"This is... a very nice blade..." Kei muttered, she was looking at the naked man floating in a pod. The Healing pod they just started making to be exact, the Oracle was sure that there would be many ways this could go worse but when the man inside kept reminding her that she was often confused as a boy, albeit unintentionally, she just couldn't find it in herself to care... much, "...I wonder how he got that?"
Noire was beside her reading a book, "...I think it was named Ira, by the way, why are you looking at it from so far away?"
The Oracle pointed to the burnt corpse, "That man tried to touch it, and got burned to a crisp you weren't there but it was rather horrifying... his screams were like the souls from the underworld, a bit understandable considering the owner's name is Thanatos."
The CPU sighed and put down the book that was titled, 'How to make friends Vol. 10,' placing her hands against the stained glass that held the unconscious S-Ranker. "Are you sure this is a good idea, I mean its not like I'm worried, but there have been casualties for this right?"
"Yes, but this is his own choice and correct me if I'm wrong but you were the one to suggest it to him," Kei reminded, the CPU sighed and picked up her book. "...Is... Is that normal?"
"Hmmm?" Noire glanced up and gasped, "H-How?!"
The glass began breaking as Schwarz's form began shaking uncontrollably, the lost chunks on his body rapidly reformed and soon he looked like he wasn't attacked by two cannibalistic instinct drive goddess and a nurse. Kei looked at the screen beside sighed, it showed that he was completely healed.
Schwarz blinked as he shook the liquid from his hair, "I... I sort of regret pulling out right now."
"Pulling what?" Kei asked, then sighed when he held up the cord from behind him, "I see, well seeing that your all healed up right now, I believe that you can handle this by yourself?"
"Of course!" Noire huffed and blushed, "But can you bring in the clothes I made for him, he's sort of... naked."
Schwarz looked down, "Hm, I'll turn around."
(Nevermore)
"That took a lot faster than I expected," Schwarz sighed as he walked through the streets of Lastation with Noire beside him, after he came out of the tank 3 days before the expected date they went on with their lives as they would before Neptune asked him to go to Leanbox with her. The two has just come back from fighting with another horde of Dogoos after they found some Chips.
"I cannot believe they all went after me!" Noire pouted as she adjusted the jacket he gave her after the Dogoo's disintegrated her dress, "...Blue does not look good on you,"
"I know," He sighed, "The last time I fought that many Dogoos I swear the same thing happened."
Schwarz paused, "Do you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Noire hummed, "Oh, by the way we're going to need to clear the fields west of here, this request said that there have been sighting of Bow-Wielding Skeletons lately."
He nodded, smelling the hair as he did so, "...It sounds and smell like flames... You go on ahead, I need to check this out."
"It's probably just someone setting up camp, there isn't any villages or towns around here," Noire sighed, "Oh fine, I can do this by myself. Try to catch up with me after you check it out, okay?"
"Roger." He jumped off the bridge and landed on the mountain path below them, Schwarz ran towards where the smell of flames and ashes were most prominent.
He only hoped he reached it in time... sadly a part of him wanted to watch it burn and the part that began to form and grow as he spent time with Noire and the others was quickly losing, he gritted his teeth and jumped over a large boulder narrowly fitting through the gap between the boulder and the cave it was sealing, he would've punched it but that would probably bring a cave in and where he was going, he sort of needed a quick getaway if things go south.
Schawrz, or his moniker, Thanatos, was not easily shocked. The Dogoo man a couple of days ago not counted because who would expect a body coming out of the Dogoo. He was stronger than most of the Goddesses at the time, independent, well trained by himself, and had most of the time the choices he makes where usually.
[Punch it] and [Kill it] and the occasional [Explode it from the inside out]
So when he encountered a fairly large town that was very well hidden that the Patron Goddess herself didn't know about it, granted it was nowhwere near the four main settlements in Gamindustri, it was still damn near impressive that he didn't know of it. However, the time to be impressed by their ability to hide themselves were far, now was the time to venture in the flaming buildings and try to save whoever's still alive... regrettably.
"Oh wow, Noire does not want to learn about this massacre." Was the only thing the black porcupine haired as he slowly trekked through the burning remains of the town, admiring the destruction with a weird sense of glee, and sadness. There were crosses stuck on the ground and bodies crucified on them, so far they were all clothed so that was a relief, but their expressions struck a rare emotion deep within his non-existent heart. The destruction was not from a monster attack, nor was it from a jaeger... mostly because he saw the note stuck on everyone's crucified corpse.
Also he noted that almost every woman here had larger, or average tits, he noticed it when every woman had a stake going through them.
"The Have Nots will rule the world, Death to all the Haves!" It read, he wondered what they meant by Have Nots and haves, he remembered Noire mentioning it some days ago but paid it no mind because it was a subject she talked with Kei about, speaking of the trap, she seemed oddly saddened when they talked. He heard Noire trying to reassure the Oracle by saying she herself was in the middle ground and she was still in her teenage years, which was surprising because the job she took was very hard and demanding.
Something he can't do to save his life, he was too careless.
"...No..." He lowly whispered as he stood in front of a barely hanging door, "No, no, no... This better not be what I'm hearing..." Pressing his hand against the door it fell apart, inside the house had the furniture destroyed, flipped, torn, crushed and saw some legs sticking out of the a cabinet. Seeing a note on the table he read it.
[I saw a spider and I threw a table at it. The spider survived so I threw a cabinet, it still survived so I threw my wife. I will continue to pursue this spider so please my dear, Octavia, take care of our little princesses, Aria and Peashy, while I chase after this spider. Do not worry, the Have Nots will not find her.] For a spider, throwing your wife and probably killing her was a bit too much, this person has some nasty arachnophobia, and then leaving your daughter. That was simply irresponsible, for a parent.
"I guess I should find those infants... if they're still alive, that is." He gritted his teeth, remembering the last time he found himself in a similar situation. Two muggers killed the parents and shot the kid then proceeded to commit necrophilia. Yeah, enjoyed torturing that motherfucker and sent the other to One Thousand Years of Death.
The room itself was in better condition than the rest of the house, there were baby blue walls, various toys and stuffed animals around the room so he assumed that this was the two sister's room. Speaking of said infants, the little girls were peacefully sleeping as a woman was crouching over them, getting ready to pick her the blue haired one up with a knife in her hand and a sick smile.
He narrowed his eyes and snapped her neck, sadly the infant woke up from the sound but strangely stayed silent as he tossed the dead woman across the room, making a hole through the building.
They had different hair colors but he could see that they were related, they had the same eyes... and nothing else.
The one that was calmly smiling at him with tired eyes had blue hair and was a bit quiet considering she was almost killed by a crazed woman, the other infant however had blonde hair and was crying quite audibly... the lungs on that baby... he could feel himself slowly losing his hearing as the baby continued to wail. Schwarz picked them up, luckily they were small enough that when he leaned backwards he could hold the two of them with little problem.
It was a bit hard to look in front of him though, also it was hard to walk.
"Hm, another note? Can this man get any more irresponsible," He sighed and held the babies, reading the note that was stuck on the wall.
[Whoever finds this note... please, be a good man, or woman I'm not going to assume your gender... Please, keep my precious angels safe, there are bad women targeting her because of our genes and using our most recent project, we have deduced that my precious angel Aria has the highest affinity to the higher elements, that being Time, Space and Mirage in the whole world, she has the potential to rival the CPUs in they're prime!] This got off track a bit. [Please be their new father, or mother, again not assuming your gender, or brother and sister. Just please... save them.]
He looked into the baby's crystal azure orbs, she was smiling, then he noticed another note beside it, this one looked more like a birth certificate. [Name: Aria, was born on the day of January 13th...] [Peashy...]
"Good to know their birthday, now how to find out their ages... Judging by their height, weight and overall looks their both about... 1 year old." He glanced at the black and white spots on her back, and even at her age he could see that this one was already aware at what was happening around her. Her smile seemed angelic, but it held something that amused and concerned him, this girl better not be developing a complex because he was old enough to be her father several times over, not that it would mean much to him anyway he was immortal.
"There it is!" He calmly sighed and looked at the duo of women gathered in front of the broken door, they all had identical white capes with yellow outlines. "And there's... a man, why is there a man here? Nora, I swear if you missed one just because he looked hot."
"I-I-I did no such thing!" The one beside her stuttered, "How could you shift the blame on me for this one!"
"Oh I dare," The one that spoke crossed her arms, "Whatcha going to do about it? Gonna bitch slap- motherfucker I was bullshitting!"
Schwarz sighed, and gave them the coldest and harshest glare he had ever made an effort to give, "No cursing!"
"R-Right!" The two shivered, then the one with the taller one walked up and huffed.
Oh great, he only hoped that Aria wouldn't gain they're attitudes... better kill them before she picks up on their traits then, now how to do it without her picking up his traits. He was already a bad influence enough as is, no need to add another to his list of people he influenced.
Still remembered how Noire threatened him with a kitchen knife of all things.
"We are the legion of Have Nots!" She proudly declared, "And we have attacked this innocent and kind village of Pan, if you ask why it is because of their bre- Gah!"
"Yeah, really glad she's asleep right now." He muttered as he kicked off the woman's head while she was talking, the head flew and impacted with the one she was arguing with earlier, watching the now headless body freely give out fresh blood on the floor, giving the room some sort of sick feeling.
He glanced at the sleeping babies as they try to get closer to him, it was going to be a challenge to go back considering the numbers of monsters he went through to come here, but since the option of leaving them at an orphanage went through the window when he felt something strange pulling at his chest when he looked at the two, he knew that in the future they would become important and relevant in the future.
On a side note, Peashy has finally fallen asleep.
"...I just hope Noire would react well to these two..." Doing a mental link while he was in unknown hostile territory was stupid and sounds like something Neptune would do for shits and giggles.
(Nevermore)
"Calm down, Peashy!" Schwarz called as he struggled to hold Aria in his arms, while chasing down the energetic child who was walking all over the place, he was sweating because she was very fast for a kid and he he was using his neck to hold the bottle, so he wasn't able to properly see the kid. Kei was being no helpd because she was still shocked that he of all people brought in two kids, both a year old, into the Basilicom and asked her if they have milk.
Then she started muttering to herself, so he went to the kitchen and tried to find some milk.
Then Peashy found something that caught her attention, which led to their current predicament, the blonde kid was staring into the picture of a bee which for some reason, was in the Basilicom, he suspected Kei or Noire brought it in. Or Anonydeath trespassed again and gave them this picture... he had half a mind to check it for cameras.
No, hell no, this is not happening right now!
Thanatos, or more commonly known as Schwarz, did not bring in two babies into the Basilicom.
Where did he even get them!? Did he steal them, is he going to use them to get more alone time with Noire?
The last one was a bit of a stretch, the man was famous for how casual he acted with her. So him bringing, possibly kidnapping, two infants would be just ridiculous, Peter, even with his unnatural obsession with their Lady would not resort to this.
But sadly, reality is a very hard thing to accept.
So when Kei Jinguji, the Oracle of Lastation, The famous Trap, and one of Noire's only friends. Has witnessed the merciless killer walk in while leaning backwards into the Basilicom, she must face the truth.
He had brought in two babies.
One of which he was changing diapers.
So that was at least amusing to watch, he did managed to impress her as he changed it with his feet while feeding the blue haired kid some milk.
"Hey, mind helping me here?" His voice was slightly muffled with the dirty diaper in his mouth, in all the time she had knew him he looked focused. It was understandable at least, he was biting the edges of the dirty diaper so the unearthly smell of baby poop was hitting him full force... and with his enhanced senses, imagine that only times 200 stronger... it was a wonder why he hasn't passed out.
"I'm back!" Noire opened the door and her hand rose to pinch her nose in disgust, "My God, what is that smell?! Schwarz what the hell did you bring this ti-!"
She then stopped and took a good look at him, "...I like this."
The man just glared at her, then his eyes widened when he accidentally opened his mouth so the diaper went into his mouth... the dirty one. It was a good thing he had good control or else Aria would've met the ground and most likely die, so Noire snapped a picture and smiled.
"Neptune would love to see this," She smiled, "I wonder if IF and Compa would like to see this picture as well."
"...Don't..." He spat out the diaper and glared, which quickly faded when he found that Aria had finished her bottle. Also he had finished changing Peashy's diapers, it was a good thing he got so used to using his feet, or else this would've taken a whole lot longer. The man sighed and placed her on the sling he made, this way he can carry them both at the same time because for some reason they don't want to be left alone on their beds, where they're safe... mostly because Kei only leaves the room when the Basilicom calls for her, or nature calls.
Other than that, then Noire when she isn't out helping the people in 'disguise' and sometimes as Black Heart, he did the same only without easily seen through disguises, he might have to give IF a call, he might not be able to help them in they're next trip.
He sighed and laid the two babies on his, now they're, bed and took a seat on it so they would be able to see him. They were crawling towards him slowly and laid their little hands and head on his lap and napped, he sighed again. This was going to be a long night, might as well give her a call now.
"IF, good afternoon." He greeted.
"Likewise, what's up? You usually don't call me unless something important happens," She replied, "Is something happening in Lastation?"
"No, but I might not be able to join you in your trip to Lowee after all," He glanced at the sleeping babies, "You see, while Noire and I were doing some jobs, I heard fire and went off to check it out. While there, I saw a whole village burned to the ground and almost everyone crucified, the women had iron stakes going through their chest for some reason and inside a house I found two kids, from the note I read they were both one-year old and were about to be killed by a crazed woman."
"Ah, I see well then the girls and I might visit you later then," She sighed, "And about Lowee... we're already there and are currently resting in the Basilicom."
He pinched his nose, "Neptune got impatient and went on ahead, the rest of you followed, then one thing led to another you encountered some plot and then all's well and now your prepping yourself to face off the CPU, did I get it right?"
"...Almost," She muttered, "I wonder if Nep's rubbing off on you, anyway the only thing you got wrong in that sentence was we're facing the Fake CPU, we have the real CPU with us and she's looking at me funny."
He petted Aria and Peashy's heads when they began squirming, "I see, well then I'm going to be busy for a while until I can find a babysitter... if they even accept them, good luck on the fight."
Noire walked up to him with documents and camera in hand, she was smiling then took a picture of him, "Was that IF? Don't tell me Neptune forgot about you."
"No, apparently she only got impatient," He sighed and scanned the content, seeing they were all minor jobs that he could do in a few hours, "Hm, does Kei know how to take care of kids?"
The Trap raised her head, "I believe I do, why do you ask?"
"Because," He pointed to the babies, "You're going to be looking after them, or Noire, either way if I'm going to work I'll need one of you to look after them and I can't trust the Basilicom as it is now, who knows what they might do to them."
"I see," She nodded, then turned back to her work, "Well then, I'm afraid I have other matters to attend to, Noire, you can look after them while he's gone correct? They are sleeping right now, so you won't have much to do."
The CPU nodded, "I'm fine with that, Schwarz?"
"I only hope they won't get your Tsundere personality," He sighed, then shook his head, "Peashy is already a mini Neptune, and Aria's like MAGES. when she was younger, only less interested in magic and science and being a Mad Magician."
"Hey!" Noire pouted, then sighed, "Just go out and do your job, I can take care of a couple of kids."
He nodded and gently placed them on they're pillows, making sure to give them his recently repaired cloak so they won't wake up from the lack of warmth, it already happened before so...
"By the way," He poked his head back, Noire was blushing and was holding her hands behind her back, "One of them's a bitter, try not to lose a finger now, we already have someone with one arm, we don't need somebody else to lose a limb."
"Thanks for the info, now get going already!" She harshly whispered, then tentatively turned back.
(Nevermore)
He left the Basilicom to do the jobs assigned to him by Noire, glancing back at the building he sighed why was he feeling that something might happen in there, well, since Noire was with the babies so he had little to worry about. She might be a bit weaker than him right now, but that was mostly because of Avenir and her low shares. The other CPUs were in the same situation either because of other companies and for being gone for about a few thousand years.
"Oh you have got to be shitting me!" He groaned when he saw the first request, "...Oh, this is going to be painful."
Client: Anonydeath
Request: Extermination
The carriages carrying my supplies have recently been attacked by monsters, I humbly ask the CPU of Lastation to please exterminate this monster and meet me in person at the very edge of Lastation... if you cannot find me, ask the Death God.
Reward: 70,00 Credits and a secret~
"What is that idiot doing now?" He groaned, "This is going to be a long day..."
He turned a corner and jumped back, there was a girl that looked suspiciously like Neptune only older and she was actually reading from a book, or was it a notebook? Either way she continued walking even as he jumped back, from what he could read the notebook she had on her said something about rarest species of bugs in the Ultradimension.
She was also wearing a similar dress with slight differences, her pakra was colored black and had a purple hood, strings that look like controller plugs, and two huge black and purple pockets with blue circle on them. As for her lower body, other than the black and purple gun holster on her leg and her shoes were black and purple, she wasn't wearing much.
"...That girl looks like she'll be important later..." He muttered to himself as he watched her form disappear when she turned a corner.
(Mountains: Twenty minutes later)
"The specified location is somewhere around here," He muttered to himself as stood on top of the cliff, the path was straight and it was smooth compared to the other paths in this mountain, he could see some remains of wooden carts in the ground and there was a monster feasting on a body, there was another one screaming bloody hell as it was slowly eaten by a hive of carnivorous bees. "Huh, that's a thing. Well, Noire won't be happy if she finds out thatI just let a person die, so I guess I'll 'save' him... not that it would matter much, he'll just die on the way back."
He ran down the mountain and ignited his fist alight, the bees seemed to have sensed the heat as they stopped gnawing on the running man and the corpse, and turned to face him, they were all the size of Neptune's head so he was confused as to why they haven't eaten them already, there was about a thousand of them after all.
Which brought another question, where the hell did they come from?
He grunted and dove fist first into the swarm, the flames on his fist burning the bees and the flames from they're body healing him. So basically it was just a slaughter for the poor insects... on an unrelated note, he could see the girl from earlier was running towards him with two swords in hand, she jumped into the swarm with him and spun.
It was super effective.
The Bees are dead.
And he looks like a puffer fish.
"Hahahahahaha!" The girl held her stomach, she was pointing at him as he grumbled, "You... haha, look like a puffer fish!"
He growled, "I noticed, why and who are you?"
She calmed herself down, "Haha... ha~ Oh that was a good laugh, my name is Neptune and I'm a dimension Hopper!"
"..." He sighed and slowly shook his head, "...Have a nice day, I need to do my job..."
"Hey! You don't believe me do you?!" She pouted, "Well, anyway. Have you seen the bug named Cryptids?"
He froze and raised a brow, "Those aren't bugs."
"What?!" She gasped, "Then does that mean my information was wrong, drat, and I was so looking forward to catching one..."
He sighed, "Even if you do find one, catching, let alone defeating one won't be an easy task." Cryptids were being made from another plane, not dimension, and were somehow able to appear in their plane of existence. They were powerful creatures that when all the Goddesses combine their powers at their full power, then they would still be able to barely stand a chance against them. He had encountered one in his life so far, and he was almost killed in a matter of seconds, it didn't even have the elemental affinity he was weak to and didn't have the ability to bypass his defense, granted he didn't have Aegis, but losing to one made him go back to training.
He leaned back when she invaded his private space, "What are you doing?"
She hummed then smiled brightly, "Now I know where I recognized you! You're Craig's older brother right?"
"Craig?" Now that was a name he hadn't heard for years, and it was a name he wasn't happy to hear... well, not as unhappy he would be if he heard Arseid, Albrea and Schwein's name at least, he was the first one to go when he failed the Final Trial and then he heard that they would throw the others away since they have been interacting with the Seven Virtues for far too long and some of their characteristics have stayed with them.
It didn't help he was three to four-ish when he first met them and he lived with the third strongest Virtue for a decade so he might have picked up a bit of personality from Rean.
"Yeah! He said you changed so much since the two of you last met," She dug into her sack and brought out her notebook, she was skimming through the pages and then landed on somewhere near the middle. "Here!"
"Hello!" He blinked and rubbed his eyes, nope still there, "Got anything to eat? I'm starving! She doesn't let me eat because last time she did I escaped while she was sleeping, it took her three days! Hahahaha!"
He growled, "Nice to see you too, Craig."
"Now, now, bro no need to be so hostile!" The face sweated... somehow, "We're family! A barely functional one that wants to kill each other and haven't seen one another in two centuries, but we're family! I haven't forgotten the violin you gave me,"
"What do you want?" Craig sighed and took out a book, while inside the notebook.
"Well, long story short, The Deity of Sins in your, mine, and the other's dimension are rising and only we can kill it," He pushed up the glasses he didn't need, "While there's a sword that can seal it, only one of us can kill it and make it disappear for far longer than some stupid seal and if one of us fails, the other Deity of Sins would gain the powers of the one who dies... and the dimension of the one who died, will be destroyed..."
Craig looked serious, "No matter what the people, or the CPUs might do. Even if they somehow managed to seal it, the multiverse will personify itself and erase the very dimension itself."
He calmed himself down, "I see, then how much longer do we have?"
"Well, thanks to Neptune's constant traveling I heard that the Deity of Sin in your dimension is going to appear in a decade or so," Schwarz hummed and motioned for him to continue, "That leaves you another decade to look for the people Orion sealed your seal's keys... wait, Congratulations! Now, you have 5% of you full power!"
He pointed Ira to the book, Neptune panicked and jumped back, "Whoa, bro, don't damage the book..."
"...Sorry," He sheathed Ira, "...Is that all?"
"What?!" Craig gasped, "We've been apart for two decades and just when we finally meet again, you want to ditch me?! How cruel!"
Neptune nodded, "Yeah, not cool."
"Oh shut up," He grumbled, "You don't know how he treated me when we were younger... and after that."
"I accidentally swallow you once!" Neptune paled, "Don't make that face Neptune, you gotta believe me I changed!"
Schwarz turned to the side and muttered, "After you almost digested Fiona."
"Wait, so the time when he said he ate people?!" Neptune paled, "It was all real?"
He nodded, "As real as you and I and the ground beneath us, he eats anything... heck I even remember him eating himself."
"I was hungry and there wasn't anything to eat for miles!"
He glared at the book, "Doesn't excuse you for traumatizing Millium and Altina."
"For the love of- I'm sorry!" Craig sighed and crossed his arms, "And I see you haven't changed as much as I thought you did..."
He scoffed and turned on his heel, the man from before was still crying over the copse which upon closer inspection was a female and she had a ring around her ring finger... he put two and two together and he winced, the man just lost a wife, his job and probably any hope to living a happy life.
"W-Why?!" The man howled, turning to him with red eyes he stood up and grabbed him by his collars, "Why couldn't you come earlier?!"
He shook off the man's hold, "Don't blame me, this place is far from the city." His head stood still as the man's fist impacted with his face, Neptune widened her eyes and tried to calm the man and probably him down.
"Yikes! Calm down old man," Neptune sweated, "And Schwarz! Don't do anything stupid, or irresponsible!"
He calmly stared into the man's rage and grief filled orbs, the lost of a loved one was painful, excruciating even. Schwarz nodded and turned around, not caring for the fact that the man dug around the wreckage and pulled out a bow, then began shooting him in the back. The arrows he was shooting bypassed defense, so he was feeling the full force of the attack and would have retaliated, he was sure if he was the same a few weeks ago he would've killed the man the moment he laid his hands on him.
But he changed.
He was still a bastard, that was a fact he would be always proud of, but other than that he learnt restraint... not a lot of it, but he learned enough so that he wouldn't kill anything and everything that dares harms him.
(Nevermore)
"What the hell is this?" He held up a black disk and narrowed his eyes, he found it when he wandered into a cave while looking for a monster and found an altar. It wasn't anything special, it was the stereotypical altars with a black disk on a slot, he smelled Ganache but paid him no mind, anything he can do to him right now will be completely useless.
"...No, seriously the hell is this?" He muttered to himself, then shrugged and pocketed it, he was sure it would come to use later... everything people finds in caves or old forests always comes to use later in they're life. "Hm, oh is that a monster?"
It was purple, and was mechanical, which was confusing since it smelled like it was made of flesh and even had pieces of moving flesh on it.
All in all it was a disturbing sight, even for him. Mostly because of the seven giant floppy piece of meat around it lower area, it wasn't a dick that he was sure, but it also wasn't a weapon... maybe it was used for holding down opponents? He took another look at the request and paled, according to this he was supposed to bring back exactly seven of those things and they were... cooking ingredients.
222 years and this was the first them he had ever felt so disturbed, who would even think of eating those thing, he knows that people eat goat testicles, heck there was even a video on it on Neptube and heard that it tasted good but never actually tried it.
"...I'm not going to complain," He groaned, "A job is a job, I either do it or leave it... and since I have Aria and Peashy with me now I have to set an example... regrettably."
The last time he tried to set an example was when K-Sha was... 4, no 3 and that was before she was taken by the Order to train to be an assassin and a few years prior to her parent's deaths and after that was with MAGES. but she became obsessed with magic and science when she got a call from an Organization of some sorts, then there was Tekken who was the only one he was partially successful in influencing to become a hard worker and great fighter.
Maybe it was because they had similar fighting style's? The punching part not the martial arts, what he was doing was adapting to what his opponents and the environment around him does, he doesn't have a style, he literally had no style... other than when he fights with a sword, though then he just mixed the Arseid and One-Blade-Eight-Leaves Sword styles.
He sighed and blurred towards the monster, glancing at his fist for a quick second he might've gottent he hang of using his power, after that girl unlocked the seventh seal at least, he still wondered who had the sixth key, why they had to be people, how they get to make it appear and unlock, and most of all, how the hell did Orion seal the seal's keys in all these people without them noticing.
But then again, that was a question for another time for now he need to focus on getting what he needs before the monster runs or completely disappears.
Sp with that goal in mind, he leaned under the monster's four legs and punched it in the dick.
Or what he assumed was its dick, he doesn't know this monster's anatomy, it was a new species so don't blame him.
"Hm," He pressed his fist against it left leg as it toppled down from his dick shot earlier, closing his eyes he tried to do something that he shouldn't be doing while in the middle of a fight.
Learning magic, Enforcing magic to be exact.
So when his fist exploded in a raging inferno, he knew he failed.
And since it was his flame that hadn't come in contact with anything living... he took fire damage for the first time.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow?!" He winced as he shook his fist, it was badly burnt and was bloody as hell, but it was still intact. If it wasn't then he might have to make a fighting style that only uses his legs and torso, and with the times now he just didn't have the time... or the right amount of logs, bless them for they have sacrificed themselves for our sake, mostly for houses.
He hissed as he held his fist, his face a mask of surprised pain, "So that's what people feel when I punch them... maybe I should learn more restraint... Noire did say something that one time."
(Flashback)
He looked up from the files he was reading and saw Noire limping towards her bed, the S-Ranker raised a brow and bolted towards her when she started to fall.
"Are you okay?!" The mark and Blood seal didn't react so he knew she wasn't in danger so why was she so tired, and she just slept a few hours ago. So her being like this made no sense at all.
"No... more... so... sore..." She moaned.
He blinked, "...Context please, I don't want to know that my Master has been doing the nasty without my knowledge... and even if you did it might bring down your Shares faster than a rock falling down the ocean..."
She sent him a pained look, "My back is so sore... I might have to get a massage treatment after this."
He hummed, he did notice her sleeping in a rather uncomfortable position the time she napped but she didn't show any signs of stiffness back then... then again he was went to sleep after she woke up, it might be because of that. Pity, injuries and all sorts of muscle pains were a bane for every fighter, he remembered the time he gave Tekken a massage to help her with her sore back which he still suspected was because of her breasts.
Also he wanted to know why he didn't notice the pain, half the pain she gains are sent to him so he should've felt that something was wrong with her the moment it started acting up, but since he was too engrossed in a believable report on Sine Prioire he might've not noticed it. He did have a record of ignoring pain for an unspecified amount of time.
Like the time with MAGES. when he had a giant leech sucking him from below and several piranhas, he didn't even notice them until MAGES. pointed them out when she saw the blood seeping into the arctic waters.
He tilted his head, "I know how to give a massage, and Tekken seemed to love them when I did it. So mind if I give it a try?"
"You?" He nodded, "I have a feeling that you might accidentally break my back if you do this... fine, I'm trusting you on this Schwarz..."
Smiling he led them to a spacious room he usually used to train when he couldn't leave the Basilicom and that he was sure, and recently checked, was clear of pink armored clad hacker cameras and made her go to the separate bathroom and strip her clothes then asked her to wear a towel, or don't it was her choice.
"...You look fitter than I thought, I'm impressed," He inspected her body and tilted his head to not get slapped. "What was that for? I just gave you a compliment."
"P-Pervert! Just get this over with already!" He sighed and led the blushing CPU over to a table, which he already arrange to be into a makeshift massage table, it had a few pillows which he stole from the Basilicom on it to make her more comfortable. "Y-You better not take advantage of this!"
He sighed, shaking his head and gave her a look, "How many times do I have to say it, I'm not a pervert!"
She huffed and turned to lay on the pillows, strangely extremely comfortable with his presence and almost immediately went into a peaceful state, the S-Rank sighed again and got to work... starting from her shoulders, he'll make his way downwards might as well give her a full body massage and if he was lucky make her sleep he had noticed that she was getting bags under her eyes lately and was planning on either making her sleep, or knocking her out.
He twitched when she moaned, but focused on controlling his strength he didn't want to accidentally break her back like she said earlier after all. he narrowed his eyes when he hit a particularly stubborn spot so he used magic to ease them, it thankfully worked out as planned and more as she gave out the most erotic moan he had heard from her yet.
She turned to him blushing and stumbling with her words, "Y-Y-You didn't hear anything!"
He simply nodded and went to her sides, carefully working out the sinews, slowly yet surely separating the bundles of muscle fibers that was tightly bound together. He gave out a sigh of relief when she relaxed even more.
Then came the hard part... he was careful not to stare at her ass and massaged the outer tendons and inner ligaments on the back of her thigh. He knew it was a bit slow compared to professionals but it was the best he could do without breaking her.
"Ow!" He winced when he gripped a spot a bit too hard, "And you were doing so good too!"
He coughed and looked down, "Noire, your uhm, your chest is a bit... revealed."
"What?" She blinked and looked down, then blushed atomically, the walked up to him the towel falling off her body as she made her way then stood on her toes and slapped him... then she retreated to the back of the table, picking up her towel, and held her hand with a pained hiss.
"Why are you so hard?" She shook her hand.
He raised a brow as he smelled arousal, "Mostly training and genetics."
"I see," She sighed and motioned for him to turn around, which he did so and heard her making her way towards the separate bathroom. She came back out in her usual fancy dress, blushing but looked a lot better than before.
"Now that that's settled, let's get to work." He gave her a look, "Oh fine, I'll rest for a few hours. I'm not doing this for you, just so you know."
He nodded and looked out of the doorway, seeing that no one was withing sight he closed the door, which made a loud bang before it came off its hinges. They glanced up and saw that the entire section above the door was littered with cracks and so was the side, The CPU sighed and poked the pieces, Schwarz then moved her out of harms way as the wall crumbled.
"Ah," He sighed, then gave her a look, "Try not to do something Neptune would do,"
Noire looked surprised and a bit impressed, "You should consider learning to control your strength, I don't want my friend to be blamed for the destruction of a Basilicom, okay?"
He grumbled and reluctantly nodded.
(End)
That was yesterday and he still hadn't learned enough control to properly crack an egg without breaking it, or the table so he still had a lot to learn. On the bright side, during his flashback he killed the monster and got what he needed.
So with seven long appendages over his shoulder he made his way back to Lastation.
(Nevermore)
When he returned to Lastation's Basilicom he expected to find Noire littered with bite marks from Peashy and the two kids running up to him in tears, well Aria at least Peashy will most likely try to headbutt him, it happened before so don't call him desperate. But what greeted him was the sight of Noire holding the crying Aria and a blue haired woman holding Peashy, she was getting her face bit.
And it was amusing.
"Hey, Noire." He called them over and when Aria saw him, she squirmed in her arms so the CPU quickly ran up to him and handed her over, the little blue-haired girl immediately calm once in his arms.
"Geez, I don't know what's her problem but ever since she woke up all she wanted was you," Noire winced as she held her arm, "I had to endure getting bit by Aria and Peashy, you better have done a good job or I'll do a good job on remodeling your face."
"Well, I got a bit more than the estimated price and they said that they'll definitely put their faith into Black Heart, so is that considered a good job or is it a bad job?" He glanced at Aria and smiled at her, the girl smiling back before snuggling into him. So she was those clingy types, he hoped that as she grows older she would get rid of that, but the future is always a mystery so he could only hope.
"Is this true Aria?" He kindly smiled, "Did you hurt Noire?"
She froze for a second and looked up to him with teary dog eyes, now how she managed to learn how to do that he had no clue but if she did that to any other men then they would've succumbed to her every whim. Sadly for her, he an S-Ranker with the moniker of a Death God, which other people named him, so he wouldn't fall to that technique so easily.
"Did you?" He asked again, this time with a bit more force, not enough to scare her but enough to make the one year old answer.
"..." She made some noises and then struggled to speak, "S-Sha?"
"That sounds like a name, and will someone please tell me, I don't care if your plot convenience or something, please tell me why the hell they're already so attached to me?!" He mentally shouted and sighed, glancing at Aria he noticed that she was somehow making her look like she was expecting something from him, "Good job, you still didn't answer my question though."
She whined and nodded her head.
"Good girl," She beamed and Noire gaped.
She patted his arm with a warm smile, "Did you just praise a girl from hurting someone? A little girl no less!"
"Yeah, why?" He asked, "It was how I grew up... oh, I see the problem."
She huffed, "Good thing you know, now help Chian with Peashy, we still need to buy groceries."
He tilted his head, "Why? The food in the Basilicom are always restocked every second day of the week so why?"
"Well, the thing is..." Noire glanced at the struggling woman and leaned closer to whisper, "Do me a favor and not tell Chian I'm the CPU okay?"
He nodded, "Good the thing is... we got kicked out of the Basilicom."
He blinked, slowly turning to the blushing woman...
"What?"
