Many thanks to those who reviewed this fic. I appreciate it a lot, and I am surprised to see so many reviews. Thanks, everyone! Now we pick up the next chapter where the last one left off, and here you will get to see Junko Enoshima playing the role of the Goddess of Mercy, and you will see what antics she would pull off as she gives Makoto Sanzo a treat he would never forget...
Well, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 9: Tengoku de Tsūringu
Having seen what the Goddess of Mercy did to the first batch of Makoto's detractors, the rest of the envious and disgruntled critics of Makoto complained to the Goddess of Mercy about her showing SPECIAL TREATMENT to Makoto Sanzo, they argued that Makoto's existence is the root cause of all this, saying that a foundling like him has no place here, and do not deserve a goddess' blessing, and told her not to be fooled by a boy who may be BEAUTIFUL on the outside, saying he is ROTTEN on the inside, and this irked the goddess seeing this kind of insubordination and the lead detractor insinuated that she is STUPID for showing compliment to a mere TRASH like Makoto.
"What did you say…?"
"You heard me!"
"Are you saying I'm STUPID?"
"If you insist on spoiling that brat…yes!"
"…"
"That brat's a river drifter…a dirty boy! He do not deserve such treatment!"
"You…"
"Just kill him!"
The Chief Abbott became alarmed and reprimanded the detractors for their foolishness and told them to stop it, but the detractors were so stubborn and called the Chief Abbott and Sanzo the 30th FOOLS for defending a trash like Makoto, and the Goddess of Mercy sighed as she took something out from her upper garment, where you can see a remote controller, and she pressed the button and an explosion is heard, and smoke billowed in a form of a MUSHROOM-shaped cloud.
KA-BOOM!
As the smoke cleared, the detractors are gone, and all that is left are their sandals, which were smoking hot, and the temple, officials, students, and the Chief Abbott, knelt down and bowed non-stop, begging for mercy as they just witnessed her unleashing a SMALL PERCENTAGE of her WRATH, which Makoto stared in surprise as this was the first time he has seen anything like this.
"WE'RE SORRY!"
"FORGIVE US!"
"SHOW US MERCY!"
"WE WON'T DO IT AGAIN!"
"JUST DON'T HURT US!"
"WE BEG YOU!"
"PLEASE!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
Makoto was speechless as this was the first time to see her rather ANGRY SIDE, and he could not help but feel sorry for his detractors, yet there is nothing he can do as it is out of his hands, and he watched the temple officials and the pupils kneeling and bowing non-stop just to appease the Goddess of Mercy, as they begged her not to punish the temple, and the goddess just watched them procrastinating as she pondered on whether to SHOW THEM MERCY or make them feel her WRATH.
"WE'RE SORRY!"
"FORGIVE US!"
"SHOW US MERCY!"
"WE WON'T DO IT AGAIN!"
"JUST DON'T HURT US!"
"WE BEG YOU!"
"PLEASE!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
The Goddess of Mercy just stared at them, and she finally spoke and told the Chief Abbott to do something about it as seeing these kind of people ruined her mood and made it clear that she might consider blacklisting this temple unless there is change here, and the Chief Abbott bowed non-stop and pleaded to her for mercy and compassion, admitting that he was not strict enough to discipline his disciples.
"Forgive me!"
"…"
"I was not too strict to my pupils!"
"…"
"I promise to bring change here!"
"…"
"Please…have mercy on this temple!"
"…"
She then sighed and said that she will forget what has happened today, and told him to get to work in disciplining his people which the chief Abbott nodded, and there she approached Makoto and asks him if he is feeling okay, which he smiled and nodded saying that he is not bothered by what his detractors said about him, and she smirked seeing that for a young priest he sure is optimistic, and there she told him that she will give him a tour of Heaven, and said that this will be good for him before resuming his journey towards the west.
Makoto nodded as the Goddess of Mercy led him towards the teleporter and once they entered, the teleporter glowed, and as the door was opened, both Makoto and the Goddess of Mercy are gone, and the Chief Abbott then told his colleagues and pupils to change their ways and stop being picky, showing them the remains of the burnt sandals and said that even the Goddess of Mercy can get angry if provoked, and the pupils knelt down and bowed several times to show that they regretted their actions towards Makoto.
"WE'RE SORRY!"
"FORGIVE US!"
"SHOW US MERCY!"
"WE WON'T DO IT AGAIN!"
"JUST DON'T HURT US!"
"WE BEG YOU!"
"PLEASE!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"

The scene then shifts to Heaven, and there the teleporter glowed and both the Goddess of Mercy and Makoto Sanzo emerged there, and he was awed at the sight before him, as he is inside the castle walls and he can see several gods and goddesses walking about, some acting like residents and tourists, and the Goddess of Mercy smiled as she told him that this will be a one-time only moment where he would get to see heaven once while as a living person.
There she led him around, and there they came across a stall where a young goddess is holding a wand, has pale skin and medium length red hair. She wears odd medieval looking shoes with black tights and a red skirt. Around the upper half of her body is a black blazer and underneath is what looks like a brown/burgundy shirt. Some of her red hair is hidden in the witch hat she wears on her head.
There the Goddess of Mercy identified her as Isis, the Goddess of magic (this girl resembled Himiko Yumeno from Danganronpa V3).There Isis saw Makoto Sanzo and decided to try a magic spell, and flicked her wand and chanted "Wingardium Leviosa", in which Makoto began to levitate in the air, which the other gods and goddesses witnessed it, but then the spell got cancelled and Makoto fell face-first to the ground, and Isis blushed in shame as she approached Makoto, apologizing for the spell that went HAYWIRED.
"I am sorry!"
"…"
"My magic sometimes went wrong randomly!"
"…"
"Please…do not get upset over a rookie goddess like me!"
"…"
"As compensation…allow my magic to make you feel better…"
"!"
To compensate, Isis flicked her wand and chanted another magic spell, and this time the Maten sutra moved on its own and began to coil around his face, almost choking him, but the spell got cancelled and Makoto arranged the sutra as she apologized again, and said she will use a healing spell to head the swelling on Makoto's nose, which he politely tried to decline, to no avail.
"I am sorry!"
"Um…that's okay…"
"My magic sometimes went wrong randomly!"
"I understand…"
"Please…do not get upset over a rookie goddess like me!"
"No need…it's okay…"
"As compensation…allow my magic to make you feel better…"
"!"
Isis then chanted "A-la Peanut Butter Sandwiches", and in an instant, his priestly robe, sleeveless shirt, black jeans and boots flew in the air, leaving Makoto naked, and he blushed deeply in embarrassment, and the other gods and goddesses began complimenting Makoto for having a petite, sexy body despite his child-like height and being 14 years old. The Goddess of Mercy smirked as her eyes glanced at his crotch as she got ideas on what to do with him.
After the spell was broken, Makoto frantically dressed up as the Goddess of Mercy led him to another area within Heaven. As they are walking, they came across someone who happened to take down a lion, and there he blinked his eyes seeing someone, a red-skinned, white-haired female, and is dressed in godly attire of war, and the Goddess of Mercy told him that the person he saw was Hercules (this one resembled Sakura Ohgami). Makoto just nodded as they proceeded to walk away.
As they proceeded to go around the castles of heaven, something unexpected happened when someone, who appeared to be someone who is a very tall and appeared to be a young muscular man. He has a noticeably angular face, and long, messy brown hair. He is seen wearing a sleeveless garment, black tights, boots and a belt, and is wearing a helmet. Another odd feature is he is carrying what appeared to be a net with a steel handle, and there the man placed the net on Makoto's head as if he has captured someone.
"Aha! Caught you!"
"?"
"I have captured a rare insect within Heaven!"
"Um…I'm not…"
"A brown-haired insect…with an ahoge…"
"Actually, sir…I…"
"I summon thee lightning!"
"W-wait…!"
The man, who appeared to be a god, summoned a lightning, which roared and the lightning struck Makoto, who appeared to be covered in black smoke and looked like a human charcoal, his eyes being the only ones visible, and there the Goddess of Mercy reprimanded the god, identified as Thor, who is the God of Thunder (this one resembled Gonta Gokuhara from Danganronpa V3). Thor then sheepishly apologized and left, and she checked on Makoto seeing he appeared to be unharmed, save for being covered in black dusts and smoke.
Seeing that he is okay, she then led Makoto around heaven to show him what went on here, and there it is shown that Heaven is in the midst of a festival and there the Goddess of Mercy treated him for food and drinks, which he has never tasted such divine cuisines, and he is somewhat enjoying himself, until one of the gods saw Makoto, and identified him as the one who RELEASED Goku from her imprisonment, and told the Goddess of Mercy that Makoto should be punished for freeing a yokai that the Goddess herself has imprisoned 500 years ago.
Makoto blinked his eyes at hearing this but the Goddess of Mercy explained that she did imprisoned Goku, but the spell she casted also has a deal: the spell would only be broken by a worthy being who would steer Goku to the RIGHT PATH, and since Makoto unintentionally freed Goku, it means that Makoto is a worthy being and is capable to taming a yokai like Goku. The Goddess of Mercy then assured that Makoto can handle Goku without problems and told the disgruntled god to calm down.
Makoto blinked his eyes in surprise as he slowly realized that the Goddess of Mercy was the one who placed Goku at Mt. Fuji, and it was by coincidence that he ended up freeing her and now he became Goku's handler.
However, a resident god sees Makoto as a mere mortal and beneath him, and made it clear that a DIRTY MORTAL like Makoto has no right being here and is poised to combat him, but Makoto then tried to use diplomacy as his first attempt to settle the matter without resorting to violence. However, the resident god was so arrogant that he began punching Makoto like a punching bag, and Makoto was forced to defend himself, and blocked the attacks with his hands, and arms, and the other residents of heaven were intrigued to see a mere mortal boy was able to hold on against the arrogant god.
"Look that that…"
"Is that a mortal…?"
"Looks like it…"
"He has a chakra on his forhead…"
"Then…he's a priest…?"
"But…so young…"
"He is able to stand up to a god…"
"This should be interesting…"
As the god is about to get violent, Makoto realized that he has to contain the situation and did a praying gesture and began chanting, where moments later the Maten Sutra began to move and the scrolled parts extended in length and tied up the arrogant god, immobilizing him, and everyone were impressed at what they just saw, and the Goddess of Mercy told Makoto to let go, saying that his job as a Sanzo was to fight yokai, not persons like the arrogant god, and Makoto reluctantly released the arrogant god, and there the Goddess of Mercy did an uppercut punch which sends the arrogant god upward until getting stuck in the clouds.
After that, she led Makoto away as she tells him that they are heading for the castle where she is taking residence, and he just nodded as he wanted to get away from trouble.
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as it featured references from a few mentioned gods from different mythologies, such as Isis, Thor and Hercules, in which they were parodied by some Danganronpa characters, and Makoto Sanzo used the Maten Sutra to immobilize an arrogant resident god before the Goddess of Mercy sent him away in an unconventional way.
