Prisons and Pigeons Chapter 9: It's showtime, a rwby fanfic

I do not own RWBY or Dungeons and Dragons, only my own OCs.

(Thoughts)

"Speech"

Character Sheet / System Text

"Tvs, Radios, Texts, and newspapers…"

Warning: This story is my first and English is not my first language.

…

I watch as all of the specialists put a hand on their weapons, with Ironwood motioning for them to stand down.

How cute, they think they can hurt me.

"God Horus, we do not wish to cause bloodshed, we just mean to talk with you." Ironwood calls out, this time towards the mist that I conjured.

"I'm sure you do, don't you General Ironwood. Not to mention you, Wizard of Oz. I had not checked to see if any of the old ones remained beside the ones I knew. Yet look at how much you've degraded." I try to sound mysterious while also pointing out how degraded his old soul is. I can see his soul is thousands of years old while barely having any magic left, it's kind of pathetic.

Ozpin and Ironwood look at me shocked. Probably because they thought that I was a hoax who was acting like a god.

"Not to mention talking about 'bloodshed'. Please, you are mere toddlers in front of me. Other than Ozma, that is. Though even with him, you are powerless. How about that, Oz, Powerless." I try to goad something out of him by calling him powerless. Someone as old as him must have felt powerless at some point in his life so much so that against a god that could know all of your secrets, you would relive those memories out of fear.

I believe I'm proven right as his face flashes in fear and nervousness, and Ironwood orders his specialists to move back to the bullhead while leaving only him and Ozpin.

"Absolutely not! We are not leaving you here where there is possible danger." 'Winter' objects as she looks at him scandalously.

I activate my semblance in full force, making some of the Specialists fall to their knees while others barely stand, unable to hold their weapons. Winter herself barely composes herself, albeit she starts shaking greatly. Ozpin and Ironwood are pretty composed, but I can guess that it's just a front. Maybe not so much for Ozpin, but he's holding on quite well.

"Listen here, little Winter Schnee. If I wished harm upon all of you, I'd simply open up the earth and let it swallow you whole without lifting a finger. All of those flying ships are simply small pigeons I allow in my domain. I am God-King Horus, God of the Sky, Storms, Faunus, and Power. You are but mere ants in front of me." I make my voice much louder as thunder angrily rumbles in the sky.

"You have hurt my children too much in my absence, I forgave it for the sake of the continuation of mankind as well as out of kindness, you will not come to MY domain, demand MY people as if they were slaves, and then demand MY gifts that I have given to my children." My semblance continues blaring out, getting close to killing some of the Specialists.

"Remember my Mercy, because it may just be the last I'll give." I stop my semblance and let my presence return to me as the specialists all take a deep breath of relief.

Ironwood glares at Winter, this time however she looks to the ground and begins walking back to the bullhead while the rest of the specialists get off the ground and follow her.

Ironwood gulps and looks towards the mist after all of his specialists reach the bullhead. "Thank you for not killing my specialists, Lord Horus, but I still believe we should talk and reach an agreement."

I notice the 'Lord Horus' this time since he thinks I'm a god this time and not just a fake.

"I will not give you my children nor will I give you my gifts, however, I will hear you out, if only to purely appease my curiosity and amusement. Ghira, return to the city."

Ghira bows towards me and takes his people and leaves.

Ozpin seems to have composed himself finally, though he still is sweating and is nervously looking towards the mist.

"Ozpin, come on." Ironwood nudges Ozpin as Ozpin wasn't saying anything.

"Ah, yes. So sorry. Erm, Lord Horus. I apologize for our disrespect when entering, we were not aware if you were truly a god or not. I understand that you are angry at the… mistreatment of the Faunus for the last few centuries, but you must understand that simply taking them away from the rest of the kingdoms will not solve or help our battle against the Queen of Grimm. Instead, it weakens us since we have lost thousands of able fighters." He tries to reason with me, but I'm too busy thinking about the 'Queen of Grimm'. I was right then, there's a controller.

"I have no wish to end the battle against the Grimm. They are a perfect enemy to continue progress since peace leads to in-fighting or stagnation. You are also mistaken, you do not understand my anger at the 'mistreatment' of the Faunus. If you did, you would be a lot more terrified. I had contemplated simply obliterating the four kingdoms off of the face of the earth for their crimes, the only reason I stopped myself was because I have no interest in killing innocent children who have yet to sin. The Queen of Grimm is a pest I can remove at any time as long as I wish to." I comment uninterestedly, though that is a mere facade. I am trying to get as much information as I can.

Ironwood and Ozpin nervously shuffle after hearing that I contemplated destroying the 4 kingdoms as well as after I called the Queen of Grimm a mere pest.

"But if you do not help us fight the Grimm, all of those innocent children would die." Ohhh trying to guilt-trip me now, are you?

"I do not care. I did not kill them myself, therefore their blood is not on my hands. You speak morality to a god, only my own morals matter to me. After all, I am not a mortal with such a weak mindset that I cannot stomach a child's death if it's not by my hand." This is also technically incorrect. I would probably help if one of the kingdoms were to fall. I wouldn't want my friends in Vale to die after all.

Ozpin and Ironwood are now sweating, unable to find a reason to get me to help them.

I do actually want to help them somewhat since if I don't humans would never begin to worship me or like me, and they may even try to fight my people.

I make a show of sighing before I begin to speak.

"The leylines have been restless ever since the gods left the world. None have been able to take care of them and govern them as their domain once the gods left, and thus their energy has grown rampant and began growing what you all know as 'dust'. Though the quality of this so-called 'dust' is quite weak, as it's merely the extra energy siphoned off the leylines. I asked the leylines to supply energy to my people, however, they were so excited to serve me that they are overcharging everything with energy. I can command the leylines to make Dust mines, with Dust so potent it could destroy a building in one attack at least, at any location you ask of me so long as you leave my people alone and give them true equal rights in your kingdoms. Do well enough and I'll allow trade between my kingdom and yours."

I watch as their faces light up and bow to me.

"Thank you, Lord Horus, for this opportunity. We will make sure to not mess it up." Ironwood says with gratitude as he gets up from his bow.

As I was about to speak, I see that one of the battle aircrafts begin moving forward, which Ironwood gets shocked about as he starts yelling into his radio to stop, though it seems to ignore him as it attempts to go straight towards the city.

I use a bit of clairvoyance, an ability I got from being a God recently, and see that it's a human who seemingly hates Faunus extremely and decided to take matters into his own hands.

Very well, if he wishes to take matters into his own hands, I will as well.

As the aircraft reaches land, a ray of lightning falls from the clouds, covering the aircraft completely, and reaching the ground.

The ray of lightning lasts for a quarter of a minute, before disappearing, and with it the aircraft.

Not a single spec of dust remains from the aircraft.

Ironwood and Ozpin look in shock before Ironwood has to respond to the people asking for orders to engage or not, which he adamantly refuses and berates for even thinking about it after seeing something like that.

"See that you do not disappoint me. I will be looking for when you do, and if I find something I do not like. Well, my previous actions speak for themselves. General Ironwood, you are a somewhat good General, do not let something as stupid as a council who only cares for their pockets drag your kingdom into ruin. If you have to become a tyrant to do that, then so be it. Better a happy kingdom ruled by a tyrant than a ruined kingdom ruled by Oligarchy. Ozma, do not be a fool. You are not powerless like you think you are." I give them a little advice as the wise god that I am, encouraging Ozma to get over whatever trauma he might have from when thought he was powerless.

Ozpin seems to be shocked by my statement, almost elated. He bows to me once again before speaking.

"Out of Curiosity, Lord Aurous, how powerful are you compared to the God of Light and the God of Darkness?"

"This question would be quite rude in old times, but since those two are already gone I shall answer anyway. If they were both still the same entity as they were when they created the world, I would be weaker. Individually, I am stronger than each of them. If they were both together against me, I would not know who would win as it could go 'either side' as you younglings say." I mention that casually. I'm actually not completely sure about this, but from what I can guess this should be correct. From my estimates, when I was a demigod, I was on the level of most Minor gods in my world back then, my being a Minor god was around the level of a Major god, and now that I have an entire race dedicated to me I am considered a Major god and compared to an elder god in my home.

Who knew, when a world is so empty that it's basically throwing its unoccupied domains at you finds a god it would make them stronger than any other world. By the end of this year, I may just have every 'Nature' themed domain with some out of 'Nature' domains too.

Ozpin seems shocked at my answer, probably because I confirmed that the 2 brothers had split from one entity which used to only be a myth. It's actually not that uncommon considering I know of 3 different gods, or 6 I guess who did that in my old world.

"Thank you for your advice, Lord Horus." General Ironwood seemed so deep in thought after my advice he didn't even seem to hear what we just talked about.

I nodded, before realizing he can't see me nod.

"Of course, child. You are not as horrible as the rest of your kin. Just someone in a terrible position at a terrible time. The closest a mortal is to a god is when they are a ruler. No mortal should suffer the responsibility of a god." I say very wisely as if I was never a mortal myehehehe.

He nods briefly, before bowing in respect again and walking to the bullhead, leaving Ozpin with me.

"Does this mean that Salem can be killed? Is she truly not immortal?" He asks me with hope after Ironwood leaves, leaving me confused but I have to not show it.

I laugh in a deep ancient voice before answering. "No mere mortal can ever truly be 'immortal'. Not even I am immortal, nothing is. Everything can be killed permanently. There is no exception. The end comes to everything absolutely. You can run from death, but you cannot hide. Even I will one day leave this world behind." I wisely say wise shit that I think is true but have no idea if it's true or not.

He looks down in deep contemplation briefly before bowing to me.

"I thank you for your wisdom, Lord Horus, and thank you for your mercy and forgiveness for today's transgressions. I am aware of the cruelty of the past gods as I am a victim of it myself, and I could only wish to have you as the god I worshiped so long ago." I pause a bit at that, I had completely made up the fact that the old gods were cruel, but yeah okay considering how they left the world and the Faunus god killed humans for refusing to become Faunus I can see that I'm probably correct.

"I may be the god of Faunus, but I accept even humans as my children. After all, The Faunus were humans at some point, were they not?" I want this guy as my follower, he seems to know shit and is quite strong. Considering how his soul has deteriorated and he's still level 18, well, if I patched up his soul he may just be my strongest follower.

He smiles and bows before heading back to the bullhead.

I think today was quite nice. I showed the humans that I'm not to be fucked with. I can guess that Atlas most likely was streaming everything shown since they wanted to show off their 'military might' as they usually do every time the military does anything, so they watched all of their specialists fall to the ground as well as an aircraft get obliterated into nothing by my lightning.

That will surely discourage anyone from doing anything dumb.

I have a couple of things to think about now. First of all, it seems that I was right about someone working in the shadows with the Grimm. Specifically, a Queen of Grimm named 'Salem'. I really have no idea about the history of all of that considering none of the historical texts and books I read had any idea about the origin of Grimm.

This sort of feels like the shadow war that my group and Vir Sullo had which shadowed the imperials and the independent resistance back in my old world. A conflict that had major impacts on the world, just no one knew it.

It seems that Salem has some form of immortality that only Ozpin had known about, and to make sure that his allies don't lose hope he had kept it undercover. What a good man, despite himself losing hope he didn't drag down the rest of the world with him.

Oh well, at least he now knows that there is a way to defeat this 'Salem', this way being me of course. Though Horus will have to take a backseat as Aurous becomes the hero of the world and spread Horusism everywhere.

Is that what my religion is gonna be called? Hell no. I'm going to name it… Menagerism? That could work, my religion is based in Menagerie first and foremost as well as being a result of my time with My Menagerie.

Sure, whatever, that works.

Moving back to my thoughts.

I'm going to be staying in Menagerie for one more month before making my way to Mistral and staying there for a month.

During my stay in Menagerie, I've killed every single Grimm in Menagerie and began using my Domains and Miracles to get the rest of Menagerie in working shape.

I am thinking of making Menagerie an unbreachable fortress, with only one entrance to each city, and all of the cities are connected through mountainous valleys that are made of Radiant Rocks and surveyed by Horus (what I am now calling Menagerie Me).

I will also take time to mark a circle around the entirety of the Continent in the sea so that no Grimm can pass that circle and my people could get fish easily.

Once this place TRULY becomes Grimm-Free, I'll begin changing my sights toward the other 4 kingdoms.

A Blacksmith has already walked up to my temple and prayed for me to bless his metal with my Radiance, and when I did so everyone began freaking out since that meant Radiant Metal Weapons are now in stock. RMW as they began calling it after asking me.

Here, time to show you all of the changes that have happened in my status.

Charisma: 16 (+3) / 24 (+7) {Conceptual Limit bypassed by reaching Godly status.}

…

As you can see, some changes have happened to both my stats, HP & AP and my personal attributes.

Let's start with my attributes, a new domain attribute is here which is stating my domains.

These are pretty obvious, Sky and Storm, the 2 things I had before coming to this world, Faunus and Animals, the ones I got from the full faith of 99% of all Faunus, and Power. Power is a bit tricky on how I got it basically, ever since I started referring to myself as 'God-King Horus/Aurous', everyone in my temple adding that domain under my name, and finally me achieving a 50% quality of Aura (but I don't know if this is related or not), this domain had appeared on my Personal Sheet.

Now, you may be wondering why this is a domain that matters that much or is a big deal, well you'd be stupid.

Power is a domain that only the strongest god in a pantheon has. In my old world, the different religions that had multiple gods in them each had only 1 god with the power domain, and it was always the leader of that group of gods.

I don't have any other gods to currently rule over, but I am also the only god in the entire world here as well as the sole manager of the leylines.

This is the most likely reason why I have the power domain despite not having other gods to rule over.

Now a fun little thing about the Power Domain is that it goes with just about any other domain and power I have.

Imagine I make a wind spear like I usually do, right? I channel a little power domain into that specific wind spear and let it loose.

Literally, an explosion that is not unlike the magical 'nukes' of the imperials from my old world.

I had to call everyone to my temple and explain to them that it was me and somehow explain how I did it without saying 'uh I got this new power and I was testing it'.

I had accidentally blurted out that I saw a bug and everyone just took it as me having seen a Titan Grimm and killing it in one hit since it was a mere 'bug'.

I don't know how they came to that conclusion, but I shall take it!

This world really is just filled with nonsense. It's ridiculous.

After patching up the giant crater I made I decided that I'd instead begin testing things in the deserts of Vacuo since they are so big and empty, that no one will comment anything about a giant crater until they see it.

I could tell that the Power Domain is just the 'hey this shit is now 100 times stronger' domain. Which is pretty good. I will take this.

Anyways, I have bypassed the mortal limit of 20 ever since I became a Major God. If I had to guess, a Major God had set the 20 limit which meant I had to become one myself to bypass it.

The Godly limit is going to be tough to break. It's either going to need an Elder god to break it or even maybe an Astral god.

Once I get a good amount of Domains I should become an Elder God. I have no idea how to become an Astral god, but if I had to guess it may just be by having the entire world worship me.

I mean, I don't know a single god in my old world who was believed in by every single resident of said world. Having the entire world's population as well as complete leyline control on top of however many domains I'm going to get should be enough for me to become an Astral God eventually.

That's something for the future though.

I've found out about my divine form which should basically be Aura on drugs, except I can't use it just yet.

I refuse to let go of the mortal part of me. I was born an Aarakocra, and when I die I will be an Aarakocra God.

The Aarakocra part is non-negotiable.

Sadly, the divine form is not compatible with my semi-mortal body, and the leylines are urging me to get rid of my mortal body.

My answer though…

…

DAGA KOTOWARU! ("I refuse!" according to my book of quotes.)

I am a perfect man, the leylines either have to adapt, or I have to figure out a solution to this problem somehow.

…

Well, this is awkward.

I don't know if I should be concerned that the 'system' is apparently listening to me at all times or be happy about finding the solution to my problem.

Also, I have not been sitting there knowing that there is something in my head that is apparently my 'system' and I have devolved a theory about what it could be.

Let's review what I know so far about the system from my old world.

The system is an ability that everyone in my old world had that allowed them information about themselves written in numbered forms as well as showing them their skills, proficiencies, abilities, race, class, and current level.

When did my system begin changing? When I started becoming a god.

What this could mean?

Well, no one in my old world was stupid enough to walk up to a god and ask 'hey, what level are you on the system?'

How gods interacted with the system was unknown to everyone back in my world.

Now, me becoming a Demi-God, then the system decides that this is a good time to introduce itself?

Coincidence?

I THINK NOT!

Gods may have a closer relation to the system than normal mortals.

What entity are gods closest to?

The world's spirit/will aka the thing that makes the leylines.

And what thing have I been getting close to quite recently as well as being the only one with any sort of contact with, not to mention I literally JUST asked for the leylines to find a way to deal with this and immediately got an answer?

I'm just saying, lots of coincidences and facts are adding up to make a pretty clear picture.

I hope to me that when I find out the truth this is at least somewhat close to it because if not I'm gonna be so embarrassed.

Anyways, I guess I have to get level 20 in the next couple of years so that I don't spontaneously combust because my mortal body cannot handle the pressure of a literal elder god.

Time to go back to what I was doing.

What was I doing?

Oh right, fixing up the rest of Menagerie and making sure no Atlas idiots try to do anything funny.

…

1 Month Time Skip, Menagerie, Aurous

[A/N: This is the last time I swear. Okay that's a lie I wanted to do 3 months in 3 chapters so I had to time skip this many times. Also, I can't exactly make a full year pass with me making a chapter for each day ;-;]

I just wanted a break. Is that too much to ask?

Apparently, the Grimm Queen thought so.

So here I am, looking at thousands of Grimm on their way to my land as me and my other bodies stand next to each other on air, awaiting the Grimm as I think about how I wanna do this without blowing everything up.

I feel Ghira call for me at my temple, so I send Horus to placate everyone and let them know that everything is alright.

I feel my scroll Buzz as I see that the person's Livestream I had watched which had shown them entering Menagerie is streaming again, this time showing the incoming Grimm.

I think about if letting the stream go is a good idea or not, considering that I may have to show a few cards here, but I decided to let it go.

Time to show them why you do not mess with a god.

I look towards the 3 biggest enemies. A Sea Feliong that is bigger than all of the ones I had ever fought and seen, a Queen Lancer with hundreds of Lancers around it, and a Grimm I had never seen before and had no records of it before.

…

Lvl. 22 | Titan Grimm |Sea Feliong

Lvl. 21 | Titan Grimm | Queen Lancer

Lvl. 25 | Elder Titan Grimm | Karibudis

I watch as the 'Karibudis' roars from the middle of the monsters and several Shark-like Grimm materialize around it as they float all around it, screeching menacingly.

I sigh, it seemed that the Queen of Grimm must have been extremely intimidated for her to do something like this.

In response to the incoming Grimm, a thunderstorm brews across the entirety of Menagerie, rumbling menacingly as thunder booms everywhere.

Time to thin the crowds.

…

Meanwhile, Temple of Horus, Horus (Aurous).

I watch as all Faunus gather around the temple, most of them panicking to reach there and others yelling loudly while praying for me to help them.

Ghira walks into the temple and bows to my familiar, before rising quickly and looking at me in panic.

"Lord Horus! What are we supposed to do with the incoming Grimm? Please help us, we cannot fight that many Grimm as well as all of those titans." He looks at my bird with desperation.

I decide to speak for myself instead of wasting time with all of the yes and no's nonsense with my bird. My mist gathers inside the temple as everyone quiets down to hear me.

"My children, please calm down. You are all safe. The woods will protect you from all of the weaker ones, and the storms shall protect you from the stronger ones." My Powerful voice sounds out, calming all of the Faunus as they all nod in relief, thinking that 'Lord Horus can deal with all of those Grimm no problem!'

"What about the titans, Lord Horus? Not to sound disrespectful, but you had told us that some of the Titan Grimm had siphoned power from you and used it to grow stronger on the walls. You said you wouldn't be able to deal with all of them if they come, what will happen now?" Ghira's voice sounds out as everyone looks towards the mist with hope.

"You are correct, Ghira. I said I would not be able to handle ALL of them if they came at once. Not only are all of those 3 some of the weaker Titans who did not siphon my energy, but they are only 3. I also said that I would not be able to deal with all of them quickly. It hurts my old heart hearing that you have such little faith in me." I end that speech with a deep laugh.

"I-I did not mean to offend you, Lord Horus. I am merely afraid for my people…" He quickly comments after hearing that.

"Do not worry, my child. I take no offense from that, I understand that these conditions would seem terrible for mortals, but this is merely an annoyance for me. Calm your hearts and steel your faith, I shall deal with this. Now, please excuse me as I go deal with this. Stay within my temple, you are safe in the heart of our city." I mention to all of them, leaving my familiar at the front of my statue so I can see if something's wrong.

Time to get back into the fight.

…

Once Horus returns from the Temple, Menagerie Skies, Aurous.

Time to get the show on the road.

I put Horus on the Lightning Zappy zappy duty, and Ouranos on the Wind spears duty as well as Radiant energy spell usage.

I have a plan to deal with this.

The first step for me is to thin out the herd while also blocking them from entering Menagerie.

How I'm going to do this? Quite simple.

Wall of Light, 6th level spell slot, channel Power Domain.

A blinding wall of light appears on the land of Menagerie, covering the half of Menagerie that is being attacked while also reaching all the way into the skies.

I watch as all of the weaker Grimm literally just disappear into nothing with a scream as soon as the Wall of Light appears, evaporating them into non-existence. The stronger Grimm that can resist combustion right away are instead attacked with rays of light from the wall, wind spears from Ouranos, and Lightning from Horus.

I keep the wall up using my Concentration as I myself enter the battle, killing all of the Grimm with my Light, Wind, Lightning, and pure might.

It feels exhilarating fighting in such a huge battle like this, downing enemies that are supposed to be higher level than me and way out of my reach.

The mistake they did was simple.

They challenged a god.

I think I hear the system telling me I leveled up at some point, but I do not care at the moment as I keep sending out rays of light and thunder at all of the Grimm. Lancers, Griffons, Nevermores, I think I even killed some small Wyverns at some point, though they weren't big enough for me to care.

I watch as the Sea Feilong lets out a breath of lightning towards my Wall of Light.

How idiotic, to use Lightning against the god of storms.

Ouranos speeds up to intercept the Lightning, not because it would actually do anything, instead, I will use it for myself.

I watch as I take the Lightning head-on, absorbing it completely, before letting out a super-charged Lightning Bolt towards all of the Grimm in front of Ouranos, powered by the Lightning I just absorbed as well as channeled with the Power Domain.

I notice that I've killed just about half of the Grimm so far, most of them being the extremely weak ones that were only there to be Canon Fodder.

I channel my Animal Domain and mix it with my Power domain and Wall of Light spell to make Animals of Light begin to appear from the wall and head straight towards the Grimm as they let out beams of light at the Grimm or just straight up Kamikaze their own bodies against some of the stronger Grimm.

The Karibudis somehow spot me, probably because I've been killing Grimm without caring about hiding myself since the Wall of Light should block anyone from seeing me and the Grimm don't really matter to me if they see me or not.

Though I made Aurous and Ouranos me stay invisible since the creator of the Grimm might be able to see through their eyes.

Karibudis opens its mouth, and a sphere of energy materializes inside of it as its 1 eye looks straight at me.

I smirk as I await the beam of energy, continuing to kill all nearby Grimm.

The Karibudis unleashes a powerful beam of energy at me, taking out all of the Grimm that was in front of it while also covering me completely.

The Energy Beam passes me and breaks through the Wall of Light, making everyone in the Temple see the Energy Beam and nervously begin whispering, wondering what that could be.

Seeing my bird casually sit there without worry made all of them shake their heads and clear any bad thoughts they had. If the bird is calm, everything should be in control, right?

They were of course, correct, as when the beam dies down, something appears.

It was ME! Dio!, wait, Aurous!, wait, Horus! Yes, there we go.

I had absorbed all of the energy in that attack since it was classified as 'fire' element, and thus I was able to absorb it using Absorb Elements, as well as my own Divine Power.

Smirking with smugness, I let out a warcry as I release all of the energy I absorbed straight towards Karibudis, making a hole straight in its chest as it's too big to try and dodge.

As I go to turn away and look towards the other titans, I notice in the corner of my vision that it was not falling.

It was regenerating, and at an extremely fast rate too.

In a matter of seconds, all of the damage I had just done to it had healed up completely.

I watch as Aurous fights the Queen Lancer, trying to stop it from controlling the Lancers efficiently, and are about to engage the Karibudis again, before I feel something.

Ever since Menagerie became my domain, I could feel everything that leaves and enters my domain.

I could feel something teleporting to my temple, a Grimm to be specific.

It wasn't a strong Grimm, not titan level at least, but if I did not know if something entered my land just then, it may have actually been able to kill my people while I was fighting here.

I send out Ouranos to stop it, as I watch myself practically teleport to the Temple.

In the Temple, a humanoid Grimm suddenly begins to crawl out of the ground, causing everyone to start screaming. When suddenly, it was completely obliterated by a beam of light.

Mist gathers inside of the temple as Ouranos me begins speaking.

"Oops, I apologize about that my children. I was not aware of a Grimm that could teleport and thus forgot to make anti-teleportation wards. Oopsies. Do not worry though, I would not let you all get hurt from something so silly as my oversight."

Ouranos me was being an absolute idiot talking like that, but you can't blame me, I was in a high-pressure situation and wanted to say something to calm everyone quickly before returning to the battle. But it seems everyone did not mind it and just began breathing in relief while praising 'Lord Horus' for saving them so quickly.

Ouranos me returns to me as I curse myself for not at least looking at the name of the Species of Grimm that was trying to pull a fast one on me.

I make an analysis about the amount of Grimm left, seeing that all of the small fry are gone and all that is left is the big 3 Titans, as well as the somewhat strong Grimm with levels 15+.

It's time to take the final step of my plan.

As I watch all of the remaining Grimm huddles together, probably thinking they'd have a better chance when grouped up, I and my bodies gather together.

Letting down the Wall of Light to let the people see this next part, I make sure Ouranos and Aurous are invisible, before making a huge hole in my Thunderstorm as the moon appears.

Getting into position, I cast Moonbeam 3 times, one with each body, all 3 of them being boosted by my Sky and Power domain.

Looking into the sky, everyone can see 3 dots of light forming a triangle.

Suddenly, those 3 'dots' shoot forward, and 3 ginormous beams of Moonlight engulf the sky, moving at impossible speeds as they envelop every single remaining Grimm in blinding Light, the sounds of all of the remaining Grimm screeching in pain and anguish sounding out as they get reduced to absolutely nothing by the moonlight.

The Moonbeams slowly recede after a few minutes, slowly returning to the sky as the night quiets down. Not a single sound could be heard in all of Menagerie.

The people stare at the last remaining thing in the sky besides the moon, a shadow of a figure standing in front of the moon, resembling the statue of Horus, with the head of an Eagle, talons for hands, and two wings glowing like the moon on each side of the God.

The god looks down at the people, before simply disappearing into motes of moonlight.

The storm recedes all around Menagerie, returning to a clear Sky with the broken moon as the only thing left in the sky.
A reminder, and a warning.

God, I am so fucking cool.

Yayyyyyyyy Chapter 9! I went a little extra today and went for 6.7k words so that I can round the story to a nice 40k. This chapter was just full of action, wasn't it? My next chapter I believe will be an interlude unless I decide to change something.

Anyways, I wanna thank some reviews real quick. By the way, I got a lot of them recently which is pretty exciting for me!

Thank you, Ben, for your review. English is actually my 2nd language, not not my second language, but I try!

Thank you, ThanoSstinks, for your review. Yes, I try to make Aurous a distinct character with relatable qualities to other fun MCs, while also having some distinctions that can distinguish him from the crowd. Also, the reason it said the 'story was deleted' was probably because I had made a mistake in that chapter and had removed it shortly after I had posted it, then posted it again.

Lastly, Thank you, Flashfyre12, for your review. I do like Aurous's arrogant and prideful personality as well. It's not one that looks down on everyone, instead, it only seems to be there for Aurous to praise and compliment himself.

I hope you guys enjoyed today's chapter and if you have any thoughts please be sure to write a review and share them.

See you all later. Cowabunga.
