I take a deep breath as I look over Menagerie one last time.
Okay, I'm literally just being dramatic right now. I legitimately have a different body I can use to look at Menagerie at any time, but leave me alone okay?
I've spent the last 3 months on this continent and about 90% of my time in this world.
This basically feels like my home. My only home in this world.
That may feel a little silly, but I undeniably got attached to this place so quickly. I have everything I have ever wanted here.
Which isn't really much other than a lot of followers and a kingdom that worships me. Anything else would probably just be fish and I can get that at any time.
I smack myself in the face to get my head back on track as I look over Menagerie.
I had leveled up 6 times after that battle. Probably because I had killed thousands of Grimm with most of them being at least CR 10.
If the EXP rate for Grimm was not reduced to shit I would probably be level 30 by now.
I mean, five thousand CR 10 monsters should give about 30 million EXP, which is honestly so ridiculous. Now, taking into account the bigger monsters with higher CRs and giving more EXP? That could've boosted me to level 40 even!
I'm thinking of just saying fuck it and using divine intervention to remove the XP debuff from the world, but not only am I 99% sure that wouldn't work since I'd have to fundamentally change every single existing Grimm on an almost atomic level and make them real monsters instead of magical constructs (which is the reason they give reduced EXP, they are not living creatures but instead simply magic constructs.) which would lead to an even bigger disaster since Grimm would leave bodies behind now instead of releasing magic into the atmosphere after dying.
Speaking of leaving magic in the atmosphere, I killed 3 titans in my land at Menagerie.
Killing a single titan is usually a big deal because anywhere the titan dies giant dust mines begin appearing since the Leylines get a bunch of magic back and they are already overflowing so they let just dust grow more in the location that the Titan died.
So, what do we get when we get a city barely not growing dust in its streets and the biggest influx of energy the leylines have ever experienced in their existence?
A very passive 'use this energy for something or I will fuck you up' message from the leylines.
Which was noted, and I decided to say 'hey lemme absorb all of the magic into my domains and power pls' and it was like '! nevermind I just thought of something I'm gonna use this for something else goodbye :D'.
As you can guess, we were obviously not texting, we were more talking using feelings and conceptual understanding, but this is basically what we were saying.
So anyways, the leylines hopefully should not start growing dust in my country streets.
Wait, I just realized. I could just grow dust excessively in a place I don't like then set it all off and boom it's gone.
Interesting.
Menagerie me smacks me on my head as I realize I've zoned out again. Thanking myself, I nod to Horus before talking off to Mistral!
Time to check out this place and see how things are going here.
…
…
Things are not going well here.
I walk through the crowd with deadpanning eyes and stop yet another pickpocket from free-real estating my bag of holding, something that would make them the richest person on earth the second they get their hands on it.
The poor areas of Mistral are pathetic. Gangs, Criminal Families, Assassin guilds, trafficking circles, everything you could think of in a black market is here.
That's the criminal activity though, civilians here are doing pretty badly. Villages are scattered around everywhere with minimal protection other than Huntsmen and Huntresses who offer their services in exchange for money. 90% of the time they are extorting the villages with higher prices to take advantage of their desperation.
Whoever is running this country is an absolute fucking idiot.
Oh well, I guess I'll just take advantage of it.
Sending Ouranos out, I mentally think about what that version of me will be doing.
First of all, I will be taking down the Crime families and the black market.
Now, I'm no hero, usually, I'd be all for keeping a Black market since it's a vital part of most worlds for some people.
But in this world, there is literally no need for it. All it does is be used by bandits and thieves to steal from people, assassinate competition, and traffick slaves and stuff that is terrible and unnecessary. It does not contribute at all to society, which makes it unnecessary in my eyes and thus will be removed.
It's not like when I'm done removing the black parts of humanity that the world would be all sunshine and rainbows. Grimm still exist, and thus the world will never only be good.
Knowing that, I'm fine with removing this unnecessary black spot of humanity.
The second thing Ouranos will be doing is going to villages and introducing them to my religion as well as offering them protection as long as they worship me, with no other price.
I will be using my authority to build small temples in their villages to act as beacons, protecting them from Grimm while also letting me have a clearer vision of the world. Like a satellite from the Imperials in my world.
I can also build those temples without using my major miracles and divine interventions with my authority now that I'm a Major God. It's kind of like using a Minor Miracle, it's just using my own power to do it instead of a limited point in my power that recharges with time.
Actually, that makes no fucking sense but that's the way I understand it and it works so I'm gonna quit trying to understand shit I don't understand.
Anyways, I will be going to eavesdrop on this Lionheart coward that I've heard about who is the headmaster of Haven academy. I wish to find out how huntsmen have been dying out, so I'm going to look at the problem all the way from the root, the headmaster.
Casting invisibility after entering an alleyway, I prepare to leave before I see a couple of seconds later a few shady guys entering and looking confused as they look around them.
"Where the hell did that guy go? He looked like a fine paycheck and I don't wanna miss out on that." The leader of the guy spoke as he surveyed the alleyway.
"Oh don't worry, you won't." My voice speaks out from behind all of them as they turn around to see nothing.
"Or actually, you will be missing out on a lot. It's the world that's not gonna miss you." I say with a laugh as these guys tense and look around nervously.
I open the earth under them as they all scream before the ground swallows them whole and closes up.
"Now, to the headmaster!" I say to myself as I begin flying towards his office.
The alleyway is completely empty, and not a single sign of anything happening here is present.
…
…
As I watch the headmaster tell a squad of huntsmen their mission, I sigh as I see him stutter everything he's saying.
Magically, no one comments about how the seemingly capable headmaster keeps stuttering every few seconds. I even used detect thoughts on them and none of them are even thinking about it!
Dumbasses. Dumbasses everywhere.
Once the team is briefed, I decide to follow them.
As they board their bullhead and fly away, I fly above them in the sky and watch them all the way until they reach their destination and jump out of the bullhead.
I continue watching them with boredom as they move through the forest, nearing this random mountain-side that has absolutely no significance to the kingdom at all and they for some reason have a mission to investigate this area.
Do these guys not have a brain? Why are they investigating this completely random area that is so far away from civilization and is the perfect area for a murder?
I believe I understand what's going on already. Let me continue watching these guys for a bit before I return to that headmaster and have a few words with his brain.
The squad of huntsmen continue for a while before they are met with a clearing with a campfire in the middle of it as well as two rocks with two large hooded figures sitting on them.
The huntsmen tense and look at the sitting figures while slowly approaching.
"Hey, what are you all doing here so far away from any villages?" One of them, the leader, calls out to the sitting figures.
"Oh! They're finally here! Yes! I was getting so bored with no one to fight!" One of the figures abruptly stands up and with a concealed face grins maniacally at the group of huntsmen.
"Don't forget our mission, you idiot. We still have a couple more squads to deal with after this." The other figure said in a no-nonsense tone.
"Yeah yeah whatever, these guys seem like wimps anyways. I'll just take em out and hope the next guys are stronger." He explodes in a fit of maniacal laughter as a scorpion tail appears from behind him.
Lvl. 15 | Scorpion Faunus | Tyrian Callows
Maniac
Lvl. 14 | Human | Hazel Rainart
Vengeful Siscon
A faunus? Well shit, this became personal.
Before Tyrian could do anything to the huntsmen, they all fall to the ground unconscious, making Hazel and Tyrian look at each other in confusion.
"Did they just fall unconscious in fear? I mean, they looked like wimps but I didn't they think actually were wimps." Tyrian said once again in a fit of maniacal laughter as he began moving towards the bodies of the huntsmen to finish them off.
But before he could, he face-planted into the ground.
Instead of his face staying stuck to the ground though, it rolls around a couple times. In those few seconds, he saw a very weird scene.
His body was… in front of him? Without a head and slowly falling towards him.
Oh, he's dead. Damn…
Hazel looked at the scene with a disturbed face and tensed muscles.
"W-who's there? Show yourself!" He yells out, though deep inside of him he knows that he has no chance.
He knew that Tyrian was way stronger than him, if he died that fast without a chance to fight back, then Hazel had no chance of making it out alive.
He didn't want to die yet though, he hasn't killed Ozpin for killing his sister yet.
"Don't worry, you won't die yet. I still need to know a couple things from your head first. Prepare to get 'mind-raped' as Alasto would say it." I speak out for the first time, beginning to look through his mind as his pain-filled screams fill the background.
Oh well, I'll just have to silence him if he gets too loud or annoying. I need some information on what's happening though.
Let's see what we have here.
…
…
As I sit on the desk of the headmaster, I watch as he shakingly looks at a weird Grimm I've never seen before.
The Grimm then shows an image, no, it's a recording. Inside it, an interesting woman appears. She has deathly pale skin, with jet black sclerae in her eyes and glowing crimson irises that are shining brightly at the moment. She has pale white hair that is styled with six offshoots to look kind of like a spider and is wearing a long, short-sleeved black robe.
"Ah, Lionheart. To what do I owe the pleasure of you contacting me? It better be something important." Her elegant voice sounds out, annoyance and irritation clearly present in it, but Lionheart either does not notice it or is already so scared that you cannot add to his fear.
"I-I'm here to report my current progress to you, L-lady Salem. I just sent out another couple of squads of huntsmen towards the designated location you had told m-me to send them to." Lionheart speaks out slowly, making the woman breathe out in irritation.
"And why is that so important that you'd contact me to tell me about it instead of reporting it during the meeting?" She says with a dangerous gleam in her eye that makes Lionheart shiver in fear.
"W-well you see, one of the first squads I sent had contacted me back instead of dying like plann-" Whatever else he was about to say was interrupted by a spear made of wind going through his heart, as Lionheart's eyes widened.
"Enough out of your stuttering bullshit, coward." I mention in my Ouranos body as I walk past him and look at the Grimm who is being held in place by my wind.
Lvl. 5 | Grimm | The Seer
"So, you're the so-called Queen of Grimm, huh?" I mention as I look at her.
Lvl. 20 | Grimmified Human | Salem
The Girl in Tower, The Witch of the Grimm.
Interesting, 2 titles. Perhaps something only level 20s get?
"I am. You are another of Ozma's pawns I assume?" She bites back with a smirk.
"You would be incorrect, I do not serve Ozma." I raise an eyebrow as I extend my wings behind me, causing Salem to show a shocked face.
She quickly composes herself before smirking once again, this time with a different intention.
"So, a champion of Horus then? A pawn of a god. Did they promise you power, riches, and women, perhaps?" She attempts to goad something out of me, sadly, she's not going to accomplish anything with that since I am literally Horus himself.
"Not really, but if you want to believe that then go ahead. Any chance you can switch the control of the Grimm to me?" I mention with a smirk, watching her face frown when I don't react even slightly and then once again grow surprised at my request.
"Ah yes, sure, here, let me switch control to you real quick." She deadpans towards me as she makes a show of taking something out of her chest and holding it in her hand.
"I'm waiting." I deadpan back.
We both stare at each other for a few seconds, before we let out a few chuckles with a smile.
"So uh, why the Grimm?" I ask as she raises an eyebrow.
"I thought your god would tell you everything you would need to know about me and Ozma." She smirks at me.
"Nah, Big H don't work that way. Something about finding out things yourself building character and dramatic build-ups." I play along as if I'm not Horus himself, watching her face grow shocked.
"You call your god something as blasphemous as Big H? How have you not been smitten where you stand you fool?" She almost screams with a flabbergasted face.
"Nah Big H is chill, as long as you don't start calling him something insulting or Little H he's fine with whatever. Anyways, you wanna answer the question though?" I answer her question before restating mine.
"I'll answer it if you answer a question of mine as well." She replies as she puts a hand to her chin.
"Alright, no lying, scout's honor and all that." Something Alasto had told me once I had established myself as the party's scout was scout's honor, which was the highest form of promise according to him.
She raises an eyebrow at that but doesn't comment.
"I'll ask first, why do you want control of the Grimm?"
"Easy, they're a good way to keep progress going in this world now that Big H has taken it as his domain. I'll basically replace you as the villain as a group of 'heroes' comes and defeats me every few centuries and I reform and 'try' and destroy the world again." I had no qualms about telling her this plan. Who's gonna believe her if she said this? 'Oh hey guys I'm the controller of the Grimm also your god Horus said he wanted to control the Grimm so that it can endlessly exist so that you guys don't stagnate also he thinks ur stupid lol'.
Her eyes continue raising upward until the very end before a smile appears on her face.
"A good plan indeed, your god is smart for taking advantage of this world's inhabitants' stupidity. Their brains are so tiny that this plan is practically fool-proof." Now it's my turn to raise my eyebrows.
"You can also tell that this world's people are fucking dumbasses?" She holds in a snort, before huffing.
"Obviously. These people are merely a shell of the people back in the old days. Some of us were wizards, some of us sorcerers, others magicians of all kinds. These days a person could hear that clouds are made out of cotton candy and they'd just nod and believe it." I snorted at that, she's not wrong though.
"Well, it's your turn to answer the question. Why the whole destroy the world thing?" I bring her attention back to her question.
She seems to think for a few seconds, before eventually answering.
"I wish to gather the four relics and summon the brother gods back to this world so that they can see its terrible state and destroy it." She calmly replies without showing a single facial change.
Not that I would've noticed if there was one because HOLYYYYYYYY SHIT WHAT THE HELL IS THIS NUKE SHE JUST DROPPED.
Okay so, 4 relics, gathering them together summons the now gone brother gods, they said they'd destroy the world if they came back and saw it in a bad state apparently?
"And how are you going to do that exactly?" I calmly ask, not showing any facial changes myself. This is the big bad evil gu- girl. I can't show anything.
"One question only sweetie. If you want, we could do another question each and I'll answer." She smirks as she crosses her arms under her chest.
I roll my eyes before nodding.
"Fine, you answer first this time though." I look pointedly at her.
"Very well, I am working on gathering the power of all the maidens and opening the gates under each academy. Currently, my subordinate is chasing the Fall Maiden so that we can get the Relic of Choice. After that, we will find the Spring Maiden and use her to get the Relic of Knowledge. Once we get the Relic of Knowledge, the Winter maiden in Atlas will be used to get us the Relic of Creation. Lastly, the Summer Maiden will get us the Relic of Destruction in Vacuo." I see. I can guess what each of those do. The Relic of Choice shows the future or at least a few versions of it. The Relic of Knowledge grants you knowledge of the Past. The Relic of Creation can create stuff..? The Relic of Destruction can destroy stuff.
"Can't the Relic of Destruction just be used to destroy you?" I ask with a raised eyebrow, as Salem opens her eyes in realization, before seeming to remember something.
"No. Lionheart had told me that Ozma had used the Relic of Knowledge to ask if there's a way to destroy me, but it said that it was impossible. Which means the Relic of Destruction can't be used on me." She sounds oddly disappointed at that, which she realizes herself as she widens her eyes and looks up at me.
"... You want to die." It wasn't a question, it was a statement. An embarrassing one at that considering her pale face grows a blush somehow.
"Yes… It's my turn to ask a question. Is your god capable of removing curses placed by another god?" She asks me as she turns away from the Seer.
Hearing curses, I look at her soul as I see a shit ton of darkness, oddly liquid by the way, and spot something deep inside of her.
"Holy Horus your immortality is a curse?" I exclaim in surprise as I stare at her curse.
"You can see that from all the way there?" She raises an eye in surprise as she looks at me in confusion.
"Lady, I could kill you from here if I wanted to. As a magic user, ever heard of the spell Wish?" I ask her absent-mindedly as I continue staring at her curse, trying to learn everything about it so I could maybe replicate it later.
"Wish…? No, I am not aware of any field of magic with a spell of that name." She comments as her eyebrows furrow.
"Yeah, it's basically just as the name suggests. I wish for something and it happens, no questions asked." I answer with a smirk as I watch her face grow more shocked than she has done in this entire conversation.
"Anything? Could you even kill a god with it?" She asks excitedly, and I quirk an eyebrow at her.
"Oh, no no not Lord Horus. He has not wronged me as the brothers did." She comments quickly, with me noting the 'Lord Horus' now. Damn, both the Light and Dark sides now respect me. Feels good.
"Well to answer your question, it's probably not strong enough to just kill them, but I could probably use it to throw them in the future when the world ends. If they are any good at Time-Space they might be able to escape, but that's a big what-if."
She stops and begins thinking for a bit, leaving me there to just stare at her awkwardly, before she snaps her head back towards me a few minutes later.
"I will agree to hand over the control of the Grimm to you on a couple conditions." She states firmly, surprising me that she's even considering it, but I guess she really wants to die.
"I can't say yes or no to them without checking with the boss but I can hear you out." I continue playing the 'I'm not Horus himself card.'
She nods, before taking a deep breath and listing out her conditions.
"First, you will remove my curse and allow me to die peacefully. Second, if the Brother Gods ever return to Remnant, you will kill them. Third, I want to claw Ozma's face out. If you fulfill all of these conditions, I'll hand over the control of the Grimm to you."
I make a show of thinking for a bit when I'm actually laughing alongside my other 2 bodies, Aurous making a crowd he's next to extremely confused, and Horus making the Faunus begin to cheer because they heard 'Lord Horus's laugh. He is pleased!' much to my anguish.
"First of all, you will give control to the Grimm to me as well as teach me how to make new Grimm for Diversity's sake. I already know you don't have control of all of the Titans, so this is basically repayment for that." I pointedly look at her as she looks away with a blush, probably embarrassed at being caught. "Second of all, I want you to remain for a while as the first 'evil Grimm lady that heroes defeat!' and once you're defeated I will take you away and do my conditions." I say, making her raise her eyebrows.
"Why?" She asks with confusion.
"Too many people know about you, if a random evil Grimm leader appears out of nowhere, too many questions would be asked." I explain easily, making her eyes widen in realization.
"That makes sense, Ozma would surely find something amiss. A fool that he is, he still retains the wisdom of old times." She nods her head. "What else?"
"Third, the best I could do is remove his reincarnating curse and throw you in a room with him with no way out and him having no weapons. You can release your pent-up anger on him as much as you want." By the way, she's grinning evilly, I'm sure she has no problem with this.
"I can agree to these terms. Are you sure your god does not mind this deal?" She asks with an evil smile, probably thinking about what she will do to poor Ozman. Oh well. Never liked those 'greater good' types.
With a quick Teleport and a couple minor miracles to improve my luck, I appear behind her in the Evernight castle, as she seemingly squints her eyes at the Seer, who begins freaking out as he sees me behind her.
"If he had a problem with it, he would've spoken up by now. Now, about those Grimm creation and control lessons?" I comment from behind her as she jumps in surprise and whirls around, looking at me in shock.
Her face slowly turns into a deadpan.
"I guess you weren't kidding when you said you could kill me even from all the way over there." She wryly points out, dismissing both of the Seers as I'm face to face with her now.
"Nope. It's as easy as taking candy from a child." I comment with a grin as she turns to glare at me.
"You're in my domain, you know? Are you not afraid of me simply swarming you with endless Grimm?" She says as she smirks and a Beowulf appears from the ground near her.
A Beowulf that is immediately impaled by a bolt of light, which can be traced back to me deadpanning towards Salem with my finger radiating light.
"Point taken. Welcome to Evernight castle, make yourself comfortable." She turn away from me quickly, looking towards a nearby painting to hide her embarrassment at being shown up so easily.
"Actually I'm right now dedicating my time to expanding Horus's faith in Mistral, I'll probably hop in every… night… Not that night really means anything here but whatever." I comment idly as I look around the castle, noting the permanent darkness outside of the castle.
"Expanding Horus's faith? Is he not content with the Faunus?" She raises her eyebrows as she turns to me.
"Naw bro I told you that he decided this entire world is now his domain. That includes the humans too. He's already the god of the Faunus and Animals, and is on his way to taking the Nature domain, all he needs is Humans and Grimm and he'd basically be the god of the entire world." I speak in a very Alasto way, as to distinguish myself from the normal up-tight Aurous and Ancient Horus. Wouldn't want to make any connection.
"You can just… Get new domains?" She furrows her eyes with confusion.
"The leylines are desperate, they saw a new god and now are just throwing all of the domains at him. He got the Moon domain from that invasion you had tried." I smirk at her at the reminder of the failed invasion.
"That was so ridiculous. A stain on my invasions in all of history. Not a single casualty? How?" She huffs angrily as she complains.
"Your first mistake was challenging a god, your second one was choosing Horus as the god you challenge." I smirk at her as she glares at me.
"Oh excuuuuse me that a god had just decided to appear randomly after millennia of the absence of gods, then decides to make a kingdom out of an oppressed race with never seen before material that could be a threat to my cause. What was I supposed to do, ignore it? Not to mention, how was I supposed to know that this was actually a god and not just the Faunus having the entire world AND it's mother's luck." She continues huffing and puffing angrily as she glares at me.
"I mean, the Faunus do have a lot of luck not going to lie." I nod, thinking about how they were lucky enough to have a continent named Menagerie, which strung my heartstrings enough for me to grace them with my godlihood and majesty.
"You refer to the Faunus as if you are not one of them." She points out with a quirked eyebrow.
"Yes, baby I'm not even here, I'm a hallucination." I comment with a smirk as I cast Invisibility and disappear from her sight.
Thank you my book of quotes. You are my best friend.
She continues glaring at where I was before turning invisible, before exhaling and attempting to find me by summoning a black whip and slashing through the air with it everywhere.
"Oop, that was close. Just a little to the right. You're almost there. No, you turned around from where I was that was a hallucination of me saying something I'm not behind you. Well, I am now but I wasn't earlier. You're almost there." I keep taunting her as she grows angrier and angrier in her swings, almost becoming red in anger, or is it embarrassment perhaps? She has not had interaction with someone in an equal standing in so long that when someone comes and begins playing with her as if she was a kid, she becomes embarrassed.
"Whatever! Just remove your invisibility and follow me already." She huffs as she unsummons her whip and begins leaving the room, marching aggressively.
Oh well, Grimm lessons time.
…
…
Not much to say about this chapter. Mostly just a transition chapter as well as Salem time. So anyway, the entire timeline of RWBY is basically trashed and fucked, only being artificial now since Aurous is gonna know 99% of the plans happening.
In other news, it's review time.
Thank you, BIRD0FHERMES, for your review. I'm not sure yet. Something like that is usually frowned upon or disliked by readers. Also Aurous probably will have demigod children eventually, but I'm like 99% sure that it's not gonna be happening before I end the fanfic, the other 1% being me making it a funny Omake or something.
Thank you again, Ben, for your review. Thanks for the compliment and no problem.
That's all folks. Make sure to write a review if you have any thoughts to share, and favorite and follow or something to be updated.
…
See you all later.
