Chapter 1
Well well, at this point you know the drill, I pop up randomly with an idea only to be never heard from again until I come up with another story idea or decide to finally release a chapter 2 for something, anyway enjoy while it lasts
Defeat
Now he knew how it tasted like, the few remaining Ex Machinas had managed to bring him down, they had his respect just like the being that led him to his defeat...Riku Dola...he played the Old Deus like a fiddle...well he played everyone like that. The human even gave the Suniaster to a new God and so the war was over.
But then...
Why was he still thinking? Why was he capable to form thoughts in this endless blackness? Why was the war still powering him? Why was war...this powerful now that it had just ended...?
Suddenly his mind was filled with flashes answering his questions, he saw a conflict similar to the Great War but he didn't recognize any race participating in it except for the dragons then he saw the end of it and thought that it was good as it lasted but then...Immanity started killing each other over control, faith, greed and more and more. He saw civilizations clashing against each other first with sticks and rocks then with swords made of steel then with guns and deadly machines and then he saw them wiping out cities with bombs...and a single thought crossed his mind
'Damn...Immanity isn't so bad after all'
They were nowhere near close to his flugels but their destructive nature didn't fail to impress him especially when he saw the same machinations used against him being applied and wider scale
He laughed as he watched the endless conflicts unfold before his eyes, humans were truly ingenious when it came to killing each other! He then saw the conflicts hidden by the humans eyes and was contempt...it was all so familiar, flugel-like creatures fighting other creatures with bat wings launching ancient spells at each other or using powerful tool of destruction. He liked it but it lacked...variety now that he had witnessed humans killing each other in such ingenious ways.
"One last push ma'am it's almost out!" a male voice echoed across the darkness soon followed by the screams of a woman
He was confused by them and was blinded by a sudden light, he then felt his body being handled by someone
"It's a boy!" a human with a mask wearing a strange attire said "Nice and Healthy!"
"I want to see him" a woman clearly in pain said as the man carefully handed her the baby over which she grabbed him and smiled "His name is..."
He understood the situation he was in and his amusement only grew even more "My name is..."
"Artosh" She breathed out smiling
Years later
'Annoying' Artosh thought as he moved his child body around
8 years had passed since his rebirth into this world and so far things have been...interesting. In this world Immanity was called Humanity which sounded more correct, they were the predominant species of them all having fully occupied all the land of their planet which was called Earth. Thanks to their collective endeavors into going to war against each other, he was able to regain his powers but as for now he was...experiencing his new life which was rather mundane compared to his previous one or the ones of more unlucky humans, he could go away at any moment but he didn't and that was simple...he wanted to live like a human so that he could become perfect, with his power as the strongest Old Deus and the tactical mind of a human, he would become a true God.
There was only one thing bothering him...the dragon that had been following him since he was given birth. She would come out suddenly and begone a moment later, he probably guess she had some matter to look into.
It chose to appear as a cute young girl with long black hair down to her hips and grey eyes. Her ears differ from a normal human's since they reminded him of the elves, although her long black hair makes this feature difficult to notice. Her dark grey eyes have reptilian slitted pupils giving away her true nature.
Her name was Ophis and she was the first supernatural being to have found him and warned him that his presence probably alerted someone, thanks to that he used his powers to keep himself hidden from preying eyes
Of course only he was able to see her but it didn't annoy him less especially since she always had the same request
"Help me beat the Great Red" She said as she stood in front of the TV that the Old Deus was watching because of the world war I documentary
"No" he replied mentally of course as he moved his head to see the TV
She moved "Help me get the Dimensional Gap back"
"You are the dragon of infinity, go get it back" he replied moving once again
"Can't do" she replied "We are evenly matched"
"Not my problem" he replied
"If I destroy humanity?" she replied dead serious
"You would spark a new great war and I will become unstoppable even more than you, at that point I would destroy the gap out of spite" he replied casually causing Ophis to look at him with an emotionless look
Suddenly the volume of the TV spiked immensely letting the sounds of the documentary reached Artosh's mother ears and so...
"Oh my gosh who left the TV on with something so violent?!" the woman said picking up the remote and switching channels to one full of cartoons
"Bitch" Artosh said looking at Ophis who had a small smirk on her face
Years later
Finally, Artosh had reached an age where he could be as free as he wanted not that he wasn't before but now he didn't need his human parents to watch over him which was great. He had already grown taller than his parents, his physique was muscular and he grew up some nice short jet black hair that went really well with his golden eyes, he couldn't help but use his powers to boost his growth significantly since he really liked his old body although he didn't make himself absurdly tall and muscular like back then. He had spent all these years living as a human...the best human possible, he excelled at school and at sports so much he won a scholarship at Kuoh Academy which was the most prestigious high school of his city.
He opened his eyes and raised himself from the bed, since he was born whenever he went to sleep he would just shift his gaze to the various conflicts around the world...it was always a nice watch. He removed his sheets only to find Ophis laying next to him
"No" he immediately said before she could speak
She looked annoyed "You didn't know what I was asking"
"No, I will not help you fight the Great Red, take back the dimension gap and I will not join your Khaos Brigade"
"Why not?" she asked
"Because I will mot get bossed around and many other things" he said getting up and putting on his uniform "And this will not change, not today, not tomorrow, not any time soon or in the distant future"
He looked back and Ophis had disappeared "Finally, some peace" he said knowing full well that she would be back.
He grabbed his schoolbag and headed downstairs where his parents were having breakfast
"Good Morning Artosh! I packed you the breakfast" she said gesturing a small bag at the edge of the table
"Thank you mother" He said calmly grabbing the bag "I'm going to school then"
"You know...you could have breakfast with us you know?" his father said as he sat the table
"Let the boy do his thing, we should be thankful to have a son so diligent and respectful!" The mother said smiling at him "See you after school"
The father sighed "I am not complaining I am just saying he could spend more time with us in the morning!"
Artosh chose to not hang around any longer since he knew that another fight was about to begin between his progenitors. The Old Deus was thankful to them for giving birth to him in this world and all the knowledge he got studying their behavior and decision making...the only thing that bothered him a bit were the last name he got his father ...Artosh Rikumaru perhaps the universe wanted to mock him a bit more giving his that last name.
He reached his school and went in, it was quite early in the morning and so not many people were there. He walked to his usual spot which was a bench under a tree and sat down, he opened his breakfast bag and started digging in as he browsed through military websites and shooting range videos on his phone and listening through those with his headphones, it was probably one of his favorite moments of the day.
Time passed and more students started getting to school although he didn't care much, he usually didn't turn his social persona this early. Suddenly he was approached by the current president of the student council, Sona Shitori, followed by her usual companions.
He removed his headphones and looked up to her from his bench mentally sighing as he laid eyes upon her "President Shitori, Good Morning"
Sona slightly nodded her head at him to greet him "Good Morning, Class Representative Rikumaru"
During these years he had taken the role of class representative and had wished to even be President of the Student Council of the school...but unfortunately that wasn't possible, that was because all the members of the student council were...devils one of the other races that hide from humanity and from he had understood joining the council means joining them and he wasn't interested in the slightest.
"How can I help the Student Council today?" He asked smiling at her
"Sorry for interrupting you. We are preparing for some things for the next festival and we want to know what is your class is going to do, if you would be so kind by starting to gather your classmates' votes before the next festival we would be really grateful since we need to give a budget to each class"
"I'll leave the results of the voting at your desk by the end of the day" He replied calmly
"There is no need to, there's plenty of time before the festival" Sona retorted
"More time to focus on preparing what we're going to do, we have to live up the expectations of the previous years" He replied calmly "Also if we file up our budget requirements fist we'll get nicer stuff than the others"
Sona adjusted her glasses "We can't rent a tank"
Artosh chuckled "I know I know I was joking that time, President"
"Good grief...anyway, thank you for your time" She replied turning around and starting to walk towards the entrance of the school
Artosh mentally sighed being the reliable class representative with the devils was annoying but he had to, he wasn't going to reveal himself just yet, so in the meantime he will make his human classmates work like obedient ants.
"Ah one last thing" Sona said stopping her tracks "The perverted trio was caught peeping into the girl's changing room, Do you want to deal with them yourself or should I do it?"
Artosh rolled his eyes and got "They are in my class, I'll deal with them accordingly"
Sona gave him a nod and went out of his field of view. The Old Deus got up and walked inside the classroom making sure that things were in order and after a while the bell rang signaling the beginning of the school session. The students poured in and Artosh checked each and every one of them until he stopped the perverted trio
"Ah? What's up now?!" one of them sighed, his name was Issei Hyodou.
"I know what you did this morning" Artosh said causing the three to pale "As punishment for your behavior you'll clean the classroom for the rest of the week and..." with a swift movement of his hand he took out of their backpacks several objects of pornographic nature which included magazines and DVDs "This will come with me and be given to the teachers, they will decide whether return them or throw them into the school's incinerator"
"Noooooo!" All of three of them shouted trying to recover their precious treasures only to be easily dodged by Artosh
"Yeah teach 'em Artosh!" some of the girls of the class said
"I'll be off to the teachers' room to hand these things in, if the professor comes in before my return can you tell him what happened, Kiba?" Artosh said looking at the blond young man in the first row of desk
Kiba nodded "It will be done Artosh"
With that Artosh left the classroom headed to the teachers' room, he occasionally threw a glance at the seized material only to sigh, he understood why humans were so fixated on sensuality and similar things after all it was needed to the creations of new generations but the perverted trio was a nuisance both for the school and for him. He remembered being sat down from his human father to have 'the talk' which wasn't really needed since he already knew that stuff and not because of his godly knowledge but because with the internet installed in every phone it's way too easy to come across those things, he even recalled when Ophis tried to bribe him with her body to get him to join the Khaos brigade.
He entered the teachers' room causing the various adults to look at him
"Yes?" one of them asked
"I have seized a bunch of inappropriate objects in my class...always the same people" He said calmly handing them the various objects
The teacher sighed "Those three...always at it, good thing we have people like you and Kiba"
Artosh nodded "I have to go, I don't want to be late for class"
"Oh right sorry, thank you for your service, you can go"
With that Artosh went back from his classroom and the day continued as normal, between the various subjects he made his classmates vote for what to do at the festival, of course the proposal to make a strip club filed in by the perverted trio was ignored and in the end it was decided to do fantasy play in the school's theatre.
It was late in the afternoon when Artosh entered the Student Council's room and wasn't surprised to see all the members there.
"Don't tell me you are already filing in your class decision for the festival" Sona said raising an eyebrow
"In fact, I am" He said calmly placing the piece of paper on her desk
She took a quick look at it and noted a few things "You've already listed an estimated budget needed for this play along with a series of low-cost tailors...you know that's our job right?"
"It was just a suggestion more than anything" Artosh replied calmly
"I know I asked you this before but I'll ask again, do you want to be part of the Student Council?" She replied narrowing her eyes
"No, I am already busy enough like this" He replied calmly walking towards the exit, he could feel everyone's eyes staring at him
"Artosh..." Sona called "Watch out on your way home, I heard that weird people are going around lately"
He nodded and left the school, he was on his way home when he felt like he was being followed...He sighed, he knew that the person chasing him wasn't human and while he was indeed tired of hiding, he wanted to get big in humanity's society before interacting with that world...He walked into an alley and waited faking to check out his phone.
The person following him was a tall woman with navy blue hair and wearing maroon clothing, she started to approach him as a spear made of light generated in her hand when she was close enough she simply went for a stab...but the spear broke on impact as if made of glass. She widened her eyes but before she could summon another one or back away, Artosh grabbed her by the neck. Black wings sprouted from her back and she tried to take off hoping to fly away but his grip was unmoving just like his body
"H-How?" She muttered as she started breathing with difficulty
"I have tolerated your presence if you were to just spy on me I would have let you go...but you were here to kill me, why?" he asked getting spit on "So that's how it's going to be? Good because it has been far too long since the last time I hurt someone" with that said he started punching her in the guts repeatedly "Feeling more talkative?" he asked smirking badly
The woman was writhing in pain, those punches had far too much power behind for any fallen angel "Your...sacred gear..."
"My what now?" He asked raising an eyebrow faking ignorance, Ophis already told me of those
"An...artifact of sorts...given by God to humans...we can feel its power coming out of you..." she said coughing blood
He started laughing at her face "I don't have one...anyway...Do you work alone? Or is there someone you serve?"
"...I..." she coughed blood again "Will never sell my master...kill me if you want"
Artosh looked annoyed more than anything before he looked at the black pair of wings "You must be taking a lot of pride in your wings..."
The woman's expression turned into one of horror when she realized what he was implying but before she could do or say anything he had already his hand on the base of one of her wings...with a swift motion, he ripped it away
The woman screamed and he let her fall to the ground, she immediately went to retrieve her missing limb but he kicked it away from her before grabbing the remaining wing "I wonder if your boss cares enough of you losing your wings"
"No please..." she muttered as she felt his hands begin to pull "RAYNARE! HER NAME IS RAYNARE!" she shouted
He smiled "See that wasn't that hard" he said placing his hand around her neck "Since you were so cooperative I'll end your suffering" and at those words she snapped her neck
The fallen angel body feel to the ground lifelessly and then disappeared seemingly disintegrated by something.
Artosh placed his hands on his pocket and looked around "Come out or you're next" he said calmly as Sona and the rest of the student council landed in front of him, they were clearly wary of him
"So you knew" Sona said cautiously "For how long?"
"Since I was born in this world" He replied calmly starting to walk towards her causing everyone the place themselves in front of Sona to protect her "None of you would be alive right now if I wanted to kill you" he said calmly as everyone fell on their knees feeling an immense pressure on their shoulders "I'll kill this Raynare since she dared to bother me and ruined my plans, see you at school"
With that, he went back to his home, he proceeded with his life, he didn't need to go look for this Raynare, he had already hatched a plan which involved lots of pain, he will hunt down every single pawn of hers and kill each and every one of them, once cornered she will desperate and hopefully, she will put up a fight, even if she doesn't care of her comrades she will feel to looming dread
The next day
Lots of things he expected to happen most of them happened like the fact that the Student Council and the Occult Club were keeping an eye out for him what he didn't expect was Raynare to appear to literally appear at the entrance of Kuoh Academy along with Issei, at first he thought it was yet another Fallen Angel that worked for her but upon using his nigh-omniscience he easily discovered her true identity, he could end things and there but...what's the fun in that?
His day went on as normal and he was to go home when his way was blocked by the Student Council once again
"We need to talk" Sona said gesturing him to follow her outside
Artosh followed her into the middle of the courtyard where he then felt a barrier around them, he smirked liking where this is going
"We can't have you kill Fallen Angels like that, you are playing with powers you can't comprehend" Sona said calmly crossing her arms "We'll deal with the problems ourselves, the person who ordained your death will be punished, I swear"
Artosh brought his hand to his chin seemingly in deep thought before looking at Sona and her peerage and smiling "No, I will do it myself, my way"
With that the members of the student council surrounded him
"That wasn't a request" Sona clarified
"I see I see" He replied "Too bad I don't care if I have your permission or not"
Suddenly, Sona, Tsubaki, Momo and Reya flew up in the air with their wings and created magic circles launching various spells against him, he didn't bother to move and took them all, soon after other three members of the student council rushed him that being Tomoe, Tsubasa and Ruruko, they hit him with all of their might until they started feeling tired...
To everyone's horror...he didn't have a scratch on him, not even his clothes looked messy "My turn" he said calmly blurring out of view and appearing in front of Tsubasa, he flicked her forehead and the girl was sent flying more than a hundred meters away, she was still alive although every single inch of her being was in immense pain.
He turned his gaze towards Tomoe, suddenly another barrage of spells was launched against him but instead of simply taking them he grabbed the girl he was targeting and threw her against the spells, a small explosion took place and the girl fell to the ground unconscious but alive.
"Ruruko get away!" Sona shouted but it was too late
Artosh was behind the pawn and simply pressed his finger on her forehead sending an electric shock through her body and making her fall to the ground. Another barrage of spells was launched but this time he dispelled them since he was getting bored, he made a pistol with his fingers and pointed them at Momo "Bang"
A sonic boom exploded and the girl fell out of the sky, heavily wounded and covered in blood
He aimed at Reya and "bang" the thing happened again he then aimed at Tsubaki
The vice president of the student council created some sort of mirror in front of her
"Bang" He said but this time he was hit by his own attack...which was two times stronger when returned "Uhm interesting" he said still not even harmed...after all, he wasn't even using a fraction of his Old Deus powers
Tsubaki's expression was one of shock "Sona-sama ran awa-"
"Bang"
Tsubaki was shot out of the sky before she could say anything else
Sona was in shock, she had totally underestimated her opponent but before she could recollect her thoughts she found Artosh right in front of her
"You should thank me, I didn't kill any of them" he said darkly before grabbing her by her neck "Next time I will not be so generous" with that he launched her to the ground creating a crater.
The Old Deus landed and went home unimpressed and annoyed, he had hoped for something more stimulating...
Later that day
Rias had reanimated Issei successfully after the attack of the fallen angel Raynare but she didn't expect seeing what she was seeing upon returning to base...
Sona and her peerage had been completely and utterly annihilated, each member has very serious injuries to the point that a Phoenix tear needed to be used to each and every one of them.
"How could this happen Sona?" She asked as her friend who sitting on the sofa of the occult club
"It's my fault for thinking he was human..." she muttered
"He isn't?!" Rias asked confused
"I don't know..." Sona said tightening her fists "We surrounded him and attacked him but...he wasn't even scratched and then he...ripped us apart"
"What sacred gear does that?" The Heir of the gremory family asked
"He says he doesn't have one...or at least that's what he said" Sona replied before sighing "We might need to contact the satans..."
"We can't" Rias said shaking her head "At least not now that we have problems with the Fallen Angels"
"I don't think that problem will last long" Sona muttered "He is going after them"
"Because they tried to take him out?" Rias asked getting a nod "We'll have problems with the Grigori..." she said massaging her temples
"That's why we have to tell the satans, they must inform them so that they can't tell the leader of the Grigori that we have nothing to do with this"
"Or we can solve the problem ourselves before Artosh can..." Rias said crossing her legs
"And how would you that?" Sona asked
"We'll find out why they are here, where they are and what they are doing, Artosh might be strong but he is just one he can't be everywhere" She said calmly "I'll finish with Issei and then we'll take care of the fallen angels"
Sona remained serious "If things get worse I'll call my sister and you should do the same thing with your brother" she then sighed "So, how is your new pawn?"
The next day
Boring, he had achieved ultimate boredom, he thought that something interesting would have happened but aside from Issei becoming a devil nothing else happened, he had really hoped that the Fallen Angels would have done something against him but they didn't.
He was done waiting, he will start hunting them down himself as soon as he left school. Fortunately for him it didn't take care long enough for school to be over and he simply got up but before he could leave Issei approached him.
"Class Representative..." He muttered looking mortified "I have to ask you something..."
"If it's for the strip club then the answer is no" He replied
"Do you remember of Yuuma-chan?" Issei blurted out looking at him like some sort of sad puppy
"Yeah the fallen angel in disguise, she probably wiped the memories away from the others to cover herself after killing you" He replied calmly checking his phone
"Killing me?" He asked
Artosh narrowed his eyes at him "Yeah, Rias reincarnated you into a devil" he replied
"Rias senpai? Devil? What are you even saying?"
Artosh massaged his temples "Holy fucking shit, she didn't tell you shit did she?" he asked looking at the very confused young man "Come with me"
With that Artosh marched towards the Occult Club in the old building, Issei was reluctant but Artosh literally barged into the building before kicking open the door of the main room.
Immediately he saw the members of the Occult Club going in full defense formation
"Oh please, the Student Council had more people and look how they ended up" Artosh said not amused, he liked war but one sided fights bored him and didn't bring him anything.
Suddenly Rias came out of what seemed to be a shower only covered by a tower, Issei's nose began to bleed while Artosh remained emotionless.
"You have some explanations to give him" He said coldly
"I would have done with due time" Rias replied clearly not happy with him being around
Artosh laughed at her face "When? perhaps when a Fallen Angel will attack him?"
"You can't know that" She replied
"Indeed I can" Artosh said "I'll go take care of the fallen, don't bother me or you will die" he then suddenly looked at the empty space in the room "Oh no you will not"
"What?" Rias asked
"Not referring to you Gremory" He replied before disappearing
Later that day
The Fallen Angel known as Dohnaseek was inside an house taking care of a brother and sister who seemed to share a Sacred Gear...the pair was looking terrified at him analyzing his black wings and the weapon he had in his hands which he had just used to stab the brother who was bleeding on the ground
"Sora! Sora! SORA?!" The small girl shouted trying to keep the blood from pouring out "HELP! HELP!"
"Tch so noisy, good thing you guys are shut in" The fallen angel said raising his spear to strike the girl down before a sharp pain coming from his arm...
He looked at it and saw that it was entirely missing, he wanted to scream but the air was knocked out of his lungs as something pierced him and then pulled out. He turned around and saw Kalawarna's standing behind him with his heart in his hand.
Artosh looked at the organ in his hand "Uhm it looks the same as normal one to me" he said calmly as the Fallen Angel fell to the ground lifeless.
The little girl looked at him for a second before looking back at her brother "Sora! Sora! Help me!" She shouted looking at Artosh as tears streamed down her cheeks
"I already did" he said calmly as Sora began to cough before sitting up
"Shiro..." he muttered before widening his eyes and pushing her behind me "Stay away from her...eh? Class Representative?" he then looked at the corpse on the ground "Y-You killed him?"
"Yeah of course, he tried to kill you" Artosh replied looking at the two
"Nii-san you know him?" the girl asked
"Well sort of...he is the one who slips notes under our door every now and then" Sora replied calmly
Artosh sighed. These two siblings were really similar to the couple who brought him down back in his old world although with way more social anxiety and more shut in, for this reason he kept an eye out for them in case he needed for his plan B which due to the recent event was set in motion...
"I still wonder why you keep enrolling each year only to dropout, you would be at university by now" Artosh said calmly "But it does not matter, what matters now is the fact that from now on you will have to be on the run"
"On the run, why?" Sora asked
"Simply because people like him" he gestured the dead grigori on the ground "Fallen Angels and devils want the secret power that is inside you"
"Eh?" they both said terrified
"So you should try to pack your things and most likely go to become a priest and a nun maybe that way you will be taken in by the angels" Artosh said shrugging
"No way! I don't want to die vergin!" Sora spouted shaking his head
"Then..." Artosh said smirking "How about you come with me...and help me make humanity stand against all of this?"
"What do you mean?" He asked the Old Deus "And how can we trust you?"
Shiro nodded in agreement
"Because I could kill you both here and now and take that power away any moment but I will not" Artosh said calmly "Because you two are the most fitted for it" he explained calmly "Humanity is defenseless against all the other races, they do not know that there are beings that can wipe them out if they just wanted to...just like this one on the ground...I wish to end this, humans are weak...or so everyone thinks but they are more than capable of bringing down even the strongest of opponents with just with this" he tapped on the side of his head "And you two are one of the best minds around, do you think I don't know about blank ? You two are tactical geniuses but for now only in video games, but you could be much more...if you applied the same knowledge in real life you would be able to bring Gods to their knees"
"Is this a way to get us back to school?" Sora deadpanned
Artosh sighed "No, it's just a way of me to ask me to join me in bringing out humanity's potential"
"No way too much social stuff, we can't handle that" Sora said shaking his head
Shiro nodded in agreement
"You will be under my protection, you'll live rent-free and I will buy you anything you need and I swear that no social interaction will be required nor leaving the house unless you done want to" Artosh added as soon as he said that Sora and Shiro turned their back towards him and started whispering among themselves then they both turned to face him
"We have a couple of questions" Sora said seriously
"Ask and you shall be answered" Artosh replied
"First. What are you? You speak of humanity as if you're not part of it" Sora asked narrowing his eyes
"I am a reincarnated God of another world" Artosh said casually
"Second. What is our budget?"
"Unlimited" The Old Deus replied
"Third. What will be our job?"
"Strategists" Artosh said "And Intelligence"
"Fourth. We'll still be able to play games and work at our pace?"
The Old Deus nodded "I wouldn't dare to dictate how you will work"
"DEAL!" Both of them said "We'll pack our things and-" suddenly the apartment was completely empty "Oh"
Artosh smirked "Your things are waiting in your new home"
"And where that would be?" Sora asked before finding himself in a red desert along with Shiro and Artosh "Where are we?"
Artosh spread his arms outwards "Mars"
"I suppose you used your powers to make us able to breathe...don't tell me you made an breathable atmosphere just for us" The young man asked
"No otherwise NASA would choke on something upon finding out that suddenly Mars has breathable air" Artosh replied as a giant hole in the ground appeared and then started shaping itself in an underground bunker full of high tech stuff "it's like on of those doomsday bunkers in the usa, you know like the one where an american youtuber spent 24h in"
"Yeah we know" Shiro said softly
"Don't worry of being spot or random rovers, it's on a different dimension they will not see you nor touch you"
The two immediately went in without saying anything and rushed to the elevator that went through the several floors of the bunker and then noticed one of the buttons which had the word Artosh on it.
"What's this for?" Sora asked pressing it as the doors opened revealing Artosh's room
"This is my home, so that I can simply walk in in case something happens" Artosh explained calmly
"Woooah! How many armies do you have?!?" Suddenly the other young man said looking at his miniatures of Warhammer 40K "Khorne Armies, Astra Militarum with, Black Templar, Custodes you even have the Titans and all the vehicles for each army?!?"
"Oh you like Warhammer?" Artosh asked
"Yeah but I only played the videogames the miniatures are too expensive..." The young man said sighing before noticing a girl laying in Artosh's bed, he quickly rushed back to the elevator "Okay enough social interaction for a week, we can't figure out the rest on our own bye!" he said as the doors closed and Artosh sighed
Ophis looked at him and opened her mouth
"I'll help you if you join me" Artosh cut her off once again
The dragon widened her eyes "Join you? In what?"
"In my takeover" Artosh said calmly "Don't know if you noticed, but my existence was discovered by the other races and now my plan of climbing to the top of human society to start world war 3 is gone"
"So what will you do now?" Ophis asked
"I will let humanity discover the other races...rally them under a single banner and cause the bloodiest conflict anyone has ever seen...and I want you to join me in exchange for my help"
"Why do you need me?" Ophis asked
"I need the Khaos Brigade to make the humans scared of the other races when the times comes and I want your powers"
"And in exchange you'll help me deal with Great Red?" Ophis asked
"Not just me, I and humanity will help you" He replied chuckling
"I don't care about them..." she replied
"You should...it's because of them that I died in my previous life" He said calmly "Do you accept?"
Ophis remained emotionless before nodding as snakes came out of her sleeves and bit Artosh giving him a massive boost in power.
Suddenly both of them where on Venus upper atmosphere, Ophis looked around before focusing on Artosh
He raised his arms and suddenly a giant structure made of a huge number of cubes stacked up in a complex and irregular way with something that resembled the roots of a three on the bottom appeared.
"I present you Avant Heim" The Old Deus said calmly and its inhabitants" he added as an army of flugels flew out of the structure, all of them resembled both in appearance and personality his old ones, he even chose to give them the same names...only one thing was different...they were all made like Jibril.
