The newcomer in the room made everyone feel intimidated by the pressure he exerted. One of s seasoned adventurer and of a god.
Bell(God): What is this place?
Rolan: This is my own special dimension that exists separately from where you are from.
DOOM*
The pressure suddenly increased and more than a few had passed out from it.
Bell(God): I don't have time for games. I need you to send me back.
Rolan: *Hands up* You don't half to work yourself up so much, Bell. Your world is currently frozen in a fixed point from when I took you. This world exists separately from yours so no matter what we do here or how long it takes, once I send you back, it will be as if you never even left.
Bell(God): *Thinking* Hm. If that's the case, then why summon me? Also, how do you know my name?
Rolan: I know just about everything about you, Bell. As for why, I wanted to entertain some of us here.
Bell(God): Us?
He looked around and saw multiple familiar faces. The others just looked back in shock at another new Bell.
Zeus: Another Bell? And this feeling from him...
Hera: What is this?
Bell: What's wrong?
Hestia: That other you, I can feel Arcanum.
Welf: Woah, hold on!! Are you serious?!
Bell: But, isn't Arcanum-
Lili: That's the power of the god! You're saying Master Bell is...
Artemis: *Nodding* That person there is a fully fledged god.
Loki: Oi! What are you playin' at here?!
Rolan: Now then, let's round up everyone.
He quickly summoned everyone who was outside, so the kids, and had them all in the theater. The looked around, wondering where they were, and saw both Rolan and the new Bell.
Ardee(Emb): Dad?
Bell(God): You brought them here too?
Rolan: Yes, I did.
Albert(Emb): What is this? What is he doing here?
Meteria: Is that the Bell you all know?
Masako: He looks exactly like how he did before he left. At least, minus that outfit of his.
Zeus: Left?
Rolan: To keep this short, he died about eight years ago in their time.
Meteria: *Fiery eyes* WHO KILLED MY BABY?!
Rolan: No one killed him. He died naturally, from sickness.
Miach: I find that hard to believe. Airmid couldn't have possibly been unable to help him.
Rolan: Well, she was.
Airmid: *Shocked* What?
Rolan: There was no saving him. You all did what you could, but it was all for nothing.
Bell: Then, I died?
Rolan: Correct.
Silver: If that's the case, then why is he standing with us now?
Hera: Had you simply brought him back to life, he should be mortal. Why is he a god? Actually, how is he a god?
Rolan: I am afraid that is information you have no need of knowing.
He and the others argued about that. Off to the side, the kids tried to speak with Bell, but the god shifted around awkwardly at their questions.
Albert(Emb): Father.
Bell(God): Mm... *sigh* yes, it's me.
Surprisingly, the older ones had clung to him. Surprised at first, he soon returned their hugs before the rest of them joined in. Once they separated, they tried to ask him many things, though, Rolan's ward stopped any chances at spilling secrets he didn't want to be spread.
Albert(Emb): Let's forget about that. I'm glad you're back.
Bell(God): It's good to be back and also to see you all so grown up!
He would stay with them while Rolan finally got everyone else to calm down.
Rolan: Actually, I will allow some things to pass. Speak your mind.
Bell(God): Thank you.
Xena: So Dad, how did this happen to you?
Bell(God): Well, I would have to start with the fact that I didn't really die.
Masako: Wait, we all saw you pass on.
Bell(God): I did, but not in the way you're thinking. Dying was just a means to reach a greater purpose.
Wallace: That being?
Bell(God): After dying, I had myself guided to Heaven and there I had to complete a set of trials. Once that was done, I was fully ascended and became a full-fledged god.
Loki: You're joking. The rabbit actually becomes a god?!
Hera: I don't even know if I should be more proud or shocked!! He was born a mortal!
Silver: Well, he's my son so I should've expected some kind of greatness.
Jupiter: [It's still a surprise no matter how you look at it.]
Bell: Um, if I may, why bring this other me here?
Artemis: Yeah, now we have three Orions.
Bell(God): Three?
The time traveler Bell and Eiri came from the section they hid in and sat closer to the others.
Bell(Urano): That would include me.
Bell(God): Wow, it's like I'm looking at a live family album.
Rolan: Anyway, the reason I brought you here is for an interesting challenge.
Zeus: Another battle?
Rolan: Yes, but all of you are involved.
Alfia: Is that really a good idea?
Silver: I get you say that time isn't a consequence but...
Hestia: There are a lot of us!! A tournament would take forever!!
Loki: I'm with Itty-Bitty on this one. As fun as that would be, it would take us quite a long time.
Rolan: Ah, no need to worry. There will only me one match.
Freya: Come again?
Rolan: *Gesturing to God Bell* Yours truly will be your only opponent.
Artemis: I don't mean to sound rude, but isn't that rather unbalanced?
Rolan: Yes, but I have ways to make things more fair for you.
Finn: Us?
Bete: If it's all of us versus him, wouldn't we have the advantage?
Rolan: Oh, goodness no. All of you put together wouldn't stand a chance against him.
Meteria(Legends): Really?
Rolan: Yes. Bell(God), care to show them?
Bell(God): *Eyebrow raised* You sure?
Rolan: Of course. I control everything here, even life and death. Resurrecting any fallen man is nothing so, no need for anyone to hold back.
That Bell looked at him and shrugged. His body vibrated briefly before returning to normal.
Thud*
Eiri: *In pain* Agh!! *coughing*
Bell(Urano): Eiri?!
The dragon woman clutched her stomach in pain as she doubled over, head first to the ground. Everyone turned to her in shock as it happened nearly instantly.
Haruhime: What just happened?!
Bell(God): I just jabbed my finger into her stomach.
He showed them his hand and finger. They all looked at him like he was crazy. He not only moved across the room and back so fast no one even noticed him, but he even brought the Black Dragon to her knees in just a single blow.
Astraea: That girl was supposed to be the Black Dragon, right?
Alise: Lion, how strong is that version of your hubby?
Ryuu: *Stunned* Much stronger at least.
Rolan: Ah right. In your time, I must have grabbed you right after your battle against Ragnarok.
Bell(God): Give or take a few days. I slept that off like a bad hangover.
Hera: Ragnarok?
Rolan: Nothing you need to worry about.
He healed Eiri and she got back to her feet with her Bell helping her up.
Rolan: Now then, I have the arena all ready for this. All you adventurers can mosey on down there.
They all awkwardly made their way out before Rolan transported them to the arena grounds. Meanwhile, the non-combatants were all safely tucked away in the stands.
Albert: I don't mean to sound like a chicken, but if he could beat the monster I could barely wound on my own, how are all off us going to beat him.
Rolan: Not to worry. I'll seal his divinity and also limit his Falna to back when he was clearing the Bottom Floors of the Dungeon. Unless there are complaints to be made by you?
Bell(God): No, that's fair.
Silver: Bottom Floors? Are those different from the Deep Floors?
Bell(God): They are the last floors of the Dungeon. Those being 90-99.
Riveria: 99?!
Bell(God): Still gives me plenty to work with and I doubt I'd have much trouble.
Rolan: Well, keep in mind you aren't the only new generation here. Now, you go off and stretch or do whatever you need. Just do so away from here.
The god nodded and hopped over to the other side of the arena.
Welf: So, I think I speak for all of us when I say we're screwed.
Mikoto: *Blank* No, you're correct. Sir Bell will wipe the floor with us.
Argo: If anyone's got any idea to beat him, I'm all ears.
Feena: *Depressed* We have a chance at all?
Albert(Emb): We have a small one.
Bell: And what would that be?
Albert(Emb): Well, when you went off to clear the Dungeon, you were around the mid-twenties in level.
Raul: *Stone* Yeah, we're dead...
Albert(Emb): But that should be fine because we have Haruka.
Haruhime: Haruka? Why her?
Masako: She can manipulate another person's level.
Finn: I see. So you'll have her lower his level so that we can fight more evenly.
Zald: That wouldn't amount to much. Even cutting his level in half would leave him still much stronger.
Alfia: Assuming he allows that to happen.
Lili: Well, she's probably the best chance we have. Haruka will have to be our win condition.
Haruka: I'll do my best!!
Welf: Bell, want me to sharpen your weapons before we get started?
Bell: I guess goddess' knife should be enough. Hakugen is in a lot better shape since you maintained it last.
Welf: Got it. Anyone else?
Everyone looked at their weapons but a few handed theirs to him.
Rolan: Welf, that doorway there will lead to a weapons chamber. There's equipment to do your business there.
Welf: Sweet!
5 minutes later...
Welf: *Handing Bell his knife* I'm done...
Bell: Huh? It doesn't look like you did anything.
Welf: *Deadpan* I didn't. You do it.
Bell: Me?!
Welf: I... just can't...
Bell looked at him questioningly before Rolan had him go to the room. Once there, he took Elpis to the grind wheel and had it start spinning.
Bell: What's his deal?
Elpis: B-Bell, wait!! I'm not ready!
Grind*
Elpis: AH~
Bell: What in the-
He nearly dropped her when she cried out like that. He looked at the knife while Elpis panted slightly. Cautiously, he went to put the knife back on the wheel to sharpen it but
Elpis: NYAAHH~
Bell: *Blushing* Why are you making those noises?!
Elpis: Hah... that's mean of you to ask. You guys are the ones doing weird things to my body.
Bell: I'm just trying to sharpen you for the fight.
Elpis: It feels weird.
Bell: ...*sigh* Please, just bear with it. I promise I'll be quick.
With the others...
Haruhime: Master Welf, why didn't you do Master Bell's weapon?
Welf: I couldn't do it without putting myself in danger...
Mikoto: What does that mean?
With Bell...
Bell: *Blushing* Alright, almost done...
Elpis: B-Bell!! Wait!! I-It feels too sensitive at the tip!!
He brought the tip of the knife to the wheel and pressed it down.
Elpis: AAAAAHH!!!
Bell: Please, stop doing that!
Elpis: BEEEEELL!!!!
Being a construct of Artemis, the albino was having flashbacks with all the moaning his partner was doing. Thankfully, he managed to finish the job. When he did, Elpis retook her human for and Bell saw she was all red and sweaty.
Elpis: *Panting* You were... so rough...
After calming down, they both returned with the others in the arena.
Lili: There you are. What took you so long?
Bell: Uh...
Lili: Whatever. In any case, get ready because we're starting soon.
He got into the group with the others. They all had their gear ready and were moments away from facing the strongest version of their dear friend.
Rolan: Now that everyone is here, I'll inform you of some modifications of this match. First: All of you will have four lives to work with. Should you die for any reason, you'll be automatically resurrected and be ready to jump back in. Once you run out, you'll be resurrected into the stands and spectate the rest of the match.
Silver: You speak like death is of little consequence.
Rolan: In this dimension, it very much is.
Finn: Alright, all of us know the plan. We don't have much to work with, so we'll have to hope for the best.
Everyone got their positions. All the respective Familias were in their groups. Argo led the group of ancient heroes while Bell(Urano) and Eiri were in the front with the strongest of the kids.
Albert(Emb): Well, I can't make any promises here. Masako, you'll have to pin him down somehow.
Masako: I'll do what I can.
Bell(Urano): Even without arcanum, he'll still have a Falna. There's no telling what kind of skills he'll have.
Alise(Emb): We'll just have to be careful.
Rolan: Ready?
...
Rolan: Begin!!
Whoosh*
The divine Bell suddenly rushed and appeared behind all of them. Everyone stumbled back a bit before turning towards him.
Rolan: Alright, you all have three lives left.
Bete: WHAT?!
Tione: I thought you said you sealed some of his powers?!
Finn: Leave it, Tione. Bell Cranel is simply just that fast.
Bell(Urano): Eiri!! Let's go!!
She nodded and the two went to engage first. Holding back would only waste their lives, so Bell activated his spirit magic right away, heightening his speed and strength even more as he drew his spirit sword.
Clang*
The divine Bell blocked his attack with his bracers. To their surprise, they morphed from simple arm guards to full fiery blades with a flame shape and aesthetic. Bell(Urano) tried to press on but his other self wasn't budging and pushed him away. Meanwhile, all the mages tried casting their spells on him.
Lefiya: Fusillade Fallarica!!
She cast that, after Bell(Urano) was pushed away, but Bell(God) easily caught all the magic bolts with his one arm before throwing them aside as they exploded.
Lefiya: You're joking!
Riveria: Wynn Fimbulvetr!
Alfia: Gospel!
He easily broke out of the ice as quickly as it encased him and the wave of sound didn't make him move an inch.
Riveria: This is just unfair!
Silver: HAH!!
Clang*
The man spun his spear and a bright gold light enveloped him. Before he rushed in, he went to the little white renard and asked for a boost. Nodding, Haruka doubled his level and he went to take on his alternate version of his son.
Silver: *Dodging a kick* Woah! Not bad!
Bell(God): Thanks!
The two traded blow before both Albert and Epimetheus joined in with the man. However, the god easily blocked both of their blows.
Epimetheus: What?!
Albert: Damn it!
Argo: I got it!!
Crash*
He missed.
Argo: Nevermind.
Off to the side, Lili, Alicia, Naaza and Chigusa tried to deal some small damage from farther away. Sadly, their efforts amounted to very little as the arrows bounced off him.
Lili: Oh, come on!
He turned to them and sent a wave of fire their way. They looked on in fear before Eiri dropped down and canceled it out with her own fire. The four looked at her with wide eyes as they all nearly died.
Lili: Th-Thank you.
The dragon girl nodded before joining back into the fight. More of the close range fighters jumped in and out while the others fired spells or magic weapons at him.
Welf: I've got him!
He held up his unbreakable magic sword and got ready to swing it down and blast him with a wave of fire.
Albert(Emb): NO!!! STOP!!!
Welf: KAZUKI!!!
He swung and a wave of flames was moving to the front liners. They jumped out of the way, but Bell(God) made no effort to dodge and remained in place. That is, before Bell(Urano) came and took out a dagger with a red gemstone inside the blade. He blocked the wave of fire before it reached the other Bell and held it against the flat side of the blade which gained a bright glow on it. After that, he swung his arm and the magic fire was reflected in and away from everyone as they watched in awe. When that was over, Bell(Urano) regrouped with the others, who were confused.
Zald: What are you doing?!
Crozzo: We could've scored a clean hit with that!
Wallace: No we couldn't!
Welf: Why not?
Bell(Urano): *To Bell(God)* You didn't even try to move. I guess that means you have that skill too.
Finn: What skill?
Albert(Emb): Accelerant. A skill my father has that makes him immune to fire damage while also increasing his basic abilities whenever he's hit by a fire based attack.
Allen: I HATE THIS RABBIT!!!
Lili: Master Welf, you nearly doomed us even more! Why would you do that?!
Welf: Oh, because I wanted us to fail. OBVIOUSLY, I DIDN'T KNOW!!!
Aisha: Anything else we should know?!
Albert(Emb): The girls need to be especially on guard.
Aisha: Why?
She would receive her answer as Bell(God) appeared in front of her, grabbed her nipple through her wrapping between his thumb and index and flexing his pinky. This made Aisha cry out loudly before slumping to the ground. Her face was that of pure pleasure as her tongue was hanging out of her mouth and her body quivered on the ground while a puddle formed under her.
Haruhime: Lady Aisha!!
Bell: What just happened?!
Alfia: I believe your other you just took her out of the match. It doesn't look like she'll be back up anytime soon.
Bell: Haruhime, get her somewhere safe!
The renard nodded and she dragged her off to the side laid the pleasured amazon down.
Haruhime: Sorry.
She ran back to the other and they were switching between groups often. Each time, Haruka increased their levels while the healers did their best to keep her at peak condition. Though, people like Airmid and Line were mostly dead weight unless people survived a hit to even need being healed. The battle was traveling at a snail's pace as they were hardly making any progress. Several of them had also already died once more. Everyone was being worn down quickly while their opponent hardly showed any signs of fatigue. Still, they had part of their plan in motion and it was soon time for their next phase to begin.
Bell: RRAAAAAGH!!!
Albert: Take this!!
Clang*
Bell focused a full power Argonaut into his attack and Albert followed the boy. The two together pushed the foe back a little, but enough to position him for Mikoto.
Masako: Mother!!
Mikoto: Futsunomitama!
Right as she cast that, Masako's eyes gained a glint in them before he put his body in the same position as her. He copied her spell and the two launched a heavy gravity attack to slow down the other Bell who stumbled when he felt the immense gravity press onto him.
Bell(God): Ngh.
They saw how he struggled to move and went on to the next phase.
Ardee(Emb): Now!!
Haruka summoned a dark purple ring of light before casting it down onto him. He felt his status take a dive as his status began decreasing rapidly.
Bell(God): (That's not good.)
His body began slumping down and he fell to one knee.
Bete: He's down! Get 'em!!
He and a few others went to get some meaningful damage in before Finn felt his thumb throb massively.
Finn: Wait!!
As this group was a few moments from attacking, Bell(God) smirked before landing fatal blows on all of them, killing them instantly and still at an unbelievable speed. After that, they were sent back to the stands with the audience who were watching this with wide eyes.
Zeus: Did you see that?! He got them!
Artemis: They're going to lose ground now. Numbers was something they couldn't afford to lose.
Hestia: *Worried* Come on guys!
In the arena...
Finn: Damn it all!! He was faking that too?!
Alise: Suddenly not feeling very hopeful here!
Raul: Captain, the next group needs to switch in!
Lili: They can't switch yet! They aren't ready!
They looked at the group consisting of most of Argo's group as well as Freya Familia and they were all still very out of breath.
Raul: They won't last any longer if we don't switch! He may be weakened a bit, but he's still too much!
They watched as he broke free from the gravity prison and Haruka focused all her effort on keeping his level down. Unfortunately, he broke free from her before long, but the young renard managed to close the gap by a wide margin.
Wendi: Haruka!
Haruka: I-I think I cut it by half at least.
Finn: Half still puts him in the somewhere in the teens.
He watched and saw the god finally put in more effort into his actions which meant this was now a battle of stamina where he could very well lose if they played their cards right.
Finn: We still can't switch groups.
Silver: Braver.
Finn: Huh?
He turned and Silver was there with the alternate Alfia and Meteria.
Silver: We're tagging in.
Meteria(Legends): Sister, we should do that now.
Alfia(Legends): Fine.
Finn: Do what?
Their colored eyes glowed before the two hovered in the air briefly. Their bodies pressed together as they were glowed a bright light. When it died down, only one woman was left standing there.
Silver: There she is.
Lili: What just happened?!
Silver: An ability of theirs. They fused together to become one person. Always a pleasure to see you, Alteria.
The woman still wore similar black colored attire but also white and blue ones as well. Her hair was a long and light silver and her eyes were split blue on the left and green on the right.
Alteria: *Smiling* Good to be here. We'll be joining in now.
Silver: Me as well.
He threw his spear into one hand and held a magnificent bronze shield in his left. The two rushed in to join the current group of most of the remaining Xenos and Astraea Familia. The divine Bell dodged another swing from Silver before slashing back at him. The man blocked with his shield but was forced back again.
Silver: *Looking at his shield* I can't believe he just gave the Aegis a crack! This is ridiculous!
Alteria manifested a long halberd and swung it down creating a massive chunk of ice to hold the other man in place. After that, she raised a hand and a gust of sound ripped through the ice and sent the man back several feet.
Bell(God): Agh... that smarts.
Asterius: UUUOOOOOOOGH!!!
Crash*
Another swing of his axe and Bell was sent back even further.
Finn: Tag out, now!!
Alise: *Tired* Finally!
They switched with Loki, Hestia and some of the other children. Alise, Albert and Xena charged in again while Welf used some different elemental magic swords to cover for them.
Mikoto: Sir Bell!
Bell: I'm on it!!
He did what he had been doing and got another Argonaut ready. Being only Level 4, even doubling his level wouldn't amount to very much. Mikoto was also going to try another gravity seal to slow the other Bell just enough for another decent blow to land. Albert brought his axe down only for Bell to avoid that too. Still, the three of them along with waves of magic weapons were taking their toll on him slowly. The level decrease wouldn't wear off soon enough so drastic measure would need to be taken.
Bell(God): HAAGH!!!
With great force, he beat them back with his arms which bought enough time for everyone to hear a loud bell ring. They saw the godly Bell glow white as he held his hand out in front of him.
Finn: Move it!!
Bell(God): Firebolt!
KABOOM*
Many people screamed and those were the ones who didn't move away in time. The rest of Freya Familia, save Ottar and Allen, Cassandra, Daphne, Lili and Bete, who tried to absorb the magic, all died a final time and were taken out of the match. In an instant, nearly half of what remained was wiped out.
Freya: I may like this new Bell, but how are they supposed to win this?
Rolan: Their odds were already low going in. The strategy they are using is simply the one with the best odds, not that they are even that good.
Astraea: We can see that...
Meteria: Remind me again what this was supposed to accomplish?
Rolan: All of you see first hand the true potential of that boy.
In the arena...
The underdogs were all reaching their limits and the other Bell was only now just getting a bit tired. They saw him sweating, but that didn't mean anything good in the long run.
Bell(Urano): Eiri, I think we're going to have to go for broke.
Eiri: Hah... if you say so.
She gritted her teeth as her eyes glowed bright red. Her body bulged for a moment before she grew larger and took a more dragonic form. Ais and Albert shivered at the sight of the Black Dragon in front of them once more. This time, however, it's back faced them as all of them had to unite to even stand a chance against their real opponent. Eiri roared loudly at the other Bell and Bell(Urano) manifested his spirit sword.
Bell(Urano): Strike
His body was covered in lightning again and Silver gazed at that version of his son.
Silver: *Panting* (So, he has these powers too.)
As he panted, Alteria was still next to him and on her knees. The last several exchanges required her to fight with everything and that had taken a massive toll on her as well. In the fight, the kids were scheming another plan while Finn helped the others up.
Albert(Emb): Masako, this'll be all you now.
Masako: *Nods* Right.
Ardee(Emb): So, you'll seal off his magic so he can't use it?
Masako: I'll try.
Alise: What is the guy can't do it?
Xena: I'm pretty sure we just lose if he fails. Haruka is just about ready to pass out on us and Airmid is already unconscious but alive.
Finn: Just try it.
Bell(Urano): We'll cut a path open for you.
Silver: Hah... I'll go too.
Albert: Hey, don't leave me out of this. I still need to give him a piece of my mind.
Ais: I'll join you, Dad.
Albert: *Smiles* Sure.
Albert(Emb): Then let's get this over with.
They all got ready as Eiri went in first. She flew up and dove down intending to ram into the divine Bell. He simply jumped up and kicked her back to the ground as her body slid across the ground. The others used the opening to jump in and hit him as hard as they could. Albert and Ais went for a dual thrusting attack which was caught by his hands before he threw them back.
Whoosh*
Bell(God): Wha-
Silver and the alternate Bell grabbed his arms and held him in place.
Bell(God): Ngh! What in the-
Silver: Now!!
Bell came in as he charged a grand bell Argonaut and brought Elpis down on his goldy doppleganger's head.
KRK*
His eyes widened in shock when he saw his blade stopped by a dense barrier made by his other self glaring at him.
Bell: Gh! (I-I can't break through!)
Bell(Urano): (His arms aren't available and he can still stop that kind of attack?! This is crazy! Oh gods, is this what I've been doing to people?)
The albinos were all stuck there. The divine Bell kept his youngest self in place, but he was still playing into their hands. Masako rushed behind and slashed his back with his sword that glowed a dark purple.
Bell(God): Rrr! What?!
Masako: It looks like it worked.
Bell(God): What worked?
Masako: I sealed off your magic. You won't be blasting us with fire anymore.
The older albino kept struggling in the arms of his holders before stopping.
Bell(God): Hehehe... hahahaha!! That was your plan?
They were all on guard and the alternate Bell and Silver held him down tigher.
Rumble*
The ground shook slightly and it wasn't from Eiri getting up again.'
Bell(God): Were you really thinking getting rid of my fire magic would even the odds? Did you forget who my Grandfather was?!
The ground around him cracked before the fire on his laurel crown was replaced by the racing of lighting.
Lili: Master Bell!!
Bell(God): Wrath-
Silver: (Well, this is going to hurt.)
Bell(God): of Olympus!!
Crash*
The ones near cried out in pain as they were quickly electrocuted before they were fried to dust. He then turned to what remained and put his hands together like he was praying. That was what it looked like before he separated them and a ball of lighting appeared between his hands. He threw it to the sky before it made a popping sound and disappeared. Just when someone was about to ask what happened, loud cracks of thunder echoed and numerous strikes of lightning struck them, vaporizing them to nothing and finished off any of them that were still alive, leaving the god the last man standing. After Rolan revived them, he cleaned everyone up and returned them all to the lobby.
Rolan: Ah, that was fun.
Freya: For you.
Rolan: Well, of course. Who else would it be for?
She and some other grumbled while the non-combatant ladies check up on their men as the fight ended.
Meteria: Bell, my baby!!
Bell: I-I'm fine now! I swear, no pain!
Loki: Alright, someone tell me what that last thing was! I thought you said you sealed his divine powers!
Hestia: Yeah! I mean, it looked really cool, but where did Bell get those lightning powers from?
Rolan: It was incredible.
Hera: Him getting new powers?
Rolan: Oh, I'm sorry. Did you ask me something?
Albert(Emb): Okay, I don't want to sound rude, but after sending us all to die multiple times, I think we at least deserve some explanation about why our Dad became a god in the first place.
Rolan: Why does Bell do anything in his life?
Hestia: What does that mean?
Rolan: Think about it. Most of the things he does involves saving someone.
Miach: Who in the world needs saving that Bell would need to become a god?
Bell(God): Try all of Heaven.
...
Everyone: Eh?
Bell(God): I could say that?
Rolan: Do what you want. I'm have a sandwich to finish making.
Freya: What happened in Heaven?
Ouranos: Young man, or maybe just Bell. Either way, can you tell us what happened?
Bell(God): Well, basically event happened and a hole similar to the Dungeon was opened in Heaven as well. Multiple ones in facts and since most gods are just useless, I've been tasked with keeping order up there.
Bell: Keeping order?
Bell(God): Yup. You're looking at the King of Olympus and the leader of the Greek Pantheon after Grandpa decided to hand it off to me so generously.
Hestia: No way...
Haruhime: Master Bell is a king?
Mikoto: A king among gods.
Hera: Why do I feel like he did that just to go around and goof off.
Bell(God): *Sweatdrop* Well, that isn't too far off but it's also only half the story. It was better it was me anyway. Basically, I needed to stay up there and keep everything under control.
Meteria: All by yourself?!
Bell(God): No! Well, not the whole time. I had help.
Astraea: Who would be able to help?
Bell(God): A few were willing to rise up and give me a hand. Still, it's funny you ask because you know some of the people I work with.
Astraea: Really? Most of the goddesses I know aren't the fighting type.
Bell(God): Who said anything about them? I mean your Familia there.
Alise: Wait, us?
Bell(God): I wasn't the only one there to rise to godhood. You ladies were behind me.
Ryuu: What?!
Bell(God): *Nodding* Yup. They were my juniors while taking on our trials. Once we were all done, we became the first mortal generation of gods and a new generation of Neo Olympians. Since we were all adventurers, we didn't have much trouble keeping things in order up there.
Astraea: My girls did that?
Alise: *Posing proudly* Ohoho! My beauty managed to reach the peak of divinity! Good job, me!
Lyra: Great, just what we needed.
Kaguya: Oh, don't be so down. All of us becoming gods sounds like a wonderful time.
Neze: I don't think giving you anything like that is a good idea.
Loki: Oh yeah? Then what was this Ragnarok about?
Bell(God): That's...
He paused for a moment to think about how to say it.
Bell(God): This is going to hit some sore spots. I'm sorry, Ryuu.
Ryuu: Did I do something?
Bell(God): You, Finn and everyone involved with dismantling Evilus. Sending all the evil gods back to Heaven wasn't really the smartest move in hindsight.
Ouranos: Oh my, what did they do?
Bell(God): They got addicted to life in the Lower World and wanted to replicate the chaos they brewed.
Astraea and several others grew angry at that. Some of them just never learn.
Bell(God); Ultimately, their homesickness and addiction to chaos would prove to be their undoing. They successfully created a monster unlike anything witnessed before. Ragnarok, the god slayer, was born and it murdered all of them first before rampaging all over Heaven.
Meteria: You had to fight it, didn't you...
Bell(God): Actually, we were able to talk it out civilly after I showed I meant it no harm.
Meteria: *Beaming* Really?!
Bell(God): *Blank* Seriously? When was life ever that easy? Also, I said I beat it before we duked it out in that arena.
Silver: (Yup, that's my boy.)
Bell(God): Anyway, I beat it and passed out after.
Welf: How hard was it?
Bell(God): Well, it's about the same as if I gave aphrodisiacs to Freya, Aisha, Airmid and Haruhime and going on a steamy night trip in our love nest after stuffing up all my other ladies except that's much much easier.
Hera: PFFF!!!
Meteria and Alfia nearly passed out while much of the ladies exploded in red at what he told them.
Aisha: Oh? And what bedroom style did we favor?
Bell(God): Well, minotaur style is popular among a lot of you.
Asterius: Me?
Bell(God): No, basically I-
Rolan: Alright, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Now, thank you for humoring me. I'll send you back now.
Bell(God): *Nodding* Okay.
Albert(Emb): Wait. If you're a god now, will we ever see you again?
The god smiled and said to have faith in him before Rolan sent him out.
Alise(Emb): Aw, he's gone.
Lili: We still learned a valuable lesson today. No one mention exercise ever again!!
They all mentally agreed to that as dying over and over was a good idea to them. The couples cuddled tighter at the thought of having to do another event like that again. Artemis was joined by Meteria and other girls in keeping Bell close. The former in particular glaring at Rolan from having to watch the alternate and the original of her Bell fight and die.
Rolan: Artemis, you can stop looking at me like that.
The goddess wouldn't budge and kept her glare on the god who sighed.
Rolan: Fine, I guess I'll give you your reward for your patience. Now's a good a time as any.
He opened a portal once more and two blue haired teens feel out. One was a girl with her hair into a ponytail and red eyes. The other was a boy of shorter hair and green eyes.
Loki: More of them?
Finn: I don't think I need to guess hard on who they belong too.
Said pair of kids regained their bearings as they picked themselves up.
Boy: What just happened?
Girl: I-I don't know. You hurt, Orion?
Orion: I'm fine, Sis.
Artemis: Orion?
The two kids stared at Artemis and then Bell with wide eyes.
Orion: Am I dreaming, Diana?
Diana: *Rubbing her eyes* We're having the same dream if we are.
Rolan: Perfect. You're here.
Diana: Can I help you?
Rolan: You can by introducing yourselves to them. *Gesturing to Bell and Artemis*
Orion: Huh?
Bell: Uh, Mr. Rolan, are they...
Rolan: Say hello to your children.
He told the new kids about their new situation and they caught up with their past parents.
Diana: So, we aren't with you yet?
Artemis: *Blushing* N-Not yet.
Bell: So, Diana and Orion. Yeah, I like those names.
Orion: Personally, giving me another might have made things easier because after what Mom calls you, we get confused for each other a lot.
Bell: *Sweatdrop* Oh? Is that so?
With the others...
Welf: They just keep coming.
Hestia: *Gloom* What about me? Where are my children?
Lili: *Checking her nails* Maybe they got lost in the mail?
The two snarled at each other once more.
With Bell...
Bell: Ahaha. It feel kinda weird making it this far, but I'm glad I got to meet you two.
Diana: Thanks, Dad.
Artemis: Do you want to catch up with you other siblings too?
Orion: Oh, are they here too?
He was pointed to where Albert and the others were and the two walked over to greet them.
Diana: Hey, guys.
The kids stared at them awkwardly.
Alise(Emb): Do we know each other?
Orion: Shouldn't we?
Rolan: Oh, those two aren't from their time. I wrapped them up a little bit ago.
Loki: Say what now?
Rolan: Don't worry about it. You all can lounge here and we and get back to our scheduled show.
And he left them there for a while to resettle to the peace and quiet.
Astraea: *Sigh* That's finally over.
Alise: Man, this stinks! I wanna know more about me as a god!
Kaguya: I doubt anything would change.
Alise: Yeah but could I like breathe fire or fly? I have to know!
Lyra: Hey, remember that Lion got left out of that loop.
Alise: Oh, sorry.
Ryuu: I don't know if I should be jealous about that. It might be too overwhelming for me and I doubt I deserve it after everything that's happened.
Alise: Well, maybe but who knows.
With Zeus...
Zeus: *Crying* Finally. My boy achieved what he was destined to.
Hera: Being a god?
Zeus: Well, yes, but he also married and had children with the Artemis. That's something to be proud of.
Hera: You know what? Fine. I'll let you have that.
Zald: Anything to add, Alfia?
Alfia: I just don't like seeing how excited that trash is.
She looked to Silver who watched his son with pride.
Silver: And that add another goddess to him.
Meteria(Legends): Seeing our son like this makes me giddy for another round. What about you, Sister?
Alfia(Legends): *Blushing* D-Don't ask that randomly!
Silver: She has a point. Alfia will end up coming to me anyway so there's no point.
Alfia(Legends): Hey!
Rolan: I'm back and on that note, you three won't be achieving anything by doing that.
He walked in and almost startled them.
Silver: What?
Rolan: There's no point in sex if they're already pregnant, is there?
...
Meteria(Legends): Eh?
Rolan: You both are about to carry babies of your own. Granted, they've barely developed at all and aren't actually alive yet, but the process is under way.
Zeus: Really?!
Rolan: Yes.
Thud*
They turned and saw Alfia on the ground with a mortified look.
Alfia: Th-This can't be... I can't be... not with his... urk!
She held in the urge to vomit while the other Alfia was totally red.
Bell: Wait, so I get my own siblings?
Rolan: Eventually. Anywho, it's not going to happen for a while, but congratulations to both of you.
Meteria(Legends): Aw! Thank you!
Alfia: Kill me...
Rolan: Anyway, the next show is almost ready. This next one should be most educational for you, Alfia.
She didn't like the sound of that. Neither of them did.
AN: That ends this chapter. Thanks for reading and for showing you enjoyment of this story. Next one will be another special one. Not to commemorate anything, just me enjoying myself. On that note, thanks for everyone for letting this reach 3k. I know it passed that because I'm rather slow, but thanks regardless. It always means a lot knowing you enjoy what I put out.
Also, to keep it clear, after I've had my fill of these world reactions again, I'll be moving to the Heart of Alfheim reaction and yes, I have permission from the author to do it. I'll also get Odr and Fey moving since I know I left everyone on a cliffhanger. I know you don't read this, but if the author is does, I hope you find your stride in writing again. People on the main sight are eager to see the continuation of your work as well as the edits here, myself included.
Anyway, thanks as always for reading. Leave your thoughts if you want and I'll see you in the next one.
