Interlude 7: The Cycle

Zeus, God Father of the Cosmos, loves.

Greek mythology wouldn't be as big as it is, if it wasn't for him and his many lovers, but that's not the love he is referring too.

Hades, his older brother... even if he was the king of the realm of the dead, he was the most caring and loving being he ever met...

Even Poseidon loved Hades... then why... then why did he betray him?

"Zeus." A voice said and Zeus wasn't in the mood.

"Leave Beelzebub."

The lord of the flies wasn't affected by the threat. "I will go next."

Zeus nodded "I don't care. Just win."

Beelzebub nodded "I will. After all, Mr. Hades must answer to me too."

Zeus raised a brow and saw how the god left. "I wonder..."

"Are we going to lose?"

*Human's Side*

"...So, a cycle of erasing and creating humanity..." Brunhilda said, and Hades nodded.

"Indeed. We gods had been doing different things to wipe out humanity, before trying again centuries later. Many just agree to do so, because they are bored, and once seeing their creation fail, they just erase it."

"That sounds cruel." Wendy said and Poseidon scoffed.

"We are perfect beings, and your existence is a mere whim to us."

Sabo who was watching the god of the seas closely frowned "I'll be careful, Lord of the Fishes." Poseidon glared at him "The only reason you are still alive is because Netero-San asked. Don't doubt for one second, I won't kill you again."

As the tension in the room grew, Geir busted into the room "S-Sister! The next fighter is Beelzebub!"

Brunhilda nodded "We need to focus then... How can we fight a god that is even feared between even by them..."

Toshinori who was listening frowned, "I might not like him, but I believe he is the best option for this."

Brunhilda nodded "While he is weaker than his master, I agree."

Geir looked confused as she followed her sister out of the room. Sabo turned to Toshinori, "Are you talking about-"

"Yes. Tomura Shigaraki."

*Gondul Chambers*

Tomura was free. He is free from All for One influence while keeping his quirk thanks to her, Gondul. She seems to be obsessed to with science so that's how she managed to send him away.

He knows that he is in debt with her, and he hates that. He doesn't know what her goal is, it has to be more than just 'save humanity' as she says.

Everyone has an agenda. Brunhilda must have one and by extension, her sisters. All for One had one. And he paid the price for trusting him.

The doors opens and Brunhilda enters followed by her pathetic sister "Tomura, you are next."

He snapped his tongue as Gondul closed her book "I understand sister." She stood up and walked to where Tomura was sat "Are you ready, Tenko Shimura?"

Tomura growled "I told you, to not call me that."

"My apologies, but I thought you wanted to get free from All for One's influence."

Brunhilda sighed "Your rival is Beelzebub; he is the closest thing to a demon in the side of the gods. Be careful." and with that they left, Geir giving him a wary look before leaving.

Gondul watched how the door closed and turned to Tomura "Tomura, you wish help, don't you?"

Tomura didn't answer and Gondul got on her knees in front of him "I know what you are thinking. How you feel betrayed and used. And now, how everyone feels anger and hate towards you. Let me help you. If you don't desire your old name, allow me to clean your new one."

Gondul carefully took his hand "Allow me, to save you."

Tomura eyed her carefully. He just muttered "Volund."

*Beelzebub Chambers*

"You better not tarnish my research." Beelzebub said to the hooded figure "This should be quick."

The hooded figure nodded "No need to worry. Good luck out there."

Beelzebub nodded and left to the arena.

*Arena*

"And now! It is time for the eight round of the Ragnarök! As for this moment, humanity is one step ahead from the gods but is this the time to tie the race!?"

"ENTERING FOR THE GODS! A GOD WITH THE POWER OF DARKNESS, CAOS AND DEATH IN HIS HANDS! FEARED BY ALL! HE IS! THE LORD OF FLIES, BEELZEBUB!"

No one cheered. The arena was petrified seeing how the Devil for humans, walked calmly into the arena.

"AND NOW! FOR HUMANITY! HE, IS THE NEW SYMBOL OF FEAR! WITH THE POWER TO STEAL POWER FOR HIMSELF AND TO DESTRYOY EVERYTHING! HE IS! TOMURA! SHIGARAKI!"

More silence, humanity didn't know how to react to this, Symbol of Fear. Tomura entered with his red cape, pants and... a metaling armor top.

"Go Tomura!" Tomura heard and saw how... Izuku Midoriya cheered. He ignored him as he turned to Beelzebub.

"You are different from what I imagined the devil was like."

Beelzebub hummed "And you... are even weaker from what I remembered."

"FIGHT!"
