'It was surprising to see that Loki's on the same level as me with Gram fully released. Granted, I didn't use my True Form or my Balance Breaker, but then again, it didn't feel as if he was actually taking me seriously.'
"Azathoth, drachma for your thoughts?" I blinked at the question before turning to the one who asked him, smirking at Hera's curious look before I shrugged as I answered.
"Just repeating the battle against Loki in my mind."
"Ah, reviewing the points of battle where you could have done better?" Zeus asked with a smirk, to which I nodded and he chuckled as Odin smirked.
"That's good, but I would suggest perhaps to find points in your battle where you felt your senses being slightly off."
"For Loki's illusions, correct?" Okita said, to which Odin chuckled as he nodded in response.
"Correct. Whenever you felt something wrong around you or felt as if there's a point in battle when something was behind you, you can be certain Loki is hidden near you. Loki likes to hide away and use physical clones to figure out your strengths & weaknesses until he is sure he could take you out with one simple attack or at least weaken you in some way."
"I see. So if I want to beat him, I basically need to find him as fast as possible and take him out before he can really hide away from me? That's…a good workout for my mind." I muttered with a frown as I thought of the numerous blades I needed to fight Loki, noting Odin's hum of approval before I looked up as I 'saw' numerous figures appearing on the edge of my Air Vision range.
"We've got contact. A few kilos to our front."
"Friendlies?" Zeus asked and I smirked at his excited smirk before chuckling at his disappointed groan as I nodded, Okita rolling his eyes before we looked to the front.
'I guess the alliance is already underway.' I thought as I watched a battalion of Fallen Angels and Devils spread through the air and despite the wary glances some of them gave each other, they flew in a perfect formation towards us.
"My lords and ladies, the journey was pleasant, I hope." The Devil at the front spoke with a smile and I snorted as Okita shook his head.
"You would think that, but apparently, there's a divine and his very angry children that doesn't like how the world's progressing."
"We got attacked by Loki and his children. Fenrir's son & Miðgarðsormr's clones are dead and Fenrir & Hel are back in their cages, so nothing to worry about." I explained as I saw their curious stares, smirking in amusement at their shocked looks before turning to the amused Okita with a raised eyebrow.
"Don't you have something you're supposed to use when we get this far?" I asked, to which he just rolled his eyes whilst pulling out the pamphlet Sirzechs gave us.
"You divines ready for endless meetings?" I heard Okita asked, watching as the gods just looked amused before Frigg was the one who answered.
"Sweetie, we divines have been in meetings with each other for millennia, some of which lasted for years. Trust me when I say this is nothing."
"My dear wife speak the truth. Now, let us head meet your leaders. I wish to see this Lucifer in person for myself." Odin spoke with a nod and Okita nodded as he sent a pulse of demonic power into the pamphlet.
"Good luck on your border patrol, fellow devils and allies!" I spoke to the still awestruck devils & Fallen Angels before my vision was obscured by a scarlet flash as I felt myself being whisked through space at a blistering pace.
As soon as the crimson light died down, Isaiah looked around at where they arrived only to blink at the sight of the Four Satans along with Lord Gremory and a familiar face already waiting for them.
"Lord Agares! How have you been?"
"Other than you killing off High-Class devils and forcing more work upon me, my life was peaceful."
"Good to hear! Well, Sirzechs, gods for a meeting as delivered! Now, I have three girlfriends and a vacation to take care of! Don't bother me!" And before anyone could ask, the Azathoth crest appeared under Isaiah before whisking him away, Okita chuckling as Lord Gremory and Sirzechs smirked.
"Wait, what?! They're going without me?!" Serafall exclaimed with a pout, but before she could teleport away, a whine escaped her lips as a light green crest shattered her own pink crest.
"Serafall, you're the Satan of Foreign Affairs. Go ahead." Ajuka spoke without looking at one of his best friends, Serafall just grumbling before quickly switching to a bright smile as soon as she noticed Okita, Surtr Second & Beowulf walking up to them with the divines.
"I'm assuming Lord Thor is occupied elsewhere?" Sirzechs asked with a chuckle, smiling at Odin's nod before turning to his peerage as they bowed.
"I thank you three for doing this job under short notice. Go rest and await further orders."
"No need for that, Lord Sirzechs. It was our pleasure.
"Speak for yourself, Wulfy. You didn't have to fight the most cunning divine in existence."
"Wait, what?" Falbium asked with a drowsy frown, to which Odin answered as the devils teleported away.
"We'll tell you more when we're in the meeting, which I believe is what we're here?"
"Right, of course. Please, let us proceed."
"Well, hello there, little crow!" Azazel just grinned at Odin's exclamation and stood up from his chair, the two men shaking hands firmly before Odin turned and grinned at the smirking Yeshua standing up.
"And look at who finally decided to stand up from his father's throne! Last I saw you, you stopped Michael and his company from eviscerating the entirety of humanity from the world because they killed you."
"Yes, Michael was not pleased at that especially when Father told him not to intervene."
"Speaking of that hardhead, where is he?" Zeus asked as he looked around, to which Yeshua chuckled while Azazel rolled his eyes with a snort.
"He's currently overseeing Heaven in my stead. Granted, he did want to come with since I'm not supposed to trust the heathens that much that I need to go to their home, but I felt that if I do come here, it would be a large show of Heaven's leader to feel comfortable in our former enemy's territory. Not that I ever saw you all as that, no offence."
"None taken, Yeshua. We understand completely." Serafall said with a bright smile, ignoring the migraine that came from speaking his name and Yeshua smiled as he nodded before turning to the other gods as he gestured towards the meeting table.
"Now then, shall we?"
"Huh, guess you were all waiting for me." Isaiah spoke with a smirk as he appeared in his room before frowning slightly at how irritated Akeno, Kuroka and Tsubaki looked.
"Yes, but unfortunately we won't get to leave as soon as we thought." Akeno grumbled, to which Isaiah just turned to Tsubaki for an answer.
"Lord and Lady Gremory wants to see you, so they told us that we should send you to them as soon as you arrive."
'Huh? Why would they need me? Did the Lunarians send something?'
"I see. Well, let me go see what they want and if it's a job, I'll say no and teleport out before they can convince me to do it." Isaiah quickly spoke as all three glared at him, the answer satisfying them as Akeno & Kuroka huffed & nodded while Tsubaki gave him a thankful smile.
"In the meantime, I have a list of all the Gremory-owned islands & resorts all across the Underworld & Earth in the top shelf, so why don't you ladies pick out one for us four?"
"Wait, seriously?" Kuroka asked with a surprised look, an excited smile appearing on her face as Isaiah nodded and decided to walk out just as all hell broke loose.
"…I assume you're here for me?" Isaiah asked with a smirk as he opened the door, staring at Evelina who was waiting in front of the door. She just smirked and he chuckled before she looked past him and raised an eyebrow as he closed the door.
"Do I even want to know?"
"Vacation plans." He answered and a look of realization appeared in her eyes as she gave an amused giggle as the two of them started walking to Lord Gremory's office.
"Understandable. Okita and I took one while you were still training all those years ago and it was quite relaxing to have just the two of us on an island."
"It seems to have been more than relaxing with that smirk." Isaiah said with a smirk, not even flinching as Evelina gave him a soft smack on the back of his head.
"You be quiet. I'm the one who has to clean your home and let me tell you, it's not a nice job."
"Eh, that's more the girls than me. Hell, I barely use it these days with how busy I am."
"Speaking of being too busy, are you doing okay on that part? You know you don't have to do all this."
"Oh, I know, which is the reason for the break and for my new mentality." Isaiah spoke with a smirk as they stopped in front of the office door, Evelina raising an eyebrow as she knocked on the door.
"Which is?"
"Take it easy and tell people that if they really need me, they can make an appointment with my company."
"Does that include us?" Zeoticus asked with an amused smile as Evelina opened the door, to which Isaiah just nodded as Venelana smiled.
"Good to hear. There should be no special treatment for those close to you."
"Just like you taught me, Lady Gremory."
"In public and formal events, it's Lady Gremory. In the confines of the Gremory Castle…"
"It's Venelana." Isaiah answered with a chuckle as he sat down, Zeoticus just chuckling as Evelina bowed to Venelana before closing the door behind her.
"So, Akeno and the girls tell me that you requested my presence?"
"Yes and before you ask, it is not about the Lunarians. Our meetings with them went well and the devil race now have a non-violence trade & peace treaty with them as long as none from their tribe are asked to join a peerage."
"That's good. I would not wish to have the trust between us be destroyed that quickly." Isaiah said with a thankful smile and Venelana nodded before she glanced at Zeoticus, who sighed before nodding.
"It's…it's about you."
"What about me? Did something happen? Are the Great King Faction starting trouble again?"
"Nothing like that. It's more to do with a member of your peerage."
"What did the boys do now? I thought I told them to behave." Isaiah grumbled with a shake of his head before looking up as Zeoticus chuckled and Venelana giggled.
"No, no, Isaiah. It's Meredith."
"Wait, did something happen to her? Was she attacked?"
"Would you let us finish?" Venelana asked with an amused smile, to which Isaiah blinked before giving a sheepish smile as he nodded.
"Of course, Lady Gremory. Proceed."
"Ahem~Thank you. Now, as I was saying, we have received a request from the Royal Family of the United Kingdom. They have heard the exploits of you and your peerage, especially that of Meredith, and they wish to meet her."
"Who exactly wants to and where are they located?"
"Isaiah, no killing." Zeoticus said with a stoic look and Isaiah just smirked as he shook his head.
"I'm not going to kill them, Zeoticus. I'm going to torture them. There's a big difference." Venelana just stared at Isaiah before she sighed and looked to the side.
"You were right. He did take your side." Isaiah frowned in confusion before sighing as he looked to the side, watching as a smiling Meredith became visible.
"Have you been training to dodge my sensing abilities?"
"Yes, I have. Also, thank you."
"You're my Knight and a Vassal of House Azathoth. I'm always going to have your back. So, what will you do now?" Isaiah asked as he turned to Venelana & Zeoticus, who just glanced at each other before Venelana sighed as Zeoticus shrugged.
"We can't force you to agree nor force Meredith to go. The family will be displeased…but House Gremory will always side with their Vassals above all else. Now, you can leave for your vacation since your girlfriends are waiting outside." Isaiah just chuckled at that as he heard three pairs of different footsteps quickly rushing away, Meredith giggling and Zeoticus chuckling as Venelana shook her head.
"Of course. Come on, Meri."
"Lord & Lady Gremory." Meredith bowed and Zeoticus nodded back as Venelana smiled, Isaiah & Meredith leaving the room before the King sighed as he caught a whiff of arousal in the air.
"What do you smell?" Meredith asked as Isaiah closed the door, to which he just chuckled and glanced in the direction of his room.
"Three ladies that desperately need me and a vacation that's calling my name. Tell the others to take a break while I'm gone and maybe go on a few trips yourself. Now, if you'll excuse me."
"So, what did Okita mean when he said that you all just finished fighting the most cunning divine in history?" Sirzechs asked as the meeting began, Yeshua and Azazel looking at him with slight frowns before turning to Frigg as she answered.
"Approximately four to five minutes after we passed the border of the Netherworld, we were attacked by Loki, Fenrir, Hel, Sköll, Hati and five biological clones of the Sleeping Dragon King Miðgarðsormr. Thankfully, my husband, stepson, Poseidon and our devil entourage managed to get rid of them all, with Sköll, Hati & the Miðgarðsormr clones having all been killed and Fenrir & Hel placed back in their cages."
"What about Loki?" Azazel asked and Odin sighed as he shook his head.
"Unfortunately, we were fighting one of Loki's infamous avatars, which are physical clones that he create to fight his battle while he either hides away or is safely far away from the battle."
"I see." Azazel muttered before they all turned to Falbium, who gave a tired hum as he laid his head on the table.
"I thought the meeting was kept quiet from all except those that attended it."
"You suspect a traitor?" Poseidon asked, Falbium just shrugging before he yawned.
"Falbium has a point. One of the Norse Gods have already publicly attacked you all for siding with those from a different faction. We also have the Old Satan Faction & descendants of ancient heroes that joined the Khaos Brigade. According to Azazel & Yeshua, more exorcists have gone rogue & more Fallen have defected over the past year, so it's not a stretch to say that there are some divines that feel that they're pantheons are betraying them." Ajuka answered, to which the divines glanced at each other before Zeus sighed.
"Hah, the thought was there, but I wanted to deny it. However, if this is indeed true and we do have traitors amongst us, I have a suspicion on who the one was who betrayed us."
"Brother, be careful. I understand what you want to say and I know who you are going to talk about, but it's one thing to think about it and another to vocally accuse someone of it." Poseidon said with a frown, Zeus shaking his head as Hera grabbed his hand.
"I understand, Poseidon, but if we wish for this alliance to flourish, I must act not as just a divine but as a king."
"Likewise, Zeus. If Loki betrayed us, then I have a list of the divines that would follow in his footsteps." Odin spoke with a nod, Frigg smiling as she nodded before turning as Sirzechs cleared his threat.
"Then, while we're on the matter, Yeshua, Azazel, let us also share our list of potential suspects that we think are involved."
"Sure, fine by me."
"Of course. Lord Zeus, if you wish, I can start." Yeshua offered, but Zeus shook his head as he took a deep breath.
"No, that's not necessary. Now, the person at the top of my list is someone that we all had in mind and with his recent behaviour over the past year, my suspicions are far too close to just let them be."
"And who is this person that you suspect, Zeus?"
"Hah…it is my brother. Hades, Ruler of the Netherworld and Lord of the Grim Reapers."
A/N: If you see this, it's probably because I forgot to add this part and added it just now.
For those that don't know, I've uploaded a new Dragon Ball Self-Insert and the character I chose is none other than Mr. Perfect himself, Cell.
Chapters are up to seven weeks on my Pat. Re. On (KingCrimsonNova) and I also made a BiMeACoffi (Buy Me A Coffee. Com) under the name KingNovaCrimson. It has everything that has(ten weeks ahead on the Unholy Wolf & seven weeks ahead on King of Hellish Gravity).
However, it also has the added addition of annual subscriptions and for the first ten people that sub to this, I'll gift you a month free. Also, for the first person that does a full annual sub for a year on the top tier, I'll gift you a year free.
That's about it. As always, read, enjoy, review and until next time...
Ba-Bye~!
