Wow, I'm already back. Eh. Oh, do you remember the Du you want to see Godesu Fight Kratos? Well, guess who's going to be on death battle? It was interesting timing... Hey do you want to see Gilgamesh from Fate be on death battle? I want to.
PS: Du you want to see Godesu Fight Gilgamesh?
There, that should do it.
But before we begin, I would like to thank Hector Gonzalez. His Review about not giving Godesu the same authority as Godou. Now I'm much happier with how it turned out. It a bit more original . So thank you for that. Now to chapter 2.
It is a strange feeling. Yes, I recognized it. But where? I felt it recently, but where? What did I do before this. The only thing I remember was Erica's boobs and Verethragna that I... I'm just a soul right now, Art I?
I opened my eyes and saw a young woman with violet hair, blue eyes, and pointy ears. It feels like she's giving me a lap pillow.
"Ah, it looks like our Isekai protagonist has woken up."
"Huh? Huh! HUH!" I stood up and turned to the All Giving Woman with wide eyes. " HOW DID YOU KNOW?! I mean, I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Hump. Don't lie to your mother. I can see the thread that the god has connected you to. But it matters if you are the chosen one or from another world. A god shouldn't have any control over my daughter."
It took a second to understand what she was talking about. But before I could say anything, I heard a voice.
"Hey, just because she's a Campione doesn't mean I'm going to do anything wrong to her. The string is not to have control over her, but so I know when something exciting is happening."
"Hey! I recognize that voice. It's you who Isekai me... Um".
"Will Of The World."
"Will of za warudo?"
"Hey, don't dio'fied it".
"But you're a god," said Pandora, who missed the yo-yo reference which parents usually do.
(Note: Dio means god in Italian. So Dio'fied means the same as deified. Godesu was in Italian so Pandora thinks they are speaking Italian.)
"Huh, I thought I'd never see you again."
"Same, but then this wannabe loli mom started messing with my thread and I had to stop her. I swear, even though I'm a couple of hundred thousand times stronger than her, she's good at messing with my powers."
"It's you like messing with my child."
"She was mine first, loli." That's when Pandora decided to throw a sandal at nothing? But it disappeared and a voice full of pain was heard. "Ahh! My existence! My existence! You hit me in my existence you bich!"
"It's not my fault, it's you who don't have a physical body."
"Some really bizarre things just happen right now." I mostly said to myself, but it drew attention back to me.
"Oh right. My child, you have slain a Heretic God and I have acknowledged it. You, Kusanagi Godesu will be reborn as an adopted child of me and a King. Although I'm a little unsure if it should be qualified with your help."
"Hey, if it wasn't her, it would have been someone else. It has literally been foretold by the people who can see the threads of destiny here. The only thing I did was put her in that place."
"Yeah, it doesn't help." Said Pandora like a ratty spoiled child who got something she wanted, but there was something wrong with it so she is angry.
A little afraid of not becoming a Campione. I decided to apologize. "Sorry mom, I didn't want to trick you or anything."
"HEY! What did you just call me?" Asked the All Giving Woman, her twin tails pointed up for a second. Like a surprised cat or rabbit.
"Mom. Um, can't I call you that yet?"
Tears began to gather in her eyes. "All- all my children. Almost everyone refuses to call me mom. And those who have, have taken time before they accepted me. But you (sniff) Are the first to have called me mom at the first meeting. WHAAAA" With that, she threw her arms around me in a hug and started crying on my shoulder.
We sat there for a while, the goddess just hugged me like only a mother can. Even though I haven't spent that much time with my mom in both my lives. This feeling is something that I recognize and welcome.
"Um, I'm just going to say I'm still here."
"Oh, that's right. Your friends and lover are waiting for you down there." She stopped crying on me and sat down so that our foreheads meet. "I, Pandora, accept herself as my child. A King, a godslayer and a wanderer from another world. Let all man bow before you, and all gods fall before your sword." She stopped as if she realized something, all the while it became more difficult to stay awake. "I know it was someone else that you took the place of and watched his or her journey. But everyone of my children are different and the authorities they usurp are suited to them personally, so don't expect it to be the same. I don't even know what you have seen."
"Holy, the loli pulled a fast one on us!. "
"Stop calling me a loli!" I heard a hiss in the air and a taste.
"AH! My awareness! How did you even?! And now it's sandal in my void. You see what you've done. You've trash my home."
"That's what happens when you break into my—"
The words became blury. I'm tired. Need sleep.
Erica Blandelli POV
There is no doubt. Her wounds and all her broken bones have healed and her magical powers rise every second. The Japanese girl known as Kusanagi Godesu has been reborn as a Campione. A King. A Devil.
But there are so many questions that I have. Lucretia Zola has checked her and there is no trace of her being in the magical world before this. She has no Hime-Miko blood or that of a Witch. Not even trained in Hermetic Magic or Daoist Art. And no evidence that she is a Sorcerer as I first suspected. With her flirting and that she was in bed with me and Arianna, I suspected that she was a Sorcerer who drew power from sexual rituals. But no trace of yhat.
But that doesn't mean she doesn't have contact with the magical part of the world. Someone else may have told her how to do it. In the fight between Melqart and Verethragna, she was very calm. Too calm. She used the Prometheus' Grimoire after she saw the sword. But did she wait to see which authority she would take or did she know which one and just waited for it.
I have great instincts. They have helped me become a Great Knight, but also follow her and see how she became a Campione. But it felt like she was looking for something, like she knew what the right moment to use the grimoire and just waited for it. And when Verethragna used the Youth. It was the look of someone's plan that went up in fire.
So, what are the secrets behind this King? I need to know. I can't overlook a possible enemy plan that included the birth of a King in Copper-Black Cross territory. The territory of the former youngest Campione, Lord Salvatore Doni. Who has a good amount of enemies.
I have no choice. I, Erica Blandelli swear to myself, and for the safety of my homeland and the Copper-Black Cross to find out what is happening.
"Erica, is she awake yet?" I turned around and saw Arianna standing in the doorway. After the fight, she had helped me to bring the unconscious Godesu back to Lucretia's home.
"No. And what are you doing? Lucretia wanted you to do something."
"Yes, when Lord Salvatore was reborn, he was very hungry, so I've got permission to use Miss Zola's kitchen and cook up a victory feast."
"I see. Then all we can do now is wait."
"Errrrrh"
Apparently the wait is over. I turned to the bed and saw the Japanese girl wake up. Her eyes opened and she passed through several emotions. What I could recognize was confusion, then recognition, insight, horror, accepted before it ended on excitement.
"Wow, I'm back. Hi Erica. Hi Arianna. I'm a Campione now." she said happily. As if she hadn't said or done anything unusual.
"Wait. You know what a Campione is." My stomach started to turn. It looks like she knew something about gods and godslayers before we met. Is it now that she reveals everything? Now she is a King.
"Oh, Mama Dora explained it to me."
"And who is that?" I said cautiously, trying to remember if there was an enemy of the Copper-Black Cross named Dora who might be behind this. But unfortunately the only Dora I know of is Dora the explorer from the children's program.
"Mama Dora is the one who gave me the power. Um, Authorities from the god I killed. And then there was something about the Circle of Usurpation."
"Wait, did you say Authorities? Like plural? EH! Circle of Usurpation, is that mother Dora you are talking about Pandora. The All Giving Woman?"
She nodded with her stupid and happy smile. "Yes. Pandora is Mama Dora."
Our conversation was interrupted by something that sounded like a high pitch squeal that reminded me of when one of the female Mages yells about something they like. Like a Singer or Movie star.
"Oh, it must be the boiling water. You can come down and eat whenever you want." Arianna said before she bowed and walked away.
"Heh, it's sounded a bit like Mama Dora."
"I-I I don't even know what questions to ask you right now."
"Can we do it while we eat. I'm starving. It feels like I've become a Saiyan instead of a godslayer."
I watched in amazement as a girl in my age who barely reaches my bosom, ate my body weight in food. Several paninis made from pork, chicken and spring vegetables. Boiled sausage. Prosciutto ham. Steamed vegetables topped with hand-made mayonnaise style sauce. Rabbit meat stewed with vegetables. Mineral water and Orange juice.
The only thing she didn't eat was horse meat and Arianna soups and stews. She only took a glance at it before taking it to the side. I don't remember telling her about Arianna's quirk. But is it possible that her campione instincts is warning her?
"It's just as I thought." Said Lucretia Zola who drank tea and eat one of the horse meat steaks that Godesu didn't want. "Just like Lord Salvatore. The appetite is truly unnatural. Say, do you remember what happened before you became unconscious."
"Yes. (Nom) Why (Nom) Shouldn't I."
"Please. King Kusanagi don't eat with your mouth full." Arianna asked while she put a soup in front of her. And just like before, she put it aside before she started eating carbonara.
"If I put myself into this conversation. Not only does it look like she remembers what happened before, but also remembers her encounter with Pandora."
At my words Lucretia perked up a bit. "Huh. I see. Even if you behave like Salvatore, you react differently to your rebirth. "She took a glance at all the plates that food was on an odd minute earlier." Almost completely different. But I think it's good if you get the message that was sent to you."
"Message?" Then she asked after she swallowed the food.
"Yes. From Melqart." I said and drew her gaze towards me. "Very soon I will recover all my power. When that time comes, take the place of that war god, my spears of fury will be aimed at you! Polish your sword and wait for my arrival". I said, mimicking his tone to bring out the seriousness of the situation. Which was something that I was unsure if she will do.
"Heh? I have to fight Melqart?" she said surprised. A trace of horror in her eyes before it is replaced by excitement. She smiled in a way that only someone who enjoys killing can. Something that wouldn't fit a lady, but it fits perfectly if you remember that she is a campione. "So I can get another authority?" I asked while her body vibrated for a second.
It is well known that when Campione's natural enemies appear. Their bodies react instinctively, filling themselves with power to prepare for battle. But it looks like just the thought of it can have a similar effect.
"Yes. But we don't know where he is. I could have helped. But I'm exhausted from the first time those gods fought. So I'm going to go to sleep after this. For one or six days." Lucretia said. Her movement minimal to save energy. I know it took a while to get on that dark purple dress she's wearing.
"Oh, I think I have an authority that can help with that. I think." Said the King with the last part uncertain. She then closed her eyes and concentrated. "I feel... Ten? Eleven authorities ?"
" Eleven!?" Lucretia said shocked. And I was the same. It has been heard of Devil Kings in history who have been given more than one authority from a god they have killed. But it has only been one extra. Eleven is unthinkable if.
"No... Ah ha!" "It is an authority that takes ten other forms. Oh, I see. The eleventh is for using the others. Like a nexus." She explained before she did something unexpected. She started speaking spell words. " I am the strongest bearer of victory! Obstructions, be dismissed from my path".
"Wait. Not in my house! You will destroy all spells and enchantment! Screamed Lucretia but it was too late. A golden light came from Godesu's hands and a golden sword came forth. And that was it. I could feel that none of the spells and enchantment around the house was broken. It had the power of a powerful ritual, but it was within human limit. But if this was a nexus as she said, then there's a chance that this isn't full power she can bring out.
She looked at the sword in front of her as if there was something wrong with it. It looked like the sword she took from Verethragna. The Warrior. But it don't glows. that was a golden sword that shone with power. This was more like a sword made of gold. I'm sure if I hit everything I can against it, it wouldn't even get a scratch. But it is far from what she had used against Verethragna.
"Yeah, I don't know how to use this." The comment took everyone off balance. Even though it's obvious that she knows something about how it works. She has no idea how to use it.
"So you can't do that. Or you don't know how?" I asked and try to understand how it works. If she is a danger, it is useful if I have the same level of understanding as her about her authority.
"Um... I think I need another chant."
"Can you do it except-" Lucretia tried to warn her again. But once again, the King didn't listen and said more words of power.
"Oh, I come for victory. For I am the greatest, the most beautiful. No. None is my equal in cuteness. Give me all your love and affection and spoilme, praise me!."
The golden light came from the sword and covered her. Lucretia fell back in her chair as the immense power of an authority came out. All minor enchantment and spell works around us broke because of the power the Japanese girl emanated.
When the light disappeared, all eyes came to her. The curiosity of what an authority from the youngest Campione looks like. But I had to blink when it looked like she was getting shorter. Her clothes no longer fit her. No, it was more like it was... Fluffier? And the sword shrank too?
I looked over her and there were two things that I noticed. One, she was was younger. Before, you could call her a short teenager. But now, she was around twelve years old. And she was... so... CUTE!
"IIIIK!" Arianna screamed and hugged the King. "You're the cutest thing I've ever seen." She said as she rubbed her cheek against Godesu's. And I could only agree with her. To see her fluffy hair, which I just wanted to pull my fingers through. Her big and innocent eyes that were much cuter than any puppy or kitten I've seen. It is like cuteness and innocence in human form. There was nothing else that I could say except she is the cutest thing I've seen.
And when she started to laugh from Arianna's affection, it was like a light came from it. I had a feeling in my stomach and I was full of energy. I've never screamed like the other girls when there was something that made them happy. But now it took everything I had to not do it and hug Godesu like Arianna- Wait, how did I get down here? Before I had even noticed it, I took my arms around Godesu and tucked my face into her hair.
OH MY LORD. I'm in fluff heaven.
" Purrrrr".
SHE CAN PURR LIKE A CAT?!
I have never come across anything so soft and smooth. I took a deep breath. And she smells like summer meadow. Sniff sniff. Full of roses.
"Don't forget what we were doing. Help me recover from expending all my magic. Lucretia said with a blush as she held out her arms. Like she wanted us to place Godesu in her arms.
I didn't want to let go of the fluff heaven and tightened my arms around her. And Arianna did the same. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be.
"That's right, yes." Little Godesu managed to slip out of our arms so smoothly that Arianna and I fell over each other on the floor. Godesu jumped up to Lucretia and sat in her lap and immediately got head pats which she happily accepted. "Ok, let me see." Her face wrinkled in a sweet way as she concentrated.
"So. Cute. She is thinking so hard," Arianna said under me.
"Ummm. Ah! Oh, umm"The god slayer started making noises like she realized something and then realized something else." I can see what the problem is. The condition is that the target must let go of her worldly bonds and pledge her soul to follow me for all eternity or else the Youth will not work."
Lucretia blinked twice and said uncertainly. " Yeah. I don't think I can let go of all my worldly bonds on command".
"Oh that's okay. We just met and all that." she said happily. "But I don't have any other way to help you." she said now in a sad tone.
My heartache at her sad expression.
"Oh, don't worry. Your cuteness was enough to give me the energy to use my Witch's Eye." At that, she turned her head to the side and looked up at Lucretia with curious eyes.
"What is that?" She asked like a twelve-year-old would.
"It is the most powerful Clairvoyance spell known to man. Letting one's sense of sight travel far and freely. And with Melqart being a god whose presence is spreading across the islands and he was on my front lawn two hours ago. I should be able to find him before I lose all my energy."
"Ok" She said happily. And cutely. Did I mention that she was cute.
Lucretia closed her eyes and concentrated. Magical energy came from her to use her spell. All the while she held Godesu as something dear and comfortable. I think it was unnecessary for her to hold her while she concentrated on her magic." I see. Melqart is on the island of Sicily. It looks like he is making a storm around the island and those around it. But it will take a day before it will have an effect on the land."
"Wait. Didn't Melqart say he'd sink the islands of his old territory." I said and got up from the ground. "He creates a storm to make it easier for him to sink the island. Melqart is a god of both sea and storm."
"It means that I have one day to understand my authority." Said Godesu in a cute way that only children who try to be serious can. But the serious face broke when her stomach growled and she held it embarrassed.
"Maybe you should master your authority after a few pancakes. I think I saw some chocolate syrup in the kitchen earlier," Arianna said. I tried to insist that we start immediately before someone dies, but then I saw Godesu's face. Her eyes were full of stars and saliva was running down from the side of her mouth. Normally I would think it's disgusting, but on her, it's just cute.
One hour later.
I sat behind Godesu while she ate her pancakes with the most radiant face I've ever seen. I was fixing her hair while she ate her pancake. She used to have black hair that reached down to her shoulders, but now it's down to her elbow. Even if her hair didn't shrink with her, it shouldn't be this long. It also looks like it has the habit of standing out a bit which gives the expression that she doesn't take care of her hair and is messy. And her personality doesn't help with that. So I took responsibility for taming her hair and styling it. Something that also makes her cuter. Somehow.
"Here are some more pancakes." Arianna put down more pancakes on Godesu's plate. If she eats the ones on the plate, she has eaten a total of twenty pancakes, and the chocolate syrup is running out.
"Tha(Num)s you A(Num)nna. They are (Num)ly yummy." She mumbled happily. I was almost finished getting her hair on the same level as mine. After all, a King can't have hair as wild as a monkey. Then she started to light up again.
When the light disappeared, it was the normal Kusanagi Godesu. But her hair was fixed in the same way its I just did, so my work wasn't unnecessary. work...
I just realized the power of The Youth. I know that authority can change when it is usurped by a Campione, and it looks like The Youth hade goes from absolute order that if you go against you would be punished, to cuteness on the same level as you would expect from a god of beauty or love.
In a way, I'm glad she doesn't have the power to make me do something against my will. But on the other hand, I will have a hard time not doing what she wants me to do with that authority. The scary part is that it's mostly looks that made it. All mind control effects were mild at most and what I can tell is just to draw attention. But the total cuteness can't block by any magic I have.
It reminds me of something that the Copper-Black Cross found not so long ago. Someone had managed to get permission from a Heretic Gods to take pictures of her naked. And with how her identity was Bastet the Egyptian goddess of cats. Her appearance is best described as... a Cat-girl.
Apparently, it took years to find all the photos. With how they could cost thousands of U.S. dollars, and their owners defended it with their lives, it was troublesome to get all of them. It was later discovered that Bastet had thrown a curse at the pictures and their copies. Even members of the Copper-Black Cross had tried to get hold of the photos they had already found. It's a good thing that the internet wasn't that big back then, but mages have theories that the popularity of cat girls is because of Bastet and her curse pictures.
"Ahhh, she's not so cute anymore." complained Arianna with more pancakes in hand.
"Not now. We have wasted enough time. Melqart will attack tomorrow at the earliest. And if what you said is true, you have ten authorities to learn. And with how Melqart is a King Class God, you're going to have to get used to every one of them." I said, now with a head clear from super duper cute Godesu... Ok, maybe not clear.
"Ok, but can I finish my pancakes?"
"No," I said before remembering that she was a King with a mysterious background.
"Ok," she said happily and jumped off the chair. Apparently she didn't mind me ordering her, or didn't really realize what a Campione is.
"Ok, I'm here!" Shouted the little king. We had gone to the ruins we fought against Melqart and Verethragna. The land after a fight between two gods and the rebirth place of a King has an abundance of magical energy that I can possibly use. And more usefully, help Godesu use her new authorities. The land is full of Verethragna's energy that can help her understand them.
"Ok, you can start when I've set up the barrier," I said before pulling out Cuore di Leone. " For the sake of maintaining order in Rome, the Senate decreed the suspension of imperium! O Steel of the Lion, layest thyself down as the foundation." Cuore di Leone transformed into a chain with ten links, shining with silver luster. The chain's head and tail ends joined together to form a circular chain. "Senatus consultum ultimum, hereby decreed. Ok, you can start." With Senate's consultum ultimum defense, me and Arianna should be find, if it's not an attack aimed against us.
"Okidoki." The godslayer raised her sword and began her own incantation. " Oh wind, carry me forward. To save the damsel in distress." The sword started and a strong wind came from her. After looking confused for a second, she smiled like an idiot and started swinging her sword around. And strong wind follows after. "Awesome! The Gale lets me control the winds!" She played with the authority some more. Completely unaware that she is flipping her skirt completely upside down.
"Should we say we can see her panties?" Arianna asked.
"No, she's seen us in less than that. Especially you. All while she was wearing the clothes that she has now." I said. It feels good to embarrass her after that night. The revenge is not big, but you take what you can from a Campione.
"Heh, we should get her new clothes." said Arianna and I realized that she had a point. We have washed and repaired it with magic, but it is still clothes that have been covered with her own blood and mud from her battel and rebirth.
"I wonder... Hay Erica. Can you call my name and be in danger?" She asked. I wondered how I was going to do that while we were under the Senatus consultum ultimum. The reason I used it was so that we wouldn't be in danger. "Wait. I think I came up with something else!" She said before throwing the sword. I wondered what she was doing before she summoned it back to her hand." Nice, teleporting." She said and threw the sword again, but something must have gone wrong because instead of teleporting the sword to her hand, she came to the sword. The swords is Flyinge through the air.
We saw her fall to the ground while screaming. She crashed a bit away were we couldn't see her behind the ruins.
"I'm ok!"
But I don't have to worry.
She was back to where she was before. Sword now in hand and ready to use the next Incarnation. "All evildoers, tremble before my strength... Upon my mighty self, I shall bear the symbol of the raging camel." Her sword shone and changed shape. On The Youth and The Gale, there were no major changes. The only thing was that The Youth's blade became shorter. But now it became more bent. A Persian style Scimitar. This must be an authority for combat.
She swings around the sword and I could see that after three slashes her technique and footwork improved. Then it was like I was watching a master of the sword showing her technique, and then she started kicking with her legs. It looked like she had mastered the sword for a lifetime before she mastered the art of kicking the next, and another lifetime to bring the two together into one fighting style.
"Hey, look at me." She said before she held the sword in a reverse grip and started spinning on a leg. She picked up speed and spun at a speed most people can't even tolerate for a second.
"Um, Miss Erica. Do you know what she's doing?"
"I'm not sure. If I had to guess, it's part of the authority. But I don't know anything about Verethragna or camels that have anything to do with this."
"Then it's something she made up on the spo-" Arianna was interrupted when something at high speed crashed against the barrier. If it weren't for Senate's consultum ultimum, it would have hit her right in the face. "Aaah!"
"Calm down Arianna, it is just." I looked towards the blue thing that is sliding down the barrier. "Wait, is that a skirt?"
That's when Godesu stopped spinning. Her foot glows like a sword straight out of the forge. " Red leg of the devil. Diable Jambe", She said and held up the glowing foot as if she was about to kick, her arms were up like a boxer and still holding the sword in a reverse grip, clearly prepare for incoming attacks. With how her glowing foot lit her face up, her serious attitude, and this was something she did within a minute of using this authority for the first time, it would have been terrifying. But with how we can see her pink panties with a teddy bear... yes, it's not as scary as it should have been.
"Um, Lord Kusanagi. Your... Um". Arianna pointed down at the ground where her skirt is. It was quiet between us while she looked at us, then to the skirt and then at herself. She repeated it a couple of times before screaming out.
"Kyaaaa!" She pulled her shirt down to try to cover her chastity while she blushed. "No, this shouldn't happen to me! I'm the MC, this should only happen to the girls around me. Not me!"
A blood vessel almost broke when I heard that. I realized how she viewed this situation now. "Hey, are you saying that we are the ones who should lose our clothes for your entertainment. That the world would revolve around you?" I asked in a tone full of anger. Logically, I knew that talking to a King like this was a bad idea, but that she thinks she's the main character in something that I can only guess is something lewd annoyed me beyond reason.
She realized my anger and looked at me with fear. "Um, did I say that out loud? Am I in trouble?"
I went back to where Arianna was standing and preparing to cast the Senatus consultum ultimum, again. "Wow Erica. I have never seen anyone beat a Campione with just their own fist."
"Yes, yes. Let's move to the next authority. We are ready!"
"Yes, madam." Said Godesu, a big bump on her head. The only reason I probably won't regret hitting her is that she doesn't understand how much power she has politically, and there's a chance I can convince her not to if I look cute enough. But I don't know if my the patience to survive until then.
She held her sword and concentrated. Then she looked around. "Um, I need something heavy, or strong. The condition to use The Bull is to fight something with inhuman strength, like a bear, or an object with a large mass coming at him, like a train or boulder."
I looked around. There was nothing that we could use for that. I can summon a giant metal lion, but I need Cuore di Leone free for that. And I use it as defense right now. "I don't see anything that we can use for that. We can try later. But if it don't work, try another."
"Ok." She tried again and it worked this time. " Come to me, for the victory! Immortal Sun, lend me a quick, shining steed. Fire of the Sun that dispels the dark, may it engulf you." The sword shone much more than any of the other authority, and I understood why. It was the same authority that Verethragna gave her. Like Apollo, Verethragna was said to have carried the sun across the sky in a horse-drawn chariot. So this one sun author-
BOOOM!
A blinding exploding broke me out of my thoughts. I pulled Arianna down to the ground before Senatus consultum ultimum broke under the pressure. Warm air rushed over us. When it ended I looked up, a big hole in the ground where Godesu stood.
Did... Did she blow herself up? What happened? Is she dead? If she's dead, who's going to fight Melqart? Lord Salvatore is out of the country and with the storm I don't know if he will make it back in time.
I ran towards the crater and looked down into it. I am met with an interesting sight. The sword hovers above her, light comes over her and heals all her wounds. When it was finished, it descended towards Godesu and went into her. Whatever authority it was, it healed all wounds, if not resurrected her.
"Is she ok?" I heard behind me and Arianna stopped beside me. "Heh, it reminds me of that Dragon Ball series. When that Yamsha died in an explosion. They are in the same position." She mumbled.
"Stop talking about unnecessary things. We have big things to worry about."
"That she's naked?"
I blinked at her words and looked again. Whatever authority it was, it didn't do anything to her clothes. "Heh, I didn't expect it to be us who saw her naked first." Revenge is sweet.
Kusanagi Godesu POV
I sat in the white void again. I could feel two pairs of eyes on me.
"It has barely been four hours since you were here." Pandora pointed out.
"We hadn't even stopped arguing with each other." Said the voice of the Will Of The World.
"Sorry mamma Dora."
Pandora screamed happily and held me in a hug. "It's ok, I can never get mad at a sweet pie like you."
"I just want to point out that a mother shouldn't have a favorite child."
"And why should I listen to you, Will?"
"Don't call me that."
Heh, it looks like mom Dora has found some other way to hit him.
"But there is not much time left now. Listen. Even considering the entire history of mankind, you are a unique god-slayer. There is no point for you to emulate anyother person. It would be utter stupidity. Consequently, please, always stay true to yourself. I know there is this other you, but you are you. Fight like yourself."
"So what? Should I not use my knowledge? And make my own way?" I ask, unsure what she meant.
"Yes. Follow your heart and let instinct guide you. Fight smartly with craftiness. Only by doing this will you become the strongest fool on earth. There is no need to worry yourself too much. The grand enchantment for a person's rebirth as a god-slayer... There are many strange aspects to it, probably because it is such a preposterous process after all. For example, the condition of 'no matter what, only actual combat works or the like. Since god-slayers only resemble humans in appearance but are actually more like demonic beasts inside, it's
only natural to progress like wild beasts, no "
"So, even if I use my authorities, I won't get better at using them?"
"Yes! God-slayers' authorities can only be honed on the battlefield through actual combat. But that's totally fine, after all, ancient warriors were the same. As long as you kill enough enemies, you will become powerful " She said happily.
"I see. I wanted to see what my authorities are. What I have is not The Persian Warlord. It's something new." excitement rose up inside me. "But just walking towards Melqart without knowing how most of my powers work sounds fun." Huh, not my authority. "I know." I rise up." I'm going to call my authority the Nemesis Sword." I said and held up my hand, The Nemesis Sword came out of nowhere, and now I made a He-Man pose. But without the flash.
I could hear, Will? Yes, I like that name. I could hear Will clapping at me and Pandora said hurray. And then I got dizzy and fell asleep.
It was fun. If you look in the light novel, we're on vol 11, because the timeline is weird like that. But I won't follow the same story. Like how they found out Melqart location was a mage who help them, then he attacked Godou and a landmark broke and it was the first time he used his authorities. I thought it would be boring if she did the same thing. Plus, they didn't go through the same beginning as in the light novel, like Arianna, I think Godou met her in Japan for the first time. So yes, I have changed things.
Something that I liked was Erica. In the anime, we saw her go from "You're so annoying, you don't know anything." And then in ep 2. "I am his lover." In Vol 11 we can see she didn't immediately start to love him when he became a Campinoe. So yes, it took her up a couple of degrees in my book. She's not a gold digger. Power digger? You get the idea.
Then we have how she sees Godesu. Yep, she saw that something was wrong. She doesn't know what, but something is. Whether she will find it or something will have to wait and see.
I was going to go through all the Godesu authorities. But then I realized that this is more fun. And what Pandora said is straight out of vol 11. I am reading at the same time I'm writing this and changing my plans as I go. I've already read the Melqart fight, now I'm on the Doni fight.
When it comes to the Bastet part. I searched for gods of beauty to use for the curse pictures. And on a list of 13 Goddesses Of Beauty To Study & Work With , Bastet was 8 and they chose a picture of her as a cat girl instead of her normal cat head. The fact that they chose a picture of her as a cat girl was so funny for me that I decided to use her instead of Hathor, another god of Egypt. So yes, now it's canon in this fic that Bastet made the cat girl popular instead of the other way around like in real life.
I've learned so much about her that I think I'll use her in this story. My imagination has already figured out how. And let me say that it will be a cat fight, or cat and snake fight.
Senatus consultum ultimum is a spell that Erica uses in vel 11, which is between Ep 1 and 2 of the anime. I couldn't find them on the wiki.
But that's all for today. If you have questions or if something is wrong, review it. It also helps for the next chapter to come out faster.
