    <span style="font-weight:400">Chapter 172: Wrecking Chaos and Rescuing My Goddess


    <span style="font-weight:400">—


    <b>[Third Person Point of View]</b>


    <i><span style="font-weight:400">Bullshit.</i><span style="font-weight:400"> Kuroka cursed in her head as she watched the boy massacre gods and heroes as if he were on a Tuesday walk. <i><span style="font-weight:400">He''s bullshit! How in the world is he that powerful?!</i>


    <span style="font-weight:400">Although Aqua didn''t know her, she knew him. The fight between Riser Peerage and Rias Peerage was free for all to see on the Devil Net. Kuroka had seen the video and noticed the powerful Qi technique that her little sister used.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She researched about itter on, and that''s when she learned about Aqua. He was the one who taught Koneko the “Dancing Dew of the Morning Lotus” technique.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Since then, she has developed an interest in him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">That interest had broken through all limits today, and it''s not wrong to say that she was ovting at the beastly smell of a tiger she smelled from him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Unfortunately, she could bet that he''ll kill her right after dealing with the remaining members of the Hero Faction. She hadn''t even bullied that Goddess, in fact she joined this little faction <i><span style="font-weight:400">after</i><span style="font-weight:400"> the capture of Gxara, but she doubted Aqua would stand still and listen to her exnation.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She needed to escape, she wasn''t willing to die in thisnd far from her home.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hey, you,” she turned to Zhuge Liang, the little girl adorned in Taoist robes. “Can you bring us out of here? I know you have a teleportation-type ability…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">The girl''s eyes trembled at that and she nodded. She did have an ability like that. Her Sacred Gear, [<b>Strategy Trap</b><span style="font-weight:400">] allowed her to create small holes out of thin air that can transport both people and items through them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She must be scared, but since Kuroka has been standing over her and protecting her for a while now, she trusts her more than the others on this battlefield. “B-but won''t he notice us… and take us out if we try to flee?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“True, he might, but,” she chewed on her lips and then looked at Vali. She licked her lips and narrowed her eyes at the White Dragon Emperor who''d been frozen on his spot for a while now. She had an idea. She leaned over to the little girl and whispered, “Listen, we…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">She would apologize to the angry tiger in the future, be it in his bed, but today she''d rather survive than embrace a meaningless death.


    <span style="font-weight:400">-「<b><i>Happy nation, livin'' in a happy nation, Where the people understand and dream of a perfect man…</i></b><span style="font-weight:400">」


    <span style="font-weight:400">****


    <span style="font-weight:400">Jeanne’s eyes were cloudy from all this. Her entire faction was <i><span style="font-weight:400">dead</i><span style="font-weight:400">, most of them anyway, and if she was not careful, she''d be the next.


    <i><span style="font-weight:400">How can he be so heartless?! </i><span style="font-weight:400">She asked herself in her head. <i><span style="font-weight:400">Wasn''t he a human by birth too? How can he be so demonic?!</i>


    <span style="font-weight:400">Aqua’s footwork left her and the rest of the spectators in a daze. He moved around like a zap of lightning, the entire grand rooftop being the stage for an angry bull’s dance. He didn''t attack anybody, not just yet, he was waiting for something. None of the Devas attacked his people either, the Satan Leviathan and the Jaguar girl. They didn''t want to be taken out for offending him, so they just kept their guards up and tried to follow his movements.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Only Wukong remained engaged with the Dragon Goddess in the sky, their battle only growing more intense.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Aqua encircled the area, trying to confuse the crowd on who he would attack next. Of course, his target was Cao Cao, the Hero Faction knew. More than Indra and his devas, he was madder at the Heroes. To him, the other Gods could wait.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Cao Cao took out a Phoenix Tear, moving sneakily, and about to heal his arm, when Aqua appeared in front of him and shed the potion into the floor.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Heracles punched at him, but he was gone as fast as he came.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Jeanne growled. <i><span style="font-weight:400">What is Indra doing?! He is standing around for what?!</i><span style="font-weight:400"> It took her a moment to realize he must be waiting for Aqua to run out of energy.


    <span style="font-weight:400">That enraged her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...Die!” Jeanne shouted and tapped her foot on the ground when her eyes caught Aqua for the briefest moment. That tap sent a mountain of holy swords spiking from the ground at him, her Sacred Gear. It was quite an impressive Sacred Gear.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“<b>de cksmith…</b><span style="font-weight:400">!” she shouted, and a wave of holy swords of different affinities rushed toward him. She was a bane for any devils, but sadly he wasn''t an evil entity, at least the Holy Swords didn''t count him as one. So they couldn''t be the most effective against him. Yet, she didn''t stop.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“<b>de cksmith</b><span style="font-weight:400">!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“<b>de cksmith</b><span style="font-weight:400">!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“<b>de cksmith</b><span style="font-weight:400">-”


    <span style="font-weight:400">She interrupted herself when he abruptly appeared behind her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He danced like a spark of lightning, using that weird [<b>Time Icon</b><span style="font-weight:400">] to speed himself up, and now he was suddenly behind her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Shit-” she cried, as his sword approached her neck.


    <span style="font-weight:400">What has she done to deserve all of this?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">What did her faction do?! How were they supposed to know he was rted to this foreign Goddess? No, even if it''s this bitch who''s behind all of it, they didn''t even hurt her much.


    <span style="font-weight:400">To begin with, it was on Indra''smand that they captured her. And it''s also him who wanted to turn the Goddess into a weapon, then why was this bastard taking out his anger on the Hero Faction?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No you don''t!” Cao Cao swung his spear at him just as he appeared behind his friend, or maybe she was more than just a friend. He didn''t know, nor did he care.


    <span style="font-weight:400">His spear passed through an illusion, and his hand mmed into Jeanne’s neck from behind. She was turning around just then, but it was toote; heunched her against a pir, pushing her against it, and hit her crotch with a knee.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Keugh-!” She let out a painful gasp, her mouth wide open, and he slid his sword up her mouth just then.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“NO, JEANNE!!” her people yelled, but it was toote. Aqua''s sword, the same one that belonged to her friend, went into her mouth and came out of her skin, her eyes red and bloody.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Jeanne''s world turned ck, and she died.


    <span style="font-weight:400">****


    <span style="font-weight:400">Another “<b>Soul Magic: Tomb Raider</b><span style="font-weight:400">.” was enough to scavenge her useful sacred gear, that I put into my Void Storage.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I didn''t have to rush towards Cao Cao and Heracles this time. They rushed at me, the user of the True Longinus running at me like a madman.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I grinned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Time to end them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“<b>Eternal Magic</b><span style="font-weight:400">,” I took in a deep breath, “<b>Discrimination of Time</b><span style="font-weight:400">.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was the same spell I had used against the Jaguar Warrior back in the day.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The world slowed down for all except me. The two humans moved like slugs, and my de cut through their nerves as my legs carried me around them. I moved like a graceful sage, my de cutting them at the right parts, and not beheading them from the get-go.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I wanted them to feel it. To see their team die at my hands. I didn''t want to make it fast for them. That''s why I let them live for this long, anyway.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But now, it was enough.


    <span style="font-weight:400">My de sliced through them, even as the two of them tried to block. Cao Cao was too slow, even if his spear was sturdy and could block my sword. All I had to do was avoid his spear and attack from another angle.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Heracles was a much simpler man. He had too much trust in his body, he crossed his arms and hoped for the best, and I cut him in two from head to crotch.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Discrimination of Time ended; time came back to its usual rhythm, and two bodies fell on the floor with a thud, and I gently sheathed my sword. I also deposited the True Longinus into my Void Storage, as well as Heracles’s Variant Detonation.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Now…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">I turned to the little Chinese girl.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Now only you-” I blinked as I saw her slip into a hole in space, right behind the sly Kuroka who dared send a flying kiss at me.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Of course, I tried to shut the spatial hole down on top of her, slicing her into two, but it didn''t work. An opposing force worked to stop it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Vali Lucifer, already on the other side of the hole, had used the White Dragon''s full authority to stop me from shutting it down. Well, he only dyed it for a second, not exactly stopping me, but the result was all the same. Zhuge Liang had fled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Fuck.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Annoying ants.


    <span style="font-weight:400">[<b>It''s fine, my child</b><span style="font-weight:400">.] My Goddess’ soothing voice boomed in my head. [<b>The little girl was a new member of the faction, she had joined after I was captured. Plus she was kind to me. I was going to ask you to spare her, but she escaped. Ah, and the two others weren''t even part of this group at all, they worked for the greater faction above it</b><span style="font-weight:400">.]


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hah,” I scoffed. “Still, I didn''t expect the proud White Dragon to flee. What a weak cunt.” I shrugged my shoulders.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zhuge Liang, if she''s a new member, does not count as a part of the group. So I''ll let her be since my Goddess asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And that means the Hero Faction has just been wiped out from the face of Earth.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I heaved out a short breath and looked at the Gods remaining on the rooftop. “Come at me already, weren''t you guys waiting for this?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Aquamarine,” Indra took a step forward, his hand clutching his shirt and pulling it off to reveal copper gold muscles. His face was a concentration of rage and anger as he pulled off the Buddhist jewel around his neck. The beads dropped and rolled on the ground, and my eyes matched his. “I''ll put an end to your sinful existence today.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“And I’ll leave your realm annihted,” Our eyes met, our expression serious and filled with rage, and we kicked the ground to sh with the might of deities.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I drew my back to perform the Vagabond Form Three, while Indra prepared his Vajra for an attack I assumed was his ultimate. Our sh would certainly leave this city of Gods destroyed, but we didn’t care—it was far toote to care for that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Our attacks met.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And two gentle hands blocked both of them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Svarga wasn’t destroyed by the impact, no, our sh umted zero damage as a four-armed, sky-blue-skinned deity floated between the two of us.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The sun that had dimmed and vanished let out it''s light again, as a beacon of hope was in the battlefield.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Gentlemen,” Vishnu the Preserver, the Preserver of Hinduism, looked at us with an easy look in his eyes, while a song began to y overhead beside my own. “Let us put a stop to this nonsense battle.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">I scowled, about to put a test to his title as the Preserver, when I noticed something.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The [<b>Aegis Icon</b><span style="font-weight:400">] shone overhead beside my [<b>Time Icon</b><span style="font-weight:400">] and Indra’s <span style="font-weight:400">[<b>Storm Icon</b><span style="font-weight:400">]. But that''s not what I meant, it''s the other Icon that shone, the [<b>Crown Icon</b><span style="font-weight:400">]... but it didn’te from me.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The new song that I noticed earlier wasn’t from Vishnu’s Icon, but this one.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Guitar strings hit the air, and the world hummed. A Goddess of celestial dignity came down from the skies, her eight hands spread behind her while her main two were crossed in front of her. Hindi lyrics I failed to understand filled the skies, but I recognized the song since it’s quite famous nowadays in the 2030s.


    <span style="font-weight:400">-「<b><i>Hook~.... Door na jana, Tu mujhse door, Door na jana, Tu mujhse door...</i></b><span style="font-weight:400">」


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was the song [<b>Maharani</b><span style="font-weight:400">], which meant “Queen”. I guess that’s a fitting song if any for the divine Godmother of Hinduism.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The pressure of an entire Pantheon fell on my shoulders, as dagger-like eyes locked with mine. The Goddess’ eyes seemed to challenge me to make a single move and see what she''d do.


    <i><span style="font-weight:400">Arrogant woman</i><span style="font-weight:400">. I almost red my Qi at her, but what Indra did next made me stop.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“O’ Great Durga,” Indra bowed, immediately pulling back his killing intent in her presence. I clicked my tongue and did the same.


    <span style="font-weight:400">-「<b><i>Haanji haanji dedo mic pe light ab, Hai Bolna boht kuch toh kholdi bottle, And I swear to God this ain''t that liqour talk, Mujhe ni karna flex par ye bandi aisi...</i></b><span style="font-weight:400">」


    <span style="font-weight:400">Fuck. How anticlimactic.


    <span style="font-weight:400">These two didn’te here to fight, I could feel their intention, so it''d be unwise to make them my enemies right now. I was about to tap into my other Icons and deal with Indra, and even Vishnu when he first intervened, but to deal with Durga too will be suicide. Using too many Icons will use up my Qi and willpower like a jet ne, and I might as well just pass out.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Wukong,e down,” Durga said gently, and the Monkey King quit shing with Quetzalcoatl and dropped beside Indra, crossing his arms and looking the other way with a grunt.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Quetzalcoatl’s draconic shadow grew smaller, and she too dropped to the ground, standing beside me with her arm around my shoulder. She wore a wide grin, looking at the bleeding monkey, while she remained mostly uninjured. She hadn’t even gone serious in the battle.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I hope you understand what you’re doing, Goddess,” Durga said to the serpent who shrugged her shoulders.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Of course, I took Shiva’s side by fighting against Indra. Shouldn’t you be happy?” she asked, and Durga frowned without a word.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The Godmother turned to me next, “If you’re here for thatdy over there, just take her and leave. I do not wish to see you any longer, you who brought destruction upon Svarga.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Indra’s head snapped, “But mydy, she-”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Silence, Indra.” the Maharani red at him. “You dare raise your voice when I’m here to help you out, despite your plotting against my husband? Be grateful and stand in a corner.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“....” Indra’s jaws shut tight, while Vishnu rubbed the back of his head with a light chuckle.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I don’t mind,” I said, looking at Durga. “I’ll take her and leave. Free her first.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Durga frowned at me for my tone, but Vishnu waved it off. “Let him be. I’ll go free her,” Vishnu said, and a momentter he was beside Gxara. He touched the chains with a hand and they turned into golden dust instantly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He looked at me from there, and I teleported beside him. “Now take this troublesomedy and leave. And I hope I won’t regret not punishing you, young man. Stay safe out there.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’ve done nothing punish worthy,” I said, looking him in the eye, “Shiva should try being grateful to me for helping him out this much by lowering his enemies.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Big words, big words,” the Preserved shrugged and teleported back to Durga, who was looking at me with her dagger-like eyes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I ignored her and approached my Goddess, who was coughing. I gently took her into my arms like a princess and looked into her eyes. I’ve never held her like this before, her words had alwayse to me via telepathy or Gaya System Messages. Yet, I felt that her smell was nostalgic. She felt like a piece of… the past. I loved holding her so close to me.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll heal you,” I said and snapped a finger, casting [<b>Time Heal</b><span style="font-weight:400">] that left her shining like a diamond for a moment, erasing her wounds. “Great.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Thank you,” she smiled up at me, locking her arms around my neck. “I’m looking forward to seeing your new home… I’ll take a nap till then?” She asked gently, and I nodded. My Goddess rested her head on my neck and closed her eyes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I teleported beside Quetzalcoatl and pulled Serafall and Yohtli beside us with a wave of my Qi. They looked at me, and at all the Gods around us, knowing they were all enemies to us. I guess they must be thinking that if Durga and Vishnu had chosen to fight instead, we’d have been in serious trouble.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Be careful next time, Indra,” I looked at the God Emperor, “I <i><span style="font-weight:400">will</i><span style="font-weight:400"> kill you if you try anything, next time not even the whole pantheon can save your fuck up. Go pray to Brahma so that your foolish choice does not result in your people’s untimely death.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">As the Eternal Sorcerer, I was powerful enough to p all these Gods and leave without a scratch on my robes. However, that wouldn’t be the case soon enough. I had to make sure this fool didn’t try to fight me anytime soon, and hopefully my threats would work wonders.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I had killed many Devas and even took out a powerful one like Surya. The sun of Vedas had dimmed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You foolish mongrel!” Indra shouted in pure rage. “How dare you-!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Goodbye, puny God.” I scoffed at his face and snapped my finger to teleport us out of Svarga. Our surroundings shone for a moment before Hoshino Households indoors cleared up to us.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I let out a heavy sigh.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I’ve returned home… with my Goddess in my arms.
