Trinity: omniverse traveling cat - 94 the dusck of the gods era finale
Higher in the Booth, Loki was ashen white at the result, everything has started to well, and Ottar had led the three in false security, that they all share the same level, but mid-fight, he completely obliterated Riviera, deprived of the long-range and support fighter, Gareth has been the next to fall, leaving Finn alone before he was utterly crushed by the Boaz.
Relishing in her victory, Freya couldn’t help but look imperiously at Loki, all past friendship and relation forgotten.
“Seems like Loki Familia is no more, I will give you until the end of the day before I march on the Twilight manor and reclaim the rest of my news members.” Rising, she left the private booth, leaving Loki behind, gritting her teeth.
She still doesn’t know how she was able to hide it for so long. Ottar strength wasn’t one of a new level 7, she couldn’t accept the fact that once again she had been tricked. The war game was a golden opportunity, she could have completely crushed Freya, but she was the one who crumbles. Even then, they were no use, he stronger children were out of commission and will need some serious healing.
This worried her the most, she doesn’t have the resources or the people to heal them. Potions have simply vanished from the markets a few days ago, without raw material the pharmacists had the same fate as all supporter Familia.
Looking down, she sees Freya exit the colosseum with her children. She was now left with only Finn, Gareth, and Riviera, all the others here to cheers on them were now Freya’.
‘Bete, Lefiya, Tione, Tiona, Raul, Anakitty, Alicia, Navri, Cruz, Rakta, Line, Elfy, Ais… Wait, Ais isn’t here!’
Looking again at the group, she could see that Freya seems contraried, confirming that the golden-haired 13 years old girls weren’t with them. It was only then that she remembers that she was once again with Alex.
At first, she was against her seeing him as he was not only from Hestia Familia but also a male. She always had seen her children like her, but now all were stolen from her due to her greed.
While her thoughts were racing on how she could use the boy to exchange from a few of her news past adventurers, knowing that Freya had to keep an eye on him since his arrival, she barely see the green orbs reflecting in the glass looking at her in fury before a blade plunge in her back, severing her spine. Before she could even emit a sound, her surrounding change just before she felt her soul being ripped apart of her body and losing forever her consciousness.
#############################
Alex look scornfully at the new soul orb in his hand. After dealing with Ouranos, he goes to speak with Loki, thinking that he could help her a little until he invades her throughs the reflection of the glass. When he sees that she was about to sell him out for further her wounded greed, any good feeling he had for her die.
Knowing now that Freya was after him, he exits the warded booth and apparates behind the shop. Entering from the back door, he came just in time to see that Hephaistos, Hestia, Tsubaki, and Lily were about to go outside.
Connecting with the wards of the land, he immediately shut them down. Hearing the door shut close, all surprised.
“Don’t go outside, Loki just lost to Freya, I need to go take Ais before she put her paws on her.”
“But that doesn’t really concern us?” Ask Hestia to him.
“It wouldn’t, if Freya hadn’t had an interest in me, now that the Loki Familia protection has ceased to be, who do you think she would come after next?”
The four whiten at this.
“Go back to the house and don’t exit it, I won’t be gone long.”
“Wait!” He was to go when Tsubaki voice herself. “I will go with you.”
He shakes his head at her words, while happy she wants to help, he couldn’t allow her.
“Thanks, but I will be faster alone.”
“What if you cross path with them? While I’m not active anymore, I not a slouch either.”
“Thank you for wanting to help, but if we are two, it would only slow me down as I can take two people with me, more so, she had taken all of them with her straight away.”
Without letting her enough time to respond, he apparates away.
“What the hell is that, didn’t his profile say that he can’t do magic?” Yell Tsubaki
“I understand now why he didn’t want me to let them appear.”
“What do you meant Hestia?”
“Just that Alex asked me to erase his skill and magic, he says that only moron let their enemy know their ability to counteract them.
“Even then, are you sure that he would be alright?”
“Don’t worry Hephaistos, he shouldn’t be too long.” Just has she finish, Alex reappears with Ais in his arms, making Lily and Hestia pout.
“Don’t look like that you two, but I think it time that I came clear with something. You all know that Orario is lost, nothing will be like before again. With Freya at the head of the strongest Familia, every new adventurer that will come her would fall under her. Now it’s time from all five of you to make a choice. You could all stay here and live under her rule or came with me.” Seeing that they were about to spoke he stop them. “Before you choose, you must understand that if you follow me it wouldn’t be without consequences, for you two Hestia, Hephaistos, it would mean losing your divinity and became truly human. As for you three, that signifies the loss of your Flana. No more Extalia, no more progression, all would stop right here right now.”
All were cut short, this wasn’t an easy decision, even more for Ais, it would mean throwing away her dream, but on the other side, she wouldn’t be able to see him anymore. The first to made her choice was Lily. Throwing herself at him she let her decision be known.
“I will go with Alex-sama, you save me from them and free me from Soma Familia, I will go with you.” For her greatest joy, a hand came patting her head, being well trained by Alex, she rapidly became nothing more than a pile of goo under his hand.
Unable to be left out, Hestia throws herself at him too, burying his head in her breasts.
“I won’t leave that thieving cat take you for her alone!”
While staying silent, Ais tug lightly on his sleeve, looking at him with a determined gaze, soon earning head pat too, easing her features. Seeing the four behavings like a problem child, Hephaistos sigh before looking at Hestia with a fond gaze.
“Well, Hestia did help me when all abandon me, so why not, it not like I have more to lost, and if I can get rid of my divinity, then I will finally be able to enjoy something else, so I’m In.”
“I will follow Hephaistos too.”
Hearing them, Alex couldn’t help but smile yet again, all were at least a good friend, and he was happy that they choose to follow him. Taking him and of the girl’s head before taking Hestia off his face, much for their displeasure, he waves at the two to came nearer.
“Hold on me.”
All five do so, before being taken somewhere else. When they feel the warm sunray, they all look around. Having landed in the square between the houses, the arrival was rapidly noticed, making another group to exit the smallest house.
“Everyone, let me present you Ais, Hestia, Lily, Hephaistos, and Tsubaki.”
“Hestia, Hephaistos, as in…?”
“Yes, Hermione, as in the Greek mythology. I will let you all make acquittance, I have few things to deal with on the other side before we’re good.”
Before any of the five could ask any question, he vanishes again while they were rapidly dragged in the house that would soon be too small for all of them.
######################################
Reappearing in the shop, he didn’t take long to deconstruct everything, storing all of them in the storage, the same thing for the house. The plot cleaned, he starts to work on all standing around. Only deconstructing them, he let the elves take those enormous blocks of rock to the territory.
Done, he pops to the previous shop of Hephaistos, sending everything to the territory for the goddess, following the workshop came to her office before he hit all the previous supporter Familia and the stock they leave behind.
Since Loki was now dead, he also hit the Twilight manor before all the other gods’ place that where left behind as they were sent back to heaven. The guild takes the burn off the heaviest raid of all, every bit of crystals in their possessions was taken, leaving only the money behind as it would be a need for the future adventurers to exchange from the crystals they gather.
Slipping past the guards, he starts his biggest work. Taking out all the soul orbs and block of white marble, he erects a hundred statues at the effigies of the orb’ they hold. All those statues were life-size of their previous mortal appearance, tending the orb to those that would try to receive the blessing, with a warm gaze on their face.
For each of them, he put a silver board with a personal resume of each of their authorities and what they search in adventurers. The sky painting was left untouched, but on each side of the door, a giant statue of Hestia and Hephaistos appear, looking and each that would pass them to enter the dungeon.
Like the other gods’ statue he leaves a silver board, but with all that happen before and lead to the event of those past weeks he names the ‘Dusk of gods era’. Once all in place, he starts to pour every bit of magic in him that he could, soon triggering the large sealing matrice formed by those hundred statues.
Leaving behind instruction on how to obtain the new blessing and how to obtain an update, he finally receives the completion message.
{[Hidden Objective: Side. “The end of God era.”
For the last thousand years, the gods have ascended to the lower world and take the race leaving below as their plaything. It time to put an end to the slavery humanity is subject to.
Condition: Seal at least 100 gods and erect a new pantheon for adventurers to receive blessings without the meddling of the past gods and seal correctly the dungeon to protect the outside world of monsters.
[Completed, unclaimed.]
Nodding at this, he goes for his two final tasks. Poping to the place an elf has brought him in the past day, he silently appears in the chamber of an unaware goddess who was actually having sex with her Familia captain. Before any of the two could remark his presence, the two were impaled with a single blade. Looking in the eyes of the disbelieved Freya, he tears off both of their souls before crushing them to nothingness. In a rapid apparition burst, every criminal in the Familia was deal with while all too far in their alcohol to react.
Done, he goes for the last. Apparating soundlessly he faces a slumbering dark, scaly mass. Putting a hand on it, he pops in the territory. The second he does so, the dragon began to stir, unwilling to take any chance, he rips it, soul, out of its body, leaving behind only a soulless shell. Tearing apart the left-over the soul, the body slowly starts to be recovered in a dark and red edge light, the hulking mass rapidly shrinks in size before leaving only a human-shaped body.
Her long golden hair and feature immediately tell him who it was. He rapidly calls an elf for them to take care of her while also be sure to warn Ais of the presence of her mother.
###############################
After a complete week passed with then, he finally decide to claim the reward.
“Ok, CS, I think we’re done, claim the reward.”
-OK, wait, what that!?-
“CS what happen?”
Before he could obtain a response, he feels another presence forcefully making its way in the territory. When he looks at it, he lost all color.
“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.”
With every word of denial, the man smile became more and more maniacal, taking a rainbow-sparkling dagger, he throws it at Alex’s feet, opening a greenish portal. Before he could vanish, Alex could only mutter a “Why?” Helplessly looking at the man who burst into a maniacal laugh before vanishing.
