Gatcha Life is for me! Chapter 6
Added 2025-08-20 12:34:29 +0000 UTCOut of the two ten pulls I did, most of it was garbage, obviously, but there were some exceptions obviously, like the Vibroknife had some potential if I fused some more stuff into it. Likewise, the Honkai Serum could make me into a Mantis which was a path to becoming truly super human.
Though there were risks like Honkai Corruption and such... Though would there be such a risk when the Will of the Honkai was destroyed back in it's own universe? Woudn't it just end up being Imaginary Energy but in a more refined and controllable form?
Either way, I was most interested in Charlotte Corday as she was one of my favorite Servants from FGO even if she was extremely weak in her base form compared to other Servants.
Though the fact that I got the Vampiric Shiv and Shinao Hiiragi who was basically an advanced vampire hunter, seemed a bit pointed at my situation with how the Blood Dragons were after me.
Still I did leave the โ โ Spectral Crossbow in the system storage while I fused everything else into the Vibroknife which evolved it from a single star into a two-filled-out star form which was a damned good thing.
'The main issue... Is that getting into stabbing distance with capes and fucking monsters, is what they are fucking capes and monsters. Whereas I am a very squishy human still.' I mused to myself.
Then I was distracted as Taihou gently cupped my face and got on her tippy toes to kiss my throat with her hot breath tickling as she said gently. "Focus on me, my darling... Now, did you get anything good?"
I coughed and briefly attempted to get some space from Taihou to speak. Before realizing that the yandere ship girl wasn't going to let go. So I just spoke frankly.
"I uhhh got a summon that is an assassin that can hide from people's perception. A decent knife that can go through armor and most forms of physical protection without issue. And a dangerous super serum."
Taihou's form went still... Painfully and hauntingly still before she asked quietly. "That assassin is a woman right?"
And I exhaled, with the thought that this was how I would die here and now. But I didn't lie. I just took a breath in and said calmly. "Yup."
There was a heavy silence for a moment before Taihou gave me a squeeze before she stepped back and with those gleaming bloody crimson eye's meeting my own. She stated with a casual smile. "I figured that would be the cast. But I am the first and main wife."
Then she tilted her head to the side and said more quietly with her smile becoming a haunting and empty thing as her eyes became dull. "You aren't going to throw me away, are you?"
I shook my head and said helplessly. "Of course not. How could I throw you away? Not to mention you wouldn't let me do it anyway haha." I joked a bit at the end.
But Taihou took that very much as fact as she nodded solemnly and said calmly. "That is correct, my love... Now, how about we deal with the rest of the monsters here in the realm. Then once we get out of here, you can summon that helper?"
I nodded as that was a fair enough point, as I still needed to find a more permanent solution to my life's issues.
Taihou with my arm still secured in her own arms and held against her chest continued to bring me through the slaughterfest that was her domain like ability.
And I knew that if she used it outside of this 'dungeon/realm', back on earth. The PRT and such were going to hard label her as a Master/Shaker due to her familiars in the domain she conjured around herself.
The rest of the minotaur's satyrs and even the boss monster of the realm didn't stand a chance in front of Taihou, which to be fair... She was a weapon of war who was meant to blow up floating fortresses and invading alien/eldritch monsters.
It was just a long slog honestly.
But although it was a gory slog fest of slaughter for me that threatend to make me vomit at the... Fucking terrifying and horrible ways the thousand plus youkai and demons that made up Taihou's Parade of a thousand Demons.
She just didn't register the slaughter, like she didn't take any joy in it I guess. She didn't any pride or literally anything about it. If anything doing it made her happy knowing she was 'providing' for me.
And by the end of the slaughter and the 'dungeons' boss lay in a splattered mess as a giant 'Gashadokuro' rose up and somehow slurped out the bones of the monster who guarded this broken worlds core.
"Now let's go get the money from clearing out the realm for this PRT, and then we can go house shopping darling!" Taihou said excitment as she still held my arm in between her large breasts as she pulled me towards the portal that would lead back to Brockton Bay.
Once we passed through the portal, and I turned in the materials to prove we killed the monsters and I gave a general statement that the realm had lost... Most of it's native population probably.
We left the low ranking realm's heavily fortified fortress and re-entered Brockton Bay's streets with forty thousand dollars in cash for having killed the realms guardian mostly.
"Hmm, I can't really hide you as you can't really do a secret identity... Plus trying to buy a home or long term rent a property with cash is just asking for us to get tagged as an easy mark or criminals." I muttered to myself.
With Taihou giggling and saying teasingly. "Of course I can't hide my beauty darling. Any who lookes upon our loving forms will know I will be beside you for all time!"
'Not my point at all.' I thought dryly before I stilled as a heavy sound of metal reinforced boots on concrete abruptly rang out behind us and in an instant we both whirled around.
"Die!" Taihou snarled coldly with that kamaitachi youkai blitzing out of the pool of darkness that spread out and the cloaked form was sliced in half and burst into smoke as the sickle armed weasel youkai cut the 'man' into a dozen pieces.
Then the weasel shot up towards me, no the building above me and I saw the weasel cut a ball? Or something out of the air that was dropped from the roof of the building into a dozen peices with Taihou snarling now.
"You dare to threaten my darling!" She shrieked and I realized what the 'ball' was.
It was a fucking hand grenade!
Along with the realization that it was a grenade, I realized all to well who that was as well... It was Oni-Lee of the ABB.
"It's Oni-Lee, he is a clone leaving teleporter remember!" I called out hurriedly before I called out again. "What do you want Oni, we haven't messed with the ABB." I called out towards the man who formed again on another building as the street very fucking quickly began emptying out as the rib cage of the Gashadokuro surrounded us as a sort of shield.
But it wasn't just the rib cage of the Gashadokuro mind you... A Gashadokuro was literally ten stories tall so the massive skeleton monster was a small skyscraper that appeared in the city limits of this damned city.
Oni Lee wasn't a fool, at least he didn't seem to be. I had no idea if his powers still had the same problems as they did in the core timeline. But his monotone voice rang out cooly. "Your partner Taihou. I was ordered to approach you for an invitation to the ABB."
And without a single moment of hesitation Taihou snapped out in a hiss. "Begone from my sight wretch! I am taking my darling to find a house so we may celebrate our honeymoon!"
Oni Lee tilted his oni like decorated mask to the side before he mused. "Master? No, she seems to be just quite insane... Broken trigger perhaps? Hmm, you seem to have a spatial power as well so it's unlikely to have a potent Master power as well."
Then Oni-Lee looked across the city and Taihou snorted as he obviously teleported as this clone left behind began to break down into ashes as he clearly realized with the fucking massive Gashadokuro she had summoned that he coudn't force a confrotation.
Hell we needed to get the hell out of here as well!
As a loud alarm like a tornado alarm rang out through the city and I had a sinking feeling... That the invasion alarm was the PRT freaking the the fuck out and thinking some alien monster had invaded Earth Bet again.
But in reality it was Taihou's biggest familiar.
"Taihou... Put away the Gashadokuro and don't summon it in city limits please!" I said as I squeezed her hand with her just blinking and saying happily.
"Oh? Ok darling! Now lets go look for that house ufufu!" She chuckled at the end like some kind of demure lady.
With her Night Parade pool retracting to just around like five meters around us we kept moving but it didn't take long at all for the roar of sirens to reach us as we only got like three miles away from where the fight happened.
"When it rains in this damned world... It pours." I muttered as I just knew some shit was going to happen. Thankfully we didn't make it back to my car yet so it wasn't going to get caught up in this mess.

Honestly Iโm full on for the idea to level that fucking serum to kingdom come cause a mantis taken to the fucking extreme is pure BS AF. All you need to do is look at Kevin and his bullshit, hoyoverseโs favorite character was so fucking strong he needed to be ganked by the power of friendship and it failed twice, it took a literal 4th wall breaking OOC in game global event from the players/captains to break this motherfuckers shield, so the characters had a chance of beating him. The serum Jake, it beckons!!! Tftc it was a nice surprise to see before bed

2025-08-20 23:54:26 +0000 UTCYou know, this might sound dumb. But couldn't Jake have Lung killed after he summons Charlotte? I mean the presence concealment of the Assassin class is insane. So couldn't she simply slip in and kill Lung while he's not in dragon form? Then the ABB just collapses to infighting. Or am I oversimplifying things?
