Gamer Emperor Chapter 47

I was still training in the use of Rhea's 'Flow' domain when Kiyohime, Yuki, and the others arrived with the lady of the hour in Andy arrived. I then came out of the bathroom I was training in and I looked at Andy who looked... Yeah all kinds of fucked up knowing her mom was kidnapped to say the least.

Though with how Poseidon killed a lot of devils with his little invasion of the Underworld, I couldn't help but wonder how he felt at the thought of his brother in Hades kidnapping Sally Jackson.

Hell, Sally was my maid now, I myself was rather annoyed even if I wasn't even attached to the woman.

Still, I gave Andy a nod before I said softly. "So we need to go get Hades's helm of darkness, and Zeus's bolt that was stolen. What exactly was the prophecy you were given?"

Andy took a deep breath before she began reciting the prophecy and my face twitched as I had a terrible thought.

"Daughter of the sea, to the West you must fly,
Where thunder and shadows were stolen, and truth will meet the sky.
The camp's golden hearth will flicker and fade.
As many foes wear the faces of friends once not made.
Turn not to kin who dwell 'neath the pine, For serpents of the Ouroborus now slither the safety line.
Ally with those from forgotten and lost lands, take up your fate in borrowed hands.
Return the bolt ere the solstice breaks, Or Olympus will fall through cracks that traitors make."

The majority of the prophecy didn't really matter to me honestly. Camp Halfblood and the Olympians could fall apart for all I cared though I would try to help an escaping demigods find a place themselves. Within my own realms of course.

But still, the Ouroborus bit was very fucking worrying to me. As this wasn't just a Percy Jackson world. The other mythologies were filled in with DXD and some Lovecraft bullshit as I still had nightmares of the Gate of Skye adventure I went on.

It was very possible if not likely that the Khaos Brigade was involved with this bullshit, and thinking about it... In the base DXD canon, the primordial Greek god's were enemies to the main cast of DXD as they didn't like how the world was changing into a more peaceful one.

"I see... Yeah the although prophecies are normally pretty hard to read on purpose. This one has one immutable fact, honestly. The camp has at least one major traitor within it so you made the right decision in just leaving." I spoke slowly as I held my sword, Kusanagi in my lap.

Then Andy said with a face of frustration. "But what the hell am I even supposed to do anyway? It just tells me to head west dammit! Where west do I go!?"

I nodded with a hum as her frustration was more than fair. But after a moment of thought, I said slowly. "Your ultimate goal is to find WHO stole the helm and bolt, but if they decide to just hide then you won't be able to find them even with my help and any help I can call upon."

I had no doubt that Rhea could point us in the right direction. But there were rules to this world of mythology and if she just pointed us at Ares... Or fuck who knows who actually had the bolt and helm then there was nothing we could do.

But there was a prophecy, the Fates which bound the Greek Pantheon together to keep them together and with strength so that they did not fade with the changing of ages would be bound to follow said Fates.

"We have to play along with the prophecy... So have to head west, towards the heart of the enemies power." I took a deep breath as Andromeda looked clearly concerned but I just smiled and said easily. "However, before we get on track with the prophecy officially, we can do a bit of sneaky shit and get a head start."

I looked over at Arianna and said firmly. "Arianna, can you please make us a portal to Las Vegas?"

Normally, I would want to hit all the major check marks of Andy's first adventure. But frankly, that was inherently impossible due to Annabeth and Grover not being here with her. And I already had a painful first meeting with Medusa... And I wasn't in a rush to see her again.

But the Lotus Casino? That was an important step of Andy's trip and something I wanted to check out anyway. Because what if I could run into Nico and Bianca the kids of Hades?

Hell with how 'Percy' was a girl in this verse. Maybe even Nico would be a chick as well... And I wouldn't say no to a big titty goth girl replacing the dour, depressed, and very 'Greek' Nico.

Arianna blinked at my request before she nodded easily before she coughed and said with a wry smile. "Jake, as a member of the Greek Panthenon... Nominally, anyway, the Fates will not be amused if you take a dozen people to steamroll the quest. We will be hit with a meteor or something to that effect if we don't make it 'fair'."

I brushed my hand across my face as I took in my harem and as I felt Kiyohime's eye's burrowing into my side I nodded in understanding knowing that I couldn't use the pocket nuke that was the dragon girl.

Otherwise not only would the fate be pissed. Even the Olympians and the Titans would be pissed especially at what they considered to be a foreign 'god' mucking about in their affairs.

"Kiyohime, I am sorry," I said with her sighing with frustration, but nodding in understanding.

"I understand, Jake. I will watch from a distance and not interfere unless it's to save your life." She said quietly.

That was the best I was going to get frankly. But with an inhale I took in the rest of my people and I looked to Ahri the nine-tailed kitsune who Amagi and the other older kitsune had trained... And helped her mind heal, and I said.

"Shinano, Ahri, and Senko. You three will be with me. And the rest of you... I ask that you go either collect some dragons blood, or deal with more Fallen Angel bounties while we are gone."

However, Yukikaze, Senko's sister, frowned as she clearly didn't want her sister to run off without her. But Senko smiled softly and said comfortingly. "I will most be in the backline casting magic, and healing our allies. Do not worry, sister, and five is the most we should be taking."

Though Ahri looked a bit nervous as she looked at me and asked quietly. "Am I really ready for this?" 

And although I hadn't spent as much time with the nine-tailed kitsune due to them needing their minds built up from being held in stasis for centuries. I nodded as I said firmly. "You are a nine-tailed kitsune, and you have gotten a couple of months of intense training from these people that I trust. Yes, you are ready."

With that, Arianna coughed and added with a wry smile as she began forming a large teleportation pad. "Thank you for not adding me Jake. Having me involved would go... Rather poorly. Now let's get the show on the road!"
