Gamer Emperor Chapter 46

Soft gasping wretches rang out before a loud squeal was abruptly silenced with a soft wet crunch as Kiyohime stomped on the throat of one of Hades fury in Alecto, who burst into golden dust as Kiyohime made sure not to attack the fury's core and soul.

No, the fury was merely sent to reform within the bowels of Tartarus where she would be reborn with the aid of Hades in a couple of weeks but the reformation's pain was hardly enough to soothe Kiyohimes... Very dark mood.

'My beloved gave me but a simple task... Recollect his fox concubines, along with his mortal maid. And yet, now I fail that oh so easy blasted task due to another Olympian's nonsense!' Kiyohime thought with hot draconic rage leaking from her form in purple and black miasma.

Then, with a deep breath, the dragon woman turned to the demigod. The source of the trouble, yet not something she could 'do anything' about due to her beloved having clearly some care for the girl. Not to mention being the daughter of his maid.

"Silence, and be still demigod!" Kiyohime's cold voice slammed into Andromeda's mind and form with her physical body hunching over as the dragon's mana and life force shrouded over her form to get her attention.

Andromeda's wild eye's whirled on Kiyohime but before she could do something even more foolish like demanding something of her. Amagi and Shinano gently grabbed her shoulders and began speaking to her in a soothing tone.

"What... What about my mother? I haven't even seen Hades before, how could I even steal his helmet?" Andromeda asked totally lost as to what to do.

At that, Kiyohime exhaled in clear annoyance before she said flatly. "You need to head to Camp Halfblood. I assume with the Olympians playing their games, you will need to receive a prophecy to have the Fates guide you. As well as provide you the legitimacy to challenge those who will be in your way."

Kiyohime scowled darkly, but she took a deep breath and continued.

"My beloved will not want you harmed, so I shall be teleporting you to the outside bounds of Camp Halfblood. You will need to go look for that fool of a wine god or Chiron to get the quest then. You have my beloved's phone number as well so once you leave the camp with the quest in hand... Call him, he will help as he cares for you for some reason."

There was a pause before Andromeda gave Kiyohime an inquisitive look before she asked in confusion yet tinged with a teasing jab. "Are you Jake's tsundere in his harem?"

There was a pause as heat built up in the room, with Kiyohime looking at Andromeda with zero amusement, before Akagi thankfully defused the situation with a straight face. "No Andy, she is the main wife type. Kaga is the bully bait tsundere! Now, before you get burned literally... I would suggest you get going."

With Andromeda's expression hardening at that, the older teen walked over to  Kiyohime, who quickly teleported the frustrating little demi-goddess away and then, within a couple minutes, she had teleported back.

"Everyone is here then?" Kiyohime spoke somewhat brusquely before visibly counting down the kitsune in [Ahri, Musashi, Kaga, Akagi, Amagi Shinano, Senko, Yukikaze] "Yes all eight of you kitsune are here then." She said with finality and some clear relief.

Then, with a crackle of power, the ultimate class dragon teleported all of the kitsune away back into the domain of her beloved.

"You shouldn't have snuck out of the camp Andro-" Chiron began admonishing his charge before silencing himself halfway as Andromeda's enchanted/cursed sword, that also had the form of a can of mace that was filled with Hydra venom filled her hands.

"Ahem, I meant to say that as the camp caretaker and your trainer. That is wasn't respectful for you to at least give me a warning of your departure Andy." He said, still with a kind but admonishing tone.

But Andy wasn't having any of it. She slammed a hand on the table he was sitting at and said coldly. "The god of the underworld thinks I stole his Helm of Darkness and has taken my mother prisoner in order to get it back. I need a quest to go to beat the piss out of my uncle who stole my mom like it was one of her terrible soap opera shows!"

Chiron blinked at that before he visibly shook and said hurriedly. "Wait his helm was stolen as well!" 

Andy just gave Chiron a dull look before she said flatly. "Yes, his as well, apparently. It happened during the large meeting when my Pos- my father, was meeting with the rest of the Olympians after his invasion of the devil's side of the underworld."

Chiron took a long deep breath before sighing and looking rather worn before he said softly. "You have had so little time to train... You are not ready for such a quest. But I have no ability to stop you, nor the Fates who conspired to this turn of events."

"Not to mention how it was impossible for you to have done it. But fine, follow me, Andromeda Jackson, your fate lies with the Oracle." 

Chiron then got up from his wheel chair and brought Andromeda into the Big House and into the attic where she was swiftly pointed towards the Oracle of Delphi.

"How... The hell is this supposed to help me?" Andy said flatly as she looked at the mummy that was the Oracle of Delphi 

But as though hearing Andromeda's words the hollow pits that were the Oracle's eyes filled with haunting green flames and it's form cracked as its dried out remains shifted ever so slightly forward. 

Then a haunting voice filled with suffering, hate, and the curse of knowledge hit Andromeda's ears with Chiron staggering in place as the prophecy was spoken.

"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."

Then the Oracle of Delphi sagged with a crack of the dried out remains. With it's haunting green eye's of flames fading away leaving the room silent before Andromeda said in bland realization.

"Wow... Even the Oracle who serves the gods say there is a traitor in the camp and that I can't use anyone here. That's a pity, I wanted to bring my little gremlin as well."

Then as Chiron finally gathered his wits and went to converse with Andromeda his ears were filled with the sounds of her footsteps as she left the attic with Chiron demanding in confusion. "Wait where are you going Andy. We need to talk about this prophecy!"

To which Andromeda literally just flipped Chiron off making his face twitch as she said. "Nope! There are traitors abound the in camp. Aren't you also a son of a titan as well? Nope, I at least trust my friend who has helped bring a bunch of demigods here!"
