Gamer Emperor Chapter 44

After letting Skoryn throw a bitch fit about losing her crown for a couple of days, I was off and flying at high speed on my manifested wing's I made with my life force. And the flight straight to the meeting point outside of Skadi's castle where I set the girls to meet me was without incident.

And getting there I found that the four girls had set up a small camp to wait for me. 

The moment I came close to the camp, however, I was swiftly welcomed by a green kimono-clad figure rocketing into my chest at high speeds making me chuckle and groan as Kiyohime whispered. "I missed you too much... I don't want you to leave my sight again." 

And Yuki's more relaxed voice soon graced my ears as she came out of the magical enlarged tent she was previously in. "With how bright you are looking, I see the mission was a success husband." 

"Yeah, it went off without a hitch. Skoryn wasn't killed. I didn't burn down the magic kingdom. It went as perfectly as it could frankly." I spoke with a wide grin as beside me not putting Skoryn under my boot. 

There really wasn't too much else I could have done to make the situation go any better than it already did.

So with Skoryn not dead or anything, our meeting with Skadi would be a lot less stressful frankly.

Alica Clemice, the Nephilim exorcist then came out of the tent alongside Arianna and I couldn't help but pause as I saw that she had pure white glowing wings behind her. Obviously, while I was busy, Arianna helped unseal her Nephilim bloodline.

"Wow, so you are descended from an actual angel. Not a Fallen Huh?" I mused as I took in the wing's which radiated purity and holy energy.

And Arianna snorted with her saying flatly. "Yeah, when Fallen breed with human's we just make half-fallen angels. It's grandfather's blessing within angels that makes true Nephilim's so powerful and feared.

That wasn't even the half of it as Alicia had jumped up a dozen plus levels as a threat due to her having just unlocked her wings with her holy energy being augmented obviously.

I highly doubted she knew how to make light spears or anything else either. So just her bloodline being unsealed gave her a very powerful advantage obviously.

'But I would still win again.' I thought proudly before I felt Kiyohime's grasp tighten making me look down at her and ear and glowing smile with her hands pulling at my jacket in a needy manner.

So with one hand free of Kiyohime's grasp, I held out my free arm and within the hand came a slight flash as I took out the key for Skadi's castle. 

[Rune Keyblade] [A key forged from four Primordial Rune's working in tandem in perfect synch which will enhance the user's base stats by thirty percent. The user's blows do soul damage to the target. The user's sword and axe-based skills grow 100% while holding the Rune Keyblade. The user is immune to all but the most powerful divine and magical illusions and mental interference.]

As much as I wanted to call this a Keyblade from Kingdom Heart's it only tangibly looked as such as the double heads of the massive axe I got from the warrior kingdom acted as the base of the key.

The crown's golden metal had merged over the edges of the axe heads along with giving a large sword in between the two half-moon axe heads at the top of the great axe.

"Wow... That weapon is just-" Arianna drew off along with Kiyohime going still around me as there was no doubt that this Rune Keyblade was more than worthy of being a god's weapon.

And after a moment a sullen voice spoke up as Kusanagi said flatly from the wind surrounding us. "I am right here you know..." 

"Kusanagi my darling, you need to relax. This weapon doesn't even have half your personality... Not even half your power or use either." I spoke with Kusanagi huffing but I felt her divine soul ever so carefully ruffling past my body as she returned into her blade content that I wasn't going to replace or leave her behind.

Rather stupidly like the rest of her wielders tended to do.

I coughed and then asked. "Well ladies, anything happens back over in the Heior Kingdom?"

Kiyohime finally broke the hug with her saying calmly. "I spent some time smothering the remains of my purging flames, beyond that some travelers came to the remains of the city from the surrounding towns and villages." 

Yuki then continued with a bit of a sigh in her voice. "Some of them had Bloodstones with them so we had to purge them as they tried selling the bloodstones to the population that's refilling the city." 

'This is what I get for trying to take over Norse Detroit that's ruled by the drug trade that's Bloodstones.' I thought with some annoyance before Arianna spoke again.

"However the queen is also working in the lines of the Geass you both signed to bring the Kingdom back to its feet... But without the Bloodstone issues." 

"That's good," I said with a nod before I added on. "Well, how about we relax for a day as I am a bit tired from all the running about I had to do, and then tomorrow we will get on with dealing with Skadi?" 

The girls nodded in agreement and after we headed into Arianna's spatially expanded tent which had a good couple of extra rooms for added comfort, Arianna asked the most important question of all.

"Jake... I cannot believe I have to ask this, but do you have a plan for taking this realm from the goddess Skadi? Sure she isn't a warrior godddess in truth but her magic is extremely potent and isn't something we should mess with." 

The room went quiet 

With even Alicia looked at me in concern as we all knew that messing with a goddess was going to be... Extremely foolish to say the least.

So it's not like I was going to go in there with my cock out swinging and demanding to become king of this realm. No it needed a bit of finesse...

Taking a deep breath, I put a hand to my chest, I spoke firmly. "I do in fact have a plan ladies. But I am more worried about Skoyrn's reaction should I become Emperor of this realm... I really don't want a vindictive mini-Loki running around my realm."

'A mini Fem-Loki at that... How petty could a female Loki who was scorned be? Something I much rather not find out obviously.' I thought with a shudder. 

"Anyway, Skadi strategy on the block... If her handmaidens become hostile as we unlock her wards. Do not kill them or even hurt them too badly until at least I get to meet with the goddess." I spoke firmly.

The girls nodded in agreement even if Alicia looked disgruntled, probably at the order not to put pagan worshippers to the sword. But either way Kiyohime had the next point of intrest. "And if Skadi becomes hostile and refuses to let go of her realm?" 

To which I shrugged and I looked directly at Kiyohime and asked bluntly. "Kiyohime, if you and me worked together while the rest kept the handmaidens busy. Could we kill Skadi?" 

To which Kiyohime blinked and she spoke clearly and calmly. "No, no we cannot. Not because as a goddess she is more powerful than me. But the reality is that her castle is her domain of power, and her magic combined with all the power of this realm circulates at the core of her domain. Makes her far more powerful than us in that castle of hers." 

For a moment I considered how I could get Skadi out of her castle to then do her in. But then I realized that was a fool's errand. Going up there with killing intent at all was the wrong move from the get-go. So my idea of getting Skadi on our side was rather honestly the only way forward.

"Anyway did you find anything else interesting in the magical kingdom?" Arianna asked and I chuckled as I began speaking about the goodies I stole from Skoryn's personal collection of enchanted shinies.

-

Back in Camp Halfblood, Andromeda Jackson was sulking... Oh she would absolutely deny such allegations obviously, but there was no changing the bit of anger at her current situation.

First was how despite jumping into the Poseidon cabin with her father claiming her rightfully of course. She still had to deal with the nonsense that was the other cabins who were always bugging her with how she was supposedly the only 'true born' demi-god of the Big Three currently.

This meant a whole lot of crap when there were dozens if not hundreds of that bastard half-breed between gods and monsters running around to say nothing of the so-called Hero-Inheritors. As apparently, the Greek afterlife for heroes was so damned boring that those overpowered past heroes would just jump into new souls to take a ride and power them up.

Yeah... It turns out that when putting countless souls in a sea of 'reeds' or wheat for the Greek and Egyptian pantheon's afterlife. Even when they were dead, they got fucking bored to tears and fled the land of the dead.

But back to the point of why she was fucking annoyed to all hell. 

"Stupid Jake... Literally going to a whole different world where rainbows are controlled by another goddess. All my hate!" Andromeda screamed into her pillow as she kicked her bed.

She finally pulled her own face off her pillow with a pout crossing her not-at-all-adorable face. With her then holding the pillow to her ample chest before she huffed and muttered. "Darn it... And mom is being all weird with how she is being a maid for those kitsune as well." 

After a bit of pouting Andromeda's pity party was cut short as the hidden bell she installed so Brianna, the daughter of Athena who she had connected with who had also been saved by Jake could contact her in her cabin rang.

The perfectly average-sized older teenager quickly made her way out of the cabin after slipping on some slip-on shoes and as she came out she scowled at seeing Annabeth Chase, a blond-haired, stormy-grey-eyed daughter of Athena standing beside HER minion in Brianna.

"What do you want Annabeth?" Andromeda demanded with a frown at seeing the annoying know-it-all-all.

Annabeth just rolled her eyes and said flatly. "Andromeda," Que an eye twitch that made Annabeth's full body twitch as she recalled the last time someone called her by her full name repeatedly... And the minor war that broke out between the Campers and the Hunters.

"Ahem... Chiron wanted to tell you that a message has come for you from your father's son Triton." Annabeth said with something in her voice that Andromeda couldn't pick out.

And after a moment of thought, she looked at Brianna who shrugged and then uncaring of Annabeth there she said. "I have my materials, weapons, and spell books ready. We can leave and head back to the Continental to find some monsters to kill if you want." 

'Ah... How I adore my tiny murder genius.' Andromeda giggled mentally while completely neglecting to consider how Brianna was only twelve years old and a couple of inches shorter than Andromeda.

And she very firmly repressed any thoughts of her minion becoming much taller than her and having anything to... Hang over her head.

"Hmph, well I should see what my half-brother wants at least," Andromeda muttered as she didn't know much about Tritorn besides having a good amount of respect for him, as he went down into the underworld with Poseidon. When her father got pissed at that devil for messing with her mom.

And said sea gods flooded a good part of the underworld before Serafall Leviathan started freezing the sea that Poseidon and Triton were flooding the underworld with.

The fighting only truly stopped because both Zeus and Hades backed up their brother when Sirzech's and other big evil ass devils stopped her father.

But still, a bunch of asshole evil devils were dead, and she was happy with that... "Brianna, actually could we get a holy sword from the church to kill devils?" Andromeda asked randomly.

Brianna with dull humor reported. "Your sword Anaklusmos was made with the highest grade of Celestial Bronze. Realistically it's the best sword you can get that's not some legendary sword fit for a god to use... Maybe you should ask your father for a holy trident or something if you want something more magically potent." 

"You can't just ask your father for some... Ultra treasure! That's just not done!" Annabeth snapped as well.

To which Andromeda just raised an eyebrow and said frankly. "I mean... Did your mom just drop off your enchanted baseball cap of invisibility randomly?"

Andromeda held up her hands and then said with realization. "Wait no, I change my mind. I don't care honestly, either way, your message is received now go away... Shoo, go read another library or something." 

Normally she wasn't so rude to people, hell she wouldn't say something like that to Brianna ever. 'Partly because the daughter of Athena would curse to walk backward for a week.'

But Annabeth rather frequently got on her nerves with the whole preachy, 'I am smarter than you and the rest of the room combined' vibe she always had.

Annabeth gave her a dirty look, but frankly after being a troublemaker at school all her life, and not being interested in making friends with the other two-faced girls. She honestly couldn't care less as she and Brianna made their way towards the Big House where Chiron typically was.

Once they got to the Big House which was... A large country-style house that kept a lot of treasures and was where special visitors to the camp typically stayed, they quickly found Chiron in the back lot of the Big House where the centaur was carefully maintaining his bow.

"Ah, Andy, Brianna. I am glad you both came here so soon." Chiron said welcomingly and Andromeda dropped much of her normally caustic attitude as she smiled and said more respectfully.

"Hello Chiron, I heard you had a message for me?" 

Chiron nodded with one hand going to the large bags hanging on his centaur body that had three bundles of arrows on each side of him. And then the centaur pulled out the message and Andromeda blinked in surprise as she saw him pull out a large scroll of all things.

"Lord Triton, heir of the seas. And true blood son of Poseidon has sent you this message addressed to you, Andromeda Jackson." Chiron spoke formally and it was only the serious tone that kept Andromeda from getting huffy about her first name being used.

"I understand... Is the message cursed or something?" Andromeda asked frankly as although she knew Triton stood up for her in a way when he went into the underworld with her father. She was well aware that 'Family' in the Greek Pantheon had blood ties thinner than water.

And Chiron chuckled at the question before he said calmly. "No Andy, if it was I would have thrown it into the flames of the Hearth to have it destroyed. It has no enchantment and I have lived a very... Very long life so I am well attuned to Greek forms of magic."

Andromeda then took the scroll and Brianna despite clearly wanting to know what the scroll said, stepped away from her so she wasn't reading the scroll from behind her.

And for good reason as Andromeda's face darkened as she read the subject.

[My name is Triton, and I am the true-born heir of our Father and his rightful and wedded wife Amphitrite. You and your mother have caused the Olympian council no small amount of stress both due to your birth... And the wrath my father showed at your mother being harrassed by the devil.]

[I still applaud his actions in invading the Underworld and slaying a great number of devils, however. I myself brought the armies of Atlantis to bear as Hades and his undead armies and reapers sieged the capital of the Seven Seas of the Forneus Clan.]

[Beyond my lauded efforts in leading a war effort of the lesser forces of our Pantheon, I am writing this message to you as a warning seeing as MY father is under great scrutiny by the Thunderer, and the God of the Underworld.]

[Beware the Devils, Andromeda Jackson. Several Pureblooded devils died with the clan whose devil assaulted your mother being wiped by our father. To put simply, the devils who seek war with Heaven, the Fallen, and other factions will be coming after you.]

Andromeda closed the scroll with a frown with Chiron and Brianna giving expecting looks and after a moment she spoke quietly. "He said that it's likely that the Devils will be sending their Warhawks at me for retribution." 

Chiron took a sharp breath at that, before he made a humming noise as Brianna scowled. Then the wise centaur spoke. "Young Andromeda, let me preface this speech with how you are without a doubt safe her at Camp Halfblood."

Somehow Andy's disbelieving expression made Chiron make a weak smile but regardless he shook his head and continued. "All the Olympians have put various forms of protection around Camp Halfblood, to say nothing of the monsters that fill the surrounding forest that will also give us plenty of fore-warning should a surprise invasion come."

"But I am also well aware you will not want to remain within Camp Halfblood year round, to say nothing of wanting to go on any adventures... Or heaven forbid you are sent on a quest. In either case young lady, you will have support here I promise. Oh, and all Greek Demigods in good standing have rooms available at the Continental as well for example." 

Andromeda blinked hearing that as she was well aware that the Continental acted as a sort of neutral middle ground between various Pantheon's mortal/demigod's. Who used the site as a safe house as well as a place to get work in the supernatural side of life.

"I see... Anyway, thank you for holding the message for me Chiron." Andromeda said with the wise teacher of hero's giving a wane smile before he said slowly.

"Just be careful young lady, this world is unkind to those in the supernatural world with a target as large as the one you have on your back." 

With that Andromeda and Brianna quickly made their way's away from Chiron before Andromeda said anything incriminating or stupid. And as they came up to the beach beside Camp Halfblood, and watched the naiad's frolicking in the water, Brianna spoke quietly.

"You still want to go monster hunting don't you? Using the Continental to pick up the locations of monsters like what Jake was doing right?" 

Andromeda's face was cool as she nodded idly before she spoke more towards the water then towards Brianna. "My mother was being mind controlled into being forced to strip for that damned devil. Maybe it's the divine blood in me, but I just want to kill some more monsters." 

The daughter of the sea's raised a hand towards the beach front and from the water within came a wave of water that formed a solid trident of rushing and swirling water in her hand.

"I don't want to be weak like that again... Just like you Brianna." 

Brianna pouted with her own stormy grey eyes giving Andromeda a weak glare before she stated flatly. "Yeah, for as intelligent as being a daughter of Athena makes me. It's not like I inherited her combat pre-cognition or other talents. I just have an eidetic memory for memorizing magical glyphs and formulas very well." 

And Brianna then poked pushed Andromeda on the arm as she rolled her eyes and added pointedly. "Not to mention the fact that I don't have built-in instinctive divine elemental manipulation like you Andy." 

Andromeda smiled smugly making Brianna roll her eyes but either way Andromeda spoke more quietly. "Either way, we should make our way quickly towards the Continental. I want to speak with my mom... And make sure those kitsune aren't being too weird with her." 

There was a slight pause... And then Brianna grinned evilly as she sniped back. "More like you mean, you are going to be scoping out the competition haha!" 

And Andromeda flushed as she hissed out as she looking around to see if anyone heard. "Shut up Brianna! What if one of those sluts from the Aphrodite Cabin hears?" 

Oh dear the gods above Andromeda feared for that future day. The day Jake brought a gaggle of Aphrodite children back to the camp and thots decides to break his heart just to make their mother proud.

And just as the two demi-goddesses got up and went to make sure they were fully ready for a quick... Excursion out of the camp, the mummy within the attic of the Big House.

The cursed mummified remains of the Oracle of Delphi shifted in place with green fire filling the hollow eye sockets and mouth.

-

A soft thud rang out alongside a feminine sigh of relief as a dainty hand put down a large wooden mug on the table beside her.

Soft long green hair flowed down her back, with matching green eyes which reflected the light of the magical screen before her gaze that she gently wiped away with a huff of amusement at seeing what she wanted.

"Hmph, it's been weeks and the young man hasn't even attempted to properly use my domain of the Flow yet... Is he scared of the quest I had in store for him?" Rhea, mother of the Olympian muttered as she stopped watching her mortal champion as he began laying with his lovers.

Already she could have seen moments in his journey where her domain of the Flow could have helped so much too! He could have used her domain to affect the Flow of the battles he was in with King Alfridus, and he could have even used it to more easily get around the wards of that norse witch queen.

"Hmph, maybe when his conquest is done, I should take him onto my lap and teach him my domains... It's not like I have anyone to spend time with. My babies and grandbabies are always so mean and just bullying one another." Rhea pouted at the thought of the Olympian gods.

Which to say the least was a dysfunctional lot at the best of times. But at least Rhea was able to push Hades and Zeus to help Poseidon deal with that underworld situation with the devils.

Rhea's pouting expression however curled up into a small smile as she leaned out of the large loveseat she was relaxing in to watch Jake's adventures directly. To snag one of the extra large cookies that she and Hestia made from scratch a few hours ago.

She spent the next little while munching on the literally divine chocolate chip cookie that had divine blessed chocolate that was harvested from the Aztec's underworld. Her smile grew as a mischievous idea filled her mind.

Rhea opened back up the invisible portal leading to Jake that not even his precious little Kusanagi could sense due to her being a lesser primordial.

And then at seeing Jake snuggling up with that adorable little Asian dragon, Rhea teleported a platter of the cookies on the table beside them with a note on the cookie pile.

"Oh, you are both so precious haha." Rhea giggled as she watched as Jake obviously freaking the fuck out before deadpanning as Kiyohime looked around furiously for the divine who had plopped some food on their table without a word.

And then Rhea blinked as she felt Jake take hold of her domain, and then kiss the eastern dragon on her forhead with her Flow being used to increase the dragon's flow of blood, and among... Other things.

Making Rhea giggle as she certainly some sort of prude, though... She hadn't had a man since her previous husband due to her being a faithful woman, unlike so many other divines within their Pantheon.

"Hmm, good boy. Make sure to use my gift, Jake. Otherwise, when I finally use you to properly kill my husband I will feel guilty about having my husband after you for being my champion."

Rhea whispered to herself with a small frown as even now, she could feel her husband's power growing.

-

"Hmm, I truly did miss you." Kiyohime muttered as she pressed me into the bed I had been assigned as Arianna and Yuki were busy doing their own thing studying several Primordial Runes. And Alicia was... Being somewhat standoffish as she didn't know how to integrate with out group.

Hence Kiyohime got full access to me after we had a quick dinner and I was just relaxing knowing tomorrow was likely going to be a shitshow as we met with Skadi.

"How much did you miss me?" I teased Kiyohime and I knew that was exactly the wrong thing to ask as her yellow-slitted eyes snapped up to mine from where she had been laying her head on my chest and breathing in my scent.

Those soul-filled yellow draconic eyes stared into my own very soul as Kiyohime stated bluntly. "Jake you are my soul's light, the color in my life after millennia of drowning the world in every alcohol I could find of every form. Even as I burnt swathes of villages down and slaughtered the people that came to invade your new city. All I could think of was you." 

To say the least I didn't have a snazzy come back so I just did the smart thing and didn't say a damned thing as I just pulled Kiyohime closer to me. While internally musing.

'I can't help but wonder how many other people that have reincarnated, have their own yandere dragon waifu.'

But hey at least said dragon waifu was super hot. That was always a damned good bonus. A bonus I could feel rubbing up against me as her breath became slow and measured as the shorter woman rubbed against me with more sensual need in her movements.

"Arianna and Yuki will be able to hear," I whispered into her ear.

And I felt Kiyohime draw up my chest with her soft lips tickling my ear. "I can bite the pillow, my love." 

My right hand which was around her waist as she lay on myself, dipped down low, and I cupped her soft ass that was covered in the silk kimono Kiyohime wore.

And as my hand cupped one of those scoops of heaven I felt Kiyohime stiffen before I spoke gently into her own ear as she began needily grinding on me.

"We can't go all the way Kiyohime... We can get each other off, I would like that even, but I want to properly make love to you and not have to hide it." 

I felt Kiyohime's body burn hot with her whining ever so quietly with those big yellow eyes filled with lust as she looked up at me.

Then with that full eye contact, she nodded in agreement with her taking my other hand into her own before she slid down into the blankets covering us. I already knew what she was going to do so I just got up slightly so the dragon woman could pull down my sleeping shorts I was wearing to be comfortable.

And with zero hands Kiyohime just took my cock into her mouth and then a moment later I felt her forehead bump into my stomach as Kiyohime just seemed to not have an esophagus or something as she swallowed me into her throat without a single gulp or trouble.

That rapid deepthroat then set the pace as Kiyohime held both of my hands within her own as she just throated my cock without any hesitation, strain, or even breaks to breath.

But beyond the obviously wonderful feeling of Kiyohime's tight throat massaging my length, there was also the heat.

The heat of a dragon's inner fire that didn't burn me as she was sexually serving me somehow... No, this wasn't her sexually serving me. This was more for her than anything.

As I could hear her gentle soft moans that were muffled and strangled by my length that filled her throat even as I squeezed the hands within my own.

And I didn't fight my release as it was clear that this was Kiyohime bringing me off for her own reasons so I gave a slight hum as I shuddered with Kiyohime's draconic tongue twisting around my length as she took a hand and began masturbating my cum directly into her mouth.

A couple of moments later Kiyohime gently swallowed me down back into her throat to get up anything she missed before licking me clean and tucking my manhood away with her giggling like a young maiden who just got her first kiss.

Not some sexual predator that had mercilessly wrung an orgasm out of my balls without even letting me hold onto her perfectly shaped handlebar horns.

"Hmm, that was exactly what I needed. I have your most primal scent now hehe." Kiyohime giggled as she went straight back to cuddling with me with her legs now kicking back and further idly.

But then a dull thud rang out and I thought that Arianna and Yuki decided to show themselves finally, having watched the entire scene or something equally embarrassing.

Then my eyes landed on the large plate of cookies that had appeared out of nowhere with a piece of paper laying on a corner of the plate.

'Oh my god, was that Skadi or another divine spying?' I thought with some horror as I felt Kiyohime begin burning up as she hissed sitting up and staring hard into the surroundings as the room's temperature rose sharply.

After using an Observe on the note and making sure that it wasn't cursed or something. I began reading the note even as Kusanagi whispered that she couldn't sense the origin of the divine signature even if it was familiar.

[Dear Jake Barriss my adorable king]

[I have been watching you of course as my champion with great interest, your actions in taking over that warrior kingdom for example were very well done, young man. However, I do have a major complaint, young man.]

[You have not even attempted to use my domain of the Flow as my champion has access to. Do you need help accessing it? As my champion, the only cost in its use is your own magical stores of energy so it should be instinctive with how I have imbedded a whisp of my domain inside of you.]

[After you finish your goal of taking over this quaint little realm, how about I take you well in hand. Teach you how to use my domain in a variety of things, all kinds of fun things that can make your life easier from combat to everyday life?]

[YOUR Goddess Rhea.]

Enclosed within the envelope was also a picture of the beautiful green-haired goddess who was dressed in a tight-fitting sleeping dress that clung to her very voluptuous frame while she was bent over and in the motion of pulling the fresh cookies out of a brick oven.

And let me just say it... "Sheesh." I muttered with Kiyohime's eyes snapping to mine with her going off.

"Nosy goddesses are the bane of any relationship Jake! They can't help but watch, and even interfere!"

I could only nod helplessly at her own thought process while in reality. I was thinking more on the fact that, that ass and thighs most certainly had a dozen children shape it in all the best ways possible.

"Well... Thank you for the cookies Rhea." I spoke aloud with my thoughts pointed towards the goddess and just go along with that, I finally dipped my toes into the domain of The Flow of all Things which was a fucking weird domain for a goddess to have.

And I shuddered as a whole new world was opened to me. It was like the feeling of Apollo when he blessed my skill with archery when I buried one of his dead kids I found in the sewers of New York.

But this was a constant thrum of divine power that felt like Kusanagi's power over the wind... But so much more primal and all-encompassing.

And then I realized the truth. The feeling wasn't actually primal... The feeling was Promordial in essence.

With Kiyohime in my arms as she tried to relax, I could feel the way her blood was flowing within herself, and with my extended senses I could feel the blood flow of the people and animals around us as well.

But deep down, far below us. I could feel the Flow of the Earth as Rhea's very strong connection with Gaea herself connected us and gave me a more partial connection to the Earth through her Domain of the Flow.

"Hmm, I can feel my wind's flowing through you more easily as you touch on the goddesses domain." Kusanagi whispered into my mind as I gave Kiyohime a squeeze and in doing so I felt her blood flow change ever so slightly as our bodies shifted.

And then I kissed Kiyohime with her giggling as she settled back down as she held the Dragon Pearl I gave her tucked under her chin as she settled back down.

While I directed a prayer towards Rhea with her easily picking it up. [After this realm conquest is over. And I spend a few days with my girls, I will come to you for lessons then if you are willing to teach me.]

And I heard Kiyohime growl against me as the smell of sandalwood grew as Rhea's essence ever so slightly manifested just enough for a ghostly kiss upon my brow to felt.

While a whisper rang out in the back of my ears. "Of course my adorable champion, I have plenty of free time ufufu." 

My lips twitched as I realized that Rhea was probably extremely bored and watching me for her own entertainment with how she certainly didn't have her husband Cronus running around. 'For now at least, wait... If Cronus comes back, won't that put me on the Olympian's shit list with how I am a Titan's champion???' I thought with horror.

It took me a good long minute to shove down that horrible thought, but after that, I forced myself to go to sleep with the smaller form of Kiyohime in my arms.

-

Waking up, my group was clearly filled with the energy of wanting to get this realm done with and properly conquered as already the Eternal Winter was swiftly returning as the overly vibrant summer-like day's were over with fall quickly passing by.

So with breakfast consumed with the group, we made our way up the paved stone road leading up the mountain towards Skadi's ice castle that reflected the sun's gaze in a rainbow of reflected lights.

The large road had floating spirits of sorts with the spirits floating around us until they realized I was carrying the Rune Keyblade that would supposedly unlock the castle's door's.

The spirits themselves were fairly strong, being the in level forty/fifty range and they were all apparently the leftover spirits and emotional energy of Skadi's handmaidens who had died after millennia of living here.

"The spirit's are still at rest despite being wandering spirits of a sort... This is an alternate realm, so perhaps serving Skadi even unto death is their afterlife." Arianna noted calmly.

And for a moment I wanted to ask what Heaven was like in the Abrahamic Faith... But she was A a fallen angel and B- still had the pagan blood of Athena running through her veins.

So there was no way in hell for Arianna to have ever been to Heaven because she had been hiding out in the Continental for a long time.

Either way, we kept moving up the road without issue with me having the key, until we reached a large gate that blocked the road with a low wall surrounding the castle on the mountain to apparently keep out adventurers as the wall and gate was heavily cursed.

In the center of the large gate was a massive keyhole that was clear for the Rune Keyblade I had created and after turning it. The mountain seemed to shudder lightly with a flare of light shooting from the tallest tower into the sky and creating a powerful purple explosion as the ray of light exploded.

"Well... Talk about an entrance." I muttered as I felt a heavy sense of divine pressure wash over us as Skadi's divine gaze fell upon our forms.

And then as my group of five which consisted of Kiyohime, Yuki, Myself, Alicia, and Arianna continued to make our way up the much nicer pathed road. We were greeted at some point by a woman with a completely covering black cloak.

"You have collected the Rune Keyblade." She stated calmly and I nodded while throwing an Inspect at her.

[Eveline Gewnhildr- Hand Maiden of Skadi LV-67] 'Hmm a pretty decent spell caster.' I mused before I spoke.

"That's correct. So am I also correct in assuming we will be able to meet the goddess Skadi?" 

The handmaiden just tilted her head to the side and spoke calmly, even as I couldn't see her face at all in her dark cloak, which was enchanted to hide her appearance. "If you so wish to yes. If you have a wish that you came to the goddess with, I possibly can accomplish it without you needed to trouble yourself or my goddess." 

I just shook my head and said firmly. "No, my goal is to see your goddess and speak with her." 

There was a pause before the handmaiden slowly nodded and spoke without emotion. "Very well. She is outside in the gardens and I will lead you to her."

The handmaiden turned around and then began walking back up the road leading up to the castle while Yuki whispered in my ear quietly. "She isn't human Jake, she has jotun blood in her, ice magic will be her weapon." 

I nodded in understanding but I just gave Yuki a squeeze around the waist before we kept going. And Skadi's castle was obviously beautiful, seemingly made from some kind of magical ice or crystal that captured the sun's rays that fell on it and reflected it.

Like it was a solid tapestry of the Northern Light's during the day and to a lesser extent at night.

I did notice, however, that as we made our way through the gardens which was pretty normal with some herbs, slightly magical plant's, and a lot of flowers. We didn't run into any other handmaidens other than the one leading us.

'The other hand maidens are in the castle it looks like.' I mused internally, but soon enough the handmaiden brought us to Skadi herself as she only spoke single-word sentences to whenever my companions spoke directly to her.

And soon enough I laid my eyes upon the goddess Skadi who was sitting with noble poise at the table she was relaxing and sitting at.

She had long purple hair that had a beautiful crown of silver and ruby gems resting upon her head. Skadi's form was clad in a dark purple dress with black trim and some enchanted gems embedded within the tight-fitting dress that clung to her voluptuous form.

And then Skadi glanced over at us, first at Kiyohime, and then her crimson eyes locked onto mine as we approached the long table with her handmaiden speaking. "My lady, I have brought the Rune Keyblade collector." 

Skadi slowly nodded at her handmaiden and said gently. "Good work Eveline, please go into the castle for me. Bring us drinks in five minutes if we are still speaking." 

'Wow, that is a subtle line... Basically telling her that we either don't deserve drinks for the next five minutes or getting her out of the way in case we start fighting all too soon.'

Alicia took the front and I raised an eyebrow as she pulled out a chair in front of me which I took with the Nephilim exorcist taking my back. Alongside Kiyohime while Yuki and Arianna sat at my sides.

"You collected the Runeblade to earn a meeting with me young mortal from outside my realm... Even stealing the crown piece from my daughter without killing and evading her fervent search."

She gazed at me in a judgmental manner before she asked bluntly in her beautiful voice. "Jake Bariss, champion of the Goddess Rhea. What do you want from this meeting?" 

And I took a deep breath as I went for broke. "I want this realm, I want to conquer it with my essence filling it so I become more powerful. I want you to still rule it as my steward or patron but I want this realm to exist in my name." 

Skadi actually blinked and giggled with her raising up a sleeve to cover my giggles as she looked at me in mirth. "Wow... Just wow Jake Barris, for over two millennia I have lived in this realm, within this castle, and never left it once."

Her eyes seemingly stared past me as she continued speaking. "Many a would-be king came here to demand to take me as their wife so they could rule from among the people. Many a man and woman came here seeking immortality. But you... You want everything I have."

She gave a cold look before she asked with a chill in her voice. "Now tell me Jake Bariss, emperor of a dead empty realm. Why shouldn't I break guest rights and just kill you?"

I could all but feel Kiyohime's fiery glare on the goddess and just as I was about to say something about getting revenge on Loki for her. My mouth opened but nothing came out. And now Skadi scowled as my system pinged.

[Patron Rhea has protected users from a bad luck curse.]

"Well, that was rude," I stated flatly as I popped my neck but I just gave a calm smile as Skadi scowled at something past me... Assumedly Rhea herself.

But then Rhea's voice came above my head and I shivered as I felt her soft hands gently land on my shoulders. "Skadi my dear, Jake was a little blunt, but hiding in your demi-plane won't solve your hate for the Norse." 

Skadi's face darkened with actual anger in her voice. "Rhea you overstep your place! I will deal with my issues when I damned well please!"

To which Rhea replied calmly. "Take it from a goddess and a mother who has gone through your same issues. Wallowing in a hidden realm will not fill the hole and anger in your heart."

There was a long moment of silence as Skadi glared at the mother of Olympians and the Queen of the Titans. Then Skadi gave a cool smile and said. "So what do you suggest then Rhea. I just... Give your champion rule of my realm for some stupid reason?" 

And Rhea gave a small giggle before she spoke in amusement. "Oh dear heavens no Skadi, I wouldn't be so rude or foolish to suggest something so ridiculous... But what if he swears a soul-bound oath tied to your Primordial Runes to say? Kill Loki?" 

The gently flowing wind stopped. The very world itself went quiet as Skadi became stone still.

Finally, Skadi with true hate in her eyes spoke with sick amusement. "And how would he do that Rhea? With your blessing? How would he kill a peak Ultimate Class god and escape the Norse's retribution?" 

And I felt Rhea squeeze my shoulder telling me it was my time to speak so I took a deep breath as I realized something as well about this universe. Khaos Brigade was very much a real thing as some of the higher-ups of various factions hated this uneasy peace the world was mostly in.

So in the DXD side of thing's when Loki goes to kill Odin during the Peace Conference between the Devils and Norse during the youth meeting or whatever. If I was in at the right place and time... I could in fact gank Loki if the right perperation.

And so I explained that plan of mine. "Loki hates Odin and Thor for the relative peace the world is currently in. He is even now planning on killing Odin during a particular meeting set in the future between various factions. With the right preparations, I do have a decent chance at doing it."

As Skadi went to deny me divine winds encircled our forms and her mouth shut as Kusanagi's blade from exited my inventory and onto my lap. "I do have a god-killing weapon after all. And physically I am not weak in the slightest, to say nothing of my own magic resistance." 

There was a long pause as Skadi processed this information. With her taking in Kiyohime and my other followers before she looked at Rhea and spoke with cold humor. "I never thought I would see the day you were so active Rhea. Even should I refuse this offer, you have other plans ready don't you?" 

The only answer I got from Rhea was her squeezing my shoulder... But it seemed that Rhea had said something to Skadi with some divine bullshittery who paled before her face hardened and she said slowly.

"I see... If both the Greek and Norse end's are approaching as well. Then very well, I will take this bet for the blood debt I desire repaid with Loki's death."
