Chapter 19 - 24 hours later

"And here's the twentieth one. Damn are you anoying" Complained Aros after filling the last reservatory and glady receiving the space ring filled with a tone of magically infused coffee.

"If you complaing much more i will have to kiss you, so do continue, maybe i will convince you to stay long enough for you to..." She suddenly kissed him and closed the hatchet before departing the stratosphere in the blink of an eye, leaving a grinning Aki with his hair completly blown back. " She's cute, i'll give her that." He whispered to himself before going back home. It was time to black mail the mayor. Or not. Depends on how fast the other people worked. He'd ask over the phone they'd given him.

Back to the Carolina he lived in.

"You fucked an alien, didn't you?" Smirked the local red head.

"Human as they come, made sure to check that." He smiled while flickling her forehead, which was completly unguarded since she didn't even know the gesture existed. "BEN! Call your sister, we're killing the chinese. The hunt for the guys behind them already started and i'm neither loosing my loot nor am i getting yelled at because i forgot to call someone!" He screamed, getting the attention of practically the whole building and making several people wake up with a start. It was almost midnight, so it was understandeble that not everyone was energized and ready for action like the coffee crew.

"Anyone else got a torture tecnique or extensive experience? Either could be useful. No? Than you might not want to watch this. Here Juny, take this lolipop and feed it to that dog over there." Aki told the boy, who promptly ignored his messed up hair and went to follow his orders.

"YOU MONSTER!" Screamed the man he currently had bellow his sneakers.

"Thank you. It's a special sugar i produced myself, because nothing is ever sweet enough. So then i made it into a extremely sticky substance that is perfect for gluing itself in biological matter after a period of touching saliva of any kind. Somehow, it turned out to taste like rotten meat, so i'm sorry if i have to feed the poor thing a dozen before it colapses and..." As Aki kept narating the demise of the only remaining animal companion of the man comanding the state wide operation, the man cursed at him, even teaching some new words to those present, but in the end he surrendered in exchange for the life of his remaining companion before Juny could feed it the first 'cursed lolipop'.

"No, I'm not the one causing it, nor are my associates, nor the gods, or anyone! If we had such technology then such events would either not matter or they would have already happened!" Aros exclaimed, standing in front of the pile of beaten down cultivators who had attacked her on sight. "And you, even if you're not the planet's ruler, could you at least help explain such basic things?" She massaged her forehead while turning to the edgy teen dressed completely in black and showing off serated blades on either side.

"It is neither my problem or responsibility to..." As she kicked his legs and shoved his head on the dirt, she kneed the angel guy on the back, basically riding him by the wings.

"You're not supposed to try and poison the people around you for the sake of it either fuck face." She spat on his face.

"Is there a need for such brutality?" Asked the downed and half disrobed woman.

"This is the fucking third time in a row, so yes, there is! Have you ever even heard of the concepts of peace or ever tried being actually nice to someone?" She spat, completely shredding another mindless follower of hers trying to throw themselves to save their mistress. Not one was below spirit realm. Not one could move after one barrage of light constructs. "I'll be sure to fill you in as uncooperative and dangerous for all, freak." Was her closing statement to three chosen in a row.

The chosen of Eris wanted to kill her and set all the spirit realm practitioners against her. The chosen of Ares tried very hard to fight her and got his ass handed to him.

Aphrodite's constantly tried to seduce her, Hepheaustus didn't even show his face, Apollo's was so annoying she literally has to knock him out to be heard, Artemis' didn't hear anything she said because she apparently fell in love at first sight, Poseidon's was fighting and fucking. Don't even ask about Dionisious' chosen.

In the end, the only ones that heard her were the chosen of Athena, Zeus, Hestia and Hades, but she couldn't tell if anyone but the bearded guy on the orphanage had learned anything new.

*****

"I fucking told you this was a secret passage, and you're paying up with part of your loot." Aki told Elliot while dodging lightning, which was surprisingly easy to do when you knew how to and carried magical magnets around.

"It was a cave in the middle of fucking nowhere, how was i supposed to know?" Complained Ben's sister while hidding behind a pillar and throwing exploding talismans, whose dust clouds were promptly used by Aki to advance. Tanking the some point blank discharges that traveled to fast to be displaced at this range, Aki promptly knocked the lights out of the demonic sect patriarch by kneeing him on the crotch and kicking his head after that. Blood could be seem staining his robe, but only on the area between his legs. "I thought pain didn't bother him, why did you crush his balls?" Questioned the woman, a bit bothered by the strange brutality.

"I thought it fitting, didn't think much about it. I'm going to take the demon with me though, he will be quite as a battery." He exclaimed before producing a nail long enough to fill his palm and positioning himself to hammer the man's navel.

"So that's why you asked for prisioners instead of loot." She mussed while leaving the room before he could start a surgery on the man's proto dantian.

*****

"Analisys complete, individual Ed Sheran does not infuse any kind of energy into his song lyrics. He's just that good woman, accept it." Said the ship's AI.

"Danm was i wrong about earth being useless because they didn't have wildspread cultivation." Aros grumbled while downing her sixth mug of coffee.

"Dind't he say those cause hightened anxiety?"

"Hush you, it has milk. When your mistress starts doing some hard drugs you can start criticising me." She rebutted.

"Acknowledged."

*****

"And what's the name of that manual again?" She asked.

"Great empress of Lust's notes on punishment and pleasure, and I'm not sharing it with you." Aki told Elizabeth while another enslaved cultivator went down the stairs to the recently expanded basement. He'd already used a taming technique to overwrite their wills. They'd suffer and feed him with their wails of despair all the same though, since their counciousness was suppressed, but still fully capable of understanding their surroundings.

"It's still disturbing. Those are people dude." Ben shuddered. He didn't want to know what would happen to them, but still.

"They all threw away that part of them long ago, so I can't say I actually give a fuck about that. Right now they are just cattle. Worse really, since cows and other such animals are guiltless and pitiful. While I'd like to point out that I would deprive myself of their meat and produce if they were sentient and or sapient, they are not. These guys on the other hand simply don't deserve pity." Aki shrugged. "That's exactly why they are D-class. Disposable." He decided not to mention the E-Class people that were already there.

"Hey, Aki, can I get some of those?" Asked Minthy from the next room.

"Yeah, sure. Try not to kill the first five too quick. You're still prohibited from fucking! Call me if you need anything else!" He explained, surprising his charge as two hunks, one baby faced young man and two blonde women practically teleported to her side.

*****

Reaching the area allocated to another pantheon, Aros decided to put some light hearted music on her communicator and not drink any more coffee for a while. Hopping that the people she'd have to deal with wouldn't just be personifications of their patrons, because the Norse pantheon was very bad to deal with.

*****

As Aki finished the satanic orgy, because really, there's no other words for it, all the E-class personal collapsed on the floor some, retching and vomiting while other's turned to self harm, generally screaming a lot.

Filling a formulary with who did what, he ordered them to clean themselves after some twenty minutes or so of wailing and to go sleep for the next eight hours. They'd then receive a table of contents with their new routines and cultivation methods.

After claiming their affinities for himself, it was relatively cheap to totally outfit E-4 to E-8 with proper training equipment and new scriptures.

Aki took his phone out, checking his messages again. This time it was there. His whole family had arrived at Washington DC and gotten escorted to high security hotels. He had an easy time explaining to president Astley that it was something of great importance, only needing to jokingly mention his ability to remotely detonate uranium at the end of the call for further assurance.

He'd be spending the next day entirely conforting them, but he didn't think anyone but his father and grandfather would understand his motives. That didn't mean they'd not complain together with everyone. It'd be a bit akward to have his mother-in-law in the room during the discusion since he didn't know how she was thanks to only interacting with her five times, so it was probably better to have her take care of the children while he explained things to everyone and leave the burden of relaying to his father.

It was still 3 A.m though, so he'd ask Minthy to send the pre-written message to them latter. He had a lot of conferences to attend. He could only hope the current Pope would be a reasonable guy, because the middle east was definetly going to need new religious leaders. He'd use the chance to carpet bomb whichever terrorist emcapment he could find.

Or maybe not. Now that Aki thought about it, he didn't have many attacks that covered large swats of land. He could do some orbital attacks, but that wasn't exactly easy to aim. He'd disintegrate them then, maybe even save some prisioners on the way.

*****

"So you're telling me you're not just doing this because you're a sadic fuck and actually believe any god that was ever consieved by mortal minds and worth worshipping for respect would actually give a fuck about people who don't follow their teaching to the letter?" Aki blinked. "How the flying fuck would something be both as powerfull as you believe and let such thing even be possible? He'd just need to fucking make humans diferent idiot." He murmurred while dislocating and tearing off the man's lower jaw and forcing him to kneel. "I'll be sending you to live in hell now. People are going to forget about you in some months since they are going to have better to do than mourn. That's what your whole existence is going to amount to, some dead people. You deserve tartarus just as much as the demons and gods there." He said while sealing his throat with fire. He'd never drink anything again. "Suffer well." Gently stepping on his chest, the leader of a jihadist group was allowed to enjoy his newfound immortality in another realm.

"Did you really need to have a talk with the man? He was clearly bonkers." Said Minthy, completly not surprised by the result and disliking the desert just as much as ten minutes ago.

"I need knowledge and understanding. I've spoken to many dead madman for that already, i see no reason as to why not add one man. Nero was quite the interesting figure, but he was simply too narcisistic to give a shit about the city. Hitler wanted power and adoration, but otherwise he is now a fine fellow since being repeatly castrated every day. Vargas went in over his head after getting used to power. Cleoprata, Alsibiades, Leonidas, Lenin, Mussolini, a lot of chinese emperor, the third reincarnation of confusious, Oda Nobunaga, so on so forth. It's more pleasent and effective than just standing around and reading some book or going to school." Aki shrugged, having started talking telepactically since the first sentence was said. He was already directing himself towards his meeting with the Pope and Dalai lama.

Other spiritual leaders hadn't reacted so well when asked for a meeting, so he'd be kidnapping them later so he could distinguish who would be useful during the apocalipse and who would cause panic and unrest.
