Chapter 44 - Useless Angel

"I said who? I've got like multiple sponsors so which one?" (MC)

"Well I've been sent by the Origin-" (Food)

"Let me stop you right there, so you're from number 4 aka the pantheon?" (MC)

"Yes" (Angel)

"But why? I'm already like 40X more powerful than you just using my current powerset and I'm not even talking about the Supernatural System" (MC)

"I do dare not doubt your power promised one" (Food)

"If you call me that again I will eat you wings first" (MC)

"Please Don't" (Angel)

"Continue" (MC)

"I am here to help you rule the Underworld because you cannot just brute force everything and expect to get your way" (Angel)

"Oh that's golden coming from the half angel sent by the gods" (MC)

"First we need to establish a sort of sect, guild, Group, organisation, pantheon however you want to call it" (Angel)

"It's either a Mafia or Cult choose" (MC)

"How can thou expect to me to pick the lesser of two evils?" (Angel)

"How about this you manage the cult or 'Peace Promoters' and I'll handle the Mafia" (MC)

"Were you a politician in the overworld?" (Angel)

"No, why?" (MC)

"No reason but yes I agree I think our ideals do not mix well together" (Angel)

"No shit Sherlock your a half angel slave sent by arrogant entitled gods and I'm technically still a highschooler with a god complex" (MC)

"So can you let me free?" (Angel)

I break the shackles

"Remember we'll meet up when we've got a decent amount of power and if you don't meet my expectations I will break that halo with my teeth" (MC)

"Are you always like this?" (Angel)

"You'll get used to it" (MC)

Leaving he sprouts wings and- wait wait wait I want wings

"HEY GET BACK HERE" (MC)

"I'M NOT RUNNING AWAY DON'T EAT ME!" (Angel)

So after that 'little' misunderstanding

"You want my soul!?" (Angel)

"But just a bit don't worry I've collected other souls I'll give you them as a replacement" (MC)

"I don't consent to this" (Angel)

"You have no choice" (MC)

Ok this time I'm really leaving but now look I got wings!

Black wings sprout from my back and I fly upwards into the sky

I'm doing a soft redo so that means no using my previous abilities from other worlds... well even if I wanted to there's kinda a restriction, basically my vessel can't hold this much power I'll elaborate about this later

Flying around to start my Mafia I need members and while forcing people to work under is fine it can end up with me getting stabbed in the back.... Literally

There's no shortage of stories like that where the big bad evil guy is weakened and his minion betrays him and the BBEG is me

Guess I really have to do some proper recruitment alright time to put these skills to use

I land on a nearby branch in the shadows

[Shadowy Friends]

"Ola?" (MC)

I feel a pair of eyes stare intensely at me from the shadows but when I look I see nothing

"Have you seen any powerful demons or maybe a place for powerful creatures? it really doesn't have to be specifically demons" (MC)

The shadows stretch out forming a black ball then twisting into a crow with purple glowing cracks around its red eyes

"Oh yeah there's quite a alot around here but they are pretty powerful if you're interested there's the Kingdom Of Masen in the north and 2 other notable kingdoms in the south and west" (Crow)

"Ok... Thanks?" (MC)

Unexpected voice I mean who would expect a crow to sound like Madara but I'll take it

"Anytime" (Crow)

It's body falls apart into black fire extinguishing itself disappearing back into the shadows

Let's head off to Masen and pray to god that there aren't any young masters oh wait I'm god nevermind maybe I could juts use them

Arriving I see a long line of merchants and travelers lining up to enter Masen

Wondering how I would get into Masen I remember Innocence so I wear my cloak and head straight in

"Name?" (Guard)

"..." (MC)

"Purpose?" (Guard)

"..." (MC)

"Occupation?" (Guard)

"..." (MC)

Looking up from the clipboard the guard holds a serious expression

"Listen I need some form of identification to you let in and take off that damn hood" (Guard)

Reaching for the hood the Guard sees Alan's eyes and Innocence which relies on hiding your true intentions and persona fades for a split second during that second the guard realised if he didn't let this man through blood will spill

"Ah! A Wandering Performer!? please come on in" (Guard)

The Guard spoke loudly clearing most of the suspicion on Alan because if you saw a man in a black hood saying nothing and giving off no presence you would think he was kinda sus

While I could've entered using BLINK or Time Stop I wanted to see the limits of my abilities/Innocence and I've learnt I need to buy a facemask and probably sunglasses

So.... Right! I'm making a Mafia

This should be easy first I need members.... so how the hell will I find members!?

[Take over pre-existing Mafia's or Recruit/Force people you want]

Riiiiiight, so there are others?

[Currently 16]

While exploring the city a man disheveled runs past me screaming

"HE HAS THE MONEY! I GAVE IT TO HIM!" (???)

"????????" (MC)

Following him were 24 men in black who stopped looked at me and pulled our their guns

"Ayo isn't this supposed to be in a fantasy setting!? What the hell is the Author on!" (MC)

Copious amounts of drugs

"EY WHERE YA GOT DE MONEY!?" (Mafioso)

"I don't have your money, I don't even know that guy" (MC)

"BULLSHIT! WHACK HIM!" (Mafioso)

Releasing smoke from my body I use Reach disarming them all and in the midst of their confusion I go on full Akimbo and just started blastin

As the smoke cleared there was only one left

His facade faded in the realisation death was staring him right in his face

He screamed and cried for help....

But Nobody Came..... (o ╹‿ ╹ o)

I manage to absorb their souls I'll check their powers but let me just leave a little message

Using their blood I write a little note in one of their hats

Just a little heads up

Later when the bodies where recovered:

"Who the hell would dare kill a member of the Black Sky?" (???)

Finding a message in the coats of the corpse he reads it

I'M COMING FOR YOU l‿l

Earlier:

All right let's see Bête could you just round it all up for me so I don't get confused and so the Author doesn't have to do so much writing/thinking

[Dark Blue Stage 2-6 Demon Soul]

[Demonata, Gunkata, Zion Ra, Fto Fto No Ki, Raxa, Merono (Acient), Vitaki = Assassin Art: Doctor Death]

[Tracker, Silence, Revence]

[Sound Manipulation, Spirit Summons, Ghost Weaponry, Martial Mastery, Imprint, Thought Manipulation, Connection, Cleaning]

[Spirits can be summoned if you had a connection or knew the spirit before their death although due to their astral body they cannot do much]

Wait if they're spirits can't they possess people?

[Only powerful spirits can possess living humans]

What about dead ones?

[Inhuman things like objects and bodies can be possessed by normal spirits although it can be troublesome as previous owners of the body will try to kill you and the spirit and different souls can degrade/damage the body]

"Alright I summon you! Go Mafioso 1!" (MC)

It looks like an elden ring summoning..

..... That's all I need to say

"WHY THE HELL AM I HERE!?" (Mafioso)

"Get in that body" (MC)

"WHAT!?" (Mafioso)

The spirit of the Mafioso proceeds to do so against his will, it looks like the Summon is bound to whatever the Summoner says

[My My, it seems like you've found a loophole]

You did not just do some Ara Ara shit

[I have no idea what you're talking about]

But yeah I did a kind of loophole

Reviving all the Mafioso's I presented them an offer

"All righ listen here, you now work for me" (MC)

"I want to say no but it looks like I seem to not be able to go against anything you say" (Mafioso)

"It's not that bad sure I'll probably, no I'll definitely treat you like American soldiers during the Vietnam war and force you to commit crimes against humanity but look on the bright side you're immortal now" (MC)

"There is no bright si- wait what?" (Mafioso)

"Technically whenever you die you can always go back into your body and as long as I'm around you can never really die, you still have to take care of that body though you don't want to be piloting walking bone mechs in meat armour" (MC)

Thinking about the possibilities of immortality many of them decided to go along with it and declared me as their new leader. The others who refused didn't have a choice to begin with

Creating the Mafia apparently was also classified as a organisation so the system registered it as is, now I just had to name it and make all my members join

[Lunaracy]

Members: 24

Head: Host

Notoriety: 0 (Nobody)

Power: Small Crew

Money: Broke as fuck

Influence: 0 (No Connections)

It just looks sad should I have just named it depression gang?

But now I have a way to recruit people.... yay

A shadow snake slithered it's way from my legs to my arm whispering into my ear

"We've found the man who ran away before~" (Snek)

"Right why was he running away?" (MC)

"Dona Cruise, he was this rich man who made his profits mainly from slave trading and scamming naive millionaires, he borrowed money from us and when we came to collect he ran off that weasel!" (Mafioso)

"In hindsight you guys probably should have seen that coming given his track record, tell me where he is" (MC)

Hunting him down I found him apparently located in this normal looking house except there were guards stationed everywhere so I decided to enter through the least conspicuous place imaginable..... Through the front door

Think about it you would be very focused on making sure to block off all other hidden or backdoor entrances that the front door would be not very fortified maybe a few guards here and there but after that you would ignore the whole area

Using sou- actually I think I'll let my Mafioso's do it instead to see if they're actually trained criminals or just retarted stormtroopers

[Share Abilities?]

I can do that!?

[Host can share abilities to members as well as their own abilities]

I'm gonna share all the ones I've obtained from killing people plus Twinkle Twinkle Suicide, Fighting Style: Amalgamation, CROSS and Time Stop to everyone so they'll be powerful but not too powerful

Not even a second after I had done that and issued the order the guards all appeared Infront me lined up like soldiers

So what happened was they used Time Stop then snapped their necks before absorbing their souls using CROSS after that they used the same loophole I found to revive and recruit them in my army.... It's official just call me a necromancer at this point cause I'm going to Sun-Jin Woo this shit and recruit all of the guards into my Mafia

So that's what my Mafioso's proceeded to do with everyone in that house

Members: 48

As we robbed- explored the house we couldn't find Dona anywhere but then one of my members who we're just gonna call Lunatics cause you know Lunaracy = Lunar + Lunacy and Members = Lunatic it all adds up so yeah they found a trap door which lead to this tunnel into a whole fucking colleseum

Long Story short it's like that colleseum in Tokyo Ghoul after sneaking around I converted a few people and managed to get some pretty helpful abilities

First I Shapeshifted into one of the People I converted and entered right in

"Invitation?" (Security)

"Here" (MC)

"Welcome Sir Emile" (Security)

Yes Shapeshifting is underrated and with Sound Manipulation I can easily change my voice to Whatever I want to

It's all very fancy everyone exudes an aura of importance anyone could tell this a place for people who come from high places

They all wore extravagant clothing some with Golden Suits, Capes and Cloaks, Dresses and others with just formal black and white Tuxedos which still looked quite expensive

Everyone all wore masks like it was like a Dishonored Party even I wore one

Diamond shaped windows lined into a circle displaying a arena

Two gates opened facing opposite to each other and two people walked out
