( Days After. )
The whole world is in panic, especially in countries like France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
Many Gifted People lose their Gifts because of their dead gods in the Niigata Sea massacre, many began to go on a riot as they demonstrate the death of their gods to the gods who govern their country, pleading with the gods to return them their Gifts.
" Return us our Gift Cores! "
" Give us our Gift Cores! "
" F*k! " Loki slams his head with his hand, he sees the whole thing through his Monitor in his throne room.
* Loki scratches his hair, wondering if he had any solutions for this. *
" F*k how things went this way...? " Loki asks, wondering what he should do, as he thinks of it, he begins to wonder if he should continue on the 'God Hunter Tournament'.
" With this going on, I could damn say that many would quit their jobs as Hunters and Inquisitors, even the priest and priestesses. "
" F*k you, White Demon, to think you're able to wipe them all out. " Loki says to himself, while he still felt relieved that this will make the White Demon more hated and make the other gods divert their attention more towards the Demon, but on the contrary.
" This mess would give us, the Divine gods, more indictment. "
" Since the people now had no choice but to put their full faith in us, it means we had no choice but to fulfill their 'high' expectations. "
" If we fail in one moment, the people would likely lose their faith, or worse, they could join the White Demon's cause out of fear. "
" Damn, this is such a miscalculation, despite this still part of my luck. "
" I've successfully diverted all the other gods' attention from my secret monopoly plots, but instead I've created a powerful villain, more powerful and dangerous than our primary villains the 'Deviant Monarchs'. "
" A villain that if succeeds, could kill us all the Divine Gods, just like what he did in Niigata Sea. "
" And the so-called 'Black Shadows', the ones' I see through Yukino's eyes back during the White Demon's fight with Adrian Waterson... "
" Are now the most threatening forces outside the Demons and their monsters. "
" Ten times more deadly. "
" Damn, I wish Yukino's was here, sh*t, the White Demon had already taken her. "
" But, why? " Loki thinks for a sec.
" He could've just... 'kill' her. " Loki wonders about it, but then.
"( Hey Loki! )" Zeus calls through the mind, making Loki startled.
"( S*t uncle, would you stop surprising me! )" Loki asks while shouting at him.
"( By the way, how's your hands? )" Loki asks formally.
"( Ugh, not great! )"
"( I had to replace them both with one reforged from Atlantis, Poseidon's gift for me to help me recover. )"
"( Dammit, if big brother Poseidon was there back in Niigata Sea, that arrogant-! )"
"( Yes if uncle Poseidon was there, things could've turned to our favor. )"
"( But uncle, don't forget that Lord Poseidon is a neutral god who only cares for his own domain, Atlantis. )"
"( Despite his claims to be the 'Guardian of the Sea', his care is exclusively towards 'Atlantis' alone. )"
"( I get you, boy, that's why I'm still pissed. )"
"( Since I get from the Nymphs that Hephaestus and Hermes are with him now, those two bastards! )"
"( They flee from Olympus since they know things get f*ked after the Abyss Tower! )"
"( Well, if I had no qualms about ruling the mortals I would've done so, Uncle... )"
"( F*k you, Loki! )"
"( S*t this is getting out of hand, the White Demon's intervention over our 'war' had given us great casualties, especially me. )"
"( Not to mention, thanks to your 'First Hunter', Andrew K. )"
"( We already lose the primary Diviners from Takamagahara, Japan! )"
"( Now, we had lose Zhong Kui, that little investigator, even though we still need his power. )"
"( Uncle, we agreed to replace that one with 'Muruga', yes? )"
"( I know, his powers of 'Divine Repentance' could bring massacre to our enemies which is why we need him recovered and empowered first. )"
"( But still, this loss is unacceptable, how could we not see this 'White Demon' variable in this Timeline!? )" Zeus asks.
"( Because he is something new, Uncle... )" Loki quickly answers.
"( Or perhaps... )" Loki suddenly pauses.
"( What is it? )" Zeus asks while Loki suddenly remembers something, something he used to see in the Previous Timeline.
"( The Divine Hero... )" Loki says.
"( 'The Divine Hero'...? )" Zeus asks.
"( Where I heard that before? )"
"( Not 'where', uncle, 'when'. )" Loki corrects Zeus.
"( I remembered her, was her name 'Carla Kent'. )" Loki asks which made Zeus remember.
"( Oh yes, her... )"
"( That one girl from the 'Previous Timelines', our 'Divine Weapon'. )"
"( Hmph, not so Divine during her execution, isn't she? How many times we did do it to her, hey, Loki? )" Zeus asks while chuckling, which he suddenly realized.
"( Wait, what's with her, all of the sudden? Why did you mention her, Loki? )" Zeus asks while Loki tries to remember something.
"( Nah, it's nothing, it's just... )" Loki remembers the mentioned person's physique that he remembers which he then remembers the White Demon, remembering that both had similar long hair despite their gender.
"( Hmph... )"
"( That would be too similar... )"
"( But that woman is actually a 'human', right? )"
"( Just like the 'Previous Times'. )"
"( Well, who knows, boy? )"
"( Perhaps the reboot changed her existence in the world or something... )"
"( That can't be uncle, that can't be. )"
"( Because I know that woman had a grandfather, I think his name is Ra-, oh, Ragna... )"
"( Ragna Kent, oh yes, the Divine Hero always mentions him. )" Zeus remember after jogging his Divine Memory.
"( Wait, isn't he the- )"
"( Ah! The child from the September 6th, 2015's incident, I know! The one with Indura! )" Zeus remembers, remembering that he also had some things during that time.
"( Yes, that was him. )"
"( I know him because he is Andrew K.'s nephew! )" Loki shouts.
"( Oh really, he's the grandfather of the Divine Hero in the Previous Timelines and the nephew of the First Hunter in the Current Timeline? )"
"( Wow, what a family!? )"
"( Hmmm..., if that's the case, if she will exist in the coming years, she must've been stronger than her 'Previous Timeline' incarnations due to her Current Timeline' family. )"
"( It may be, but the grandfather, Ragna Kent is Ungifted and most of all... )" Loki tries to say it but he shrugs it.
"( What is it? )" Zeus asks.
"( That might've need more investigation, Uncle Zeus! )"
"( But for now, I believe we should call the other Divine Gods to schedule a meeting. )"
"( To solve this White Demon problem? )"
"( Yes, we should use this moment to our advantage in gathering our forces. )"
"( Perhaps without combined strength through one cause, we might make a swift end towards the White Demon. )" Loki says which made Zeus smirk in his place.
"( A great thought indeed... )"
"( I will try asking them then, hope Poseidon will also participate. )" Zeus says as he laughs while ending the communication.
As the conversation ends, Loki then thinks for a bit as he recounted what he says.
" Ragna Kent... "
" Oh yes, after that deal with Andrew, how long I forget to set my eyes upon him, he's still in Trinia, isn't he? "
" Hmph, I hope he survived the Abyss Tower evacuation ordeal, I haven't met him for a time. "
" Hope he's okay, right now. " Loki hopes for Ragna Kent, meanwhile.
( In the other place. )
< Location: Deviant Horde Dungeon (S) >
" Atchoo! " Ragna sneezes in front of Ragna Twelve, 69, and Hundred.
" Seriously, I felt a great itch to my nose... " Ragna says to them while he wipes it.
" Disgusting, your actions ruined your handsome appearance. " Ragna Twelve says while Ragna, still being a teenager he is, half-kid, half-adult, acts so childishly as he finishes the Raid over this Dungeon.
