Cataclysmic wind raging on the divine court of Mount Olympus. The once divine architecture now reduced to rubbles like it was wrecked by explosives. Corpse strewn around dying the ground red. On the twelves throne, only one remains occupied and a man holds a black sword with golden guard and a guardless katana with yellow color theme.
"Impossible! How could a mortal like you- No, you are no mortal… You! You are an-" Before the mighty god could finish his words, his head slid down his severed neck and fall to the ground rolling.
Blood flow out from the corpse into a swirl and flow into the body of his killer who is lighting a cigarette without the need of lighter as the cigarette lit itself up. He inhaled and exhale out a the smoke with a sigh.
"You talk too much, Zeus." Leo said before he snap his finger and summoned a sikver haired maid.
"What can I do for you, Master?" The maid widened her eyes in surprise at the scenery surrounding her but refrained from talking as she maintained her professional image of a maid to not talk out of turn.
"Loot this place clean. There are still more pests coming." Leo said as he looked up to the sky that previously still had stars but now pitch black.
"As you wish, Master." The maid replied as she looked at her newly risen comrades that looked clueless and shocked.
Leo nodded and lightly jumped, causing a wide spider web crack as he catapulted to the air before he floated effortlessly in defiance of the gravitational pull. In the sky, a miniature sun appears behind him and eradicates the darkness enveloping the heaven with countless rays of light beams exploding out from its surface.
"Who are you to have the audacity to attack the Greek pantheon!"
A swirl appeared from the darkness above and a figure of a woman descended from it. Her appearance is drop dead gorgeous and tantalizing enough to evoke lust regardless of sexes with a mere glance. Pitch black pair of eyes and waterfall like hair down to her waist, her figure is perfect as if sculpted by higher existence than god and her voice despite anger, is very melodious to make her audience enamored. However, despite all that. Leo remained indifferent and stared at her as nothing more than another corpse piling up on the world of corpses he made with his own hand.
"Silent type, huh? They are usually the typical mysterious characters with hidden power to shake the world. But unfortunately for you, you are a man." The goddess declared with a haughty tone as she fearlessly approached Leo and stopped ten meters in front of him. "Since it's pointless to ask, I will beat the answer out from you later. Now come, this goddess is generous and gives you a free hit."
'With this Godly Virgin Killer Clothes Hades created. He is incapable of harming me. The light on the sensor is green. Heh, he does look like the serious type of man with only ambitions in mind to have time for women. Ah, that pile of bones is useful sometimes.' The goddess smirks as she waited for Leo to make his move. But, instead of making his move. He laughed as if he just heard a very funny joke.
"HahahahaHAHAHAHA!"
"What's so funny?" The goddess felt angry as if she was looked down upon.
"What's funny you ask? I just slaughtered this entire pantheon like sheeps in a slaughterhouse and you still look down on me and give me a free move instead of taking me seriously. Of course it's funny. Wouldn't you feel the same too in the same situation?" Leo stops laughing and wiping his tears. "Wouldn't you find it funny if a man on a guillotine said he would give you a free hit?"
"Huh?" The goddess couldn't process the words when a sudden pain assaulted her mind and Leo already disappeared. What she sees next is a claw-like hand pierced through her stomach, causing her to vomit a mouthful of blood while she is trying to process what happened.
"Why are all gods this idiotic? Letting their guard down even in a battle. You all are basically asking to be killed." The goddess heard an exasperated sigh of Leo that was now standing behind her with his arm deep inside her, literally and not sexually… unless you have that weird fetish.
(I'm not judging, I kinda low-key like guro too.)
"How… your att- *cough* -ack should be nullified."
"Hmn… it's a shame my authority doesn't work on you." Leo said while ignoring her words and appreciating her figure. Hr even took a curious sniff of her hair that has an indescribable fragrance while his arm retracted half way out from her gut and slither its way to her still beating heart. "Doesn't it feel romantic? I am literally about to steal your heart." He said while playful stroking and fondling her heart.
'This man is insane!' The goddess said in her mind while trying to struggle desperately from this deranged person.
"Man. It's hard to choose. Your authority is too good to let go. But it's a shame to kill such a beauty. What do you think I can do?"
The goddess immediately sees this as her opportunity. She didn't want to die. Those gods and their problems can go to hell with Hades.
"Hmn, yes. Her height is a little too tall… can't you make an exception? I mean, except her height. She can definitely pass as a loli, especially with her child-like face." Leo said but somehow isn't to the goddess but someone else.
"You know the loli with big boobs exist right? They even have an official category called Oppai Loli."
"Come on. Why are you being this fussy all of the sudden? Using you is the one complaining and even blackmailing me to recruit more girls." Leo said with an indignant tone and accidentally squeezed the heart in his hand and caused the goddess to release a painful yelp. "Uh, sorry about that." Leo apologized to the puzzled goddess before going back to arguing with this imaginary person.
"Yeah yeah, she has the resemblance to Asanagi-sensei doujin characters and I want to collect her. Happy now? Good." Leo finally sighed and turned to the goddess. "So, do you want to live or die and become my nourishment?" He asks with his blood red eyes gleaming with unspeakable horror behind it.
The entranced goddess snapped out of her revere with unspeakable emotions behind her terrified and dilated eyes. "I-I s-surrender. P-Please don't e-eat my s-soul." She stuttered as Leo could feel her heart beating crazily before he smelled the odor of ammonia.
Leo frowned as he noticed. "Really? Wetting yourself?" He sighed and stopped intimidating the goddess and pulled back his hand that was inside her and healed her with accelerated regeneration magic.
He then landed back on the court on top of Mount Olympus and saw Grayfia had already finished her job and patiently awaited her Master's triumphant return. It's not even a question if he would win or not especially when the Greek pantheon isn't the first but it's the third pantheon he destroyed in the course of a day after he got sick of the constant harassment from them whenever he went to 7-Eleven on Earth to buy beer and cigarettes.
"Congratulations on your victory, Master." Grayfia immediately lowered her head and bow respectfully while flaunting certain 'assets' on her body to make herself more pleasant in her Master's eyes.
When Grayfia lifted her body up, she saw a passed out Nyx grab by the collar on her Master's hand. She cannot sense the binding power that is present on herself and all other Undead Servants. "Another trophy, Master?"
"Yes. You know what to do with her." He passes Nyx over to Grayfia before he stroll over to the pile of pillaged treasure meticulously sorted by Grayfia by their type.
Seeing that her Master didn't give her the attention she wanted, she became disappointed and looked at the Primordial Goddess, Nyx, who had become another trophy her Master collected from his expedition. She looks at the wet patch on Nyx's crotch and wonders what can even terrified this goddess enough to lose control of her bladder. Then she messaged Serafall telepathically who arrived in the next moment through teleportation.
"Can you stop treating me like a convenient and portable washing machine?" Serafall grumbles as she arrives and immediately uses her Sitri clan bloodline's water manipulation to cleanse Nyx off her filth before sending her back to the base.
"This is the wish of our Master. Or do you have the intention to defy his will?" Grayfia frowned with an offended look at Serafall as she criticized her. But the Satan Leviathan didn't have the energy to argue back and simply get her job done here and return to her usual job back at the farm tending to the lifestocks.
"Hmn. Let's return." Leo arrived and finished storing away the loot.
The two Devil ladies followed behind him as he dismissed the Undead Servants other than the two and opened a gateway.
———
Two days later, while the rest of the supernatural world is in absolute pandemonium and anarchy after three pantheons erased overnight.
Meanwhile, Leo is in his study room calmly meditating with Grayfia always sticking close to him. Leo felt bad for Sirzechs because his wife succumbed to her clan trait and now seeing Leo as her Master that she must serve with her entire being. Leo compensates by giving Sirzech a magic mirror that can spy on anyone he wants. He made it with intention to allow the siscon to soothe his longing for his younger sister Rias.
(What could go wrong?)
'Exchange all the overlapping authority for Blood Echoes.'
[Done.]
Leo then focuses on the list of remaining authority on the screen.
'Hmn… Exchange those without combat application.'
[Done.]
The list shrinks again to less than two dozen.
'Wait. How is my progress on upgrading my True Body?'
[Close to completion. Just need more Blood Echoes.]
'How much more?'
[11 more authorities.]
The System then displays the required amount of Blood Echoes. With all the Blood Echoes he has in his hand right now, he can push the progress all the way from 44% to 86%.
Now, why is the upgrade prioritized enough to sacrifice the authorities Leo obtained?
Leo was trying to enter the Danmachi world but the resistance he encountered was too much for his current self. That's why he needs to upgrade his strength. Besides, having more power is better than none.
Leo looked at the list and chose out authorities that he really wanted. The rest will be converted into Blood Echoes by System.
'Leave out Vulcan and Hephaestus authorities. Convert the rest.'
[Done.]
[It would take some time for the upgrade to be done.]
'Okay.' Leo shrugs mentally and opens his eyes.
Leo saw Grayfia standing silently at the corner of the room like a mannequin almost because how still she is aside from the occasion breathing.
'Creepy…'
He stood up and left his room. He went downstairs and found Ophis and Pandora in the living room watching TV. Then he heard some noise outside. He exited the house and was standing on the porch where he saw the three girls on the beach having a sparring session. Leo sits on a chair and watches the battle unfold.
All three of them are flying in the sky, engaging almost in a dogfight manner. Mittelt have two pair of black feathered wings, Ravel have flaming wings iconic to Phenex and finally Tanya who didn't have wings, instead she is propelled by magic and outclassed the former two because she has the maneuverability of a helicopter and speed of a jet fighter.
"Come back here you lil shit!" Mittelt with an enraged state, creating 8 Light Spear simultaneously and propelled by another spell as it tore through the air and aimed to impale Tanya but she gracefully evaded each of them and emptied her entire magazine on Mittelt who instinctively created a magic shield to block the magic bullets that pack the punch of an artillery shell.
Now left only Ravel and Tanya. Both staring at each other for a moment.
"Draw?"
"Yes. Draw." Tanya agrees and dismisses her weapon as both land back on the beach.
The reason why Tanya didn't waste her time fighting Ravel is because the latter have Phenex regeneration which means very little in Tanya's arsenal can really injure Ravel. Even if she has, it's too deadly for sparring. As for Ravel, she lacks attacks that can hit Tanya who is too agile. So, both agree on a draw.
"Hey! That's unfair! Why am I always the one getting my ass kicked?" Mittelt stomped her feet in anger until she heard a cough.
"Leo?" Everyone noticed. "Did you come to watch our sparring?" Tanya made a leap with her Flight magic and arrived near the porch.
"Yeah, I have nothing to do at the moment." He nods as Mittelt and Ravel also arrive.
"I see. Then, can you come and help me build my rifle? There are some parts I need to upgrade." Tanya invited Leo.
"Hey! No hogging him for yourself, Tanya!" Mittelt quickly stood in front of Leo and stopped her adversary's advance.
"What hogging?" Tanya feigns ignorance and shrugs with a hidden smirk on her face. "I just ask for his help since we have the same interest in firearms."
While the two fight to decide who will spend time with Leo, Ravel sneaks past them and sits next to him.
If Leo and Tanya have the same interest in guns, Ravel and Leo enjoy spending time in silence. They watch the catfight that ensued while Grayfia serves tea and snacks on the table for them.
"Ah, Grayfia. How is Nyx?" Leo remembers the goddess he defeated.
"She is a little rebellious, Master. But worry not. The training will definitely fix her rebellious attitude." Grayfia replied.
"Hmn. Good." Leo said.
The rebellious attitude Grayfia is talking about is the negative Affection. Like Nyx who Leo subjugated by force. Would comply with words and follow orders. But deep inside their mind, they harbor resentment. Just like Nyx who had -300 Affection when Leo captured her.
So, why is this 'training' about?
Leo actually has no clue. Everything is done by Grayfia. Leo trusts her based on her results. He didn't know what she did. But those who go through the 'training' will return with high positive Affection. So, he simply trusted the process and didn't question much about it.
"Wait. Did you mean Nyx from the Greek pantheon?" Ravel overheard and was shocked.
"Yeah." Leo said while tasting the tea brewed using new tea leaves according to Grayfia.
"So, you already took down the Greek pantheon?"
"Yes." Leo replied calmly as if he was talking about breakfast instead of killing the entire group of gods. "The Egyptian and Roman pantheon too." He added which made Ravel spit out her tea in shock. Thankfully, Grayfia reacted fast and created a magic shield in front of Leo to prevent the tea from drenching him.
"Thank you, Grayfia." He thanked but Grayfia quickly replied. "I'm just doing my duty, Master."
"Mhm… anyway. I just wanted to inform the three of you. We will be going to the world I'm talking about previously. Tomorrow." He said, which made Tanya and Mittelt stop their argument and listen. "Make your preparation because our stay will be a lengthy one."
"Okay." They replied with anticipation and excitement.
A fantasy world with a massive dungeon that is surrounded by a city? Fantasy race? Sword and magic? Even a Devil and Fallen Angel like Mittelt and Ravel is excited. Not to mention Tanya who recently developed her interest in fantasy genre.
