Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: The Heir to Lightning

Aphrodite.- Welcome back, today I will divide you into 4 groups that will live in different areas of the GODS territory. These groups will be of 4 people who will live together for the rest of the year

Shu.- What is the objective?

Aphrodite.- Our goal is to be able to assign these groups joint missions in the future, so we analyze the compatibility of each one in order to create the best groups

Shu.- Now I understand

Aphrodite.- Now, without further ado, group number 1: Yohei, Lowa, Sebastian and Zef

Shu.- *Thinks* What a group, there are the strongest, no doubt there will be a lot of disputes

Aphrodite.- Group number 2: Lux, Isaac, Rika and Jake

Isaac.- Nada mal

Aphrodite.- Group number 3: Roy, Alice, Ryuzaki and Eris

Eris.- *Think* I got it with the happiest people... How lazy they are...

Roy.- *Thinks* Maybe I can flirt with Alice, because Eris is... A little quirky

Aphrodite.- Finally, group number 4: Eden, Shu, Yuki and Violet

Yuki.- With these two? Dammit...

Eden- Any problems?

Yuki.- No

Violet.- It will be a pleasure to be with you

Shu.- Welcome to this slightly conflicted group

Aphrodite: You must choose a leader of the group who will take care of any problems that occur in their residences

Yuki and Eden.- Shu

Shu: Do you work together to annoy me?

*Aphrodite throws Shu a wrench*

Aphrodite.- It seems to me the most logical thing to do, I would never give a responsibility to those two

Eden: Do you see? Aphrodite agrees

Shu.- If there's no other choice...

Aphrodite.- The rest of the groups must do the same. That said, tomorrow we will see you as always here, we will have to organize an event for a few days

*Changed perspective to group 4 residence*

Shu.- We've already arrived

*Shown a large house on the outskirts of town*

Shu.- According to Aphrodite's instructions, everyone's rooms have their name and it opens with your rank card

*Shu opens his door and his room is shown*

Shu.- It's not bad at all

Eden.- *Think* How is it possible that this place looks small on the outside and is huge on the inside?

*Eden leaves and sees her room*

Eden.- *Think* It's huge... This place is ten times bigger than my previous home

*Eden gets to see a box in a corner of the room*

Eden: What is this?

*Eden opens the box and finds a letter next to several packages*

-The letter- Hello Eden, I already received your previous letter and I am surprised that you have given several blows to Yohei, when I knew that he would be in GODS I was very surprised since he had the offer of other institutes, but I am glad that you can meet prodigies like him. On the other hand, I've been informed that in a few days the Meeting of Gods will be held, so I can't allow my idiot disciple to be badly dressed, so here I send you a ball gown for that night. But be careful, there are reports that those guys have started up again, and everything points to them appearing in GODS, although we don't know when, or how, I won't be able to go because we are also following in the footsteps of their other members, so be careful Att: Shun

Eden: *Think* Do those guys intend to come here? I'm not going to forgive them if I ever saw them

Shu.- That's a good room, isn't it?

Eden.- Yes, the truth is that they are very comfortable and cozy

Shu.- Yes. By the way, what's that box?

Eden.- It's nothing, it's just a gift from Shun, so that she can look elegant on the day of the meeting

Shu.- It's true, it's getting closer and closer to that day

Eden.- Yes

Shu.- Do you know that the Gold rank rooms are three times as big as mine?

Eden: Really? What privileges Gold ranks have

Shu.- Yes, that's why you have to get to the Gold rank as soon as possible

Eden: Yes, we'll be there very soon, the two of us together

Shu.- Yes

Eden: I'll go see the rooms of the Gold ranks.

Shu.- No, I have some things to fix, since my things arrive today

Eden: I see. Well, I'll see you later

Shu.- May it go well with you

*Perspective changed to Group 1 residency*

Eden.- Incredible, even the residence is bathed in gold, it seems that the people here don't have the same valuations as us

Yohei.- What are you doing here? No demons are allowed in this place

Eden.- Come on, don't be like that, I just came to see if the rumors about your rooms are true

Lowa.- Let the boy in, it will only be a moment. Go ahead and check out the rooms

Eden.- Thank you, Lowa

Lowa.- There's no reason to

*Eden enters the residence and gets a glimpse of Zef and Yohei's rooms*

Eden.- Unbelievable

Lowa.- They're great, aren't they?

Eden.- Yes

Lowa.- I trust you'll have yours soon, so don't let me down

Eden: You don't hate me?

Lowa.- No, I don't have any reason to do it, I don't care if you're a demon, I'm only interested in strong people, and from what they've said, you are

Eden: I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not

Lowa.- Really? I don't think Aphrodite and the other gods believe that, although it doesn't seem like it, most of them believe that the only people who are worth it are the strong. So, I think you should trust yourself a little bit more

Eden.- Thanks for the advice

Sebastian.- Demon, Yohei wants you to come out for a moment

Eden: What do you want now?

Lowa.- A saber

*Yohei and Eden are shown outside the residence*

Eden: What do you want?

Yohei.- Demon, I defy you

Eden: Huh? I don't have time for this

Yohei.- Are you just going to run away?

Eden: Can you explain to me what's going on with you? What have I done to make you hold a grudge or hatred against me?

Yohei.- If you defeat me, I'll explain it to you, if you don't, I'll never explain it to you

Eden: Damn, you're just pretending to be interesting. You're lucky I always carry my sword

*Eden pulls out Tenzak's sword and pushes away his grandfather's*

Eden.- *Think* I'm not ready to use it yet

Eden: So, if I win, you'll explain it to me, right?

Yohei.- That's right

Eden: You'd better prepare your explanation *The sword of Eden is covered by a dark aura*

Yohei.- *Thinks* That's impossible, just and we were taught this 2 days ago.

Eden.- *Think* Although I learned to use it recently, it wouldn't be bad to practice, although it is very difficult to keep it stable

*The sky begins to darken and lightning begins to strike*

Yohei: I hope you don't disappoint me, demon

Eden.- You've had enough of that nickname

*Eden goes on the attack at high speed*

*Yohei stops Eden with lightning in his hand*

Eden: What?

Yohei.- Too slow *Yohei's beam travels through Eden's entire body and he is expelled at high speed*

*Eden is shown lying on the ground shaking from the electricity in his body*

Yohei.- I thought that all those rumors that the gods spoke of were true, that of a boy with enormous demonic power capable of leaving even Zeus himself paralyzed, however, you disappoint me

Eden.- I don't know what you've heard, but I don't care about all that, I don't care what they think, I don't care what you think, I just came to fulfill my goal and I'm not going to stop, and if you stand in the way, I'll kill you

Yohei.- I want to see you try

Yohei.- Electrical Technique: Electrical Branches

*A large tree full of energy appears and multiple lightning strikes on it*

Eden: What's that?

*The branches of the tree connect to Yohei and he is filled with energy*

Eden: Hey, hey, is this serious?

Yohei.- Now I'm unstoppable

*Yohei throws multiple bolts of lightning that Eden tries to dodge, but they hit him*

Yohei.- It's useless, you could never reach the speed of my rays, you're too slow

Eden: I don't like to admit it, but this time you're right

Eden.- *Thinks* Damn, I see it so fucked up. Right now, I don't have a chance, my long-distance techniques won't be effective against him, let alone at close range since I can't get close.

Yohei.- I'll give you some advice, you'd better leave, this isn't your place, you only got here by sheer luck, but all of us who are here aspire to something great, not like you

Eden: Really? And what is that big goal you aspire to?

Yohei.- You wouldn't understand, even if you tried

Eden.- Come on, try it, you don't lose anything by saying it

My goal is to become a God, that I put an end to all those who take advantage of his power to make this world a more just place

Eden: Is that all? I thought you would be someone more complex, with almost impossible goals, but I see that it is quite the opposite, you and I are not so different

Yohei: Don't even think about comparing me to you, demon

Eden: Why? You and I are just as much idiots

Yohei.- What do you mean by that?

*The Sword of Eden cuts the roots of Yohei's technique, stripping him of all his energy*

Yohei.- What?

Eden.- *Think* I've made it, now I just have...

* Eden realizes that Yohei is watching him fixedly *

Yohei.- Seal of Electricity

*Eden's entire body is engulfed in electricity and begins to suffer immense pain*

Yohei: Did you really think that such a slow attack would take me by surprise?

*Eden begins to scream in pain*

Yohei.- You're pathetic, you'd better leave, didn't I tell you? You don't belong here, demon

Eden: You don't decide!

*Yohei's mind is enveloped by a very dense dark aura*

Unknown 13.- *Starts laughing* Insignificant demigod, I'll tear you to pieces and rip every limb out of your body little by little

Yohei.- Surprising...

*The scene changes again and Shu and Lowa are shown pointing their weapons at Yohei*

Shu.- I warn you for the last time, release Eden or attack him.

*Yohei starts laughing wildly*

Shu.- What's so funny?

*Yohei's technique disappears and Yohei leaves*

Shu.- Where do you think you're going?!

Lowa.- Leave it, now the most important thing is to heal the boy

Shu.- Violet

Violet.- yes, I'll take care of it

*Violet begins to heal Eden*

*Perspective shifts and a completely cloudy location is shown*

Unknown 14.- What do you think you do?

Unknown 16.- I'm just doing my duty, stupid demon

*Several chains of light are shown imprisoning the demon*
