Rachnee was celebrating her victory well by enjoying her fresh bloody apple. Her lips were now a crimson red with the blood of this apple. Her once beautiful white hair was partially stained by the blood spatter of the apple.
The little spider was ignorant of the fact that cursed domains aren't meant to stay active after death, it needs a constant source of cursed energy to stay active. She never saw the need to study the powers bugs commonly used, since once a bug always a bug in her mind.
My body started twitching as it rose to stand once more. I coughed a bit of blood before speaking my mind to this stupid spider.
"I love my wife, and I can't stand to hurt her even if I know she's a fake. But, hurting myself is another matter." I said as the wound instantly healed before the spider's shocked eyes.
'I had purposely been protecting my head and chest as a fake out with my shield the entire time. READ MY MINE ALL YOU WANT SPIDER BITCH. My head was the fatal area as everything else could be destroyed for all I cared bitch.' (THIS CAN'T BE REAL.)
A golden helmet with purple runes had appeared on his head the moment I hugged Rachnee tightly in my arms in a bear hug. She started stabbing me with her claws. Yet, each wound she inflicted healed perfectly. She tried to destroy my head multiple times, but the golden helmet I summoned earlier protected it.
"Let's dance my dear, " I voiced as I looked at Rachnee, who still looked like my lovely wife.
. . .
Suddenly the golden array of golden weapons in the sky crashed into James at high speeds breaking the sound barrier with his newfound determination.
The little spider didn't have any time to avoid this. The golems were ultimately useless against Rachnee as she tried hijacking their control from him multiple times. James had other weapons similar to the golems, but he didn't summon them after realizing they would probably suffer the same fate.
For a straight minute, a ceaseless storm of golden weapons rained down upon James. No matter what happened he kept regenerating and it reached a limit as his body was fully destroyed.
After the onslaught of weapons ended not much remained intact. As the blood fog cleared, a bloody mess was created as only a golden helmet escaped unharmed from the carnage all around it.
Yet James's head within the helmet was perfectly safe as his flesh below the neck started to grow again. James's body started regenerating from his severed head to perfectly rebuild his body.
His body regenerated the bones first, then the muscles, veins, nervous system, and organs, then it started making blood before it finally created the skin and everything else.
"Damn fucking spider, Witch Of Greed, or not mess with my family, I'll kill you." I expressed while standing in MY domain completely naked as I bent down to pick up the ring my wife crafted for me from the pile of flesh & spider trash.
I put it on before opening up my ring to grab some clothes out of my storage ring/ wedding ring. While picking it up I took off his helmet as it started to feel weird. The golden helmet turned completely white with golden spider web patterns on it. Before my very eyes, the helmet turned into a white mask with a giant golden spiderweb engraving on it. It had two eye holes, but besides that, it was rather plain.
"Damn these fucking Beyonders and their insane powers." I blurted out as I started to sigh in anger. After sighing for awhile I took out a mini statue of myself that turned into an old man the second it came out of the ring." I looked at it before putting it back inside with the other statues she made.
The sound of the blacksmith's hammer forging his weapon with his strikes ended for the last time. At the beginning of the fight when he started attacking, the blacksmith hits could be heard every 3 seconds. Its melody of forging finally ended at its 700th strike.
The gold helmet-turned mask was put inside the ring like everything else. Soon enough the infinite energy faded as my energy reserves went back to normal. The golden floor and blue sun went back to normal as my enhanced energy faded.
'I didn't really lose anything in the fight, but the constant regeneration and stress from the fight caused my body to seemingly reach superhuman levels of strength & durability in its base form. My body's magic resistance was truly an impressive sight to behold. With this kind of upgrade, I could probably apply to be a grade four jujutsu sorcerer, in other words, I'm probably a city block-level powerhouse with all my new abilities. Though my cursed energy reserves were still grade five in rank at the building buster level.' I thought while admiring myself a little longer before rushing to my family's side.
With the wave of my arms, the shields protecting my family unfolded and vanished into the air. I went to see my wife and son only to find them completely asleep and unharmed.
. . .
While James was doing all this a lady with pure white hair, a pair of black eyes, and skin as white as snow with a black dress appeared.
James couldn't even sense her with his superhuman senses or her literally being in his domain that was meant to sense anything to launch weapons at them.
I laughed at the lifeless pile of flesh still on the ground. "Rachnee, what did I say about playing with your food?" I expressed to the pile of flesh before my eyes. The very same pile of flesh that was once lifeless reformed instantly. A lady in a silk white dress with white hair, and eight black eyes, rose from the pile of flesh that was quickly absorbed into her.
"I am sorry master, I failed you." Rachnee said while kneeling to her lady. Ignoring the fact her lady just brought her back to life like she was used to it already.
"Don't worry, your dance with James was fun to watch. Yes, I was watching the entire time, and no I won't punish you so don't ask for it." I said
"As expected of my lady's, se–"
Rachnee tried to finish her, but she was cut off.
"Seeing something like the future and reading my mind is but child's play. You can stop the praise already Rachnee." I spoke as I smiled with interest, and tapped on Rachnee's forehead with my pointer finger.
Rachnee's mind was suddenly filled with new information from her lady.
"I understand my lady, I'll just watch and nothing more as ordered."
Before leaving I tapped on James, Emma, and Lucas's foreheads fixing them. I left some remnants of my servant's sloppiness, all the while refining it further to reach my standards.
'Lucas should enjoy my gift of a stronger will and higher determination. '
Now the boy would have greater dreams and both parents would be more supportive. They didn't need to remember what happened here as she reversed everything James lost, but let him keep the white mask and strengthened body.
'Every hero in a story should at least be allowed to keep his hard-earned loot after a hard-fought battle.' I anncouced as I looked upon James the father of my newest toy.
She looked upon his story and rewrote it to say he had found the mask long ago somewhere letting his mind fill in the blanks, and the strengthened body from Emma's grandpa's wedding gift he recently took.
"With that, my new game has been fixed, blocking off the sight of my game was done eight days ago." I said as I walked into a rainbow gate showing a field of grass on the other side.
Rachnee turned back into her small white spider form and hid in some random corner of the house. James was still lying on the couch with a newspaper on his head asleep.
. . .
I was still talking with mom and she was still explaining Eldian history to me.
"Only nine among them have the power to rival gods, but each dies after 13 years after obtaining the power." Emma finished her lesson after talking about a few more details involving the current holder of the founding titan, and his island's history with monsters.
"You got that sweetie?" Emma asked, but she felt a little odd, but she ignored it in the end.
"Mom the founding titan is essentially a God for the subjects of Ymir, who have Eldian blood right? Where is the secret history you promised me." I asked with a questioning tone.
'I'll ask her about souls later. What she talked about was more important. She said EY was the current king of Paradis island, the current holder of the founding titan. Mom told me that, but she also said EY was born in 1928 and became king in 1945 at 17. This doesn't make any sense if he had his titan powers in his teens, yet he is still alive to this day.' I knew something was wrong, but maybe I heard it wrong...
While I was brainstorming to make it all make sense my mom was watching it all go down. 'I'll give my baby boy a minute to come to his conclusions before telling him the secrets I promised at the start.' she thought
"When I told you secrets I meant it. Sweetie, back in World War Two it wasn't two nukes that forced Japan out of the war. The alliance between the nations & The United States didn't defeat Nazi Germany and its allies. It was all him, the devil of Paradis, the king of the Eldians, the newest God born in the modern age."
'EY shouldn't notice this right, while public history has been altered anyone in the supernatural community has easy access to this information.' Emma thought as she avoided using his name, and only talked about his titles or initials. (My lady wouldn't be so sloppy to let that idiot notice her little game)
"Mom, should we be talking about this? You told me that we shouldn't look upon the Beyonder Gods, and shouldn't use their names or else they will notice." I asked nervously as I kept looking around.
"So you weren't lying about your improved memory. I usually would be forced to repeat myself often. Yes, it is dangerous, but our house is warded in runes, magic spells, cursed barriers, and more for safety." (Yes the safest house in the world or so you think.)
'Not like any Beyonder Gods could notice, or come here anyways with how much security I added with James during the years.' (Ignorance truly is bliss.)
"So my baby boy has nothing to fear when you're home, just make sure to never say their true name out loud anywhere as they will always notice. No matter how isolated or safe you think you are!" Emma replied while emphasizing the last part.
'Guess our place is pretty safe after all. But, the music is getting a little annoying today.' I thought while trying to focus on my mom's information.
"Mom, can you turn off the music while I'm learning here, the Hex girls are great. But do you have to play their songs right now on your record player?" (Lucas you're no fun... The Hex girls have been my faviotre band since 1556 you know!)
"Fine, but I'll still have my music on any other time. You can't stop this sweetie, you know for a fact they are my favorite artists, they have been around since my grandma was a child." (Your grandma sure has taste Emma.)
'Wait a minute, didn't mom tell me her grandma was an ancient witch or something? Did I miss heard her or something?' (Maybe your mom did maybe she did not Lucas, keep on guessing kid.)
