Rias sighed when the Open House finally ended. She sat down at one of the many tables with Akeno, Kimi, and Shirone with her. They were not tired physically, but mentally. Turns out a maid cafe was only fun when you were the customer, not the maid.
She would not mind doing this for Maulketh, but he left along with her fellow harem members.
'I don't blame them though.'
As she was in thought, she felt her brother reach out to hold her hand with a smile.
"You ok Rias?"
She nodded with a small sigh.
"Yeah, but Maulketh was right in the end. I found this fun for the first hour or so before I got bored."
Grayfia's left eye began to twitch as Rias just called her job boring.
"Excuse me?"
Rias did not miss a beat and answered back. She was no longer scared of her Sister In Law. Maulketh's blood that ran through her veins did not allow her to fear anyone. If she did, she would shame her lover who gave her his blood.
"It was fun when Maulketh was here, but the rest of the day not so much. And why are you getting mad anyways?"
Grayfia did not answer.
"No reason."
She looked away right after, but Rias simply stood up.
"I better head home. Akeno, want to come?"
Akeno nodded.
"Sure Rias. I still got to talk a bit more with Maulketh."
They were about to teleport home, but a massive blaze of burning silver appeared in the Occult Research Club. From it walked out Maulketh with a yawn long since awake from his nap.
With him was Grimnar who like always kept the air of a happy three-headed dog for his master.
"Rias, you ready to go?"
Rias smiled and ran over to his side to hold his arm.
"Ready."
Akeno stood up and also walked next to him as well to hold his other arm.
"Can I come as well?"
He smiled as both girls pressed their sizable breasts on his huge arms.
"Sure. Sirzechs, we will talk again at the meeting day."
Sirzechs chose to ignore how his sister flirted with her lover.
"I will be there as I said."
Shirone was about to speak up about her sister, but before she got a word out a blaze of silver flames appeared from Maulketh's body to teleport them away. In an instant, they were gone which made her pout.
She just got her sister back and she had not gotten a chance to talk to her at all. And it did not seem that Maulketh was planning on giving her that chance at the moment.
---
When Maulketh reappeared at Rias' house he looked around for Kuroka as the girls had dragged her away for an interrogation. He could sense them in Rias' room talking to her about her life as they did not have the power to read a person's mind as well as he could.
And despite it they still wanted to get to know her as someone who had drawn his eyes.
"Seems they are having fun."
Rias could also feel them in her room.
"So, they are interrogating Kuroka?"
"Yup. Guess they have to have their initiation or something. You two might as well join them. As for me and Grimnar, we will be going back to my Continent. I got to keep an eye on my kin and get things ready. Join me when you're ready."
Rias reached out and grabbed his hand with a frown.
"Already?"
"Yeah, dragons are not prone to following orders and I can't be away for too long. I need to keep an eye on them for the time being until me and Athena can start placing the laws on the continent and reorganizing the three countries that make up my new territory. North America is a big place you know."
Rias nodded.
"Alright. Oh, before you forget you said you were going to give your clone a power up right?"
That reminded him of that.
"Thanks for the reminder. Akeno, we will have more time to speak soon."
Akeno understood that he was busy, but waiting a few hours was not bad.
"Of course. Take care of yourself you hear."
"Thanks."
With that said he and Grimnar walked out of Rias' house to find his clone. Marcus was at his former parent's house so that is where he went. He teleported into the living room which caused the Hyoudous to instantly fall under his domain.
Marcus was sitting on one of the couches meditating. When he felt his master and Father appear in front of him he instantly took the knee.
"Father."
Maulketh looked down at him for a moment.
"I said you were going to be my muscle in this country and I meant it. You are technically a dragon, but you need more strength. So, I have come to offer you more strength."
Maulketh placed his left hand over his right arm to draw out some Bone Marrow. His Marrow passed through his arm and looked like a liquid-burning black fire with a golden glow. Seeing what he had in hand Marcus lowered his head.
"I will not fail you."
Maulketh grinned.
"Of course, you won't."
With a wave of his hand, the Marrow entered Marcus' body and fused with his marrow. That caused a wave of power to flow throughout his entire body as he drew out the power from it. How much power he drew out depended on him.
And with that done he teleported back to Mount Olympus which he left to Ares and Athena for the moment. He knew he needed to speak to Hades soon, as well who had been in Tarturus for a while.
But first, he appeared in the Throne Room of the Olympians. The former throne of Zeus which had become his sat in the middle of the room while Hermes' Throne sat empty.
As for the rest of the Thrones, they were all full. The Greek gods that he had left alive had been hard at work to try to keep some order with the Dragons spreading through the continent.
Already, the many different types of dragons had covered the entire continent as they choose their territories. The entire Continent was more than big enough for the moment, but very soon he would probably annex South America as well.
Why should his brethren limit themselves to a single continent? When the many Olympians saw him teleport into the throne room they all had different reactions. Athena, Ares, Hestia, and Hephestus, who had directly supported them were glad he was back.
Poseidon who he allowed to keep his throne was a bit nervous about his return. Meanwhile, Hera was simply glad she was free from Zeus. As for Artemis, and Apollo, they did not mind his rule as he allowed them to save their mother.
Seeing the Olympians here was a good thing.
"Good. You are all here."
He walked toward his throne which he would not keep for very long. He sat down on it while Grimnar sat on Hermes' former throne.
"I am sure there is some Chaos as my kin fully pick out their territories. That is to be expected, but it is time for us to begin to place some new rules. You are all free to give your ideas as we speak.
Now, you are all gods, and worship is directly tied to how strong you all get. So, Ares, Athena, how hard would it be to replace the religions in the continent with ones that worship Ophis, Great Red, and yourselves."
Athena instantly responded.
"The most common Religion in the continent is Christianity. Replacing it with a new religion toward the Dragon Gods and us Greeks would actually be pretty hard if not for your Principle of Tyranny. But, what about God? He will more surely intervene in this eventually."
It seemed that the Three factions had hidden God's death well.
"No need to worry about that. God has been dead for a long time. Michael has been the one in charge for a while so back on topic."
That instantly caused a wave of shock through the gods. No one besides a few people knew that piece of information. But hearing it from Maulketh made many things clear.
Athena cleared her thoughts from that and went back to Maulketh's plan.
"That changes things. We first would have to remove every single location of worship through the continent. The current generation is currently under your Laws, but the next one can be raised under worshiping very real beings."
Maulketh thought about it for a moment.
"Alright. Ares, you have an army of your own yes?"
Ares nodded.
"Of course. I can just as easily take control of the entire U.S., Mexican, and Canadian armed forces with my new symbols of power. What do you want me to do?"
"Lead them personally. I want you to go through the Continent and tear up crime groups. My Law that I placed saying to act like Normal did not remove Crime. I want you to rip up any Gangs, Cartels, Mafias, and the like.
Take Dragons with you as they will serve me. Once you are done, I want locations of worship to be replaced with a new religion. One that will worship the Dragon Gods at the top, followed by the Greek gods and the Norse gods who will soon join me on this continent. Who can write up that religion?"
Athena offered to do it.
"I will do it. I will have to speak to Odin before I can write anything about them though."
He nodded.
"Accepted. Anything else."
Hestia spoke up.
"What will happen once your control wares off?"
"Once that happens, our hold on the continent will be firm and unbreakable. With how strong Ares has become, along with my army of dragons, no one will be able to break our hold on this continent. From then on we can work on improving the lives of everyone who calls this continent home.
Now, to work on the Laws."
Artemis spoke up.
"Now we need to decide on punishments. The law of man was built to favor the rich, but that needs to change."
He agreed.
"Alright, first and foremost the crimes that dictate execution. Rape first and foremost will not be punishable by torture. No longer will someone like Zeus or even humans be allowed to do so. Murder without just cause will be grounds for instant execution.
As for the abuse of children and animals. Treason and betrayal shall also be punishable by death. However, for crimes like theft, will merely be punished with hard labor."
Hera had an idea.
"Infidelity should be punishable by death yes?"
He shook his head.
"No. Instead, heavy fines and hard labor."
The gods all nodded as those felt fair. Now, Poseidon spoke up.
"What about the seas? Human pollution still runs rampant in my oceans."
"And that will change. Instead of relying on something like fossil fuels, magical alternatives shall be found. With a full continent of humans, you may all pick out mortals to add to your armies.
Ares shall keep control of the armed forces, but he will work together with Athena. Hephestus, is it possible for your worshipers to worship you for something different?"
Hephestus nodded.
"It is possible, but it will take a long time."
He had an idea.
"Instead of the god of just blacksmiths, you shall be worshiped as the god of Researchers. Long ago, you must have had lots of worshipers, but not anymore. So let's change with the times."
Hephestus grinned.
"I accept the role, sir."
Demeter raised her hand.
"Question? What of the harvests and the seasons? If you don't know already, everything about your kind is magical. You draw in magic, and you produce it endlessly. Even your shit is magical and with so many dragons, magic density will increase rapidly."
That was a good point.
"As you say, Dragon shit is magical. I can have my kin sell their waste to fertilize farm land. Instead of growing regular crops, we can get humans to grow magical crops and not on the mainland. I can create permanent Bounded Fields that can be dedicated to farming.
That way, nature can return to the continent."
That made Artemis very happy. If they did that, the increased mana would create larger forests, healthier animals to hunt, and magical at that.
"I support this idea."
Demeter actually began to smile as giant Bounded Fields just for farmland did not nice. But now, Aphrodite spoke up.
"And what about love?"
Maulketh shrugged.
"Why would that change?"
She respoke.
"What if us gods take a fancy to a mortal? Do we have to give up that aspect of ourselves?"
He had only one thing to say to that.
"That will have to change. From now on, if you gods get someone pregnant, or get pregnant, you will have to take care of your child. That is all, I don't care if you keep having flings. However, we will have to speak on what to do with the Demigods that already exist."
Dionysus hiccuped from his wine chalice.
"Why not turn them into gods?"
Maulketh shook his head.
"No, too many new gods will be a problem. That must be something they earn. Only the best of your children should be elevated to godhood. And if you wish to elevate more, test them as usual."
That was agreed on by the gods. With the biggest aspects out of the way, Maulketh spoke up once more.
"This continent has three countries, Canada, America, and Mexico. That will be done away with. The three countries will be merged into a new mega country, but the culture of the former three won't just leave.
We need a new image, and a new culture to last for the next centuries. Slowly and surely we will fully replace the old culture with a new one. But for the moment, we just will wait until my kin fully settle down. As for a name for this new realm, I will think about it. I am not good with names."
That caused Ares to laugh.
"Fuck that. Just call it the Dragon God Realm."
Maulketh smiled.
"Fine, Dragon God Realm it is. We have some time to get some orders in place, so for the moment let's get to work."
Ares stood up as his Symbols of Power appeared on his body. His spear, armor, and sword resonated as his aura spread through the entire continent. Every member of the armed forces paused as their eyes began to burn just like Ares'.
'Mobilize, it's time to work.'
Seeing how strong Ares had gotten shocked Poseidon. He felt even if he, Zeus who was dead, and Hades worked together they would lose against this new Ares. Seeing that made Maulketh and Hephestus smile.
Maulketh pointed at Hephestus.
"You can all get new symbols of power as well in due time. For now, work time."
