After everyone got claims, almost 60 percent ended up claimed by Kurayami, Azrael, Sirzechs, Ajuka, Nyx, and Hades. As they were all going to work together it meant that the Greek gods would have to play nice with the Shinto gods.
Despite the fact they could not stand each other, Hades was not one of the male gods Amaterasu banned from Japan. Not like she could with his power, but Hades was a loyal husband that only had eyes for Persephone.
Amaterasu ended up staking a claim as she also had a faction behind her. She planned to bring several of her fellow gods and followers to start the work of setting up a base here on the Moon.
Kurayami was right that they could not keep thinking about limited gains on Earth. They were still mostly limited to this Solar system and he had been the match to reignite their drive.
Amaterasu glanced at Hades and Nyx who were both standing at the edge of the group with different expressions. Nyx looked as bubbly as usual as she felt that she was safe from Kurayami's mother. As long as she did not betray Kurayami, he would not have a reason to kill her.
Hades had gotten rid of most of his prejudice against Fallen and Devils. Despite that he had no love for them, Death had put him back in his place so he decided to just play nice.
As for Sirzechs and Ajuka, they both got some territories for both the Astartoh and Gremory clans. Sirzechs was going to nominate someone else as Rias had proven to be too incompetent to be trusted to do this job.
As for Ajuka he was going to leave this to Latia who had proven capable enough to be trusted with this. Azrael had no followers as he and Kurayami were part of the same faction so he let Kurayami deal with it.
They all grouped up as they were going to discuss some plans for the future. Kurayami looked at Raynare who was standing with him and Azrael as she liked to hear the discussions.
"Hey Raynare, bring out Cain. It's time to return the helm."
"Cain is not going to be happy, but it is the right thing to do."
Raynare summoned her familiar Cain which made Hades look at his Helm being treated as a head. The dullahan looked around and felt his new head was starting to separate from his neck. Despite having been bonded to it for a few months, Hades was its real owner.
This left Cain dejected as that was the best possible head he could have had. If he could cry he would be in tears as his horse tried to cheer him up. Even Raynare felt bad as he really liked the Helm of Darkness.
"Sorry Cain, it didn't belong to you."
Cain refused to look at her as he felt betrayed. Hades took it into his hand and returned it to his wand. He felt the power that felt an incomplete return to be whole once more.
"Finally my Helm is back to me."
Nyx patted him on the back.
"There, now it's back to you. Now play nice."
Hades did not dare reject her words as she was the strongest being in their pantheon.
"Fine."
Azrael looked at everyone here and started the meeting.
"Alright, we got 6 months before we bring the humans here as they are numerous. At best they will just be our servants as they all have to sign a magic pact to get here. We do not want them independent after all. They can be troublesome when given free will."
Hades saw no issue with that.
"I agree with that statement. Better put them in their place early on. My Grim Reapers will manage my territory. If we will be having to work together, what does that intel?"
Ajuka was even better than Latis at business so he answered for him.
"As we are all in an alliance, we must come up with a real treaty. We must allow troops from each side to enter each other's territory with reason and we must share information with each other. If this is a military alliance we will want to make sure they understand that. As for the humans, I agree with this."
Amaterasu also did not have many grievances about it.
"That is fine with me. Despite me not hating the humans, if we let them run rampant they will do the same they have done to Earth. They need to be controlled."
Sirzechs did not hate or look down on humans, but he saw what they meant.
"This is completely fine with me. As long as we can keep them restrained they will become dependent on us."
Kurayami nodded as this was acceptable for him as well.
"This is fine. Humans cannot be trusted to stay in their place. They need to know that we are the only reason they can get here so they have to pay tribute. Otherwise, we can leave them on their rock while we advance."
Natsume who was listening in started to hear just how far from human all the powerhouses were. She considered herself the most human of the fiances of Kurayami so hearing that kind of hurt.
"Kurayami, do you really mean that?"
He turned around and looked at Natsume. His face stayed as expressionless as it usually did, but his eyes were a bit warmer them normal.
"Natsume, you are no longer human. My mother may be human and I will never look down on her, but normal ignorant humans need to be controlled."
She hugged Griffon tightly as she did not know how to take that. Noticing her conflicted emotions, Esdeath, Raynare, and Akeno dragged her away to talk to her about this.
Esdeath turned around and smiled at him.
"We all support you in this endeavor. Weaklings are at the mercy of the strong. You are strong so don't feel bad."
Raynare also left him with some words.
"She is right. Continue with the plan, I don't think any of us safe for her have an issue with it."
Natsume glanced at the others who all nodded at her. Kuroka, Grayfia, Latia, Annabeth, Walburga and even Lavinia surprised her. Lavinia had seen the worst of what humans could do so she had lost her trust in them.
If even her caretaker betrayed her, while Mephisto a Devil did not, maybe humans were the worst. When they left Kurayami rubbed his eyes as Natsume was still the most trusting. Even Lavinia had shed that shell when she was betrayed.
Kuroka hugged his waist from behind as she looked up at him.
"Don't worry about her. She will come around eventually. She is the outlier among us I guess. Too human."
He reached down and rubbed her cat ears.
"I guess."
No one interrupted them as they were all but done with the main dealing. When she let go and backed off she bowed to apologize. She felt she interrupted an important meeting so now it was back to the 6 of them
Sirzechs had a pondering look on his face as he looked at the surface of the Moon.
"Once we begin to tap the resources here, when do we expand further? I know that we have not tapped all there is on Earth, but this is a chance to expand. When do we continue?"
Kurayami thought about it as he looked at Mars in the distance.
"It is best we stay on the Moon for a century. In that time we should get as strong as possible as we do not know if other civilizations exist further into the galaxy. We are all very insignificant at this moment so who knows if other worlds with being like us exist."
Azrael chuckled at the idea as his battle intent was stimulated.
"That actually sounds quite exciting. Does it not remind you of our youth Hades? You were once full of drive. Where is that warrior heart that impressed me so much?"
Hades grunted as it did. He was ancient, but it was around the time God made Azrael. They both fought over and over the millennia and he had come to enjoy those fights.
"Maybe I do Azrael. I still want to kill you though."
Azrael shrugged.
"Keep trying. Anyway, how do we proceed? Move troops here to begin-"
"Noisy."
At that moment they all got quiet. They turned from where the voice came from and saw the source standing next to Kurayami. Shin did not even feel her move, but he still felt a little scared but he held on.
He turned his head as she was standing right next to his head and Kurayami's leg. Kurayami turned around and looked down at who said that. It was a small girl in a gothic lolita dress that exposed her chest safe for masking tape around her little breasts.
He had to say that she did not have any embossment at that. She also had a cute face, but he felt it was a pity she was so young.
"Hello. Can I help you?"
When she heard his voice she looked up at his eyes as they reminded her of home. Her eyes were just as hollow as Kurayami's except they were dark grey instead of purple.
She pointed at Kurayami.
"You're strong. Your soul is pretty."
He had seen his soul and everyone told him that it looked terrifying. Hearing someone that could both see it and praise it gave her a good score in his book.
"Thank you. Everyone who looks at it thinks it is scary. I have no idea why."
Hades and Nyx both screamed in their heads at his words.
'YOUR MOTHER IS DEATH! YOU ARE THE SON OF DEATH! OF COURSE, IT IS TERRIFYING! YOU CAN KILL ANYTHING!'
Sirzech felt great power coming from her and he recognized her.
"You are Ophis are you not? I see you changed your form again."
Ophis nodded.
"It got boring. I like this one."
Azrael sighed.
"First you are an old man, then a little girl. You should probably cover up your chest. Perverts will flock to you."
She looked at her chest and was confused
"What is a pervert?"
Kurayami reached out and patted her on the head. Those who knew who she was thought she would get mad, but far from it. The instant his hand touched her head she felt like sparks ran from his hand to her back.
She sighed in happiness at the feeling which made Nyx look at his soul.
'Weird, normally it looks like a swirling mass of death, but now it looks calm. Women? Is that what keeps him retrained?'
She knew her own body was attractive so maybe that was good enough. She was also strong in this world's terms so he was more likely to accept her for her looks and strength.
She took a deeper breath as she fully enjoyed the aura that his body released. Plus, ever since he ascended from 12 winged fallen to 14th everything about him became near perfect.
Even his smell and that was one of the things dragons looked for in a mate. Her eyes flashed with some greed as she hugged his pant leg happily and started to absorb even more of his aura.
She decided to make him hers right now.
"Mine now."
He vanished and they all saw they were gone. Azrael rushed to the spot he was at and cursed.
"Fuck."
Nyx and Hades worried about what would happen if Ophis killed him or something, but that was not the worst part. Kuroka, Grayfia, Annabeth, Latia, Walburga, and Lavinia saw he got kidnapped and broke out laughing.
Kuroka shook her head as she saw everyone else panicking.
"He will be back. She thinks she can tame him, he will tame her."
Azrael sighed.
"Damn that brat. Even seducing conceptual beings."
Nyx rolled her eyes as that was not the only thing he was.
'He is the so of a conceptual being. It was going to happen.'
Ajuka sighed.
"I will head over to Grigori. While he is gone we will all continue with our plans. Let's just hope Ophsi brings him back quickly."
As for Kurayami, Shin and Ophis they appeared back in her room and she had him in a vice grip with a small smile on her face. Her face was a little red as she felt she finally found the perfect mate.
Plus he was strong so he had a chance to kick out Great Red from her home. Kurayami got conformable as he felt her little breasts on his chest. He wondered if his aura was really that good for even Ophis to be affected by it.
Now that he was here, he needed to see what she wanted.
