118 Ending The 'Threat'
Tens of Glyphs manifested around group of Grimm, and then unleashed a volley of elemental attacks, destroying the creatures with minimum effort.
The SDC Heiress even after witnessing this multiple times already, is still having a hard time believing how much more power she is wielding!
While she was having a hard time getting over it, her partner instead is having time of her life.
Ruby's upgraded scythe now has the function of being able to throw it like a boomerang, and possess an ability to send sharp winds from the bladed part of the scythe which she is calling 'Reaping Wind'...
Something Raynor added because he found that scythe should have it... basically an Otaku thing...
The Heiress decided to research the term 'Otaku' once this whole mess is over...
Her other teammates were not excluded in the upgrades, Blake's weapons got upgrades as well, most of the upgrades went to empowering her semblance, now she was a one-man army, or is it one girl's army?
Raynor even mentioned that he hopes that Kishimoto won't going to sue him for what he did.
Whoever 'Kishimoto' is...
While Yang's upgrades went to making her gauntlets much more durable, the design was upgraded and the 'shotgun' mode now has several variants to it, allowing 'concentrated shooting mode', 'barrage mode' and on top of that it helps with her Semblance and she can finally live up to her name of being 'Yang', flaming fists and all...
While Team RWBY were steamrolling through Grimm like there is no tomorrow, the rest, the professional Huntsmen were looking at the group of girls with awe.
Except for single man who had his own Scythe...
Because he was depressed...
*Sigh*
"You should be happy for them Qrow, now they can take care of themselves." Ozpin leisurely said to the huntsmen.
"Take care of themselves? this is beyond that! even your maidens don't have this kind of power!" Qrow pointed at his niece who dissected towering Grimm in half with her scythe, it was done effortlessly!
"Well they were all blessed by God of War what do you expect? we all were blessed by him." Ozpin said with shrug...
Qrow stopped In his tracks and looked at the headmaster.
"We were?" He asked with dumbfounded look.
"You haven't noticed? we are in the middle of Grimm most infested continent, all four Kingdoms are about to be besieged, yet none of us are afraid, or even panicking, instead morale is all-time high, we simply know we going to win..." The more Headmaster explained to Qrow the more the huntsmen realised that it's the truth!
"Wait a second! he is God of War as well!?" The man said with the slightly jealous look.
"As I said before, Yang is very broad..." Before Ozpin can finish Qrow rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, Yeah, I heard that before! now excuse me! I have Grimm to kill, and get something to drink!" Qrow waived his hand went to find some Grimm...
"I wonder how long before he realises that there is no shops or bars anywhere in hundreds of miles..." Ozpin chuckled, the Headmaster did a smart thing, he brought quite a bit of his Cocoa with him on this 'trip'...
~~~
Raynor's Buddha's spirit army advance was like an avalanche, in just a few hours most of Grimm in this 'inhospitable' continent were gone, they were punched out from existence.
Eventually, Raynor's spirit army with combined effort of the Huntsmen have surrounded Salem's dark castle.
"If Creatures of Grimm have a queen then this is the place," Yang said to her teammates, as they observed large almost crystalline-like dark purple castle, around this castle, there are pools of black liquid, after short observation, it was made clear, that these pools give birth to Creatures of Grimm...
"Yeah it's SO creepy!" Ruby said with a shudder.
"Let's get this over with, I have more important things to do," Weiss said to her teammates, once this whole mess is over she can focus on her life which is turning weirder by the day.
"Like cuddling with certain someone?" Yang teased Weiss.
"Something like that." Weiss reaction to the tease made Yang slightly pout in disappointment.
The Heiress is getting more and more immune to her teasing!
"I see you girls are having fun!" Raynor descended from the sky alongside with his assistant and bodyguard.
"Your army, which is terrifying, by the way! alongside these new weapons made this whole thing extremely easy, It doesn't even feel that we are at world-changing event right now." Weiss almost complained to Raynor how easy everything was!
"Well, that is just how it is..." Raynor shrugged at her 'complain', he is not here for drama after all...
"Anyway, let's end this whole thing, I am starting to feel hungry after all the action today." He commented before making his Buddhas starting to advance one last time.
"Hungry? you haven't even done anything remotely physically related!"
"I was keeping the morale support high you know!" He pouted at the Heiress.
~~~
"I should have realized that you will join Ozma side in this conflict."
The woman who said that had extremely pale complexion with black and red eyes, she was neighter angry or anything like that, she was more or less disappointed how the whole thing has ended up for her.
She was sitting in her black crystal-like throne, waiting for the arrival of her enemies.
"Me? joining forces?" Raynor was by all means and purposes offended by what this lady just said.
Raynor saw a lot of Dumbledore in Ozpin, like A LOT, but unlike the man of 'Greater Good', Ozpin more or less manoeuvred around him, to make whole situation for him to be better.
In other words, he acted like a manager who knew what Raynor want, and made sure that whatever he does will profit Ozpin as well.
"Your understanding of me is even worse than your pet girl you send to mess with MY entertainment!" Raynor said with narrowed eyes.
Salem narrowed her eyes at him as well, in the end, Raynor is a Deity, and she hates Gods to the very bone.
She slowly got up from her throne.
"In the end, you Gods only care about your entertainment, humans and everything else is just toys to you?"She asked that while descending from elevated platform.
*Sigh*
Raynor sighed and send a shockwave of energy blasting walls and ceiling away... making the whole room opened to outside.
"Once again, you know nothing of me! but I can agree on the entertainment part, unlike the ones which turned you into state you are right now, I am originally human, the powers I wield exists solely for continue to enjoy my hobby to maximum! everything else is just a bonus!" He continues to speak.
"That's why I took Original Yang as my Domain! Chaos, War, Destruction, Life, Sky, Fire... and many more! makes perfect powers for me!"
Salem stopped in her tracks hearing that.
"Then why are you here? the way it sounds you are here not to kill me?" She asked curiously.
"Nope... I am ending threat of controlled Grimm..." He snapped his fingers and bright flash consumed the whole area...
...
...
...
When Salem opened her eyes once again she was no longer had any connection to the Grimm.
She looked at her hands they were human! she was human again!?
"You are human now, I took your immortality away, and made your lifespan of average human," Raynor said with a bored tone.
As Primordial Deity, and someone who understands the concept of beginning and the end, he can't understand people who wish to live short lives...
Then again he was 'broken' being for a long time anyway...
"You can now live your average life." He said while turning around and walking away.
"W-Wait you just going to leave like this?" Now blonde asked him with a confused and shocked face.
"Yes, you are no threat to this world anymore, my "job' is done..." He said without turning back, he just waved his hand and disappeared.
Not long after that Ozpin and bunch of Huntsmen arrived at the destroyed throne room...
"S-Salem? h-how did you..." Ozpin asked with a shaky voice, right in front of him was a woman who he rescued all those years ago front the tower...
"Ozma? or it's Ozpin in this life?" Salem tried to say that with an icy voice, but after taking away all that corruption from her, make hard for her to be angry about something which happens many millennia ago.
"This is the... Grimm Queen? She is human for twin's sake!!!" Qrow said with nearly shouting voice.
"B-But she was!" Ozpin said with a shaky voice.
Salem looked at The Headmaster who was feeling like he was out of the loop.
"Your...Patron Deity I suppose, has fixed me Ozma, now arrest me, it's your win..." The Blond woman raised both of her hands, motioning to arrest her.
"T-This is..." Ozpin was confused what to do now, as he always though Salem is beyond saving... but now she looks like she was before anything has happened to her!
~~~
There was no climactic battle, or anything of that sort, some criminals were working under Salem but they were overwhelmed by the sheer number of Huntsmen who invaded the castle.
For the Huntsmen who went to on this 'critical' mission felt like they went outside the city walls and killed couple Grimm nothing more! it didn't felt like some critical mission which has world at stake!
Apart from visiting a continent never before explored or properly recorded, there as nothing else to it!
Once Salem was arrested and Grimm slaughtered, the Grimm pits were erased by Raynor when he snapped his fingers, so the Cruisers just opened fire on the castle, destroying it.
After that was smooth cruising back to Vale via Vacuo, as they will be dropping off Huntsmen who originated from there.
After Salem lost her powers over Grimm the hordes dispersed before they can assault the city walls of the Four Kingdoms.

"I thought you will be interested in that Princess..." Long Qing asked her master, she was curious why he just walked away from her.
"While she indeed fits the bill her personality does not, I have no interest in something like 'normal life', 'short lifespan' and 'having a bunch of kids' any time soon..." He said all that with distaste.
Only someone who was created by him would understand what Raynor truly meant by this.
"So, you consider her a 'normie'? " the raven-haired said with realisation.
"I do, at first I was curious, but after reading her mind, and undoing the corruption what was left is a woman who wants a normal life, and a bunch of kids, and someone who sees immortality as a curse." He said with a sigh.
Long Qing who has millions of years of memories, could only frown internally, she could not see herself only living a hundred years, only a hundred years with her master? what kind of punishment is that?
"In truth I can understand from where she is coming from, you live longer you need to have a stronger mentality, the twins never augmented her mind, only gave immortality, having mind of a mortal and living forever IS a curse..."
~~~
Not long after that Raynor was back in Beacon, it was made official that for next week there will be no classes or activities, meaning that everyone was free to do whatever they wanted...
"So, what are we going to do now?" Weiss walked over to Raynor side, the Primordial Dragon was enjoying the view he got from Beacon towards Forever Fall, a forest with red trees, very unique looking place in such non-cultivation world.
It's usually the Cultivation world which has incredible looking places because how laws are affecting them...
"We did ended the threat of Grimm, we have a week or so of holidays, do you wish to see Atlas now that your father has changed, and your mother started to take her duties seriously?" For second Weiss was... awed for the simple reason that he has changed the whole world, yet from his voice it sounded like he is casually talking about another simple afternoon activity.
In the end, she could only sigh, such power has warped him and probably already warping her as well...
"It would be nice... to see how the place has changed..." She agreed to his suggestion.
