Chapter 221

-Layla's Hotel Room, Kuoh Town, Earth ?????-

"Is this meager display the best that two proud Sayoongas can demonstrate? I am disappointed." Weerus, the destroyer of worlds, asked while shaking his head in disappointment. 

Son Gokuda and Vegetite were both on the ground panting in exhaustion. They were both covered in injuries after their hard fought battle against the Universe Destroyer Weerus. They were losing, but it wasn't over yet. They weren't going to give up! 

"Dammit Kakoorite! Get your shit together! Our only chance of beating Weerus is if we both transform into Super Sayoonga Green and fuse together!" Vegetite spat out with a look of determination. 

Gokuda slowly stood up despite his injuries. "You're right, Vegetite! Together, with the power of love and friendship, we will both defeat Weerus and reclaim the Drag So-balls!"

[This show is fucking awful…]

"I know! And yet I can't stop watching it!" I whined while clicking pause with the remote. If Drag So-ball had been released as a parody back on my Earth, it would have been an instant hit! Unfortunately, for this universe, it was not a parody. It was still funny to me though…

Watching Weerus, the knock off version of Beerus, beat the crap out of discount Goku and Vegeta had me thinking though. Being a Goddess might actually be pretty cool. At the very least, I would get a pretty substantial power up. This is something I had been thinking about for a while. 

I'd been interacting with Gods and Goddesses for months now, and even fighting against some of them. What would it be like to become one of them? "What would I even be the Goddess of? Fallen Angels?"

[You would probably be the Goddess of Angels, Hope, Gaming, and maybe…love?]

"L-Love?" I sputtered out. How did I qualify as a Goddess of love? 

[Well…you do have insatiable lust and a harem full of stunning women that keeps growing.]

"Assuming I wanted to be the Goddess of Angels, how exactly would I go about that?" I asked the System. 

[You would need around 10 Million Faith Energy, which is a lot considering right now you only have a paltry amount from your single follower. No matter how devoted Kunou Alter is, you're not going to become a goddess with just her praying to you.] 

That wasn't for the lack of trying on her part. My current Faith Energy pool was up to 153 with just her alone. It had been steadily rising these past few months no matter what Universe I was in. 

I sat back and continued watching the terrible anime as I pondered ways of acquiring Faith Energy without being so blatantly overt about it. Or maybe that was how I needed to start acting? 

[If you want to be the Goddess of Angels, then you need to start getting those Angels to pray towards you… and not towards your dead father. Honestly, their prayers are pretty much going to waste in these DxD universes where he's not around anymore.]

Regular white winged Angels were sustained with Faith Energy similar to how some gods and goddesses were, but they only needed a small amount. All the Angels in heaven only needed around 5% of all the Faith Energy that was being sent up there every single day. The other 95% was pretty much going to waste. In fact, I had some theories that that was the main cause of why Heaven's system was failing. It was basically being flooded with too much power and no way to manage it all. That was just a theory though. 

For all I knew, Father was just a shitty programmer, and his system simply was bound to fail at some point. Sacred Gears mutating or even having Balance Breakers had never meant to be intended after all. 

…A few hours of tv later.

-Congratulations! A quest has been completed!-

A random notification had me pausing the TV again. 

"Wait what!? What quest got completed?" I haven't been doing anything! I had just been laying on a hotel bed hate-watching some very bad anime! The anime in this world was awful and the System and I were having fun trash talking it as we watched. Drag So-ball was the best thing we watched so far…

[Drag-So-Ball was a monstrosity and whoever created it, in this world, deserves to be shot!] 

It was the middle of the night and I didn't feel like sleeping. I had grown used to sleeping with one of my lovers next to me… Yes, I could have just portaled back to my Universe to spend the night there, but that breaks the spirit of the adventure. What had happened while I was gone?

[Huh?…The–uh–The Hand has been destroyed… Someone apparently completed your quest for you while you were here lazing around.]

I blanched at that. "Someone did what!!!? …It must have been Fury! I can't believe he left me out!" I complained out loud. 

I asked him to question Iron Fist about The Hands whereabouts, and contact me so that we could take them down together! Instead, he went and took them out all by himself! Now I know why I felt like I was missing out on something earlier. 

…It still feels like there was more to this though.

"Do I not get the Quest rewards now, System? I know I didn't participate, but it was my Quest and that One-eyed Pirate stole it from me!" I could officially call him a pirate now since the new SHIELD Helicarrier was operational and mainly operated over the Atlantic Ocean.

[Since you were not there or actively participating, I can only give you half of the rewards.]

That was better than nothing. I sat up on my bed and looked at the screen in front of me. "Ok, so what did I get? …Woah, this is only half?"
