Chapter 1039 The Existence of Another One

Yoruichi and Serafall arrived at the last spot where they felt Riveria's Demonic Power erupting and saw some traces of a dimensional transfer in the surroundings.

"You should be able to get inside, but should we wait?" Serafall asked Yoruichi. After she had taken back the majority of her Demonic Power, she'd already returned to normal.

Yoruichi unsheathed her dagger and poked a hole in the space in front of her. She took a peek inside and saw that Riveria and Loki were hiding behind a barrier that looks like a turtle shell, 'That looks like a Youkai technique. Did she learn that from the first-generation Sha Wujing?'

Riveria noticed the sudden hole that was created in her space but immediately felt Yoruichi and Serafall's aura. She hurriedly looked over and saw Yoruichi give her a wink which caused Riveria to sigh in relief.

The three old Gods, meanwhile, were trying to break the boundaries of the limited space with all sorts of attacks and it'd only take a few more minutes before they could break through, "She's fine for now." Yoruichi replied while closing the hole, "Let's rest and recover to our peak before the next party."

And within ten minutes, the space not far from Yoruichi and Serafall cracked before exploding like glass. With a cascading effect, the five figures returned to the artificial dimension.

The moment they got out, the three Gods hurriedly accelerated towards Orario but also immediately stopped when they couldn't find Tiamat's figure and even her oppressive aura from earlier, "What!?" Zeus exclaimed, "W-where is she!?"

The other two Gods also spread out their senses and could only detect a giant hole on the ground and the slowly receding black mud.

"It's over."

They heard a woman's voice and instantly turned around, only to see two familiar faces casually taking a sip from their tea while sitting at a round table.

"You!" Odin almost lost his patience.

But before he could attack, Yoruichi calmly asked, "Are you really going to waste your time and energy on us? Wouldn't preparing for what might happen next be better?"

Ouranos immediately grabbed Odin's shoulder.

"Ouranos!? Don't stop me! They- They killed mother!" Odin snapped at him.

Another hand landed on him and this time, on his arm, "...I know... But she's right. Assaulting them now will do us no good. We have to prepare in case he really descends."

"Zeus!? Even you..." Odin turned to him but saw the immense frustration on his face and couldn't continue what he wanted to say.

"I admire you." Yoruichi suddenly said, "And I'm not saying that out of sarcasm but my honest opinion."

"I don't need to hear your opinion. What do you want to happen? And where's Kisuke Urahara? Did he go down with Tiamat?" Zeus' last question was to infuriate Yoruichi and Serafall but sadly for him, that wouldn't work on these two girls.

"He'll be joining us later. What we need to figure out now is how to protect the other one now that Tiamat is already gone."

Zeus, Odin, and Ouranos' eyes instantly widened at her mention of the 'other one' and the latter immediately asked, "Just how much do you know? I don't believe Chaos would reveal to you that much even if you're his agents."

Yoruichi placed down her cup and chuckled, "So there really is another one."

It was then that the Gods realized that they'd been had.

"Another one?" Serafall asked curiously.

"Kisuke didn't really tell us anything but don't you find it weird? If Tiamat was really the creator of the Dungeon, then there's no reason for her not to use her own 'monsters' to fill it if her goal was to decimate the Lower World. But something like Xenos came into existence as if its owner wanted to coexist with its inhabitants." Yoruichi explained, "We've seen how she acted and I have a feeling that wouldn't have been Tiamat's choice."

"I see..." Serafall nodded to herself, "And the simplest explanation for that is that someone else other than Tiamat exists in the Dungeon."

Yoruichi nodded, "And they were kind enough to confirm my guess." She then turned to the other two that had been silently listening. More specifically, towards Loki, "I know you have a lot of questions, especially when Odin called Tiamat 'mother', sadly, I can't provide any answers and neither could Kisuke, even if he was here since he's also just guessing these things."

Loki bit her lips and a few seconds later, started scratching her head in frustration, "And these old men also can't provide any answers... Just what's going on, really?"

"What's happening now is of no importance compared to what's going to happen next." Ouranous suddenly said.

"That's true." Yoruichi acknowledged him, "But I heard you couldn't contact the other chief Deities. If you don't mind me asking when was the last time the three of you came into contact with any of them?"

Ouranos wanted to ask her why she knew that but chose to answer her honestly because he had a feeling that she was onto something important, "For me, the last one was less than a decade ago. It was with Shiva."

Yoruichi looked at Zeus and Odin and waited for their answer. Thankfully, they only sighed and did the same as Ouranos, "Eight years ago. I met Amun-Ra." Zeus answered.

"Quetzalcoatl. More than 20 years ago." And finally Odin.

"Hmmm..." Yoruichi looked down and thought for a moment before replying, "Seven years ago, we started searching and locating any prominent Gods that lead the others. However... Aside from the three of you... We couldn't find any of them."

"What? Are you sure?" Ouranos furrowed his brows.

"Well, we found some clues to where they are but each of them... Every single one of their traces was cut off. It's as if they suddenly disappeared from the face of this world without any warning."
