Decission and Prank.

Kurayami looked at her while he removed the sunglasses that followed him even in his mind. He had been wearing them for years, and they just felt right. He sighed as he kind of expected this day to come, but now it was time.

"Why are you always causing me trouble, my lady? What are the choices?"

Just looking at her made the girl shake. The only reason that Kurayami was fine in her presence as she was he was one of her chosen ones. They all knew this goddess was much stronger than anyone they ever met. as even Ophis started to sweat when she appeared in front of them.

Ophis finally felt a true threat to her existence which was beyond anything she could comprehend. The goddesses smiled and raised a finger.

"One, you truly become my apostle and I give you all the techniques and resources to grow your power along with the girls. This means you will belong to me truly and will be the easy method. The second method on the other hand is the hard path. Instead, you work as my mercenary for me and kill who I tell you."

Kurayami looked at her as she finally started her game. At the same time, he looked at the girls who all were sweating with nerves. He walked in front of her and kneeled in front of her. He knew he was stuck with her as she was the one who gave him this life.

She could just as easily take it away which he was not ready to give it up.

"I chose the hard method, my lady."

She kneeled down and held his face as she looked straight into his eyes. They were as black as the greatest void that made his own eyes as a simple shadow.

"You have 45 years Kurayami. Do your best to grow as strong as you can as Scarlet is a being beyond your imagination. I can tell you know that the number of deaths you suffer at his hand are nearly endless. The danger is high, but so is the reward."

Kurayami looked at her and smiled.

"I expect my payment upfront. A mercenary always gets his pay upfront."

She stood up and broke out laughing at how dauntless he was. No one had ever asked her straight up for compensation as she was too powerful. However, when it came to her favorite she made an exception.

"Half now and half when the job is done like a proper mercenary. Once you finish playing in this world I got a few jobs to prepare you for what is to come. Scarlet is just one of the threats you will face in this journey, much luck my boy."

Before she disappeared she kissed him on the forehead making him feel she marked him. It was a refreshing and oppressive feeling all in one, but he knew he now truly belonged to her. She vanished at the last moment as he smiled as he stood up.

"My lady how cruel you are sending your own brother to his doom."

He closed his eyes as he was given half of the payment she was giving him. It was several techniques made perfectly to suit his body and soul. The girls all fell to their knees as he brought them out of his memories for them to the real world.

He leaned back against the wall as he gave them all a chance to calm down. It was about 3 minutes before even Raynare or Esdeath calmed down. They looked at him asking him to explain himself with fear in their eyes.

"Who the fuck was that?"

He smiled as he looked to the sky.

"I see you all met my lady. I guess she is my master in a way and the one who saved me from an eternity in hell. It was her power that gave me life and she can take that from me as well. Questions?"

Raynare took a deep breath.

"Who was she? I know you said she is a goddess, but if she was a god that what the hell are the ones in this world?"

He mulled over it as he shook his head.

"She is primordial. I don't mean an imitation like Nyx of this world, I really mean it. She is one of the first beings to EVER exist. She has been around since the dawn of existence which means she is crazy fucking strong."

Akeno looked at him with a lot of worries.

"If her brother has even a few percentages of her strength we are so fucked. Do you even stand a chance?"

Out of nowhere transformed into a perfect copy of the goddess and he made his voice sound likes hers as well.

"My dear Akuma is useless without me, isn't he? Well, at least he has me to help him. She did not say that, but that is exactly how I feel. How do I look?"

They all looked shocked at both his weird form and how he was totally mocking the strongest being in existence. They all wondered if he still had a brain as he got off the bed and looked at himself in the mirror.

"You know Ophis, now I can see why being a shapeshifter fucks with your mind. This is weird but cool."

She stood up and walked behind him to touch his hair.

"Weird? Do I show you?"

He shook his head.

"Please don't."

He groped himself just to see what it felt like and shrugged. He raised his hand looking at his soft clear skin which showed he was having too much fun with this. Rebellion walked up to him and patted him on the head as he was really short now.

He went from 6'10 to 4'7 and instead of muscular he was really petite right now. However, the thing that not even shape shifting could take was those eyes of his that do not go anywhere.

"Master, please do not take the form of the literal strongest person in existence. I do not want her to kill you, by that extended me, Shin, and your familiars."

He shrugged and he sat down in a chair while still transformed as swore to only take that form to troll peaple. He merely did it only out of our curiosity which was done with, but for now, it was good enough.

He coughed as he explained what she had told him.

"Well you heard the lady, her brother has the power to cross Dimensions which is different from Universes or worlds. I can guess if I had tried to fight him I would be erased, existences and all. Still, that is if she left us on our own."

He picked up one of the girl's mirrors and could not stop looking at his or her face. She and he from a current standpoint were gorgeous even though she looked like a kid. He moved his hand through the long black hair that he had at this moment.

Rebellion and Shin had seen through his memories with what he had given him. Rebellion stood at his side while she coughed trying to ignore her master's female form. He seemed to be really having some fun with it so she explained to him.

"Master just received several techniques for all of you to learn. Of course, they are incomplete and you will have to learn what you can from them, but only if you will truly follow my master in his quest. MASTER, For the love of God, stop admiring yourself."

"OUCH"

At that moment Kuroka and Serafall held their heads as Rebellion had mentation the name of God. Kuroka glared at her as she stood up.

"I may not be too strong, but count me in. This Scarlet is a threat to my daughters and our lives."

Kurayami blinked a few times and placed the mirror down as he changed his outfit to match her exact armor. He was truly having too much fun to stop so he decided to keep this form for a few hours.

'Maybe she will be amused and give me more help. Please, my lady.'

At that moment he heard her voice that was laughing at him.

'Never change Akuma, you are and forever will be my favorite. I will allow you to use my person on the promise on your soul you do not use it for sexual reasons. Still, just for that laugh, I will give you something for your troubles.'

In his ring appeared, a black vile which felt was beyond his comprehension appeared.

"That is an extremely diluted blood drop of one of my pets. Don't ask which one, but I can tell you that you cannot take it yet. I placed a curse on it and you will only be able to take it when you finish what this world has to offer. Bye.'

Once the connection was done he glanced at the vile in his ring and felt his body hunger for it so he did what any reasonable person would do. Ignored it and forgot about it until she said it was ok.

"Well she approves of this as long as I do not do anything sexual which is fine in my book, I am not interested, but now I need to ask you, girls, will you come with me?"

Raynare wiped her forehead, but a large snarl appeared on her face.

"I guess Indra is not much of a real target now is he? Well count me in, sounds like we either die or we become the slaves of this Scarlet. Still, what an unlucky turn of events.":

Akeno had to agree with her.

"I mean it sounds like she already told him about us so what use is us saying no. Plus, I see that look in your eyes brother, you want to see just how strong he is right?"

Kurayami nodded as all around him his power ignited as he felt a challenge and a threat.

"I can feel my Divine Dragon Core surging, I am excited about this. Losing is not something I can accept now can I? I got to think of you all."

Scathach sighed and shook her head.

"Fine, a loyal servant follows her master into the thrones of death. What about you weapon spirit?"

Rebellion thumped her chest and smiled.

"I have bound to my master's very soul, if he died I die. A weapon is to be destroyed when her master perish. I know I, Shin, and Ophis are already in agreement, but the rest of you are a different story. Are you ready to go directly into the fire pit?"

Natsume nodded.

"Duh, let's fuck some divine shit up."

She jumped in the air with Griffon on her shoulder which made them all look at her. Kurayami shook his head and laughed at her.

"I like you better when you swear like a sailor. It is cute."

She blushed while she looked away.

"I would like it if you did not look like a girl when saying that."

Serafall also agreed.

"She is right Kurayami, that feels weird to call you that when you look like this. I am going to call you Karla if you do not change back. Still. if her brother is coming here to this reality once he finishes with his, I guess we don't get much choice do we."

Artemis and Rossweisse were the last ones, but one of them was already guaranteed. The goddess of the hunt walked up and snorted.

"Fine, but do we stand a chance."

Kurayami looked at her nodded.

"With the help, she just gave me yes. I told you she gave me techniques custom-made for all of us. She gave me two of them called the Void Body. I have to replace my Body, Soul, and Dragon Core with advanced forms of the void in several steps. Seems I have a limited understanding of the Void as a power."

They all looked at him with confused and shocked looked. He shrugged and explained.

"Raynare you read those crappy cultivation novels right?"

She nodded.

"Yeah, I stopped reading them as all the characters seemed brain dead."

He had to agree as each one was a copy and paste of each other with different names.

"Well, this is that minus the stupidity. Apparently, the real-life practitioners are in no way that stupid. If anything they are way smarter and stronger which is just what we needed."

Raynare glanced at him as he just told her that he was about to become a cultivator.

"Wait, are their other power systems besides cultivation? I am worried about our minds will go down the rabbit hole that is 'You are courting death.'"

He broke out laughing at that as she had truly not liked those moves. She only read like 2 of them and after that never read them again.

"Do not worry, that was fiction and not real. Of course, there would probably be a few stupid young masters along the way but like in every novel just kill them. Before I forget, take your techniques."

He transformed the techniques directly into their minds and even Ophis got one that suited her perfectly at the moment. Just looking through it made her realize how perfectly suited toward her it was.

"We will take about it later, I am going to prank someone."

He teleported away to look for Azazel. Now that he had an employer and a target he would have his work cut out for him. He might even bring Azazel along as the mad scientist would not miss this for the world.

Still he at this moment just wanted to make fun of Azazel which might get another laugh from the goddess.
