Stinky God

Athena sat down to the side silently and Nyx followed her to give her some comfort.

Meanwhile, Zeus and Kisuke continued talking for a short while without minding her before Kisuke bid his farewell, "Well then, I gotta go. They're about to finish repairing the rift and have already broken down my barriers."

Zeus nodded at him, "I see. Then before you go, please clarify something. When are you going to make your move? I suppose this isn't the end of your revenge, right?"

"Indeed. But I'll only make a move once you've made yours. And on top of that, I won't be participating in whatever you plan to do. I'll do what I want depending on the situation at hand," Kisuke replied.

"I see that you still don't trust us, but that'll be good enough. Though if it's possible, I'd like you to pass me the method to cure this poison."

"That's not a problem. I already intended to give it to you from the start so that you can kick start your plans relatively easily," Kisuke then took out a pad of magic protected papers and passed it to Zeus, "Although I still haven't fully analyzed the poison, my knowledge is already enough to remove it. Though I think you'll be more interested in the second part where you can only disable the poison from interrupting."

After getting the encryption key from Kisuke, Zeus went through the details written on the paper, "This will be game-changing... Especially the second part," He then looked towards Kisuke and said, "You have my gratitude, but I'm sorry. Due to my current position, I can't give you anything back."

"It's fine. I'm not expecting anything in return for now."

"For now, huh? Still, I can't let you go without giving you something as thanks... Ah, how about that?"

"What?"

"I already received the report regarding how you dealt with the recent crisis in the Underworld and it seems that you used the concept of 'Kanon' or 'Avalokiteśvara'. This resulted in you getting the attention of the Vajrapani as a candidate for Padmapani. So it's already a foregone conclusion that you'll get involved with those from Hindu Faction."

"Although you should be careful with any of them approaching you, you need to watch out for the Trimurti and Indra, as all of them have the power to read everyone's mind, including Gods," Zeus then suddenly switched to telepathic message and continued, "Especially Shiva. Not only is he recognized as the strongest being outside of Ophis and Great Red, he's known for his power of Divination. However, only very few people knew the real identity of his very accurate Divining powers."

"His third eye which is said to be the one he uses to peer into the future, cannot actually see the future. It can actually see the whole world at its most tiny details and calculate the next events. In hindsight, this is more terrifying than using mysterious methods such as Divination."

"That's indeed more troublesome... Thank you very much for this information," Kisuke then turned around and used Flash Step to disappear from the room.

After seeing him leave, Athena walked towards Zeus and asked, "Father, what should we do next?"

Zeus thought for a moment and said, "Sever any contact you have with Kisuke Urahara and those around him. After this event, Apollo's camp would be suspicious. He'll be one of our trump cards and it'll be a shame if he were to be discovered too early."

Athena nodded, "Understood."

Zeus then looked towards Nyx and said, "Nyx, I'm sorry to do this to you. But after deactivating those defensive measures, no matter how much you hide it, they'll discover you. Since you didn't show up or tell anyone that you're still alive and apparently helped Kisuke Urahara in his infiltration, you'll be treated as a traitor and a bounty will be placed on your head. So I want you to cut off any connection you have with Athena right now."

Nyx only smiled wryly and replied, "I know... I'll do just that."

Athena, on the other hand, couldn't say anything and just gritted her teeth. She knew this is the safest way for her faction to grow in strength, by tossing away a liability. She just hates how weak her current position is to not be able to help her.

"I could have asked that guy to take you in, but considering the past feud between you and him, I think it'd be asking too much with our current relationship," added Zeus.

"No. It's fine. I've already prepared myself for this the moment I helped him."

"I see... Then please do your best to survive out there."

When Nyx was about to leave, a teleportation circle suddenly appeared in front of Zeus before a case of candies, and a letter appeared on it before disappearing.

They could feel Kisuke's magic from it so Athena just picked it up and gave it to Zeus.

Opening the letter, Zeus read through it and started laughing, "Hahaha! Well, isn't this good?"

Athena and Nyx looked at each other in confusion. Zeus then tossed the letter and the case of candies towards Nyx, "This is for you."

Nyx hurriedly caught it and curiously read the letter, "This is for Nyx-san for the trouble she incurred. Take a candy every three days and after a month you'll be able to completely recover your soul. Aside from that, you can also use my base to hide. It's a lot better than just running in circles hoping for them to not catch you."

Nyx smiled happily and almost teared up. Aside from meeting Athena, this was the first good thing that ever happened to her since Kisuke attacked the ritual site. She then faced Zeus and Athena with a bright face and bid her farewell, "I have to leave before they fix the rift."

Athena also smiled for her and said, "Be careful."

After nodding, Nyx used her teleportation magic to leave Olympus. Of course, she wouldn't teleport to Kisuke's hideout directly as there are some things she needed to do to cover her tracks.

"Now then, Athena... I want you to continue faking your illness while going on diplomatic missions. I want you to gather allies from outside of Olympus."

"Understood. I'll prepare for it immediately."

A few hours later, Apollo arrived from one of his secret labs and immediately went towards his mansion which was already completely destroyed, "That bastard... I'll never forgive him."

He then started looking around to see if there was anything that could be used to track Kisuke down, like traces of his magic. A few minutes later, he came across some leftover debris from the missile that destroyed his place that was still emitting magic, 'This is?'

While approaching it, he prepared some defensive spells that would automatically activate once Apollo detected any attacks above a certain power. The moment he stepped within a few meters of the debris, a magic circle suddenly appeared on top of it displaying a message, "Hi~ Apollo-san~ It's your favorite terrorist here to give some greetings~."

Apollo immediately looked around to see if there are any other traps within the area, but failed to find anything that triggered his sense of danger, 'What's this?'

What he didn't know, however, is that the image of him looking around within his destroyed mansion was already being streamed throughout the entirety of Olympus and the soldiers were already running towards his side to assist him with anything he needed.

"Since we can't meet in person, please allow me to give my gift to you in this fashion," The message continued.

Apollo became even more confused as he still couldn't find a single threatening thing until Kisuke's message suddenly exploded into dirty brown-colored smoke, engulfing the God of the Sun, "Wha!? What's this!?"

As he breathed, the nasty smell of a sewer assaulted his nose and those who're only a few hundred meters away from it, "Imbecile!" He immediately used magic to disperse the childish trap, however, he immediately noticed something bad. No matter what magic he used, he couldn't get the smell off of him.

At this point, a new message suddenly appeared, "I hope you like it, stinky God~."

"I'll destroy you!!!" Apollo howled to the sky with all his might.

From then on, people would be calling him Stinky God or Sewer Man in secret.

28th00: Stink Bombed him, huh? At least it's only a magical one and not the pretty much bioweapon grade chemical thioacetone we accidentally created, because there's no way someone made something that evil on purpose. Terrifying stuff, really.

Goyya: I'm really ashamed of my literary skills that I can't portray this part even a little bit better.
