Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Negotiation in Midgard

Sitting on the sofa, he is with Nia and Ravel who skipped her work to join Ray's holiday. After what happened last night and this morning, Ray decided to lay off for the day and have a holiday instead since he cannot continue with his modification with Zenith.

Both of them are acting very affectionate to him which he didn't mind but they keep calling him daddy which at first he ignores but goddamned Ophis also joins and calls him daddy which he manages to make her stop by threatening to not feed her more sweets.

Here he is, in the living room staring out the window while sipping iced espresso shots. He blocked his hearing to stop hearing them talking with him and instead talking with Ddraig and Albion about their progress.

'Last night, Albion and I tried to test the limit of our power. My Scorching Flames is… well way below my original Incinerating Flame but it still retains the inextinguishable trait.'

'My Reduce is totally unusable but Divide and Reflect work just fine although Reflect does struggle to reflect Ddraig's full power Scorching Flames.'

'Also Ddraig blew a hole in the training facility.'

'You!' Ddraig instantly looks at Albion in betrayal before nervously looking at Ray.

'I don't mind, it's a training facility after all.' Ray said before he brought his mug to his lips before sipping its contents only to sip nothing.

Ray opened his eyes to see Ravel had drunk it all as a revenge for ignoring her but clearly disliked the taste of concentrated espresso shot. When she saw Ray looking at her, she pouted and looked at the side with her arm crossed.

"It's not my fault you go ahead and drink it." Ray said while looking at her flatly.

At least Nia is more manageable as she only follows him around but she is drawing on her tablet or reading something. Only thing that annoys him is that she addresses him as daddy.

For Ravel however… She keeps doing something to get his attention and acting almost like an annoying bratty daughter of a rich family. Fit perfectly with her being Tsundere.

"I drink it because daddy keeps ignoring Ravel. Ravel wants daddy to look at Ravel only."

Ray didn't even know if she just simply got too into the roleplay or she really had her brain rewired this morning.

"Haah, come here." Ray tapped at his right before Ravel quickly took a seat over there and smiled happily as Ray rubbed her head.

"Can't you just be like Nia? Look at her, just doing her own thing and bothering no one." Ray said

"Then, daddy likes Nia more than Ravel?" Ravel says as she hugs Ray's right arm while looking up at Ray with a face like she is about to cry.

"I'm not falling for that question… Can we stop this act now? If you are upset about your punishment this morning then I'm sorry. Please stop, okay?" Ray reached his limit and begged Ravel to stop.

"Hmph, it's your fault I'm like this so better take responsibility and take care of me." Ravel hides her face behind Ray's arm.

Having enough of figure this out himself, he resorted to Cosmic Lord and found out that Ravel is basically mana drunk. A common occurrence when any supernatural race consumes large amounts of mana and is unable to absorb it fast enough. He facepalmed when he remembered what energy rich fluid he pumped into her this morning that filled her intestine and almost reached the stomach.

The mana drunkenness causes Ravel to feel sober but drunk at the same time. Her current behaviour can be attributed to her being drunk which indeed is his fault. Perhaps he should use buy milk as an excuse and run away for now then return at night…

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"Let's have more s-"

"Nope, rejected." Ray instantly rejects without even letting her finish her sentence.

"Then let's go outside." Ravel proposed.

"Where are we going anyway? There is nothing interesting here unless you want to go to Underworld or maybe go to-"

"Let's go to Underworld, I want to visit Agares! Let's go Let's go." Ravel suddenly begged Ray to go.

Ray has an uneasy feeling about going there somehow. He feels his foreboding feeling, it isn't dread or feeling like he is in danger. He just feels that something is about to go wrong.

"Sure, let's go. I've been wondering about that place ever since Serafall recommended it for me to visit."

"Yay, love you daddy."

"Stop calling me daddy and we will go or we will be accompanying you in your office doing paperwork instead."

"Ok papa" Ravel said before she went to change her clothes.

"No stop, unless you call me normally, we are not going." Ray jumps from his seat to chase after Ravel while Nia looks like she wanted to join but saw her favourite anime just have a new episode being aired.

"Papa ecchi! Let Ravel change clothes first or papa wants to play first?" Nia can hear Ravel's seductive voice all the way from her room to here.

…

Somewhere in Dimension Gap, there is a pocket space that occupies quite sizable land in the Dimension Gap that is filled mostly by buildings like the current building which look like a throne room with a long table that stretches from the throne to the other end of the building opposite of the throne.

"What are we going to do Lord Rizevim? We lost one of our biggest manpower and suffered great defeat during the attack at the peace conference." A high class devil asked.

"Nothing will change." Rizevim said the silence spread across the attendees of these gatherings.

"Indeed! Nothing has changed, even if we lost the Hero Faction and Ophis-sama, our individual goals are still the same. I will have to speed up my plan since that old man Odin had decided to join the alliance and invited the Pale Blood King to come to Midgard to discuss the terms." A robed man said.

"Pale Blood King…" another robed man said with anger seething in his voice.

"Calm yourself Hades, the strength of the Pale Blood King is very abnormal. Everytime we launch our plan on the alliance, he will always successfully thwart our attempt."

"We don't have much information about his origin, his power and almost everything is non-existent about him. None of my investigation was able to reveal anything about him." Previous robed man said.

"Are you sure Apollo? Even your divination ability cannot see anything? Perhaps he had an artifact that obscured the divination…" the robed man said.

"No Loki, this isn't an artifact obscuring him but my power refused to show it to me. My power is associated with the sun and when I use my power, I can feel that my own power rebelled against me. The sun… refused to let me use my power." Apollo said

"Are you sure Apollo… If what I think is true… but it's impossible. We sealed the passage..." Loki rambled as the other looked at him.

"What is that person you talking about?" Hades asked Loki which woke him from his rambling before scanning the people.

"No, perhaps I was mistaken…" Loki said before he covered his head with the hood of the robe.

"Do we have any other members that experience similar problems?" Rizevim asked but received no response.

"Ok, since none have any problems. Then we will focus what remains of our resources in Hades Realm and produce our soldiers. The sponsor said he gladly helped us with our lack of foot soldiers."

Everyone wanted to ask about this sponsor but remained silent since they knew that Rizevim would not answer them. They are also not really a tight knit group, they are all making use of each other for their own personal goals.

…

In Hades Realm, Hades returned to his palace before he became very angry and blasted a wall through his palace.

He was very angry about the Pale Blood King that defiled his authority as a god of death. He managed to let his people escape death regardless of how they died. The soul is supposed to arrive here in his realm but it always disappeared the moment it appeared here in his realm.

"Pluto! Did you catch that longinus user?"

"Yes Lord Hades" A reaper in black robe said.

"Bring it to Loki."

"Yes Lord Hades" The reaper then left the palace.

"Hades, are we ready to launch an attack already? The boy you told me to hypnotize is still quite unstable. Using him now will result in its death."

"I care little about preserving the Longinus to our possession, the boy will be given to Loki for his attack on Norse. The rest of us had decided to join forces to eliminate the Pale Blood King. He is quite an obstacle for us as he is very strong that even Indra acknowledges him."

"Are you sure we could kill him? I am very sure that he is as strong or perhaps stronger than a primordial god like us. I managed to sense his strength during his fight with Cao Cao, he seems to be using his ability to completely erase his aura and presence when outside of combat. He is almost indistinguishable from normal human"

"Did you perhaps afraid of him, Nyx?" Hades asked as his eye sockets glowed.

"Hah, it's impossible for me, the Primordial Goddess of Night, to be afraid of an enemy. I still have my pride as a goddess unlike you who keep hiding in your realm." Nyx walks away unaware that she is being used by Hades.

…

In Agares, Ray for once after a few months wears his hunter's attire again. The attire however had been completely remade with magical and more luxurious materials which were actually brought to him by Laurence one day, out of the sudden. Ray along with Ravel now leaving the resort they just booked to visit other places.

Their first destination is the edge of the Agares to look at the view. Agares is a floating city and thus has a good view overlooking almost the whole devil important territory like Lilith or Lucifaad.

In the evening, Ray and Ravel are having their dinner in a luxurious restaurant before Sirzechs suddenly asks to meet him regarding the Norse faction wanting to negotiate for joining the alliance.

"Who is it papa?" Ravel asks after putting down her cutlery and looks at Ray suspiciously.

"Sirzechs"

"Maou Lucifer? Why will he suddenly call you?"

"He wanted to meet me for an important matter now."

"Wait! Today papa promised to spend time with me!" Ravel suddenly said with a loud voice, causing other customers to look at them.

"Since when did I promise that? I only promised to come to the Underworld with you and I already did." Ray said while ignoring the stare he got.

"Anyway, are you staying here tonight or going back? My business with the Sirzechs will probably take a lot of time… I probably will delay Zenith modification again." Ray sighed before he gulped his wine.

"I want to visit my mother first before I return." Finally stopped adding papa to her sentence.

"Hmn… I will let Ludwig accompany you."

Then both finished their meal before Ray summoned Ludwig to follow Ravel to visit her home in Phenex territory. Ray waited until she teleported away before he teleported to Sirzechs office where he saw Sirzechs, Grayfia and another person that looked almost similar to Grayfia.

"Oh Ray, finally you arrived. What took you so long?" Sirzechs asks since almost every time when Ray is called, he arrives within minutes.

"I was having dinner with my wife Ravel in Agares before I sent her to her home in Phenex territory." Ray replied while moving closer to them.

The person that looks like Grayfia looks like she is being shot by an invisible bullet as Ray says he was having dinner with her wife.

"Let me introduce, she is a valkyrie Rossweisse, the representative and messenger of the chief god of Norse, Odin." Sirzechs said as Rossweisse bowed slightly with her right arm crossed horizontally on her front.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, the Pale Blood King." Rossweisse says.

Ray waved his hand before he continued. "Anyway when are we leaving for Midgard? I would like to finish it up quickly, hopefully we can finish this by tonight…"

"I doubt we will finish that fast, Ray. According to this Valkyrie, the whole land of Norse is constantly under attack from the insect monsters and Khaos Brigade. Whole Norse is currently under high alert and Odin wishes to join our alliance in hope to obtain help." Sirzechs explained.

"Isn't Norse a large faction capable of defending against Khaos Brigade and the insects?" Ray asks in surprise because Norse is a large faction with a rich history of producing warriors.

"It was. Few days ago, there was a large amount of insects, monsters and weird creatures… Amygdala attacked Midgard and caused many civilian casualties. The barrier that was supposed to defend us was breached somehow and allowed a large number of those creatures and monsters to attack Midgard."

"Odin-sama thinks that there is a traitor amongst the gods of Norse since the barrier is tampered with which allows these monsters to pass through undetected." Rossweisse said with anger in her voice.

"For that reason, Odin-sama has to stay back in Midgard and cannot leave until the traitors are weeded out." Rossweisse added.

"Then he actually didn't need our military assistance but planned to join our alliance to force the traitor to make a move then…" Ray says as he found the real purpose of Norse joining the alliance.

Rossweisse is shocked that Ray instantly found out Odin's true motive. She now understands why Odin says that the Pale Blood King is very dangerous. Although this isn't the actual reason but only Rossweisse, speculation only.

"Well, I don't mind. As long as he joins the alliance, plus weeding out the traitor does help our cause of defeating the remaining members of Khaos Brigade." Ray says as he agrees to follow Rossweisse to Midgard to meet Odin.

Rossweisse instantly relaxed when Ray agreed to go to Midgard. Odin did tell her that this mission is of great importance that will probably decide the fate of whole Norse.

"Who else will go with me?" Ray asked while looking at Sirzechs.

"Unfortunately, Serafall who is supposed to handle the diplomatic job, is busy with negotiations with Egyptian mythology along with Azazel and Indra." Sirzechs answered while acting a little strangely.

"I wanted to join but I have plenty of paperwork and have to manage the whole devil race." Sirzechs said as his hand is busy signing more documents.

"I will go alone then, we are only doing a verbal agreement anyway…" Ray said before he looked at Rossweisse that look distracted for some reason.

"Let's go Rossweisse."

"Ah! Yes Lord…"

"Ray"

"Yes, Lord Ray." Rossweisse said before she made teleportation magic using Norse magic.

Sirzechs waved him a goodbye before he vanished, then appeared in a large room made of pristine white marble and decorated with gemstones and gold. This room looks like it is worth more than his entire fortune. This gives the impression that their toilet paper is also probably made of gold.

Rossweisse then leads him into the office room where Odin is waiting for him. On his way there, he saw every single wall was also the same as the previous room which was covered with gold and gemstones.

When he approached the office, he saw a few dozen valkyries standing in front of the door while fully armed to the teeth. He was stopped by the valkyrie that guards the door.

"Halt! Foreigner mus-"

"Wait, he is-" Rossweisse wanted to argue but stopped.

"Enter" A voice from inside the room made the valkyrie stop and opened the door for him and Rossweisse.

When he entered the room, Odin greeted him and introduced the people with him in the room which were Vidar, Thor, Baldur, Frigg and Brynhildr. They were discussing protection of Midgard probably from the look of it as everyone is standing around a table that has a map of Midgard.

"Welcome to the land of the Norse, Pale Blood King. Although I can see the future that you would come to, I didn't expect it to be this fast. I just sent Rossweisse as a messenger this morning." The old man with a very long gray beard said with joyful tone. While they are talking, Brynhildr escorted Frigg out of the room.

"Then, I assume Rossweisse had informed you of our situation?"

"Yes, you need my help to weed out the traitors?"

Odin didn't have a change of expression but Vidar, Thor and Baldur look very surprised that Ray found out their real intention.

"Hoh hohoho, let's talk about our alliance then. You still come after knowing our intention then that means that you are willing to let us join the alliance." Odin said as he caressed his beard.

"Indeed, the alliance's purpose is to deal with Khaos Brigade after all and we accept anyone that will support our cause." Ray confirmed Odin's word.

"Then you will agree to our proposal to join the alliance?" Thor asks bluntly to Ray which Ray simply nodded.

"If so then we didn't need to negotiate anymore and let

announce to the people that Norse will join the alliance. We are going to smoke out the traitors and kill him." Thor said with a bloodthirsty grin.

"I don't mind since the alliance's one and only condition is to fight our common enemies and there is no other obligation. However it's up to you to help other alliance members or perhaps if Norse also wants to buy our products too." Ray says.

"Then we Norse will definitely join your alliance against Khaos Brigade." Odin said as he shaked Ray's hand.

"By the way, why did you hide your presence all the time? Even if you hide it, an experienced god like me can still feel you through our instinct." Thor said as they followed Odin to the throne room for announcement.

"I just prefer to keep them hidden." Ray replied which made Thor feel more interested because he knew Ray is hiding his strength. As a battle maniac, he would definitely want to challenge Ray in a spar.

Suddenly, Ray felt a soul returned to him but didn't pay much attention to it since there are hunters dying everyday from their peacekeeping mission in Youkai territory.

…

An hour after, Odin used his magic to broadcast a live feed to show everyone living in all 9 worlds that they officially joined the Anti-terrorist alliance that will fight against the terrorism act of Khaos Brigade.

Immediately after the broadcast, everyone cheered because they will finally get allies to help them fight against the insect monster and Khaos Brigade members. The home of the gods is well protected with the gods and valkyrie that live there but the countryside, the normal cities or other realm is susceptible to attacks and they lack the ability to properly defend themselves.

Loki however, along with his creations, Nyx and their captive. They have prepared for this moment as they are hiding while everyone in the throne room is celebrating.

He entered the throne room normally while Odin greeted him. Loki however didn't even reply back then look at everyone in disdain before he created a magic circle that teleported his creations, Nyx and their captive into the throne room.

"Peace? I rather rot in Tartarus than make peace with the Biblical faction that stole our land, our believer. Coincidentally, I also had always wanted to bring upon Ragnarok you have grown weak and senile. It's time for me to replace you as the chief god." Loki announced

Under the watch of the whole Midgard, Loki declared his wish to bring upon Ragnarok which caused a lot of outrage from the present gods in the throne room.

"So, you are the traitor huh, evil god Loki! And you wanted to kill my old man just for the sake of Ragnarok!" Thor summoned his Mjolnir as a massive amount of lightning coats his body.

"Stop Thor, you are just doing what he wants you to do." Odin quickly stopped Thor and every other gods and valkyrie from attacking Loki and his group.

"Stop this Loki, it isn't too late." Odin persuades Loki who immediately bursts out laughing.

"Oh, my stomach hurts from laughing… Surrender? The old Odin I knew would kill me the moment he discovered my treason. You truly had grown senile Odin!" Loki then insta cast a giant magic icicle before yeeted it to Odin's direction.

When Loki initiated his attack, Fenrir, Hati, Skol, Midgardsormr and Midgardsormr's smaller clone army, initiated their rampage to kill as many gods as possible to achieve the Ragnarok their creator and father wanted.

Loki soon unleashes a snowstorm that sends smaller icicles to attack the weaker one. With his identity as ice Jotun, his snowstorm is way stronger and causes the valkyries to struggle and even kill them.

"You wanted me to surrender and ask forgiveness for my actions? Sure but after I kill all your children and your wife and most of the gods. Will you accept my apologies after that? Hahahahaha!" Loki kept creating ice magic to attack every god he could see.

The other gods tried their best to defend from Loki while also attacking Loki's child that had killed 3 gods. Odin stood still looking at Loki before he summoned his spear Gungnir. He wanted a peaceful solution however Loki refused to be reasoned with and he had to stop Loki himself.

"Nyx, use him now." Loki said before Nyx appeared out of a pitch black hole in the space next to him.

In Nyx hand is a dark-skinned boy with white hair. The boy is Leonardo, the wielder of one of the most troublesome Longinus, Annihilation Maker. This sacred gear allows its wielder to basically create any monster using imagination.

Nyx had hypnotized Leonardo to create a monster that Rizevim showed to them. Nyx, Loki and Hades didn't know the origin of this monster but they assume it's an imaginary one that Rizevim made.

The monster is a Hierophant Tyranid Bio Titan that Ba'al Zebub managed to obtain from a universe he conquered once and ranked within his top 20 best insects monster. He gave one of these monsters along with many insect monster parasites to jumpstart Rizevim's insect army that he has been using on other factions and mythologies to increase its number.

The modification Nyx hypnotized Leonardo to do is to make it unkillable by being able to regenerate from every small piece of flesh, super strong, multiplying, super resistant to physical and magic attack.

"Wake up and create the monster now." Nyx said before Leonardo opened his eyes in the hypnotized state and started creating the monster.

Ray, who saw this, used Tsukuyomi knives to kill Leonardo before he could create the monsters. When the knives are about to hit Leonardo, Nyx carries out another person from the pitch black hole. Ray immediately unsummoned his knives before it could hit.

"Oh, you almost killed your wife in cold blood. *tsk tsk* You should be careful where you attack." Nyx said as she replaced Leonardo to Ravel while Leonardo is in her other arm.

"You should be grateful that I, Nyx, the primordial goddess of night willing to spend effort to prepare against you because I recognise you as a foe stronger than me." Nyx explains proudly with arrogance like she should be praised for doing it.

Ray however didn't look worried at all before he created a repelling force centre on Ravel using his Divine Will before making a meter thick lightning bolt using Kinesis to smite Nyx. Even Thor was distracted by Ray for a bit when he used the lighting smite.

Freeing Ravel from Nyx grasp, he quickly goes and catches her before Nyx or Loki could do anything to her. Phenex clan might have Immortality power but strong enough power or special abilities like Power of Destruction still can kill them or mortally wound them.

Unfortunately, Loki as a god of trickster always has a trick in his pocket and he is already anticipating this would happen. He and Nyx rigged Ravel into a trap to kill Ray. They implanted magic artifacts inside Ravel that they laced with Samael poison since Ray possesses a draconic type of sacred gear and also has the presence of a dragon.

They hope this will weaken him enough for Nyx to kill him easily. For that reason, Hades gave Nyx Samael poison. Hades did this for his revenge on Ray for defiling his authority as the ruler of death.

When Ray catches Ravel, the magic artifact is activated by Loki who is secretly paying attention to Nyx and Ray. The artifact shot out a harpoon out of Ravel's abdomen and pierced Ray before it pumped a big(thicc) load of Samael Poison into Ray's body.

The Norse gods looked in shock and realized that Loki's main goal isn't to rebel against him and seize the position of chief god but instead, Loki's main goal is to target the alliance. He knew that Ray exude draconic presence and even owned the Boosted Gear, this means that the Samael Poison is extremely lethal to Ray.

"Hahahaha, great job Nyx." Loki said as he continued to trap the Norse gods with his creations. Thor and Vidar especially, wanted to rush to help Ray but Loki occupied them both personally.

Ray however isn't worried about himself since he instinctively knew that his Elohim Physique can resist the poison. He is worried about Ravel, the artifact also affected her. Ddraig, Albion and Ophis also sensed his distress and wanted to help but he stopped them since he didn't know if they had more Samael curses that could affect them.

Ray summoned Kurumi and asked her to use Dalet, the time rewinding bullet since his Chronokinesis is still very unstable even after a very long time. He also summoned Scáthach to help him.

"Leave this to me, dear husband. You should fix yourself first, my Dalet cannot rewind your time but Ravel is a piece of cake." Kurumi gave Ray a kiss before she summoned her angel and her left eye rapidly turned anticlockwise as she felt the condensed mana from Ray rapidly filling her spirit core.

"Zaphkiel"

Kurumi raises her musket to the roman number of 4 before black energy flows into the musket from the floating clock behind her. Few moments later, she aims at Ravel before unhesitatingly pulling the trigger despite the shock of the onlookers like Odin, hiding Nyx and loki.

"Dalet!"

When the bullet hits Ravel, the gaping hole on her abdomen that refuses to regenerate and rotting is rapidly closing itself like time is rewinding. It continues until Loki feels the magic artifact vanish from Ravel like it never was implanted at all.

Meanwhile, Ray summoned Scáthach to defend Ravel and Kurumi from stronger foe before he lost grip of himself. He can feel the Elohim Physique is forcing him to transform into his true form since his Eldritch energy can easily purge the Samael Poison inside him.

"You finally summoned me, my disciple." Scáthach says while still wearing her swimsuit like her assassin form.

"Did I disturb your vacation?" Ray jokingly asked.

"Yes, I was taking a dip in Caribbean beach, snorkeling and diving. But suddenly you summoned me." Scáthach says as her bikini turned into her usual bodysuit.

"Sorry about that Shishou and the Caribbean? Last time I checked, you were touring Italy."

"Don't worry about it and go kill your enemy." Scáthach says as she summons her crimson spear that causes many weaker gods to have chills down their spine.

Ray didn't reply but he jumped away from everyone before he lost the restraint on his skill. The Elohim Physique immediately partially transformed his body to allow the Eldritch energy to flood his body, causing purplish black fluid to wash over all of Ray's blood vessels.

From his upper orifices, the poisoned blood is eliminated as his eyes, noses, ears and mouth oozing out the poisoned blood. He fell to the ground and shrieked in pain as the draconic horns, wings and tail that appeared from the partial transformation wreaked havoc on the surroundings as the eldritch energy coats his body like how his Armament Haki would.

Every swipe and hit from Ray's wings and tail cause a massive shockwave that is almost stronger than a snowstorm created by Loki. Nyx, who saw Ray is trying to recover and expel the poison, quickly attacks him before he can fully recover.

Odin looks worried since if anything happens to Ray, it will be a disabling blow to the alliance and provide the Khaos Brigade an opportunity to become bolder with their action. He wanted to help but he had to keep Loki and its creations in check especially Fenrir and Midgardsormr since they are very strong.

When Nyx used her darkness manipulation to attack Ray, the attack dispelled the Presence Concealment that Ray almost always keeps it on to hide his more dangerous aura and presence abilities hidden or sealed. Especially his magical aura that usually DxD supernatural denizens use to detect each other's presence.

When dispelled, the titanic amount of pressure slammed on the area indiscriminately as the usual gas like mana is replaced by Ray's sand like mana. It is because everyone nearby feels like they are buried 100 meter under the sand. The weaker valkyrie that accidentally caught in the crossfire instantly fainted while Nyx as a primordial goddess was still able to resist but she struggled to even breathe as she felt like the air was replaced with sand. The mana is too thick that her body basically suffocated itself like someone would if having oxygen poisoning.

Ray in his mindless state still remembers one thing. That thing is to get revenge for Ravel.

He roared with unconcealed anger to the heaven as if to declare his decree, his will or his order to the world as his Divine Will responded. A black sphere appeared on the sky before a strong attraction force washed over Midgard and pulled everything toward it but instantly changed its target to only affect Loki and its creations.

"This force! I can't repel!" Loki, who rapidly moved toward the black sphere with his creations shouted as his power fail to let him escape.

"Nyx! Help me escape this thing!" Loki shouted in panic when he saw what happened to the Midgardsormr's clones when it entered the black sphere.

The black sphere is basically a super strong gravitational force that is almost equal to that of a blackhole. Such gravitational force can even attract large amounts of stars to form a galaxy. Needless to say, Loki is about to be compressed into a compact ball of flesh while his body will keep regenerating his compressed body to be compressed again.

Loki himself is almost as powerful as Nyx and he is as helpless as an infant in front of the unstoppable cosmic occurrence. Nyx can feel that she isn't affected because Ray is more focused on Loki that actually implanted the device he created. Ray also some part of his mind is trying to avoid the blackhole from affecting unrelated people.

Although Ray's main mind is being controlled by the Elohim Physique effect, his other thoughts are unaffected and thus trying their best to do damage control and prevent anyone else from being affected. For Nyx however…, she just happened to fill several checkboxes that made Ray decide to spare her instead of killing her.

(Note: I put it at the end cuz long.)

When Loki finally touches the black sphere, the closest body part has its flesh ripped off the bone before it is splitted into particles by the blackhole. It continues until Loki fully absorbs into the blackhole, then Ray initiates the second phase and absorbs the surrounding landmass until it forms a perfect sphere with a tenth the size of a moon.

All the Norse gods, the valkyries, Midgard civilians and others look in awe as the large landmass forms. The gods however feel like a moon is created, the universe is acknowledging the landmass as a legitimate moon.

Ray raised his hand to his chest level before 2H form Artemis appeared and the actual moon appeared in the sky bathing Ray with moonlight and energy. Artemis enlarged to 5 times its original size before ethereal green light spilled out of the sword like a jet accelerating to the tip of the sword.

Ray crouched before he jumped while also accelerated with his 2 pairs of black feathered wings and 2 pairs of leathery dragon wings. When he arrived before the new moon, he said with a disembodied voice that crossed between the growl of a beast and a dragon.

"Zenith Sword Slash, Disintegrate!"

Purplish black energy taints the ethereal green light as energy concentrated in the sword so much that fissure appeared on the sword surface as small jets of mana shoot out of it. When Ray slashed the landmass, the energy released upon impact toward it and the mana accelerated toward it, evaporated a triangle shape area through the landmass.

The concentrated energy cleaved all the way through to Asgard and beyond the bound of their land. Loki is no more, even the last speck of his particles is evaporated and unrecoverable. Of course, if Ray is conscious, he would use a moreq efficient way as this attack is like using a sledgehammer to split a boulder compared to using a water jet cutter. Very wasteful and high risk of collateral damage.

When the main preparator is dealt with, Ray shifts his attention to the stunned and shivering goddess.

Odin and everyone else who exited their stunned state quickly went and stopped Ray before he blast another one of the disintegration slash through their already fragile realm from the first blast. If Ray uses another one of these, the Norse realm will destabilise and collapse all 9 worlds within it.

Scáthach is the first to stop Ray since she also notices the realm is destabilising. She stands between Ray and Nyx who fell to the floor and just a step before she wet herself. The only thing holding her back is her already tattered dignity as a primordial goddess.

"Wake up Ray, you have to stop before you dest-" she jumped away a microsecond before a sword cleaved the spot she stood before.

"This is very troublesome… he isn't reacting." Scáthach who appeared a few meters to the left mutteres.

Ray then grabs Nyx by the head as he lifts her to his eye level. Nyx closed her eyes, afraid of what would happen next and she felt something piercing her abdomen before a sinister energy flooded her divine core, the core that contains her divinity.

Everyone didn't disturb Ray as long as he didn't use another of that blast. They all saw Ray's sword shrink to its original size and turn into 1H form before he stabbed Nyx.

The Eldritch energy corrupting property is corrupting away Nyx's divinity which is basically a part of god's soul. The corruption turns Nyx into a subordinate god like Artemis. A subordinate god, are simply a fancier namel for a slave in all aspects as their divine core is put on a leash by their owner. Just like how goddesses in mythology get forced into becoming a spouse for their captor.

"No! No no no no… stop, I didn't want to do this! Hades told me to do this. I'm sorry… I'm sorry Help! It hurts… ahhh sorry… rry…"

Under the corruption of Eldritch energy, Nyx tried to break free with whatever method possible but the vice grip and the sword embedded deep into her abdomen leave little chance to escape. Veins of purplish black energy expended from the stab wound pulsating as if alive, the vein forcefully entered her divine core and seized control of it which caused immense pain like being stabbed by a pole.

When Nyx's divine core is fully overtaken, her resistance also ends. Her eyes turned dull as her whole body turned limp and fell to the ground when Ray released her.

When all of his enemies had been defeated, Ray's mind regained his clarity as he checked on his other thoughts to know what had happened.

Little did he know, his whole battle was broadcasted through the 9 worlds since the broadcast magic was used to show the joining of Ray's alliance. Few people around the 9 realm then broadcasted the fight to the whole public network for supernatural. There is even gambling ring set up just for this fight and allegedly have the fortune of a faction worth being gambled in these gambling rings.

The big guy like chief god Lugh of Celtic, Zeus of Greek and Aten-Ra of Egyptian all looked at the fight and decided they wanted to join the alliance. With such a strong being to lead them, victory is confirmed and they also acknowledge Ray's strength. No one wants a realm buster to attack their realm after all.

While everyone is busy distracted by Ray's battle, the Bio Titan created by the Annihilation Maker starts to multiply like crazy under the rubble and finally makes an appearance. The menacing war machine roared to announce its appearance and cause the Norse gods to shift their attention to the roaring Bio Titan that one by one emerged from the rubble of the grand palace like ants in sand.

'Let's us have our fun, master Ray.' Ddraig said after being denied to fight previously by Ray.

'Yes, let me and Ddraig have our fun. We wanted to test our ability on a real opponent, sparring and testing on asteroid is getting boring for us.' Albion added excitingly.

Ray, still feeling disoriented by the forceful taking over by his skill, agreed and went to check out on Ravel. Meanwhile the red and white dragon duo appeared before they flew toward the Bio Titans.

"Before that, whoever kills the most wins."

"Are you sure about that, Albion? Unlike you, I have two offensive skills. You only have Divide while Reflect is more or less a defensive skill." Ddraig confirming Albion's invitation for duel.

"What? Do you think I'm a pussy!, afraid of mere thoughts like disadvantages?" Albion retorted Ddraig.

"Both of us are, technically." Ddraig says while pointing at Albion's crotch.

"Even if my body is a female, my mind is a male!" Albion retorted again.

"Do you think master Ray cares? Look at his… wife, Tsukuyomi. Master Ray might even say something like 'extra spice' or 'I love Trap'."

"..." Several thoughts passed through his mind and none was good as various expressions constantly appeared on his face.

"Anyway, we got sidetracked. Let's start, we can think this through later." Albion changed the topic before rushing to the Bio Titans to start killing.

Albion uses Divide to half the Bio Titan's strength, defence and everything into almost nothing but a brittle porcelain giant that is destroyed in a single punch.

Ddraig is lucky able to get his original body's ability although downgraded. He keeps double her power while keeping using Scorching Flames with Penetrate to bypass the dense and chitinous carapace on the Bio Titans.

Naturally, Ddraig is later the winner of the competition with 1.3k of the Bio Titans killed while Albion has less than 400 Bio Titans killed. Meanwhile, the whole supernatural world is looking in fear that the once feared Heavenly Dragons are making their return albeit in a… smaller body.

The Bio Titans started from 10 but very quickly multiplied into almost two thousands before it stopped multiplying completely. Dozens of those Bio Titan manage to slip past Albion and Ddraig slaughter and manage to attack the Norse gods and valkyries. The weaker people struggle to defend against them but Odin, Thor, Vidar and Scáthach are able to kill them although with great effort because only instant-kill attacks can actually kill the Bio Titans.

While everyone is fighting, Ray is cradling Ravel in his arm. He knew that Ravel is already fine, she is simply asleep as her body is recovering since Dalet only affects the physical body while the magical part is unaffected.

When two Bio Titans manage to creep up to Ray, they didn't even manage to roar before Ray's Divine Will tore them apart inside out because even if they have chitinous carapace, the internal is still soft flesh.

Two hours later, Ddraig and Albion finished their competition which also means that all the Bio Titans are killed. Ravel already woke up and now sticking on him, refuses to let go even for a second. Ray didn't mind it since she had just been through a traumatic event and instead hugged her back with his left hand.

Odin and his sons went to check on Ray while the other gods and valkyries help saving trapped people and clean up the rubbles to set up a spot to allow the injured to be treated. Thankfully the attack occurred when Midgard had its civilians mostly evacuated when they were put on high alert from Khaos Brigade attack.

"I apologize and will take responsibility as chief god of Norse for Loki's action." Odin lowered his head to apologize which is something impossible since Odin is a chief god or equivalent to king of a prosperous empire.

"No, it's my negligence to let Ravel get captured by the Khaos Brigade." Ray didn't blame Odin and instead blamed himself.

"Master Ray" Ddraig greeted Ray when she and Albion returned to him.

"Hn.. good job you two." Ray complimented them before he looked back at Odin who was looking at the dragon duo with wide eyes and speechless.

"Ahem… regardless, I am very sorry regarding Loki and we Norse mythology with me as the chief god joined the alliance. We will try our best to support the alliance's goal after we fix this mess." Odin said before looking at the destroyed palace and the city.

"Perhaps I could help."

"No need to trouble yourself, we are already indebted to you for killing Loki and his creations which greatly lessen our casualties." Odin quickly dissuades Ray but the magic circle is already being formed.

"[Wish Upon Stars]"

First magic circle bearing the crest of Ophis appeared before 4 more layers of magic circle expanded after a few moments bearing the magical alphabet and symbols as each rotated against each other. Odin can feel a very large amount of mana entering the magic circle, not as much as the previous disintegration slash. Then the whole palace and the city appeared brand new, as if recently built.

"Think of this as a welcoming gift to the alliance." Ray said as he ignored the jaw slacking Odin before he returned home and had another holiday since it's almost dawn now.

Ray has to skip modifying Zenith again. Since he could not have the focus in the morning too. Ravel then spend the afternoon to evening having Ray to herself which she wanted to have another session of sex but Ray immediately ran away since he didn't want to have he calling him daddy or papa later.

(Note: See DxD Nyx from the fandom and you will probably understand why. I mean she looks almost similar to the girls from the VictimGirls series by Asanagi in nh.net . Looking at her makes me want to put her into a similar situation like the girls in the doujin after what she dare to do to Invglid.)
