Chapter 15: Clean-Ups

"Thank you for the lap pillow, Aisha."

After Raphael finished the synthesis, Arne still laid on Aisha's lap pillow for a little while longer. He was very happy right now because he got 12 Ultimate Skills. Not only did he get some new skills from the new Ultimate Skills while retaining the old, he also didn't need to worry that his authorities that now have been turned into skills would be stolen or copied. Except they got something more powerful than Ultimate Skills which seems quite impossible.

After enjoying the soft lap for a while, Arne stood up. This time, he didn't need to sleep at the Healing Chamber because he can use one of his Ultimate Skill, Asmodeus, to restore himself to his peak.

"No problem, Arne-san."

Aisha didn't shy or blushed anymore because Arne didn't tease her this time and she enjoyed being with Arne. It felt like taking care of a cute little brother.

"Just call me Arne."

Arne reminded her because he felt that Aisha could be trusted because she didn't have the ability to win against him. Rather, he felt that he should protect her, or she might be fooled by some stupid Japanese guy with short black hair.

"O-Okay, A-Arne!"

Aisha was flustered when Arne told her to call his name directly and she tried to call him by name although she stuttered a bit.

Here, Arne was confused.

'Is this girl really not Japanese?'

He felt that it was weird for her to stutter when he told her to call his name directly. After all, she was Indian where calling by name should be normal not like Japanese people where they should address someone with a suffix if they were not close.

What Arne forgot was that Aisha wasn't that close to any males except for Voban whom she addressed as Onii-sama. That's also if they met. When she traveled to the past, she also wasn't close to anyone because her only purpose was to save people. Before she became a Campione, she was also a maid in a British Family and always addressed everyone with either Miss, Madam, or Master.

That's why she was modest, gentle, and polite.

Actually, after Arne had woken up after he met Pandora, Aisha was about to go but he didn't want to and stayed on her lap.

Arne suddenly remembered what Lucifer said. He said at the end of their battle that he would gain the biggest benefits if he could pass this event.

There were three benefits that he got. The first was obviously all the authorities he got from slaying the eight Heretic Gods. The second was Lucifer's authority called «Synchronization» which allowed the Great Sage and other authorities to merge and evolve. The third and the biggest was the Ultimate Skills that he got from the synthesis.

Arne couldn't help but grin widely.

"What happened, A-Arne?"

Aisha was still not used to calling Arne by his name and stuttered a bit. She was curious and confused why Arne suddenly grinned widely like a villain…

"Nothing. So you will go back now?"

Arne shook his head and asked Aisha to divert the topic. Aisha didn't pursue him because she felt that it was his privacy and she has no use in knowing it either.

"Yes, I will go back now."

Aisha nodded and she was a bit hesitant to leave because she enjoyed being around Arne, the first little brother she got.

"Take this."

Arne said to Aisha with a face full of gentle and kind smiles while handing Aisha a ring. The ring was golden in color and material with a rune carved on it.

"... A-A ring?! T-This!"

Aisha was surprised when she found out that Arne gave Aisha a ring. From what Aisha knew, a ring could only be given to someone important or his/her spouse!

"Awawawawa! T-This was too early, Arne-san!"

Aisha was flustered and her face was so red that Arne could see the smoke coming out of her head. She was overheating… Even she went back to calling Arne with a suffix because she didn't have the time to think anymore.

"What are you thinking? Are you a shotacon? Are you interested in a younger boy?"

Arne was speechless when he saw Aisha overheated and started to mumble weird things like "This was too fast.", "I am not ready to become a mother.", and "I am still 17…". He somehow felt that this girl was too dangerous because she liked younger boys. I mean, it was fine if he was 15 or so but he was still 10 (physically) and Aisha was already like that…

"...Eh?"

Aisha suddenly realized after she heard what Arne said.

"I-I am not!"

She was still blushing not only because of her misunderstanding but also because of Arne's words.

"Forget it. I gave you this ring because it can connect me to you no matter where you are and what timeline you're in. This can be used for communication."

Arne shook his head and immediately explained the use of the ring to Aisha. Well, this ring can be used to locate each other but it could only be used by Arne and with Arne's permission for other people. This ring can also be used for Arne to get Aisha's powers and he could also share with Aisha his authorities as long as he wanted to. Yes, this ring was «Draupnir», the authority he got from Odin that he used on Freya and Hel too.

"O-Oh…"

Aisha didn't know what to say anymore because she embarrassed herself in front of Arne because of her misunderstanding. She felt that her dignity as an older sister has been torn because of this.

Arne considered Aisha as his little sister that needed to be protected and Aisha considered Arne as her little brother because he was cute. What a contradiction…

But, in the end, Aisha has lost her impression as an older sister and was degraded to a clumsy little sister.

"Lend me your hand."

Arne said but he didn't wait for Aisha to move and directly took her left hand and directly put the ring on her ring finger.

"E-Eh?"

Aisha was stunned when she saw the ring that Arne wore on her left hand's ring finger.

"Bye, Aisha. Find me in Dubai if you want to meet me. «Yggdrasil»!"

Arne immediately teleported back to Jerusalem with one of the skills of «Lord of World - Yggdrasil» called «Teleportation» that can only be used if he knew the location. He left directly because he wanted to tease Aisha and let her be confused.

"E-EEEHHHH?!"

Aisha who was stunned for a moment immediately screamed when she woke up from her thoughts. She was very flustered and overheated again because of the ring on her left hand. From what she knew, the ring on the left hand's ring finger can only be used on a married couple…

"M-Maybe six years later… It was fine, right?"

Aisha was too flustered that she couldn't think straight anymore.

『Authority «Live or Die» has been acquired.』

«Live or Die» was the authority Aisha got from Persephone, the Goddess of Spring and Underworld. As Goddess of Spring, this authority allowed her to heal any form of injuries and restore someone back to their perfect condition. This authority could also dispel and purify any abnormal condition. It was similar to his «Asmodeus» but with less power and some restrictions.

As Goddess of the Underworld, this authority allowed her to control ice and coldness with immunity to cold. This authority could also open the gate to the underworld and suspend everything that fell into it.

『Authority «Grand Luck» has been acquired.』

«Grand Luck» was the authority she got from Hotei, the God of Fortune and Popularity. This authority granted her immense luck and blessing when she was doing her tasks. This authority can be shared and could even descend impossible miracles on her.

『Authority «Charm or Curse» has been acquired.』

«Charm of Curse» was the authority she got from a Catholic Saint. This authority increased her charm and made her more favorable to other people. But, too much encouragement would make them become fanatics.

『Authority «Fairy's Corridor» has been acquired.』

«Fairy's Corridor» was the authority she got from Niamh, the Queen of Tir-na-nOg. This authority allowed her to open a gate and travel back to the past but couldn't be used to travel to the future. This authority could also allow her to use the corrective force to protect herself by altering reality.

"Hehehe."

Arne laughed wickedly after he got Aisha's authorities from «Draupnir». He really got a big harvest this time.

"Now, let's do the cleaning."

Arne was flying in the air with six pairs of golden wings behind him. He was floating above the Star of David, the organization created and ruled by Solomon. He wanted to clean them up by killing two-thirds of them. Why didn't he kill them all? That's because he wanted the remaining to become his slaves and get him some artifacts or some good things for him.

He also didn't want to destroy the balance of the Magic Association in Israel. Arne thought that he would also destroy two-thirds of the second-ranked Magic Association in Israel to balance them with the Star of David. He didn't want them to become his slaves because they didn't have that much fear of him more than the people of Star of David.

Well, he didn't care and didn't want to think too much about killing many humans. After all, it was all for the greater good.

HAHAHA.

He didn't want Aisha to follow him when he was doing the clean-up because she would definitely hinder him from doing the killing. She didn't like to fight or kill. She killed Heretic Gods because she wanted to save people. She might prevent him from killing these people and even might fight with him because of her personality.

"Look! What's that?"

One of the people under him suddenly shouted while pointing at him. He was asking the person next to him.

"T-That's an angel!"

His partner immediately exclaimed and he broke down in tears while kneeling on the ground.

"O' Holy angel! Thanks for your blessing on us!"

The person that cried while kneeling on the ground suddenly worshiped him and attracted the attention of the other members of Star of David.

The other people immediately kneeled on the ground and broke down in tears while saying the same thing as the person before.

"I will be the judge over you all. «Heaven's Judgement»!"

Arne glanced at the people below him coldly. He didn't care about their worship and praise at all. He pointed his finger to the sky and the people under him also looked upwards.

The sky suddenly shined brighter than they have ever seen. The blue sky and the white clouds were even covered with the light. The light slowly descended upon the earth. Arne slowly pointed his finger down and pointed at their place.

*Fwoommm*

The light that slowly descended upon the earth immediately fell down from the sky and purged the land. The buildings and the ground weren't destroyed but the people on the ground were lying on the ground lifelessly. Exactly two-thirds of them have been killed.

After he saw the people of the Star of David had been killed, he descended down and met the people that were still alive.

"Y-You're not an angel!"

Aharon screamed when he saw his comrades had been killed by the light and was stunned when he saw Arne's face.

"Your King Solomon has died."

Arne sneered and said coldly at Aharon.

"M-My king…"

Aharon fell down on his knees and his eyes were lost.

"You should feel grateful. «Faith Domination»!"

Arne immediately used the other skill of «Lord of Justice - Michael» called «Faith Domination» to control the faith of weaker beings. This skill could work better when their faiths have been destroyed.

The eyes of Arne and the remaining members of the Star of David seemed like they had regained their light. Their faiths.

"My King!"

Aharon and the other members of the Star of David immediately kneeled on one knee at Arne and bowed at him.

"Bring the dead bodies here."

"Yes!!"

They immediately stood up and collected the dead bodies of their partners.

Not long after, the dead bodies of the two-thirds of the members of Star of David have been arranged neatly on the ground.

"Arise."

*Fwooshhh*

The wind suddenly blew very hard. The dead bodies show no change but they were clad in darkness. Their shadows immediately stood up from their dead bodies that have the same appearance as them.

The members of the Star of David were stunned and were very scared because of what they saw. After all, they have never seen undeads before. Furthermore, these undeads were their former comrades. But, they exhaled to calm and cheer themselves that it was a blessing that it was not them that died and became undeads.

These were undeads but different from the undeads that Osiris and Voban summoned. This undead was a being called Shadow. Shadow was a kind of undead race created from the mana of the dead body. This Shadow could regenerate infinitely with the help of his mana and can't be destroyed. They could also grow by killing like how they got experiences in an RPG game. They could also infiltrate other beings' shadows without being noticed. They were deadly loyal to him even though he killed them and even have their memories of when they were alive.

Arne ranked them from Normal, Elite, Knight, Elite Knight, General, Marshal, and Grand Marshal. The Shadows could talk and converse with others when they became Generals.

Why did Arne turn them into Shadow? That's because there were not many beings in this world stronger than Gods except Campione and vice-versa. The beings that were stronger than humans would only be Magicians, Witches, Hime-Mikos, Knights, and many more. The other reason was they could evolve infinitely as long as they gained experiences. So he didn't need to worry about them being weak. At least they could do the rough work for him.

"My King."

The Shadows Army kneeled on the ground when they saw Arne. Their numbers weren't that much. Probably about 300 Shadows. But, this was enough in this kind of world.

"Go and kill the members of the Second-Ranked Organization and the Third-Ranked Organization in this country."

"Yes, my King."

The Shadows immediately disappeared from the place.

"Your job is to gather artifacts and magic books for me."

Arne said to the remaining member of Star of David.

"Yes, my King."

Aharon as the representative nodded and immediately went back to their headquarters. Arne has appointed him as the new leader of the Star of David and would be the only one who could communicate with him.

Arne actually felt amazed with Star of David because their plan was very hidden and even the Witenagemot didn't get any wind of their plans. They could abduct those Hime-Mikos and Witches without even getting busted. They must have killed the families of those girls…
