Chapter 88, 89: Amaterasu's Cythonna, ingenuity and thoughts.
Underworld, the kingdom of Hades.
Faora was meditating on a mountain of bodies in the underworld, she was trying to access the new powers that she awoke. The challenge was not very great, the powers came to her quite naturally, it was as if she was recovering something that was long lost time.
She recovered her powers quickly, but controlling those new powers proved to be quite a chore.
The first time she stepped into the underworld, she didn't find the place unpleasant or anything, she had a comforting feeling in this place which for her was a very strange sensation. After all, she would never think she would feel comfortable in such a dingy place.
Faora opens her eyes. The moment she opened her eyes, her blue eyes sparkled and half the pile of bodies she was sitting on was frozen.
"Tsk ... My husband made it look like this was so easy." She grunted again when she realized that her control was not good enough. Again, she closes her eyes and begins to meditate.
The more she synchronized with her powers, the more she remembered a time that she shouldn't remember. At the same time, she started to acquire the feelings of the old 'Cythonna'.
She remembers that like her husband Rao, she was one of the first gods in the universe, but unlike her brothers, she was an evil goddess who was born in one of the coldest and most distant regions of the universe, she remembers that she was born with a deep hatred for heat and light.
That same hatred tried to enter her heart. 'Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill ... I hate Rao, I hate your light, I hate your heat.'
"Ugh." Faora frowned.
For a moment, she almost lost herself in this overwhelming hatred she received from former Cynthonna, but when she remembered the safety she felt in Rao's arms, she displayed a loving smile.
She remembered everything related to Rao, she remembered how he taught her how to be an empress, she remembered how he helped her with the Earth's story, she remembered the teachings he taught her.
'It's just little things, but it's these little things that balance the darkness within my heart.' She thought with a loving smile on her face, slowly her hair started to grow to the floor, her hair started to take on a white color, then her hair was totally white.
'Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill'
"Annoying. Do you think you can dominate me? I am you, but I am also Faora !! The Queen Goddess of Krypton !! " Faora opens her eyes, and just like Rao when he enters his divine form, she had completely white eyes, it was as if she were blind.
The moment she opens her eyes, the entire area where she was sitting is frozen within a radius of 10 KM.
She starts to float in the air. "The annoying voices have subsided, but I need to control my power." She was upset that those voices did not disappear, she closed her eyes again and started meditating again.
'Remember, I am Faora, I am Rao's wife, don't let these feelings influence you.' She repeated these words in her mind as if it were a mantra, she was using Rao as an emotional anchor to keep from getting lost in the feeling of hatred.
Hades, who was watching Faora from a distance, was sweating a little when he felt his queen's divinity. Faora can't tell, but by merging with Thanatos' divinity, she became the goddess of death for two pantheons. And, as she was in the underworld a place that continuously supplies the deities related to darkness, the power she now has in it was huge.
...
Amaterasu, who was meditating, suddenly stood up with worried eyes. She was training her powers, but for just a moment, she caught a glimpse of her future.
"Lady Amaterasu, what happened?" Hachiman asked Amaterasu. Currently, they were on the border of Mount Olympus.
"Nothing happened." Amaterasu spoke, she sat down again in her carriage.
'The future has changed again ... Wrong, the future has become more concrete.' For a moment, she saw Rao flying towards thousands of parademons with a goddess of death beside her. "Cythonna ..." Amaterasu swallowed her saliva when she remembered the goddess's appearance. She tried to hide it, but her expression gave away the feeling she was feeling now ... Fear, she was afraid.
She remembered the feeling she had in the prophecy and realized that it was the same feeling that that woman Faora gave her.
Amaterasu opened his eyes wide.
'I thought that woman was just a goddess of death and low-level ice, but I made a mistake. I was foolish ... Even if that woman had Thanatos' divinity, I could easily win, after all she is a newbie ... But, I didn't think that woman was Cythonna ... '
'Wasn't that crazy goddess Rao's eternal enemy? Wasn't she trying to have Rao's children to destroy the universe or something? Why are they married now !? ' She started to think; Did I spend a lot of time in seclusion? What changed in the universe while I was taking care of my pantheon?
Amaterasu would not deny, she was afraid. After all, Cythonna was one of the first goddesses to be born in the universe, just like Rao, she was powerful ... She was powerful and crazy ...
In the beginning, Amaterasu was confident in defeating Mount Olympus, especially since Rao was tired of fighting a war. If she attacked at that moment, some gods on her side would die, but she was sure she would beat Rao. But, now that it's just a distant dream, Rao has recovered and is quite healthy, and to make her situation worse, Cythonna is waking up ...
Thinking of her decisions so far, Amaterasu realized that she was acting very arrogant, if she wanted to destroy Mount Olympus, she should have attacked Rao when he was weak. If she wanted to ally with Rao, she should go and declare her intentions to him. But, she didn't do it ... She was acting like a child who has everything in her hands.
'Did I get senile over time?' She chastised herself for ignoring something so basic. 'I haven't interacted with the gods of other pantheons in thousands of years, is that why I lost my judgment?'
She took the most complicated path, she threatened Rao and allowed him to recover. 'But all is not lost, even if I lose the battle in a few days, I will still be Rao's ally. I will not be the strongest authority next to him, but I will be the second wife, that's good enough ... The problem is that crazy one, what if she decides to play with the Shinto pantheon? '
Amaterasu was thinking about several things when he discovered that Cythonna was her opponent in the future.
Suddenly she notices something. 'My pantheon is safe, Rao is not going to do anything that would undermine the military strength of his own empire ... If I lose in the fight that is about to happen, I also have the option to just go back to my pantheon and cancel the engagement, and in the future, I can try another more friendly approach. I hurried too much ... I don't need to be his wife now. '
The supreme goddess of the Shinto pantheon was quite confused about what to do next, Cythonna's presence was enough for her to consider returning home and doing nothing.
While the goddess Amaterasu is thinking about what to do in the future, the subordinates of this goddess were quite bored. Some subordinates were even considering accepting invitations from Mount Olympus nymphs and goddesses.
What was the purpose of the invitation? Simple, it was sex, parties, orgies, etc.
The gods of the Shinto pantheon did not accept it because of Amaterasu's orders, she said not to approach Mount Olympus, and if anyone disobeys her orders ... Well, they would die.
Unlike Mount Olympus, which had a 'democratic' system and the lesser gods had plenty of freedom, the Shinto pantheon had a system of monarchy. Amaterasu had the final say, and whoever disobeys the queen, can only expect the worst. Because of that, they did not accept the invitation of the goddesses and nymphs of Mount Olympus.
"I sigh, I regret not accepting that goddess's invitation ... She was so hot, although her beauty doesn't compare to Sakuya-Hime, but she was still hot." A god with short hair spoke in a bored tone.
"Fool!! Are you despising Sakuya-Hime, the goddess of Mount Fuji !? She is a pure goddess compared to those Olympian whores !! " A god with long black hair spoke in an irritated tone.
"Nani?" The god who had short hair looked at his friend.
"These bitches on Mount Olympus don't deserve our attention !! If they were not goddesses, I am sure they would have several diseases in their bodies !! Especially that 'beauty' goddess, that woman is disgusting !! " The man spoke contemptuously as he spit on the floor.
The god with short hair looked at his friend as if he were a fool: "... Why are you acting so aggressively? Are you menstruating? I was just commenting. " He shook his head as if there was no way. "I know you're in that phase, but you don't have to act like that, you're just embarrassing yourself."
Veins started to pop in the head of the god who had long hair. "At least, I don't have a green hat on my head, how did you feel when you found out that you got horns from your own ex-wife?"
"Bastard!!" The god who had short hair screamed angrily, he took out the katana that was on his waist and prepared to attack.
"Oh, do you want to fight?" The god who had long hair also drew his katana.
"What is happening!?" A strong voice sounded and paralyzed the two gods.
The two gods looked towards the voice and saw a muscular man, so the two men were extremely frightened. "Susanoo-sama !! Sorry!!" The two gods said and immediately fled.
"Hmm ... But I still haven't said anything." Susanoo murmured, he intended to teach the two lesser gods a lesson, but they ran away ...
Susanoo walks towards the forests, suddenly, while walking through the forests, he managed to smell a pleasant smell in the air.
"Susanoo-no-mikoto ... I never thought that in the east there was a god as beautiful, strong and brave as you." Suddenly, he heard a melodious voice.
He quickly turns towards the voice and sees Aphrodite who was wearing a rather small piece of clothing.
Susanoo swallows hard when he sees the goddess of beauty, but using his willpower, he asked in a neutral tone: "What are you doing here, Aphrodite? Know that I will not fall for your tricks! "
He continues: "Because you are wearing little clothes !! Wear clothes that cover the skin more !! That's why I didn't want to come to this place, you Olympians don't know what shame is !! "
Aphrodite looked at him with a confused face. Susanoo found this face quite beautiful, but soon he shakes his head several times, he keeps repeating himself in his head so as not to fall into Aphrodite's charms. 'Sneaky goddess, I won't fall for your charms !!'
But what he didn't realize was that Aphrodite was doing nothing. "What are you talking about? This is where I shower, look. " She points to a location.
Susanoo looks at the waterfall with a silly face, he looks at Aphrodite with anger in his eyes: "Do you bathe on the border of Mount Olympus !? You're treating me like a fool !! Tell me your schemes! "
"Pfft, for a god who likes to fight, you are quite a fool." She laughed at him.
"Nani !?"
"Look." Aphrodite pointed to a location.
Susanoo looks at the spot where she pointed and sees a sign saying. [Exclusive area of the goddess Aphrodite.]
"See? You invaded my territory. "
"Hmm ..." He didn't know what to say. "I'm sorry!!" Anyway, he decided to apologize!
Aphrodite displays a flirtatious smile when she saw him bow, with interactions with Susanoo, she immediately noticed something; the society of the Shinto pantheon is quite strict.
"Don't worry, as an apology, how about you talk to me for a bit? I was always curious about your homeland. "
Susanoo made a difficult face.
"Don't worry, I won't ask for inside information or anything, I'm just bored." Aphrodite spoke.
"Hmm ... I will talk to you, but put on some clothes first." Susanoo spoke.
Aphrodite laughed a little, but she agreed with the man's request.
