*Underworld*(Grimory Mansion)

*Tuesday*

*Am/Pm*

*Early Early Morning*

Right now everyone was sitting around the table, with Haile and Hera on the bed and Koneko who was seated on Haile's lap, He had just finished discussing about everyone's origins and background, mostly Sona and Rias were the most surprised.

But not at Hera but at Nalisa, they had no idea that other members of the lost clans had survived, it was a great surprise to them, makes them wonder what else the devil race were hiding.

."But wait, Haile, didn't you...just come back from the Greek Pantheon, di-did you..."Sona suddenly realized something and gasped, she looked Hera who kept her head straight and proud.

The others were slower but hearing Sona it swiftly clicked in their mind, Hera is the queen of the Greek Pantheon Haile said he was going to destroy, now they appeared here together.

Just what was going on, Venelana had a glint in her eyes as she glanced between both Haile and Hera with a knowing gaze, she knew exactly what went down, but it seems to be even deeper than she thinks.

."Yes, I destroyed it all, but Hera killed her own husband for me, I had nothing to do with that at all."Haile said shrugging his shoulders casually.

Sona's jaws drop, Venelana put her hand over her mouth, she could never imagine doing that to Zeoticus, Sona raised an eyebrow."You are a beautiful being, but come on ain't that to far?."She said, this Hera woman was crazy, she needs to watch her closely.

."..My husband was Zeus."Hera said with a stone cold face, that was all she spoke as she looked away.

.""Oh I see"".

The others nodded, nothing more needed to be said after, the legends of Zeus were the most popular myth in Greek Mythology, from the animals he fornicated with to even same sex and no sex, don't ask.

."He did not love me, or treat me good, I was weaker than him back then, I don't know why I did it but I married him and things happened, I loved him but the reason I took on all his shit all these years was not my own will."Hera spoke out calmly, she didn't see the harm in telling them, they were Haile's people and she could get rid if them all.

Everyone was surprised at that Akeno tilt her head."What do you mean not your own will."She ask, that was strangely put.

Haile frowned and spoke up looking at Hera with understanding."It is her Divinity, as the Goddess of Marriage that is her duty, love, family etc everything that goes with it, but she is bound heavily by it, because of the sacredness of marriage and love, if she loves then it is increased to obsession by her Divinity, now...if she is obsessed then her Divinity increases it to..."He said said trailing off at the end not even knowing what to say as even he didn't know.

The others looked at her as well, they felt a chill in their spines, so that was why she killed her husband for Haile, but just what did he do to make her like this.

.""Ggghh"".

Hearing a groan sound out everyone in sync turned to the bed, Haile looked behind him at Melody who was now beginning to wake up from her unconsciousness.

Melody in the bed twitched, twist and turned her body uncomfortably as if cold and searching for warmth, whose warmth who knows, her eyes twitch slightly as they slowly open with an unfocused gaze looking at the cealing.

.'..Where am i, have I managed to reach heaven after all, I'm not burning, I hope I didn't worry him too much with my selfishness.'Melody thought as she stared at the cealing in a comfortable daze.

She just layed there not even bothering to look around or move possibly for an indefinite amount of time, but of course someone will come along the way to shatter the illusion as usual and bring her delusional ass back to reality.

.""Melody"".

Melody simply blinked twice and the world she just built in her mind shattered like glass, she stiffly turn her head to the side and the first thing she saw was Haile's beautiful face looking back at her.

She saw that multiple people were looking at her, Remaining in an awkward silence she looked around the room, she closed her eyes for a few moments then opened them back as if in disbelief.

."Why am I not dead???."Melody asked with a tone of confusion keeping still only glancing around, her brain was a mess.

Haile raised an eyebrow."Why, because I said so didn't I, I said you would not die so you will not, as the Supreme Wing Godking it is my decree."He said casually rubbing Koneko's head gently as she snuggled in his hands.

."But I don't want to suffer anymore, I give up, it already won, I can no longer fight, I'm done."Melody calmly said as she gently passed her gaze over all of the other women in the room and felt a wave of hopelessness sink in.

Haile kept cool, he was silent for a bit before asking her a question."What is, Lady Of Baltimorai, Queen Of The Underworld."He ask her.

.""Gasp!?!?"".

Melody sat up at frightening speed as her body trembled, her eyes painted in fear and a look in them as if reliving the past."How do you know about that!?."She asked almost shouting as her heart shook.

."I'm a God, could even say I'm The God, I do posses the power, I can know these thing, are you willing to tell me, it seems that it hit a nerve didn't it."Haile continued speaking calmly glancing at her.

Melody took a deep breath, she really didn't want to talk about it, it should have been buried along with her and the other girls and boys.

The others focused in on her wanting to hear what was going on as well, though Venelana felt a little bad seeing the girl so troubled, Hera could feel her emotions as well but she didn't care.

."Haile, maybe you shouldn't force her, it seems difficult for her to speak about it."Venelana said sympathetically, everyone had their own worries and burdens.

Haile didn't say anything he just looked at Melody who still seems to be contemplating, she looked at all the women and girls in the room and sighed self depreciating, what was she possibly afraid for, she will not be alive much longer to feel the embarrassment.

.""..It....it all began, over 30 years ago, when I was just a small little girl, Baltimorai... Baltimorai..that was a place in the deserts of Japan, it..it was a city of rich men and women who were bored of their riches"".

.""The Sex Trafficking Drug City"".

.""They built that city, that horrible horrible city, they trafficked young girls and boys, they brainwashed and trained them to be assassins, whores and what ever else they wanted, they put us through torture, of all kinds, cut us open, min us up, broke our bones and fix them back, took out our eyes put them back in...., they br..o..ke us, so that we could not be broken again..."Melody spoke out as her voice cracked, but she held herself together taking a deep breath.

Venelana had her hand on her mouth, she felt so bad, she couldn't believe a little girl had to endure such suffering, how did that happen.

Sona, Rias and Akeno clenched their fist hearing her story, Nalisa almost cried, she couldn't believe some people could be so evil, Tiamat in the corner could care less, she was not interested in the life of humans.

Haile on the other hand was as calm as can be, this did not cause even a ripple in his heart, for he too had experienced something similar in his life, but he had questions."Who were these people, they couldn't be simple people in the human world, they must posses great monetary might and high status."He said playing with Koneko's tail.

."They were..two main ones, a man and a woman, they after building the city proclaimed themselves King and Queen of Baltimorai, they had severe God complex issues as well, they were the riches and most powerful in the city, then it was the council these 20 people, 10 men and 10 women, they were just as bad, everyone else in the city were slaves that were brainwashed, from the guards to the cooks and doctors, all those people were sick, what those nasty pest did to those boys and girls."Melody said grinding her teeth her eyes almost Blazing.

Melody took another breath before continuing on."All the things they made us do, for over 20 years, we killed for them, stealed for them, every vile thing you could possibly think of, but the worst thing of all about our situation, is that for most of us we were sold to them by our own, parents, even though I was just a child I remember it clear as day, my mother and father, selling me for 200 dollars and an escape from jail free card."She said, she spoke the words mother and father with venom, her eyes flashed with so much hatred that suprisingly disappeared instantly after.

."But it doesn't matter now though it has all been put to rest in my past, or so I've thought, but I'm just tired now though, I want to just sleep for a little while."Melody said relaxing as she smiled, she glanced at all the other women in the room slightly and felt it a shame.

Haile had his hand on his face as he patted Koneko's head slightly in thought, he looked up."So, how did you escape all of thi-...oh...I see.."He asked but then stopped midway as he saw her expression, she nodded sadly.

."..I had to do what I had to do, Unfortunately for a weak wo....mortal woman there is no way to win without that, I won I guess, everyone was set free, as free as we could be at least, those people burnt the city to the ground with everything in it including some of the kids, we had nothing."Melody said her expression now calm.

The room was completely silent, which was awkward for Tiamat specifically because she didn't care at all, but somehow she felt that to disturb the current atmosphere would be blasphemous.

Koneko who was having an enjoyable head pat, she got up off Haile's lap and went to Melody who looked at her curiously, Koneko grabbed her hand monotonously and pulled her to Haile.

.""Ahh!"".

Melody yelped as she was given a violent shove making her fall onto Haile's lap, her face burned Iike a furnace, the others chuckled except Hera who was current feeling like committing an act of great violence.

."Rub."Koneko said as she then took Haile's hand and place it on top of Melody's head, Haile shook his head as he rubbed Melody's head.

Koneko looked at Melody's expression."Feel good, feel better, simple magic."She said proudly puffing up her chest that only she got to enjoy the full depth of this pleasure.

."Mmmm it does indeed feel nice."Melody said as she closed her eye relaxing in Haile's arms, Haile smiled then frowned as he turned to Tiamat who nodded.

*BOOOM*!!!!

Out of nowhere a loud explosion rung out, the entire Mansion shook like a leaf in the winds and rain, everyone in the Mansion was stunned, the maids and butlers alike went on guard, so did mist like guards who appeared out of nowhere.

On the other side of the Mansion Zeoticus rolled off the bed at the sound as his heart skipped a beat."What the, what was that, GUARDS!."He bellowed out after quickly collecting himself.

*Shh*! *Shh*!

Two magic circles opened infront of him and two of the devil guards appeared.""Yes Lord Grimory.""They both said respectfully.

."What is going on out there also where is Venelana and Rias, make sure they are protec-oh never mind, go out and secure the perimeter."Zeoticus said calmly as he reached for a robe putting it on before walking out the room.

From the outside, one would see in the sky's the once multi textured purple was a dark pitch of black hovering specifically over the Grimory estate which is currently covered with a golden barrier.

Within the center of the darkness in the firmament a whirlpool like portal was opened and standing there was a familiar silhouette.

Long blonde hair with bits of red mixed in that looked like blood, gray eyes that seemed close to black, dressed in a jewel adorned black armor with an accompanying black cape, his expression calm and majestic.

."ah...it been awhile since I've been back here, seems like forever, that other world is getting me frustrated right now, I needed this break."Saji said with a relaxed cool expression his hand cross infront of him as he levitated without his devil wings.

As he stood there looking down on the Mansion that he tried to destroy, across the underworld many powerful people noticed his presence, especially the ones familiar with him.

~~

In a temporary palace made for him in the underworld Odin being served by Rossweisse some tea by the window, he frowned as he looked off into the distance.

."That sad brat is back again for trouble, time disturbance as well, he has evolved, welp not my problem hahaha, isn't that right Azazel."Odin said chuckling as he rubbed his beard, he glanced slightly into the darkness of the room.

.""Hahaha he had a better chance just not coming back, an ant to a God, the disparity is mind-boggling, should we go take a peek, I'm interested in that armor he had on last time"".

Azazel came out from the shadows along with his vice General, he had a slight smile on his face, he came and stood behind where Odin sat.

.""The Underworld is a fun place to be"".

~~~

In other parts of the Underworld similar seems took place amongst the Satans and other powerhouses as word spread around like gossip.

Only a few seconds in the devils territory of the Underworld was in a frenzy mostly because of the rumors that comes with telling a secret.

With Haile and the others back at the Mansion, they all had gone outside at this time looking at the idiot once again in the sky, the only one unsure of what was going on was Melody.

Sona felt so embarrassed her face was slightly red, but it could possibly be because of anger, everyone knew that saji was her servant but he is causing her all sorts of trouble.

Hera frowned as she looked up at the piece of shit that dare attack where her Haile is staying he must die for this insolence."Who is that person, how dare he even still continue breathing after pointing his hand in the direction of my lover."She spoke out her thoughts.

Everyone looked at her then to Haile who smiled and shrugged."I guess she's staying hahaha."He said not minding the craziness that seemed to worry everyone else.

."Maybe I should go talk to him maybe, if I ask nicely will he disappear."Hera said with gentle eyes that promised pain and misery, very bipolar.

""Wait, please"".

Sona said as she looked at Saji."His name is Saji, my servant and part of my peerage, been like family to me."She said feeling a slight pain in her heart.

."So what, are you asking me to spare him, wait a minute, aren't you supposed to be one of Haile "people" why so concern over some random man, should you also follow him, are you a traitor?."Hera said Ruthlessly with a happy glint in her eyes pointing her hand to Sona, she wants to get rid of all the competition.

Sona was surprised at all this, she frowned as well.'This woman is dangerous, her mind feels unstable, what the hell are you doing Haile.'She thought as she clenched her fist.

Rias, Koneko, Tsubaki, Venelana, Akeno, all of them had Sona's back of course, homeground advantage, even Nalisa was ready to help, afterall she owed Venelana heavily, they all wanted the heat.

Haile stood with his hand on his face."Really right now, with an enemy in the sky looking at us, you couldn't even pretend that you have harmony."He said, he felt a gentle pat on his shoulder, he looked back and saw Zeoticus.

."I understand, it happens, kinda part of the job description of being the king of a harem, it's always going to be like this, unless you find that one woman who can hold it all down, keep it all in order with brute force if need be, that being my wife for me, that one doesn't seem like the best option."Zeoticus said calmly but with empathy, he shared his great wisdom with a fellow brother.

Haile's eyes glowed in realization as someone instantaneously popped up in his mind.'Yes, that's it, Ophis, she may be monotonous, but if I explain it she will understand, she led a criminal organization of mass monster, what could go wrong.'He thought, as long as Ophis doesn't freak out about him having a harem then it will be smooth sailing from then on.

.""You all have some nerve huh, to ignore me so casually"".

As the atmosphere was getting more and more heated a calm, magnetic voice blew in the wind, it sounded just charismatic it was insane, Saji floated down to get a closer look, he no longer lost his cool like he did before, he seemed tranquil.

The girls looked at him, Hera was angry that he interrupted her Chance to lessen the competition.

Haile glanced at him and smirked."You have changed quite a bit, maybe if you had inhabitant this existence from the start you would have had your dream girl from the beginning, wouldn't even need to find another to lose as well."He said mockingly.

Unusually Saji didn't get angry, he smiled a self depreciating."Yes, maybe, I've, had alot of time, to think to myself after I had to run away from my own home, again, especially by an outsider to besides."He said slowly gaining a smile of his own glancing to Sona.

Haile frowned at the word outsider, but then instantly regained his smirk.'If this is your only plan, you will regret this.'He thought looking at the fool.
