Chapter 697: Future and Present

With Surtr's apparent victory and absorption of Miraak's soul, all of the First Dragonborn's brainwashed subjects were transferred over to Surtr, as he now held his soul. His body crackled with unused power as Louise and Joseph descended to the ground and stepped off of the backs of their dragons, each kneeling before him while the dragons above roared triumphantly for their new master.

"I live to serve." Joseph all but grovels with his head lowered as Surtr comes down from his sudden power trip. He quirks a cautious brow at the man, remembering well the power he and his mages had used in Solstheim.

He turns his attention the silent pink-haired girl next him, "Well? Will you join me or not, girl?" he growls while flexing his fingers, feeling as if he could flick the city away if he wished...

She looks up and locks eyes with him, "Only if you accept my one request." she states determinately.

"Hmph, and what would that be? Why shouldn't I just cut your tongue out for questioning me here and now?"

"Because I am strong and worth the trouble." she announces with certainty.

...

"Your request?" he asks, cutting to the chase.

"I want to be the one to kill Michael Hunt."

...

"Michael Hunt?" Surtr asks in confusion, he was pretty sure he knew who she meant, but the deviation from the name was something he'd not heard before... Last names weren't something common in Skyrim, so did that mean Michael was actually from a clan? Perhaps a clan of hunters?

Louise wets her lips in irritation, "Michael Hunt, Michael Tahlin, it doesn't matter. I just want him dead. Is that arrangement agreeable with you?"

"More than agreeable. But since you know more about him than I, you should tell me more... Tell me about him and his past, why he has your animosity, and if there are any weaknesses we can take advantage of. We both know how difficult killing him may actually be, especially now that he's a Daedric Prince."

"A Daedric Prince!?" Louise blurts out in surprise, she'd not heard that before, indeed the only things abut Daedra she knew were from Miraak, who explicitly told her to stay well away from them or any mention of them. She knew they were supposedly evil gods, somehow more powerful than even Brimir at his prime...

Surtr nods, "He ascended and took the place of Clavicus Vile from what I have heard, the Daedric Prince of Power, Deals, and Contracts."

...

"So he's a god... How do we beat him...?" Louise utters despairingly.

"How else? To fight a god we require the aid of a god..."

...

----------------------------

With Miraak's defeat, Surtr continues his brainwashing tour, controlling Whiterun after Jarl Balgruuf attempts to give his gratitude in front of the city. With the influx of power Miraak's soul granted him, using Bend Will constantly wasn't much of an issue, indeed he barely made a sweat after a constant half an hour of use.

Controlling the rest of the Holds was easy enough, especially with his new dragons and servants' help. Louise' ability to open teleportation gates to different parts of Skyrim on expedited the process. After all of that was done he turned his attention to the Empire, intending to take it completely before making a play for Winterhold and Michael.

In the meantime Michael was actually off in other worlds, none of them was familiar but some he the specification he wished for... All worn-torn, apocalyptic, and overall shit shows with huge populations of innocents that would cut off their legs if the option of salvation was given.

They also provided him with some limited opportunities to gather EXP, which he was finding increasingly difficult to gather... All he really wanted was enough to be able to use Thundergod's Wrath to kill all of his annoying enemies at once, but it seemed that he was in the big leagues now, meaning he'd have to kill some big league guys to gain anything meaningful.

The titans were basically shards of a Ymir's divinity, so he'd probably need to start fighting gods, or at least pieces of them to advance any faster than snail's pace.

Regardless, his actions had created many problems for Winterhold, the first being that the town simply didn't have enough homes to house the influx of refugees. While most would be grateful to sleep in a shit-filled pig pen, Ennura and the other residents would rather give up their own homes than let that happen... Most of Winterhold knew well the difficulty of abandoning their world to seek better pastures.

He'd seen Tiffania watching him lead people through Dimension Gates, and knew she was aware of his actions due to the influx of orphans that she was attending, so hopefully she'd his attempts at making things right... Even if he'd ended up killing even more people during these rescues than he did in Marley...

Speaking of which, once he finally took the chance to sit down at home, he found himself staring at a strange sight... Ymir lying on Eren and Mikasa's laps on the couch while they and Armin watch through the Attack on Titan anime...

Eren's eyes were dull while Armi just cried his eyes out, all while Mikasa tried her best to soothe them. Apparently, learning that Eren, or 'Future-Eren' was responsible for basically everything bad that'd happened to them was a big shock.

Mikasa was just as affected as Eren at the discovery that he'd been the one responsible for her foster family's death. Thankfully for everyone involved, they knew that present Eren wasn't responsible for any of it. He'd not touched royalty, nor had he discovered his ability to send his memories back... Right now he couldn't even summon his titan again so it would be laughable to hold him in contempt...

"So, how're you guys faring?" he asks as the anime finale ends, the scene of a pregnant Mikasa and Jean almost sending Eren into a rage, much to the Ackerman's not-so-hidden delight.

Chapter 698: Godus

"So, how're you guys fairing?"

The trio + child-god look over and almost all flinch at the sight of him. They'd been made aware of the basic situation after they'd been calm enough to converse with, allowing them all to learn as his status as a God.

The fact that they didn't seem to be taking Ymir's status as a god all that seriously however had him doubting that his divinity was what scared them... Maybe it was because they were currently squatting in his house?

"Uh... Good?... This is all just a bit much to take in though." Eren admits, "To know what happened, who did it..."

Armin nods with his friend, "It's scary to know your future is laid out for you..." he gestures at the end credits of the show.

"But we changed it, so that future can go fuck itself." Michael offers with a shrug.

Eren scowls, "Exactly! As if I'd let Horse-Face touch Misaka!" he exclaims, grabbing her hand and squeezing it tightly.

Armin looks on with a smile as Mikasa blushes brightly, Eren should be aware of her feelings now so, his affectionate actions meant more than they used to...

"You'll take Jean's place then? Putting a munchkin in her belly." he remarks, amused.

Eren sputters in response to the blunt statement but doesn't lessen his grip on Mikasa's hand-. "W-hat-, I... That's for the future! D-don't look at me like that!"

"I thought you'd learned by now, Eren, if you don't plan for the future then your future will be planned for you. After everything you've seen, you're really now going to be upfront with your intentions now? It isn't like there's anything holding you back anyway."

Armin nods vigorously, "Yeah, Eren! It's a new world without cages! I mean, look! We live right next to the ocean in a big magical tower!"

"B-but..." Eren starts but Michael interrupts him.

"About that, you three are going to need to get the fuck outta my ower by next week."

"What? Why? You have the space!" Eren protests, seemingly forgetting that he was talking to a literal god of death, the others hadn't though judging by their matched grimaces.

"Because I'm having a dry spell and the thought of you two fucking annoys me." he says causing Mikasa and Eren to blush even more furiously than before, he points down at the floor and continues, "The only person fucking under this roof is me!"

"But that's-" Armin starts almost as red-faced as the duo.

"Unfair? Weird? Prudish? I don't care, this is my shit. Why do you think only girls live here?" he rhetorically questions, "So unless Mikasa here wants to dump your ass for me, you're out."

"No way in hell that's happening!" he drags Mikasa to her feet while disregarding Ymir who flops onto the floor lifelessly, "We're not staying in this 'Harem Tower' another second!"

"Alright, that saves me the trouble. As I said, you've got a week to move out and find your own place... I doubt it'll be hard, I'll vouch for you and you can use Mikasa's pay to find somewhere." he explains.

"Pay...?" Armin questions.

The door clicks and opens as Saeko walks in, "As my Apprentice... What? I'm not a slave owner, she'll be paid for her time. Which should have started an hour ago by the way..." she drawls, "We need to train your swordsmanship and Werewolf abilities, unless you want to accidentally bite your boyfriend's-"

"E-enough! I'll come!" Mikasa exclaims and quickly follows the departing swordswoman. Eren and Armin follow too, not wanting to stay behind with Michael and also wishing to see what exactly Mikasa was doing.

Michael stretches his back and neck out before looking over to Ymir, "There a reason you're so cosy with them?" she hadn't given any indication that she cared about anyone else aside from him... And those who fed her of course...

She sits up and gives an awkward smile, linking her fingers with some kind of meaning Michael couldn't catch.

"Like family then? Since they both possess powers that your daughters did?" he takes a guess.

Ymir gives a shrug and a nod, indicating that he was in the ballpark.

"You don't care that I killed Zeke then? He was basically the same."

She pulls her hands apart and holds them at a distance, shaking her head.

"Distance, so you only care if you actually know them?" he remarks.

She smiles in accent, standing and holding her hands at waist height before giving a hugging action. They were like her children then...?

He lets out a sigh and ruffles her hair, "I've got some free time so, want to try out your abilities? Neither of us really know their full extent." he asks, knowing that her time spent in that strange afterlife prohibited her from full using her divinity.

She grins, showing her teeth and holding her arms up, requesting to be carried. She was currently wearing some cutesy pink pyjama's that Maria had bundled her in and the girl refused to wear anything else... If the others refused to clean them with magic she'd strip naked and scrub them herself...

"You won't be cold? Winterhold is, well, as the name suggests."

She refuses, so Michael just wraps a small beige travelling cloak around her before carrying her to the outskirts of the town. People occasionally stopped to greet them, Ymir specifically due to how cute she was in his arms, but eventually they did make to their destination, a secluded area on the coast that Horkers used to frequent before Ennura removed them for harassing the new fishing boats.

"Alright, let's try the abilities I've already seen you use... Try create a titan here." he says, gesturing down at the ground a few meters away.
