Chapter 73: Level 8
...
3rd Pov
After an entire day, Aiz returned to Twin Manor and was brought back to be questioned by the Goddess Loki. " Tell me Aiz! Did that bastard tried anything funny with you!", she asked with her fox-like eyes, Aiz shook her head and said with a small smile on her face," We slept together", she replied, and the entire place became silent.
Loki's face turned into one of horror and disbelief, meanwhile Lefiya snapped, her face turned emotionless, Bete's eyes became cold, Riveria's face was emotionless, however anger brewed inside her. Tione and Tiona looked at their friend gobsmacked, surprised of the development. Seeing the change in atmosphere, Finn coughed and asked," Can you detail us what it might be?"
" Captain!", Tione looked embarrassed and looked at Finn, in fact everyone looked at him suspiciously, especially Gareth who was wondering if Finn has finally lost it. " I hugged him like a teady bear all night", Aiz replied without hesitation and everyone's face changed.
Truth.
That was what Loki realized due to her divinity and erupted into laughter," Haha! I Loki hasn't been ntr'd yet!!", she shouted looking above on the ceiling. Suddenly everyone realized that Aiz lacked sex education, especially Riveria who coughed in embarrassment. ' Indeed, it is Miss Aiz! How can she give her chastity to a random playboy! ', thought Lefiya with relief. Still, she was jealous that the man was hugged by Aiz like all night.
While all of them were relieved, they missed the fact that Aiz visited Arthur during morning, way before evening. So, whatever needed to happen, had happened before night, and in the end, Aiz was exhausted and fell into sleep while hugging Arthur like he is her teady bear. " Aiz why didn't you come with Sir Arthur?", asked Tiona suddenly.
Aiz's face fell and she said," He had to look after his daughters and had some work, so... He didn't come", seeing her sad look, envy and jealousy flashed in Lefiya and Bete's eyes. " Well, whatever, let's put all things aside and let's go over with our information", Finn said, and everyone nodded. " Normally I would go over the details with Loki, Riveria and Gareth, but due to recent happenings, you all should be detailed about it."
" First comes the appearance of those monsters on the surface during Monster philia", he said and everyone nodded," Those were very difficult to deal, and we know that Freya familia had no hands in it", Riveria said and Tione grunted," That day we were in a hitch, thankfully we had Captain with us!", she looked at Finn," Well Aiz was in the dungeon, searching for her soul mate all things considered", said Tiona glancing at Aiz.
" Ughh! Before that man met Aiz, he had already ruined my date plans! Such a cunning bastard!", Loki grunted, and everyone ignored her. " We have not much information on them sadly, our best option is a dungeon expedition, which I have decided we will be doing after two weeks with Hephaestus familia", Finn said.
" Next comes the matter of Minerva Familia, I have gathered the information, and as Tione had said they are an all-female familia, their Goddess apparently descended in an island nation called Camelot, details about the nation remain a mystery, but apparently their Goddess has decided to join the game, aka move into Orario, they have several high level 5's with their weakest being Arthur's two daughters who are Level 4's or so I got to know", he said and everyone gasped.
" How many Level 5's they have?", asked Gareth, and Finn said," In a rough estimate over five or so, they are basically a small elite team focused familia just like Astraea Familia used to be", hearing it Loki said," We are getting another tough competition basically, sadly we can't afford them as enemies, having them as our ally will much more beneficial."
" I have a question!", Tiona raised her hand playfully, Finn nodded and she asked," Does Goddess Loki wants them as our allies because Aiz's soul mate is connected with that familia or is it because it is an all-female familia", her question roused everyone's interest as their eyes moved towards Loki who gritted her teeth," Of course due to them being All-Female familia", she replied firmly, not hiding her perversion.
" For both reasons then", said Finn with a nod," Now we come to the last matter, it wouldn't been of much significance if not for the person involved it, apparently Ottar of Freya Familia had been exploring the dungeon since yesterday, it isn't just the fact a higher member of their familia is exploring the dungeon, but also that Ottar is decimating monsters of every floor", he said.
Everyone became serious, especially Gareth, Riveria and Loki." Is he frustrated and is taking it out on those monsters?", asked Tiona, and Tione shook her head," Of course not, that guy is probably on his Goddess' orders", she said denying her sister. " What are the chances is they are plotting something?", asked Gareth. " Knowing Freya I would say, very high", said Loki.
" Finn what do you think?", asked Riveria and pallum's face became solemn," If I am not wrong, he is trying to rank up", he said widening everyone's eyes. " That's crazy, but if he does levels up that would mean-", paused Lefiya realizing the seriousness of the matter. " It would mean Orario will have a new level 8 after so many years, and with his beastification he might approach the strength of a Level 9", said Finn.
" The gap between us will widen extremely", said Loki with seriousness," Again Leveling up isn't that easy, so it might result in failure, however I doubt he will stop trying if he fails once or twice", said Finn. " Ugh... How I wish I have a soul mate as well", said Riveria and her words caught everyone guard off. " Huh, Miss Riveria what do you mean by that?", asked Lefiya with a frown.
" Nothing", Riveria said bluntly ending the topic. Finn and Gareth glanced at her, and she glared at them. " It's something the problem?!", she asked, and they shook their head," I guess she is going senile", said Gareth," Indeed", Finn nodded. Riveria gritted her teeth, seeing the big three bickering, Lefiya looked at the scene in disbelief.
While the Loki familia continued with their meeting, a Goddess looked at the Orario from the top.
...
Hundreds of Millions of years ago, back in Heaven, within the realm of Alfheim, she was born. Who was she one might ask? She was the Goddess of Beauty and War, Freya. Even as a Child her Arcanum of Beauty, and Bewitchment was far stronger than any God or Goddess of Beauty. As she grew up, everyone realized her powers could sway a Supreme Deity's mind and bend them to her will.
Of course, she had no intention of doing so, however others, especially Odin were wary of her. Even if there existed three Virgin Goddesses of Olympus, the only to have the capability to resist her charm, she was still an object of everyone's scorn. Gods were immortal, they never aged, never needed any nourishment, never got sick.
Even if they were to be killed, they would resurrect within few thousand years, making them truly immortal beings. Thus, there were only two ways to restrict her, one was to kill her again and again, and second was to firmly cage her, and kill her on the slightest hint of disobedience. Odin choose the second, as wars were a thing of the past, and for a billion years there had been no war in Heavens.
But did that matter? Her very freedom was restricted, she was forced to live under a cramped place, under the scrutinizing eyes of several Valkriyes. Like a caged bird, she spent her life, days passed by and how much she longed for freedom! To witness the world! With time she managed to befriend Brunhilde, and finally managed to roam the realms of Norse Pantheon.
Then she met her- Who she was? She didn't know, by now she did had an inkling, but it was useless. " You shall meet a person who would treasure you, love you, show you all the wonders of the world, he will be your happiness. He is the Odr, your Odr", the Goddess prophesized. Like a flame illuminating the darkness, it had filled with hope.
So she waited, and waited and waited for eons, but he never showed up, still she preserved waiting for her fated one. But alas, he never came. At some point she became depressed, angry of her fate, angry of her prowess. She never wanted to become a Goddess of Beauty, she never wanted to be the strongest one, she cursed at fate. If things weren't any better, that event happened.
" How dare you! You bitch! To use your powers on Ymir!", Odin had become truly angry that day. " I-I didn't do anything! I swear in the name of my Arcanum! Please!", Freya pleaded, but Odin didn't listen to her. The Wisdom God knew it wasn't her doing, Ymir, the Primordial God who resided over the Norse was invited to a party by him.
Once his eyes fell on the Goddess of Beauty, he fell for her. In the end he daringly approached her, the poor Freya was a caged girl, she knew nothing of courage and how to deny others, so Ymir seeing it as acceptance tried to force her way and, in the end, she subconsciously used her Arcanum to control the Primordial to save herself.
Odin was enraged by her act and was horrified of her capability of handling their supreme god and ordering him as if he was a mere puppet. Thus, without any reason he punished her, did he rape her? Nope, that would have earned him the ire of the Primordial Goddesses and Ouranos, thus he beat her till her face was unrecognizable, he whipped her till a river of her blood was formed.
He cut her limbs off and hung her off a tree sealing the majority of her divine powers for years. She was traumatized in the end, and never wanted to go through such a horrifying experience again. Thus, she snapped and dirtied herself. The Arcanum of Love that she presided over, she defiled it, she made love with countless Gods, wishing that her cursed powers vanish due to her foul acts.
She made Gods fell for her, and in return for their protection from Odin, she gave her body. She was reduced to whore, and when she realized her mistake, it was too late. What will her odr will think of? Her body was already defiled by countless men, but even the prophesy of her Odr seemed bleak to her. She had travelled all of Heavens, enchanting countless Gods, but she never meet him.
In the end, she just gave up, and after thousands of years of anguish and loneliness, when the descent of Gods began. She realized perhaps her Odr was never a God to begin with, maybe he was a mortal. Thus, she descended in hopes of meeting him, alas Genkai was an unforgiving place. As a new Goddess who had no support, the only way to earn it was to use her body.
Thus, she endured it, and meet Mia and Ottar, finally establishing her familia and when she thought she can let go of that past, she met her. " How amusing, you think that as a sacrifice? You truly are delusional whore", she met Hera and was forced by the God Queen to be her pawn, her subordinate. She was again reduced to a plaything even if not sexually.
For years she had to endure, till the familias of Greek Gods fell before the mighty Black Dragon, and when she was finally free, she could hardly believe it. " I-I am free?", she had said that day, under the gaze of Ottar and laughed madly till her throat was hurting. In Genkai that damned Odin could do nothing, neither their Primordial Ymir, as the Strongest Supreme Deity, Ouranos presided over the Genkai and in his presence no Divine was allowed to use their Arcanum.
As long as she was the strongest, as long her familia was the strongest, no God, even a Supreme could touch her! She was untouchable or so she thought. " Thinking back now, I was too foolish", she said as she looked over the Orario from the top, her eyes fixated upon the Aiz's soul and her soul bond, her eyes trailed the bond to it's male counterpart, and what did she witness?
Nothing, Absolutely nothing. She bit her lips in frustration, she wanted a glimpse of it, even if for a bit, she would give her life for it. She still can't forget how dazzling that soul was, mortal? Divine? They paled in comparison, it was an engima, such a beautiful one, that the moment she saw it, she knew, it was her Odr.
Naturally she wanted her Odr, even if it meant killing Gods and mortals alike in the path, and there was where she did the mistake. As just a thought of that, earned her ire. " Foolish Whore... Do you think you are worthy of him?", the Goddess who appeared before her had questioned. Her words undoubtedly irked her, and so she used her Divinity in an attempt to Charm her, and then kill her, sending back to Tenkai.
But her powers that had worked, always worked, failed. Even as if she went crazy and unleashed her Divine self, her powers crumbled like a glass before her. She soon realized she wasn't in tenkai, but in a realm devoid of anything. It was Abyss, and just seeing it had nearly killed her. After torturing her for a while, the Goddess teleported her back.
Her child, Ottar seeing the state of his Goddess, did all he could to kill that Goddess, even if it meant breaking the Greatest taboo, but with her will, his all bones were broken, and his nervous system below his head completely burned and he was left to scream in agonizing pain. She was helpless, again at the losing side, and laughed at her misery.
" To think I thought I was invincible for once", she muttered with tears running down her cheek, as her eyes meet the Goddess' cold gaze. " I don't know which Supreme Deity you might be- but I beg of you... Just once... Just in my last moments please let me see my Odr", she begged, and the Goddess' eyes shockingly softened.
" I will give you a chance to repent, to change your miserable destiny but it won't be easy", the Goddess offered. Freya didn't know whether she was speaking a lie or the truth, but she accepted, and had to feel the pain of her entire body burning as it formed anew. Her previous one, the filthy one burned alongside her soul. Only her soul Nucleus was spared, and she was awake the entire time experiencing the horrifying pain or her soul burning and crumbling down.
She thought she was reduced to a plaything again, but once the process had completed, she was born anew, her powers greatly surpassing her formed self as she became the Goddess of Time and Fate ascending to a Supreme Deity. She couldn't believe it, she had ascended, to a realm so great that she could kill the thousand Odins over.
" You have passed... rejoice your filthy self has received a chance to be with him. Now, all I want is for you take over the world, both Tenkai and Genkai... And you will have a part of him", the Goddess said as she intended to teleport," Please wait! C-can I know of his name, and ju-st who are you?", Freya asked with trembling lips," His name... You will have to know it for yourself, as for myself? I am but a mere servant", she said and vanished.
It had happened, she had seen his Odr, and now had the chance to rule over all that had given her pain and suffering. Just the thought of seeing all Gods and haughty Goddesses groveling at her feet as she laid in the arms of her Odr gave her a joy. " Goddess", Ottar said now healed, looking at his Goddess, he had decided he would help her, at every cost.
That's why, he was in the Dungeon fighting against Balor with all of his life, and even as he emerged victorious he didn't stopped. He knew he wouldn't recieve his Goddess' love, he knew she waited for someone else, but it didn't falter him. Unlike others, Freya was mother to him, and he wanted to do all to make her happy, and if it meant rebelling against the world, he would become strong enough to do so.
Therefore he ventured further, even as he was battered, and once he had slayed all the Dragons of the 58th floor did he fall down. Hogni who was sent by the Goddess to look for him, looked at with a conflicted look and asked," So tell me, what's the matter? Goddess is behaving weirdly and so are you", the Elf's face showed that he wouldn't accept a 'No'.
Normally Ottar would have ignored him, but now his life laid on his hands, thus he gave an ambigious answer," Matter? For Goddess Nothing matters now, she wants something, so I would pave the way for her, even if it costs my life", he replied. " Is it that White haired brat? Goddess did have taken a liking to him", Hogni said with jealousy filled in his voice.
" Haha, him? An artificial hero is none of her interest now, her eyes are only upon the Greatest Darkness", said Ottar, Hogni frowned, while he wanted more answers, he knew it was Goddess' personal matter so with regret he carried the battered Ottar back to his familia and when his status was updated, did it shock everyone. " You did it Ottar", said Freya with joy and he nodded," Ye-Yes, Goddess", he replied as he looked at his status.
