Chapter 69: Unexpected meeting
A luxury cruise ship sails slowly aimlessly in the Pacific ocean.
Because he was planning to vacation on a cruise ship, Noah didn't have any definite destination and let the ship drift along the ocean currents from Japan to the Pacific Ocean.
Noah lay on a beach chair on the deck of the cruise ship wearing shorts with Erica and Kanata beside him feeding him various kinds of fruit and drinks while listening to songs.

boku wo kowagaranai de Ah
(Come here, by my side, I'm weak
Don't be shy, ah...)

(Birds that cannot fly dream of the sky
This united love is not red)
Doa wo tataku oto ni boku wa mimi wo fusaida

(I covered my ears from the sound of knocking on my door
Is that you knocking? Or someone else)
Will you leave just a KISS OF DEATH?

(Darling, destiny flows through my veins
It's like the world is starting to turn... love
I want to be one like no one else, Darling
So don't be shy, kiss me now)

(I want to feel you, I'm curious
But that's not something we can feel alone)

(Hugging each other will heal our wounds
So I'll suck your breath with my lips)
Will you leave just a KISS OF DEATH?
Darling kodou ga yubi no saki made

(Darling, when we unite, do you feel it
From my heartbeat to my fingertips? Hey...
Come here, by my side, I'm weak
So don't be shy, kiss me now, my darling)

(I felt something like the moments of death
Comes with your taste)
Did you leave me the KISS OF DEATH?
Darling unmei ga kekkan wo hashiru yo

(Darling, destiny flows through my veins
It's like the world is starting to turn... love
I want to be one like no one else, Darling
So don't be shy
Let me feel you, and kiss me now).
(Note: Kiss of Death song from Darling in the Franxx)
Looking at the vast and calm blue ocean, Noah felt a very comfortable feeling.
"What a rare peaceful atmosphere"
Noah said with a sigh.
"Ara... isn't it your own fault for always running around fighting against heretical gods?"
Kanata said while glaring at Noah.
"Ahaha..." Noah laughed embarrassedly, because it was his own fault.
"But what can I do, if I don't improve my strength, I can't face the King of end" Noah said helplessly.
"By the way, Noah, do you know where the King of end slept?" Erica asked curiously.
"He is currently in Japan, he is sleeping on an island floating in the sky," answered Noah.
"In the skies of Japan?" Erica asked in surprise.
"That's right, actually if it weren't for being bound by the goddess of fate, he would probably choose to die and return to mythology" said Noah while sighing thinking about the unfortunate fate borne by the King of end
"Back to mythology?" Kanata asked and Erica was surprised because she didn't expect that the final king who destroyed the god killer had a death wish
"That's right, he was tired from continuing to fight for these thousands of years, that's why he chose to sleep, if not because he would be woken up automatically when Campione appeared in large numbers, he would probably choose to sleep forever. He is different from the Another heretic god, his appearance will bring a terrible disaster to the earth, all the volcanoes in the world will be active when he wakes up, so the longer he wakes up, the bigger the disaster will be, that's why he doesn't want to wake up again and bring disaster to the world," continued Noah tells about the King of the End.
"By the way Noah, what are you going to do about that heretic god hiding in Japan?" Kanata asked curiously.
"Susanoo?, maybe I will kill him, however, I have a promise with Athena to kill the god of steel" Noah said lightly and didn't care as if it wasn't a god he was going to kill but an ordinary person without power.
On a remote island in the Pacific Ocean, the beautiful figure of a girl can be seen in the depths of the island.
The old girl had the appearance of 15-16 years old with silver hair, long eyelashes, and rosy cheeks. She was like the embodiment of a girl's beauty. However, her arms, legs and lower body are made of brass prostheses.
This girl is the heretical goddess Circe who escaped from prince Alec and hid on this island.
"After all this time, finally a hero has come," said Circe when she felt Noah's presence in the sea not far from the island.
Even though it was a Campione who came, Circe didn't care as long as that person could be her companion.
At the same time, Noah who was on the cruise ship felt his blood boil and his body immediately entered the optimal state for fighting.
"Huf... I just wanted to go on holiday but I accidentally met a heretical god inexplicably, I don't know if this was lucky or unlucky," said Noah as he stood up from his chair.
"Everyone, be prepared to meet a heretic god not far from here," Noah warned his woman.
"Heretical god?" X4
"I don't know if you're unlucky or lucky to meet a random heretic god here" Kanata said with a sinister smile.
After that, Noah's ship immediately changed direction and approached the island.
After Noah approached the island, he finally saw the appearance of the heretical god, a silver-haired girl with a yellowish prosthetic hand.
"Is she Circe?" Noah muttered when he saw the heretical god's appearance.
"Oh, hero, would you like to come over to my place for a moment? I will treat you well," said Circe in a seductive tone while moving her body in seductive movements while only using a little cloth to cover important parts.
"Sorry but I'm not interested, and don't think I don't know your true purpose," Noah said calmly.
After finding out her identity, he knew that while Circe might be serious about having her as a companion, that was secondary, the first being that she definitely wanted to steal some of the authority he had.
"Oh?, it seems you know who I am?, it's really embarrassing to have a stalker, but I don't mind" Circe said shyly.
But when he saw several women around Noah, his face became sullen.
"You guys step back, let me deal with it"
Seeing Circe's sullen face, Noah felt like she was going to attack, so warned his woman.
Listening to Noah's words, they withdrew from there while Noah jumped onto the island.
Seeing Noah jump towards her, Circe immediately activated her authority and summoned Cyclops.
After Cyclops appeared, he immediately summoned a black cloud with rumbling lightning before attacking Noah with lightning.
"Zayin"
Seeing the lightning approaching, Noah immediately stopped freezing the Cyclops' time along with his lightning attack before piercing the Cyclops' eye with a spear filled with the power of death.
Not long after being stabbed, Cyclops' spear immediately turned to ash and disappeared.
Seeing the Cyclops killed so easily Circe immediately summoned all the divine beasts she could summon and also Odyssus.
"I am the lord of the underworld and the lord of the dead! at my command come the immortal army and wipe out my enemies!"
Seeing the various Sacred beasts Noah immediately summoned the Undead army to deal with them.
As soon as the Undead army appeared they immediately fought with the holy beasts.
"O eternal sun, I beg you to send the chariot of dawn!"
After summoning the sacred beast, Circe did not stop and summoned the White Stallion from the authority stolen from Noah.
Seeing the White Stallion appear Noah wasn't surprised because he knew Circe could steal the heroes' authority with her authority.
It's just that even though it was a white stallion, it was weaker than Noah's, however, Circe was only able to steal a part of the authority. Even so, this was a powerful authority as one Circe could summon an army of divine beasts.
"I am the ruler of the underworld and the ruler of the dead! With my command, this world has become the underworld"
Seeing the white stallion approaching, Noah immediately dragged Circe and her sacred beasts to the underworld because he intended to conquer Circe and make her a subordinate god with the power of a contract.
"Toki Hami no Shiro"
"Zayin" "Bet"
Noah immediately absorbed the magical power of the sacred beasts before freezing their time and only leaving Circe with very slow time.
"Surrender to me Circe and I will spare your life" Noah said calmly as he approached Circe.
The Golden Sword immediately appeared in Noah's hand and cleaved Circe's authority leaving her powerless.
"Kill me and gain my authority, I do not need your mercy" said Circe without fear of death.
As a god, Circe certainly has her own arrogance and is not easy to submit to others.
Noah certainly wouldn't kill an earth mother goddess carelessly because this might cause Athena to be unhappy with him, however, Athena was the oldest earth mother goddess and queen so other earth goddesses of lower status could also be considered her followers.
Thinking about this Noah immediately contacted Athena, before they separated previously, they had left a way to contact each other, after all they were now allies, so it was natural to leave contact.
"Athena, I need your help to convince a heretic goddess to sign a contract with me, this will be more helpful in facing the goddess of fate later."
Noah said through special telepathy between them.
"I see, wait a moment" answered Athena briefly.
After waiting a while, Athena entered the underworld with Noah's permission.
"Oh? So the heretic goddess you are referring to is Circe? Are you sure you are not tempted by her beauty?" Athena said when she saw Circe.
"Of course not, I have Athena who is more beautiful than any goddess"
Noah said denying Athena's question and praising Athena's beauty.
Hearing Noah's praise, Athena smiled faintly, before walking towards Circe and persuading her to sign a contract with Noah.
Noah didn't know what Athena said to persuade Circe, but he didn't care, because as long as the contract was signed then Circe was his subordinate god and he couldn't harm her no matter what.
