Bab 278: Chapter 271: Idiot Fight
(Perspective ?)
Everything is a mess...
I'm enjoying a quiet life in human society and I don't want to get involved in supernatural troubles, but if what I heard is true, then the world is about to turn into chaos...
When Zeus decided to join Alaya's side to overthrow Gaia, I knew that everything would be a disaster.
I don't dislike humans and personally enjoy coexisting with them, but Zeus is different. Ever since the Age of Humanity began, he has been jealous of the freedom that only humans can enjoy in this world administered by Alaya.
Although I always knew that it was only a matter of time before Zeus did something stupid, I never imagined that he would go totally crazy...
Due to the information I heard, I had to leave my peaceful life to go to one of the most troublesome countries for deities, China.
The conflicts between deities and cultivators go back thousands of years so I don't want to be here, but I have no choice, I need to prevent Zeus from getting the pieces he needs for his plan.
To start, I need to find the new Hades. I don't know what Zeus wants from my late husband's reincarnation, but it won't be a good thing.
This is supposed to be an easy task since the current Hades doesn't know how to control his divinity so in the worst case I can kidnap him to take him to a safe place, but a big problem appeared.
I heard rumors that one of the most horrifying creatures to have invaded this world appeared, an Outer God...
I witnessed when Daoloth almost caused the apocalypse. I saw Yog-Sothoth destroying various deities. I witnessed the destructive depravity of Shub-Niggurath...
I still have nightmares about the horrors caused by the Outer Gods so I don't want to be near this country, but I have no choice.
Not only Hades is defenseless in this country, a few seconds ago I felt the presence of Cerberus's younger brother.
I have to see the condition of that puppy to help him before Zeus tries to capture him for his plans or he will start a disaster that threatens to destroy this world.
Orthus must be less than 20 human years old, so he must not have recovered his memories and power yet, so I need to get him out of this country before someone captures him to use him in cruel experiments, that puppy has suffered too much and deserves a peaceful life with his family.
The problem is that if I can sense Orthus's presence, then other entities can also feel it so it will be dangerous to go to his location...
I don't know what to do.
With concern, I looked at the girl next to me and I couldn't contain my sigh, she felt the presence of her little brother.
"Do you want to go find him?" – I gently asked the girl I adopted when my husband was still alive.
"I don't want to cause problems for Lady Aphrodite" - The girl looked down.
The girl has a calm face, but we've been together so long that I can see when she's anxious.
I smiled tenderly at how cute this little girl is. – "You care a lot about your brother so we can see how he is, we will only help him if he is in trouble"
"Many thanks" - Cerberus bowed politely.
I took out a magic bag and took out my most precious treasure, the Helmet of Hades, a divine treasure capable of hiding all traces of presence, even Zeus won't be able to notice me if I wear this.
I extended my hand to Cerberus. – "Let's go see your brother"
Cerberus nodded and took my hand.
When I put on the helmet, our bodies were covered with a transparent veil that perfectly concealed our presence.
This brings back nostalgic memories with Hades…
I'm staying in a luxury hotel since my identity in the human world is that of a Hollywood celebrity so we exited through the balcony and I used my divinity to rush to Orthus's location.
I frowned as we were about to reach the cub's location as Chinese government agents were guarding a Mirror Dimension.
Are we too late?
I looked at Cerberus who had started to tremble.
"Did you bring your muzzle?" – I asked with concern.
"…" – Cerberus nodded and took out a steel muzzle to cover her mouth.
Her body stopped shaking and the murderous desire rising in her eyes calmed.
The destructive impulses of this poor girl worsened after the death of her brother...
I hope Orthus is fine or I don't think I can stop this girl if she loses control.
With the stealth of the Hades Helmet, we managed to enter the Mirror Dimension without alerting the government.
I prepared myself for a tough battle, but all I found was a strange scene.
Two young men under the age of 20 were signing documents provided by a group of government agents.
"Do you promise not to cause trouble?" – An older man asked one of the boys with a tired expression.
"I just want a friendly fight" - The boy smiled innocently, he almost looked like a child.
The man sighed and looked at the other boy who had an annoyed expression. – "Sorry about this, boy"
"Whatever" - The bitter boy sighed with exasperation. – "At least I can hit this asshole"
"Hahahaha, your attitude reminds me of Toji Fushiguro" – The childish boy seemed to enjoy himself.
I don't understand what is happening...
The childish boy is the one who emits the presence of Orthus while the other boy appears to be a Hero.
What made me breathe a sigh of relief is that the government agents don't seem interested in capturing the puppy and it even seems that some agents have a good relationship with him.
"Look, your brother is fine" - I smiled and patted Cerberus's head. – "For now we are just going to observe or we could get him into trouble"
Cerberus nodded.
I approached a woman who seems to have affectionate feelings for Orthus.
I gently pressed my finger to her forehead being careful not to break the sigil of the Helm of Hades and used my divinity to understand what was happening.
Although my divinity cannot explore all memories as Hypnos and Morpheus do, I can still see some memories stored in people's hearts as long as they are emotions related to any type of love such as friendship or romance.
The woman's name is Cai Ning, a special agent from an elite squad focused on preventing supernatural disasters in China.
Although she used to have the mission of keeping an eye on the new Hades, she is now in charge of contacting a powerful individual called the Harem King.
Orthus used to be a lovable puppy who only enjoyed eating, fighting, and sleeping, but now he has become a perverted womanizer just like Zeus and Poseidon...
The boy isn't handsome like Adonis, but looks aren't everything, especially in bed...
"Lady Aphrodite..." - Cerberus looked at me blankly, she knows me too well.
"Ahem, sorry, in the past I was interested in your brother's resistance, but that puppy only had eyes for his mother" - I smiled awkwardly.
Cerberus sighed. – "Lady Aphrodite, please do not mention that woman…"
Sometimes I wonder why all beings related to Olympus have family problems...
I finished checking the situation through the woman's memories.
Apparently, the bitter boy is a Hero and has a good friendship with a general named Lin Zhiguo.
The Hero contacted the general as a monster had endangered two of his mistresses and the general provided him with a safe place.
The problem began when Orthus arrived at the refuge where Hero and his two lovers were.
According to government reports, the women's father tried to make a marriage agreement to marry his daughters to Orthus, but both women already have a man they love.
This caused the Hero and Orthus to get into an argument that almost started a fight, but the government agents managed to calm down both impulsive boys.
Fortunately, Orthus is not Poseidon's equal and does not have the nasty fetish of raping women into violent submission. The puppy was willing to give up the sisters on one condition, the Hero must fight him.
Although the current Orthus is much calmer and more pleasant than in the past, he retains his love for fighting.
The government agents negotiated with the Hero as they want to have a good relationship with Orthus and in the end, the Hero agreed to fight for a reward, also the fight will be a friendly match so there is no risk of dying.
What I find hard to believe is that Orthus supposedly fought with the Outer God that has been stalking this country.
If that's true then I can't let Zeus capture the puppy.
I have one of several contracts that control the soul of Orthus. I don't want to use this since that puppy is too cute, but I'll have to use it if the kid doesn't want to come with me to safety.
For now, I will have to watch the fight.
If Orthus ends up hurt then I'll capture him and escape to get him to safety. In case the puppy is too strong, Cerberus will be able to help me subdue her little brother.
"Your brother is going to fight, but don't get angry, it's just a friendly battle and you know that your brother loves this kind of game" - I spoke softly and used my divinity to make Cerberus' heart calm down, she is too impulsive when it comes to her brother.
Cerberus nodded and kept her gaze on the Hero.
I had to take out a leash and put it around Cerberus's neck or she will try to destroy the Hero's soul as soon as the fight starts.
Both boys stood in the center of the Mirror Dimension. The government put a decent effort into making this battlefield, the robustness of the spatial energies that protect this Dimension is almost on par with high-quality Pocket Dimensions which is impressive.
The Hero's arms were covered with black bandages while leather gloves covered his hands.
Although I'm not very knowledgeable in item crafting, I can tell that those gloves are not inferior to Hephaestus' creations. Very surprising.
…
What's that?!
My heart almost stopped when chains covered the Hero's arms and a pair of strange short swords appeared in his hands.
Just looking at those swords makes my body tremble with terror, it's as if they were weapons designed to kill gods...
I don't like that hero.
Orthus, if you hit that boy I'll give you a nice reward for seven nights!
"Lady Aphrodite..." - Cerberus looked at me with contempt.
"Stop reading my expressions" - I sighed. – "You were prettier when you only thought with your fists and stomach"
Cerberus blushed. – "Lady Aphrodite, please do not mention my shameful past…"
This girl is so cute~
"Oh, a good weapon" - Orthus smiled with amusement and extended his hand. – "My turn~ Zanpakutō Nozarashi!"
Although Orthus is wearing a cultivator's costume, the weapon he drew was a worn Japanese sword.
Although Echidna taught her children how to use human forms, Orthus only knew how to fight in his dog form so this is the first time I've seen him use a weapon.
"Do not disappoint me!" – Orthus shouted excitedly and rushed towards the Hero.
Orthus had impressive speed and almost seemed to have used a space jump, but the Hero's reflexes were also amazing.
The Hero pretended to block the attack, but at the last second, he took a step to the right as he crouched down and from a low stance attempted to cut Orthus's waist.
Orthus' speed was superior to the Hero and he was able to block the attack, but his poor posture left his stomach unprotected so the Hero took advantage of it to kick the puppy's abdomen.
Orthus backed up a couple of meters, but he didn't have time to recover his posture as the Hero attacked again.
The Hero threw a sword at Orthus's face. Although the puppy managed to block the attack, this time he left his legs unprotected as the Hero tried to cut his knees.
"¡Pika Pika no Mi!" – Orthus's body turned into light particles which moved around to evade the attack.
"Ugh, that was dangerous~" – Orthus appeared several meters away with a cheerful smile.
This child is so adorable when he starts to play, but there is something that bothers me.
Among the Four Dogs of the Apocalypse, Orthus had the strongest body, but outside of the ability to destroy souls, he had no other abilities so it shouldn't be possible for him to turn into light particles...
Something is not right.
"I admit you outmatch me in close combat and that's depressing" – Orthus shrugged and his sword disappeared. – "Well, I'm a sore loser so let's make this exciting~"
"Do you ever shut your mouth?" – The Hero grunted with annoyance. – "Stop saying stupid things and fight"
That Hero is as bad-tempered as Ares.
Hit him Orthus!
"Since you insist" – Orthus smiled and his right eye turned into a pentagram emitting magical light. – "Alpha Stigma!"
Around Orthus appeared dozens of magic circles that began to invoke all kinds of magic to attack the Hero.
"Magic Explosion!...Storm from Heaven! TSharknado 8: Revenge of the Zombie Space Shark!... Glacier of Despair!... Totally Cliche Fireball!... Magical Explosion of Magical Loli!" – Orthus was casting all kinds of random spells, the silly puppy doesn't know how to strategize and is just attacking with brute force… he's so cute.
Even though Orthus was casting incompatible spells without synergy, the destructive force in those spells was a dangerous thing.
I didn't know Orthus had a talent for magic. I should have had Medea teach the puppy magic, too bad.
The barrage of magic was impressive and it showed that while Orthus doesn't know about combat strategies, he does have a great knowledge of magic as he is using magic formulas and they are not just empty skills, in fact, I think he designed some of those spells himself.
The puppy became impressive after being reborn, but what made me frown is that the Hero can't be underestimated either.
That boy was not only able to predict each attack to evade it, he even managed to close the distance to attack Orthus.
The Hero was about to attack Orthus, but the puppy smiled excitedly. – "Bazinga~"
Orthus hadn't used spells carelessly, it was all a trap to set up magical mines which exploded in the Hero's face.
"Ganbatte otouto!" – Cerberus yelled in Japanese.
"Did you stay up all night watching cartoons again?" - I smiled ironically.
"It's called anime" – Cerberus regained her calm. - "It is entertaining"
"Well, maybe you can watch anime with your little brother when we take him with us" - I patted her head.
Cerberus seemed happy with the idea. Among all of her family, she only gets along with Orthus, though that's because she was always in love with the puppy.
Since I started living among humans I realized that incest is not well seen among most humans, but beings like us are not at risk of genetic malformations so it doesn't matter.
"That was it?" – Orthus sighed seeing the cloud of humor that covered the Hero.
The Hero wasn't that impressive...
Huh? What is this feeling?
Orthus also felt something strange so he extended his hand to generate a familiar-looking shield. – "Rho Aias!"
Where did the puppy get that artifact?!
No, it's a copy… There's definitely something wrong with the puppy.
Out of the smoke came two golden bullets which destroyed the shield and almost hit Orthus's face if it wasn't for the puppy quickly evading them.
More bullets were fired from the smoke as Orthus backed away.
Out of the smoke came the Hero, but he was no longer holding the two nasty swords, but something like a silver musket.
"Lord Archon, into your hands I commend my soul, let your servant eliminate sinners with the power of light…" – The Hero seemed to pray as he aimed his musket at Orthus.
Those bullets have a power similar to the late biblical god, but at the same time they are a totally different power, it feels like something higher…
One moment.
Hero from another world...
A higher form of divine energy…
It can't be... That Hero is a servant of the Higher Entities external to Gaia...
For centuries I have stayed away from supernatural matters so I don't know what our world's current relationship with other worlds is like, but if I'm not mistaken, Western Heaven has some relationships with a group called Paradise...
I'm not sure, but I think that Paradise is a group that fights for humans and beings with Positive Karma so they should be allies of our world.
Maybe if I talk to that Hero I can get help to stop Zeus, but it's too dangerous to involve other worlds, for starters, Zeus's insanity is supposed to have been started by the actions of entities from other worlds.
Ah, how complicated, I wish Athena was alive to help me come up with a plan, I'm bad at these things.
"Hey, wait! It's cheating to use weapons from Higher Entities!" – Orthus screamed in panic as he dodged the shots.
"The system user said it" - The Hero spoke with disgust and continued shooting.
System user?
Orthus is a system user?!
Oh, my Uranus…
Well, that explains the puppy's inexplicable new skills.
"Waa, that almost hit me in the knee! I don't want to stop being a warrior!" – Orthus evaded the shots with ease, the pup is just playing.
The Hero put the rifle on his back and this time a heavy barrel appeared in his hands.
"How many toys did those idealistic pigeons give you?! Damn pay-to-win!" – Orthus screamed in panic and drew a short sword.
"Damnit, just shut up and die!" – The Hero was fed up with the puppy's games and fired the cannon with holy energy.
A great beam of light attacked Orthus.
I felt anxious since that attack was very dangerous. I was about to rush to protect the puppy, but the puppy's smile made me feel relieved.
Orthus made a slow horizontal slash. – "Full Counter~"
The beam of light was redirected and attacked the Hero.
"Son of…!" – The Hero cursed and jumped to the side to avoid the attack.
Orthus sheathed his short sword and hurried over to the Hero to strike him in the face. – "Ora!"
The Hero seems to specialize in close combat so he managed to deflect the blow, but Orthus seemed to have expected this as his other fist moved at high speed and managed to hit the Hero's face.
"Ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora...!" – I lost count of how many punches the puppy threw.
The Hero fell backward. His face had been almost crushed by the force of the blows and although he was still alive, it wouldn't be strange if he was left in a coma for a couple of years.
"That was fun~" - Orthus stretched out his arms as if he had just finished exercising.
The puppy is very strong, but not strong enough… I need to protect him.
"…" – The Hero moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but his jaw is almost destroyed so he can't speak.
"Hm? What do you say?" – Orthus approached the Hero to hear what he said…
Oh no! It's a trap!
The Hero grabbed Orthus's hair and his fist was covered with a strong energy that swirled around his arm. – "GIGA DRILL BREAK!"
I didn't have time to help Orthus, the Hero's fist had hit the cub's face causing the ground to tremble, and even cracks were formed in space...
That punch... It's comparable to Poseidon's strength...
Orthus!
The puppy was thrown until his body hit the barrier that bounded this Mirror Dimension.
I held tight to Cerberus' leash, she was fighting it to go kill the Hero...
Even though that blow could even destroy the body of a deity, the Hero seems to have held back as at the last moment he didn't allow the spinning energy to pierce Orthus's head...
It seems that this Hero knows how to respect the rules of non-mortal combat.
In the Hero's hand appeared a bottle with a red liquid. Although his mouth was almost shattered, he drank the bottle and his wounds recovered quickly, then he took out a bottle with blue liquid, and drinking it seemed that his magical energy had also recovered.
Although the Hero was healthy again, it is clear that he is very tired. It seems those potions can't heal mental fatigue and pain.
That doesn't matter, I looked at Orthus and sighed in relief to see that the puppy was still conscious, although something in his expression is making me uncomfortable.
"Heh… hehe… Hahahahahaha! This is exciting!" - Orthus yelled with excitement and an intoxicated look.
… Oh no, Orthus became a masochist…
I prefer to be on the submissive side so this is not good.
"Lady Aphrodite…"
"Stop guessing my intentions!" – I spoke with exasperation and continued watching the fight.
"What are you laughing at idiot?" – The Hero spoke with annoyance and again took out the swords that seemed designed to kill gods… What unpleasant weapons.
"Ah, this is too… funny…" – Orthus had a big smile. – "Hey, let's play more often~"
"…" – The Hero had an expressionless look. - "Asshole"
"Oh, what a cruel look~" – Orthus seemed happier and happier. – "Okay, let's finish this, I'll take one last hit~"
The Hero frowned.
Orthus casually approached the Hero, it really seemed like the cub would just give a casual punch in a friendly way.
Huh? – "What's up Cerberus?"
Cerberus's instincts are comparable to high-level premonition skills so something bad must be happening...
Now I understood, Orthus is not a helpless puppy, he is a real predator...
Orthus stopped two meters in front of the Hero. – "Don't die~"
"Wait! Stop you fucking idiot!" – The Hero seemed to sense what was about to happen.
Orthus clenched his fist. – "Serious series! Serious Punch!"
"FUCKING IDIOT! Mercy of Auriel, protect your believer!" – The Hero did not evade the attack, but extended his arms and summoned a golden barrier.
The golden barrier did not block Orthus's blow but instead absorbed the blow to redirect it skyward.
The Hero put all of his efforts into deflecting the blow, although his body didn't seem to be able to withstand the force of the blow.
A strong current of air shook the entire Mirror Dimension.
The humans overseeing this fight had been sheltered behind powerful barriers, but the wind pressure was so strong that the barriers shattered like brittle porcelain.
Cerberus managed to withstand the wind pressure so the stealth of the Helm of Hades was not disabled, but the same was not true of other entities.
Besides me, there were other hidden entities watching this fight.
I recognized a few gods and was relieved not to see any other Olympian gods, it seems that Zeus couldn't send other gods to kidnap the new Hades and Orthus.
I looked at the ceiling of the Mirror Dimension and was shocked to notice that the barrier had a huge hole in it.
That punch had no magic or divinity, it was just a brute force punch, but it was still far superior to the physical strength of colossal titans like Atlas… Not even Zeus's fist has this strength…
By Uranus… How strong did the puppy get?!
If it wasn't for the Hero blocking most of the impact, then that blow would not only have destroyed the entire Mirror Dimension, but at least half of China would have disappeared...
Through the hole in the barrier, I can see the sky of the real world… The clouds were totally erased which could cause a drought.
Now the government will have to fake a natural disaster to hide the environmental phenomenon that Orthus has just caused.
Oh right, is the hero still alive?
If he survived that attack then he can already be considered one of the most talented heroes in human history, not even Heracles and Achilles could survive that blow. As for a God, our bodies would be destroyed, but we could be resurrected with time.
Oh look at that, the Hero is still alive, even though he no longer has arms.
"Oops, I got carried away… Teehee~" – Orthus smiled sheepishly.
The Hero was sitting on the ground with a look of resentment. - "Idiot….."
"Oh come on, don't be bitter" – Orthus approached the Hero. – "Come, let me heal you~"
"Don't touch me idiot…" – The Hero had a disgusted expression, but he couldn't move.
"Come on, don't be a tsundere, we're friends now so let me help you~" - Orthus had a mocking smile, although something worries me.
As a goddess of love, I can see the emotions in the puppy's eyes and I can tell that he doesn't feel a simple friendship towards the Hero.
I think the current Orthus learned of bisexuality from Zeus.
Well, it doesn't bother me, a threesome with the strong pup and the energetic Hero would be exciting… As for the Hero's tastes, that's not my problem, I just want to see the puppy happy.
I miss Hades, but that fool decided to destroy all his consciousness so that new Hades will never be like my late husband so I have to get on with my life, and the puppy doesn't seem like a bad option...
"Lady Aphrodite!"
"Okay, don't look at me like that" - I sighed. – "You can join us"
"..." - Cerberus looked away with shame and shyness.
I smiled. – "Don't you want?~"
"…" – Cerberus covered her face. – "I just want to be with my brother…"
What a lovely girl~
"Damn it, leave me alone!" – The Hero looks like a grumpy boy.
It's actually kind of cute when he's not using those horrible swords.
"Soten Kisshun~ Look, you have arms again ~" – Orthus smiled as he held the Hero's head so he wouldn't move.
Maybe I got hasty ideas, instead of romantic interest it seems that both are brothers...
Well, never mind, now that I've found the puppy I'll keep an eye on him and find an opportunity for us to talk.
It seems that Orthus is no longer a temperamental puppy who only thinks about his mother so maybe I can explain to him the danger he is in, anyway, he is quite strong and can help me stop Zeus.
On the other hand, that Hero is kind of cute…
I've been single since Hades died so maybe I'm lonely.
The constant talk about the beauty of marriage made me appreciate marriage and I have almost no interest in an irresponsible sex life with multiple orgies anymore… Damn you Hera.
I must order my priorities, first I must prevent the world from being destroyed, and then I will look for a new husband.
Secondly…
I looked at the location where one of the entities that were spying on this fight had been.
Tongtian Jiaozhu.
I thought that the Jade King had blocked the paths to the mortal world so that the deities of this region would not get involved with humans.
I have a feeling this will bring more trouble.
I want to return to my peaceful life… Damn you Hera.
