Smile!" *Clicks And Flash*
""Cheers!!!""
After the gods all stood posing for a picture, they returned to partying within the Airship. The airship was originally meant for war, but it was redesigned for this party. All the gods are taking poses for personal pictures, some are looking outside while enjoying the experience of flying. But the powerful gods of Orario are secretly convening.
In a table surrounded by these powerful Familias, the present sit were Hermes, Dian Cecht, Ganesha, Freya, Loki, and Hephaestus.
"There's no doubt... They've turned themselves into monsters. Should we just ignore it?" Said Ganesha in dismay.
"The thing is, we can't, once the other gods catch on it, it will be a disaster for the world... There's no way the others will not ignore it. Especially mortals, once they taste this type of power... It will be chaos everywhere." Hermes said casually.
"What, you wanna go to war with people capable of building something like this? They might be monsters, but they're still "people". You should have seen their factories, they produce thousands of guns and millions of bullets in a single day. What else can they produce with such an industry? This airship might not be their greatest creation! Not talking about their other hidden "settlements", they are very proud of the place they call the "Capital" and "Holy See". We are just facing a part of their civilization!" Hephaestus said objectively.
"It's not like every one of them sees us favorably, the protesters outside the "council hall", were calling for our heads! "Death to Gods!" "Out with the Outsiders" they chant," Loki said before going to the council, the outside was filled with protests in the streets, The people of silent hill town aren't all silent, in fact, the opposite. They like to protest the most.
"I assure you, they aren't all bad, Hermes' new kid should be the proof of it. What was her name, Hermes?" Freya asked
"Owl... she's a good kid, but still... Once the power of this potion gets exposed to the outside world... What's the difference between being a dog for the Dungeon? They have betrayed humanity as a whole!" Hermes couldn't wrap his head around the fact mortals willingly throw their humanity when they can get the falna from gods.
"Bah! Who cares about what they are? You guys should have at least negotiated a better deal. They showed you some trinkets, and you became blinded. 100:1 valis to denars is too high. A single factory alone could dominate our market. Fools! A bunch of fools you are! Although this picture thing is kind of interesting," Dian said angrily while looking at his well-taken photograph.
"That too. By the way, Freya, you have been defending them for a while now. Do you know something?" Hermes probed. Freya didn't think it was a secret worth keeping and spilled it.
"I have met a few of "them" before in Orario," Freya said nonchalantly
""Oh? How was it? You knew them before they came outside?"
"Just a passing interest, they seem to like to make trouble on our turf. He calls himself Judas Iscariot."
"Oh! That thief who Loki likes? How long have they been lurking in Orario?"
"Oi, when did I say I like that baldy? And you, when did you meet him?" Loki said in protest but was ignored.
"Everyone knows about how you fell in love with a thief, stupid. Back to the topic, how long have they been in Orario?"
"I met him before you Loki. I don't know know...But I have a proposal for you all. This Laughing God surely has bad intentions and likes to move behind the scenes... We should deepen our cooperation in response to the new arrivals." Freya said
"What do you propose?" Ganesha asked
"We should create our secret organization, with us as the head. Our main purpose is to contain these "beyonders". All of us are equal, but we have to deepen our alliance. We simply can't compete with them alone while we're fighting each other."
"hoh~?" Loki said interested in this new organization.
"How about us..."
"Fight fire with fire, I like that idea, Freya."
The gods began discussing in detail how to combat the new threat, Finally, they decided on a name. Freya proposed again.
"For a name... How about... God's Redemption? After all, they need saving." Freya cheekily said.
And so, a secret organization designed to combat beyonders was founded.

As soon as the gods stepped into Silent Hill Town, Judas had already left. He already got his answer the moment they became enamored with the town he had created. He returned to Orario all excited. He will finally summon a messenger.
He began studying the ritual. After reading the guide. He created a ritualistic circle and started calling. Judas thought what his honorific name should be. He didn't want his name to be too grand or too shallow. He also didn't want it to connect to his Joker persona. After much thought, he decided.
"Spirit Wondering The World,
Special Creatures Friendly To Humans,
Those Who want to experience grand adventure, I call upon you in the name of;
Player Of The System and Chosen By The Original Creator:
The Thief Of Orario:
Performer Of Mysteries:
Harbinger Of A New Era:
The Great Pretender Judas Iscariot."
Suddenly the magic circle started lighting up. Judas could feel something stirring within, the air became hot and heavy, followed by a burst of flames that didn't burn. A Fiery tornado that contains a silhouette of a female human figure.
"Damn, why is it so cold here? Can I burn this place down?" - A tomboyish voice spoke.
Finally, the spectacle stops to reveal a female figure. It was a girl with golden puffy twin-tailed hair, she had two horns, and her eyes looked like flames. She was wearing some sort of white and orange robe that covered her upper body down to her upper thighs while holding a fiery staff.
"An interesting way of calling to my kind, luckily I was the first to arrive. Hehe, those Jackasses must be mad. You, blockhead that summoned me. This place is so cold, you should have summoned me somewhere fiery! You can call me Ifrit-sama! Hear that? Ifrit-sama." So the proud spirit said.
Judas felt his spirit was far different from the ones in LOTM. For example, this one was one hell of a chatterbox the moment he met her. So Judas unknowingly replied.
"Autistic?"
"You piece of shit! How dare you insult this great Ifrit-sama!?" Ifrit started throwing fireballs at Judas angrily
Of course, Judas dodged it easily, it seemed Judas had summoned a delicate and proudful lady. Well, it doesn't matter, she's here now. Finally, the lady stopped.
"So what do you humans want from this great spirit of fire? It's been so long since humans signed a contract with me. So what do you want." It seems she's a fire spirit, Judas made a mental note.
"Here's my contract, take a look at it first."
"Hey! Bonehead! It's supposed to be me who makes the contract, not the other way around! Are humans so stupid nowadays?"
"Calm down. Just look at it," Judas said.
"Fine!" Ifrit angrily snatched the parchment from Judas' hands.
Ifrit began reading, but the more she reads the angrier she got. Judas can see her hair slowly start turning into flames and her veins start popping. Judas expected her to burn the contract he made, but she just looked down angrily. Judas couldn't see her face but he knows she's mad. Growlingly she spoke.
"So, let me get this straight bonehead! Instead of asking to share the power of this great ifrit-sama. Gaining the ability to spread flames and fire infinitely and as much as you want without the need for mana. You want me... You want this great ifrit-sama, to run around the world, to be your personal, aide and messenger!?"
"Yes," Judas said in a straight face.
"You.Fu!@@#$@@$#!@@!#! Are you looking down on this great spirit of fire!?..." Ifrit started hurling insults at Judas.
Judas just shrugs it off. He expects to be rejected, he could just do it again and look for others. Judas cut her off.
"Since you reject, I guess I'll just ask for a diff-." Judas was suddenly cut off
"I'll do it!" Ifrit said with her eyes shining like stars.
"Okay, you can go back now... Wait what?" Judas was shocked, this woman might be mentally ill!
"I said I'll do it! Are your ears stupid too?" Ifrit is still excited at the premise of going around being a messenger.
"Uhhh... can I ask why the change of heart?" Judas confusedly asked.
"I'll be the first spirit contracted by a human! Isn't that interesting, it's supposed to be the other way around, but this is more fun than sharing powers!"
There might really be something wrong with the head of this girl, but at least she had the spirit.
"So what do you want in exchange for your service?"
"Food! I like Food the most! The great ifrit-sama must be rewarded with the tastiest meals!"
Hearing her answer, Judas realized this spirit was a foodie.
"Okay, it's food then. Please sign this contract."
"by the way bonehead, where are we?" Ifrit asked as she signed her contract excitedly.
"We're in Orario," Judas said absentmindedly.
"The Capital of the world is it? So far from home! There must be a lot of good food here!" She started whistling out of nowhere
Judas realized knew what she was implying.
"Fine, let's go eat some local dishes. I'll treat you to the best restaurant in Orario. Let's go to Hostess Of Fertility."
"Hehe, I could already tell bonehead, our business will be legendary!"
