The death god look at at me, anger, excitement, and glee were all present within that glares of hers.
I look, back at what she said earlier, it didn't take a fool to understand what might have happen here.
It was obvious that some means of time travel was at play here, in short this was evident that I'm manipulating my own destiny.
Even as I speak, so it was obvious that I was meant to met the death god.
The reason of such meeting for now was beyond me, but one thing was clear.
This girl is a or will be key factor in my life in this world.
But as I glare at her, she clench her fist once more as she said with clear intentions to make me submit to her earlier request of wanting to read my mind to absolutely make sure I was the so called man descendant.
"Haha... boy your just making this harder on your self, let me have a peek and I promise I won't hurt you."
I scorn at her statement as respond as such.
"As if I will make some stranger peek into my memory, and besides you already tried and failed, what can you possibly do?"
"I just have to dig deeper as simple as that."
"Haha it doesn't matter how far you go it will just be the same, nobody and when I say nobody I mean nobody can enter my mind."
"So even if you beat me into a bloody mess you still won't be able to get any form of access from my mind, so your wasting both our time"
"hmmm.... could it be the work of a divine protection, tsk even with all the gods now dead, the inherent ability they pass down still lives on within OD Laguna will, truly even in Godless era they still find mean to make a portion of their power live on, how annoying."
Spoke death god as she glare at Subaru with an annoyed expression.
"Haaa... fine you win."
"Ha... just like that?"
I question her, rather surprised to her sudden change of heart.
"Yes, this isn't like the age of the gods were I use to be omnipotent in every sense of the word, but apart from that your mere existence is enough proof to prove your linage."
"I see, but what would you have even received even if you read my mind?"
"I just want information."
"I see, so am I free to go now right?"
I ask as I wanted to get to Felt, and negotiate with her and also save her life from whatever was trying to kill her in the first place.
But to my surprise she shook her head as she began to speak.
"No not yet."
"Ha why, don't tell me you were lying."
"No it is the opposite, as a matter fact I have proposal that you might like."
Upon this word I already have an idea what she was goin to say, but to avoid suspicion I just played dumb and said.
"And what might that be."
And when I said this, she smiled and walk closer to me and Introduce herself.
"My name is Prada Anuba, the former god of death, as I said earlier I once rule as an all powerful omnipotent death god, but due to some unfortunate circumstances, I loss my power but since you came I knew that you might be related to that man, so for that very reason I ask of you boy will you become my disciple."
"Ha... a death god you say."
"Yes, but things such as gods doesn't exist in this waste land anymore, so you can just refer to me with my mortal name."
"Which is?"
"Leona, the fist saint."
"The fist saint?"
"Yea, it's the moniker I am mostly known as in this day and age, you see I am retired saint class explorer."
"Retired, why?"
"Well by law one must retired from being an explorer after reaching 55 years of age, I have been one for 43 years, now a days I buy and sell antique for a living."
"I see."
"But enough of that, I want to know will you take my offer."
"For what reason do you want to train and teach me."
"No reason really, I simply taken an interest in you that's all, but if you accept my offer you will be the only one to learn my martial art, and sword play."
"I see, and what is your fighting style?"
"The name of my fighting style is called "The art of killing" it focus on killing the enemy with precise hits at their weak point."
"Basically assassination."
"More or less, but if you master it, killing gods or monsters at the level of gods will be child play."
"Is martial arts all you can do?"
"Well technically yes, like I said, I am far weaker than I was in my prime, the only ability I have left, is my mana capacity and control, along with a curse that makes me absolutely immortal, no matter what you do even erasing me from existence can't kill me, that and my summons which have different ability as well, and a trump card that I rather not reveal."
"Ok then, find I will take your offer."
"Haha... you made a good choice boy, let's shake on it."
Spoke Leona who raised her single remaining hand toward me.
Which I watch closely because I still didn't trust her completely, but she was still useful for both my mission and fighting capabilities hence the reason I accepted without question.
So I shook her hand, and upon doing that, a notification pop up Infront of me as it said.

And before I could even do or say anything, I was taken back by Leona voice as she said.
"Thier I have pass on a divine protection to you, this should allow you to train in the art of killing."
"So that's why you gave me a divine protection?"
"Pretty much, so tell me, what is your name?"
"Pleiades Pendragon."
I said trying to keep one alias.
"Pendragon you say, hmm why do I have a feeling that I heard that name from someone before... hmm... oh well it doesn't matter."
"Egh... I will just keep calling you boy it seems easier to remember."
"What the point of even asking me my name in the first place then."
"Thier is none but anyways, before you go their is something I want to give you, and by the way your living with me starting from today as well."
"Do I have a choice?"
"No."
"Yeah whatever."
"Well then with that said let me show you your new home."
"Speaking of new home were is this place."
"Oh yeah it called the revers side of the world were ancient phantasmal creatures reside all those monster are spiritual entities, in other words angel, in short this is the place many would call heaven, only spiritual entities can enter this place."
"So this is heaven how interesting."
"Anyways follow me."
After Leona said that she began Walking deeper into the giant forest, were I proceed to follow her for the next ten minutes, and right after at the center of the forest itself, a simple and humble cabin lied before my eyes.
I instantly look at Leona an ask.
"Is this were you live?"
"Yap, I been here after I killed all the gods of the old world so about 2000 years"
"I see, how ironic a god living in a cabin, now I have seen it all."
Leona look at me with annoyed look as she said.
"Well excused me for loving a simple life style."
But I didn't falter nor did I add Insult instead I simply said.
"No this is all right, although a little shocking but I think your home seem comfy enough for this king."
"King you said haha a delusional boy you are Indeed, anyways follow me inside."
With that said I followed Leona inside her home as she took a key and began opening her door.
And inside was rather fancy and comfy, she even had a bar.
I walk inside, still following her down a hall as she said while giving a tour.
"This is the washroom, this is the bar, this is the kitchen, this is my room never ever go in there never you hear me."
"Yes loud and clear."
"Good let continue."
--5 minutes later--
"That the stair way to the attic, that's the dining room, and finally down here is the underground torture chambers, your free to use it anytime you want."
"I see so we're will I be staying?"
"I only have a single bed room so you will have to live in the attic, sorry for the inconveniences."
"No it aright, the attic perfect."
"Good with that said help yourself to any alcohol beverage, you can also tour around yard but don't stray too far you might die by the angels that roam these lands."
From there Leona turn her back as she exit the door, but before she goes off I began to ask her.
"Say after you reunite with the Shinigami that did this to you, what are you going to do?"
She stop her motion, as she began thinking.
Upon asking this question, I carefully glare toward the death God, because this question of mine will determine how dangerous she would be to me in the future.
If I had to kill this girl to reach my ultimate goal despite my action of not only stealing her power but also [r.a.p.i.n.g] and cursing her for my satisfaction in the future well the past for unknown reasons
I would not hesitate even for a single moment to end her existence, because my enemies don't deserve mercy, my enemies don't deserve redemption, my enemies don't deserve anything from me.
I came into this world for a purpose, I don't have time to lament around doing nothing, I need an army for Christ's sake, and I'm not talking about an army of coward who fear death, nor am I talking about an army of pointless human clad in armor and equipped with swords to defend their worthless life.
No, it will defeat the whole cause of everything that I stand for in this world, because I'm not good nor am I evil, everything that I do, or everything that I will do, have a purposed and end goal, it for that very reason I say with the most outmost confident and arrogance.
I am free, I am strong, I am supreme, I am the honored one, because humanity as whole was built under the very fabric of a pecking order, human needs to cuddle up together like the mongrel they are to achieve further heifhi, but the same could be said for every other race as well.
It for that very reason I don't need companions who think the fucking power of friendship could fix everything.
This is reality not a fantasy, it for that very reason I need monsters, people who aren't afraid of death, or have a guilty conscience.
People who are ruthless and unforgiving, people who more evil than the very word itself people who follow orders without a second thought.
It's for that very reason I need to figure out the death god intentions.
So I glare at her, waiting patiently for her answer, she finally gave in as she said as such.
"Ha... who knows... I just want a rematch that will end in one of our lives, I hold no grudge just regrets, apart from that a successor sound nice."
This were the last words I heard before the door shut behind her.
--slam--
"Not a clear answer but for now, you just seem useful, so I will keep you around till your not useful anymore."
"Judging by the time its been 2 hours since I met Emilia an yet so much has happen, for now though, I think I will use all rights to power up myself more, because the mission it self say Felt was in danger, and I have feeling it's going to be a powerful opponent."
So with that said I began to activate my gate of existence and brought fort Tyche.
And once more I was taken back by her beauty, and so far, no woman in this world came close to it at all.
But having a god in another gods domain could be risky, so I wasted no time and began rolling all my right, and men were the spin too good for my crappy luck.
