บท 3: Chapter 2
===
Just like I stated in the previous chapter, since I don't know too much about what had happened in the past in Danmachii and mainly take information from recaps and the wiki, this Danmachii world will be an Au (Alternate Universe) which means that I will *slightly* change some plots. But of course, my changes won't disturb the canon.
Reader: "Why won't you just read the novel so you can avoid plot holes?"
Author: "A novel with 16+ volumes? *Tensura flashbacks*. No thanks, I love reading but I also get bored after reading for more than 15 hours."
Reader: "You lazy prick—"
Author: OKAY! Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 2: Shit.
Hearing a woman's voice, I immediately turned my head to see a figure of a woman with white long silky hair.
She's quite fair-skinned.
I analyzed a bit more and noticed that she had heterochromia, with her right eye being green while her left was gray
She's dressed in a dark goth-like dress that spanned all the way down to her feet. Around her neck, she had a necklace with green gemstone decorated. She also wore dark, semi-transparent gloves.
(A/N: I just checked the wiki, turns out that the author hadn't put any image of Hera. It just stated that she looks exactly like the captain of her familia, which is Alfia, the person I just mentioned. If you want a picture, check here →)
{Shit, I was too careless. Who is she? Looking at her condition, she seems to have no bruise at all, she's 100% a God. I should esca—}
Before I could ponder further, all my thought stopped and focused on the woman in front of me.
Somehow, it feels like we have a connection; not a connection like we have a connection of love or something like that. But instead, a connection that feels like she has something the exact opposite of me.
She squinted her eyes and looked at me disdainfully with slight disgust on her eyes
"You... Who are you? I can sense something similar to that of the divinity of gods in your body, but yours are completely different. It is full of maliciousness and endless hatred; like that of a monster's" She said before assuming a fighting stance, then continued "Who are you? If you don't answer me immediately, I shall commence attack."
Divinity? Maliciousness and endless hatred? Wait... She said she senses something inside my body... Could it be that she sensed the Juubi? No, that's impossible.
But... The person in front of me IS a god, so I may be underestimating her. I'm going to assume that she has great perception, for now.
The best course of action right now is to peacefully talk things out. But of course, if she won't listen, I have to retaliate.
{I just hope that she isn't some high-level good or something}
Holding both my hands up high, I looked in her direction
Ah shit, I forgot to hide my scaled arm
She noticed my arm and suddenly, I felt something changing in the pressure around me, like I'm being pressed by an invisible force. The ground below me started to crack.
Though, it did not bother me in the slightest
{Is this perhaps 'Killing intent' or 'Pressure' that I read about in the novels I've read?}
"Your arm... It looks exactly— no, it's the exact same copy as the One-eyes black dragon's scales" she then mumbled under her breath, though I could hear it clearly "You need to die"
After that, she disappeared from her previous location
Seeing this, I instinctively activate the Six paths senjutsu in a split second. My skin didn't turn white and no horns grew on my forehead, just like ROB said.
Nine black Magatama appeared around my neck forming a necklace. A black staff appeared in my hands and 8 Truth-seeking orbs appeared behind my back.
I look exactly like Juubito but with no horns and pale skin
Then, her figure once again appeared beside me and managed to throw a devastating blow, though four of my truth-seeking orbs blocked it. She then jumped back and made distance between us.
{I can't risk being hit by that kick of hers, I need to activate Obito's Mangekyō so I can at least dodge her attacks}
After pondering, I activated the Eternal Mangekyō of Obito
Suddenly, the woman's face tensed up once more, and looked at me, even more fiercer than before.
"This disturbing energy... It's coming directly from your eye... Wait..." She squinted her eyes and focused on the hole in my orange spiral mask.
Her eyes then turned frightened as if she has seen something that came directly out of her nightmares.
"Those eyes... I don't know what they are but they just made you my top priority to kill. But... I cannot defeat you with that strange powers you have shown just now."
After her speech, she disappeared yet again.
{Shit! She's calling for backup, isn't she?! She's definitely calling for Zeus! Should I leave or fight them? After all, collecting a part of a God using the {CHIMERA TECHNIQUE} doesn't sound too bad}
Suddenly, two blurry figures appeared once more. It was the woman with an old man. BUT OF COURSE! THAT'S ZEUS! That guy killed two monsters with his familia and the help of the Hera familia in what they considered this world as legendary beasts!
{Fuck... Should I escape now or—}
Yet again, my thoughts were interrupted as Zeus spoke
"You thought you sneaked past me without me noticing you, didn't you? Sorry to say but I noticed you even before coming near the black dragon's corpse. I was just busy attending Materia, so I wasn't able to pay attention to you" said Zeus with his eyebrows squinted together, he continued "At first, I was curious as to what you'll do with the dragon's corpse but seeing you use some strange method and copy its scales, I have to admit, I was impressed at first. But that impressed emotion disappeared after seeing you fight with Hera here" Zeus said as he patted Hera on the shoulder
{Hera? Hera! FUCK! IT WAS HERA WHO I WAS FIGHTING?!} I screamed internally. I just freaking fought the goddess Zeus teamed up with in the past to kill mythical creatures.
Now they're both in front of me! How do I even fight them?!
For a split second, I was sure I saw heart-shaped pupils in Hera's eyes after Zeus patted her shoulders, it then vanished immediately.
(A/N: So I did my research... And turns out, Hera is a yandere. Although some gods said that she's a psychopath. But it all leads to one thing— or a person, Zeus. Hermes even said that she's still tracking down Zeus in the canon after he left to raise Bell)
Ignoring what I just saw right now, I spoke to him with an indifferent voice
"Well, you are correct for me copying the Black Dragon's scales to my arms, but the lady beside you was the one who was hostile at me. I didn't even do anything wrong"
"Oh? You just admitted that you copied the very creature that devastated many lands and replace it on your body. Tell me, what are you going to do with it?" Zeus said with a surprisingly calm tone
"Nothing special. I just wish to live a little loner" I spew some bullshit.
"Live longer? What do you mean?" Zeus said while raising one eyebrow
Time to spew more bullshit.
"As I stated, I wish to live longer. And by any means necessary. And obtaining more strength is one of the means to live longer, is it not?"
"You are certainly correct. But how would I know if you would use your strength to harm the innocent?" This time, Zeus facial expression were dead-serious
"Harm the innocents? What will I gain from that? Will it increase my power? I doubt it." This time, what I said wasn't some random bullshit. I was serious. I mean, what would I gain from killing innocent people? Nothing, right?
Of course, there is Hidan's {JASHIN RITUAL}, and Kakuzu's {EARTH GRUDGE FEAR TECHNIQUE}, but I won't be using them any time soon. And I doubt I'll use them in the future (I think)
"How will I know that you are speaking the truth?" Asked Zeus
"..." I stayed silent. I seriously don't know how to answer that question. I mean, saying something like 'I promise' won't obviously work!
Seeing how silent I am, Zeus nodded his head and spoke to me
"Very well. How about this? I propose that we fight and whoever wins gets to ask a favor for the other. Is it a deal?" Asked Zeus
Oi oi oi oi, is this serious right now? I don't know if it's his confidence in his strength or arrogance, but I don't think I can even seriously injure this guy. He's a literal God for crying out loud.
{But... It won't hurt to try right? Wait, no it will hurt."
It's obvious what Zeus is planning here. If I lose, he'll ask me to cut off my arm and never appear near Orario ever, right? But what if I win? Obviously, I would ask him to leave me alone and pretend to have never seen me! This way, I can have the freedom to do whatever I want without any interference from any God!
But I'm serious. How am I supposed to injure this guy?
After pondering the pros and cons of Zeus' challenge, I replied to his request
"My answer to your proposal is..."
