章節 188: Trapped and Defeated

Kisuke caught the sword but it didn't remove the force behind it. Half of the colosseum was totally destroyed after that swing and the boundary of the space rippled intensely like it is on the verge of being destroyed. Some of the Perseus Clan members are also killed after that attack, 'Ah... Crap. They'll all end up dying if they stay here further.'

Kisuke then hurriedly tossed out a token to where they are and it activated a barrier around them. Instantly after, Kisuke remotely activated Descorrer and opened a pathway to the Dimensional Gap beside them. The opening sucked all of them, removing them from this battle. He noticed that Athena still wasn't able to react so Kisuke strengthened the space temporarily while at it so that it can take the beating of their battle.

Athena is only blankly staring at him as he does all these things. Her mind became chaotic after he caught her sword with ease. That attack is far from the strongest attack she could do, but she also hasn't met anyone that could catch her sword and never thought that there would be one. She thought that even if it's the Great Red, there would be a nick on its scales after that kind of attack, "...What are... you?"

After voicing her question out, Athena recovered a little bit and felt very stupid to just stop in front of such an enemy that could take her life, "Guh!!" She tried to retrieve her sword but his grip is too strong that she can't even move the sword. She promptly discarded the sword to retreat but she saw that his other hand is coming for her. Putting up her shield, Athena planned to bash away his clawed hand, but it spectacularly failed as Kisuke's hand went through the shield breaking it into pieces. Athena is finally scared and tried to retreat further but his hand reached out and grabbed her pretty face.

Kisuke then threw her to the other side of the colosseum with great strength that Athena instantly broke through the sound barrier. But just half-way through the colosseum, Kisuke reappeared on top of her and did a roundhouse kick. Athena crossed her arms and focused on everything she had for defense. The kick hit her and it instantly broke the bones in her arms into pieces. Her armor was dented inwardly and she broke most of her rib bone, some of them puncturing her internal organs. Athena hit the ground and created a large explosion and crater. No one would ever think that a colosseum existed in here as it was reduced to fine rubbles.

Athena cough out blood and felt her head ringing. She wasn't able to think straight and only saw her monster enemy preparing for another attack. Kisuke charged a small Cero and blasted her with it. That Cero just left her on the verge of death.

Kisuke slowly descended and picked up Athena by the neck while she's still coughing out blood and her bloody body just hanging. Raising her up, Kisuke figured that she won't be able to fight any longer and dispelled his Hollowfication. The bone helmet disintegrated into dust and his body returned to normal after a few seconds including the large hole in his chest.

Kisuke heaved a large sigh. He's feeling a little bit weakened because Medusa's ordeal and his Hollowfication took a large chunk off his reserves, 'Currently, my reserves are only as much as Ichigo's so I shouldn't push myself too much before I can improve my capacity.'

"...What are you doing? Why did you stop?" Athena noticed that his aura subsided and looked down from above. He could have killed her instantly but now she has a chance to escape. She secretly propelled her remaining power to activate a Magic that she could use in times like this.

"I'll have more advantages with you alive than dead," Kisuke answered her with a smile.

"Hoh? What do you want?" Athena sneered at him, 'I only need to buy a few seconds and I'm out of here.'

"A just a couple of questions, including what I ask earlier."

"No way I'm answering any of your questions. Just kill me. Though if you do that, the stigma will be branded onto you and other Olympian Gods would easily find you. It's technically declaring war to the whole Greek Pantheon. I know you're strong, but you can't fight an army of gods by just yourself."

"And you think I'll have it better if I just release you?"

"Of course not."

"Then what do you propose we should do?"

"Let me go and return Medusa to me. And if you decided to work for me, I'll forget this ever happened. Naturally, I would have to bind you since I can't have you betraying me." Athena's magic is already ready and she could escape anytime now, but she saw an opportunity to negotiate with him and delayed her escape, 'It'll be a lot easier for me if he can just hand over Medusa and having him beside me will boost my forces. Now that the gods are getting restless due to some unknown feeling, I need to gather as much manpower as I need.'

"The second sound like a really good idea~!" Kisuke replied with a big grin. If those who know him were to see him right now, they would stay clear from him.

Athena was surprised that he readily agreed. The issue with Medusa can be solved later, so she decided to focus on acquiring his cooperation first, "Then..."

However, Kisuke cut her off and took out a black pill, "But it's going to be the other way around~."

Athena shuddered after seeing the pill. Although she doesn't know what it does, being so close to it, she yelps in surprise, "Ophis' power!? Why do you have something like that!?"

Athena then immediately retracted the thoughts of taking him as subordinate and activated her magic to escape. A golden light then enveloped her. The light pushed out which made Kisuke let go of Athena. After he was pushed out, a golden pillar then enclosed Athena while she slowly floated upwards, "I don't know what you just took out, but it looks dangerous. Too bad for you, I have a way to escape."

Kisuke took back the pill and punched the transparent pillar, but it only absorbed the force behind his attack, "It's useless. Even if you transform into your earlier form, you won't be able to destroy this barrier for a short period of time. In just a few seconds, I'll be teleported out of here." Confident of her trump card, she sneered at Kisuke once again, "You should have killed me earlier when you got a chance. The stigma that I'm talking about is just a deception to buy me some time to activate this magic. You could have got away with killing a god if you didn't get too greedy."

"Hmm... Is this powered by your Divinity? Amazing... It really works differently than Mana. Any normal means out there really won't be able to destroy this barrier." Kisuke admired it from afar, 'It's similar to Negación...'

"Hmmph! Praising me won't reduce the amount of headache you'll suffer later. Be prepared to take on the whole Greek Pantheon." Kisuke's air of casualness doesn't give Athena any good feeling. She could only leave such words and speed up the process of her teleportation, albeit, it was already too late.

Kisuke, with a grin, snapped his fingers and some of the dust lit up in red light. A few seconds later, the pillar of golden light disappeared and Athena dropped down back to the large crater, "What!?"

"Hehehe~"

"W-what did you do!?" Athena's confidence came crashing down along with her and the feeling of fear came back with greater effect. The tattered golden dame took a step back, but her body is still a mess with multiple bones broken so she fell down on her butt. Still, she tried to get away from Kisuke.

"Hehehe~. Nothing much~. I took consideration of the possibility that you would escape and prepared a cage for you~." Kisuke slowly walked towards her which induced more fear into Athena.

"P-prepare!? When did you..." Athen then remembered the red lights before her magic was dispelled. She then suddenly recalled one useless thing he did before entering the isolated space, he sent a number of non-lethal bombs inside, "I-it can't be... Those stink bombs!?"

"Bingo~! As expected of the Goddess of Wisdom! You guessed it correctly with just a single try!" Athena is right. Kisuke included some particles that could inhibit Divinity for a short time in the bombs.

章節 189: A Pill that turns (Almost) Anyone Obedient

"Bingo~! As expected of the Goddess of Wisdom! You guessed it correctly with just a single try!" Athena is right. Kisuke included some particles that could inhibit Divinity for a short time in the bombs.

These particles came from when he is researching about Medusa's Divinity. Although it did its job of inhibiting Athena's Divinity, it's only for a short amount of time. If she's also in her full strength she can easily bypass this inhibition and that's why Kisuke has to beat her up first. But then again, it's only in its early phase of research and still can be improved drastically, given enough time.

With that said, Kisuke is still cautious of what she can do despite her appearance so he only activated half of the Divinity inhibiting particles in anticipation of her doing it again. But looking at her panicked and fearful expression now, he doubts she still has a card in her sleeves. In fact, he's feeling a little guilty seeing her about to cry. But he won't ever let his guard down for an enemy, 'This is taking too long... I should be done with this or the chances of something going wrong will increase.'

Kisuke used Flash Step to instantly arrive in front of Athena, "Hih!! No! Don't come near me!"

'Hmm? What's up with her? Earlier she acts mature with a high and might attitude, but now things are dire, she's acting like a little girl?' Thinking for a bit, Kisuke thought that threatening her is more effective than forcing her to swallow the pill.

Kisuke smiled and said, "Now then, Athena-chan~. You have two options in front of you."

"A-Athena... chan...?" Athena muttered but she doesn't have any strength or courage to refute him.

"First is you die here..."

Athena audibly swallowed her saliva but it felt painful due to her injuries.

"And the second is you shallow this." Kisuke took out the black pill again.

She didn't want to die so her choice is obvious, but still couldn't take it without asking about it, "W-what is that going to do with me?"

"You'll know once you've done it. So? What is it? I don't have much time. If you don't choose within a few seconds, I'll default your choice to the first one~."

Gritting her teeth, Athena answered, "... I'll swallow it..."

"Good~! Now open up! Ahhh~."

Athena felt uncomfortable with his hand getting near her, but she doesn't have much choice, so she sucked it up, took the pill from his hand with her mouth and swallowed it. She waited for a few seconds but there was no reaction. Even after waiting for a minute or two, nothing happened, 'No response?'

Athena was about to ask about it when she suddenly felt pain, but not from her body. She hurriedly descended to her inner world and was shocked to see that her Divine Core, which is shining brightly until now, has a black snake with a white bone mask coiling around it, "What!?" She tried to grabbed it but her hands went through, though she can touch her own Divine Core. The snake is immaterial. She tried everything to destroy or even just move it but to no avail.

Figuring out that her attempts are futile, she hurriedly surfaced and shouted at Kisuke, "What did you do!?"

"Oh? It a success? Great. I thought that I would still need to do some adjustments, but I guess that snake did most of the small task."

"I'm asking you what did you do!" Although she's shouting with all her might, she still didn't have the courage to approach Kisuke.

"Right... It's effects haven't activated yet... So basically, it's something like this." Kisuke snapped his fingers again and Athena suddenly felt an unbearable pain and something constricting her. She hurriedly took a look at her Divine Core again and noticed that the snake is now trying to crush it, "No!!!"

"Well, something like that~." After saying this, the pain disappeared and the snake stopped constricting her Divine Core.

Athena panted heavily and thought, 'I'm doomed!' She almost wants to cry. She just handed over her life to him. But the light inside her still didn't disappear, 'I should ask father to remove this later.'

Guessing what she's thinking, Kisuke immediately warned her, "That snake won't be visible to anyone else and every time someone inspects your Divine Core, I'll also know about it. And if by chance that someone was able to find it they won't be able to do anything to it... Well, technically they can, but think of it as a password, one wrong input and it'll immediately self-destruct... along with your Core, that is."

Athena's mouth twitches at his words, "Y-you're joking... right?"

Kisuke grinned and replied, "Of course I am~! You're free to ask someone to remove it for you~!"

Athena knew he wasn't joking. Even though she doesn't know if it's really possible to do something like that with her Divine Core, she won't take chances as it is her life which is at stake here, "What do you want with me?"

Kisuke stood up and patted her pants, "Now, now. Don't make a face like that. I won't ask anything unreasonable. And that pill is only for insurance. I already said it. I only need you to answer a couple of questions."

"...Are you serious?" Athena didn't know what facial expression she should be doing now, 'Is my life only worth that much?'

"Yep~! And we can't talk to you like that." Kisuke put forward his hand towards her and cast a healing Kidou to repair some of her injuries.

Athena couldn't feel any ill intent from his technique and just let him be. She was surprised that he also knows an effective healing spell. She then unconsciously examine his spell and found something peculiar about it, "Wait... This doesn't use Mana... not Demonic or Holy... It's a bit similar to Ki... What's this!?"

Kisuke didn't answer her question and just kept healing for an hour until only the major injuries are left. Athena still felt pretty weak, but she can now move properly. She didn't thank Kisuke for the assistance though as she still views him as an enemy. However, she's pretty interested in his 'magic' that she wanted him to keep healing her. Thinking back, those energy blasts he used on her also doesn't use the conventional energy systems, 'Just who the hell is this guy? Where did he come from? I refuse to believe that he's human.'

"Alright, get up. You can heal up on your own later." Kisuke turned around and flattened a part of rubbles before taking out a table and few chairs. After that, he put out various plates of snacks along with several cups of tea. Kisuke sat down on one of the chairs and invited Athena to do the same.

Athena was confused but followed what he wanted regardless. She sat down and looked towards Kisuke, not touching the snacks or the tea in front of her.

Kisuke then donned his Hollow mask again which put Athena into the edge. He pointed his finger outward and used Descorrer to open a pathway towards the Dimensional Gap a few meters away from the table. The next moment, a wild gothic lolita suddenly ran out, sat down on Kisuke's lap and started attacking the snacks on the table.

Athena knew who she is and was surprised by her appearance, "Ophis!?" She thought that Kisuke is just someone who received Ophis' blessing, but it clear that it's more than that based on the way she acts around him.

A few more seconds, Yoruichi went through the pathway while carrying the unconscious Medusa wrapped in a white blanket. Kisuke pulled out a bed from his inventory and set it down a few feet away from the table. Yoruichi put her down on it and set a barrier around her. Yoruichi went back to the pathway and grabbed the token which is protecting the remaining members of the Perseus Clan and set it down randomly before sitting on a free chair herself and started drinking tea.

"Well then, Let's start this~."
