章節 551: Godly Guests

Serafall and Cordelia were getting worried because they had already been in the room for more than double Kisuke's stipulated time. However, it's not like they can just barge in since it may cause more complications than actually help.

Just as they were about to lose their patience, Kisuke and Dylan finally got out of the room and the latter was already dressed up with his former attire, "Darling... How was it?" Cordelia and Serafall immediately approached them.

Dylan didn't say anything immediately and instead looked at Kisuke for a moment before smiling, "This brat really did it. Not just a simple check-up, but he also went ahead and cured it for me."

The girls' eyes widened and extreme happiness overcame them, "Really!? Yaay!" Serafall opened her arms and was about to hug Kisuke out of appreciation. However, just as she was about to do so, she suddenly felt both of her parents' stares and became very conscious of her actions. So instead, she turned to her father without pause and hugged him, "Yaay!!!"

But instead of being glad of this change of heart, Dylan and Cordelia were instead even more surprised. Serafall was their daughter and even if they don't really like her antics, they knew her well. Serafall, if she was happy about something she would cling onto someone she's fairly close with without thinking about it.

Dylan and Cordelia only stared at her actions as a form of reprimand and also as a form of light teasing. Nevertheless, they didn't expect Serafall would suddenly become conscious of her usual actions.

While looking down at his smiling daughter, Dylan suddenly snapped his head towards Kisuke and declared with a glare, "I'll never give you Serafall!"

Of course, Kisuke and Serafall were dumbfounded, "Uhmm... It seems there's a bit of misunderstanding. I'm going out with your other daughter, Sona-chan, not Serafall-sama."

"That's right, dad... What are you talking about?"

"Nothing... I'm just reminding him."

On the side, Cordelia only chuckled, "Kisuke-kun, however may we pay this debt to you?"

"Please don't think about it anymore. Just you approving my relationship with Sona is more than enough." replied Kisuke as he looked at his wristwatch, "I'm sorry, but I cannot entertain you any longer as I need to do something else."

Dylan fixed his clothes and said, "It's fine. We already bothered you long enough. I have to return now for further examinations. Let's meet again some other time." He then faced Cordelia and Serafall, "Let's go."

"I'd like to stay longer. I need to discuss something with Ki-tan," replied Serafall.

Seeing her serious demeanor, Dylan nodded, "Alright. We'll go first. Once again, I thank you for your efforts, Kisuke Urahara. I'll make sure that your 'cure' won't be misused."

"You're very much welcome~. And if you are planning to release this to the public, please don't add my name to it. We wouldn't like unnecessary complications and I don't really like fame either. I'm just a pursuer of knowledge and nothing more."

Dylan closed his eyes and answered, "I see. I'll take note of that. Well then, goodbye." He and Cordelia then teleported away.

"Well then, when are they willing to meet up?" Kisuke disrobed his lab coat and put on his shihakusho as he asked Serafall.

"Athena told me that she'd like to meet you as soon as possible. Not just that, she wanted you to meet another person, though she didn't reveal the identity of her companion," replied Serafall.

Kisuke nodded, "Alright. Please send them the coordinates of this place in ten minutes. I'd meet them now."

"You did say that you already planned to abandon this place, but are you sure? This is your only base of operation, right?"

"Right. That's why I already took some steps to make another base and in just a few minutes, I can already start making that base in earnest."

"But this next base is still in the Dimensional Gap, right? Then isn't it a bit counterintuitive to create another when there isn't much advantage to gain? I think this will be just a useless effort."

"I know, but it isn't going to be in the Dimensional Gap. It's the most secure location for most people, but I happen to know a better one so I'm going with that."

"Hmmm... I see. But you have to invite me over! That's a must!"

"Of course~! Anything for my sister-in-law~!"

"Don't call me that! At least defeat Sirzechs-chan before calling me that!" hollered Serafall.

"Got it. I'll work hard, Sera-tan~."

"Umu!" Serafall nodded in satisfaction. However, deep inside, she was surprised at how much she didn't like the 'sister-in-law' call and thought, 'It's really hard to let go of my dear cute little sister, even if it's to Ki-tan.'

Half an hour later, a teleportation circle in the middle of the hideout emerged and Kisuke and Serafall got ready. A few seconds later, two cloaked figures appeared and walked out of the magic circle.

"Welcome, guests. I hope you don't mind the reception here," Kisuke greeted them.

The taller one of the two stepped out and removed the hood of her cloak, revealing the familiar wavy-black-haired beauty, Athena, "It's been a while, Kisuke Urahara. I didn't want us to meet like this, but the situation is urgent. Thank you for having us."

Unlike her former bossy attitude, Athena mellowed out and gave proper respect to Kisuke. At this point, she didn't see him as an enemy anymore but a 'savior' and potential comrade.

Kisuke smiled at her and replied, "It's a pleasure to have you here." He then looked towards her still cloaked companion. As his eyes landed on her, she shook but immediately stopped. However, the fear emanating from her is obvious to everyone.

Seeing this, Athena spoke up, "Kisuke Urahara... About her..." But Kisuke raised his hand to stop her, "Please just call me Kisuke."

Kisuke stepped forward and started walking towards the figure behind Athena. Noticing this, the figure visibly shook again and tried to hide behind Athena. Thanks to this and the somehow familiar aura she's emitting, Kisuke figured out the identity of Athena's companion, "I didn't expect to meet you again. Nyx-san, was it? Welcome to my humble abode."

Without much choice, the shorter figure removed her hood, showing her long black hair, pointy ears, and childish face. However, contrary to her cheerful demeanor that Kisuke remembered, Nyx right now was very haggard and had eyes full of fear, "G-good day to you... K-Kisuke Urahara," replied Nyx with a shaking voice.

If it was a normal opponent that defeated her, she would have honorably admitted her defeat with a satisfied smile. However, the Kisuke she met that day not just almost instantly killed her, but also gave her quite a bit of trauma. It already took her every bit of courage just to appear in front of him.

"Please follow me. Seeing you two here, it looks like it'll be a long discussion. Let's talk over some tea." Kisuke invited them inside his lodging.

章節 552: Athena and Nyx

Once they all sat down, Kisuke started, "Let's not beat around the bush since it'll just lengthen your stay here, which I assume isn't something your companion wants."

Athena looked towards Nyx who was still looking down, avoiding eye contact with Kisuke, and nodded, "There are two main points I wanted to discuss. The first point is your assistance in exchange for information."

Kisuke didn't react in any particular way but asked, "And the second one?"

Athena looked straight into his eyes and answered, "A potential cooperation between us."

"Understood," Kisuke then closed his eyes for a moment to think about her words. A minute later, he looked at Athena and replied, "Very well. What would you like my assistance with? And what information could I get in exchange?"

Athena sighed in relief. As they were previously enemies, she didn't know if Kisuke would even listen to her proposal, "Hades's poison... I assume you already knew about it since you already ran into him."

Kisuke furrowed his brows, "What about it?"

"Removal of such poison in exchange for the information we have," replied Athena.

"You? Or is it someone else? Maybe both?" a string of questions came from Kisuke.

"For now, just two individuals. Me and my father," answered Athena.

'For now, huh? Looks like that's where the second point comes in...' While thinking that, Kisuke continued, "Your father. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it Zeus?"

"Correct. I want you to remove the poison within me and my father, Zeus. Once you've done so on me, I'll impart you the information we promised."

"Just you, huh... I see that your father's safety is still connected to the second point. Makes me even more motivated to back out from this."

Athena gritted her teeth but she couldn't deny Kisuke's words, "Please at least listen to what happened. After you've decided to cure the poison within me, I'll tell you why Hades and his accomplice targetted you in the first place. I do hope that you'd want to know the motive behind their actions and why they targeted you specifically."

Kisuke became silent for a moment before sighing, "Please go on."

However, before Athena continued, she looked in Serafall's direction. She directly ignored the little girl's existence beside her. Not that she didn't want to acknowledge her, but she didn't want to think about her and since the little girl was staying quiet, Athena wouldn't shake the hornet's nest.

"I trust her, so it's fine," added Kisuke.

Athena nodded at him and told him the current state of Olympus.

More than a month ago, Apollo suddenly threatened Zeus to surrender his position to him. Of course, Zeus didn't agree and intended to punish him for this. However, Apollo suddenly displayed his trump card and instantly killed several minor Gods through some unknown means.

He then revealed later that he already implanted poison into everyone who was not his accomplice, a poison that could easily kill even a powerful God if properly applied. Since Apollo didn't reveal anyone who assisted him in his endeavor to implant poison into every potential enemy, it means that they don't know who has it or not.

However, he did name three people who are poisoned. Zeus himself, his daughter, and his wife, Hera. At that time, Athena was still recovering from the injuries she incurred fighting Kisuke. Due to Athena not saying anything due to the 'agreement' she had with Kisuke, Zeus mistook it as Athena discovering something regarding Apollo and him silencing her through his poison.

As he didn't want to endanger his beloved daughter and wife, Zeus agreed to Apollo's demands and imprisoned him somewhere in Olympus. As an explanation, Apollo told everyone that he was in bad health due to his age and several Gods with medical knowledge agreed with him. Because of that, everyone has no choice but to believe him.

It was also around this time that the rumor regarding the 'poison' spread to everyone, but since no one knew who had been poisoned, no one could make their move to verify this in fear of death.

At this point, it wasn't a secret that Apollo was the one pulling the strings from behind after he told everyone sometime later that no one is allowed to talk about the 'poison' to outsiders or it'll automatically activate. In addition to that, Apollo added a restriction that no one is allowed to leave Olympus without permission or the same thing will happen.

Of course, it was not like no one stood up against him as some Gods tried to save Zeus from his captivation. However, the 'poison' isn't just some rumor that Apollo created to threaten everyone, but a real threat to a Gods' life. In hindsight, those Gods became his guinea pig to confirm his claims.

As of now, the whole Olympus is under Apollo's control along with his unknown accomplices.

"So that's the reason why Olympus has such a weird atmosphere recently." Serafall muttered.

"And? How were you able to escape? You did say that there's a restriction on everyone's movements." asked Kisuke.

"First, please allow me to talk about it," Athena suddenly requested.

While Serafall and Nyx were making confused expressions, Kisuke's eyes slightly widened in realization, 'I see... So that's how it is.' Nodding at her, Kisuke agreed to her request, "You may."

Athena sighed in relief and continued, "The poison you gave me with Ophis' power, the first shackle that was placed on me was able to keep Hades' poison from activating."

Hearing this, Nyx reacted, "W-what? The poison that he gave you? Shackle?"

Athena nodded, "Indeed. The reason I got injured is not that it was part of Apollo's plan, but because I went against Kisuke Urahara and lost. In exchange for him not taking my life, he made me eat the poison that was made from Ophis' power. This poison, although much simpler than Hades' poison, is similar to it as it also targets the Divine Core and Soul directly and I had no way of removing it. But as long as I don't disclose anything that happened between us to anyone, it won't do anything to me."

All this time, Nyx didn't have any idea why Athena intended to ask for Kisuke's help and she only came with her because she didn't have much of a choice to begin with.

Serafall, on the other hand, looked at Kisuke and said, "I don't know if you're kind or ruthless."

"I'm definitely the latter if need be," replied Kisuke, "Though because of that, she got lucky."

Serafall tilted her head in confusion, "Lucky?"

Athena, on one hand, smiled and nodded, "You're correct. Thanks to this poison, the poison that was planted in me without my notice was kept at bay."

"Since I knew that the situation was already hopeless unless something was done, I took a gamble and trusted Ophis' snake which is around my Divine Core. Thankfully, I'm lucky enough to win that gamble."

"The moment I stepped out of Olympus, I immediately felt two forces collide in the vicinity of my Divine Core, and a short while later, it disappeared. However, even after that, I can still feel the poison that Kisuke gave me. So I figured that each of them just backed off."

"So you want me to remove the poison that you don't know when it will be activated..." muttered Kisuke.

Editors:

28th00: I was right, Phis-chama is so scary you gotta pretend she doesn't exist. Apollo is being used as a front by Hades, I assume? I don't know what's going on, but I do know the poison vs poison thing. Funny enough, a filler arc in Bleach used this concept with Soifon's poison overwriting the other poison, so she just stabbed herself since hers was an instant kill, no debilitating symptoms or effects, just gotta stab the same spot twice for it to activate.
