Gods were long lived beings who had existed for countless ages. After living for so long, many of them had grown bored with life itself and sought anything that could entertain them.
The worst among them, such as Loki, were so arrogant and self centered that they wouldn't hesitate to start a devastating war if it meant satisfying their own fun.
BOOM!
With a thunderous explosion, Fenrir landed on the ground beneath Loki.
The giant wolf slowly looked around, its eyes gleaming with savage fury as it searched for the man who had beaten it earlier.
"Sirzechs and the others are truly cowards. They actually sent a bunch of youngsters to fight me?" Loki said with a disdainful smile.
He then pointed a finger at the ten yanderes.
"In that case... let's play a game."
BOOM!!
A dense, light green beam shot from Loki's fingertip toward the girls, erupting into a massive explosion that sent shockwaves rippling across the battlefield.
Rias and the others hurriedly scattered, narrowly dodging the attack before hovering in the air and looking down at the scene below.
As the dust gradually settled, two new wolves emerged beside Fenrir. Though they were noticeably smaller than their father, they still radiated a ferocious aura.
"Those are Fenrir's children," Sona said the moment she saw them. "Hati and Skoll."
"Well, at least his children actually look like him, unlike Loki. Weird ass god," Aika clicked her tongue, her expression a mix of bewilderment and disgust. Fenrir was Loki's son... Did that guy actually fuck a giant she-wolf?
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky. From within it emerged a gigantic serpent like dragon. It resembled an Eastern dragon, its enormous body stretching for what seemed to be at least five hundred meters.
"That's Midgardsormr, Loki's son," Tsubaki stated solemnly. "One of the Five Dragon Kings."
"He really summoned so many legendary monsters."
"Oh, great... Did he fuck a dragon too?!" Aika exclaimed in shock, her pink glasses nearly slipping off the bridge of her nose.
If even a stupid Evil God like Loki was this fucked up, then what about the infamous shapeshifter Zeus, who was notorious for wanting to stick it into any and every hole he came across?
"As expected, all gods are weird ass bastards. Not a single one of them is normal!"
"Except Yu-sama!"
"This is probably an imitation created based on the Dragon King," Akeno narrowed her eyes as she sensed the aura emanating from the dragon. "It's much weaker than the real one."
The aura it emitted was nowhere near as strong as the one she had felt from Tannin before.
"Let the game begin."
Loki's lips twitched slightly after hearing Aika's comments, but he couldn't be bothered correcting her. Clapping his hands together, he flashed a cruel smile.
"First rule..."
"You all die."
Awoo!
Roaar!
With his declaration, all the beasts pounced toward the girls with devastating power. The one heading the charge was Fenrir. Its body was large, but its speed was not slow in the slightest. He shot into the air like a silver meteor before lunging straight at Rias, baring his massive fangs as he tried to tear her apart.
"Ohhh..." Murayama gripped her purple Sacred Gear, licked her lips, and grinned, "I've played this game before."
Ripp!
Space ripped apart beneath Fenrir's claws.
However, by the time the attack landed, Rias had already anticipated his movements. She soared higher into the sky, her devil wings beating powerfully.
Raising one hand, a crimson magic circle rapidly formed above her palm. In the next instant, a massive sphere of the Power of Destruction condensed within it, crackling with black lightning as it radiated terrifying, destructive energy.
With a downward swing of her arm, she launched the sphere of destruction straight at the giant wolf.
The ability to predict and anticipate an enemy's attacks was an incredibly broken power.
Nezha, the god from Chinese Taoist mythology, wasn't particularly well known for his pure strength. He was only around Satan Class in terms of power, yet many considered him an extremely troublesome opponent to fight. His ability to predict his enemies' movements made him a dangerous adversary even for Super Class Devils.
Observation Haki allowed its users to sense and predict their opponents' actions, making it possible to evade attacks before they were even launched. In a sense, it was an even more powerful version of Nezha's ability.
That was one of the main reasons Rias and the other girls were confident in taking on Fenrir, Loki, and their children... or grandchildren.
BOOMM!
The sphere crossed the distance in an instant.
This time, however, Fenrir had learned his lesson after the brutal beating Yusuke had given him earlier. Instead of taking the attack head on, he twisted his enormous body in midair, narrowly avoiding the sphere of destruction.
The crimson sphere slammed into the ground, erupting into a deafening explosion. Dust and debris shot into the sky, swallowing the battlefield.
When the dust finally settled, a gigantic, seemingly bottomless crater had been carved into the earth.
"Awoo!"
Fenrir let out a deafening howl as he relentlessly chased after Rias, his massive jaws opened wide, exposing rows of razor sharp fangs.
"Let me help you, Rias!"
Lightning crackled around Akeno as thick black storm clouds rapidly spread across the sky, as though a devastating thunderstorm were descending upon the battlefield.
The moment she pointed her finger at Fenrir, colossal pillars of lightning crashed down almost instantly, engulfing the giant wolf.
Rumble! Rumble!
One after another, more than ten bolts of Holy Lightning crashed from the storm clouds toward Fenrir.
"Grrr!!"
Fenrir was caught by the first bolt and let out a pained growl. Having learned from that mistake, he immediately began weaving through the barrage, twisting his enormous body left and right as bolt after bolt slammed into the ground around him.
The giant wolf grew increasingly irritated.
He was Fenrir, the God Devouring Wolf of Norse mythology, a monster feared by countless gods.
Yet now he was being driven back and forced to dodge attacks from a bunch of stupid mortals.
It was utterly insufferable!
It was unacceptable!
"Hyaa!"
On the other side of the battlefield, Xenovia and Irina were dealing with the two smaller wolves.
Brandishing the holy sword Durandal, Xenovia swung it down with all her might, sending a gigantic golden sword arc, tearing through the air toward Hati.
"Awoo!"
The golden sword energy slammed directly into the wolf, sending it flying like a cannonball before it crashed into a distant mountain with a deafening explosion.
A loud, pained howl echoed across the battlefield.
On the other side of the battlefield, Aika and Koneko were dealing with the fake Midgardsormr.
Since both of them use the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, they were the most suitable opponents to face a dragon. In fact, Dragon Slayers were the natural nemesis of dragons.
Aika was surprisingly quiet instead of her usual trash talking.
Blazing pink flames erupted around her as she stomped the ground. Fire exploded beneath her feet, launching her high into the air.
The moment she reached the fake dragon's head, she threw a devastating punch.
BOOM!
Pink flames exploded in every direction. The unfortunate clone of Midgardsormr let out a loud roar of agony as its enormous body bent downward, its head smashing violently into the ground.
Aika didn't stop there.
She immediately chased after the falling dragon, opened her mouth, and unleashed a Fire Dragon's Roar.
A raging torrent of pink flames engulfed the dragon, swallowing its entire body in a sea of fire.
When the flames finally faded, the fake Midgardsormr was gone.
Only a few charred fragments of its body remained scattered across the battlefield.
"She's taking this fight really seriously," Sona commented in surprise while helping Rias and Akeno fight Fenrir.
"Hmm. I was worried she'd screw up," Tsubaki replied as she raised both hands, summoning Mirror Alice to deflect an attack from Loki.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield...
"Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo..."
Aika cheerfully sang the song that had been stuck in her head and refused to leave.
"Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo..."
...
On the large screen, everyone watched as Hati sank his fangs into Xenovia's left arm, tearing it clean off.
However, Xenovia didn't even flinch.
Instead, she ruthlessly drove Durandal straight into the wolf's eye and violently twisted the blade.
"Awooo!!" A geyser of blood erupted from the ruined eye as Hati let out a deafening howl of agony. Thrashing around in pain, the giant wolf flung Xenovia high into the air.
Xenovia calmly performed a somersault before landing lightly on the ground.
Her left arm had been completely severed.
She merely glanced at the bloody stump; in the next instant, orange flames engulfed it. As the flames faded, a brand new arm had already regenerated in its place.
Gripping Durandal with both hands once more, Xenovia charged straight back at the wounded wolf without a moment's hesitation.
Watching the battle and seeing the girls repeatedly use the skill Immortality, Azazel suddenly became curious about something.
"Say, Yusuke," he asked, "do you have the ability to produce Phoenix Tears?"
His question immediately piqued the interest of the other faction leaders. Except for Serafall, who already owned the skill herself, they turned their attention toward Yusuke.
Not far away, Seekvaira and Rossweisse were equally curious. Anything related to Yusuke instantly caught their interest.
"Yes. I, and anyone who possesses the skill Immortality, can produce Phoenix Tears as long as they activate the special magic circle and perform the required ritual." At that moment, Yusuke was sitting with one hand propping up his chin. He shifted his gaze away from the screen toward Azazel and answered the question calmly.
Even though Griselda had reluctantly left Yusuke's lap and taken a seat beside him with the other yanderes, she wasn't particularly interested in talking to them.
In fact, as she watched the battle unfold on the large screen, she was secretly praying that Fenrir and Loki would kill a few of them and eliminate some of her rivals.
"As I thought," Azazel said with a thoughtful expression. His gaze moved toward Eleonora and Ravel, "If you started selling Phoenix Tears, wouldn't that affect House Phenex's profits and standing?"
Despite being only a marquess house, House Phenex enjoyed enormous prestige and influence throughout the Underworld, primarily because of its monopoly on Phoenix Tears. Capable of instantly healing nearly any injury, each tear was considered nothing less than an extra life. Demand had always vastly exceeded supply, and money alone was far from enough to purchase them.
If someone else suddenly gained the ability to produce Phoenix Tears as well, House Phenex's influence would inevitably be affected.
"Thank you for your concern, Governor of the Fallen Angels, but this doesn't concern you," Eleonora replied with a fake, dismissive smile.
The entire House of Phenex was already almost completely under her control. If Yusuke wanted everything it owned, she would hand it to him on a silver platter without a second thought.
As for the family's wealth, influence, or status...
To her, none of it was worth mentioning compared to him.
Not only her. All the yanderes were already more concerned with how to make their man, Yusuke Aoki, the one and only lord over the Underworld.
A mere noble house was not enough for them to take seriously. If Lord Phenex or his sons were stupid enough to resist, she, Eleonora, would be the first to eliminate them.
