Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1047 Counterattack part 2

"...W-why do you have Freya's Divine Core?" Hephaestus asked nervously as just seeing it in Kisuke's hand physically hurt her. Only when Freya fused with it was she able to let out a breath of relief.

"Well, things happened."

"Things happened, you say... You don't get to hold something that could be crushed in one hand and instantly kill its owner with just some things happening."

The others watched Freya as she was engulfed with pink light and Divine Aura started exiting her body. As a Deity's Divine Avatar is something that holds its Divine Core, anything that holds its Divine Core is considered a Divine Avatar. And with the Heaven's System the only restriction right now is bringing down their Divine Avatars thanks to Chaos' machinations, once in the Lower World, the system's influence over them became almost nonexistent.

Freya didn't wait and spread out her Divine Aura containing her power as a Goddess of Love, filling Hestia's barrier with her own color. Thankfully, she kept Kisuke's words in mind and just took over the children's minds and overpower Chaos' influence just enough before immediately dispelling her power so that they wouldn't lose their minds over her.

Soon enough, lights returned to everyone's eyes and as if just waking up from a bad dream, they started panting for air, "W-what just happened...?" Lefiya asked herself, still distraught and confused.

Though before the pink aura disappeared, it visibly concentrated on Kisuke which shocked the other Gods as they knew how dangerous that was.

Freya just wanted to tease and test him, but even after increasing the intensity of her 'Charm', Kisuke's expression didn't even change, and became disappointed.

"Kisuke puts the most importance on the integrity of his mind so he has a lot of defenses against abilities and things that can influence it," Yoruichi explained while grinning at her.

Freya finally completely dispelled her 'Charm' and turned her attention back to the children while pouting.

"Welcome back, everyone." Kisuke greeted them and they all looked at him with fear-filled eyes, "I know you all want to rest and relax but we don't have any time for that, for obvious reasons. All of you need to fight and there will be no exceptions. Well, you technically also have the choice of running away but you'd need to dig deep and stay in that hole for as long as the war lasts."

"I have the same opinion as Loki," Odin also spoke up, "But we could also invite a few trustworthy people to our side."

A full-blown discussion started among the Gods but the problem of numbers isn't going to go anywhere as they are now.

Kisuke let them talk to each other and turned to Riveria, "I'll leave the others to you. Thankfully, you have experience teaching at the Ouroboros Academy. Just teach them what you think will be useful."

Riveria nodded and she already had an idea of what to teach everyone, 'For top fighters, defensive techniques since what they need is to survive to protect the others. For the rest, ritual-type Magic to cover the lack of offense and simple but broader defense.'

"Well then, I have nothing else to do here for now it seems. I'll go rest now."

"Wait." Astarte grabbed his sleeve, "Are you really going to leave us like this?"

"As much as I would like to, I have nothing to offer in your conversation. It's your world so you know much more about where to get people so I'll leave it to you guys."

Astarte wanted to ask further questions but Kisuke stopped her by sending her a mental message, [And obviously, I have my own hidden cards that I can't reveal to everyone. After all, it's not just the risk of bringing in a traitor that is the problem, but a traitor already existing in this group.]

Astarte froze and let go of Kisuke.

Kisuke didn't say it out loud because he didn't need an unnecessary divide within their current group, 'If there's really one, then I have to bring out my ace as late as possible. In the next three days, I would have to focus on finding that guy.'

But despite their current standing, he couldn't help but get excited at the surprises he prepared for everyone as if he was preparing some pranks.
