[DC] Chapter 79: Amaterasu 2 (Patreon)
Content
Rao and Faora raise their eyebrows when they hear what Amaterasu said.
Slowly, a tense atmosphere started to form, the Greek gods quickly looked at Faora to see the reaction of the queen of Olympus. After all, a goddess just said she wanted to marry Rao. They hoped Faora was angry, that would be the best show they could see, but what they saw disappointed them.
Faora just looked at Amaterasu with the same cold eyes, she had no reaction to that news, she just raised her eyebrow a little surprised. But, her expression soon returned to normal.
"I'm curious ... Why do you want to marry me?" Rao asked in a neutral tone.
Amaterasu just smiled under the fan, then she started to tell a story:
“I was always the strongest, and I was always the supreme queen. I always solved all the problems that I had, and always had what I wanted;I just had to snap my fingers and my servants would bring what I wanted to me. ” She closes her fan and points at Rao. "But I never had a husband, all the gods I saw were not qualified to be my husband, but you ..."
She smiled proudly. "You are qualified."
"Oh?" Rao smiled.
"From the moment you stepped on Mount Olympus, I knew of your existence; an existence so powerful that it could challenge Mount Olympus alone ..." Amaterasu looked at the sword Rao was holding. "You had the help of a powerful artifact, but a powerful weapon in the hands of unskilled people, is just rubbish."
Rao showed a cold smile. "Didn't you say you were surprised to see me, because now you are saying that you already knew about me?"
"Did I say that?" She opened her fan and covered her face, which was showing a small smile.
Rao put the sword on his back and said with a neutral smile: “I already know what your intention is. But,before I agree with anything, I want to talk to you properly; we cannot have a negotiation at this location, right ? ”
Rao looked at the sky as he said this, his eyes narrowed for a moment.
"As expected of the man I agreed to be my husband." Amaterasu showed a small smile, and soon she said: "Susanoo."
Suddenly the clouds in the sky started to darken and the sounds of thunder can be heard, abruptly a muscular god was behind Amaterasu.
"My Queen." Susanoo bows in a gesture of respect.
"I want you to take care of the troops, always leave them in position." Amaterasu ordered while looking at Rao.
"Yes, my Queen." Susanoo replies, he looks at Rao and shows an arrogant smile, then he disappears with thunderous sounds.
Faora was unable to see anything, but Rao was able to see everything clearly. Slowly, a small smile formed on Rao's face. He was already able to understand Susanoo's personality, that arrogant smile delivered everything Rao needed to know, if he were to put it in a few words: Susanoo is an arrogant man who thinks he is the center of the universe, and the only person he respects is Amaterasu.
'He's a troublemaker, just like the tales said.' Rao thought.
"Hachiman." Amaterasu spoke.
The moment Amaterasu spoke the name of the god, Rao understood who that man was. The name of this god was Hachiman, the god of the bow and arrow, he was also the god of war of shinto mythology. But, unlike Ares who had a war domain that was more focused on conflict, Hachiman's war was more of a defensive war, it means that he is powerful when defending someone or a territory.
"Yes, my Queen." The man accompanying Amaterasu spoke in a respectful tone.
"Protect me." She ordered.
"Your wish is an order, My Queen."
Faora and Rao show a small smile when they hear Amaterasu's words:
“Why are you so worried? Don't you want to marry my husband? You should be more confident, right? ” Faora spoke in a neutral tone.
Amaterasu looks at Faora. "I am confident, but I am not a fool; I will not enter enemy territory without protection. And, I do not trust gods of the underworld." She flashed a cold smile.
"It seems like you have bad experiences with the gods of the underworld." Faora said with a small cold smile on her face.
"You have no idea." Amaterasu spoke in a cold tone.
Rao just observed the conflict with a neutral smile on his face.
...
Some hours later.
Rao's mother ship.
Zod was examining the video of Rao's fight with the gods.
Our king is powerful, wrong ... Our God is powerful, it seems that that experiment worked. Our little emperor managed to become our god, but ...
I looked at Rao's divine form.
This god, is he the little emperor I created, or is he the ancient Rao ...?
I cannot rule out the possibility that the two personalities will merge ... I think that only time will give me the answers I seek.
I look at my personal computer and see that there is a call from my king, I accept the call and get up.
Soon a hologram with the image of Rao appears in front of me.
"My King." I bow in respect.
"Zod, as you may know, the Shinto pantheon invaded Mount Olympus territory. Currently, I don't have enough forces or soldiers to fight an entire pantheon, I need to find a way to end this conflict through negotiations."
"Yes, My Lord." I say in a strong tone. "What are your orders?"
Rao shows a cold smile, a cruel smile, he looked like a demon who was planning something bad.
“Although this situation catches me a little off guard, we can still use some of my backup plans. I want all weapons of mass destruction focused on Japan, if a war happens between pantheons, we must weaken the power of the Shinto pantheon. ”
I wear a neutral smile, and say, "Your wish is an order, My King."
“Good. Depending on how the negotiations proceed, I will return to the mothership; I have spent a lot of time managing these gods and I still have to build my planet. ” He spoke seriously.
"Yes, My Lord."
