[DC] Chapter 83: Amaterasu's thoughts. (Patreon)

"My Queen, why are you doing all this?" Hachiman questioned Amaterasu.
If another god had asked the same question to Amaterasu, the queen goddess of the Shinto pantheon, would have already killed that god and removed his divinity for such boldness. After all, no one should question the authority of the queen in the Shinto pantheon. But, the one who asked the question is Hachiman, a god who was always the protector of Amaterasu, and she trusts him a lot. Because of that, she doesn't mind talking.
"Didn't you feel that pressure?" Amaterasu spoke as he walked towards the balcony of the Olympian palace.
Hachiman nods. "I have never felt such pressure in my existence." He felt quite powerless in the face of Rao's strength, he has confidence in defeating him if several gods are gathered, but the damage would be very great.
"You are right ... Rao carries the burden of two pantheons on his body, and he plans to add more weight to that burden. He is a God who has a great goal; while he talked about his goals, I could clearly see those goals taking shape in the future ... He is a god who will not stop walking until he has achieved all his goals. ”
"Unlike Darkside, he is not a total tyrant; he is willing to negotiate and talk, you just can't go beyond a certain limit. I think in the future Rao will become a third force in the universe." She was putting a lot of expectations on Rao.
“In the future, we will have three great forces in the universe: we will have the tyrant empire of Darkside, the empire of Izaya, the heavenly father, and we will have Rao's empire. ” Amaterasu explained.
Hachiman opened his mouth a little, he had never seen Amaterasu speak so well of any being in his entire existence.
She stops on the balcony of Olympus and steps in the 'air', then she starts walking towards her army.
“I do not enter the Darkside empire for obvious reasons, he is crazy. Izaya's empire is very well established and I see no way to grow in this empire without becoming the wife of that grumpy old man, and my spies said that Izaya has some contact with Darkside. The last information I got is that Izaya sent one of his children to the Darkseid empire, and so did Darkseid, the tyrant sent some of his children to the Izaya empire ... I'll be honest, I don't like this interaction. ” Amaterasu spoke in a disgusted tone.
"Taking into account the future, Rao is the best option: he is young, he is fearless, he is strong, and he is wise." She displays a loving smile under the fan. "He's the perfect husband."
Hachiman nods, now he understands his queen's goals: "Because of that, do you want to become the first wife?"
She looks at Mount Olympus briefly. "Yes, the first wife will receive everything from Rao, she is the most important authority in this empire; I need to be the first wife, and my pride would not allow me to be the second wife." She spoke in an extremely serious tone.
...
Rao's main base.
In the prison that was made especially for Ares is now a facility being used as a training base for Kryptonians.
"How's Kryptonian training going, General Zod?" Rao asked through a hologram.
"My Lord, training is progressing well." General Zod spoke while looking at a hologram where it showed a group of Kryptonians training.
Rao, who was seated on the throne of Olympus, looked at Zod through the hologram and asked, "Any soldiers worthy of attention?"
"Litha Tob-Lan, the queen's disciple is certainly talented, she reminds me of Faora when she was younger." Zod sends a recording of Litha training for Rao.
Rao opens the recording and displays an amused smile: "Oh?"
The recording showed Litha fighting five Kryptonians who were being bathed in sunlight, Rao soon realized that the five Kryptonians are confused by the new senses, but Litha has surprisingly managed to get used to her new powers quickly.
"Is my wife's training working?" Rao spoke aloud, he can see that Litha is becoming a cruel warrior; she attacked only the soldiers' weak points.
"What is the status of these five soldiers?" Rao asked.
"All the soldiers are fine, they recovered easily when they were bathed in sunlight."
"I see." Rao understood that the soldiers' injuries were not so severe that they needed to use a regeneration chamber.
"Surprisingly, the Kryptonian who is always with the Martian is standing out in training, despite the fact that her progress does not compare with Litha's." Zod sent another recording.
Rao accepts the recording and opens it, soon he sees a woman with long blond hair fighting with several training robots. 'Kar Jov-Al, she's a little clumsy, but she's getting stronger. '
“What about my shield? How is your training progressing? ” Rao asked curiously.
"Non, huh?" Zod looked at a hologram and saw a Kryptonian fighting several robots and soldiers at the same time, General Zod said nothing, he just shared in real-time what was going on.
Rao opens the hologram he received from General Zod. "He's overloading himself, it looks like the war I fought affected him a lot, huh?"
"Yes, he blames himself for not being at your side in this war ... In fact, all Kryptonians on this ship think the same as Non." Zod commented.
Rao shows a small smile: "... I want you not to interrupt Non's training; if he falls into exhaustion, you can use the regeneration chamber."
"Yes, My Lord." Zod answers.
Rao turns off the hologram and looks at Zod: "General Zod, how is your training progressing?" He smiled a little: "I have known you for a long time, do I have assurance to say that you have mastered your powers?"
Zod showed a small smile, but he didn't say anything; he didn't need to say anything. After all, they were disciple and teacher, the two knew each other very well.
"Good, keep up the good training, I want you to be the second strongest being in my empire." Rao spoke.
“Oh? And who would be the strongest beings in your empire? " Zod asked curiously.
"Me and my wife of course." Rao laughed, and added: "With Litha's talent, I don't doubt that she will become the second strongest woman in my empire, if you don't pay attention, you will lose your post." He played a little. "But you are my master, you must aim to become stronger than me."
"After all, the disciple must always have a teacher stronger than himself, right?" He showed a small smile.
"This is a big goal, but ... I fear that I will never be stronger than you, considering, you are a genetically modified freak." He showed a small smile.
"Hahahahaha, I can be genetically superior, I can be a god, but with hard work, you can overcome me, right?" He spoke, and added in a serious tone: “Work hard, Dru-Zod. You have to be strong enough to at least take a punch with all my strength in my divine form; you have to be strong enough to fight an entire pantheon of gods alone. ” For a moment Rao's eyes flashed red.
General Zod smiles: "That is a big challenge, but ... I accept this challenge." He spoke of determination as his eyes shone red.
Rao showed a big smile when he saw Zod's attitude. 'Get stronger, Zod. When you are at the level that can challenge the gods, I will give you a gift that will change your life. '
Without General Zod knowing, his destiny has undergone a major change, a change that will impact a lot on all beings in the universe.
