–Kyoto, Earth DxD–

“Very good, Isane. You're up to three consecutive boosts!” Yasaka complimented her faction's newest recruit and her disciple. Isane Hyoudou turned out to be a very diligent girl…Of course, all her training was because of the girl’s dream. She was currently training with the girl in her private courtyard. Her daughter was just inside watching some TV.

“Three boosts is just the start! I won't stop until I become the strongest in the world and have a huge harem full of beautiful women!” Isane declared with a large grin on her face! Half of the grin was because she was blatantly staring at Yasaka’s large chest as she said that!

{I apologize for my partner of this generation…} The Red Dragon inside of her gauntlet said. He'd had some lustful hosts throughout the centuries, but none even close to this girl. While Draig could admit she had the motivation and determination to become very strong, he was also sure his terrifying reputation, that he’d built up over the centuries, was going to be utterly ruined by his latest host…

“It’s fine, Ddraig.” Yasaka was more than used to people blatantly staring at her chest. “Hmmm?” Yasaka turned to the side and felt the magical energy in the air shift.

A second later, a purple portal opened up in the middle of Yasaka’s courtyard. Such a phenomenon would have typically set the fox woman on high alert. That is, if she didn't recognize the unmistakable magical signature of Layla coming from the portal. Yasaka smiled when Layla stepped through the portal. She was followed by a teenage human girl and a teenage fox girl who looked like… “Kunou?” Yasaka asked in confusion. The fox girl looked just like her daughter, but slightly older.

The fox girl’s eyes lit up upon seeing Yasaka! “Mother! You're really alive! Tis a miracle!” She ran right up to Yasaka and gave her a big hug! Yasaka was taken aback, but just shrugged and hugged the girl back. She had accepted that being with Layla meant weirder things than this would probably happen from time to time.

Yasaka could hear the girl sniffling and crying into her bosom. Yasaka looked at Layla in confusion. “What exactly is going on here? And why are you covered in foul smelling blood?”

Layla rubbed the back of her head. She was covered in quite a bit of that deity's blood…He just wouldn’t go down without a fight. Enemies that could regenerate were truly a pain to fight! His blood also wouldn't wash away with any of the basic cleaning spells Heather knew. Layla desperately needed a bath.

“So yeah…that's Kunou…from an alternate universe. In that universe, all the Yokai besides her were wiped out by an evil Red Dragon Emperor. He turned out to be naively following an evil deity impersonating my Biblical Father of that world.” Layla explained. She was very aware of how convoluted that explanation sounded.

“Was that deity strong?” Yasaka asked in concern. She knew Layla was now an Ultimate Class, but she still worried. Yasaka didn’t think she could survive losing another one of her mates. If she didn’t have Kunou, she might have followed after her first one. She was eternally grateful she did however, because she ended up meeting Layla only a few years later!

Layla looked to the side awkwardly. Yeah, that guy was pretty strong. “I was only fighting an avatar, but they had quite a bit of fight in them. Thankfully they weren’t ready for my new abilities!” Layla smirked. She then started her explanation of what went down on her latest excursion. “Everything happened like this…”

–A Few Hours Earlier–

‘Faith energy?’ Layla wondered what that was?

[It’s energy granted to deities from their believers. It can be used for all sorts of things. Get enough of it, and you can even ascend to Godhood!]

That sounded like a whole conversation she'd prefer to have at a later time.

Layla shrugged and turned back to Heather and Kunou. She raised an eyebrow at the way Kunou was looking at her. Layla was growing used to people idolizing her, but Kunou was looking at her like she was a Goddess or something.

Oh…

That's where that faith energy was coming from.

“Damn…You slapped him so hard that half his teeth are gone!” Heather exclaimed. She walked over to the unconscious Red Dragon Emperor and gave him a kick for good measure. “Murderous zealot asshole! That’s what you get!”

“Thank you for stopping him and healing me.” Kunou said to Layla. “You were able to beat him so easily, are you a goddess?” Kunou asked with fervor in her voice and eyes sparkling towards Layla.

“Well, actually–” Layla started to speak but was cut off by Heather!

“She’s better than a goddess! Not only that, but Layla is dating multiple Goddesses AND she's sleeping with Lady Death herself!” Heather proclaimed loudly!

“Amazing!” Kunou exclaimed and looked at Layla with even more fervor!

→Faith energy +1!

Layla gaped at Heather's proclamation and the girl-who-lived just gave her a cheeky wink in response. Layla couldn't believe that Heather was choosing now, of all times, to try and prank her!

[You’re kind of a goddess at this point if you think about what you can do. You’re immortal, extremely powerful, can revive the dead, and travel between universes freely.]

Layla facepalmed. She could already feel that this situation was going to blow out of proportion somehow!

[I believe in you, Host! …It probably will though.]

Kunou clapped her hands together. “Truly you must be an incredibly powerful Goddess! On top of being incredibly beautiful and having 5 pairs of majestic black wings! They look so much better than the white wings of those horrible Angels!” Kunou spat out with hatred in her voice.

“I'm sorry to hear that.” Layla replied. She then pointed at Issei's body. “If you don't mind, Heather and I are just going to take Issei's Sacred Gear and go–”

Kunou wasn't done ranting though! “The Shinto weren't any better either! My mother prayed to them for aid when the church besieged us and they did nothing to help! They are false Gods as well! I see now that we Yokai should have been praying to you all along!” She declared passionately.

‘Uh oh…I think I broke her.’ Layla lamented internally.

[I think watching her entire race die is what broke her… Then you showed up and heroically defeated the one who did it with ease.]

Layla couldn’t disagree. This girl was going to need therapy. All of the therapy…

→Faith energy +1
