Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 801 Clear Mind

Kisuke immediately looked up as soon as he felt a strange presence appearing on top of his head, 'So even the manifestation of the legend is the same? Then I'm more inclined to believe that the names aren't a coincidence.'

Kisuke dodged the angry cats and they went on to continue their journey to the bottom of the lake where Freya is.

But instead of an explosion of power like Kisuke was expecting, only a flash of bright light occurred. Soon after the gigantic Magic Circle that continuously cast 'Death Magic' on the region disappeared, 'Well, it isn't really effective against me so it's just a waste of effort for her. Though the clean-up afterward is going to suck. Do I have a purification tool? I would also have to accelerate the repopulation of marine life.'

Kisuke's worries, however, were proven to be useless because another flash of light emerged from within the lake and this time, the light caused him to feel the warmth of life, a stark contrast to the overwhelming aura of death from earlier. The lake's water returned to its former shine and the marine life was instantly restored to its healthy state. But it didn't just stop at that as the downed trees and vegetation have begun wriggling and fixed themselves.

The restoration didn't stop until the region flourished more than before their battle, 'What a wonderful sight. The 'miracle' of a Deity, huh? How interesting.' Kisuke thought to himself as he watched Freya serenely emerge from the lake without a drop of injury, grime, or water on her body.

But more than her flawless body, what caught Kisuke's attention was the white and gold armor set she's wearing and the lustrous silver kite shield and a short sword that matched her hair. Kisuke thought that the Freya right now, along with her demeanor, was truly a Goddess of War and Beauty that he had imagined. After thinking for a few moments, he concluded that her current equipment right now was the chariot and cats that had just descended.

Kisuke got ready because he knew that this is where the real fight would start, however, his opponent didn't have the same idea and turned her head towards Orario.

Kisuke hastily checked the surrounding barrier and found them to be working as intended, 'She was able to see through it?'

Nevertheless, instead of being disappointed, Kisuke was happy to have found this problem this early on. All in all, he just needed a few more pieces of information from Freya to make the necessary adjustments. He's just worried that the latter won't be cooperating anymore, 'How should I piss her off this time? Should I call her ugly?'

Before he knew it, Freya's shining purple eyes were already locked on him, "Aren't you thinking of something very rude?"

And without hesitation, Kisuke replied, "Yeah. I'm thinking of saying how ugly you are inside and out."

With a response that she was not expecting, Freya almost tripped over nothing. The corner of Freya's eyes twitched before she could say back with a slightly forced smile, "M-my~ So nothing changed for you, huh. You're really pulling my confidence down here."

Freya thought that Kisuke was taking back what he just said when he suddenly gave her a thumbs up and a wink when he actually said, "Don't worry~ I can assure you that you're still ugly on the inside~!"

Freya felt the veins on her forehead pop out but she took a deep breath to calm herself down. She has a feeling that only now that she met the 'true' Kisuke. Having a hunch that she would just further be infuriated, Freya changed the topic, "Why did you do this?"

"You're not going to ask how I did this?"

"I want to know that too since it's an ultimate game changer for us Deities if we can use our powers within the Lower World, however, I doubt I could hear an answer from you so at least, I wish to know your intent behind this," Freya recalled the last instance they exchanged words. It was a very memorable day for her because it's also the day that she started doubting her eyes, ultimately pushing her to do the extreme just to validate her already shaking beliefs, "Is it because you're against what I want to happen?"

Kisuke immediately shook his head, "Don't get it wrong. What you're doing was, at most, kidnapping and I'm no hero or law enforcer that would go after you. As for ultimately what your goal is, I have a vague idea though it still isn't my right to step in. As I've mentioned before, I won't force my beliefs on you and just suggest something universal, look through another lens."

"Let's see... As for the main reason I'm doing this, let's say you're standing dangerously close to a line that shouldn't, by any means, be crossed right now so I'm here to stop you and make sure not to do anything similar in the future."

"I see.", Freya nodded in understanding, "I must say, it was really threatening and I have no intention of doing something similar in the future if it incurs your wrath. You had undoubtedly already achieved your goal, but what else do you want? You didn't have to let it reach this point."

"I'm a man of curiosity. I wanted to know what a God can actually do. You could also say that I wanted to test my skills by challenging a Deity since it isn't every day that I could. But I guess this is where the fun ends." Since she didn't have any further reason to continue this fight Kisuke prepared to take down the barrier once Freya severed her connection to her real body, 'It's a shame but it looks like I won't be able to coax her by just pissing her off.'

However, Freya became silent and Kisuke wondered what she's thinking about.

After a few seconds of staring at each other, Freya proposed, "Today is really such a unique day so ending it here would be unfortunate. How about this, if you can defeat me, I would do any one thing you ask as long as it's within my ability."

It was Kisuke's turn to be silent and gave her a stare full of suspicion.

"And when I said anything, I meant it. Whether it's lending you my children or having fun with me for a month or two."

Without pause, Kisuke replied while raising his hand, "I'm sorry but I'm neither interested in either of the two."

"Guh..." Freya staggered, 'He could have at least pretended to hesitate a little.' But what made it worse was the fact that right now, Kisuke is making a face that as if he would even pay her not to do any of those, 'Am I that bad in his eyes?' Freya could feel her confidence plummet.

Among those who are watching, everyone was speechless with each of them having a differing impression of the conversation, except for Loki, who's laughing her ass out loud, "Fuhahahaha! I've never thought Freya could make a face like that! Way to go, Ki-tan~! It's an achievement never before seen even in Heaven!"

"Though I'll admit that it's a very appealing proposal.", Kisuke continued, "But what price do you want from me?"

"Your experience."
