Volume 4 Chapter 185 - Preparations (Kisuke's Side)

On the screen, Kisuke, Yoruichi and Ophis witness how Medusa mutates. Ophis momentarily stopped eating her cookies and stared at the screen a bit interested in the form Medusa is taking in. I might be due to her concept represented by the 'Infinite Serpent' that she got curious at the 'Snake'.

They all ignored how two guys with a Harpe got instantly killed and discussed among themselves.

"Snake…" Ophis muttered.

Kisuke and Yoruichi looked at each other, "Is this their goal?" Yoruichi asked.

"Probably…"

"What's happening to her?"

"I don't know… I wish I'm there to see this in person but my guess is that it's probably related to her Divine Core." Kisuke adjusted the camera angle to get a better view and noticed that Medusa is still protecting the pendant he gave her, 'What am I going to do with this now? I didn't think after reincarnating I would have problems with women… I'm already living a different life, huh…'

"Divine Core?"

"That what I call it… It's something that is part of her soul that supports her soul and body. It's radiating the same energy that Cleria described as Divinity so I just called it Divine Core."

"Does that mean Medusa is a goddess?"

"I'm not sure how you should classify a god so I don't know. But I'm sure that it isn't the thing that is Aizen trying to be."

"So you're saying that gods are just another race just like humans?"

"That's more like it. But they are called gods for a reason due to their unreasonable power especially those gods of which represent concepts that give them destructive powers."

"Then is it related to 'Medusa's Curse' from the legends?"

"Probably… But this became a problem…"

"What?"

"I have to remove those chains, right?"

"And?"

"Those chains are coming and going inside her Divine Core. If there are changes in her Divine Core then most of the things I prepared became useless. I knew that about this malevolent aura since it really came from her Divine Core when she tried suicide earlier, and I thought I could use it to bring out those chains… But clearly… It changed to something beyond my predicted model."

"Can you still remove those despite that?"

"I can… But I would need some time to inspect the changes and use appropriate measures but we don't have that kind of time. I have a feeling that it won't end well for Medusa if I still let this progress."

"What are you planning to do then?"

"…" Kisuke stayed silent for a moment and after a moment of contemplation, he looked at Ophis who already resumed eating her cookies while watching Medusa slaughter the members of the Perseus Clan using magic that is the same as she cast earlier but much more powerful and doesn't need any preparations, "Ophis-chan~. Mind lending a hand for a bit? I'll give you some chocolate-coated marshmallow as thanks~."

Ophis looked up and tilted her head in confusion, but after a second, she nodded her head. She doesn't know what is a chocolate-coated marshmallow, but the word chocolate is also present in chocolate cookies she's currently enjoying so she agreed even without knowing what he wants for her to do.

"What are you planning to do?" Yoruichi asked curiously.

"Nothing much~. Just some additional insurance~. Good thing Ophis-chan came to us. We're super lucky~. Without her, it'll be troublesome and I'm not even sure if it can go smoothly." Kisuke watched Medusa for a while who started laughing crazily with a tear-stained face and clenched his fist.

A few seconds later, the camera monitoring the owl statue alerted Kisuke of some changes to it and he immediately scanned the data gathered, 'An increase in Divinity level? And the intents… There's only one left. Is it the famous Athena? Did she chase the others away? Why?… Whatever… This is a lot more convenient for me.'

A moment later, the owl statue suddenly shone in bright golden light and it transformed into a golden armored woman which radiates Divinity. She helped the Perseus Clan by transferring her Divinity to the olive tree to strengthen its protection against Medusa's Pandemonium Cetus.

Confirming that it's indeed Athena from the Teny's words, Kisuke faced Ophis again and said, "Ophis-chan, I heard that you can bestow power in a form of snakes. Can you create a snake that strengthens the user but also consumes the soul?"

"What!? What are you trying to do asking for that?" Yoruichi was shocked at what he's asking for.

"You know the saying 'combat poison with poison'? I'm aiming for that."

"Isn't that too dangerous?"

"It is… Not if with my supervision~. Who do you think is your lover is?"

"A genius pervert."

"Exactly~!" Kisuke agreed without any hesitation and turned to Ophis again, "Oh… And please make it so that it's transferable and removable."

Ophis nodded and looked down at her hands. A black magic circle with an infinity symbol appeared on it. From there, she conjured a pitch black snake with red eyes and it shoots towards Kisuke's right arm. The snake coiled around his arm and shrunk into a tattoo. With that done, Ophis extended her open hands towards Kisuke asking for her payment.

"Hahaha~. Here's the chocolate-coated marshmallow." Kisuke took out a tetra pack from his inventory containing the snack but before he gave it to her, he asked for another thing, "One more thing, Ophis-chan. Transfer some of your powers to this pill." On his other hand, a pill in the size of candy sat.

Smelling the snack from the tetra pack, Ophis' eyes lit up and hurriedly transferred some of her powers to the pill. Kisuke took the pill back and patted her hand after handing her prized snacks.

"What was that for?"

"It's for disobedient children to become obedient~."

"?" Yoruichi wanted to ask more, but the fight between Medusa and Athena is ending with Medusa pinned down to the ground with a sword in her stomach. Athena pulled her sword out and 9 silver chains bore out from her stomach coiling around her while she screams in pain.

"!!!… So she really has a way to activate those chains! Yoruichi, Ophis-chan, I have to go." Kisuke sets Ophis down and Yoruichi separated from him. Kisuke was about to open a portal towards the isolated space when Yoruichi suddenly called out to him from behind.

"Wait! You know you can't kill everyone from the Perseus Clan, right?"

"I know… We're lucky that someone from there has some sense." Kisuke replied. Even if Elexa didn't exist in the Perseus Clan, they can't rashly exterminate that clan as they are a big powerhouse in the region. Their sudden disappearance would only create a large power vacuum that other influences would try to compete to acquire. In those kinds of wars, only innocent people suffer, supernatural or not. They want to avoid that situation as much as possible. So as much as they want to exterminate that clan, they can't do it suddenly without establishing another influence that could take over them peacefully.

"One last thing. Make sure that you take her out alive and well."

"No problem~. With Ophis-chan's assistance, it became easier~." Kisuke then opened a whole in the space directly transferring him to the isolated space leaving the two behind to watch the screen.

Kisuke appeared in front of Medusa who is desperately crying and said, "Heya~. What's up with the snotty face? Who made you cry? Want this big brother to kick her butt?"

"Ki…suke?"

"Yep~ It's your lovable and handsome shopkeeper~."
