Playing With Other Supernaturals Volume 9 535 -VS Hades

Volume 9 Chapter 535 – VS Hades

Sirzechs and Azazel, along with their ‘bodyguard’ Dulio Gesualdo, Michael’s ‘Joker’, went to the Realm of the Dead to keep Hades in check while the Underworld was under attack. They figured that he’s more of a threat than the monsters wreaking havoc right now due to his machinations from the shadows.

Although Azazel was a direct victim of Hades’ plans, they couldn’t just go all out and attack him. After all, he’s one of the leaders of Olympus, which was allied with them. Right now, all they can do is accuse him, but he could just as easily deny those.

With that in mind, Sirzechs and Azazel went to give him a visit so that he wouldn’t be able to move for some time. As Heaven’s representative, Michael sent Dulio to go along with them.

Dulio is a handsome young man with blond hair, green eyes, and dressed in priest clothes. He has 10 pure white wings, which are a symbol of his powers. He is an exorcist reincarnated into an Angel by the Archangel Michael as his ‘Joker’. He possesses the second-strongest Longinus, Zenith Tempest.

After a few exchanges of words, Sirzechs decided to show his true form, which was the pure Power of Destruction in humanoid form, to threaten Hades.

This form was so powerful that he would be able to overpower Hades easily, however, Sirzechs didn’t have full control of it, and by just moving a finger, the Power of Destruction would spread against his will and destroy those around him.

If he were to fight Hades now, he may be able to kill him, but he’d also destroy the Realm of the Dead, which no one wants since the cycle of reincarnation would be disrupted. Besides, if he were to really kill Hades now, it might devolve into a war bigger than anything else, which also nobody wants right now.

During the time Hades was being held back, Vali’s comrades started wreaking havoc throughout the whole Realm of the Dead, which infuriated Hades greatly, to which both Sirzechs and Azazel took great pleasure from.

A few hours later, Sirzechs and Azazel simultaneously received a call. For Sirzechs, he received a call from Grayfia and she told him that the Jabberwocky, along with the monsters it had produced for those revolting Old-Satan Faction, were dealt with.

Sirzechs was already expecting that he’d have to stay here for a day or two until Ajuka found a way to disable the Jabberwocky’s regeneration and anti-magic abilities. He had a feeling that Ajuka wasn’t the one who found a way to defeat it, so he asked Grayfia who did.

He only received one answer, “Kisuke Urahara.” When he asked for further details, Grayfia told him that it was hard to explain and he had to watch it himself to make sense of what really happened. Sirzechs agreed and instructed her to immediately begin the reconstruction of the city and to give out assistance to all the victims of the terror attack.

After ending the call, Sirzechs immediately deactivated his ‘True Form’, which eased the pressure on the surroundings.

“Everythings over?” Azazel asked Sirzechs after ending his own call.

“Yeah… A very unexpected person ended it,” replied Sirzechs.

Azazel chuckled and said, “I see. And that unexpected person might be coming here.”

Sirzechs eyes widened, “He’s coming here?”

Azazel didn’t answer Sirzechs question but instead faced Hades, “Hey Skeleton God-sama, care to tell us your connection with Kisuke Urahara?”

Hades was confused about what was going on, but at least he knew the reason why Sirzechs reverted to his normal form, ‘So it failed, huh? But I don’t really care. By now, the weakened Ophis should be in Pluto’s hands. Nevertheless, why would he ask about Kisuke Urahara now? That pest should have melted into a pool of disgusting ooze along with the Bat King’s little sister and some other unknown woman.’

“I already said it, Governor of Crows. I don’t have any obligation to answer any of your questions. Besides, Kisuke Urahara should be your problem, not mine. Why are you asking me?” replied Hades.

But before Azazel could say anything else, everyone heard rhythmic sounds of wooden sandals hitting the floor, and all of them turned to that direction, “Oh my~. And here I thought you knew me quite well, since you sent your men after Sona-chan to lure me in~.”

From the shadows, Kisuke and Ophis appeared.

However, instead of replying to them, Hades instead turned to Azazel and asked, “Is this your doing too, Governor of Crows? Why do you keep inviting pests to my Palace? Who is it this time, and why is Ophis with him? I already heard reports that you tried cooperating with the leader of Khaos Brigade, but I didn’t know you were this blatant about it.”

“Not even gonna acknowledge me, huh? Well, that’s fine. I didn’t come here for that.” Kisuke slowly walked towards the group of three and greeted, “Good day to you, Sirzechs-sama, Azazel-san, and?”

“Dulio Gesualdo, Michael-sama’s ‘Joker’.” Dulio introduced himself.

“Nice to meet you~. I’m Kisuke Urahara, a simple merchant~.”

“It has been a while, Kisuke… Never thought that you’d be showing yourself now.” Azazel then looked towards the girl on Kisuke’s shoulder, “And you even have Ophis with you… What happened to the girls that followed her?”

“They’re doing alright~,” Kisuke answered briefly.

Hearing this, Sirzechs and Dulio were shocked, as they already confirmed their fate through the summoned Piece and Card that were contaminated by Samael’s curse. They already expected that even their souls couldn’t survive.

Azazel, on the other hand, already guessed that this was the case, since only he knew that Kisuke’s true expertise is with souls. Though he’s still a bit shocked that he was able to do something. Laughing out loud, Azazel replied in delight, “I see! I see! Hahaha! That’s good to hear.”

Sirzechs and Dulio didn’t believe Kisuke, but they believed Azazel, who believed him and sighed in relief, “Kisuke Urahara, thank you for saving my little sister’s best friend and servant. I also received the news that you defeated the Jabberwocky and the Hero Faction. You have my thanks. Although I can’t do it officially due to obvious reasons, if you want something, please tell me. I can’t do much, but if it’s a reasonable request, I’ll see to it myself.”

“I’ll also relay the good news to Michael-sama~! If there’s anything, tell me! If it isn’t too much, I’ll assist!” Dulio added with a big smile on his face.

“As those kids’ teacher, allow me to pitch in some of my efforts too,” added Azazel.

“Since I’m not in a very good position right now, I’d like to take up those offers~. But for now, please turn a blind eye to what I’m about to do.”

“What are you going to do?” asked Sirzechs.

“A little bit of revenge.” Kisuke then held Ophis and put her down, “Stay here for now. I’ll be back soon.”

“…Make it fast. I want to go home,” replied Ophis.

Transferring his hat to her and patting her head, Kisuke answered with a smile, “Got it~.”

Everyone in the room is surprised at how close they were but didn’t say anything. Hades, on one hand, is still confused about why he’s still alive and why Ophis was with him, ‘…I assume Pluto failed his task. But revenge? Does this conceited Human think he can take me on? But this is convenient. I can finish the job that the missing Nyx failed to do.’

All this time, Hades thought that the destruction of the ritual site was due to the magic circle malfunctioning due to the damage Kisuke did to it. Although he can accept that he was able to survive the poison, he refused to believe that Kisuke would have enough power to destroy the site, much less when he was poisoned by a poison that was designed to kill the Gods, ‘Once I kill him, I will retrieve his body and examine it. Maybe I can figure out how he survived it and improve my concoction.’

“Human, I’m surprised that you can still breathe in this realm, but this is my territory. If you want to do something disrespectful to me, I advise you not to do it,” said Hades as Kisuke slowly walked towards him.

“Hey now, you’re asking a ‘terrorist’ to be respectful to you? You sure have some strange tastes~.” Kisuke chuckled as he pulled out the blade from his cane.

Without saying another word, multiple magic circles appeared behind Hades, conjuring countless blue balls of fire that didn’t emit any heat. He then launched it towards Kisuke all at once.

This signaled the start of Kisuke’s third battle with a God of Olympus.

28th00: Phis-chama has her Hat back, and got a headpat, this pays for the premature shoulder ride ending. She’s kept that Hat from her ‘Mr. Hat’ personally for quite a long time, hasn’t she? A few months in fact. She’s adorable. She’s super emotive and excitable compared to normal, so I guess these few months with Serafall, Irina and Akeno have done her good, huh? I guess Vali and his team (mostly Le Fay I assume) tried to hang out with her too. It’s time to rumble! Death God vs. Death God(Read: Shinigami)! Let’s crack a skull! It’s war now baby! He hurt Sona, Himself, Yoruichi, Ophis and probably Medusa too! It’s personal! Super personal.
