Playing With Other Supernaturals Volume 9 554 -As A Terrorist

Volume 9 Chapter 554 – As A Terrorist

“Of course, it isn’t just that. Us Gods are not immune to desires, as one of their major motivations is greed for power. And between Apollo and Hades, the former is the worst, as the latter would be satisfied as long as no one interrupts the cycle of souls,” added Nyx.

In that regard, Kisuke and Hades might have something they could agree on, however, fundamentally, they are still after different things. While Hades wanted to constrain the soul into its ‘natural’ cycle, Kisuke is after the freedom of the soul.

In hindsight, Kisuke’s belief in souls is closer to Aizen’s than any other member of Soul Society, while Hades’ thinking was aligned with those very old conservatives on the Council of 46.

“Enough with their motives. Why did they target me?”

“Some Gods, especially those who are aligned with the stars have this rare ability, Divination. Its basic function is to let its user peer into the future. Apollo has unusually powerful Divination powers that enabled him to peer into the far future with much more accuracy,” replied Nyx.

“So this Apollo saw me through his Divinations?”

Nyx shook her head, “Not exactly. The farther and more specific one wants to see, the greater the limitations that were imposed on this ability. However, Apollo was still able to figure out a few things and make his move. The content of his Divination was, ‘Our Grand Ambition will be ended by a Human.’ ”

Kisuke closed his eyes and thought about her words for a few minutes before sighing, “So I gave myself away, huh?”

Nyx nodded, “You’re correct. From the start, they didn’t know who this Human was. However, they did have a few suspects and I only knew a few of them. First is the host of the Holy Spear, Cao Cao. But he’s under Indra’s protection so they couldn’t do anything at the time but to plan ahead. The other two were Dulio Gesualdo and Vasco Strada, both from the church, but they both have the same problem as the first one. And the last two that I know of are the possessor of the Two Heavenly Dragons.”

“However, even after planning against them, the result of the Divination didn’t change which could only mean two things. First is that they failed to stop this Human and second is that they were targeting the wrong person.”

Serafall then suddenly pressed her fist on her palm, “I see! They found Kisuke because of Kokabiel’s debacle! But then again, why did they make their move? If they knew they would fail from the beginning, then they wouldn’t have lured him out using Sona-chan. Clearly, Ki-tan is still alive so is Sona-chan.”

But instead of Nyx, it was Kisuke who answered her, “It was because of Ophis-chan.”

Hearing her name, Ophis tilted her head in confusion and wondered how she was involved in all of this.

However, Kisuke ignored her and continued, “I knew for sure that Divination can’t read a transcended being’s fate as they have no fate to begin with. As beings that shook off the shackles of the world, they are outside of the natural order. So when Ophis-chan started interacting with us closely, it should be also around that time that they stopped seeing the Divination results.”

“So you really are the Human in that Divination since it disappeared and all?” asked Serafall.

However, Kisuke just shrugged his shoulders, “Who knows? This peering into the future is very unstable to begin with, that it may change suddenly due to the smallest actions. It might have been me or it may be someone else. Unless Divination is a steady stream of information from the future, it isn’t really reliable and one is bound to misunderstand the information from it.”

‘Divination can hardly be useful… Unless it’s someone like Yhwach. I wonder if his ability is really to watch and manipulate the future like the Soul King?’ Kisuke thought as he sighed.

But for the first time, Nyx smiled, “In my opinion, Apollo’s Divination was unusually strong this time.”

Kisuke’s eyes widened slightly at her reaction and asked, “What makes you think that?”

“I think that instead of predicting the future, he instead brought that future to himself.”

Athena was also shocked this time, “You think that if they didn’t touch him, the prophecy wouldn’t have come true anyway?”

“Isn’t it? I mean now that they made him their enemy, I think Kisuke Urahara wouldn’t leave them alone now.”

Serafall looked towards Kisuke and asked, “What do you think?”

“Hmm? Well, it’s true that I’m going to mess with them from here on out and probably clean them up once I get my chance. If they didn’t bother me, I probably wouldn’t even look their way.”

Kisuke then stood up and looked towards Athena, “I heard enough. Come with me and let’s remove that poison.”

Athena first looked towards Nyx and the latter nodded at her. She then stood up and followed Kisuke. Serafall, Ophis and Nyx were left alone, however, only the sound of Ophis munching on her snacks was heard as the other two didn’t even talk.

Half an hour later, Kisuke and Athena returned with the latter’s complexion a lot better.

Once Athena reached Nyx’s side, she turned back to Kisuke, “About the cooperation…”

However, before she could even finish speaking, Kisuke raised his hand to interrupt her, “Let’s talk about that in another day. Serafall-sama here will contact you.”

Although she was stopped, Athena was happy with Kisuke’s answer as this was actually the best one she could hope for, an answer that Kisuke didn’t immediately refuse, “Understood. We’ll leave and will wait for your word.”

Athena and Nyx didn’t bother them anymore and directly left.

Serafall stood up from her seat and asked Kisuke a question she has been wondering, “Since you’re in control of Athena, wouldn’t you have cured her regardless of her offer? After all, she’s your precious outlet of information from Olympus.”

Kisuke signaled Serafall and Ophis to follow him before replying, “Of course. Athena and Nyx should also be aware of that.”

“Then couldn’t have Nyx accepted your offer and still get what they came here for?”

“It’s because the real reason that Athena came here is to show me that Nyx isn’t an enemy. Although it looked like she used Nyx’s information for her own benefit, she’s actually looking out for her. Athena knew that Nyx and I were enemies and gave me an out in the deal is one way to ease my stance on Nyx.”

“Besides, what they came here for is not the poison, but the cooperation. If I have to guess, Olympus is probably divided into two factions. Apollo’s faction and Zeus’ faction, and the latter’s faction is at an overwhelming disadvantage. The only reason why Apollo’s faction hasn’t made their move is that they are not ready to take on the other mythological factions yet. Athena wanted me to join their side as Apollo’s enemy.”

“The fact that you sent them away in hopes of meeting them again, you already accepted it?”

Kisuke then suddenly grinned, “You bet I will~! There’s no greater chance than this for me to enter Olympus, right?”

Serafall’s mouth twitched at his answer, “Y-you won’t attack them, right?”

Chuckling, Kisuke replied, “That’s a funny question, Sera-chan~. Designating me as a terrorist probably took them some effort, so it’d be very rude of me to waste it~.”

Serafall wanted to do something, but she already knew that she couldn’t change his mind, ‘I should bring this up with Sirzechs-chan… We can’t have this guy continue his terrorizing activities in the Underworld by branding him as one!’

Editors:

28th00: Chomp Chomp say the Phis-chama. Serafall has seen the light, giving Kisuke the label of a terrorist means he doesn’t need to care about anyone or anything in his revenge and/or boredom.

Goyya: Kisuke, one of the very few people to be labeled as a terrorist. It’s a free ticket to mess with others.
