After cuddling with Hephaestus for a while sharing an amiable silence, I soon was kicked out with Tsubaki Collabrande on her way to discuss private Familia business but the look of disbelief on the secretary's face as I obviously strutted out of the room and if the way that her nose twitched, I knew that she was an adventurer probably around level three or something as she gave a knowing look of disdain.
'Probably there to protect Hephaestus or from any idiots.' I thought as I cheerfully walked out of Hephaestus's section of the Tower of Babel and as I left said tower I paused in though before shrugging and was reminded how I drank the fertility potion around noon and with it only being around three I should just go see Inari so hopefully I can end this day on a good note if it goes poorly as I am almost assured it will.
"Fucking petty gods and their nonsense." I cursed thinking of different scenarios of what will happen before just throwing it into the back of my mind knowing that I will simply have to react to whatever happens at the meeting rather than agonizing over it as I am most certainly not a long-term planner.
I hired a little carriage to take me to the other side of the city as apparently the Inari Familia manor was based on the far east side of Orario and I didnt want to walk a few miles to get over to that side of the city nor did I want to fly as I wanted to attempt to organize my thoughts for this and how to deal with the souls running around my Familia's manor.
As I sat in the little carriage being pulled by a horse I took out a slip of paper and started writing out the major things I needed to deal with like getting bodies for the souls to inhabit while making like notes about my armor protecting me from passive scrying from fusing the invisibility cloak within it so in theory if I go to Bleach I won't be nuked from Ichibei erasing my name from existence or even that abomination of a soul king blinking me away from his reality.
Getting into FGO would be even easier as I could just teleport into Chaldea as the bombs were going off basically and then just bum rush my way into the room as they get sent into the Singularity.
I wonder if I stuff a servant into a Gigai, would that incarnate them as they are basically soul templates running around which would come close to Shinigami.
Either way the whole FGO timeline is fucking weird and probably is one of those timelines Gaia and Alaya are about to prune if not for the actions of Fujimaru Ritsuka desperately keeping them above the pruning line and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the duo is just waiting for the hero to die at in some events like from overeating chocolate from the hundreds of servants giving their master chocolate for Valentines.
Woe be to any master who eats one yandere's chocolate over another...
Shaking my head at the thought of flying through the silver hallways franticly dodging Kiyohime or Hassan Serenity or really any of the more obsessive servants I was fairly sure that even if Gaia and Alaya found me mucking around in FGO I doubted they would smite me as I was obviously human and Alaya would probably try to recruit me, and Gaia would realize I wasn't one of the native parasite humans and wouldn't try to deny my existence like she did Magecraft.
"We are here sir." The old man driving the carriage told me and I answered an affirmation and handed the man a decent tip for the trip.
Standing in front of the eastern style miniature castle I frowned at the highwalls and what looked to be glowing glyphs inlaid into the walls lining the courtyards walls.
"Hmm may have to account for hostile wards." I muttered as I approached the front gate where a couple male Renard's were standing guard.
"Halt. State your business with the Inari Familia." For a second, I considered kicking the arrogant little shit as they were literally standing in little raised podiums on the sides of the gates purely so they could look down on others from a height advantage.
"I am Jake Barris captain of the Hestia Familia and I have come to address the harassment that has been led upon my Familia with the members of your Familia trying to force the Renard named Haruhime into your Familia." I said with a chilly bite in my tone.
"Ah! Lady Haruhime the newest prodigy with a whole nine tails. Yes, we are so excited to welcome her into our Familia, as she will bring great honor to her ancestors in serving lady Inari." The guard said respectfully but ended with sneering at me for even associating with someone he already considered Inari's property.
"Hey... I just had a great morning but if you continue to be rude to me again your head is going between your legs even if it breaks your spine..." I threatned as if these arrogant little fucks want to suck their own dicks out of pride well, I have no problem helping with that.
"Peh just because you found a cheat to help with leveling up the Falna, that just means your stats are weak with having never probably getting past the D rank in lettering." The guard spat as his partner cheered obviously drunk.
But then said drunk guard slurred some words out and I smiled lightly. "Hey Ren, do you think we can have a go at that Haruhime chick... She wont be all that important with her not being able to switch Familia's right." He drawled off and even the arrogant Renard looked disgusted at his words.
"Welp looks like its clan slaughtering time." I muttered and then my sword flashed into my hand as I prepared to reenact what every cultivation main character does at least once...
Pull the troubles out by the roots.
I flashed forward and then with used the first portion of the Insect breathing style I really hammered in on which was a lightning quick series of stabs and although my sword wasn't as light and nimble as Shinobu's I was able to average a solid three stabs within two seconds to her six to seven.
My stabs hit home with three stabs into the Renard with one going into his heart, throat, and finally through the eye socket and into the brain.
I dashed backwards as a series of arrows were shot at me from several direction from the walls and knew that it was preprogrammed defenses as no one said anything besides the ear ringing alarm ringing out as the arrogant Renard named Ren smashed his fist into what seemed to be a hidden alarm.
"What the fuck is wrong with you!" Ren screamed as I coldly advanced on him.
I could feel people watching whether it be the people in the street or even magical means of active scrying, so I spoke loudly and clearly. " I battled against Alfia one of the greats during the generation of heroes who fought the three great beasts, then I destroyed Knossos and removed the Ikelos Familia and some Evilus remnants residing within." With that said I slashed my sword and a space blade cut Ren in half at the waist and destroyed the wards around the gate and said gate collapsed from the wards violently being torn apart so easily.
"I do all this and still people harass members of my Familia. People still try to break into my Familia's mansion..." I shook my head and then yelled. "Then I will emulate Finn Deime, and Ottar who wade through a sea of blood in establishing their might in slaughtering Evilus and the remnants of Zues and Hera's people."
Yeah, granted Evilus was needed to be purged but Alfia and Zald weren't the only members of the members of the two Familia's to survive the One-Eyed Black Dragon as several were deeply injured fighting the other two great monsters and simply couldn't be at the battle and when Zues and Hera came back defeated all their members were ousted from the city or killed for resisting as Loki and Freya took power over Orario.
With that declaration I was no longer a madman killing to merely get his way. No now in these people's mind which had martial might hammered into the culture and bred into their very genes. I was simply establishing my territory and was obviously going to make the Hestia Familia join the top five Familia's of Orario.
Because in the end killing a royal family to become the new king in this feudal world isn't anything new at all especially with people with the Falna running around as a level three could easily go to a far-off kingdom and overpower an army of unblessed mortals and kill said king and force the queen into a marriage for legitimacy and with basically all adventure's having Abnormal Resistance good luck getting a poison that would work on him.
I will no longer accept other Familia's being rude or disrespectful to Hestia as no one dared to be disrespectful to Freya as they were pants shitting terrified of Ottar or one of her level six's wrecking their work of decades.
