.""~AhMNmMn!?"".
Grafia let out a confused and aroused moan as Haile kissed her so suddenly, Haile pulled away bringing a bridge of saliva."How was that for an answer."He said with a smirk.
."Uh..um uh i..uh.."Grafia was speechless as she stood there dumbfounded, she touched her lips softly, feeling the wetness her cheeks flushed red.
Haile nod at his work."Good, now you know what to do, go ahead and head on back with Sera and Rossweisse for now."He said creating a circle for them.
Serafall, Grafia and Rossweisse disappeared back to the underworld leaving Hera, Guhna, Xenovia, Tiamat, Nalisa and Yasaka who was holding onto the still sleeping Kunou.
Haile had done all he can to make sure she was protected, that was one of the reasons he couldn't defend himself against Amiria, he had focused all of his power on protecting Kunou.
He didn't even protect himself or Yasaka, just Kunou, but it was for a good reason, first off he himself was basically an immortal, with his God back he could bring himself back to life if he died, his girls they may also be fine as they are linked to his Pantheon system to their very souls.
But Kunou, she doesn't have anything, nothing at all, if she died then it's over for her, her soul and everything would probably dissipate as Amiria is a being beyond divine.
Yasaka on the other hand would be a goner, he didn't protect her at all, he just couldn't spare the power, if he had to choose between Yasaka's life and Kunou it was pretty obvious who he is choosing as of now.
Haile walked up to Yasaka and Kunou, he looked at her cute face, sleeping so cluelessly oblivious to the horrors of the outside world, he stretched out his hand gently towards her before stopping.
A difficult expression appeared on his face as he frowned slightly wondering if he even has the right.
Yasaka seeing this tilt her head slightly but then saw his eyes and understood, she shook her head."It's ok sir Haile, it's not your fault, you don't have to feel guilty about something out of your control."She said consoling him.
.".....But...that's exactly why I'm feeling this way, nothing should be out of my control, I had so much time and so many opportunities but I wasted it all because I thought I had more time, but look what it almost caused me."Haile said as he bit his lip drawing blood, he was truly upset with himself.
Yasaka looked up at him."So, what are you going to do about it, complain or fix it."She asked him lightly.
."Complain...or fix, huh, of course, what I have always chosen, I...choose..to conquer, if I conquer everything there will be nothing left to defeat me and take what's mine, right."Haile spoke as his eyes were set ablazed, his golden aura coiled around him like a dragon, a majestic roar sounded from his soul prepared to echo across the Infinity Planes Of existence.
The other's looked on with amazement and awe, they had never felt such a presence before, even compared to Haile before, it's like he now found his true purpose, his reason for being, his ambition.
Yasaka smiled."Now that's the man I fell in love wi-."She covered her mouth quickly as her eyes widened, she looked at Haile as though she also realized something."..No, I didn't mean..."
."Haha, I think it's too late to deny such a lovely thing, so that's how you feel about master huh, why am I not surprised, even the dignified ruler of Youkai fell at his charm."Tiamat smirked at her embarrassed appearance.
Haile smiled, he held Yasaka's hand."I thank you for that talk Yasaka, very helpful and needed."He said gratefully, then he glanced at Kunou.
."Are you still going to keep hesitating even now, you know she can't possibly hate you right, she would never blame you for anything."Yasaka said as she lift Kunou herself and put her in Haile's arms.
Haile stood still as he held her gently almost like fragile glass that would break upon contact, the look on his face was that of concentration as he was being careful not to wake her up.
Everyone felt like their hearts skipped a beat looking at this scene, it was so cute even Tiamat held her chest unable to withstand the cuteness.
Nalisa looked on with happiness.'Of course there is this side to Master as well, one which he had shown to me once before when he gave me back my eyes, how can someone like this be evil.'She of course had her own thoughts towards the actions of Haile.
Everyone just watched on getting caught up in the atmosphere of pure love, a pure love that can never exist between a man and woman, untainted by the desires of lust and obsession.
Maybe that is why it fascinated everyone so much, that is true love, something they will never have or any man and woman for that matter.
And out of the them all Hera was affected the most, being the Goddess of marriage and all those things this fell under her territory, she could almost cry.
Haile looked up at them confused on why they were looking at him like that."*Ahem* So Guhna, Xenovia you have access to the Pantheon, so you can train there together for now."He said softly as he glanced down.
Guhna nod in silence as she look to the ground, she no longer has any confidence or pride, it was all destroyed on this day, suddenly she felt a hand on her head.
She looked up and saw Haile smiling down at her, she wondered why, even she doesn't know why, but a single tear fell from her left eye that shun with a wing.
."I need you Guhna, you are to be my strength, become strong so I can have no worries, my guardian."Haile said leaning in kissing her forehead gently.
Guhna felt something in her heart that she couldn't possibly describe but it was warm and made her happy, she doesn't know what it is, she nods slowly to him as her face without her noticed gains a smile.
."Come along Guhna you are taking time from our Lord."Xenovia said calmly as she turned her face away, of course she was jealous and want to have kids with her God..... but anyway.
Haile smiled at her, he could see right through her."Hahaha, alright Guhna you can go ahead, don't keep Xenovia waiting."He said as he pat her butt gently.
Guhna disappeared with a red face, Xenovia bowed her head to Haile as she soon followed, now all that's left was Hera, Tiamat, Nalisa, Yasaka and little Kunou still in Haile's arms.
Now the place was in a little bit of silence, not awkward or anything but silence nonetheless, Hera, Tiamat and Yasaka were taking some glances at each other, after all they were competition.
Hera smirked, she stepped to Haile and hugged his arm, she then touched Kunou gently as she glanced at Yasaka."Husband, you look so comfortable and happy carrying this girl, definitely one day we will have children of our very own, our first children."She said cunningly eyeing Yasaka.
Yasaka squint her eyes, sparks started to fly between them as images of a giant fox and a giant Hera appeared translucently behind them respectively.
Yasaka smirked also, she knows what Hera was trying to do, she would be a bit disgruntled, at least if she and Haile had not already had a talk about that.
Tiamat on the side lines shook her head."Well, try not to hurt each other too much, *Yawn* I think I'll go back and have a little sleep, all these activities are making me tired, bye bye master."She said unsummoning herself.
."There she goes leaving me to deal with this by myself, figures."Haile said shaking his head with a smile, he then felt a poke on his back."Huh?."
Nalisa was standing behind him with a small pout."Master, am I that invisible to you, maybe I really am useless aren't I."She said looking away as she tried to pull a guilt trip card.
."*Sigh* Come on Nalisa that's not it, you were just so silent is all, you do not join yourself into our conversation and I told you it was fine if you did."Haile said smiling wryly, dealing with all of them is a hard mission, but one he is willing to do nonetheless.
Nalisa's expression quickly changed back."Master is so easily riled up huh."She said touching his cheeks and pulling them gently, she closed her eyes as she felt his face.
Haile stood still allowing her to do it as he gazed at her face, he remembered her doing this to him when they first met also, before she regained her eyes.
."Say, Nalisa do you, do you remember that time on the mountain, where we played with the snow that you created?."Haile asked her with a reminiscening tone allowing his cheeks to change form.
Nalisa still kept her eyes closed."Of course master, how could I forget, that was the time when you so graciously gave me back my life and allow me to see the beauty that is the world, I am still forever grateful."She said as a gentle smile graced her face.
."No not that specifically, I meant us together, you were so free, so happy, curious and adventurous, but now, *sigh* I feel guilty towards you, I feel like I have captured and in caged you, now you have grown reserved and trapped, am I hard on you?."Haile spoke his true feelings not beating around the bush.
Nalisa stopped her movements for a moment before continuing."That's a silly thing to say master, I just after living so long as a maid, I know my place, but of course if you wish to give me more freedom then you can do so."She said opening her eyes again.
."I already told you, you can do what you think is necessary when it comes to me, other than that you are free, what do you want to do."Haile asked her as he glanced down at Kunou in his arms who moved a little.
Nalisa stopped again."Mmm, I am fine how I am, I enjoy being your sla-maid...I also enjoying taking care of all the other's as well, by the way don't tell them that."She said taking her hands off his face as she glanced at Hera.
."Is that so, I suppose, then for now you can stay at my side and serve me."Haile said with a relaxed smile.
Nalisa bowed her head."Yes master."She said respectfully.
."~So husband, what about me, do you wish for me to stay at your side and serve you as well, we can do it all day long?~Hera said seductively as she licked her lips."It's been awhile since we did it and have been alone."
Haile looked at her, his eyes glanced down slowly then back to her face."I would love to, trust me...but."He glanced down at Kunou sleeping in his arms.
."Oh..I see, it's ok, we can do it another time, I guess we should get all this out the way first, it would be very hurtful for me if you are distracted when we next make love."Hera said shrugging her shoulders."Guess I will go make myself useful, I'll be back."
*Shhh*!
Hera creates a magic circle disappearing to who knows where.
Yasaka looked at Haile."That woman is dangerous, her life-force is chaotic and destructive, I can send a great suppressed obsession within her, you should be careful less she betrays you."She said seriously, she does not like her one bit.
Haile chuckled at that as he sweatdropped.'Of course she won't betray me for her obsession, cause, the obsession is me.'He thought to himself cracking a slight smile.
."What's so funny sir Haile I'm serious, it's very dangerous to keep her around."Yasaka frowned seeing him laughing at her concern.
Haile smirk."Ho, is it really just about concern, could that be a bit of jealousy I'm detecting, my my Yasaka, trying to clear competition is it."He said teasing her.
."Well, I mean..*ahem*."Yasaka cleared her throat with slight embarrassed tainting her cheeks pink, that was only part of the reason though.
Haile laughed at that."Come on don't be embarrassed, it is only natural to want me for yourself, anything else would be odd."He said puffing up his chest up.
."*Sigh* The size of master's ego is truly impressive at times."Nalisa said nodding her head impressed by it."I await with excitement and wondering curiosity of what you will do to all existence when you obtain it."
Haile rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression, then he smirked."Hehehe, the things I will do to these worlds when I rule, but Nalisa you sure are confident in me aren't you."He said.
."Of course I'm confident in master to overcome any and ever challenge, you have made the blind to see again and have given purpose back to the damned."Nalisa said with great pride that she will be one of the main characters in the new multiversal order.
That really warmed Haile's cold black heart."I'm happy you feel that way, to hear you say that is a great boost to my eg-will power."He said with a charming smile.
."Sir Haile, may I lead you back to my kingdom or will you be going somewhere else."Yasaka said as she looked around at the ominous and wet place, she wouldn't want her daughter to wake up in such a place.
Haile glanced at her then glanced at Kunou."I will take her to my house with me for now, you can come along for when she awakes then you can leave to sort your kingdom."He said as he kissed Kunou forehead making her smile unconsciously.
Yasaka saw this and her heart skipped a beat, if her heart keeps acting like that she will have a heartattack, she nodded."Ok, she wanted to go with you anyway."She said looking at her daughter.
With that Haile created a teleportation circle under them disappearing also, they left a cold wasteland of nothing but destruction.

*Underworld*
*Hades Land Of The Dead*
.""~*Humming*~Someday, someday, somedayyyy soon, I know, you'll be mine, and still hope, it's true, but I'll wait and I'll wait, still wait for you, then we'll be together always stuck like glue~"".
Walking through the depressed realm of the dead was Hera happily enjoying her own company as she sings a tune she created herself in her longing for her husband.
."I wonder if husband will like it, but matters not he will surely love what I'm about to do."Hera said to herself as her eyes glint with a dangerous red light."If husband wants this world, then it's my job as his wife to help him gain it."
He sped up her pace as she soon came to a stop by a gigantic death river with a long unstable rope bridge weaved across it.
Bones and entire skeleton bodies layed in the river floating aimlessly down stream wherever that leads to, the river water was black so who knew just how many bodies it held.
."Mm what do we have here, I can't remember it being like this when I visited last, renovations maybe?."Hera calmly looked around, she squint her eyes looking over the other side."Heh, seems like brother prepared a nice welcome for me."
Over there was her brothers castle.
Hera took a step onto the bridge and began to walk uncaring about the danger should it break, after all, a Goddess has no need for such mortal concerns.
She soon arrived to the otherside in a matter of moments and was greet by a group of strange people in hooded robes carrying scythes, they blocked her path leaving her no room to walk.
."The Grim Reapers, why have you halt my progress."Hera asked with a demanding tone as her gazed wanted to pierce a hole through them all.
One of the Grim Reapers step forward, they had a darker shade robe."My sincerest apologies Lady Hera, but we were instructed by Master Hades to guard the entrance and his exact orders were to not allow anyone through, please understand."He said calmly with a deep dead voice.
."So, even me, I'm not allowed to see my own big brother, you would dare stand in my way, a mere Grim Reaper, know your place."Hera spoke coldly as she released a great aura that held the surrounding and began to pushed it down.
*Boom*!!!
.""AggH!"".
The Grim Reaper was forced to his knees as he felt like the world was suddenly on his back."Agh la-lady Hera..please..I am under..strict order!."He said through gritted teeth.
."You still dare to resist *Hmpm*."Hera said adding more pressure, her face was contorted in anger, but somehow it was not even directed at the poor Grim Reaper before her.
.""Sister, that's enough"".
A cold dead voice sounded in all directions, it was the voice of Hades, as it traveled the pressure on the Grim Reaper was nullified instantly allowing him to breath a sigh.
.""Sister, was all that really necessary, they were only following order, is this how you wish to pay me a visit?"".
."So now you finally want to show your heartless self, remember to give them more specific instructions next time."Hera said a bit irritated as she looked away.
.""...Hera, is something wrong, you seem frustrated, this isn't like you, what happened, tell me"".
."*Sigh*...ok I'm sorry big brother, it's just that I've ran into a bit of misfortune as of late and..*sigh* it just makes me feel so helpless."Hera said sadly as her eyes began to water a bit, she looked so delicate it could pull on one's heartstrings.
.""Oh, come on in and tell me about it in detail, did that man I heard about from Posidon hurt you, tell me I'll kill him"".
Hera's eyes flashed brightly for an instant before quickly returning to normal becoming damper.
One Grim Reaper saw it and felt a chill in their bones.
Hera wiped her eyes as she walked towards the castle, without hesitation a path cleared for her and she was 'secretly' directed to the throne room by a few 'hidden' Grim Reapers of Hades.
Coming into the throne room Hera saw her big brother Hade for the first time in a long time in the flesh...bones...skeletal frame.
."It's been a long time Hera, I can't say I'm not extremely happy to see you."Hades said with the usual tone, he couldn't do anything about that.
Hera looked at him for a bit."*Sniffle* *sob* big brother!!!."She cried out as she ran towards him and jumped into his embrace.
Hades was caught off guard as all he could do was sit their dumbfounded, if he had a heart it might had skipped a beat in surprise and confusion, he didn't even know where to put his hand.
."..uhh...There there little..uh sister."Hades said patting her back awkwardly as the light of his skeleton eyes shook a bit."Te-tell big brother what's wrong."
Hera sniffled a little more then spoke."It was the Hindu Pantheon, I had heard rumors of you and big brother Posidon wanting to confront India, I just wanted to help a bit so I secretly went to India to gain information, and and..."She paused as she cried some more.
."What, you went there by yourself, how reckless, what happened while you were there!?."Hades asked getting heated as his eye lights brightened up.
Hera cried more."I met these strange Gods there and they gang up on me and bullied me and they said this is what *sniffle* what I get for being.. *sob* being a great whore of the greek *sniffle*."She said with heartbreak.
."....."Hades went silent, his eyes constricted to needle like orbs, he was beyond angered, they dare to unfair he, Hades little sister, he knew her better than anyone alive, she with her divinity was not even capable of being a whore even if she wanted to.
That made Hades mad."What else did they say to you, anything we can use against them?."He asked her for some information.
."Well *sniffle*..I don't know if..it's even true..but they did mention when I was pretending to be unconscious that they were planning an all out war on you and big brother Posidon in 29 days from now."Hera said looking up cutely.
Hades eyes flared."Oh, so that's their plan huh, that's why they haven't made a move on me as of yet, they wanted to make me lower my guard then send down all their might on me at once, hahahaha alright then, first to strike wins."He laughed out with fury.
Hera hugged him tighter as her expression turned cold and calculating.'Alright, that's it for him and big brother Posidon, 29 days, one day before husband's army make their move, this will created a big distraction and will be the first wave of destruction.'She thought as she squint her eyes licking her lips.
.'I should probably go and secretly attack a few of the other supernatural races and clans, maybe find a way to direct them to husband's 'side', they will be so surprised when it's actually husband that owns the world.'Hera though as she smiled.'This is my Ambition, to make my husband's Ambition a reality heh.'

*Dxd World*
*Human World*

*Kuoh Town*
*Haile's House*
*Early Morning*
*TimeSkip 1 week*(22 Days Before The War)
It was a peaceful day, nothing was going on as even the tides of the sea was low and calm, it was the perfect time to spend with the family and relax.
Nothing could break it apart, not even the fact that they were a multitude of women out to bring hell on earth in the form of a war and that the very man responsible was just chilling at home with his 'daughter/ little sister'.
It was Haile and Kunou's day today, they now laying on the couch together watching tv and eating some chips, Kunou was infront of him.
."*Chomp* Big brother *chomp* where *gulp* is all the sisters that are...
