A New Chapter For Ragna Kent
[ The Island of Aeaea, a land near Georgia. ]
It's been many days, weeks.
I checked the System telling me that this is April 2022.
As I saw that, I immediately responded by slashing the incoming Nymphs, some low-class tier Diviners from Olympus sent by an Olympian I tried to hunt.
" Punk ass Nymphs! " I said to them, as I killed the Nymphs using my bare hands.
< Mediocre Nymphs Killed >
< Congratulations, You Got an Achievement! >
< Achievement: [One Shotted a God Part I] >
" Wow, an Achievement, how unordinary? "
" 'One Shotted a God' huh? that's too kind for an achievement. " I said to the notifications.
" For the 'god', I One-shotted is just some Lower Born Diviner, not some proper well-known one. "
" Like the one, I'm hunting right now! " I said to the System while wiping out the waves of Nymphs with the usual
< Wave of Mediocre Nymphs cleared. >
< Congratulations you got a Reward >
" Hmmm? " I said to myself as I received it, but before I could see it.
" 'White Demon'!!!? " a voice calls my most famous alias the 'White Demon', I had another well-known alias like the 'God of Abyss Tower', but alas, the 'officials' decided to give me the 'White Demon' alias to demonize me.
" Well, I'm technically a Villain myself, right? How ironic. " I said to myself, knowing from the public moral and perspective that an unknown being like me is a villain for the society and the officials, also...
For the gods that ruled them, the Diviners.
But not just that, regarding myself, is technically a psychopath whose powers come by killing monsters every day and doing it with joy as I get more powerful and as my strength grows.
The power and strength that now enables me, to fight the gods, the Diviners.
" You Diviners are really that wary of anything outside than your kin, huh? " I tell to myself as I used
After some 'readjustments', to my own skill set...
I think things had gone simple for me after the System finally fixed some of its stupid features.
Like the [Punishment Zone]*, I learned that it was made by the 'Yakan Curse'* who somehow penetrated the System's defense to make that feature, to torture me.
Oh how I did not miss that thing, that goodness Behemoth swallowed it or her, she is a woman beside her monstrous fox spirit looks of hers. Damn my experience with her back then was a disaster, it ruined my fantasy regarding Fox Spirits, particularly Kitsune Spirits.
But that's not all, after I completed the [Abyss Tower], I'm finally learning to be free of the weaknesses that hold my progress for years, and become so strong that I could finally fight the gods without any help from Twelve, even though...
" Ragna, hello! " Twelve comes to me, as we were amid another incoming Wave.
" Yes, Twelve... " I politely greet him, my Previous Timeline Self from the 12th Timeline, he who is responsible for giving me the opportunity in the past, I believe around 'two hundred chapters plus of my life and development'.
Those training, torture, leveling, pain, and regret...
I remembered it all, especially since after the Abyss Tower falls.
I know more things regarding how that Tower even appeared on Earth in the first place, after killing some of the Asgardian Lower Diviners before hunting this particular Olympian.
" This waves of Nymphs, based on the quantity, then there's no doubt about it. " Ragna 69 says as his Spiritual Forms come out.
" That 'woman' is here, currently residing on this island, imprisoned by the Olympians. " Ragna 69 tells me.
" Imprisoned, 69? " Ragna 100 comes as he shows his Spiritual Form.
He gazed around the incoming Nymphs and rubs his chin, immediately looking at 69 and debating him regarding his conclusion.
" Are you sure she's imprisoned, here? " Ragna 100 tells 69 as he sees the incoming wave of Nymphs.
" Well, isn't that what the information we gathered says about that person's current condition? " Ragna 69 asks.
" I and the Black Shadows had scoured many places regarding this place you know, since I believe we could use her help. " Ragna 69 says as he tells the other Ragnas, including me, about our target.
" She is the lower Diviner that I know can use human Magic. "
" After all, she is one of the 'Aether' users, so... " Ragna 69 stops there which I immediately interrupt.
" That's why her Divine Powers could harmonize with the Mana of the World, right? " I asked back to 69, recounting that the Divine Powers and Mana tend to fight each other, for the Divine Power and the Deviant Power is a force not from the Universe as the Diviners and Deviants brought it from their very realms.
But the person we targeted here, can use both of them despite being a 'Diviner' and conveniently, she is an 'Aether' user like me, and my previous Selves here also shared the 'Aether' with me.
To sum it short, the Aether is the power of those who had experienced death many times, it is a variant of the Mana Energy, but can only be used by those who are clung to death more than the living.
It is still unknown to us about the Aether's origin or more about its use, most that I know is that the original owner of the 'Dainsleif Sword' is the one who is well-known for using it.
As I think about this, I then take a sigh for my mind gets dizzy when discussing the 'Aether', our knowledge about it is still just theories we gathered over its use.
" Fuck this, about thinking the Aether. "
" After all when using it, I only know one thing... "
" 'Emerge'! " I said to myself while summoning the
< All Black Shadows Summoned >
" Clear the path! " I ordered them all as they ravage the incoming Nymphs who were said to 'guard' the island.
" That's brutal. " Ragna 69 says, as he sees it.
" There's more to come, 69! "
" If you don't wanna see the gory details of this battle, then please show me the way. " I politely ask 69 to quickly show me to the target ASAP.
" Right away, my boy-self...! " Ragna 69 says to me.
" This way... " he goes first while I and the two other Ragnas (in their spiritual form) follow him.
...
( Meanwhile. )
" It seems I got a visitor. " a woman says as she sees it from inside her place.
" To think someone would come here fully unaffected with my charm enchantment spread all over this island of mine," she says while chuckling.
" So this is who they called the 'White Demon', huh? " said the woman.
" No wonder those other Olympians want to apprehend him, he's so cool! " the woman says as she sees the Mirror that lets her see all things happening inside her very island.
...

[Divine Curse: Yakan's Heavenly Restriction] or the 'Yakan Curse' is the Curse that the Fox Goddess of Thunder, Indura gave to Ragna on September 6th, 2015 when she tortured him. It is unknown if she did it for reasons or just for sports.
This curse is finally devoured by Ragna using Black Shadow Behemoth per his
* The Aether:
If you do not know what is the Aether, then it's technically a mysterious source of energy that Ragna Twelve and the previous Timeline Ragnas knew. The Aether was first acquired in Chapter 40: Dainsleif (3), after Ragna (MC) acquired the Dainsleif Sword.
It is the source of power for summoning the [Black Shadows], more details about it are still unknown for I assure you, as the Author, only some numbers of characters, including the MC, that had the Aether, others like Galen Stinger and the person I will introduce you in this chapter are one of those who gets it at one moment, a moment so rare happened to everyone in this Webnovel's universe.
