" Guess Rachina and her Abyss Feeders are really that good at eliminating those S-Ranks. " 69 states as he still receives the message.
" That said, do not forget that the Black Shadows had gone far stronger as they had been operating in the Shadows for times long after the Abyss Tower. "
" With this, I hope we could decrease the number of the Hunters that will Hunt Ragna Current in the Tournament. "
" You sure hope to minimize the foes, 69... " Hundred tells him.
" Of course, I do..., I'm not as cocky as the Current One about this. "
" For I rather have the annoying parts get eliminated first while we're probably gonna deal with the difficult ones in the 'God Hunter Tournament'. "
" So, while the 'Hunters' are preparing, I believe we must cut them to size before they're ready, isn't that right? I hope it works! " 69 asks.
" Yeah, I hope so! " a voice comes behind him, as he flies with his Spiritual Form.
" Oh, Hundred. " 69 realizes it's him as he too accompanied him into the skies.
" What news? " 69 asks him which Hundred and then shows what he was notified with.

" That's a lot, to think the gods wouldn't notice thus far. " 69 states after seeing those results.
" But still, these are from the minor countries who had the Hunter Association within their arsenals since the Divine Inquisitors are not fully spread to those places. "
" Well, since Trinia, is the main country of this Timeline's earth. "
" I guess all efforts and resources must've been allocated there for the gods' purposes. " 69 gives his opinion.
" I agree, for at this timeline, I could see that besides Trinia, the only major powers are countries like the US, Japan, China, Korea, Russia, and those other powerful countries, including the United Kingdom and Germany before Zeus and Loki left that place to focus on Trinia. " Ragna Hundred tells as he agrees with 69.
" No wonder sometimes, dealing with the nations under the shadows is so easy, for I can see how defenseless it is sometimes. "
" But still, regarding your plan to 'minimize the opposition. " Ragna Hundred asks.
" Yes, already sent them there, but I believe we must deal with something, something that we should consider eliminating despite it hurts us. "
" Hurts us? " Hundred asks.
" Japan, the Fubuki Clan. " 69 tells.
" You know aside from the one we love, the others from that Clan needed to be eliminated because... "
" High Priestess Misaki and the other daughters, huh? " Hundred asks.
" You already sent the Shadows, I presume? "
" Already did. "
" They're on the way now. " 69 informs Hundred about it.
" Who do you send? If I remember from what Twelve told me, that nation is filled with Valkyries both in the sky, land, and sea. "
" Even Ragna Current's Uncle Andrew need to be so secretive during his time, assassinating the Grand Holy Priestess, didn't he? "
" Yes, I know... " Ragna 69 tells Hundred about it.
" That's why I chose Japan first, since our targets are currently not inside the country, but rather,... "
" Around the country's sea. "
" Sea? "
" Yes Hundred, in Niigata, you know. "
" The places for Yacht and Cruises community? "
" Huh? Which one? "
" Idiot, you forget! "
" You've been there, back in your Timeline, when you're having some time with those women you- "
" Oh, I get it, I get it! " Ragna Hundred understands, remembering his cheating days (freaking playboy he is back then).
"( That's where I made a party back then, but the whole ship was sunken when the 'Carla' in my Timeline find out and decided to sink the entire ship as she finds me partying with so many women. )"
"( I still remember my granddaughter's wrath back then, she really show her blasts very hard onto me back then, even dared to threaten me while her eyes are full of tears. )" Hundred remembers, he remembers the moment when Carla, uses her powers, pick him up from the very cruise into the skies, gripping his neck.
< Flashback Opened >
< Timeline: 100th Timeline >
< Location: Niigata Sea, Japan >
Carla is creeping Ragna (100)'s neck, in the skies of the very waters, where she destroys the whole ship with her blast, bringing the ship down along with the other people within, the men and women onboard.
" Carla... " Ragna calls her, seeing his granddaughter taking him into the skies, gripping his neck with one hand, her eyes filled with tears and hatred.
" Grandpa... "
" You play with women again? " Carla asks with a soft voice despite her angry tone.
She is very pissed, seeing her grandfather having fun with women while she, being the Divine Hero, the Divine Avatar of the gods, had to fight all her way to win the war against the demons.
But then, when she wants to return to her grandfather, she didn't find him at home, his mansion, but instead...
" I have been fighting all of my ways, to keep you safe..., to make you proud... "
" Serving the gods, in order to bring more blessing to our family, to you. "
" But what did I just see? While I'm fighting for our family's future... "
" You decided to play around with women again, for the hundredth time, in a luxury yacht no less!!! " Carla shouts in her wrath, her voice echoes around the place, which made the muscular bulk-like man that almost looks like the Hulk like Ragna here...
Can't say anything.
For there is nothing in the world that could correct him, whatever words he says won't even be possible to reduce Carla's wrath upon him.
" Carla... I... " Ragna tries to say anything, but can't say more, he is f*ked up, for Carla's strong grip over his neck hardens as her eyes glow.
*Carla still cries*
Ragna sees her eyes, suddenly remembering the earlier days when Carla was still a little girl, he remembers playing with her, seeing her happy face, that looks so bright, so bright with light like an angel.
" I...I... "
" 'Hikari'... " Ragna calls Ragna by her middle name 'Hikari' (Light).
As Ragna says that, Carla was suddenly surprised as she suddenly calms down, she realized that she's been hurting her grandfather so much.
* Carla finally snaps. *
After she snaps, she then descends into the water, she then uses her Gift Ability from the Divine the froze the water around her and then put Ragna down as she frees him.
* Carla sobs. *
She sees Ragna who is on the ground made by her ice ability, she creates a little land made of ice.
When she descends down, she couldn't take her sharp glare over her grandfather while her handshakes still thinking to try and punch her grandfather to death.
" Carla... " Ragna calls her.
" I can explain, I was... "
" There's nothing for you to explain..., I only believe what I see. "
" For there is nothing more that would make belief in you... "
" Curses, why are you still alive while everyone from your generation is already gone? "
" Instead of making your life more holy, you instead became more wild as you give more to your worldly desires. "
" Disgusting, even after having me, your d*k is still not satisfied, didn't it? "
" Carla, no... grandpa just... " Ragna stands up trying to approach and hold Carla, but...
" Enough, womanizer! "
" Don't you dare touch me! " Carla then unfreezes the ice below Ragna, making him splash unto the sea.
" Carla, what are you!? " Ragna calls her while she unfreezes the ice more, she glares at him while still feel with anger and sadness.
" To think I came from the likes of you pisses me. "
" A Divine Hero, the Avatar of the gods..., had a grandfather whose job is what, fighting around and having love with women everywhere. "
" Disgusting, you're such a disgrace to yourself, to your descendant, grandfather. " Carla makes a disgusted expression while Ragna couldn't say anything.
" I will suffer seeing your face no longer. " Carla drops her last tear.
" Goodbye, grandfather. "
" Go swim to your mansion, god knows if you got eaten by the sea creatures. "
" Take care of your health. " Carla flies, leaving Ragna in the sea as she leaves him there.
" Carla... " Ragna says while floating in the sea.
< Flashback Ended >
" Whew! " Ragna Hundred remembers the past, he still remembers clearly what transpired.
" To think that place would be mentioned again. "
" I hope you didn't send me there, I... "
" No, I don't, I already sent the Black Shadows there, our task is simply to monitor. " Ragna 69 says while telling Hundred to help him around while watching the Black Shadows' work.
( Meanwhile. )
< Location: System Space, System Resident Chamber #6 >
Ragna is currently on Circe's sofa along with Circe herself, he then wakes up so suddenly.
" What is it, boy?~ " Circe asks as Ragna wakes up, full of sweat.
" Shit, it's Hundred's Memories. " Ragna stands up from the sofa, immediately leaving Circe after he remembers the dream he just received.
" What's with him? " Circe asks after Ragna left her.
Ragna then went into the bathroom in the place, he takes a shower as he remembered the dream.
" F*k that Carla, she really is that strict, isn't she? " Ragna showers himself after remembering the dream.
" Besides that, seeing Hundred's memory, I began to wonder. "
" How the hell he swims back from the Japan Sea to his mansion, that place should've been islands away from where Carla left him. " Ragna wonders while putting his head onto the shower.
" And that kind of a granddaughter is what Twelve is asking me to make exist again, in my Timeline? "
" F*k my 'freedom' then. " Ragna swears as he continues his shower.
