Cursed by Randomness

Ch.74 [ Place to call home? ]

As William and DxD had long since finished bathing in the Onsen. Which took them few hours, now. Now they found themselves in an underworld which was currently barren.

"So, why are we here?" Will asked DxD as they stood in middle of nowhere. "Quite simple, while I cannot directly interfere anymore with others. You being an exception as you aren't leeching energy from me.

I prepped this space beforehand for you. Because you still have Divinity, right? Or did you lose- " at her sentence he simply flared up his Divinity as she smiled and looked a bit at it. "Okay. You still have your Divinity but... it seems half-assed? You lost a lot of attributes that it had."

She spoke as William only looked at it with raised brow. "Really? It feels normal to me?" He spoke to her as she enveloped herself in Divinity too.

But William instantly felt. It was as if he could smell it like an odour.

It felt like ocean and storms. As it shortly changed its smell to warmth and flames. Radiance and purity.

"That's what I mean. Nevertheless we are getting sidetracked-" She extended her arm and showed to the barren lands "- this realm I prepped beforehand is a Realm of Death connected with every other realm under my palms. I made it to make it easier for you to travel, as even now I'm running low on plausibility."

She finished as one could notice that her vessel was becoming tad transparent. "And also, due to outside influence the Reincarnation/Natural cycle of order was damaged and I needed a relatively speaking safe 'medium'. Where I plan to use you as kind of a... Executing guillotine for anyone who dares enter here. Who's not native to clarify if you wanna grab me by the words later."

She finished her sentence with tired expression "So do me a favor, and decorate it a bit as if it was meant to be a nice realm."

Saying so, she disappeared completely as William only nodded leisurely and sat down. After few minutes of thinking, he stood up and started making gentle and smooth movements around as the landscape itself started changing.

After what for one could feel like hours, there was a group of 'people' gathered by the realm William was now 'governing' over.

They observed how he was slowly and calmly painting the visage of this realm to his liking, and as such. They waited for him to finish, which seemed closer than further.

And it's not like each Pantheon is interested in their Gods governing in realms of Death. Leaving them to much more freedom.

"Looks quite... lively?" A female goddess spoke as they all looked around. Everything was made with usage of both concepts of Life and Death in this place. Instead of only death, like usually other gods did.

The plants were filled with both, showcasing it with their black yet lively leaves. The grass all around was vibrant green, the trees bark was usual brownish colour.

A water lake was pure so pure, that the only indication that a water is there. Was a pack of duckies happily swimming in it. Truly, the whole area looked like plains, forest and a lake or two mixed to create a unique scenery.

Slowly as the lonely god who danced and built everything all around them slowly ceased his smooth and slow dance, he made last gentle hand motion as a small wooden hut was created in front of him. 

"I apologise for making you wait, but you arrived in middle of my work."

William turned to all the numerous Death Gods. First one to 'step forward' was Hades with a question "Whose child are you?" He scrutinised his eyes, which everyone somehow could tell even if he was a skelly right now.
