Chaos Will Reign

Chapter Eight: Wrong House

"Okay." Anny speaks up to the new gods of Chaos. "So we've verified that the save data we stole from the Goddess of Lust and the God of All Suns were genuine. However, we still do not have the God of Wisdom's Divinity. Meaning that we have no idea if they're thinking up a plan against us, or not." She says.

"Hah. Got a bit ahead of yourself, huh brainiac?" The demonic brunette male looks at Suoh with a sly grin. "So much being the next God of Wisdom."

"Shut it." Suoh growls. "It's not like you're anything special yourself, Kaiser." He counters.

"Yeah? Well at least I have divine powers." Kaiser says with his widening grin.

"And what were you without them, again? That's right. A nobody." Suoh says.

Kaiser slams his hands on the table and stands up. "I'll kick your ass, kid!"

"Ooh, I'm so scared." He says sarcastically, but now getting a grin of his own. "You lose an argument, and the first thing you wanna do is fight? Maybe get yourself some thicker skin."

"Both of you, that's enough." Shannan says with a sigh. "Instead of fighting each other, why don't we actually come up with a plan, Suoh?"

Hearing Shannan, Suoh clears his throat, and focuses again. "Right... Well first, I believe it would be best to get the God of Wisdom's save data again."

"You already failed that. What makes you think it's a good idea to try it again?" Kaiser yawned.

Once again, the magenta haired male glares at the brunette. "Then why don't you provide us with a plan of attack?" He asked.

"I have a plan." Kaiser rises from his seat, and begins to walk out the door. "Attack." He says simply with a grin as he walks out of the room.

"Ugh..." Shannan sighs as he rubs his face in his palm. "Alright. So while he gets his ass handed to him, what is your plan, Suoh?"

"Well...Damien probably expects us to follow along with his plan. It's likely he would want us to ignore him and focus on shoring up our own powers." Suoh says.

"And you're positive about that?" Erii asked.

"Quite." He nods. "After all, going after Wisdom rather than power wouldn't be smart in a war. Which is why I believe it would be best to launch an attack on the Temple of Wisdom now, and get that Divinity." He explains.

"Makes sense." Shannan nods. Then should I make my way there?"

"No. I'll go myself." Suoh says.

"Oh? Why?" The black haired man asked.

"I was the one who messed up and put us in this situation. It's only right that I try and rectify it." He tells them.

"Well, if that's how you feel, I suppose we can't change your mind." Erii says. "Then I'll go with you. Someone needs to take that save data, after all."

"Alright." He nods, as the pair leave the room together.

"This is going to end badly for both of them, isn't it?" The red haired oni would ask as he leaned against the wall.

"Most likely, Dojimaru. Most likely..." Shannan answers one of his many retainers. "Where are the others?" He asked.

"Zira is in the training hall with LaRissa. And Genni is out studying uh...what was it again...? Astro-lo-gee...?" He seemed to have trouble with the word one of his fellow retainers used. He wasn't exactly the smartest guy, having been a wanderer for all of his life.

"Ahaha. I see. I believe you mean astronomy, the study of space." Shannan says with a chuckle. "Well, it's good to know everyone is still working hard."

Cutting away to Kaiser, who was making his way to the Temple of War. As he sauntered on in, the man immediately steps up to Lacie, who was sitting in her throne. "You've got some guts, coming here alone." Lacie would say with a grin.

"Lacie, Goddess of War, I, Kaiser Livius, demand a challenge!" He says, trying to make himself sound impressive.

"Nah." Lacie says with a shooing gesture of her hand. "You're not worth my time." She says.

"But I have the Divinity of Aileus, the God of All Suns." He says, glaring at her.

"So? You're not him." She says, leaning in her throne. "I'll warn you one last time. Turn tail and run. You're not worth my time."

This seemed to enrage Kaiser, as he grits his teeth. He would quickly position his hand, create a fire ball in his palm, and throw it at Lacie. However, it was surprisingly small for someone with divine powers. The attack fizzles out before it even reaches Lacie. This made the man realize that he was way out of his league now.

However, Lacie didn't even need to fight. Out of nowhere, somebody just straight up drop kicks him. He was sent flying from the force, as he quickly clears up his composure to see who did that. It was Lacie's wife, Everest. "You dare try to take MY Lacie's powers?!" She asked, very obviously enraged by Kaiser's trespassing.

"Ah, perfect timing, love." Lacie smiles, and gives her wife a nice shoulder rub. "Mess him up." She encourages her behavior, and snaps her fingers as a wrestling ring rises from the ground. Without warning, Lacie appears behind Kaiser and tosses him into the ring with Everest, then goes back to her corner to watch the match as if it was an actual wrestling match. "You got this, Everest!" She cheers and whistles.

I, the author, am not a wrestling watcher, so I will not try to explain what is happening in this scene. But I will tell you, the readers, that Kaiser is essentially getting his ass kicked by an adorable and fluffy Mountain Chimera. Rosie even randomly shows up to help her mom in beating him up. And Rosie's daughter, a 17 year old Chimera girl named Pebbles, joins the party next. And flying in from the top ropes, a random Desert Chimera known as Saiya flies in from the window, body slams Kaiser, then just dips. The wrestling match was just hilarious chaos, and ended with Kaiser getting thrown out the window by the combined strength of Everest and Rosie.

With that bit of entertainment wrapped up, Lacie comes back into the room with a smile. "Who's hungry? I cooked us dinner." She announces, as the wrestling ring would return to the lower level of the temple.
