"Where are we going?" the new guy, wearing the black and white suit, asked as we walked into the pub filled with half naked humans, wolves and vampires. Though there was little trace of zombies, it wasn\'t enough to find anything.
"Walter. Don\'t ask so many questions… I don\'t have answers to begin with," I spoke as I looked around to collect as much information as I could.
"I thought you were omnipotent or something… didn\'t you change the entire reality according to your own will by killing Alissa?" Walter asked as he looked at me a bit confused while he turned to my other subordinate for a couple of seconds.
"I am not too sure about that… " I spoke as I myself was confused by this whole thing.
"Invidia. Are you sure the current ruler of this planet is in this place?" I asked Invidia, the Oracle of Location, to find out about this whole stupid thing.
Walter was with me because he kept his memories because of his whole regression thing, while Invidia… well, her all-seeing eyes allowed her to see bits about me, becoming a permanent servant once again.
Getting into the pub bar where people sold their flesh for lust, I looked around as I tried finding traces of Cessation Energy around the area. Though it was minor, it led me to the second floor, where I could see many guards stationed.
"Excuse me, sir… children are not allowed here… is he with you?" One of the armed guards, with guns in his hand, looked at me before turning to Walter with a bit of annoyance.
Though before he could speak anything, I moved a bit closer to him as I put my hands in my pocket before speaking,
"Take us to your superior."
My eyes gray, my voice at a higher frequency, I used a bit of my energy to mind control him, and obediently he nodded before he started moving in a certain direction.
I turned to find out one of the men here was trying on Invidia before he touched her and fell on the ground unconscious… permanently.
"Geez… deadly…" Walter commented as he winked at Invidia before the duo started following behind me. I simply sighed as I walked behind the bodyguard without speaking anything.
He took us to the first floor, where another guard, this time a Lycan, stood there as he looked down at me.
"Take me to your superior," I spoke again and his eyes turned mellow as he nodded before he too turned around and took us to the second floor. This wasn\'t that hard, was it? As for Walter and Invidia, they both simply walked behind me without speaking much anymore.
"Is there anything wrong?" I asked Walter. Normally he would make a comment of sorts, but him being serious wasn\'t a good sign either.
"Something is going to happen here," he spoke as he sighed before turning to me as he continued,"I am looking at the deaths of at least half the people here…"
His answer made me smile a little. Well, it was boring, so a little action would actually be good. I then moved to the second floor where I found a bunch of vampires enjoying with a bunch of humans…. Nothing that I would find interesting.
"Hey! What\'s a kid doing here?" One of the men there looked at me with confusion as all three of us moved closer to him. Though looking at his power levels… nah! He was pathetically weak.
"Walter. I will leave the interrogation to you… try to find anything related to Zombies or Dark Oracle… if they exist in this reality, that is," I spoke as he nodded before a smile appeared on his face as well.
Meanwhile, I moved to the railing looking at the club down there from a height.
\'I don\'t understand what these lowlives find in these kinds of places. All they do is move their body and sing a little with an obnoxiously loud noise. This is irritating…
"I wonder if I should find Kira and mess with him a little," I muttered under my breath with a slight smile as I sighed. Even Michael, who was supposed to entertain me, hadn\'t taken any action that would make him famous or traceable.
I thought Invidia would be able to trace him, but alas she failed too. Though it made things only more interesting…
"But the searching part is boring me as hell-" I was ranting as I saw the same man being thrown down the railing from right behind me as he hit the floor down there
-Boom!
Hitting the ground, a crater was created as the guy groaned in pain. His eyes filled with blood. I saw most of his body was charred black.
"I assume you got the information?" I turned around, only to find one of the men running towards me with his hands turned into claws.
"[Shatter]" I commanded in a divine voice, breaking his claws into small pieces all up to his arm. Divine Voice was a gift to anyone who had ascended beyond the mortal realm. As long as they use a bit of their divine energy they can command anything in the mortal realm… in other words, if not included Michael, the current ruler of this world and that other person… I am close to an undefeatable God in this world.
"Kind of… Though it\'s kind of odd," Walter spoke as he seemed a bit confused. His eyes looked in a certain direction as he walked slowly, reaching beside me while his eyes kept gazing at the bartender who was previously serving and flirting with the women down there. Though right now, his eyes were looking at the fallen guy with a scared and terrified look.
"It\'s him… he is the leader of The Vintage…" Walter spoke as he pointed at the guy without any change in his confused expression.
"Is that so?... hmmm… let\'s see… [Reveal]!" I used a bit of extra Divine energy in this. Just being extra cautious, to be honest.
And what was revealed… was beyond what I could have imagined.
The waiter\'s mask came off as his entire look changed, from the previously normal human look with no significant energy to something far more ferocious.
"A demon from the Nether realm…" I muttered as I saw him looking at his changed appearance. His entire face had turned an ugly red, with two horns and wings sprouting out of his head and back, respectively. People around him began noticing him and a scared expression appeared on their faces as they began shouting and running away.
Though the demon didn\'t make any move as he looked at himself confused before he turned around. He was, in fact, quite calm about it.
"Walter. Invidia. Step back. I will handle this one," I spoke, turning at both of them. I sighed as I saw fear in their eyes before jumping down to the ground floor.
Surprisingly, someone beat me to getting near to him… it was a man carrying a silver sword as he tried to slash the demon down. His eyes were blue while his hair was golden yellow… reminded me of that Alissa girl…
His eyes turned to me for a brief second as he moved in front of me in a flash as he spoke,"Get out of here kid! It\'s not safe here!"
Eh? Is he an idiot or something? Who does something like that in this day and age?
"Aren\'t you basically begging to be killed by trying to protect someone and fight a monster like him?" I spoke as I moved beside that blondie.
"Well blondie… move. He is anything you can handle…" I spoke as I cracked my fingers but that blondie… sigh… he jumped at that demon again with all his force.
\'He is using Holy Energy, huh? Maybe he has a chance… a tiny chance\' I thought as I observed blondie reaching closer to the demon, who had finally finished daydreaming. That demon turned to that blondie and…
-BOOOM!!!!
Punched him away without much effort. It was like an elephant punching a dog or something…
"Well. He deserved that," I spoke as I was about to take another step but…
-Whoosh!
That blondie jumped again as his eyes turned golden, while his clothes were oozing out a golden light. Moving almost at the speed of sound, he jumped around as he attacked that demon, while also destroying the property around… the fight began in an instant and..
-BOOOM!
With a single punch from the demon… It was over in an instant, too. Hmmm… he used Cessation Energy? I looked at the demon with much more interest as he slowly moved towards blondie.
"I assume you are the one who revealed my appearance," the demon spoke as he turned at me while he was moving towards the blondie one step at a time. That blondie was out cold unconscious… well, he was asking for that…
"It is amusing to see people with strange powers every now and then. To think someone would be able to remove Lord Cable\'s illusion… Well, let me just take out the trash first… After that we will get to business," he spoke as he reached the blondie and began channeling Cessation Energy in his hand as he prepared for a finishing punch… but before he could do that…
"Now now… let\'s not cross the line, shall we?" A familiar yet unfamiliar voice was heard… he stood there behind the gate… in his hand was the arm of that demon with which he was about to punch…
