It was in the middle of the Mediterranean that our earth shaking battle continued, this time with Oceanus taking the lead after I sent Cronos into orbit.
Usually I would avoid entering a God's domain, but this time I had no choice. The two Titans are honestly more than what I can handle on my own and even then I am somehow holding on.
The entirety of the Mediterranean rose like a grasping hand aiming to crush me within its depths.
"This is horrifying to look at but honestly it's more show than substance."
It doesn't matter if even the entirety of the world's oceans were to come down upon me for the solution will remain the same…
"Ice Age!"
I used an Emperor Ranked spell inspired from the Mushoku Tensei Universe. It slows all water particles within an area defined by the caster's magic input and by doing so turn the water into ice.
"Hmm, I might have started a minor ice age…"
Before I can do much more Cronos uses a temporal flux to teleport and so our song and dance resumed.
Oceanus might be more powerful than I am, but relying on magic alone, I remain confident that I can defeat him. The problem is that I have no perfect counter for Cronos for he deserves his place as the King of the Titans.
Currently Cronos is the greatest winner in our battle unlike Oceanus who has yet to land a single good hit on me.
Cronos used his power over Time to replicate an aspect of Sarra's Decay, that being temporal decay, something I am susceptible to due to my lacking true physical immortality.
My regeneration helped me slow the process of aging but even then it simply cannot keep up with Cronos' offence, with each hit I suffer I also lose years if not decades of life.
And as if things could not get any worse Hyperion decided that his brothers had me handled and so he shifted his attention towards my army.
Thankfully I had countermeasures in place in the form of my godly descendants. They are by no means his equals but as long as Hyperion refrained from transforming into his True Form they are enough to keep him in check.
And indeed he never took on his True Form for the simple reason that he has yet to glimpse the one who has become his nightmare, that being my beautiful Sarra.
In truth he has the right of it, for if he were to bring forth his true self and then die at her hand then his death will be permanent.
Back on my end it might have only been about ten minutes since our battle began but at our power levels this can be considered an abnormally long battle, especially when both my opponents outclass me.
I changed from my favorite weapon, the spear to the sword, then I allowed the sea to drag me to its depths. This time I intend to deal with Oceanus before Cronos can once more intervene.
Oceanus is a special God for he is an Elder God. Elder Gods are special in that they are the closest thing to the Primordials, this fact is most apparent due to them most often being a sapient part of a Primordial.
In this case Oceanus is quite literally the water of Earth, Earth I would remind you refers to the Primordial Gaia.
Oceanus is quite literally the oceans, the lakes, and every other drop of water that ever was a part of this planet, to fight an Elder God is almost as foolish as attempting to anger a Primordial.
Then the question becomes how can I deal with him, and the answer is deceptively simple, all I need is to be able to affect all of the earth's water at once.
After all, Oceanus as an Elder god is linked to an element and so he has defined weaknesses. For example I could freeze all of the earth's water and whilst it would not end him it would both slow and weaken him if only temporarily. I could also force the world's water to evaporate, but this would inevitably kill far more of the world's remaining life than I am comfortable with.
So freezing the nuisance it is.
I once more invoked my "Ice Age" spell but this time I allowed it to affect over half of the world.
This is enough to keep Oceanus out of the fight, after all it is impossible for me to kill him without killing every other being on earth.
Hyperion noticed what I had done to his brother and tried to help him recover faster but my godly children continued to get in his way.
This leaves Cronos as my only opponent but frankly I can't beat him, physically he is stronger due to his Titan side, and in terms of remaining energy he is still fresh even if his attacks are energy intensive.
Then again I never intended to win…
I felt my army teleport away along with my Godly children and that was exactly what I was waiting for…
I allowed Cronos to close the distance but this time I did not fight back. No, I allowed his scythe to cut my head off, and in that very moment all the remaining energy in my body was released in the form of a star going supernova, burning his skin off and releasing enough force that his bones shattered.
The phenomena I unleashed continued for a few minutes with Cronos unable to escape my trap.
Once all the energy was expended all could see the King of the Titans was a sorry mess.
This would have been the perfect moment for the Olympians to step in and finish him off but of course it couldn't be so easy.
The number one most spoiled brat of Olympus believed that he could defeat his father without outside help.
Stupid? Oh, absolutely! Did I expect this to happen? No… Zeus is proud but he is also an opportunist, this is obviously the effect of the Fates interfering.
Every pantheon is bound by fate or rather the will of the DxD world, due to that gods are especially susceptible to the makenations of Fate.
Cronos used his power to reverse the time of his body thus undoing all my efforts.
Then again do I care? The answer is No, I don't care about the affairs of the Greeks as long as they leave me and mine alone and with the titan faction as weak as it is currently I don't expect any trouble from them any time soon.
I retracted my sight and returned my focus to where my real body was the entire time, a little cottage in the mountains where I go when I want to be left alone.
Confused? Oh well you see even worlds away I can create avatars of myself so why not do the same here and avoid the risks that come with fighting beings more powerful than I am.
Heh… Didn't see that coming did you?!
I sprawled back on my bed analyzing the battle I just went through, playing back every major mistake and every inspired move on my part but I soon grew bored and decided to teleport to the domain of my Godly children to give them their reward.
…
Gods are by nature proud beings, one's character does not matter for when they become a God Pride becomes an integral part of them, they can try to repress or hide it but it won't change the fact that Gods see themselves as being naturally superior.
This applies to my own Godly descendants which is another reason I did not want my children to ascend. In their case they know full well that even united I can crush them all single handedly so instead of challenging my authority directly they instead present me with demands in the guise of requests. Worst is when I call upon them, like this time, for they turn even more insufferable.
This event is one of them, for even if I lack divinity of my own I still represent the domains of Fertility and Motherhood due to my being the parent of almost all of the Valyrian pantheon, in the eyes of their worshipers and so the world I am the Mother Goddess of Valyria and so for more gods to rise they most come from me.
An annoying conundrum all of my own making for when I granted them a territory to rule over and people to worship them I included myself in their mythos for my amusement only for my action to come back and bite me in the ass.
Now I have no choice but to fulfill my role or let the pantheon, in which I invested so much, stagnate. The worst part is that since I am not a god my children are more often than not born as DemiGods.
As soon as I arrived I could feel every God stripping me naked with their eyes, after all I am their reward.
I made my way to the middle of the room where a massive bed laid with every God molesting me as I walked by them.
As I reached the foot of the bed two Goddesses Viserra, Goddess of Love, Beauty and Sex, and Tyria Goddess of Marriage, Contracts and Binding walked towards me and started removing my garments one by one.
One of the things I love most about this second life is the fact that I can enjoy both sides of the bed as both a man and a woman, as a man I expect my women to serve and obey me and in turn I do the same to my partners when I represent the fairer sex. That is why I surrendered to Tyria's bindings and Viserra's forced arousal.
As soon as I was bound all the men surrounded me, exploring my body, kissing and licking me all over.
On the other hand the women cuddled and supported me in whatever way they could.
The first to take the plunge was Aegon the presumed king of the pantheon, and so a week-long marathon started where I would emerge as the soon to be mother of twins.
As soon as the men had their fill of me it was my turn to ravage the Goddesses with the exception of Tyria as she is married to Aegon and due to her domains she was unable to partake.
I left Valyria carrying two and four in the oven of others.
Hmm, I don't know what this says about their prowess in bed.
…
Creating a society where people are sexually free was one of my better ideas but returning to my home palace with two divine seeds clearly growing inside me still draws eyes, because yes I am carrying two gods this time and this turned the gossip mongers wild.
On the very day of my return everyone and by that I mean everyone in every single territory under me learned of the news.
But there was one person that wasn't happy and that was Sarra, she gets easily jealous, but that wasn't the reason for her vexation, no it is the disrespect of the Valyrians for they all but demanded this outcome in exchange for their aid.
I saw things differently, true they were disrespectful and arrogant but I always expect that from them. Instead I see things the same way I do political marriages, they're not perfect but they work for a reason.
Our relationship is based on give and take, I allow their pantheon to grow through me and they continue to serve me. If not for the current state of things I would expect them to try to break off entirely or at worst betray me and my faction.
If the worst ever happened then I would mercilessly eradicate them as I have with the many who have taken a path of no return.
Truly Gods are more trouble than they are worth, but I can't bring myself to end them without concrete cause.
At this point I can only allow things to continue as they are.
…
I have recently left the Naruto multiverse looking for another world that could interest me but in the meantime I kept an eye on how the Great war is progressing.
People have yet to give this multi pantheon war its name or even acknowledge that it started, but for the last century the number of conflicts that exist across the many pantheons have escalated in number.
Thanks to my sight I am the best one suited to observe these happenings. That is why I have started to feel that soon the Great War will start in earnest.
As I turned my sight to the Underworld I saw something that truly angered me.
Lucifer, long aware of my existence and what I represent and believing me to have fallen at Cronos's hand, was mustering his forces for an attack on my dimension.
Author's note:
Hey guys sorry for the delay but for those who don't know I had Food Poisoning. Truly I was terrified, the pain the blood... I almost when to the hospital but thankfully things started to calm down on the third day.
Anyway this is officially the start of the Great War, I was originally planing to have Lucifer attack while the MC was away, then I changed my mind to immediately after her fall, but I decided to add a bit of spice so a few days after the sudo Titanomachie.
I will be updating a lot more often now to stay tuned!
Also I know that some might not like the part where she has to trade herself for the Valyrian God's help but I tried to make things a bit more realistic within DxD so sex for help.
Also this is basically an SI and I absolutely would love to experience both sides of the coin, I am not gay trust me I checked and honestly just no, just kissing a gay friend of mine was the most I have ever been able to stomach, but being able to have the best of both sides that I would love.
I don't know how to write sex from a women's perspective but next time it will be from a man's perspective. Sarra's going to be rewarded wink, wink.
