Chapter 241:
The world has changed quite a bit in the last year…
[That tends to happen when a giant interdinsional alien spaceship attacks the planet.]
The kids were currently napping and the majority of won in the house were preparing for tonight's party.
I was currently sitting on my couch glancing at the news. The news in this world is a lot more exciting and interesting than my last life. Apparently, ever since I'd arrived in this world, the news hardly ever spoke about boring politics anymore. Why should they bother talking about old n who only make false promises, when there are actual superheroes running around the world making a difference and doing cool shit?
“Hi, Layla. Watching the news? Anything interesting?” Rias asked . She had walked in the room with Natasha. The two redheads were truly a beautiful pair when standing side by side.
I patted the two spots next to inviting them to join. “Nothing yet. Just a lot of speculation about what Stark Industries and Fallcorp have planned now that we have a successful Moonbase. Can you believe so experts are actually speculating we're going to stripmine the Moon!?” I asked.
“Well… Are you planning on stripmining the moon?” Natasha asked as she sat down.
I shook my head vehently. “No, of course not! The moon's too beautiful to exploit it for resources. There's plenty of other celestial bodies to exploit instead. Maybe Mars, or even Venus. As long as there's secretly no life on either of those planets…” I trailed off.
Rias laughed as she sat down on my other side. “I think we would know if there were aliens living in our own solar system.” She said.
And yet, we're in Marvel. It wouldn't surprise even a little bit at this point if there was secretly life there.
“I've portaled to Mars and even walked around, but I never did an in depth exploration. I haven't been to Venus yet at all.” I told them. It was sothing for future Layla to investigate.
As we were talking, I noticed the story on the TV changed. I turned up the volu when I saw what it was about.
“In other news: Last night, the new Vigilante, known as Spiderman, discovered a warehouse filled with over $10 million in heroin. The vigilante subdued all of the ard n inside before calling the police to co arrest them. As always, there were no fatalities or heavy injuries to any of the criminals. J Jonah Jason, with the Daily Bugle, has been referring to the new hero as a ‘nace’ ever since Spiderman first appeared in our fine city, but this reporter thinks Spiderman has been doing a great job so far! Keep up the good work Spidey!”
Good for Peter Parker. His reputation was rock solid right now. He definitely has a much better reputation than the Punisher or Daredevil did when they started out.
Daredevil didn't kill people either, but he did put plenty of thugs in the hospital with so pretty heavy injuries.
As for the Punisher… I tried to turn Frank away from his path, but the death of his wife proved too much for him to completely let go of his hatred. He's not as bloodthirsty as he would be in Canon, since I saved his kids, but he still goes out on patrol at least once a week and racks up multiple bodies. I'm pretty sure SHIELD lets him get away with it because the guys he takes down are the real scum of the Earth. Or they just don't want to arrest him because they think he's friends (sort of) with .
[You just wanted Frank on the Avengers because you thought he was cooler than Hawkeye!]
‘He totally is, though! Bows in real life are la! If Hawkeye at least had a magic bow, that would be a different story.’ I replied.
[You could easily get him one.]
‘Nah, too much effort for a guy I barely know. He also doesn't like that much because Natasha is his best friend and she's a mber of my harem…’
[...And because you took away her humanity. Don't forget that part.]
I wasn't going to let Natasha stay human and die of old age. She was either going to beco an Asgardian or a Fallen Angel. She chose the latter because she thought being able to fly sounded fun.
It absolutely is! I can't wait till she gets her sixth pair of wings so we can fly in space together! She's actually pretty close. She was already enhanced when I turned her and she imdiately beca a four winged Fallen.
“…For our main topic today, we will be discussing the growing religious movent that started a year ago and has taken the world by storm! Over 30 million people around the world have already officially converted and now directly worship–”
I pointed the remote at the TV and turned it off… I had no interest in that second story…
[You were the one who wanted to officially beco a Goddess…]
‘I know… I just didn't think I'd have any actual worshippers outside of the people from Earth DxD-C.’ I replied. My whole objective was to use that world to farm Faith Energy, not this one.
[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]
I was drawn out of my thoughts when I felt Rias cuddling closer up to . “Spiderman… Hmmm? What do you think his powers are?” Rias knew the topic on the TV upset and tried to take my mind off of it. She really was a very caring young woman, and a lot smarter than people made her out to be. She even regularly beats grandmaster Sona at chess!
“If his na is anything to go by, he probably has all the abilities of a spider, but scaled up to human size. He should be incredibly fast and strong. There's also footage of him also being able to walk on walls. We suspect he is using the Van der Waals effect. The eggheads at SHIELD have absolutely no idea how, though. It shouldn't be possible with masses that large.” Natasha explained.
“Do you think he shoots webs out of his butt?” Rias asked with a small laugh.
“That would be hilarious if he can.” I started giggling at the image in my mind of Spiderman swinging around New York upside down, holding his webs with his butt cheeks.
“Do you know who Spiderman is, Layla?” Natasha asked . At this point, she had co to accept that I sohow knew every single person's secret identity.
To be fair, I pretty much did. “I do, why?” Natasha gave an exasperated look that pretty much said ‘of course you do!’
“SHIELD is interested in his identity and his powers. He has such a diverse power range that we don't suspect that he's a mutant. He must have gotten his abilities from sowhere else.” Natasha said.
“You're right, he's not a mutant. I do know who he is, but I'm not going to tell SHIELD. Spider-Man is just a 14-year-old boy. There's no need to throw him off the deep end when he's perfectly fine handling street-level cri for now.” I explained.
Natasha was surprised to hear that, but let it drop once she did. “Never mind then. I'll tell Fury not to bother.” On principle, SHIELD did not bother recruiting anyone under the age of 16, and even then they were never allowed to see combat until they were 18. They were still a governnt organization, and they could be sued to oblivion if they were caught utilizing child soldiers. “We were under the impression he was so kind of martial arts expert with years of infiltration training under his belt…”
“Nope, it's just his powers at work along with a lot of luck that’s made him this effective so far.” I told her. “It's pretty impressive when you think about it.”
…Seriously, how does Spiderman always stumble upon cris at the perfect tis? Most muggings or break-ins only last 30 seconds to a minute tops. Most murders in this world are committed as acts of passion – they happen within seconds! And yet, sohow, Peter is always in the right place at the right ti to save people. He has so serious divine intervention looking over his shoulder!
Spiderman wasn't soone I wanted to approach right now because of that. I'm not sure how I stack up against Madam Web currently, and until I am, it was safer to just leave Peter to his own devices. Spiderman was focusing on street cri mostly anyway. Nothing he did was actually making a big splash in the world. Outside of New York, he was hardly ever even ntioned in the news.
“Has shield successfully been able to recruit any mutants yet?” I asked Natasha.
“A couple, but none of them are actual powerhouses. They wouldn't be the right fit to add to the avengers roster. Our biggest issue is that either that terrorist Magneto gets to them first or they get inducted into Charles Xavier's little cult masquerading as a school.”
As It turns out, SHIELD isn't very trusting of the most powerful telepath in the world running a school for super powered children. They also don't like that he, as a civilian man, was operating his own secret strike Force and waging a secret war against Magneto and his terrorists. And they really didn't like that professor X's strike Force was almost entirely composed of child soldiers.
Akeno's girlfriend Jean was only 8 years old when Charles “convinced” her parents that it was better that he raised their daughter in his mansion.
To be honest with myself, I've never been that trusting of Charles as a character either. With my ta knowledge I was one of the few people alive who actually knew that Charles Xavier murdered his infant sister in his mother's womb, because she “felt evil” to him. How does a baby even know what evil feels like?
[To be fair towards him, his sister does turn out evil in the comics. She could even be out in the world right now committing so horrible acts.]
Yes, but I would turn out evil too if my twin brother murdered my body in the womb…
Natasha stood up and stretched. “I need to help Artemis and Hestia start setting up for the party and check on the kids.” She said. She was such a great surrogate mother!
…I know she wanted a child of her own, but we decided to wait a little longer. Three children were already difficult to manage as it was. Thank Father for Hestia and Frigga always being ho to help out.
“When's the party officially starting?” I asked.
“I texted everyone for you, it'll start at 7. Why? Are you going out sowhere?” Natasha asked .
“I'm going to go and invite Yasaka and her daughters. I'll make sure to be back before then.” I said.
Rias perked up. “You're going to Kyoto on the other Earth? Can I go!?” Rias asked. “Yasaka is the only one of your lovers that Sona and I haven't t yet.” Rias said.
I thought about it for a mont before I answered. “That was only because you and Sona were both pregnant, and I didn't want to risk either of your safety. I've told you that the Devils on Earth DxD aren't well-liked. For a good reason…”
Rias cringed. “I can't believe they actually eat human souls… That's absolutely vile. The fact that there's another version of out there who might even be doing that right now makes sick!” She spat out.
I opened up a portal to Kyoto on Earth DXD. We appeared in the backyard of Yasaka’s main house. The second we stepped through, a small blonde missile ca hurling through the air towards !
“Layla!” The younger Kunou yelled my na cheerfully as she slamd into . “I missed you!”
“I was here just last week, but I missed you too, floofy girl.” I said while placing my hand on top of her head and gently scratching behind her fox ears. Kunou started purring adorably. Her nine tails were weighing behind her and excitent.
“Ara, is that my mate I sense? And who did you bring with you?” Yasaka opened the sliding door of her ho and joined us in the backyard.
“Hello, Yasaka. I ca here with Rias… The good one I ntioned before! Not the evil one!”
Yasaka gave a tender smile before her eyes moved to Rias. I noticed my foxy lover stiffened up montarily and even bared her fangs at Rias. She snapped out of it and shook her head before she relaxed.
“...My apologies, you certainly do resemble Rias Gremory. I apologize for my attitude towards you just now. Welco to my ho.” Yasaka said while bowing to Rias.
“Well, I AM Rias Gremory, but I understand what you an. I've heard all about the Devils in this universe, and frankly, they disgust . The sooner they're wiped out, the better.” Rias said, completely serious.
Yasaka's eyes widened at her declaration. “On that we agree, at least.” She said before turning back to . Her tails were wagging in excitent behind her just like her daughter. “So what brings you here today? Did you miss ? Did you want to have a steamy threeso with myself and this gorgeous redhead here?”
“MOOOOM! T-M-I !!!” Kunou whined as she let go of and pouted up at her mother. “I'm not supposed to know about that kind of stuff yet, I'm only 13!”
Yasaka covered her mouth and giggled. “Ara, don’t pretend to play innocent in front of Layla, my darling daughter. Why just a few days ago, didn't I find you in a compromising position while you were watching so naughty videos on your computer?” Yasaka asked her daughter teasingly.
“MOOOOOM! Stop telling everyone that!” Kunou whined adorably while stomping her foot. Her face was bright red as she was glancing at in embarrassnt.
“It's alright Kunou. You're a growing girl and everyone gets curious. You should probably learn so silencing spells if you're going to watch videos like that online though. Japanese style houses don't have very thick walls…” I gave her so advice.
Kunou blushed again but quietly nodded her head.
“As for why we're here, Yasaka, there's going to be a party at my place in a few hours and I wanted you and the girls to co. Where's Alter by the way? I don't sense her nearby.” I asked.
“I sent her away for a few hours to stay with Isane Hyoudou and her parents. We have an important guest showing up soon and I don't want them to find out about my other daughter.” Yasaka explained. Yasaka then glanced at and Rias nervously. “I'd rather they not find out about you quite yet either, but it was bound to happen eventually. Especially with the upheaval you and Azazel threw this world into!”
I grinned at her. It looked like our not-so-little prank had been working. “Oh? Are a lot of people freaking out?”
“An entire faction up and disappeared from the world overnight! Of course they're freaking out! Every single pantheon is currently on high alert and wondering if they will be next!” Yasaka said while giving an exasperated look that said ‘you know what you did.’
The war with the Devils was coming eventually, it was inevitable at this point. Both Azazel and I figured it would be safer for the Fallen Angels to have a new ho outside the Underworld. Obviously, no Pantheon on Earth DXD would be willing to take in the Fallen Angels. That wasn't the case on Earth Marvel though. Hela was more than willing to take in my tens of thousands of Fallen siblings into Asgard provided they respect its people and fight in the upcoming war against the Frost Giants and Fire Demons of Muspelheim.
I hadn't heard any major complaints so far. In fact, our two cultures seem to really sh well together. There was a reason that Hela and I got along so well.
[Fallen Angels love fighting, fucking, and partying! Asgardians love fighting, fucking, and partying! Your races are truly compatible when you think about it.]
The majority of my siblings also carry a general distaste for ‘Father,’ and the majority of Asgardians now hate the ‘All-Father’. It's honestly strange how that worked out.
So, the Fallen Angels picked up all of their most valuable possessions and left the underworld forever. They could now fly freely in the skies of Asgard without having to worry about being attacked by hostile Devils. Most of the Fallen now lived there. Only a few of the more business oriented Fallen decided to move to Earth Marvel instead and work for Penemue and Emma at FallCorp.
Yasaka led Rias and I inside the house. We sat down on the Tatami while she started preparing for a tea ceremony. Rias, who still adored Japanese culture, squealed at the sight.
“My guest should be arriving any mont now.” Yasaka said. “When she does… I'm not exactly sure how she will take your presence here.” Yasaka added nervously.
“Who's showing up?” Rias asked.
“It's–”
THRUM!
Yasaka was cut off as a golden Japanese doorway materialed in the corner of the room. I had a feeling I knew who was coming now.
The doors parted to the sides and out stepped a young looking girl who radiated divinity. On a head of long black hair, sat a Golden Japanese crown that shined like the sun itself. She was dressed in an ornate gold and red kimono that trailed the floor in front and behind her. It was very elegant looking, but honestly seed impractical to .
{The Japanese Goddess of the Sun, Amaterasu: Level 70}
She spoke up as she walked towards us. “Behold, my loyal priestess! Your Goddess has arrived–eep!” Amaterasu accidentally stepped on her long robes and ended up tripping. She fell forwards and smacked her face directly on the floor.
Everyone in the room awkwardly stared at her…
She quickly stood back up, disheveled, and glared at us cutely. “You all saw nothing!” She said while collecting herself.
I know that she was thousands of years old, but she hardly looked older than Kunou and that tumble was frankly adorable…
“Of course, Lady Amaterasu.” Yasaka said with a strained smile. “Would you care for so tea?”
Amaterasu nodded. “I always appreciate your tea, my priestess. Who are your guests?” She said while looking at and Rias. “One of them looks very familiar…” She said while eyeing Rias specifically.
“Nice to et you. I am Layla, and this is–”
Amaterasu suddenly glared and an aura of power surrounded her! “Rias Gremory! The evil Devil bride of that disgusting Phenex brat! I told all Devils that if they set foot back in my territory their lives were forfeit! Die!”
Amaterasu raised her palm towards Rias. In an instant, a Golden fireball ford and launched itself forward at her! Rias let out a squeak of fright at suddenly being attacked by a Goddess. I quickly stepped in front of Rias and held up my palm. I caught the golden fireball and smothered it with my bare hand. That stung a bit…
{-100 HP}
Amaterasu glared at for interfering. “How dare you! Who are you to stand in my way!?”
I wasn't happy that this Goddess just tried to kill the mother of my child–even if she was mistaking her for soone else. I was going to have to give this brat a spanking as punishnt.
“My na is Layla of the Fallen, and you shouldn't have done that.” I introduced myself as 14 Black Angel Wings sprung up behind . My aura began to leak out and the room around us shook with my power.
I smirked at the shocked expression on the Sun Goddesses face! It was at this mont that she realized… That she fucked up…
