Chapter 51: Awakened from Dream
-Back to Present-
<Theus PoV>
{Returned successfully from the Realm of Recollection}
"Ku-hu-huhuhu." A giggle could be heard in the ground that was once a rich forest.
*sighhhh-* A loud sigh could be heard as I stood up from the ground. "Wrrryyyyyy..."
"That guy... Better pray today. Because he can no longer see the dawn of tomorrow."
[Host... What the hell happened!?]
"I've come back hell," I replied, as I looked at myself which reverted to my true appearance as Theus.
"Speaking of tomorrow... Isn't that the day when the peace conference would start?" I asked myself remembering what Sakuya said before I traveled outside Japan.
"System what happened to me after what that guy did to me?"
[I don't know Host. After he burnt your body, something weird happened when you closed your eyes. When the Dream Butterfly used itself, and flew into ethereal form and disappeared along with your body. The system. Disappeared for a moment as well.]
"Hmmm... You have no clue too?" The system doesn't lie but, it rather plays with its words...
"Show me my reward logs."

"That's a lot of logs..."
[Yes, Host.]
"Titanium-grade body makes me almost as tough as a god with the bonus of several stats-" I stopped pondering for a moment as I could feel several signs of Divinity coming in my direction.
"Who are you?" A man with golden-blonde hair, and wearing a white waistcoat revealing his chest and abdomen.
"You should be the one who introduces themselves first," I stated.
Some of their appearances look like those of other franchises.
"My what an arrogant devil you are. Fine, I'll introduce myself since I'm feeling good today. I am the God of the Seas, Poseidon. One of the Trinity Olympus" Poseidon said haughty manner.
"And what about the others?" I looked at the 4 of them, all of which exude Divinity. They must be all gods from Olympus as Artemis was amongst them.
"Hahaha- your beauty does fall slightly under mine, devil." A man with light pink hair, wearing a laurel wreath on his head, a toga, and buskin sandal. Like a typical ancient Greek fashion. "Raise as I'm here, Apollo the God of the Sun, Music, Beauty, and many more~!" He said in a narcissistic tone as he did a Jojo pose.
"I am Hermes, The Messenger of the Gods." The man in a butler uniform with black tattoos on his face, spoke as he slightly bowed like a butler.
"I am Artemis Goddess of the hunt," Artemis spoke up as we stared at each other, she didn't seem to be aggressive unlike last time when I was Vile.
'I wonder if she remembers me in this appearance, after all, it's been around 2-3 years since our brief encounter. Hmmm... Isn't this the same location where we first met?'
I thought to myself while looking around.
"How about your name friend?" Apollo said.
"I am Theus Vasilis Gusion. From the House of Gusion." I introduced myself to the Gods who descended to the ground.
"To think you'd call him a friend..." Artemis looked at Apollo skeptically.
"Fufufuf, of course, I only call people whose beauty is that I recognize. Though his clothes currently, don't have any shred of fashion at all, if I recommend some clothes to him, I'm certain that his beauty will slightly rise. Not as beautiful as I am though." He said narcissistic tone.
Now that I think about it... My appearance is a mess. I look like a homeless with ragged clothes.
"I'll take that as a compliment." I nodded.
"Theus, are you involved in any way, on what happened to this place?" Poseidon curiously asked me.
"I am." I answered honestly. What could they even do about it? I can beat them up without effort, now that I have the stand Mandom which can reverse time exactly by 6 seconds.
"I see... What about the other person you fought, did you kill him?" Hermes asks.
"No. He ran away after stealing my sword." I said.
"Ran away???" The 4 of them sounded confused.
"Yes, our battle is not yet over... Even though he ran away I can feel where he is." I said as I pointed in the east direction.
"How?" Hermes asked.
"I've become the hunt itself and had already marked him as my target... As long as he's in this world I can locate him." I stated. This ability came from 'The Hunt' trait. That gave me the ability to locate a target after I encountered them and I considered them as my enemy, though I can't tell what's the distance limit of it.
"Hehe. It seems you're truly the hunter with that kind of ability." Poseidon giggled while looking at his niece, before immediately looking away as Artemis glared at him.
"Ehem. Well that's you're next move now Mister Theus? Can I call you that?" Hermes asked, I could tell they were not feeling calling me Vasilis, as he wasn't their king.
"That's fine. As for my next move... Of course, I'll end our fight, after all a fight can only end once the other side falls." I stated, and I could feel Hermes getting excited.
"Now?" Artemis suddenly asked.
"Not now of course I still need to get a new weapon after he stole mine." I still felt frustrated as my Yamato was stolen, and of course, I won't expect my Bolverkr Gram that I made in the past to match the Yamato.
"Hmmm... How about you borrow this?" Hermes smiled mischievously and showed me a scythe.
"Is that?" I looked at it.
"It's a copy of Harpe. Even though it's just a copy. I'm not sure it could be of any help." He said, as there's no way they could give the original harp to a devil.
"No... It's not going to be. Though I appreciate the offer." I replied.
"Oh, now I'm also curious about the sword the other person stole, that you didn't even think twice about rejecting the Scythe of Harpe that could slay immortals," Poseidon spoke with interest, after hearing my response.
"He stole a sword that can cut space between two dimensions and the ability to separate man from the demon. A really strong sword..." The 3 of them expect Apollo who didn't care and just looked at the mirror admiring his appearance. Felt the salt from my words.
"Where did that sword come from?" Hermes asked as they hadn't heard of such a sword before.
"Don't know." I shrugged as I only played the Devil May Cry series, with its coolness, and only knew little lore about it.
"So. Do you need to interrogate me further?" I glared at them.
"Please don't misunderstand us, we're not trying to interrogate you. We're just curious you see. That a large-scale fight happened in this place." Hermes replied calmly.
"Is that so? Then I'll take my leave." I turned around after I finished my teleportation circle back to my workshop in the underworld. I glanced at Artemis for a brief moment who looked like wanted to talk to me, and I muttered words to her silently. As I teleported away.
<Third PoV>
"Do you know any sword of that kind Hermes?" Poseidon asked after Theus left.
"No. It's my first time hearing a sword has that ability. And it was owned by a devil at that..." Hermes pondered.
"Haaah-, if there's nothing else I'll get going first as I have more important things to do than spend time in this gloomy environment." Apollo said as he left the 3.
"How about you Artemis? What do you think of that person?" Poseidon curiously asked her as normally she would look at disdain in men.
"Huh?" She was lost for a thought for a moment when Poseidon questioned her. "Ah? Nothing much, I was just thinking that there was someone who could locate something like I do." She said seriously.
"Is that so? You've been acting kind of weird lately when we left Mouth Olympus. Not to mention that is also the longest time you've set out to the realm of the Gods again, as normally you would return to Olympus and then leave immediately, but you stayed for a while for months." Poseidon looked at his niece strangely. Artemis turned silent as she didn't know what excuse she'd give to him.
"Well either way it's not my business to pry in my niece's business." He just shrugged it off as He and Hermes went back to Olympus leaving Artemis alone in the desolate place.
....
<Artemis PoV>
"Oh my, it's my Ninth!" I panicked while waiting for him to return.
"Haah, it's also the same place and the same spot we met again." I blushed as I remembered the scenes from the vulgar book that Ninth gave to me in the past. I got addicted to it, and it made me want to buy more of those in the human world, where I also read in secret.
"Uuuuu, what would he think of me now!? What if he finds out that someone raped me!? Would he be repulsed if he finds it out?" My mind was on mess when I think about it. I imagined him leaving me on the ground like I was someone who had been tainted by someone else, as my chastity had already been stolen by that bastard.
I wanted to curse that John Smith for tainting my chastity that was only meant for my Nin- no Theus, yes that should be his true name Theus Vasilis Gusion, ahh he's so strong... I remember the fight that happened in this place from Mount Olympus.
A white magic circle appeared in front of me as Ninth or Theus came back with a proper suit completely different from the one when we first met. In this place.
"So is there something you want to talk about, Goddess Artemis?" He asked, which I felt hurt in my chest for some reason. At the same time, my heart was beating fast.
"You can just call me Artemis. Theus It's good to see you again." I said in a cutesy voice, as I looked at him who was showing a shocked expression.
"Uh-huh, yeah same?" He said in a confused tone. An awkward silence took over for a moment. I hesitate to ask him a question that's been lingering in me for 3 years.
"Say, Theus. Are you seeing anyone perhaps?" I finally asked him that, as I blushed.
"What?" He had a very confused look.
'Oh no. Does he already have a girlfriend?' I thought as I grimaced.
"No?" He replied.
"Hehe, is that so-." I giggled. "Then... Would you like to go out with me?" I asked him out. KYAAAAA.
"God- Artemis, have you been... Reading those shoujo manga that I've left you with?" He said, to which I nodded in embarrassment.
