"What gave me away?" Kadeon asked with a smile barely containing the fury I could see in his eyes.
"If I am stuck here, you would want to be here to finish me off. I wasn't completely sure, but the so-called leader of this group would have more tact and not get so angry. I wasn't talking about them, right?" I asked, but then kept speaking when he tried to say something. "So, weird ex-father-in-law or something, what is your game? You got me here, somehow, but there is only you...
And all those witches, but they don't really count since they have to maintain control of the barrier? Don't bother answering, because, unlike you, I am a True God, and you are just a child playing with a sharp stick."
Kadeon's eye twitched, but then he sighed and I noticed his demeanor shift. "Countless years that stretch on past billions at this point have passed at this point-"
"16,023,776,433 at this point, not that anyone is counting," I said, cutting the parasite inside Kadeon off. "So, this was all your idea? Or is this his last-ditch effort to try and stop me? You and I both know that my girls can handle the remaining Zodiacs and even some Chaos Beasts."
"This is his plan, but Eldritch is helping him. While you might think that your women are strong, the floodgates have been opened. All the Chaos Beasts will descend on your new city where many of your precious world inhabitants are gathered. You know what this means, right?
History will repeat itself just like it always does, and you will lose everything," Matthias's voice said through Kadeon's mouth, and then I punched him, sending him out of my house through a wall in the blink of an eye.
I sighed. That was a bit more concerning, and now I felt like I shouldn't be messing around in there with the three idiots stuck in one body. I closed my eyes and opened them in front of Truth, who frowned at me.
"And what is this bonus?"
"A luck charm for currencies. While gods can create almost anything, you are not like me. You still need power to create things, or there might come a time when you don't have all your power like now and before you realized who you were. This is also not limited to money, but anything one would wish to trade. You might even consider the beetle to be a Charm of Trade.
Regardless, the Hyperrellion Deity Beetle will stay hidden until one of you is dead."
I nodded at this but then paused. "How do I kill him? When I hit him just now, it was like hitting something even harder than a diamond. The same thing happened when I tried to choke him."
"Did you not pay attention to anything we were watching?" Truth asked, and I shook my head. "That is what the Blood Witches are doing. They are using their life force to create a barrier that prevents you from being able to hurt the vessel of Kadeon. You need to deal with them, but I don't have any answers for you other than you are on your own.
They are all women that hate you because you never would return their love. They are all cases just like Xena; Women from your past life that Kadeon has collected to use against you. None of them are being controlled or forced to give their lives for this barrier, they are all volunteers. Some were promised power, or immortality, or love, or whatever, but all have given up their lives for this.
There are about fifty Blood Witches, and they will be the ones maintaining the barrier, but Kadeon will also attack you. There is a good chance that he might even try and kill them just to get into your head and mess with you."
I gritted my teeth at all of this. Things kept getting progressively worse, and I needed to think of a way out of this.
