Chapter 93: Danger Lurks (2)

"We are the same countrymen. My father, who was the military guy in Japan had told me that the fellow Japanese shall have faith in each other as a unity. Albedo wasn't reliable enough, and Duran has to be fair. Yet, you have a reliable partner like that demihuman which eases my heart when I'm seeing that the half-bloods were doing fine. "

That word alone had blown Kuso off with the empress's willpower to fake everything for justice. She didn't know that the woman had done this lot of things that could lead her to be sent to hell for eternity. Yet, she did it anyway.

As an honest person who never lied in her life, she judged that this woman should have faced so many sufferings alone from lying. But, as someone who knows psychology, she knew that the woman wasn't lying at all. It led her to comment at her in a stern tone.

"You should not hide this anymore. In fact, I fought Anna twice." 

Cleopatra was shocked upon the statement being blurted by Kuso herself, it led her to look at the dark skies with stars coloring on them. And then, her brown eyes were being clearly radiated by the moonlight. Thus, she looked at the Technoknight and she said,

"I guess... Albedo had managed to get an exceptional Technoknight, huh?"

"What?" Kuso questioned back to the empress's as she had seen her pointy nose with her brown skin that was seen clearly as if she was not a native at all. And then, her thin lips with well-rounded ears had been seen clearly in her eyes.

And she answered Kuso in her radiating beauty despite her age,

"You are an exceptional Technoknight who capable to understand mortal's feelings and a sense of justice that led you capable in defeating the heavenly being, and I believe, it's the time at your era for the reformation."

"I don't get it. But first of all. I want to know what Technoknight is as Albedo didn't explain this to me clearly. And why did you say that I'm an exceptional one?"

Cleopatra moved towards the Temple-shaped gazebo with a flat sitting place that dwelled there. And then, she stepping the ceramic of the gazebo, and she sat on the top right of it. Thus, she requested,

"Come here, Kuso."

Without any suspicious feeling of her, Kuso walked towards the gazebo as well and she sat at the top right as she could be able to look at the empress.

Then, the empress started to talk.

"Both Technoknights and Dragon Mortals were the same. The ones who acquired the power from the god or goddess to save the world. But, there was a difference between those. One as a dragon mortal, there was a saying that only one dragon mortal who will remain survived until the end of the line of that being. But, Technoknights were designed to die and left a legacy for everyone in the world. You know what I mean, right?"

Kuso nodded which led her to continue,

"And I hope you understand that you will be destined to die since one Technoknight's life could be able to mortalize a god or goddess's life. By other means, you are the only one who Albedo could rely on now upon defeating her older twin sister. The corrupted one. And you can say that alongside Zadkiel, she is the fallen god as well."

Then, she sighed. In her very own expression, she wished that she would not need to talk about it. However, the circumstance had forced her to do so which led her to say,

"And you have to know that killing Anna means that Albedo will be killed as well."

"What do you mean by that, Cleopatra?"

Cleopatra sighed. Thus, she had to be resolute to state it which led her to say,

"They shared the same soul."

"The same soul? Are you fucking kidding me?" Kuso yelled at that woman in which, she sighed as well as she could not be able to found any ways to defeat Anna without sacrificing Albedo. However, she tried to remember something as she placed both of her hands on the rocks where she sat. And she pushed it slightly which led Kuso to comment,

"What are you stressing about? Albedo is someone who is important to me! I can't let her die just like that. You are Odin's aide, right? If you are the one, then I'm expecting that you could be able to figure out over that! But..."

"There is a limit of our own capability as a mortal, Kuso. I may be a mortal like you. But I can prolong my life longer thanks to my authority. But, once the authority is dismissed, I will die in a matter of milliseconds. This is why I'm telling you right now. Be careful with Anna, she was too strong for even someone like me to defeat. And be careful with Albedo as well when you want to defeat her. Remember, every time that you hurt Anna. Albedo will get affected... Unless... She gave her virginity to you. Then she will be fine."

At that moment, she had just remembered that Albedo did try her hardest just to ask Kuso to deflower the goddess. However, she was finding that sounded not made any sense for her at all. It led her to say,

"Why she has to be deflowered to get avoided by that?"

"Cause their fathers were expecting them to be pure. Thus, their father had cast the seal that their soul will be split once one of them deflowered. However, Anna hated impurity just like her father. While Albedo is a woman who respects multiple cultures like her mom. It was the reason why both of them clashed and separated into their own ways. But... It was worsened by the decision of the higher rank gods to task her to kill Anna. Thus, their relationship was shattered for eternity by a sister who loves each other. To someone who didn't mind shedding the blood of one of them. Nor killing one of them. It was pathetic, but it had to be done., Or else..."

"I have already know the rest. Now, explain to me why Albedo had chosen me? I think with your capability as Odin's aide, you can find that out."

Cleopatra smiled and then, she said,

"It was because that she loved you, Kuso. She keeps that love for all of her lifespan, rejecting the other god's love offer, and even she was willing to sacrifice herself for you. I think you have an ice affinity, do you?"

"I did, I thought that..."

"And I know that she gave you that body so you can fight. From your fighting style earlier I have observed, it was clear enough that you are the one who never fights in intense hand-in-hand combat. By other means, I have figured out that you are a dude but residing in a girl's body. Or... Can I say that it was an infamous shit that named as genderbending?" Cleopatra smirked on Kuso while she stated that as she snuggled on her randomly. Thus, it had to give Kuso a feeling of chill that led her to comment,

"I can go back to my original body as many times as I want. It's not like that I'm being locked in this body for eternity!"

"But in fact, I can see that she had locked your soul in this body. So, you can return and stay at this body at the moment you want it or not. I think... It was pretty good as well... Also... There is another revelation as well that I would like to tell you before we start to plan for the psychological tactic. You can rely upon me as a former diplomate for Japan when it comes to strategical battle."

Kuso nodded as he said, "Please proceed." and then, She continued,

"There will be three Technoknights you will have to face off. They have their own uniqueness. And four Technoknight has their own name. The Genius, The Brute, The Trickster, and The Loving. At most, you have to wary about The Loving one. Either who will be that Technoknights. He or she will have the strongest movement ever that even a god or goddess may found it too hard to defeat."

"What kind of power that he or she has?" Kuso asked Cleopatra which led her to reply,

"The power to covet everyone. If you have ever faced that person. Never look at their Metoria sphere. It will cause you to fall in love with that person and in the worst case, you will become his/her simp. It works in any gender or any race. And that person could gain advantage easily which is the strong psychology mental is a must to defeat that kind of person. And remember to hang that person in the rope that urinated by a virgin."
