Chapter 97: Goddess of war

"I will let myself die instead," Cleopatra answered promptly as Kuso had stated so. It had led her to froze into silence... 

Thus, Cleopatra continued with her words as she said,

It was a reason why if I were you. Then I will choose to kill myself instead.

Cause...

Albedo had loved you a lot since you were a kid. I mean, in a romantic way. But, she knew that you were a kid. So that's why she changed that love into a will to taking care of you. Like... she had breastfed you, taught you as if you were her son. And continue until you were big enough. But... she was not brave enough to reveal her feelings as if that you will deem her as a weirdo. But, she was devoted to you a lot as if you are someone who she won't leave over.

Thus, this is why that she will prefer to kill herself than letting you use her full authority. Just let me tell you the reason why Anna wants to dispose of Albedo so much. 

It Is because that she was the one who defeated the high order who was the root apart of Odin by using that technique. 

And she one shot two of them once both of them had weakened by the gods, goddess, elves, and the dragons who allied with them. 

Thus, it killed both Anna's husband and her only son who joined the battle altogether as she went berserk. This is why she doesn't want her own sister to getting involved in the war anymore. 

But, their relationship was cracked as the goddess had started to have her soft side. The soft side of Albedo who loved a human, and respected the half-bloods which her sister hated most. You know that gods were hating the mix-blood, yes?

"Indeed. I knew that. But... I never thought that a sister could land a knife to her own beloved sister." Kuso answered Cleopatra. Thus, Reili helped her to answer as she said,

"You can't blame Anna fully though. Both of them were meant well. But, their path was crossed which caused them to kill each other. You know the takes, am I right?"

Kuso nodded after the statement being told. But, the empress continued,

"You have to know the final thing of this. The true meaning of the goddess of war."

Goddess of war? I thought it was always the same thing. Like... They fought and kill, fight and kill and so on that led them to be notoriously known as the god killer. But... I'm always thinking that they were badasses. Still... Albedo was an exception. 

It piqued my interest to know what are they actually. This led me to ask Cleopatra,

"Who are them actually?"

She cleared her throat. Then, Reili explained it to me with her cute high pitched voice,

Goddess of war was actually a female known as Zadkiel. The goddess is later known as the goddess who betrayed the Asgardian gods. With her betrayal, she waged the war against Thor. But, Thor had seen through that which led him to summon the successors. Which known later as the daughter of the lightning god Thor, Anna, and Albedo. Both of them defeated Zadkiel with the assistance of Thor himself. 

But. The battle was continued into the battle against Odin. Which involved Frigg, the commander of the goddess in the west who tasked a woman called Michina. To defeat Odin together with them. Thus, it was the time that he was corrupted by an unknown substance that we didn't even know which was used by Zadkiel. 

At that time. Anna, Albedo, Michina, Zadkiel who pretending to be nice people to them, defeated him in the battle known as the battle of the eon.

Battle of eons? What the hell? So... The battle itself took six million years? Hold up. If Albedo now claimed that she is eighteen years old. Then... 

"You have been tricked by her. She referred to eighteen eons old. She didn't want to tell the truth as she didn't want to hurt your feeling. Rather..."

She can trick everyone. But unfortunately, the man who enhanced and cursed with the knowledge like me had seen through everything of that. I just did not want to hurt her feelings which led me to hide that. But... Since Cleopatra had explained that, then I can sure that what I have thought was a thing that was spot on.

My findings alone had made Cleopatra looked at me with wide eyes. Her brown-colored eyes had to write everything about my capability to see through her. I mean... I'm a software developer. It's my job to discover everything two or three steps before the user could find the findings. 

And I believe... She was the one who had saved me on my climb at mountain Everest back then. Or else... I would die for frostbite. But yeah, I don't want to say anything much about it yet. Let them talk.

Cleopatra continued her statement as she said,

"Rather... I have guessed that you have figured that out. As expected someone who had been buffed into knowledge and the capability to withstand extreme cold. Those powers you got as the human in Japan were gifted by Albedo as a sign of her love to you."

Fuck! She's too possessive! I mean... It's nice actually that someone loved me. But... This is too...

"You can't blame her. She loved you because of the thing you had made in the past life. I mean... Regardless of the eons. People will despise dog, kill them and even eat it! But, you didn't. Rather, you are taking care of her. Making sure that she had everything that you had. Even you had to let her have a nice life with her husband eons ago before she had reincarnated become a goddess. Thus, it had led her to keep loving you until now... And I don't think that will lasts shortly."

But... It was sounding creepy, indeed. However, I'm appreciating her. Thank you for taking care of me for these eons. I have to do something about it. Thus, I have to know the rest about them which led me to ask Cleopatra,

"What else do you know about the god and goddess stuff in Asgard? I have to get to bottom of that before I can decide to save her. Saving her means killing two birds in one stone. Which means I can save both the village and her at the same time."

Cleopatra cleared her throat. Thus, she continued,

"Unfortunately. The rest of the things I can explain to you and Reili were redacted. In other means, it's the internal cause. We can't disclose it much."

"Mind sharing more, master? This is important for the future of my countrymen!"

"You guys had caused so many paradoxes now! Although, it was in a good thing."

She commanded her System after she had said so, which, she summoned,

"System: Time Preview!"

A massive clock being seen clearly in our foot. And I'm now seeing the footage in the thirty years ahead from my current time... It had shocked me... I can't explain anything over that. It had led me to request,

"Tell me more, Cleopatra. I will repay you double about it!"

She shook her head, and she said,

"The rest will cause this empire to turmoil. And I don't want that to happen. This is why I have sworn my loyalty to the goddess Anna as Asmodeus!"

ASMODEUS!!

Both I and Reili pulled our own weapon at the same time as we had a bad feeling about it. Thus, she replied,

"Don't worry. Asmodeus is my male pesona. I used that persona by using my authority to spy on her sect. And trying to find out if we can do anything to unite them with us. Still... I could not be able to found anything yet."

Of course, that was impossible to find. I believe that Anna is not that stupid. If she was that stupid. Then she would be outsmarted by myself already. Still... I have to question more about the empress in front of me. But, she rejected as she said,

"Let the plot hole be the plot hole. I hate that to be honest, but if I continue that. Then the empire will gone worse and worse. And even..."

"I HAVE FOUND THE WAY TO RETURN TO OUR TIME, KUSO!!"

Wait, what? So, she managed to fix the bug? How is it possible? I thought that was completely corrupt. But, she continued to yell as we could hear it,

"IT WAS TOO EASY TO FIX!"
