Chapter 404: Introductions & Offers...

[POV Reo]

"So, this is your house?" Hydriana asked while looking around the kitchen, she seemed to be somewhat displeased.

"Yes, all of us don't like living submerged in lava or inside some random sun" I retorted with an amused look on my face and a thin smile appeared on Hydriana's face.

"That is what I have been telling her for millions of years!!" Ardat snarked and Hydriana simply glared back.

"Excuse me, babe, if I don't find dark and musky meteors to be pleasing" Hydriana bit back and Ardat started to glare at Hydriana.

I simply kept watching their banter with an amused look on my face and led them towards the table in our kitchen… After all, it was time for breakfast. The two of them sat down but kept glaring at each other, not wanting to back down.

"Bring the strongest alcohol you have…" both of them said at the same time and I decided to put my foot down for now.

"No drinking now… we can have a drink later" I said and both of them weren't happy after hearing my answer but there wasn't much they could have done.

So, they simply decided to make their displeasure known by pouting. After a few seconds, both of them huffed and decided to sulk. I found the whole scene pretty amusing.

"You have really changed… and I agree with Hydriana here, I do like the new you" Ardat said with a soft smile on her face.

"So, when are you going to introduce us to your lovers?" Hydriana asked in a teasing tone and I simply inclined my head as I could sense that they were just getting up.

"They just got up, so it will take some time for them to come down" I said and went back to preparing the food.

"I still can't believe that you learned how to cook" Ardat mused as Hydriana grinned but nodded her head.

"It is a useful skill to have" I said in a serious tone as I nodded my head. Both Ardat and Hydriana gave me questioning looks but they decided to drop the matter...

**************

"Girls meet two of my oldest friends… Well, more like my sisters but it is really confusing with all these old memories" I said looking towards the girls as I introduced Ardat and Hydraiana to them.

Just as I was about to set up the table, the girls started to come down. All of them noticed Ardat and Hydriana but none of them said anything and simply gave me questioning looks. They weren't accusing or anything… They were simply curious.

Moments later, Flavia arrived through her portal and decided to make herself at home like she always did. I didn't mind her doing that. After some time, Unohana also arrived, I invited her for breakfast and after a little bit of convincing, she decided to join us too.

"This is Ardat, also known as the Origin of Evil" I said while pointing towards Ardat, she simply raised up her champagne glass when I introduced her. I had given her orange juice but she started making faces, so I gave her champagne.

"And this is Hydriana, she is known as World Devourer" Then I said pointing towards Hydriana, she also raised her champagne glass in the air when I introduced her. It was the same with her too… neither of them appreciated healthy food.

"Hello, my name is Momo. Nice to meet you two" Momo politely introduced herself followed by Jean who was sitting beside her.

"Hello, my name is Jean Grey, it's nice meeting you two" Jean introduced herself with a smile.

"Wotcher! I am Dora Tonks, you can call me Dora" Dora introduced herself in her usual bubbly nature.

"Hi, I am Nemuri Kayama, it's nice meeting you two, but are you two perhaps his step-sisters?" Nemuri asked and I simply facepalmed and everyone other than Nemuri, Luna, Ardat, and Hydriana groaned and Dora seemed to blush. I should have expected that.

Both Ardat and Hydriana tilted their heads in confusion and turned towards me. It was obvious that they didn't know about the reference so I used my Mind Powers to send a telepathic message to them.

Both of them gave me blank looks for a few seconds until the two of them burst out laughing. Now, Nemuri was one who looked rather confused because she was still waiting for their answer. Ardat and Hydriana finally calmed down.

"Sorry sorry, I was simply unable to hold back" Hydriana said after calming down. "Our relationship was never like that. The two of us aren't into men to be accurate" Hydriana said and Nemuri nodded her head in understanding.

"You are interesting…" Ardat said with a smile and Nemuri smiled at the statement.

"...Um, let's move on with the others" I said dryly and shot a glare towards Nemuri who simply blushed. Yes, I should have expected that too.

"I am Luna!!" Luna exclaimed with a bright smile on her face as if it was the most obvious thing to do. Luna didn't say anything else and continued looking at the two of them with a dazed look in her eyes. Yes, that's just Luna.

"Hello, my name is Rumi. Nice to meet you two" Rumi introduced herself politely.

"Hi, you can call me Nat" Nat introduced herself, she was slightly nervous. I see, she is still having some problems with Gods and stuff like that. I will have a chat with her later. Most of the time it is okay for her but sometimes she still feels out of the place.

"Hello, my name is Fleur Delacour, it is a pleasure to meet you two" Fleur introduced herself in a regal manner and gave a small bow like a noble lady.

"Hi, I am Ororo. It's nice to meet you" Ororo said with a smile.

"Greetings! My name is Hela, I am pleased to meet my husband's sisters" Hela said with a polite smile on her face.

"Yes, you must be Death's Avatar, right?? I can feel her power oozing out of you" Hydriana said and Hela nodded her head excitedly.

"Her bloodlust is quite strong too. I am impressed" Ardat said and this surprised Hela as she wasn't releasing her bloodlust but for someone like Ardat, sensing her bloodlust was a piece of cake even though her powers were sealed.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you two. My name is Yachiru Unohana, I work for… with Hela" Unohana had to change her introduction when Hela shot her an annoyed glare. Oh… so she has also started to use her real name. That's cool!

"Oh… we have another interesting person right here" Ardat said in an excited tone and Hydriana readily nodded her head. Unohana simply smiled kindly and didn't say anything else.

Then their eyes finally turned towards the last member sitting at the dinner table.

"Hello, my name is Flavia, it is nice to make your acquaintance" Flavia introduced herself and Hydriana stared at Flavia intently. Flavia shifted uncomfortably in her seat. I simply smiled, as I already knew what was going to come.

"Tell me, girl, do you want to learn Magic from me?" Hydriana asked seriously and Flavia's eyes grew slightly at the sudden offer. Ardat whistled after hearing Hydriana's words. Both of us knew that if Hydriana is offering something like that then Flavia must have a lot of potential.

I decided to elaborate on Hydriana's offer to Flavia. "Flavia, this is a once in a lifetime chance… if you want to learn magic then you can't get a better teacher than Hydriana here. She might be called the World Devourer but she has another title, Hydra of Magic" I said and Flavia could only nod her head with a dumb look on her face.

"Girl, even Reo here would lose against Hydriana in a pure magical fight. There is simply no one in the Omniverse who can win against her in a magical fight…" Ardat elaborated from the side and Flavia once again nodded her head in understanding.

Hearing our words the other girls looked slightly dejected. Hydriana noticed that and decided to speak up.

"...I understand that most of you can use magic but her magic is somewhat similar to mine but unlike her, instead of dimensional energy, I use my own power" Hydriana explained and the other girls nodded, then Hydriana's eyes once again landed on Flavia.

"...You don't need to make a decision right now… we are going to be here for a couple of days… you can give us an answer before we are going to leave" Hydriana said and Flavia somewhat relaxed after hearing that she didn't need to decide right at this moment.

"And I call dibs on you two. I am going to show you some tricks while giving you some tips" Ardat gushed out excitedly while pointing towards Hela and Unohana. Understandable…

"Before answering I would need to discuss with my husband" Hela answered politely and Ardat's grin widened.

"I don't mean to insult you in any way but I could only accept your offer if Hela accepts your offer, please forgive me" Unohana said in a polite tone and gave an apologetic bow.

"Sure sure" Ardat waved off dismissively. She wasn't going to lose anything if they decided to decline the offer. She simply extended the courtesy as a senior evil woman to her juniors.

"Now that the introductions are over, let's eat" I said and everyone agreed. Well, Hela didn't need to have a talk with me. I will obviously allow her to go with Ardat, both Hela and Unohana could learn a lot of things from Ardat.

I hope that Flavia accepts the offer too. This is an offer no one should deny. Though I feel slightly bad for the other girls. I will show them the basics of the Magical Circles magic system. That will be helpful for them.

So, the rest of the breakfast passed just like that, happily chatting with each other. Ardat and Hydriana kept telling the girls stories about our adventures… nothing too gruesome though. After all, we did have fun from time to time, we couldn't destroy worlds all the time.

I used my powers to arrange a room for Ardat and Hydriana. Just as I had thought Hela asked me if she could go with Ardat. I simply agreed and I told her that it was never my place to decide something for her. Hela simply grinned and left while nodding her head.

The rest of the girls slowly left to do their own things. So, I finally decided to take up the offer of drinks with Ardat and Hydriana. With a simple thought the three of us appeared in the backyard.

I had a nice setup arranged in the backyard for these types of occasions. In Vesta my backyard was completely empty as Luna had her own personal forest.

I waved my hand and several bottles of Fire Whiskey appeared on the table along with three tumblers. Hydriana quickly opened a bottle and poured our drinks.

"This is a nice setup" Hydriana said and gave a satisfied nod as she sniffed her glass.

"You know I am really envious of you, Reo. We can't enter mortal worlds with our powers…" Ardat said with a frown and picked up a glass.

"My control over my powers has been absolute since the beginning. You know you can enter mortal worlds too with your powers but the residents would probably go insane due to the influence of your powers" I said and Ardat nodded sullenly. She does that from time to time but the fun ends really quickly.

"...You shouldn't complain Ardat, you still get to destroy worlds from time to time" Hydriana said and took a sip of the drink. "This is good but I have tasted better" she said with a shrug and took another sip.

"True, I keep destroying worlds from time to time and from next time we are bringing the drinks" Ardat said and chugged down her whole drink at once. I shrugged as I knew that there are better drinks than FireWhiskey out there.

"Fair enough. So what have you guys been up to?" I asked and Ardat simply grinned.

"This and that. Some fool decided that it would be great to seal away Hydriana's Avatar. I have been torturing that motherfucker. Ikkagen told us that you got back your memories so we decided to pay you a visit…" Ardat said with a grin on his face.

"Actually she snapped his mind. I am using my magic to fix his mind and it is going to take some time, so we can start breaking his mind once again…" Hydriana said dryly and Ardat shot her a glare.

I heard their words and leaned back in my seat and started to fiddle with my glass. I chugged down the whole drink and poured myself some more from the bottle. Both Ardat and Hydriana kept giving me questioning looks.

"...You know, I am Omnipresent, right? That means I am everywhere in the Omniverse at the same time…" I said and both Ardat and Hydriana tensed up.

"Is there a reason you were trying to hide this from me?" I questioned icily as the tension between the three of us started to rise…
