Chapter 355: The War (1)

—

The Omni-Neji who was in New Egypt looked at the empty hall of Ozymandias' throne room and activated Kamui.

Space twisted in and within itself, until people walked out of that whirl.

Quetzalcoatl, Jaguarman, Leonardo Da Vinci, Mash and her master, Fujimaru. They were followed by Ana and Merlin, and the entire group was led by Rumi.

"Welcome, honorable guests. This king is pleased to see you here."

Ozymandias, who was wearing clothes that didn't cover much of her rich dark skin, sat on the throne and looked at the girls with a smile on her face.

Nitocris and Xuanzang stood on either side of her throne, while Neji was sitting on the borders of one of those large windows in the palace. He was eating an apple as he waved at the girls.

"Consider it the same as my place and make yourselves comfortable." He said.

All heads turned to him while Ozy gave him a small smirk.

"Isn't that quite the bold claim? To say they can consider this as your palace. Or is that a marriage offer, I take it?"

"Possible."

Neji gave her a shrug, chuckling as he took a bite out of the apple.

"You can say it openly if you have any problem with what I said. I think we can talk it out in the bedroom."

"That would not be necessary."

Ozymandias waved the matter off, and Rumi followed up with another topic.

"I thought you were controlling?" She asked, seeing that he and this woman was fucking for sure.

"She's special."

"Oh?"

"How so?"

Ozymandias and Rumi asked at the same time, one amused and another quote curious. Rumi knew the reason could be as simple as he liking her hot and delicious skin, but there seemed to be an underlying layer to it.

To Neji, she had this familiar vibe. A part of that was due to how similar she was to Gilgamesh, and that reacted with him who too was similar to Gil. It made them a little special to one another.

However, he felt there was something else. He couldn't point a finger to it.

So, he just went with the easier answer.

"She reminds me of myself-"

– Snap!

"Anyhow, this makes things a little bit problematic. I was planning to take on the Lion King by myself, Quetzalcoatl, you, and the gorgeous rabbit beside you. However things are complicated if that Old Man is also against us. Very complicated..."

"Oh, you can just call me Rumi, by the way."

Rumi added when she noted Ozy was calling her 'rabbit'. As it happens with girls, the two women liked each other from the start due to their apparent similarities.

Ozymandias smiled. "All right, then. I suppose Ozyman-"

"Just call her Ozy."

"Hey?!"

Ozymandias reacted a little flustered, unlike her usual self when Neji casually interrupted her.

"Just because I allow you to call me that, doesn't mean everyone can-"

"It's alright, Ozy. I think it's a good nickname." Rumi interrupted her. "I'd also suggest don't waste your time arguing with that guy, he never listens."

Ozymandias wanted to say something, but her nose twitched and she sighed. Sitting back on her throne, she shook her head and looked at Neji and Rumi.

"As I was saying, everything just got complicated now. Anything you want to add?"

"I think alright. Nitocris' authority over Disease plus Ereshkigal's authority over the dead would be a good counter to him. Lastly, do you remember that cute black cat from before? She's Kurai, and I guess she will be the most helpful after she returns from where I sent her."

The Old Man of the Mountain was a grand servant. A Grand Assassin. He was the only one of that class and rank. He could kill Ozymandias without her even knowing where he was. His connection with Death quite literally made him the reaper.

But it's not impossible to defeat him if he used the three cards he talked about just now. The First Hassan wasn't that undefeatable.

"I see."

Ozymandias appeared delighted by the plan. She was pleased.

"So when do we initiate the attack?"

"We attack tomorrow. The only reason we are not going right away is that we have to wait for Kurai to return, along with the two Goddesses she went with."

Ozymandias smiled at the notion while a few of the girls behind him grew a little nervous.

Everything was ready and everyone was prepared.

With their heart softly thumping in their hearts, the group could only wait for the sun to go down as they prepared for the dangerous war that'd take place tomorrow.

Neji promised himself to get Ryukyu back to normal, at any cost.
