Chapter 207: Thor’s Defeat
Chapter 207: Thor's Defeat
Eiji's Katana, or rather Zanpakuto began to glow with a faint white light. It looked weak, but everyone who saw it including Thor felt their souls tremble and told them all to run right now!
Their instincts screamed that everyone was in danger!
Thor who was closest to Eiji felt it the most. He wanted to say something, but now he had trouble speaking let alone moving!
It felt like he could only resign himself to seeing the power emanating from Eiji's sword getting more terrifying with every second that made him have the illusion that the countdown to his death was getting closer.
"No! Eiji, stop! There's no need to continue this fight, you're already―" Odin just wanted to shout to stop the match and declare Eiji the winner outright, even if it made Thor dissatisfied with him.
But before he finished his words...
"Just kidding. "
"Eh?" Didn't know whose voice it was, but many of them said it after hearing what Eiji said.
The frightening oppression that had previously radiated from his body also disappeared, allowing many people to breathe normally again.
*Thud*
Thor who knew that he had just escaped death felt his legs weak and he fell to the ground on his butt.
He looked at Eiji whose appearance had returned to normal with his school uniform and sword gone, he saw the boy smiling wryly while stuffing his hands into his pants pockets.
"It's just a competition after all, there's no need to kill each other, right Thor? If you are unable to fight anymore, please give up because I don't want to accidentally kill you."
Thor, Odin, Vidar and even the other spectators watching were silent. What Eiji said did make sense, it was just that before Thor was too stubborn to keep getting up and not giving up until the fight got hotter and many people almost forgot this was just a competition.
However, except for the heroines, no one knew that previously Eiji who had transformed into White Eiji was really serious about killing Thor.
[I screwed up. Obviously I didn't intend to kill Thor, but when I switched to White Eiji's form. I changed my mind because Thor and the other gods disgusted me.]
[It's not an ordinary disgust, but it's so disgusting that it makes me want to kill everyone because an ant keeps challenging me and other ants are watching me as if watching entertainment.]
[Luckily I was still able to cancel the full form. Otherwise, with my previous attack. Actually not only Thor, but everyone watching including Rossweisse and Grayfia would have also been affected.]
[This is sad... Not only did I fail to pretend to be cool, I also almost hurt my own woman.]
???
Eiji's inner voice sounded depressed, the heroines who were related to him were wondering if he was okay? It was rare for Eiji to sound wrong like this.
[Sona: Grayfia, what happened?]
Sona who was busy doing student council work at school was concerned about her fiancé's condition.
[Grayfia: That...]
[Rias: Grayfia, say it!]
[Serafall: Is it because Thor pushed Eiji too far? Damn Thor! Should I go over there to beat him up? How dare he make Eiji-chan sad!]
[Xenovia: I'm going to slash Thor! Even if he's a god, I can't believe I can't cut him down with my current sword skills!]
[Irina: Xenovia, count me! I'm also Eiji-sama's sword! Even if Thor isn't at fault, I still want to slash him for making my master sad!]
[Lala ?: I have a bomb that is far more powerful than the nukes on earth. Its power should be enough to blow up a small planet, is it enough to destroy a place called Asgard?]
[Nana: Eh!! Ane-ue, what's the matter with you? It's not like you! Please don't be impulsive!]
[Momo: Onee-sama, for once I agree with Nana.]
[Akeno: Ara Ara. I wonder if my holy lightning is effective on a lightning god like Thor?]
[Kuroka: Time to kill, nyaa?]
[Mai: I feel like there are a lot of yandere here. Is it alright? I also want to help Eiji, but is my power enough?]
The next message was followed by Asia, Run, Ai Hoshino, Kyouko, Eriri, Utaha, and even Yukino, Mio, Miko and several other girls who had already been helped by Eiji did not hide anymore and asked about the man.
Grayfia was a little dizzy looking at the successive messages from the girls in the group chat, and not only that, Rossweisse who was standing next to her also started crying!
"Wuwuwu... It's my fault, if it wasn't for me, Eiji wouldn't have fought for me..."
"Rossweisse, please calm down. I'm sure it's not your fault. Eiji-sama, just miscalculated with his power."
"But, but Grayfia-san, I..."
"One by one please."
Grayfia felt she was an elementary school teacher who had to calm down her students who might do dangerous things in the future if not advised immediately.
But just like the other heroine, she was also actually upset now and looked at Thor coldly. While it was true that she felt Eiji almost hurt her and Rossweisse earlier, she did not blame Eiji of course. She only blamed Thor for being so stubborn as to make her man blame himself.
"Thor! Hurry up and surrender right now!"
Odin was finally able to speak, he even raised his voice so that Thor in the arena could hear him clearly.
"But Father, I..." Looking at his father who was glaring at him from the audience seats, Thor was still reluctant to give up, his pride was hard to give up on his opponent. Even after he almost died earlier.
"Thor!!!" Odin called his son's name angrily, he remembered something and said. "If you don't give up right now. Don't think that I, the King of Asgard, don't know what his son has been doing for the past two months. I will tell Sif where you have been every Sunday night!"
When Thor heard this, he seemed to be struck by lightning, his face froze and looked at his father in panic. He had not expected the old man to threaten him with his wife. It would be bad if Sif knew he liked to go out to clubs with his friends on certain week nights when he always said he would go out to seek fresh air in the human world with his friends at that time.
But... "Father, how did you know?! Wait, stop, don't talk so loud! I understand, I'll give up!"
""....""
Eiji and even the audience were silent. This father and son were suddenly talking about their family's disgrace in public.
Even so, Odin's threat to Thor seemed to be very effective.
Thor got up from the ground, he walked over to him and said: "Eiji, you win. I, Thor, admit defeat and recognize that you are stronger than me!"
The man smiled with the wounds on his body and said in a louder voice to everyone.
"With this, I declare Eiji Seiya the winner of this match! As a reward, he may take home my father's secretary, Rossweisse!"
"OHHHHHHH!!!"
The crowd's cheers echoed in the stadium, Eiji's lips twitched, he felt Thor had deliberately said the last one. Everyone finally knew why this fight had even started.
Why? It was because to get a woman!
...
After the audience dispersed, and the people concerned gathered again in Odin's office. Not only Thor, this time there was also the addition of Vidar who also sat with them.
"How should I say this? My son really made trouble for you, Eiji." Odin looked at him with an apologetic smile.
Eiji waved his hand. "It's okay. I told you, I'm used to this kind of thing. By the way, the agreement we made will be kept, right?"
Rossweisse who was now standing behind him with Grayfia instead of Odin had a blush on her cheeks. Ever since the battle was over, she had followed Eiji like a kitten and repeatedly asked him if he was alright? Eiji replied he was fine, but the woman seemed to misunderstand, thinking he was pretending to be fine and looking at him with a very gentle look.
Eiji didn't bother to clear up the misunderstanding. It was a good thing after all. Of course, he wouldn't forget to question the system later. Who gave him the idea to try out his new form without telling him the flaws? He thought that since it was given from the system, as usual there were no side effects. But in fact?
?{...}
Odin laughed at Eiji's question, he looked at Rossweisse who did not hide her look of affection for Eiji and nodded. This boy not only managed to defeat his son, he also managed to win the heart of his personal bodyguard, right? And that happened in less than a day.
Glancing at Grayfia, he now somewhat understood why Sirzechs could lose his wife because of that boy.
"Of course. As per our agreement, from now on Rossweisse is no longer my secretary or bodyguard. She is free to go with you."
"And since my side made enough trouble for you. I don't think you need to give me what I want."
Odin smiled wryly, he glared at Thor who sat heavily bandaged beside him. Obviously he had told him to recuperate in another room, but as usual the man was stubborn and wanted to follow them here. He wanted to end this quickly for fear Thor would make trouble again.
"Take this. And Thor, you too." Eiji said as he snapped his fingers.
Instantly, Odin widened his eyes to see a thick book appear in his hand. He naturally opened the book to check and his eyes lit up.
To Thor's surprise, his body was enveloped in a green aura, and instantly all his wounds were healed. Of course, it was not that Asgar did not have someone with healing magic, but the effectiveness of their magic was slow. The wounds from the blows he received from created deep wounds for him and it would be best to let his body recover naturally. A god's body also had the ability to regenerate at a certain level, but that was still very slow.
He did not expect Eiji to heal all his wounds instantly with his magic, he laughed and Odin who saw his son being healed sighed.
"Thank you Eiji." The old man thanked him sincerely.
"I, Thor consider you as my friend and brother. Eiji, what do you think?" Thor grinned, the man loved to grin.
Eiji smiled. "You're welcome and you're not. Friends are fine, but I don't like having a brother."
"You refuse to be my brother? Why?!"
Thor shouted, he and everyone else naturally ignored him. Vidar who had been watching the whole thing laughed. By the way that guy was Thor's younger brother, he introduced himself to him and yes, he was more friendly than Thor.
Anyway, there was nothing else they wanted to do there. So after everything was settled, Eiji, Grayfia and his new secretary, Rossweisse said goodbye to Odin and the others.
They were leaving Asgard, Eiji would never want to go there again. Wasn't Asgard also a place where gods lived? Why other than old men, muscular men, and ordinary beautiful women. There are no women as beautiful as goddesses other than Rossweisse who is the heroine?!
Originally, Eiji also expected to meet a goddess or something. Unfortunately no, the Valkyries were also beautiful, but they were definitely not as beautiful as Rossweisse. This made him lose interest in Asgard and wouldn't be interested in going there if not for his own woman.
...
"Alright stop pretending to be offline, you owe me an explanation."
Under the moonlight from the window, Eiji felt a sense of deja vu every time he soaked in the bathtub and communicated with his system here.
?{Explanation? What explanation? Host, I don't understand what you're saying. By the way you haven't checked some of your rewards before!}
{Want me to check them now?}
This woman was trying to change the topic with rewards.
Eiji stared at the system's interface as if imagining the woman's own face and looked at her flatly.
"...."
?{Um...}
"...."
?{Host.}
"...."
?Hey host, don't ignore me! I know I'm wrong don't ignore me...wuwuwu!}
The woman was crying, no or rather she was probably pretending to cry. After all who knows how good the acting skills of a woman pretending to be a system are.
"Explain." Eiji said while leaning against the bathtub filled with foam.
Miss System sighed, she was silent for a moment before saying.
?{I'm sure I've already said that all the rewards the system gives, not all of them are good. Your White Ichigo character card too, it's actually not bad, even upgraded by the system. However...}
"However? Don't tell me that just like Ichigo, I also have a dark side? Damn, I don't like multiple personalities!"
?{Um... No, it's not multiple personalities. Please don't worry.}
Eiji breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't really want to fight against himself and slap his own face in his inner world like the protagonist of the original work did.
?{What you think will never happen. The system has removed the characteristic of rewards being able to have their own personality. However the host, White Ichigo was originally a force from the protagonist's dark side. Before the protagonist really mastered that power completely, he also often lost control.}
"You can eliminate that split personality, but you can't eliminate the flaw in the original work? In that case, I can only wait for the fusion to reach 100% before I can use that full form without worry."
?{As expected of my host! You understood right away!}
The woman praised him, Eiji was completely unmoved. He rolled his eyes and asked, "You know this, then why did you tell me to use it before?"
?{That...} Miss System sounded nervous. {Do you believe that I just wanted to see my host show his full villain form? Of course, back then I forgot about the side effects of White Ichigo's character cards. Tee-hee}
Eiji looked at the image of a chibi dog sticking out its tongue while closing one of its eyes on the system interface with disgust.
?{Host, please don't stare at your system with those eyes.}
"Well... I'll forget about this matter, but I hope you'll be more careful about recommending things to me in the future. Now let's go check my harvest."
?Yes host! My host is very gentle, I like it. Reward will be given soon!}
A person who has a guilty conscience, will sometimes lick in order for others to forgive him. That was this woman now, Eiji shook his head slightly and looked at the row of text on his system interface.
?{Ding! Detected that the host has changed the plot in the [Mieruko-chan] franchise.}
?{Successfully changed the plot of [Mieruko-chan] by 99% by solving the main character, Miko's problem so that she can no longer see ghosts!}
?{Congratulations host, you got the skill "Cursed Ghost Summoning".}
Cursed Ghost Summoning?
Since Miko has something to do with ghosts, so her reward is also related to ghosts?
Eiji checked the description of this skill and nodded. Not bad, this skill allowed him to revive the dead. But not like Anos's magic that really brings people back to life. This skill will summon a dead person as a ghost without being able to die in peace. With a note, people who are turned into ghosts really become ghosts unable to affect the material world or humans and their souls will be confined to the place where they died.
In short, it's a good skill to harass his enemies and make them feel humiliated after being killed.
That's a bit dark... As expected of Miko-chan.
To be able to make him attract this kind of reward...
Ahem, next.
?{Ding! It was detected that the host has changed the plot in the [Oregairu] franchise.}
?{Successfully changed the plot of [Oregairu] by 64% by making the first heroine, Yukino fall in love with you even though she doesn't admit it. Immediately eat her and capture Shizuka and the others to increase plot progress!}
"...." The advice wasn't needed after all, she would do it without being told.
?{Ding! Congratulations host, you got the "Peach Fruit".}
"Are you kidding me?"
?{I'm not kidding, host. Please check the description first, that's no ordinary peach.}
Eiji must have gotten a description of this peach, he checked it out and was a little surprised because wasn't this peach another version of the devil fruit?
According to the description, as long as a woman ate the peach. The woman would gain random superpowers. He was actually somewhat familiar with the peach being able to give a woman superpowers in certain franchises.
However... He couldn't remember the plot clearly, but this wasn't bad, he could give it to one of his women. After all, unlike devil fruit, peaches could only be eaten by women if they wanted to be effective. If the one eating the fruit was a man, the peach would just be an ordinary peach.
That was the setting of the original work, it definitely wasn't because Eiji didn't want to give it to another man.
"Is there any more?"
?{There is one more reward.}
Eiji nodded, continue.
?{Ding! It was detected that the host has changed the plot in the [Highscool DxD] franchise.}
?{Successfully changed the plot of [Highschool DxD] by 55% by getting Rossweisse as your female, ahem! I mean your secretary faster without Vidar's interference in the original work because the protagonist is too herbivorous and passive.}
Wait, Vidar? Thor's younger brother that he saw earlier? Then Eiji remembered in the original work, in order for Issei to get Rossweisse in his harem, Vidar had to pretend to be a villain to force Rossweisse to marry him. The possessive protagonist Issei certainly cannot let a beautiful woman who has entered his eyes like Rossweisse belong to another man. So this becomes a plot somewhat similar to Issei saving Rias from a political marriage.
Of course, as the protagonist, Issei eventually wins and gets Rossweisse in his harem.
In this life, Eiji unknowingly did that kind of routine. Although he beat up Thor instead of Vidar to get Rossweisse.
"A terrible coincidence, but whatever."
?{Congratulations host, you got "Stark Naked Magic".}
"...."
Eiji was confused, he felt that this woman deliberately made him have things that looked like Issei.
From the name of the magic alone one knows this is a type of perverted magic!
But unlike Issei's "Dress Break" which only functions to strip women of their clothes, or all the magic attached to a woman's body.
According to the description, "Stark Naked Magic" is one of the main magic possessed by the protagonist who is just as perverted as Issei. These two people develop magic that is more or less similar, but in terms of usefulness.
"Stark Naked Magic" is obviously more useful because it can strip women of their clothes. Actually that's not its function, its main function is to control all the magic in the surrounding area and forcibly eliminate the magic. So not just women, but everyone within the range of this magic; their magic would be temporarily stripped to zero.
But in the original work, because the protagonist is often surrounded by many girls, when the protagonist uses this ability in battle, he creates an effect similar to "Dress Break".
In short, this ability is still capable of ripping off all people's clothes at any time and leaving them all naked.
"Both are the same to me. Why would I use this kind of magic when the women in my harem are willing to take off their clothes willingly?"
Eiji said that and when he heard the sound of the girls playing on the first floor including Rossweisse who was now living in his house and seemed to be helping Grayfia and the others cook dinner.
He widened his eyes slightly, and smiled.
"No, there's no harm in trying a little. After all, everyone is inside the house now."
