On screen, Kisuke, Yoruichi and Ophis witness how Medusa mutates. Ophis momentarily stopped eating her cake and stared at the screen slightly interested in the form Medusa took. I was probably due to his concept being represented by the 'Unlimited Switches' so he was curious about the 'Snakes'.
They all ignored how the two men with Harpe were instantly killed and discussed amongst themselves.
"Snake.." murmured Ophis.
Kisuke and Yoruichi looked at each other, "Is this their goal?" ask Yoruichi.
"Maybe..."
"What happened to her?"
"I don't know ... I wish I was there to see this in person, but my guess is that it might be related to its Divine Core." Kisuke adjusted the camera angle to get a better look and noticed that Medusa was still protecting the pendant he gave her, 'What am I going to do with this now? I don't think after reincarnating I will have any problems with women ... I've lived a different life, yes ...'
"Divine Intent?"
"That's what I call ... It was something that was part of his soul that supported his soul and body. It emits the same energy that Cleria describes as Divinity so I call it Divine Core."
"Does that mean Medusa was a goddess?"
"I'm not sure how you should classify gods so I don't know. But I'm sure that's not what Aizen tried."
"So you mean gods are just another race like humans?"
"It's more like that. But they are called gods for a reason because of their unreasonable power especially the gods who represent the concept that gives them destructive power."
"Then is it related to the 'Curse of Medusa' of the legends?"
"Maybe... But this is a problem..."
"What?"
"I have to take that chain off, right?"
"And?"
"The chain came and went into his Divine Core. If there were any changes to his Divine Core then most of the things I prepared became useless. I know it's about this evil aura because it actually came from his Divine Core when he tried to kill himself before, and I think I can use it to pull out that chain... But it's obvious... It turned into something beyond my predictive model."
"Can you still remove it even so?"
"I can... But I need time to check the changes and use the right measures but we don't have that kind of time. I have a feeling that Medusa will not end well if I still let this progress. ."
"Then what are you planning?"
"..." - ".Kisuke was silent for a while and after a moment of contemplation, he looked at Ophis who had already continued eating her cake while watching Medusa slaughter the members of the Perseus Clan using the same magic that she had cast before but was much stronger and did not need any preparation, "Ophis-chan~'s chat. Want to help for a second? I'll give you chocolate-coated marshmallows as a thank you~."
Ophis looked up and tilted her head in confusion, but after a second, she nodded her head. She had no idea what chocolate-coated marshmallows were, but the word chocolate was also on the chocolate cake she was enjoying so she agreed without even knowing what she wanted her to do.
"What are you planning?" Yoruichi asked curiously.
Seconds later, the camera monitoring the owl statue told Kisuke about some changes to it and he immediately scanned the collected data, 'Improving the Divinity level? And intention... There's only one left. Is that the famous Athena? Did he throw the others out? Whyyy?... Whatever... It's much more convenient for me.'
A moment later, the owl statue suddenly shone in a bright golden light and turned into a golden-armored woman that exuded Divinity. He helped the Perseus Clan by transferring his Divinity to the olive tree to strengthen his protection against Pandemonium Cetus Medusa.
Confirming that it was indeed Athena from Teny's words, Kisuke faced Ophis again and said, "Ophis-chan, I heard that you can give strength in the form of a snake. Can you make a snake that strengthens the user but also eats the soul? "
"What's!? What are you trying to do asking for that?" Yoruichi was surprised by what he asked for.
"You know the saying 'fight poison with poison'? I'm aiming for that."
"Isn't that too dangerous?"
"That's... Not if with my supervision~. Who do you think your lover is?"
"A genius pervert."
"Pat~!" Kisuke agreed without the slightest hesitation and turned to Ophis again, "Oh... And please make it transferable and removable."
Ophis nodded and looked at his hand. A black magic circle with an infinity symbol appeared on it. From there, he conjured a pitch-black snake with red eyes and shot towards Kisuke's right arm. The snake coiled around his arm and shrunk into a tattoo. After that was done, Ophis extended her open hand towards Kisuke asking for his payment.
"Hahaha~. It's marshmallows covered in chocolate." Kisuke takes out a tetra pack from his inventory containing a snack but before he gives it to her, he asks for one more thing, "One more thing, Ophis-chan. Move some of your power to this pill." On the other hand, there were pills the size of candy.
Kissing the snacks from the tetra pack, Ophis's eyes lit up and hurriedly transferred some of her strength to the pill. Kisuke took back the pill and patted his hand after handing over his precious snacks.
"What's that for?"
"It's for the disobedient children to be obedient ~."
"?" Yoruichi wanted to ask more, but the fight between Medusa and Athena ended with Medusa being shot to the ground with a sword in her stomach. Athena pulled her sword out and 9 silver chains came out from her stomach coiled around her as she cried out in pain.
"!!!...So he really had a way to activate that chain! Yoruichi, Ophis-chan, I have to go." Kisuke takes Ophis down and Yoruichi separates from her. Kisuke was about to open a portal towards the isolated space when Yoruichi suddenly called out to him from behind.
"Wait on! You know you can't kill everyone from the Perseus Clan, right?"
"I knew... We're lucky someone from there has common sense." Kisuke answered. Even if Elexa wasn't in the Perseus Clan, they couldn't rashly exterminate that clan because they were a large powerhouse in the region. Their sudden disappearance would only create a huge power vacuum that other influences would try to seize. In such a war, only innocent people suffer, supernatural or not. They want to avoid this situation as much as possible. So as much as they wanted to exterminate that clan, they were unable to do so abruptly without establishing any other influence that could take over them peacefully.
"One last thing. Make sure you take him out alive and well."
"No problem~. With the help of Ophis-chan, it becomes easier~." Kisuke then opened up the entire space directly moving it to an isolated space leaving the two behind to watch the screen.
Kisuke appeared in front of Medusa who was sobbing and said, "Hei~. What's with that dirty face? Who made you cry? Want this brother to kick his ass?"
"Ki..suke?"
"Yep~ This is your cute and handsome shopkeeper~."
