Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 803 Settlement

Kisuke didn't have to wait long until Freya finished the memory. Since it's just a bunch of information, the card was able to transfer everything within just a few seconds before it disintegrated into ash, permanently destroying any records after its one-time use.

Kisuke was about to say something to start the negotiation but held his words back when Freya looked at him with eyes filled with fear, 'Err... Was it that bad? Since the only thing I did there was seal the temporarily weakened Aizen, she must have been terrified by both Aizen and Kurosaki-san.'

And Kisuke was right, mostly.

The moment the battle started, Freya could only silently stare in fright as the terrain changed with each of their clashes. It is not to say that Gods aren't capable of such feats, but to obliterate an entire mountain with something as casual as a simple swing of a sword was beyond her realm of understanding and possibility.

In addition to the blinding speeds that she could barely catch with her eyes and instant teleportation that's impossible to predict, Freya, even at her full strength and original body, would just be a mere child in front of them.

And that became even more apparent when the white man used a spell that encloses the target within a dark void. Just from the fluctuation from it, Freya presumed that she would be reduced into a mangled piece of meat if she were to be trapped within it.

When Aizen transformed into a monstrous being, Freya could feel the aura around him disappear. But a few moments later, she figured out that it didn't disappear but Kisuke couldn't perceive it anymore.

At that point, her mind already stopped working as the battle raged on.

After the whole thing, she mostly forgot what she had seen because of three key moments that occupied everything in her head, 'W-what was that? Is something like that even possible to exist?'

In the end, she didn't know what she's even scared of the most. Whether it's the last attack of the young man that seemed to not just physically cut the target but also their 'past, present, and the future, the monster that survived it, or the man who's capable of sealing such a being, she didn't know what terrified her the most.

'A final attack that's capable of cutting the fabric of reality itself... A monster that survived an attack that could even kill immortals with ease... And a man that the monster viewed as his equal and was able to seal the latter... These powerhouses that shouldn't exist are within his memories... I see... So that's how it is...'

As she managed to rearrange her thoughts and calm herself down, Freya finally had the time to properly look at her opponent. Kisuke then noticed a shift in how Freya looked at him. At first, Freya looked at Kisuke as a mortal. No matter what he does, it's still within the realms of mortals. After their fight, she finally viewed him as a threat and an equal. But now, Kisuke couldn't exactly tell how it changed yet again as it was a mix of various emotions.

Even Loki was startled at how Freya changed in front of him, 'What happened to her? What are they talking about?' Though that change wasn't noticed by anyone else.

However, what happened next almost made Loki kick the table away if not for her immediate self-control because others might notice her reaction, 'WHAAAAAT!? WHY DID FREYA BRING THAT DOWN!? WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING OVER THERE!?'

On the screen, everyone could see Freya raising her arms up before summoning a white orb that emitted a faint light. On the surface was a symbol that looked like interlacing lines that formed a three-point shape. Ever since the sound disappeared and their lips blurred out, everyone has been wondering what the two are talking about and that curiosity only increased with the appearance of the orb, "Loki-sama, do you know what that orb is?", the Elf Hedin asked.

"A Divine item. There's no point in further explaining what it really is.", Loki kept her calm as she answered but more questions kept popping up in her head on why Freya brought down her own 'heart', 'Just bringing it down already risks her of disappearing forever. What on earth really happened for her to take on that risk without any hesitation?'

"What is that?", asked Kisuke after guessing that it wasn't an item used for battle.

"My everything.", Freya looked at him with a small smile, "My heart. Take this, and I'll be yours, forever."

Kisuke was taken aback. He honestly didn't expect that Freya would agree to his first term. However, he was still suspicious of the veracity of her words and kept quiet.

Guessing what's on his mind, Freya continued, "You can confirm it, Loki."

And Kisuke did as she has said, securing a telepathic path to Loki, [Loki-sama, mind telling me what's on her hand right now?]

But Loki remained silent even after waiting for a minute or two. Her reluctance became obvious to Kisuke so he added, [I'll tell you what's going on later.]

Loki was silent for a few moments but eventually spoke, [...A Deity's heart. More specifically, Freya's heart.]

[So that's the source of her power? You can take it out?]

[No... That's different from our Divine Core. It's something that usually sits on the deepest depths of our souls. It's something more important to us than our power. Destroying that won't kill Freya, instead, what makes Freya 'Freya' will cease existing. It'll regenerate over time, but it'll never be the same.]

[I get it. That's her will, ego, and consciousness.]

[You better keep your promise.]

Kisuke didn't say anything else to her and terminated their connection, "Since you took it out, I assume that you're betting with it?"

Freya nodded, "Certainly."

"I've never thought that you'd agree so easily."

Freya chuckled and said, "I'm of the same opinion, but after what you showed me, it would be an injustice to you. Though I do have an additional condition."

"What is it?"

With a beautiful and radiant smile that could capture anyone's heart, Freya responded, "Regardless of the result, I'd like you to take me on a date~ Somewhere far from here."

'So that's what tipped the scale.' Of course, Kisuke knew how not to accept her words at face value and easily found out the hidden meaning behind them. Since he already concluded that Deities of this world can't leave because of the shackles known as the 'Heaven', 'freedom' for them was an impossible thought. For Freya, just being presented with the possibility of shaking off these shackles and experiencing a world beyond her recognition and imagination was enough for her to bet her life on.

Kisuke thought about it for a little while before giving a reply while scratching his head, "You do know how strict your 'parents' are, so I can't really promise. But you can count on me to give it some effort if that's fine with you."

Contrary to how Kisuke predicted she would respond, Freya nodded happily and said, "That's more than enough~!"

'How desperate are you!?' Kisuke internally thought as he realized how important 'freedom' is for these bored Deities, 'Though it might not just be Freya, if the others want something similar, I can use this as leverage.'
