Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 832 Shiva and Ajuka’s Thoughts

In a well-lit room within the remaining Devil King's mansion, Ajuka was having some good wine while looking through the window and stargazing, "What do you think?"

On the holographic screen behind him was a handsome young boy with shiny blue-black hair, the current leader of the Hindu Faction, the God of Destruction, Shiva.

Shiva didn't immediately answer and continued watching the Team Urahara Shouten's matches. Soon after, the playback finished and Shiva picked up his own wine, "Interesting, if not downright terrifying."

Ajuka took back his eyes from the stars and looked at his screen, "What a surprise. For you to use the word 'terrifying'. Not even Indra could elicit such a response from you."

After taking a sip, Shiva replied, "That's true... But that's because I understand him. I can even understand the 'Infinite' and 'Dreams' to a certain extent. However, I have not a single clue about this man. Everything about him is contradicting."

"So even you, huh. It's true, the amount of control he has is nonsensical. Calling him a genius is an understatement. Though seeing most people get genuinely enraged at his antics is amusing. He's literally playing with them on the top of his palms."

"You can't really blame anyone, especially the Gods. Since their birth, Gods have been very strong and found needing to control their powers or analyzing everyone they came across next to nothing as they can just blitz their way through to get what they want. If that doesn't work, they'll just scheme in the shadows. The fact that most of them couldn't see through his ruse is the testament to that."

Sighing, Shiva continued, "But it's really incredibly fascinating. Different from you who strived for complete control, and me who wanted to know everything that will ever happen, he's someone who wants to control the future itself."

"Really? I think he's just someone who really likes anticipating everything and catching him off guard is nearly impossible. Though he's really a strange one. I already confirmed his birth and there's nothing out of the ordinary about it."

"Yes. That's one of the contradictory feelings that I'm getting from him. He obviously had been very weak from the start, but the amount of control he has suggested that he didn't gain any spontaneous power. It's as if he slowly cultivated himself for a long period of time and steadily climbed the ladder to the strongest. However, he's just 18 or 19 this year. Too young to do even a fraction of that. The only possibility left is..."

"That he reincarnated with intact memory. But he should've been known at some point in history. I've searched through all the records, including that of Heaven, and even asked a few of the old Gods. I thought that I'd find at least a clue because of the unique system of soul techniques he's using, but there were none connected to it in any way, including the techniques used by Hades and other Gods that preside over souls."

Shiva took another sip from his wine glass before saying, "With the existence of the other worlds proven, there's nothing strange about that anymore."

"I see... If he's really a 'foreigner', then that would explain a lot of things."

"In any case, the gates of the world will open with him as the nexus, and I have no intention of stopping it. Regardless of whatever's going to happen, it'll open an interesting era and we'll have to prepare for it."

"I agree. I'll even help him if he's able to deal with the Trihexa."

While scrolling through his earnings, Kisuke sent some additional funds to Benihime in case she needed more, "Looks like some people are already catching on."

"I'm surprised that we even earned this much before the trend began to fall down. Looks like you really annoyed no small amount of people.", Tiamat replied while also looking at her earnings.

"Well, people aren't stupid. It's hard to believe that all of those are just coincidences. How many more matches do we still need before securing our spot on the main stage?"

"Actually, we just need a few more from relatively high-ranking teams. Instead of random matchmaking, you can just choose from the direct challenges." Tiamat passed him a paper listing all the teams that wanted to challenge theirs and at the top of them were the high-ranking teams, "Though if the other teams started working harder, we might need more."

Kisuke looked through it and the first name he saw was Apollo's team, Team Leisure of the Kings, which was composed of Gods and Monsters from various mythologies. Of course, he immediately ignored them and skipped to the bottom where the teams with similar points as them are located, "We can milk this more, but we should slow down now. We'll accept a match once every few days or a week, starting from the bottom."

"Understood. I'll arrange it."

Athena on the side watched Tiamat leave the room and commented, "Each passing day, the image of her being your secretary becomes more and more pronounced. Were you actually aiming for this?"

"Hey now. That's just an accusation. I don't plan everything that's happening around me. If I had that kind of power, I wouldn't need to make myself busy with various things."

All of a sudden, Kisuke heard Benihime's voice in his head, [Some people are moving around gathering information about the Nekoshou sisters in your care, especially their current whereabouts. Sadly, I haven't been able to figure out who their client is, but chances are that they're Hades' men. As for why, that's even more of a mystery.]

Kisuke's mind immediately recalled Koneko's hairpin that contained the research data about Super Devils and Hades' artificial Devils and made a connection, [Thanks. They'll probably come after me soon enough, but that'll be my chance to plant some more 'bombs'. By the way, how are you doing these days?]

[It's been pretty fun, actually. Especially this internet that the Humans invented. It's pretty neat.]

Kisuke immediately got nervous when she mentioned the 'internet', but calmed himself down and thought, 'It's Benihime. She'll be fine.'

Still, he warned her of the dangers of the sea of information, [...All in all, be careful and don't delve too deep into it. It's only fun till a certain point.]

Not wanting to hear any more lectures, however, Benihime changed the topic, [Before I forget, I came across Aika earlier and due to some coincidences, we ended up being acquainted with each other. Should I stop here?]

Kisuke thought about it for a bit and disagreed, [If it happened naturally and as long as you don't bring her anywhere near the supernatural world, then it's fine. She can also help you learn how to act in the Human world... How is she?]

[She's doing fine and she looks like she's having fun with her friends.]

[That's good.]

[But I can also see confusion within her eyes, though she doesn't seem to know what she's confused about.]

[I could seal her memories and abilities, but there's nothing I could do about her subconscious mind.]

[If you're fine with this then I have nothing to say about it, just that, you're going to regret this.]

Kisuke smiled wryly and said, [I'm always regretting things. This is nothing new.]

Sitting in front of her PC costing thousands of dollars, Benihime cut off her connection to Kisuke. From her headphones, she heard her teammate instructing her of what she should do, "Shut up, trash. If you want to play so much, maybe don't die."
