Reincarnated With SSS Deathless Skill in Female Dominated World!

Chapter 129: Same (3)

"Why would you say the spirit world first?" Hunter asked, his curiosity quite high at this point.

Ever since that day, he had been wondering what exactly had been motivating the boss' ambitions. Now that he understood her origins, he wanted to know more. She was now also in his hands, so he could force her to speak whenever he wanted, but he was keen on building a proper relationship with her.

Celestia opened her eyes; one of them was red, and the other was golden.

She replied, "If I have an option to only seal one connection first, I'm doubtless choosing the spirit world ten times out of ten. It isn't just because Lucifer is gone, and his curse is flowing in this world. It's because spirits are much more shrewd and scheming than demons. I hate them all the same, but I have a special hatred toward spirits and their methods."

"We can have an honest talk. Take it out of yourself," Hunter sat down. He was no longer just guided by his curiosity. Though he was indeed interested in what happened to demons and spirits after the gods fell, he understood Celestia would have peace of mind after letting out her feelings.

Celestia gazed into him and soon heaved a heavy sigh, "Demons and spirits are the same. They just use different methods. You must have heard about it at some point. If not, then that's it. Spirits play the role of guardian while secretly plotting to get gains at the cost of other lives. They don't care about anything else. Their traditions, too, are disgusting. They stick to them as though traditions are more important than lives. It's because of that tradition that I was conceived, too."

At some point in her life, Celestia's mother had received a message from the holy spirit. This revelation had told her that she was to conceive a child with Lucifer, a miracle that would fulfill the desires of the holy Spirit. The Sun Spirits had supported that decision and kept it silent, too, just like the holy spirit wanted.

Lucifer was intrigued by it and wouldn't really pass a chance to have sexual relations with the spirit of the high order, just a step short of the holy spirits. Things then went astray, and in the middle of it was a poor Celestia who didn't really have a place she could call home.

Her mother died a few years after her birth because the demonic mana Celestia had developed as a fetus hadn't left her body.

Lucifer lost against spirits.

And Celestia had learned of the holy spirits' true nature.

"You know that Nakisha and Brandi are a part of the holy spirit, too? Holy spirits play the role of gods in the spirit world, and they never ever show to others. It gives credibility to their status, but they are nothing more than cowards scared of the return of the real gods. I will always prioritize dealing with spirits because of them," Celestia said, her golden eye widening with disgust and hatred.

Brandi commented from the side, "I'd rather have you not mention our origins, Celestia. I want to tell about them myself should Master inquire."

Celestia just glanced at the purple-black-haired maid and reached a silent consensus with her. On the other hand, Hunter was lost in thoughts. If the holy spirits were plotting to erase all gods from existence for all and once, it was somewhat aligned with Hades' desires.

Alas, he knew that things were never this simple. Should he work with them, they would exploit his powers and then have a final battle with him, for he was Hades, and he wielded the laws of death! If he were to die, those laws would become a part of the universe.

But Hunter wasn't so naive to believe it would happen. Instead, he was sure the holy spirits would use those laws themselves. For that reason, they must be in cahoots with undead spirits like vampires. They need knowledge and means to control the laws of death.

Conversely, Hunter had a graveyard of gods Hades had defeated during the divine war. Keres was also alive within Aimee, so there were already two gods he didn't want to die—himself and his girlfriend. Seraphinas should also receive a divine boon at some point.

She was developing her own divine powers through her skill, though, so Hunter wasn't sure about her future. He would do all to help her, though.

Upon thinking like that, Hunter came to a different conclusion. He wanted Zeus and Poseidon to be gone. He wanted their laws to become permanent and unobtainable parts of the universe, with him reaching his home—the underworld—and living there with his family.

He wanted to have the freedom to leave whenever he wanted, too just so he could have a good time with his women. Also, so that the same mistake never happened, Hunter had to spread his name far and wide. All dead souls should respect and bow before him!

The rest of the gods, spirits, demons, and humans were free to do whatever they wanted.

Unfortunately, it'd take a lot of time to achieve that goal. Hunter was far from his peak, and Zeus or Poseidon wouldn't appear during every battle… also, since he had gone through a few reincarnations already, his Deathless Skill wasn't that omnipotent yet.

Perhaps, in his reincarnations, Hunter was sealed for such a long time that he unactivated his skill and perished to start a new life. That was one of his theories.

Anyway, it was time to think of matters at hand.

"We can reach a consensus with The First Hunter Union," Hunter said, explaining what had happened after Celestia got sealed.

She listened to him attentively, then cast her doubts. "I don't think it will go this smoothly. As we speak, I believe at least two guild leaders have already contacted other Hunter Unions to tell them about the guardian spirit's disappearance. Their goal should be to take over the First Hunter Union with the help of others."

"You mean…" Hunter narrowed his eyes, thinking aloud.

Celestia filled the gaps, "People rarely stop climbing once they start going up the ranks. Once they became guild leaders, their ambitions were halted by no one other than Violetta Lux and other guild leaders. Some people may be able to come to terms with their position and focus on something other than status, but some will always aim for a chance to rise in status; some might have that desire rekindled by a sudden chance appearing before them. Yes, going against The World Order is undoubtedly a rank-up, but in this case, a person doesn't just go up by one, but a few. For the guild leaders I have in mind, it might be too much, and they would rather level up their status one by one. First, they will start with other guilds, then take Violetta's headmistress status. That's what I think their plan is."

Hunter didn't have time to think this far. Perhaps he was too lenient by leaving all of it to the headmistress. Of course, Celestia had a lot of time in his world as the time between his world and the female-dominated world flowed differently. Nonetheless, it was awesome and terrifying how she could read others and scheme like that.

"Let me hear what more you have on your mind," Hunter said.

Meanwhile, Aimee and Seraphina had brought Charlotte to their apartment. Since Hunter told them to not hide anything and that Celestia's skills were now surely weaker because she was in his world, they were honest in their conversation while keeping an eye out for Charlotte's reaction.

It was to see whether she was manipulated or not.

"Celestia… I'm so glad Hunter saved her," Charlotte genuinely smiled, relieved.

It seemed she had as much belief in Hunter as she had in Celestia. It could have been her affection toward him pulling strings, or she was just blindly believing in a man who had turned her younger sister into a happy woman.

Seraphina felt red just from thinking about it.

She then honestly asked, "I thought you were manipulated because… she's a demon."

Charlotte warmly smiled at her sister and patted her hair, "She's a demon, but not Asmodeus. She's not even from the same lineage… Sera, would you hate all humans if a man or woman from our village killed our mother? That's the same here."

Seraphina bit her lips and looked down. For her, the demon was a demon. She didn't think of them as someone she could become friends with. They were like monsters that humans could freely hunt.

No one would be judged after killing a demon. They would be praised instead.

"I remember when I was struggling to increase the rank of my innate skill," Charlotte began a short story, "Since Celestia also has a hidden sun power and I am using the blaze concept, she gave me useful tips when I was just a budding hunter. She had just casually commented on my struggles, but I instantly realized she was someone that I wanted to follow. Back then, she seemed so lonely that I believed that someone who had worked to be this strong shouldn't be so sad. All things led us to become best friends."

Seraphina's cheeks lit with shame.
