Chapter 849 Erebus’ Challenge

Chapter 849 Erebus’ Challenge

The next day, Kisuke received a notice from the Tournament's committee that they'd be canceling today's games due to receiving intel of a suspected terrorist attack on Kyoto. And not long after that, Erebus and a large army of unknown Devils were sighted. Thankfully, the Hero Faction was in the area and Georg was able to assist Yasaka to create an artificial space so that the upcoming battle wouldn't affect the real Kyoto.

"Kisuke! What should we do?" Genshirou came charging into the Belial manor to get Kisuke's opinion.

As if he couldn't be bothered, Kisuke stayed laying down as he answered, "You don't need to get permission from me. And you have your own group that you could go with, don't you?"

Dumbfounded, Genshirou asked, "I-I do... But what about you? Aren't you going to help?"

"Uncle Diehauser and his peerage are already on the way and you do know the current state of the Belial House, so I can't exactly leave this place unguarded."

Genshirou finally understood Kisuke's stance, "I see... I'm sorry for not realizing it sooner. I'll be on my way." With Sona's former peerage members, Genshirou embarked to defend the capital of Japanese Mythology.

'But it's really too strange that it's just the Yokai Faction that's going into action. Are they really that confident or there's a reason why they couldn't move? The fact that they didn't even participate in the Azazel Cup points the scale to the latter. Too bad I don't have any spare resources to investigate them now and half-assed snooping will only work against me.'

A moment later, Nyx and Athena also came in and the former asked, "Can I go? He only joined Hades' side because of a vague promise. If it's me, I think I can convince him to leave his side."

Kisuke sat up and said, "You don't need to."

Athena stepped up and tried convincing Kisuke, "I'll be going with her to make sure that no one will get a clue of our real identities. Please just allow Nyx to convince her brother."

Unlike most Gods that don't care about family relations, Nyx and Erebus' relationship would be akin to a normal human family's brother and sister. It may not be much, and it may also seem to be common, however, Athena knew how much Nyx treasures her big brother and vice versa. In the first place, the only reason my Erebus joined Hades' side is because of Nyx.

Kisuke looked at them with eyes wide open. Nyx thought that Kisuke believed that they were lying about their close relationship, and he couldn't be blamed if he really thinks that way since it's very rare for Gods to have close relationships with their relatives. More often than not, siblings treated each other as enemies for authority, and many of them would resolve it through a life or death duel. This is especially true for those with similar or the same Divinity as a God's pride wouldn't allow an individual with the same authority, more so those from the same faction as him or her.

"It's true! Please believe me!" Nyx pleaded.

But Kisuke only laughed at her desperate plea and this almost sent Nyx into a rampage. Athena hurriedly tried to calm her down but before things got messy, Kisuke replied, "Have the two of you really forgotten?"

Both of them tilted their heads in confusion.

Kisuke sighed at their poor memories and explained, "Even though he didn't have any direct evidence, it's still a very easy feat to conclude that I 'killed' you that day. If your relationship is as great as you've said, then it would explain all the flare he caused to invade Kyoto."

"Flare?" Athena had finally guessed what Kisuke was hinting, "So he's-"

Before she could finish her words, a dense wave of Divine Aura flooded through the entire town, and accompanying it was a defining and authoritatively deep voice, "Kisuke Urahara! Come out here and receive your retribution!"

"Brother!?" Nyx leaped in surprise while feeling the familiar Divine Aura.

"I had my expectations, but to think he really came here. Looks like he's ready to fight to the death. What a brocon." Kisuke said as he finally stood up and faced the direction of the sky where Erebus was silently standing.

Athena, on the other hand, was remorseful and muttering to herself, "Unbelievable... To think I couldn't anticipate this kind of outcome? Is it memory loss? Am I getting too old?"

"Please don't kill him! I'll go talk to him!" Nyx immediately changed her plea.

"And what? Reveal yourself? You're one of my cards so I can't afford to reveal you in this small event. And you don't have to worry, you can still talk to him even after I pummel him into the ground."

"C-can't you just forcefully teleport him to somewhere private? I know you can win but he's almost on par with Ares, a bonafide combat God."

But Kisuke just flew out of the window while leaving behind the words, "It's a good chance to test my strength." In truth, however, Kisuke had already activated numerous traps that he'd placed to forcefully teleport anyone who intruded into the town, but none of them had worked, 'His Spatial Magic is strong. None of these simple traps would work.'

Cleria and Sakura finally arrived in the room where Kisuke was staying and asked Nyx and Athena what was going on. After their explanation, Cleria immediately instructed her officials to evacuate the civilians posthaste.

Erebus was about to issue another warning before finally attacking when he saw Kisuke's silhouette from afar flying towards him. As soon as he confirmed that he was indeed his target, the smoldering flames of his desire for revenge instantly erupted and the darkness around him grew denser.

But a hundred meters away from him, Kisuke suddenly disappeared and before he knew it, a hand grabbed his face and dragged him through the ground, smashing mountains along the way, "Let's take this somewhere else, shall we?"
