Chapter 109: A fox girl?
Leon didn't doubt that he had seen too far ahead — The Oracle's expression was enough to tell him that. Of course, a less rational sight of him didn't mind that choice and his words, for The Oracle was a gorgeous woman whose face rivaled Celes and maybe even excelled owing to that divine charm.
She had long, wavy golden hair and eyes, which had an unattainable charm. Those glittered with so much holiness that Leon was confident that nearly all residents of the Freya World would bow before this woman if they were to see or even catch a glimpse of her beauty.
But for a few individuals, it was different.
The Oracle was like a final reward, instead. Her curves and features drove selected and worthy individuals to chase after the crown. And what crown, one may ask? The Crown Of The World… She stood atop others and overlooked the whole world so only the man who conquered her whole garden could taste the honey straight from her personal honey plot.
At least that's what kind of vibes The Oracle's real appearance induced in many.
Leon was a tad different, however. 'She's one of the loudest flowers.'
When he saw that divine beauty, he naturally relished and enjoyed the view — nothing more than that. Her charm triggered his natural instincts, but the origin of her divine vibes didn't match what Leon yearned for, and that was a slow life with his family.
He didn't want to conquer the world or face dangers unless those involved him somehow. The latter was also questionable and hypocritical, but Leon swore to not run away from his beloveds' problems, so he already expected to face dwarves and succubi, and even more…
And as he saw the past through the dragon maid's bloodline, Leon hated a certain fact. "The Human Emperor and the other three… Well, I don't know that much because Alexandra only saw an image of those five humans after seeing me… And she knows that her race lost their adaptation because of humans wielding divine powers.
"The divine powers are as such: chaos, time, life, death, and space. Each comes from a god. Hence those who wield that divine powers are called sons of the respective gods. Five of them gathered under the same banner once and developed humanity into what we see now… After generations, the hierarchy subsided and became more stable, but every era had at least one human with peak humanity body and the yin physique coming out to cause some problems. Five humans with such bodies and queens never gathered at once in other eras. But The Human Emperor's rumors are real… His queen is alive, so he ought to be kicking alive, too… And, I'm here."
It might seem like Leon didn't have much to worry about since those humans had teamed up in the past. But nothing was more misleading than this! First, Leon hated The Human Emperor and his philosophy. Secondly, how could the other three allow The Human Emperor to rise to the peak and have him lose all his wealth?
That brought Leon to the next point. "You guided humans and monsters to fight him. You provided them with enough information about The Human Emperor's powers and his divine concept. You gave them enough power to defeat the real monster that caused chaos for both humans and monsters. And then, you saved him."
At this point, Leon wanted to know what her plan was. Was she like a game master whose task was to ensure the game was exciting? And who would watch such a game? Gods, right? Leon couldn't think of someone else, so he grew fed up with this concept.
He simply asked. "Your fury tells me that I'm right, so what's the plan?!"
"You must forget about it." The Oracle glared at Leon and didn't tell him any answer to his questions. She leveraged her powers and froze time for the second time.
Leon stood frozen, with anger scrunching his handsome face. He hated those who manipulated others, and now it felt like the whole world was just like a game board with everyone moving according to the wishes of those above them. Perhaps, he was wrong, and the world flowed without anyone's guidance, but he still felt like The Oracle had her share in the events that had happened in the far past.
And while Leon stood silently, The Oracle extended her hand and finally touched his forehead.
But then, she quickly took back her hand and looked at her milky hand, only to see it burning! Even a faint steam oozed out of her slender fingers, shocking her!
"Amaterasu… Sigh… An apple doesn't fall too far from the tree…." The Oracle looked to the side, locking her golden eyes on a woman in a sun yukata sitting on a black chair, with her nine tails happily waggling behind.
The divine beauty was shocked to see a different outfit in that girl's image, for her hair was in two low ponytails tied by golden bells. She even had a neckband with a golden bell and a cute hairpin holding her bangs. The image of the crimson-haired fox woman was different from what The Oracle had seen in the past, which was formal and similar to her divine aura, not giving anyone a chance to be close to her.
This fox had even slid down her yukata, exposing her blushing shoulders and giving a peek at her round and big breasts. She was even bolder with her legs, barely covering them with her yukata, except for her panties. She stretched those slender legs, showing off her allure.
Sneering, Amaterasu comfortably leaned on her chair's arm and hovered her eyes on The Oracle. "Since you are using such a phrase, I am to believe you didn't have any say in sending Leon to Louise's side?" She tilted her little head and glanced at Leon, her cheeks warming up. "I suppose you had seen many future points while giving him a class. You saw him without that disgusting class, you saw him without Louise, you saw him with a different woman, you saw him with a different class… And you were forced to choose the future with Leon and Louise starting their new lives together. Of course, you were."
The fox woman raised her chin and gazed at The Oracle with a clear aura of superiority. "No one can compare to us."
"Arrogant and asinine as usual. You know that Amaterasu is a title, not a name? Yet, you dared to go against the system and usurp that entirely for yourself — you became Amaterasu and took it as a name, not a title! You broke the hierarchy, and the sun's powers are naturally waning because of you." The Oracle didn't hide her contempt for Amaterasu, facing her with the same glare.
Amaterasu scoffed and crossed her legs. "So? What will you do with that? I like this name, so I take it for myself and will never give it to anyone else. I might not be immortal like you, but I got my ways to keep that in my hands, you know? Feel free to try me — you're free to feel regret again."
The two alluring women glared at each other, then the time skill stopped.
Leon blinked and wheeled to a warm source of light that had drawn his attention. "Louise?"
