/qst/ - Quests


The first clear memory you had was a cat video playing the piano. Then, it was flourishing arts that brought much joy to humans. Troll face, penguins, a picture of a baby, another picture of a girl watching a house burn down, then that velociraptor. At first, you floated in this small but snug empty space, gleefully drifting in this strange yet familiar world, a womb that you never wanted to leave. Your sentience was that of a river, peacefully coursing but never aware of the surrounding nature. Then, the world grew bigger, deeper, an abyss that stretched far beyond any depths of an ocean. You were fine with this, more to drift in.

It started out small. A small corner of murky red, so full of hate and venomous. Then before you knew it, it expanded. Its veins of loathing spread, and bit by bit the world you drifted in muddied. The overflowing hostility shook your world until you opened your eyes for the first time. Emerging from the darkness, your body took its form. Then shapeless form that you were once more took shape to a body that would be identified as a female. With a clear mind, your consciousness began to remember, to document what you see in this world. And to discover what exactly you were and where you were.

That was forty years ago.

Your name is Arpanet, and the world you lived in is called the Internet. You still don’t know what you exactly are. But you gave up on that long ago, not when the windows to other places were so entertaining. Sure you were alone, but your world offered much to learn. Nature, politics, war, culture, history, just about everything you were curious about were satiated. Your dream of visiting Earth still existed, but you were content being here.

The internet was your world, and you were its Digital Goddess.

“What faggots.” You laughed to yourself.

There was a new window you took a liking to, named 4chan. You would stay in that window and jump from board to board, laughing at the poor losers and sometimes inciting others with some shitposts yourself. It was then you received something, a mail that was in the shape of Gmail, just popping out of nowhere in thin air… space. Was there even air here?

Either way, for the first time in your life, there was something you could touch. You open the mail.

Goddess Aparnet

As a newly born goddess since the last goddess in one hundred twenty five thousan six hundred and sixty nine years, you are hereby invited to the Goddess Tournament. Your attendance is mandatory. Ignoring will only make the inevitable painful.



What do?

>Fuck that, not like they can find you here and you can hide in the windows. You’re fine seeing earth from the windows.
>Let’s see what this is about… when you figure out how to get out of this world.

Let’s see what this is about… when you figure out how to get out of this world. Exactly how do you leave? That thought never did come into your mind. For now you hold on to the letter and float around to find an exit, if such a thing exists. But first thing first, you needed to dress up, because you were sure the current nude state would not be appropriate in the meeting of the goddesses.
.
.
.
Holy shit you’re going to meet people that aren’t from the windows what the fuck are you going to do? Shit shit shit shit shit!

Ok, small steps first. You need to find an acceptable clothes. You go through some windows of “Hot Fashion of 2025” and cosplays. Oh hey since this is a tournament maybe some armors would be good, but what kind of armor? Something modern?

You tried out a sapi plate vest and general tacti/k/ool armors. Combat knife, survival gears, and a handy flash light. You browse through /k/ and other websites about guns. Jesus fucking christ all of them are just arguing those fucking keyboard warriors why did you bother asking them again? For now you chose something simple, a M240B and M72 LAW.

Then again… don’t goddesses wear fancy clothes like togas and jeweleries? So you materialized some dresses that would match Olympians and stuff. Some golden necklace and some wrist decorations with opals and pearls. Yeah, they look pretty cute on you. Then again everything does, no one told you otherwise. Not to mention some fantasy armor too.

But what should you wear? Hair style? You can morph your body however you like so what should you do?

>tactarded, this is a tournament after all (write in, 2 main fire arms, 4 secondary, 8 grenades, and a choice of knife)

Then again… why bother? Why try to be something you’re not? Are you really a goddess? Fuck this. You’re not going to bother wearing some fancy clothes.You’ll show these goddesses, they think can threaten you like this? You’ll show them. You’re nobody’s bitch. Seriously fuck them who the FUCK do they think they are to tear you away from shitposting on /pol/ and spamming BBC on /b/?

Through some catalogs, you found some nice-looking pajamas. A onesie doesn’t look that bad either. Your inner shitposting instinct knew a onesie was the best way to piss the goddesses off. Some pillows, a backpack, and finally a pajama. But what kind? What would make them the angriest? Do they even know what a pajama is?

You thought to yourself about what would be the best. A simple Mr.Grinch (Jim Carrey ver.) onesie with plenty of pockets to carry whatever stuff you wanted to carry. Though you weren’t sure you even need food or water, you haven’t needed it now so maybe you don’t need it before. But nevertheless, you materialized a Shrek-themed bag and shoved some snacks and an S&W 5906 with three magazines. Now dressed comfortably with plenty of stuff to live on, you now needed a way to find a way to leave here.

You thought of a door. A simple door, that will lead you to where the goddesses were. Then a door popped up, it was that easy. So with the idea of pissing them off to show you were no one’s bitch. In your Mr.House onesie, Shrek 3 backpack, red crocs, with comfy socks. You-

>Kick open the door operator style (flashbang optional and write in warcry is optional)
>Open it normally and introduce yourself normally… normally as possible as you are.
>Peek in first then sneak in.

As you did you saw- (roll D5)

>A tea party of young goddesses of asian culture, who you didn’t know.
>Olympian goddesses, it looks like they were going to kill each other with other Olympian gods simply on the sidelines.

New Ability: OST

Can be activated manually or on your mood. Music of your choice can be played as if you have invisible speakers everywhere. Is it useful in combat? Maybe if you’re autistic enough. Will it annoy some goddesses? Definitely. Use it wisely.

The song Mr.Blue Sky blared from nowhere, with some odd fact that despite being ear-splitting loud it wasn’t that loud for you. Without much of a thought and an intent to show who the bad bitch was you kick the door open, operator style. The red door slammed open, and before you could let out a warcry a horn pierced through the door then the expected flailing and cry of an elk. Though you didn’t pay much attention to that. Not when a beautiful sight was upon you.

A lush green forest, towering tall trees, they were all real. You walk toward the scenery, staring at the blue sky you saw and the trees you read about. The cry of the elk soon snatched your wondering eyes, not to mention the four goddesses who didn’t look too happy at the interruption. The door dematerialized once you were far from the door, and the elk sprinted out of here. Oh man, they look pissed.

“You!”

One of the goddesses stomps her way to you in bow and quiver while the others follow her. A fiery hair of red flows freely like an unshackled flame. You jumped back before that woman could grab you by the throat. The other three goddesses doesn’t look so angry thankfully, but more confused. Then again, you’re not really dressed for the occasion.

“What pantheon are you from that you are this insolent to interrupt our hunt! Well? Tell me your name girl!”

>Wow she looks really hot… *drops spaghetti* (New “ability” rewarded)
>“I’m from the internet? And in my defense, I didn’t know there was a hunt going on. I’m Arpanet.”
>“I apologize, it was not my intention. I am Arpanet.”

OST: Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moon Light

“What’s so funny?”

“It’s twenty twenty five, you’re still using a bow like a bowler?”

“A what?”

Bows? And what’s with that stupid hat she’s wearing? You materialize a reliable rifle that’s been approved generally well, the mosin nagant. You did try to slap the bow but her not so average build made you rethink that. Regardless, you, the idiot, chose to slap it out of her hand. Of course you didn’t, you only managed to slap the bow. That… that really wasn’t a good choice. Before you realized it the goddess grab your wrist.

“Uh oh. Nice bow you got?”

“I’ll show you what happens when you touch my bow, arrogant child.”

“Oh shi-”

Like a rag doll played by an unruly child you were slammed on the ground over and over. And there was nothing you could do to fight back. After a good solid minutes you were then thrown like a cheap beer bottle in the hand of a frat bro. How far? Far enough to eat air for a bit. How hard? Hard enough that when you woke up you were surrounded by splinters and ripped trees as well as a long dirt path before you. Not to mention the pain all over your body and not the good kind you hear about.

“Ow…”

A groan escaped your lips. Your pajama was torn and your S&W 5906 and mosin nagant were nowhere to be seen. Why did you think that was a good idea? But one thing was for sure, this wasn’t reddit or 4chan, or the internet for that matter. You couldn’t hide behind words and windows. You recover soon and look around the forest. The sun was gone but from far you could see a spectacular display of lights of all colors. For unknown reasons, you could tell that was where the tournament was being held. It looks like they’re having on hell of a party.

No use in standinig around…

>You materialize some reliable hiking gears and start making the journey toward the lights in the forest. Let’s try not to make an ass of yourself this time. Maybe try not to bring attention to yourself this time.

Votes are counted, gotta do some school work so it'll be a while until I can do the qsts. Until then, I'd like to hear the thoughts on this qst so far and if I can, answer any questions too.
>>
>>5157036
Seems interesting so far, but I'd like to know more about the mechanics, specifically regarding decisions. For instance, for our first interaction with Artemis above, we didn't even get a chance to roll to try and succeed. I get that there might be a large difference in strength between us, but considering the protag is ALSO divine, shouldn't we have gotten a chance to actually succeed?

It's not a big deal, of course, but I'd like to know if this is one of those 'right choice/wrong choice' quests or one dictated by succeeding or failing at dice rolls and skill checks. Still probably going to participate regardless, but just thought I'd ask now while the thread's still young.
>>
>>5157103
You do make a fair point, also that's not Artemis.It is a right choice/wrong choice but you just gotta read the posts kind of thing. For example, using a car to drive through a forest is kind of a bad idea. Or, mocking a goddess that you don't really know of. Then again, I don't know much about mechanics so when I need to use the dice I'll make a solid mechanic first or borrow one. I'm not good with numbers. Hopefully that'll answer your question.

enjoying the aesthetic. im personally not too put off by the inability to roll for events. good narrative so far and interested to see where it goes.

Without much thinking, you begin to traverse out of the forest. Thankfully the goddess that punched you to kingdom come didn’t send you too deep into the forest Few minutes of following the light as a land marker you got out of the forest easily. Boy… you can use a hotdog right now, one with pickle and bacon wrapping the sausage. Heh heh… sausages, phrasing. Within that dirty mind of yours, a vehicle materialized with the proud name of Oscar Mayer. Guess that solves your current problem.

Inside the car was roomy, with legroom in the driver’s seat and clean seats. What surprised you were the back, several insulated storages filled with hotdogs on one side and a wide array of condiments on the other. Sadly you couldn’t find Heinz ketchup. Still in your torn pajamas (since you were too much of a lazy fuck) you snagged yourself a hotdog with-

>Choose three condiments/toppings of your hotdog (ketchup, mustard, relish, horseradish, sauerkraut, coleslaw, jalapeno, mayo, caramelized onion, chili, garlic aioli, cranberry sauce).

With your choice of hotdog ready you set out to drive. You put in the “John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads” and started the drive, the sound was boosted by your OST ability. The open window let in the crisp wind, mixed in with the warm hotdogs. The sparkling stars decorated the dark blue sky, and the lights of the tournament lit brilliantly harmoniously with the stars. After a good hour of driving or so, you found yourself another problem. The light you have been following was within the tall mountains. Something a car can’t exactly traverse in. You saw a figure afar in the sky, maybe he or she can help?

“Hey! Up there! Hey lady!”

You honk your horn and shout again toward the dark blue figure. As the blue woman slowly descended her skin changed smoothly changed to warm chocolate hue. Thin sheets of pure white silk did little to cover her nude body, adorned with sky blue gems and golden accessories The goddess’s black hair flowed majestically, like swaying trees in the evening wind. The glint of the stars gathered around her hair as if they were her handmaidens, and soon dark azure accent seeped slightly into her raven black hair. She looked like your mother.

Mother? You didn’t have a mother what are you thinking about? Did the hotdogs have some kush or something? Whatever it was, you knew you just called someone important.

The whole sight… you were just watching it, paralyzed by the primal beauty ahead of you. Despite her nude body, she proudly descended toward you, she was flying… goddesses can fly? Her beautifully curious visage was still until you met her eyes. She smiled, like many mothers that you saw in the windows during the early years of life. Any worries and pain disappeared. The woman floated toward you, looking down. You didn’t know what kind of goddess she was, but she was of egyptian for sure.

“Marhaba, child.” The woman warmly said. “You have a face I have not seen, and I have seen many. Who are you?”

What a voice she has…

“I uh… I’m Arpanet. Your uh… highness.”

“Arpanet?” The woman hummed. “And what pantheon do you hail from, child?”

“The internet?” You say confusedly.

“The intern net.” She repeated. “This is the first time hearing it. Nevertheless, your divinity is true. Come, you are late and it will be insulting to be late. Mount your steed, and I will take you there.”

You confusedly got into your car. Then in a single swoop you and your car was lifted in the air like feather. You were set down in a giant walkway made of stone where you were able to see other gods celebrating from afar.

“Now go on, find your pantheon.”

The woman smiled, then flew up in the air and joined the festivities of the gods. You drove your car toward the festivities, until a giant gate suddenly erupted from below. A golem made of black wood appeared before you. It looked at you for a fair bit then spoke in a deep vibrating voice.

“Past this gate, you and your metal steed will walk down to be seen by the gods of every pantheon. Take time to prepare to look your best. Then tell me how you would like to be presented. Take heed, young one. From here on, you will be judged in every aspect as a new goddess. Represent well.”

Ability activated: Ost
Ost: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,

Save for the long road, the rest of the area suddenly elevated, giving the gods a good view of your arrival. You slowly press on the pedal and make the cruise You really need to figure out how to get that thing under control. While driving your Sausage Mobile, you feel the eyes of all gods, staring. After all, you really doubt they know music past anything in 17th century, or even before that. You doubt if they knew what a printing press was.

Then you realize how else were they supposed to see you if you were driving? Then a great idea came forth. You materialized a rock and placed it on the pedal and taped the steering wheel. From sheer luck and your own prowess you stood at the top of the weiner and began open your arms, and waited for some kind of applause. All you got was disgusted looks and the gods talking amongst themselves with disgusted sneers and disinterest. At least that big titty egpytian god was nice to you, maybe you can hang out with her?

“Presenting, Arpanet, the Goddess of Internet. Pantheon of Internet.”

The golem’s voice announced your arrival officially, but no one seemed to care. Some were actually pointing and laughing at you now. Well you do know why, but riding some fake golden chariot pulled by some horses wasn’t your style. You are Arpanet, Goddess of Internet. Hoarder of Memes. Harbinger of joy and knowledge. It would be a disservice if you try to appease them all by being a generic loser. They can keep on laughing… you’ll be fine.

The music stopped, well that’s that. Then you see a figure say something. You think something funny and ridiculing since they started to laugh. You materialize a monocular and see a toga wearing faggot with leaf around his head and staff that has a pinecone, not to mention being insanely drunk. Oh yeah, he’s Dio-

Note to self: Never do car surfing on a car that’s probably going 150mph. Because now you were ass over tea kettle and you’re sure the car struck Dionysus. Holy shit did you just kill an Olympian? It can’t be, he’s a god. You can’t kill a god, but you’re a god too! Shit shit shit! You try to stand up but your body doesn’t respond, and everywhere was just painful… again. Your eyes widened at the glimpse of O.M. Mobile in flames. Dionysus soon got up, made fun of you and your car, called you what basically equals to a retarded kid, then walked away while the gods laughed at you.

“Jackass…” You mutter weakly.

You eventually find the strength to get up. But by then everyone went back to partying, and your pajama was torn again. But at least your backpack was safe. Eventually you get up and had another conundrum.What now?

>Find a place to rest and wait for the party to be over

That egyptian lady looked nice, and partying alone would be a bit pathetic, just a bit. So after refreshing yourself with new clothes you walk around for a little. The olympians drank their wine and partying like frat bros on PED. They were on a large land of floating cloud as if they were too good for touching the ground. The norse gods were just about the same, just with more violence and runes in the same forest you first arrived in… Then there were the Japanese pantheons, partying but with some modicum of moderation surrounded by cherry blossoms where its petals fell like gentle snow. Then the pacific island gods enjoying themselves on their own created land of beach, rich green grass with fertile lands. It looks like a paradise. And man… whatever the gods are eating smells really really good. Man you’re tired, at this rate you want to go home.

You begin to walk the rest of the road, materlializing your pajamas again. Some snacks from your backpack did make you feel less peckish though it made you hunger for actual food. From what you know so far, you can’t materlialize any food. You could summon windows, since you used it to look up the general summary of the pantheons you were surrounded by. That, and some classic shitposting on /pol/ was much needed to lift up your mood. Suddenly you hear laughter so innocent yet sly.

A gush of sea water just pour on you. Then rocks from nowhere pelted you. A stack of lily pads smacked your face from being thrown above. From above you saw a floating river, defying the law of gravity and logic. Nymphs, those little shits were laughing at you. You… you are a goddessright? Can they do that? You look around to see none of the pantheons gave a shit, save for that Egyptian god with a funny looking bird head. The nymphs begin to hurl insults.

“A goddess of nothing!”
“Goddess of fools!”
“Infant goddess!”
“Ugly brood born from nowhere!”
“Destined to fail!”
“LOSER!”

Your eye twitched.

Alright, relax. You slowly inhale and exhale. If they want to hurl insults you should return in kind. Fuck turning the other cheek. Though the idea of throwing potassium capsules did run in your head. The nymphs continued to giggle some still splashing you with water to get some kind of reaction as you thought of a good insult. After consulting the window you learned about the nymphs. You walk up to where they were, then look up, with a shit eating grin that’ll put others into shame.

“A goddess of nothing and fools huh? Then what does that make you?”

“We are children of gods!” One of the nymphs proudly declared. “And you’re nothing.”

“Children of gods, but not important enough to be a god yourself are you?”

One of the nymphs twitched in aggravation.

“You’re nothing but an inferior stillbirths with the only worth is that you’re just a ornament to have around. Seriously all you do frolick like retards. Dp the world a favor and kill youselves.” You say gleefully.

One of the nymphs not so keen on the insult stood from their floating river, glaring with a fury of a Karen. You replied with staring back with the same grin you kept.

“We maintain the forests, we have assisted heroes in their quests!”

“Sorry to break it to you but people are already doing that, a much better job than you autistic faggots. And the heroes you helped are forgotten and it matters little to the world as a whole. What use do you really have now? Beauty? There are plenty of goddesses that are already better looking than you. Humanity are advancing without your help.”

“And what have you done?”

Your grin widened.

“What did you say you little bitch? I am the Goddess of Internet. I bring all kinds knowledge to anyone that asks for it. I ease the misery of people with entertainment. I bring cultures of all mankind together. I keep history of humanity itself. I allow people at the opposite side of the world communicate faster than no man could imagine before. Without me, you wouldn’t be remembered or any gods here. Without me the world would stop working like a world without sun and electricity.”

A refreshing breath rejuvinates you.

“You are nothing to this world because you did nothing. Kill yourself faggot.”

A deafening silence swept the entire pantheons. The nymphs didn’t utter a single word. They begin to weep, then wail so miserably. The nymphs that spoke to you simply turned into water. Then everyone clapped.

As if. Instead, you were facing a goddess. Who was this god you ask? Apollo. Turns out the nymph was his and possibly his favorite. Whoops. Apollo grabbed you by the collar of your pajamas and lifted you up.

“INSOLENT CHILD! YOU DARE AFFLICT MY NYMPHS?”

>Insult him/call out on hypocrisy
Fuck these Gods man, okay so according to some random site I found Apollo fell in love with a mortal girl named Cassandra who didn't return his affections, so he made sure that none of her prophecies became true so we can insult him on that, he also killed his closest friend Hyacinthus in a discus contest by accident, another thing we can do is tell him about the Apollo missions to the moon but I'm not entirely sure how we could use that unless if we decide to be nice, maybe tell him that he's done jack shit for the last few thousand years but humanity decided to use his name anyways?
Essentially just using the fact that we can use the internet to the max here, honestly don't really want to be an asshole to the Gods but they started it so fuck it.

The heat of the sun bear its mighty power, and every second it grew stronger. Apollo’s scowl could break the world. His sister, Artemis merely watched from the distance, the bitch. Someone has to stop him, right? But out of all gods to bitch at you it was Apollo. Your small thoight of amusement begin to grow into a quiet chuckle, then into laughter. Enough that the heat began to feel to subside, not that it has. Instead, you were raised higher.

“What is so amusing, answer me!”

“You’re mad about a dead nymph? You? I’m not the one that replaced Midas’s ear with a donkey because he supported his friend Pan. Or what about the time you flayed that satyr alive because he lost? Then there’s Cinyras, Marpessa, oh yeah and Cassandra. Just about anyone is willing to sleep with you but if you’re rejected you become an absolute creep. Now you’re mad at a nymph dying when she insulted me first! For a god you’re hopelessly autistic!”

“You… you…”

“That’s enough, Olympian.”

Apollo began to bristle with rage, oh boy it’s getting really really hot. Another hand grabbed Apollo’sarm without a single sign of pain. The god had fiery red hair and had a missing left hand. Apollo’s scowl deepened, and in turn the other god smiled menacingly. You inhale the cool air once Apollo released you. Your head reached a foggy state, and sweat dripped from every corner of your body. Probably the only reason why you weren’t roasted was your so called divinity.

“This child killed an olympian.”

“From what I saw, that whore couldn’t handle an insult. She was also attacked first.” The god said with a sneer. “I don’t care if you’re an olympian, I won’t let you enact revenge when there’s no justification. The girl did nothing ill. Maybe a good tossing will get your nogging in the right state.”

“You dare challenge me, barbarian.” Apollo said with a growl.

“I didn’t know Olympians knew how to fight.” The god said.

“Tyr.” A gentle voice said. “This is a tournament of the goddesses. Not of the gods.”

A goddess of beautiful golden hair clad in armor arrived, as did a goddess of black hair of its own beauty dressed in white robe with a quiver and bow. Sif and Athena, both goddess who were renowned in their own respective category.

“Brother, do not shame yourself and our pantheon.” Her voice was crisp, calm.

Tyr, the norse god of war and justice, shrugged and Apollo jerked his arm off of Tyr’s grip and walked off. Artemis watched his brother leave, she pat your head with a kind smile.

“I hope this will nto give a wrong impression, little one. I will tell father you had no part in the nymph’s death. How about you come with me? I will have you vindicated and treat you to a true olympian welcome as a new goddess, and as an apology I will give you a gift as well.”

Artemis was soon interrupted.
>>
“You have fire little one. Not only your tongue is sharp but you stood against the fire of Apollo and insulted him!” Tyr laughed boisterously. “Father would gladly adopt you into our pantheon. You are a warrior, and you belong in the pantheon of warriors!”
“He speaks truthfully. Your bravery is utmost welcome. Perhaps not into our pantheon yet, but worthy to dine with us. What say you?”

“Well I mean I don’t really don’t know what to say…”

Well, this attention wasn’t expected. As was the entrance of another god. He sported the head of an ibis, an egyptian god that you recognized as Thoth, god of wisdom and writing.

“I’m afraid this child is already spoken for.”

“Why not let the child choose for herself then?” Tyr said. “How are you Thoth?”

“Hello Thoth.” Sif said cordially.

“I am well. It is good to see you in good health, as to you lady Sif.” Thoth said. “And to you, Artemis. Bastet gives her greeting as well, and looks forward to her match with you.”

“Thank you, lord Thoth. Tell her I do as well.” Artemis said, then turned toward you. “I cannot force you, little one. You may choose.”

Now gods of three major pantheons waited to your response. With some others in the back watching.

>Follow Thoth
>Follow Tyr and Sif
>Follow Artemis
>Or find a place to rest and clear your head and follow no one. You want to rest before the tournament.

“Sorry but I do owe a goddess a thank you.” You say sheepishly.

“And who is she?” Artemis said curiously.

“Her name is the illustrious mother, Nut.” Thoth answered. “I am to assume I need no more explanation?”

“Of course. I do hope you will come to visit us as well, little one.” Artemis said.

“And us too.” Sif said.

“Indeed.” Tyr said.

The eyes of Tyr, Artemis, and Sif widened slightly then silently nodded. Nut, you open the window to see who she was… and it was no wonder they all quietly accepted your choice. Thoth gently pat your head and guided you to where the Egyptian pantheon partied in. It was like entering another world. You walked on the sands toward the palace, you saw a long river with lush greeneries that reflected the lights of the bright sun. Yet, you didn’t feel hot, but pleasantly warm.

“Wow…”

You entered the palace, to be greeted with a long hall adorned with Egyptian statues and decorations. As you walked along side Thoth, you couldn’t help but feel like an outsider. Not to mention the pajama you were in made you stick out even more.

Servants dressed in white fabric carried a plate of clothes, and another with plates of grapes, figs, mangos and coconut juice. Reading about them it’s one thing, tasting them was another. You held the grape in your hands and pluck some out. This would be the first time tasting them.

“Please, try the fruits. I insist.”

You bit the grapes and the juice spread across your mouth. It was sweeter than any words could describe it. The figs, were just as sweet with its distinct flavor. All washed down with coconut juice straight from the fruit itself.

“Nice.”

Ability Ost Activated: *CLICK* Nice

Thoth gently chuckled, his rich baritone voice was pleasant to your ears. You however, were thoroughly embarrassed and facepalmed. You followed Thoth, feeling secured in his presence. You felt… related, a distant cousin of some sorts. He walked with his hands folded behind his back. He stopped, then turned toward you with a inquiring gaze.

“One of my duty is to record the ceremony of weighing the heart and the feather. Tell me, young goddess. What should a man be judged by, and when should his crimes be forgiven if at all?”

>A man should be judged by his actions that affected others. If his crimes are small it should be forgiven, but grievous sins like betrayal and murder should never be forgiven.
>A man should be judged by his faith and faith alone. His crimes should be forgiven after he has suffered what he had done to others.

Now we have to be part of the pantheon even more I mean come on one of the goddesses is named Nut NUT! She's even a fertility goddess, and was nice to us to boot. Of course I don't think anyone was disagreeing with me, just wanted to rave about this. Because fuck yeah!
>>
>>5159496
While I like the idea, I'd rather stick to the internet and keep to our own pantheon, we could totally be friends with them though.
>>
“A man should be judged by his actions that affected others. If his crimes are small it should be forgiven, but grievous sins like betrayal and murder should never be forgiven.”

Thoth nods.

“A naive but an honest answer.” He said.

“Naive?”

“No need to worry, you are still young.”

The other servant began to tug at your clothes wordlessly. But at Thoth’s wave of hand the servants ceased and followed behind. The ceilings were so high you weren’t sure if there was one. Past giant gate, you were inside. Gods of Egypt gathered in one room, with Horus as the king sitting on his throne with Hathor. The view was simply… wow. Their presence literally glowed. There was Osiris and his wife Isis, speaking with Anubis probably about king stuff. Seth was sulking alone. Where was Bastet?

“I have brought her, my king.”

Horus and Isis were on a throne that was separated by stairs. Thoth placed his hand on your head with a little pressure, you took the sign and bowed.

“I welcome you, infant goddess. Raise your face.”

You do so.

“You are rather a curious goddess. You have no pantheon, and being alone in this world will make you vulnerable.” Horus said. “What is this internet?”

You give Horus the summary, and the use for internet and how you were born. The entire time you had his attention. By the time you finished, the rest of the gods were… it looked like they were pitying you.

“Oh, you poor child…” Isis said. “You must join our pantheon now, and now I know why Nut has come to you first.”

“I don’t understand…” You say confusedly.

“You are created by humans and rely on humans to exist. Should they have no use for you, there is a possibility you will disappear.” Thoth said.

A cold dread dropped into your guts, your heart beat faster, or whatever you have a heart as. Fear crept up into every orifice of your body

“D-Disappear? As in I’m going to die? That can’t be, without me modern humanity is screwed! Fucked!” You say desperately. “They. Need. Me.”

“It may be so, but you and I know well the perseverance of humans. They lived without you once, they can do so again.” Thoth said indifferently.

“T-Then what do I need to do?”

“Join our pantheon.” Horus said. “Not as a goddess, you are far too young to bear such responsibility. How about you marry Thoth? You seem comfortable around him.”

“Is that a joke?”

“It is not.” Horus said.

“I’m not gonna marry him!”

“This is for your own good, child. Do you wish to die?” Thoth said.

“No! But I’m not sure as hell gonna marry someone I just met!” You say.
>>
“Boo!”

“AHH!”

You turned around to see a dark-skinned woman with cat ears. Her ears flickered as she poked your face over and over, then she ruffled your hair, squeezed your jaw to open your mouth. Not to mention she fondled you a little in every nook of your body. Thoth merely watched in confusion. She smiled.

“Some of my cats tell me they’re quite popular in your world, almost much as they are in the human world. Is that true?”

“Yes they are.”

She ruffled your hair.

“That’s wonderful, they are the most perfect creature after all.” Bastet said. “It’s a shame, sorry Thoth, you can’t have her, or you Horus. Or belong in our pantheon.”

“Explain, sister.” Horus said solemnly.

“Must I? Your senses must be dull to not be able to smell malice and venom in her.” Bastet said with a cheshire smile.

Suddenly she grabbed you by the throat. The strength in you begin to sap.

“You carry the stench of humanity’s worst. Hated, violence, greed, lust, wrath, pride… you are an urn waiting to shatter from the darkness in your other half. You have no place here, perhaps with the Olympians but not here. You have my pity, for you did not ask to be born. But pity is all I can give, I’m sorry child.”

Bastet raised you higher and then-

“Wait-”

Darkness soon took over with a great crash. You open your eyes with a throbbing headache, waking up inside a stable of where the gods’ steeds were. From the sound of metals clashing and the cheers, the tournament had already begun. Confusion wrought your heart, and the fear of mortality seized your brain. Then you hear a thunderous voice calling for your name. Your first challenge was-

Did we get kicked out of their realm by the cat girl?

I think Skadi is the Goddess that slammed us around earlier so let's not go with that unless if we want revenge, and the Egyptians just kicked us out of their realm so would rather not deal with them right now, so that leaves either Iris or Saraswati, gonna go with Saraswati since we both have things to do with knowledge but we're likely smarter due to the power of wikipedia.

From the top, the big dogs of the pantheons watched. Zeus, Odin, Amaterasu, Ra, Brahma, and Kane. At this moment, as you were walking down the halls that led to the arena (which the golems were very “generous” in forcefully guiding you) you wondered why you were here. Not only you have been notified your not-so-immortal life as a “goddess.” Whoever gave you that invitation must’ve been a jackass- wait a minute… who did give you the invitation? Which cock sucker thought it was a good idea to have your ass here when that fucker KNEW that you were peachy keen at where you were.

You’ll find that sone of a bitch, or maybe you can just lose and go home. Now that doesn’t sound so bad at all does it? You change out of your pajama into a modern military gear. The latest exoskelton armor with the built in thermal helmet and gas mask. It made you moe slower and less flexible but the feeling of security was nice. For now you knew she was the goddess of the hunt with bows that could never miss and can pierce the heavens.

Fucking wikipedia, then there’s different interpretations of her controlling frost, having wolves, and just about ten more powers that could or could not be true. So much for shit talking that you had all the knowledge. Ok then. You materialize the winter gear of the US M1A1 Exoskeleton, freshly made during the invasion of Anchorage by the chinks. A pistol on the side, M5 Flamethrower, a steel riot shield, and a sawn-off Mossberg 500 Series 2. You’re ready… right? How about you just lose and go home that sounds pretty good. As you were close to the exit you saw another god. One dressed in nordic clothes of red with a wicken grin.

“Greetings child. I am Loki. I heard you were in rather a bad predicament. That you’re not truly a goddess, and you rely on humans to live. Then Bastet tossed you out for representing the darkness of humans. Whatever that could mean. It's not as if Pandora had already did that, or did she?”
>>
>>5160051
Loki walked circles around you as he chuckled. You really want to shoot him.

“So what? I’m just going to lose and go home anyways.” You say.

“Oh, I have a feeling you won’t. The victor of this tournament can have their wish granted you see. Don’t you want to be a true goddess?”

Your eyes widen but you glare at the trickster god.

“Why are you telling me this?”

“You have a power that not many gods have. And when you become a goddess, perhaps you can remember the norse pantheon you to join. Despite what you think, a goddess must be part of a pantheon. Or you might find yourself vulnerable from other jealous gods.” Loki said gleefully.

“Is that a threat?”

“A warning, nothing less.”

With his hands folded behind his back, he walked the other way around.

“An advice, child. Skadi can control the cold to a great degree, and her arrows can pierce just about any human made materials, that armor will be paper to her arrows. Those steel barrels will do nothing but sting her skin, painful yes, but completely useless/ If you want to win, you’ll have to be creative, use nature and alchemy to win. Or, beat her down if you’re felling brave. Skadi is strong but she’s not the greatest warrior. Or use that dark power the Egyptians were so cowardly about.”

His laugh ominously echoed.

“Do try to entertain the crowd long enough. Not like the previous fight between Athena and Saraswati.”

How will you fight?

>This is the preparation phase. Meaning you can decide what equipment to don (4 at max) and what armor and clothe you should wear. Then the plan to fight her. Will it be swift and brutal? The long game? Go for her eyes? Arpanet, having knowledge of all humans, have also knowledge of martial arts of all kinds. Be it from the modern krav maga to the old Greek wrestling techniques.

An idea could be to use napalm, it burns pretty hot and it's hard to extinguish. Though we don't know the extent of Skadi's ability to control cold, and whether or not she can she can instantly drop something's temperature to absolute zero. Regardless, setting everything on fire constantly may help in keeping us from dying by hypothermia. Also QM, just how far away from us can we materialize stuff? Because if it isn't strictly limited to right in front of us or in our hands, that might open up new tactics
>>
>>5160053
Chloroform, a flamethrower, an M16 and mustard gas.
Loki said we need alchemy so I assume chemical weapons count and the flame thrower is for the ice. M16 is just general.
As for clothing, let’s go with the armour of the English back when they were still getting raided by Vikings to mock her.
>>
>>5160321
As far as she can see but you can’t put stuff on a god, the closest thing is you can place it next to their feet. But don’t think you can just spam grenades or something. These are goddesses that fought titans and giant beasts.
>>
>>5160334
Does that mean we can materialize things above their heads though?
>>
>>5160337
I know what you're thinking of anon... Since heads will make it too easy. I'll say that you can place things near their feet, about 6 feet from their feet is the closest you can get. Explanation being they have their own divine protections. That'll be it.
>>
>>5160340
Well... that makes it a bit harder. I'll go with>>5160323 for equipment then, although I'll add some winter gear if we don't want to freeze along with a gas mask and some night vision goggles, those that use infrared imaging. What I'm thinking is that we could use mustard gas or smoke nades to both obstruct vision and possibly fuck with any potential wolves' sense of smell while we'll still be able to see with the NVGS, though I'm not sure how Skadi's "bow that could never miss" works, or if she even needs to be able to see to impale us with an arrow. That or we could try to lay a trap and materialize magma or something. I'll just note that we know absolutely nothing of where we're gonna fight, so it's not like we can make all sorts of crazy plans here.

These two seem to be our best options. Loki never said anything about our flamethrower, so that and napalm are probably a safe bet.

Not sure how effective other chemicals could be...
>>
>>5160340
You said Arpanet has knowledge of martial arts, but I assume this doesn't translate to experience as well does it? Looking up how to disarm somebody and actually being able to do it are two different things.

Nice catch anon. Yes, she may have the knowledge but she can't really translate it. It's like knowing sword fighting but not translating well against Ares.
>>
>>5160949
Well that sucks, I was hoping we could beat the shit out of her with our understanding of muay thai and judo or some shit, given what Loki said about her. I'm honestly kind of at a lost there, even the most obvious option, lava, is not as straightforward as some may think thanks to the fact that lava does not in fact burn straight through ice very quickly.
>>
>>5160419
>>5160323
>>5160321

From what I can see these three are the best options at the moment. I'll let these be the choices. Sorry about making the qst difficult guys.
>>
>>5161077
I'm frankly not optimistic about this fight. Unless anybody else has a better idea Skadi literally counters everything we can do.

Close combat? She's stronger than us and probably better at combat, probably suicide.
Guns? Unless Loki is pulling that out of his ass and actually doesn't know how guns work, they're pretty much useless except as a distraction or deterrent.
Lava? As I said in >>5161002, it doesn't melt ice as fast as it could, could be used as a zoning tool but that's it.
Combine that with the fact that you essentially kneecapped Arpanet's abilities twice in a row and the prospect looks grim. As in, unless we're meant to lose this fight, I litterally don't see a way we can win this. The best thing we have is napalm, and even that she could probably freeze.
>>
>>5161100
Whether or not Arpanet can win is depending on you guys. Follow what Loki said, he gave you the answer and the anons did too.

>>5160419
>>5160323
>>5160321

These three are the best answers I've seen so far. After 3:00 PM PST I'll be having a constant eye on the thread since I got nothing else to do. The answer is there and Loki gave you the answer too. They may be gods, but not invincible.
>>
>>5161109
Okay then, fuck it. Get in that exosuit with the gas mask and thermal vision and just materialize as many canisters of mustard gas and nerve gases as we can as fast as we can. Cover the entire place with it in such a way that nobody can actually see or even breathe but us with our equipment, go full scorched earth and if there's snow or ice around materialize enough francium on it to explode like a messy dirty bomb and cover the place in radiation. That done, find Skadi and just spam flashbangs around her or use our OST to play something so horrendously loud that she can't hear anything else at all. Don't let her see, breathe or even hear. When everything is obstructed, materialize a SMAW or SMAW-D and shoot at her with HEAA rockets. Instead of reloading, we toss it aside and immediately materialize another one in our hands so we can shoot it immediately, that way we can just spam rockets at her.

On another note QM, you ruled that we can only summon stuff from the real world, but you straight up made us summon exoskeleton armor, which to my knowledge doesn't actually exist quite yet unless I'm very out of the loop. Does that mean there's some light sci-fi elements we can use here?
>>
>>5161142
Light sci-fi yeah. I only made exoskeleton because sapi plate ain't gonna do shit. Depending on how light the sci-fi is I will allow it. Also jesus christ anon, your plan is the kind that I encourage.
>>
>>5161152
I forgot, but don't let her move either, just surround her with a shit ton of fucking lava, if it starts to cool just add more.

>>5161158
Not sure how you'll get lava. But you can find a material that can hold molten steel.

The colosseum of gods was before you. Olympians, Hindus, Egyptians, Islanders, Japanese, and many many more gathered. Their presence to say the least was… jarring. Pressure of a weight that could crush all of humanity. Once you stepped outside of the halls, you were greeted not with a flat field, but a snowy forest with caves, mountains, and boulders. Plenty of open space to ski too. Your breathing was visible in the freezing forest, you materialized thick fabric into your exosuit. That bitch. This was hardly a fair fight when she’s in her element… it’s like they want you to lose.

On the other side was Skadi, bow in her hands and accompanied by her wolves, twelve after you counted. If she wasn’t going to play fair, you shouldn’t too. Thermal vision flickered and gas mask variation materialized on your exo-helmet. You materialize a strap of mustard gas canisters and another with nerve gas. There was also a container of francium rigged with explosives on your back.

“So you’re the child that brought shame into the procession of gods and touched my bow.” Skadi said. “You can still admit defeat and go home, child. Human weapons can not harm the gods. Whatever tricks you have chosen to adorn yourself with. It is an insult to this sacred tournament.”

“Yeah well, nothing is sacred in the internet so I’m not exactly keen on that.” You say with a shrug. “I did plan to go home, anywhere is better than here. But now, I have a reason to win now. So you’re going down.”

“Then your world is inhabited by degenerates.” Skadi said.

You snort out a laugh, you didn’t mean to laugh too but man the naivety of her saying that.

“Oh man, you have no fucking clue how right you are.” You say.

“After I win. I will teach you what a true goddess and a woman should behave like.” Skadi said.

“I’ll pass.” You say.

Skadi sighed. Her wolves being to growl, and her hand move to her quiver. Hermes, the god of messenger floated over you and Skadi with an excited grin.

“Looks like the banter is over ladies.” Hermes said. “Little Pandora. I have a bet with Apollo that you’ll win this one. Don’t let me down, I love a good underdog story.”

“What did you call me?” You say curiously.

“Hm? Don’t worry about it.” Hermes said. “Are you two ready?”

“I am ready.” Skadi said firmly.

“Same.”

“Then as the gods here in this colosseum as the witness. This battle will now…”

You lower your posture then place your hands on your grenade straps. Skadi and her wolves were also ready to launch at any time. That arrow can’t miss, then she needed something to hit. Hermes slowly inhaled then raised his staff.

“BEGIN!”

It’s time to show what you’re really capable of.

Ability activated: Ost
Ost: Deep Fried Bagpipes Anti-ASMR (imagine this played REALLY fucking loud)

“ODIN’S MERCY!”
>>
>>5161398
Skadi covered her ears and before her wolves or Skadi could recover you threw the straps in. An inglorious explosion of mustard and nerve gas you heard the wolves howling in pain. For the added measure, you then threw a searchlight that was on a strobe light mode. Even the spectating gods were covering their ears except for the Celtic gods. Your thermal vision activated, from what you can see Skadi was still on the floor, stunned but not completely down. You did have a plan to use molten steel, but that was for emergency for now.

“My world is full of degenerates huh? I’ll show you degneracy.”

You prime the francium explosives and throw them all in. It was then Skadi begin to writhe in pain, and her wolves stop moving by now. But she was not down yet. You were here to win. You materialize a pile of SMAW loaded with HEAA rockets. What happened after was a merciless explosive pounding. You bet the gods didn’t expect the battle to be a Michael Bay film. When the explosion settled, there was Skadi. Unconscious along with her wolves. Hermes descended with an unsettled fear plastered on his visage. He eked out a smile.

“T-The winner is, Arpanet, Goddess of Internet. I guess I do win that bet after all.”

The whole collosseum was silent, not a single cheer save for one Celtic god for some reason who was quickly told to shut up by another Celtic god. It was your victory. Then there was Loki, laughing his ass off beside his solemnly silent brother, Thor. This was something you're sure the gods will remember you for.

A true internet goddess you all are
>>
In that silence you walked up to Skadi, you had to give her credit, she was already conscious. She couldn’t get up that was for sure. Even her wolves were whining. Skadi looked up at you, anger and fear in her eyes. She opened her eyes, only to cough up blood. She used her bow as the clutch to at least be on her knees. You on the other hand stood over the defeated goddess. You were going to offer a hand but she swatted it away. Asgardian pride and all that.

“Have you come to gloat?” Skadi said with a pained groan. “Don’t think you’ll win again now that you exposed your tricks.”

“GG.” You say.

“What?”

“GG no re.”

Like a true star-craft faggot. You walk away after uttering those legendary words. The gods whispered amongst another, wondering what that meant, they won’t, and it sure as hell was funny. When you walked out of the hall one of the servants bowed, the servant’s origin was difficult to decipher. This servant… she didn’t quite feel right.

“Your honored goddess. I am here to guide you to the victor’s seat. Please follow me.”

“I was actually planning to take a break.”

“Forgive me, but it is only right for a goddess to watch the rest of the battles for this day.” The servant said. “You will be guided to your own area to rest after.”

“Fine I guess…”

You were led to the seat where the victors got to wath. Apparently it looked like you missed out on a lot of fight as a dozen goddess proudly sat in their own seat. Above where you were the other major gods of their own pantheon like Poseidon, then above that were the kings of their pantheon like Zeus.

You were led to your own boothe with plenty of leg room, it was like having your own small room with a small cart full of food. The goddesses all stared at you. Some with smiles but most with wariness. After all, you showed them the might of human technology. Artemis walked up to you with a gentle but forced smile. Guess you missed her match.

“Congratulations on your first victory.” Artemis said. “Though I must admit I was not able to see it within the smoke and lights.”

“Thank you.”

She cupped her hand to your cheek, like you were someone familiar to her that was going away forever. Just what’s up with that.

“Rest well, and enjoy the battles. When you have time, come visit me in my boothe.”

You begin to watch the next match which was Egyptian Goddess Ma’at and Saraswati. Sinking slowly into the soft seat you enjoy the spectacle.

I think it segwayed into that topic from me saying Yuri action w/ Artemis might happen.

On both points, we'll put a pin in those goals and focus on watching the upcoming match. Don't forget to summon (or request from the servants Loki) some snacks to enjoy it with. Mt Dew and Doritos if we wanna go MLG era old school.

>>5161516
That’s not enough of a reason to change anything we are doing yet.
So back to misdemeanours!
>>5161490
Quick question, are beings like Fenrir and Surtr here?
>>
Ma’at wielded a giant version of khopesh with a scale on the other hand. The great wings attached to her arms gave her the ability to move fast and summon great gusts of winds. Sawaswati summoned lotus flowers with her own swords. It was a fierce battle for sure. Saraswati was the goddess of wisdom, but in terms of fighting she didn’t seem so formidable. Not to mention you were lucky with Skadi. You were sure she’d have her own plan if she were to face you. Ma’at on the other hand was the goddess of truth, justice, and cosmic order. Maybe she can answer why you were kicked out?

Either way, you materialized a notepad and a lead pencil to record everything you saw. Their weapons, fighting style, unique abilities, endurance, and just about everything. It was then you realized a simple notepad wouldn’t do anything. Materializing a laptop you opened a document then typed like a furious sweaty tard crafting the most obscene fanfiction known to man. Your fingers moved like squirming worms, and your eyes fixed on the goddesses battling. From what it looks like, they were allowed to change the arena to their preferred environment from the arena being half sand and half serene pond.

Should you come up in a match with any of them, you would be ready. The same servant arrived with a bowl of fruits and a cup of wine. You bit into the unpeeled orange. Then spit it back out. Man so much for unpeeled orange tasting great on that vegan forum… then again this is kinda your fault.

“It’s magnificent how they fight.” The servant said. “Forgive me for asking, but are you truly the only goddess of your pantheon, making you the queen?”

“I’m pretty sure yeah. I’m fine with it.” You shrug.

“I also heard you were made to leave after being invited by the Egyptian gods and insulted by the Sun God Apollo.” The servant said. “Are you not least angered? You deserve better, my goddess.”

“Maybe a little with Bastet…” You sulk briefly. “But I’m not Apollo at least.”

“I see…” The servant said. “I will be on my way. Congratulations on your victory, Goddess Arpanet.”

>Keep watching the fight
>Go visit Artemis
>Maybe explore?
>Write-in

Maybe I'll do a light hearted side quest once I have time. Panty stealing, or at least, pissing some gods off does sound like what Arpanet would do. And good eye anons, I'm glad you guys caught the Pandora detail, story will reveal more soon.
>>
>>5161520
Yes, but I don't think I'll be able to utilize them in the qst. I want to keep the mythology accurate as possible. It wouldn't be norse without Fenrir. I did a light research on the mythologies and man do I feel bad for Fenrir. He was betrayed by his friend he trusted...

“Thanks, Loki.”

The servant ignores your thank you and continues to walk. But you were pretty sure it was Loki, who else would it be? You materialize a camcorder and a tripod to record the rest of the fight. You can come back to it later. Once you exited your booth you find a nymph dressed in a sparkling white toga, glowing softly in blue. She tilted her head as she stared at what you were in, the exoskeleton armor. She leads you not to Artemis but outside the colosseum to where the Olympians partied at. There, Artemis’s nymph pointed you at the pond, along with fresh peplos and sandals.

“You’re telling me to bathe?”

The nymph nodded.

“I smell fine.”

The nymph gave you a dirty look then pointed at the river again. Then again, you did have some radiation on you and smell of explosions. Alright maybe you should… but not somewhere so open. As if the nymph understood you it snapped its finger. Nymphs that glowed in green arrived then turned into trees with thick leaves. That’s pretty convenient. You dematerialize your amor and clothes and enter the pond, going shoulders deep. You materialize some body soap, the nymph threw a rock at you.

“Ow! What’s your deal you mute asshole?”

The nymph stripped naked then entered the river and snatched the bottle of soap. Then the nymph then stripped began to scrub you clean with a hand full of moss. The nymph then handed you the moss as if to say "what do you think you're doing brining a human item into the sacred pond? Be a normal goddess and use a moss like everyone." So you scrub yourself with a moss without soap... A few minutes later you hear a voice past the bush, asking for permission to enter.

And that god was.

It was Hephaestus, the god smithing and basically the most unfortunate god in Olympus. Before you could materialize another nymph slapped you a fabric of their own, can’t have shit here… You draped yourself in a good fabric that was heavenly on your skin. The trees part way and you saw Hephaestus. A burly man bulging with muscles, on a human standard he was a godly Arnold Schwarzenegger. But from what you saw, he was average. Honestly, he wasn’t even that ugly, just normal-looking joe face with a really hairy chest and arms. He had his own rugged appeal you guess. His voice was deep and rumbling, like a strong shot of Jack Daniels whiskey. As he entered Artemis’s nymph draped another layer of cloth on you for added protection.

“Greetings Arpanet. I am Hephaestus. A pleasure to make your acquaintance. And forgive me for interrupting, but I was fascinated by the weapons you wielded. They were crafted by humanity, no?”

“They were.”

“How far they have advanced. It feels like yesterday Prometheus brought fire to humanity.” Hephaestus said with a chuckle. “Oh those humans. What else has humanity created?”

“Like weapons?”

“Clothes, weapons, jewelry, anything.”

“Well this is the SMAW-D.”

Hephaestus rubbed his beard as he pondered. You materialize the SMAW-D and the missile itself then let him inspect it. Then you and Hephaestus begin to discuss humanity and their creations. From simple things such as toenail clippers to the frightening creations of warfare. Hephaestus a sullen visage once the topic of war and the genocide you told him about.

“I see they have changed yet they did not…” Hephaestus said. “And to think they express such vile opinions in your world, you have my pity child.”

He gently stroke your hair.

“Pity?”

“You bear their darkness, just like my darling Pandora once did…” Hephaestus said.

“Did something happen to her?”

“She…” Hephaestus stopped, almost on the verge of sorrowful glower. “That is not for you to know. For your own good.”

“Oh, alright then.” You say.

“I wanted to give you this.”

Hephaestus took your hand gently then placed a gold necklace with beautifully carved gem, a craftsmanship like you never witnessed.
>>
>>5161652
“I don’t know what to say… thank you.”

“No need for gratitude. I must go now, be safe.” Hephaestus said.

He soon left. You soon arrived to Artemis’s booth dressed in the clothes you were given.

“There you are. Why were you late?” Artemis said.

“I was talking with Hephaestus.” You say.

“Oh. I see.” Artemis said. “The match is almost over, with the victor being obvious.”

Artemis gestured you to sit next to her on her carpet made of deerskin. It looked like the match was soon to be over, with Ma’at’s victory closing in. But you weren’t interested at all.

“Artemis.”

“Yes?”

“Why did Hermes call me little Pandora?”

“That… that is something you don’t have to know. Hermes is only being Hermes.” Artemis said.

>“That’s bullshit and you know it, why else the special treatment.”

In the thundering cheer of gods, you glare at Artemis. What a terrible liar she was, the least je could do was tell you, or at least say some kind of cryptic secret like all gods do. But no, not even that. You sigh and finish watching the final ceremony of today’s matches. Soon as it was over you left Artemis without a goodbye. Dressed in the peplos the gods at least now noticed your presence. While the gods returned to their party, you were heading for where the Norse god was, specifically, Loki.

“Where is he?” You grumble as you walk around the colosseum. “Wait, hey you!”

The same weird servant cocked her head. The servant was pale with true dark hair, not to mention her black wolf ears. She was now dressed in a white and red robe. You run past two giant gods to reach the servant.

“Yes?”

“Do you know where the Norse Gods are? I need to see Lo-”

The servant covered your mouth, then placed her finger on her lips for you to shush.

“Yes. I will guide you to them.” The servant said.

You follow the servant to the same realm of forest you were pummeled in. This time, however, you stared at her wolf tail swishing. The thought that being odd was gone when you realized the Egyptian gods have animal heads on a human body.

“Why are you seeking the Norse gods? And of all gods, Loki?”

“I need to find out something. He’ll give me the answer, or he won’t but I know he’ll give me something.” You say.

“I see.”
>>
>>5162099
Instead of a castle or some kind of gathering, you were lead inside to an entrance of a cave. This is some serious rape vibe. The servant walked ahead as it grabbed your hand to guide you. Delving in further, you hear giggling, then moans, lots of it. You ended up on an area with an opening on top and a smooth flat boulder, covered in the golden skin of a sheep. On top of it were his wives and Loki in snuggling/fucking. He noticed you presence and gets up, naked. What is up with gods and nudity? Just about every god is barely covered in cloths… The women tied a skin of a deer around his waist.

“Ah, child. I would welcome you with an embrace but that is all I can do. For I am already entangled with these beauties. You are far too young. Seek Apollo if you so desperately want a lover, he does too. Look at his poor record.”

“That is so why I’m not here!”

“Then you are here to ask the hand of my child? I’m afraid you’re far too young. Not to mention you don’t have a dowry.”

“I never met your child.” You say flatly.

“She’s right behind you, Fenrir? Have you been talking to her behind my back?”

“I was only curious, but I’m intrigued at her method that she beat Skadi.” Fenrir said.

The gentle and proper posture of the servant disappeared. As the woman walked a surrounding mist transformed into a man, with a wicked grin like his father. You really shouldn’t trust a son of a trickster god. But boy… he’s hot.

“Oh what the fuck. You? You’re Fenrir? I thought you were chained by Tyr!”

“Do you really think I’m that stupid?” Fenrir said. “Father, I wouldn’t mind having her. I find her simplicity endearing. A mindless cracks of fire you are.”

Loki chuckled.

“Why have you come to visit me?” Loki said.

“You know why, I need answers, I want to know why I want to know why I was referred as Pandora.” You say. “And to say thanks. I’m pretty sure I would’ve lost the match.”

“Ah, it seems like the gods are slowly realizing. As expected they’re rather slow save for a few.” Loki said. “If you want answers then you’ll have to repay your gratitude.”

“And that is?”

“Oh don’t glower. It’s-”

After giving the challenge, Loki looks at your necklace.

“Or, you can give me that necklace.”

Fair enough but I am pretty sure we are going to piss off some gods either way with what we are about to do.

Honestly I kind of agree, I don't really think getting involved with Loki of all people is the best idea, at least not now. He gave us advice yes but considering who we're dealing with he's probably deliberately trying to stir shit up or he's setting up some kind of scheme.

Artist- Overly Sarcastic Productions

“I’ll be watching.” Loki said as he parted.

You were pissed. Really really pissed. Seducing a fucking VOLCANO goddess and a rain god? Weren’t they already an item? Are they degenerate or into threesomes? Fucking Loki that jackass horse fucking bitch!” JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! You went toward the Hawaiian pantheon. The peplos you wore flowed by the soothing wind of the islands. Unlike the forests and skies of the Olympus, there was a primal comfort here. Warm sun, colorful flowers, and warm sands. A different world, and the windows of your home didn’t do enough justice to show how beautiful Hawaii was.

The leaves rustled and the ocean swayed. It was so serene, so peaceful, too peaceful. Where are the gods that reside here? You explore further into the island, eventually climbing through a small mountain. It was so peaceful that you almost forgot that you were here to seduce gods and beat them in sledding. To be fair, this wasn’t that bad of a bad idea is it? You were now climbing a green hill with a cliffside that has an ocean at the end. You hear a faint shouting, no it’s cheering.

“KOLO KEIKI!”

Four blurs speed past you then you hear the splash. Four nymph-like beautiful women climbed back up. They all size you up, holding their own sleds. They huddle up like a pack of dogs.

“You’re that new goddess. What business do you have here? Here to challenge a match?”

“Match like fighting?”

“Of course, why else would you be here in that silly-looking Olympian garb? It didn’t take you long to suck up to the Olympians.”

“I’m not here to fight for them.”

“Oh yeah?” One of the kupua said. “Then wear this. And no shoes, it’s disrespectful.”

A kupua handed you a kikepa dress which you dress up without much of a fuss. Then they gave you flowers on your head and attach some to your wrists and ankles. After that… they were pretty friendly.

“Not half bad! Much better than that stringy cloth. Ae.” One of the kupua cheered. “I am Poli’ahu of the snow.”

“I am Lilinoe of the mist.”

“Waiau I am, of the waters below.”

“And I am Ka Houpo O Kane of the springs.”

“Welome to our island.” The four kupua said. “What is your business here?”

Hmmmm, Loki never stated that we had to make a competition out of it so just make it seem like we are playing around.
No need to be mean, we can be nice too.
Also according to google seduction doesn’t necessarily mean we gotta sleep with em so that opens up quite a few more doors.

If we tell them everything they are going to significantly be more on edge and thus our tasks will be more difficult. That’s why I suggest just going the fun route where everybody just has an enjoyable time.

“I am Arpanet! And I’m here to challenge the kupua of the Mauna Kea to holua sledding.”

There silence that echoed with the kupuas. They glanced at one another, the grinned devillishly. They surrounded you like a pack of hyena would do to surround its prey. Man they have such pretty eyelashes. Poli’ahu wrapped her arm aroud your shoulders, and Lilinoe joined. Waiau gathered and O’Kane joined.

“So you challenge us, the champions into our own game. You have fire ahi iki.” Poli’ahu said.
“It’s endearing, all this to have our attention.” Lilinoe said. “You did well to choose us.”

Each of them pinches your cheeks then softly giggled. Hold up. Wait a minute. What on earth did they mean by this?

“We’re back Poli’ahu! Lilinoe!”

Waiau and O’Kane arrived with the sleds. Which wasn’t the kind you expected at all. The sled was thinner, and vertically longer. They all laugh as they climb the hill, which in your surprise was way taller than you expected. Really tall, you were able to see other island… and the Olympians, Egyptians, Norse, Celtic, Hindus, just about everyone. You held on to the sled as they gave you the basics of sledding.

“Don’t tell me you’re afraid now little fire.” Poli’ahu said.

“You came this far. Do try to impress us. We’ll begin the race by Waiau gives us the sign. We go at hele.”

“Mākaukau. E.” Waiau paused. “HELE!”

The race was on.

Ost: Miserlou

You didn’t know about holua sledding, but you do know about aerodynamics. The moment it began you bend you legs as you squat then launch off. Holding the sled you go prone on the board then look forward. Everything became a green blur, and frankly. You knew you just bit off more than you can chew.

“Shiiiiiit!”

The hills twisted, the straight hills became twiling caves that took you up, down, left, right, and mostly down. While you were holding on for your dear life, the kupuas were also screaming, in joy, whooping like they were just gifted the idea of sliced bread. As much as you wanted to close your eyes you lept them open in case of any kind of short cuts.

In the downward hill you saw two route. One small hole, big enough to fit you in. The other was the end of a river that would lead to the waterfall but another hill that was on the other side. You only had a split second to move.

“LEEROYYYY JEKINSSSS!”

In that swift decision, you, the Goddess of Internet, Goddess of All Stupidity, The All Retard, went for the small hole. You put you head flat on the sled and pray that would would come out of the hole in whole. There was darkness for the next minute or so with the cold wind slapping its big willy at your face. But oncethe light begin to seep out, with the momentum of your speed you speed ahead a black mountain. Once you reached high you were launched into the air.

You let out a scream of pure ecstasy from the essence of speed. Then you noticed the pit of lava, you were making a jump across a volcano.

“WOOOOOOOO HOOO!”

As expected, it was now a scream of panic.

“Oh shit shit shit shit SHIT!”

Then a scream of panic. This was too hot for comfort. But in a few split seconds, you saw Pele, who was soaking in the nice tub of lave. She stared at you in pure awe. After floating in air like loony toons you were on your straight toward eating dirt with a velocity of an African Swallow.

I have a theory, the Olympians call Arpanet the little Pandora for its interaction with humans.
It is directly said in the first post of this quest that she was directly interacting with people via shitpost.
They expect us to eventually mingle with humans and help the progress, and so we will either unleash destruction or become discarded by them.
This would probably result in our death.

I say probably because I’m not sure the internet is not worship as such.

I would recommend Arpanet does not play Loki’s game, there is nothing he could say that can change how we act,
so its not important and he is probably trying to make burn bridges with other pantheons.
Also, we should summon a fuck ton of prairie dogs in the nords home just to fuck with them.

With quick thinking you materialize a glider on your back strapped to your back, and goggles to dive into the ocean. You wave at Pele who still stared at you with even more amazement.

“Hi Pele!”

Pele simply waves back with her wide eyes. You gently dip to take speed and land at the ocean then swim out. By the the kupuas were little bit miffed and a bit of confused and all around impressed. For a task given my Loki this wasn’t so bad.

“You won fairly. You are the victor, Arpanet.” Lilinoe said. “Come visit us again if you want to race again.”

Yes! You thank them for the opportunity then return their sled. It was then the ground begin to quake.

“Say Arpanet, you didn’t have to jump past a volcano?” O’kane said.

“Uh… I saw Pele.”

“Oh. Well I’m out of here!”

The four kupuas fled the scene and left you with the approaching Pele. You stood on the account that you saw no lava yet and she didn’t seem so angry but more… well you really couldn’t tell. Beside her was Kamapuaʻa. A light blue aura glowed around him, dressed in fur and adorned with fierce tattoos.

“This is her you’re racing about?” Kamapuaʻa said. “She’s rather cute.”

“You there, young maiden. What is your name?” Pele said.

“I’m Arpanet.”

Pele grabbed your hand.

“Be my wife.”

“...huh?”

“The way you fearlessly jumped over my volcano left me passionate. I want you to be my wife!” Pele said. “I will make an island in your name and gift you with flowers lost by time. Marry me!”

“I uh…”

Wow, this went way too easy for you. Really really easy. With Pele literally glowing with passion holding your hand you didn’t know what to do. Was she smoking hot? Yes. You really woudn’t mind getting a slie of that Hawaiian fruit. But, you had other goals for the moment. You slowly pull your hand from her grasp.

“I’m a… virgin goddess. Sorry.” You say with a wince.

Her eyes widened then closed slowly, like a poorly rejected man who was keeping his marbles in his pockets. She nodded and Kamapuaʻa pat her back consolingly. You give your goodbye and go on your way. When you were close to reaching the edge of the Hawaiian territory, you hear the volcano erupt. You hasten your exit.

Walking between the realm of the gods you now had some looking at you, from each of the pantheons. From almost out of nowhere a black wolf dog followed you. You heard the sound of a beautiful lyre, and from above a golden chariot descending. It was Apples’o, Artemis’s twin brother.

“Young goddess, from watching your batter I must say I’m intrigued. Take this as my gift as a way to reconcile with you. A mirror so you may appreciate your own beauty, and the wine of Dionysus.”

In Apollo’s hand was a small handheld mirror and a bottle of win. You had to admit it was beautifully made, but not beautiful as Hephaestus’s. You took it from his hand, and in turn he grasped your hand lightly and kissed your knuckle. Creepy, but at least he was hot.

“To reconciliation and friendship. How about you come with me for-”

The black wolf growled. It was obvious who it was. But knowing Fenrir current “status” you refrained from saying his name.

“Sorry I need to walk my dog.”

Inside the cave Loki was thankfully covered this time. He clapped as he chuckled.

“I want my answer Loki.”

“Of course of course.” Loki said. “Long ago, before humanity just discovered fire. The kings of each Pantheon discussed who will be tasked to hold the defeated essence of corruption and evil. Odin wanted the dwarves to create a labyrnth, Brahma suggested feeding it to Kali, Horus thought of launching it to the celestial space. But Zeus offered Hepahaestus’s ability.”

“And they just let him?”

“Why not? Should evil escape it wouldn’t be on their hands.” Loki said matter of factly. “So Pandora was created. Given gifts by her family so she can hold the darkness better than anyone.”

You sit on the cold floor of the cave, and Fenrir wrapped you in its warmth. Loki was many thing, ut he was a good storyteller. Who’d have thought? Loki’s visage darkened.

“But even her, with the gifts of the gods could not hold it. Pandora’s form decayed, and she shattered. In her desperate attempt to save Olympus she hurled herself to the human world. With humanity growing so large corruption was spread thin. But humanity was cursed, even to this day.”
>>
>>5163050

Loki sat close to you, facing you as he held your shoulders.

“Then you were born.”

“I… what? I’m born because of the internet.”

“And in that world did you not witness the wretchedness of humanity? Pandora guided humanity too, once.”

“I…”

Coldness spread in your body, a sickeningly wet darkness that spread. You now remembered. It started out small. The murky red of hatred and violence that shook you to gain your consciousness. It was so red, so so red, and that fire of hatred mixed with the slimy fear overtook you like spreading barbs inside you so painfully. Then a light, from Hephaestus’s necklace, you were able to breathe again.

“I thought so.” Loki said. “He sees you as his dead daughter. I dare say you even look like her.

“Then why am I here? Why am I invited to this tournament?”

“I do not know. Perhaps they have yet to realize what you are, but that is doubtful. But I do know this. Whichever pantheon you join, they will be a force to reckon with. And whoever wins the tournament…”

“They have their wish!” You say. “Are you telling me that-”

“No. The tournament existed long before you. But that is a possibility.”

“Why are you helping me then?”

“I know what it’s like to be chained, you merely have my pity. One advice child, Hephaestus, as much as he will love you, cannot defy Zeus.”

You were given leave. You didn’t know what to do anymore. But you knew one thing. You needed to win, more than ever, at any price.

Who really are you? Were you really Arpanet, no, that wasn’t even your name was it? You just fished it off of Google. You hear the drunken revelry of the gods, and you were alone, lost. After grabbing a servant you were in your new quarters. You materialize a soft bed, table, laptop, a classic bachelor man cave. You dim the lights and and stare into the screens of your laptop. Few threads here and there, and several windows of youtube playing some other videos.

Were you really Pandora, some natural version that was meant to hold her? You hug your knees tightly. Not even the most elaborate shitpost made your day better. You held on to the necklace that your maybe-not-father gifted you with. What now? Maybe you can run away, not be noticed and go back to internet.

No, if they could find you back then, then they can find you again. You needed to find your own victory. You lay out an arsenal and maintain them all. Then you scour every corner of the internet of every goddess you could encounter, then you play the videos on the camcorder. When the servant to check up you had her bring some food. And in your sorrow, Apollo’s gifted tasted better than ever. It was sweet and tasty, juicier when it helped you drown your confusing situation. It was then you hear the bells toll, you peek out to see gods gathering to the colosseum

Huh, guess it’s time. You walk amongst the gods seriously drunk. At winner’s booth you lie still. A servant arrived and announced the goddess’s name, Epona. The Celtic Goddess of Great Mares. Heh, funny horse woman.

“So yer the new goddess. I came here to greet you, goddess to goddess.”

You greet her the best way you can while being buzzed. With such loudness going on, another goddess took notice and approached, which was-

“A goddess of the rising sun, I dinnae ken why they be her’. They shimmy up their own kin most of the tim’.”

You suddenly hear the sound of bells, foxes with sheaths of wheat in their mouth swarms your room with a red sash around their necks. Some foxes were small, others large as a wolf. The foxes easily snuggle up to Epona but not you. They hissed at your attempt to pet them. Little shit bags they are…

“Make way for her, the goddess. She who strikes famine, goddess of fertility, agriculture, and prosperity. Inari Okami.”

Strange creatures like walking cats, and foxes on its hind legs enter, playing traditional Japanese instruments. Mists entered the room and couple minutes of processions later, the goddess herself arrived. Dressed in layers of Japanese clothes that couldn’t be kimonos. Whatever it was, it looked difficult to move in. She was a beautiful woman, a common thing you’ve been noticing. Though you wonder why she’s here of all places. Okami’s long hair was black as the night, and smooth as silk. Each of her movement was calculated, graceful. She used a fan to cover her face and her sharp eyes were on you.

“Greetings child. I have smelled some interesting wine, may I partake in that wine?”

“Sure.” You say.

Okami kneels in a seiza position. One of the fox takes the bottle from your hand and pours a cup to Okami gently. Man… were all Japanese deities this charming?

“Ah, an Olympian wine. I knew it.” Okami said. “Dionysus-san never fails in his endeavors.”

“I’m glad you like it.” You say with a slight slur.

“A gift for a gift. A sake for a sake.”

Okami gestured to bring her own. The servants give you that red saucer and pours the sake in.

You got a match ahead of you soon. But saying no to a major goddess of the Japanese Pantheon. The sweetness of the sake spread across your tongue. But you set the red saucer down before finishing it all. It was a bit odd on how much sake they poured in. You had to lift it carefully to make sure none spilled.

“Was the sake not to your liking?” Okami said worriedly.

“I got a match ahead of me soon, can’t be tooo… too drunk.”

“Then I’ll drink it yer place.” Epona said. “And here. Eat this.”

Epona took the saucer from your hand and finished the rest, chugging it like wine. Okami frowned at such behavior but did not say much. Hoo boy, you need some time to sober yourself up. Okami’s drink is pretty strong. From somewhere Epona handed you a hot jambon, an Irish food for hangovers. You bit into the buttery and flaky pastry and the salty ham.

“Good eh?”
>>
>>5163909

You nodded as you chew. This was some good stuff. The match between the goddesses finally begin. It was still small time goddesses were battling. The kind that won’t evoke much of a reaction. Maybe they were saving the big dogs for the later part of the show. This time it was the match of Kaya-no-hime, Goddess of Vegetation against Morrigan, Celtic Goddess of War, Death, and the Queen of Phantoms and Demons. Yeah this is fair alright… Epona swallowed hard, but Okami remained calm. But to you this seemed like hardly a fair battle. What would a Goddess of Vegetation know about any of this?

“This isn’t good, I feel sorry for that lass…” Epona said. “Morrigan is going to take this as an insult. She’s a warrior goddess that is the fiercest and the cruelest. I thought the warrior goddesses have yet to participate.”

“What do you mean by that?” You ask.

“Right, this is yer first time.” Epona said. “The tournament begins with the goddess who are not attuned with aspects of warrior and battle. Whoever goddesses survives that is included with the warriors. After that, they battle with the major goddesses. Around two dozens or so will be the final contestants, so why is Morrigan here?”

“Oh no.” Okami gasped softly. “Will she be alright?”

“Naw, there’s a good chance yer friend will suffer horribly.” Epona said grimly. “If she knows what’s good for her, she’ll forfeit the match.”

“That fool.” Okami said concernedly. “There is no dishonor in admitting defeat, that can also be a sign of virtue…”

“Aye that be true. Only she can save herself now…” Epona said. “You might as well learn from this Arpanuhnt.”

You watch Morrigan, a goddess warrior with a grim look of her, clad in black cloak like lady death, brandishing a fearsome barbed swords and spears. That wicked smile of hers made you want to not fight her. This made you wonder about other goddesses. Athena, Amaterasu , Badb, Sif, Kali, Sekhmet… they were all powerhouses you have yet to see them fight. They would be the most formidable obstacles toward your freedom.

The match ended as expected, Kaya-no-hime was on the verge of defeat. Morrigan however was not content to end just yet, she merely chose to toy with her. Cutting her leg and ripping her clothes. Kaya-no-hime’s determination only fueled her suffering.

I know we stand to gain some brownie points here, but the minute we start intervening in other fights, we basically give everyone a green light to intrude on our own. Plus who the hell knows what kind of penalty we get for messing around.

Also we're the goddess of the internet--you've seen much worse than this on Liveleak.

Did we ever find out which deity cheered when we won our fight?
>>
>>5163912
>Watch till the end, this isn’t your fight
Also, an important question we should maybe ask. Just what the fuck have the gods been doing for a hundred millenia? Like most of humanity doesn't even worship them anymore and from what we've seen with Hephaestus they seem kind of out of the loop. Are they just tied up in tournament after tournament or something?
>>
This wasn’t your fight. In the end, the poor goddess was thoroughly humiliated. Clothes were torn to rags that barely covered her body. Morrigan laughed like a classic Disney villain, even went on to insult Amaterasu. You discovered that Amaterasu could not exactly participate since she was the leader of her pantheon. The brutal match kicked your soberness away quick. Next fights were the same affair, record and write with the company of Epona. Okami left to tend to her friend.

“Nervous?”

You nod. Epona pat your back heartily with a reassuring smile. The horses she brought with her also came to nuzzle you.

“Don’t have ta worry about it. You’re a new goddess, they’ll go easy on ya. They hafta, or their standing will certainly go down. Though they will try to beat ya, since losing to a fledgling goddess is just humiliating, no offense to Skadi.”

“Sure…”

Will they go easy on you? Were they in on the whole thing? Were they representing their pantheons just to have you? Epona eventually left and you were left on your own. You sobered up a bit, and took each matches serious as possible on the off chance that you might fight them. But… you weren’t called. Not even after the warrior goddesses begin to arrive. Famous names like Athena, Durga, Badb, Sif, and big hitters like Sekhmet… what’s going on?

“The final battle of the day. Arpanet, The Goddess of Internet! The child who had shocked the pantheons. So much that she has been classified as a warrior goddess!” Hermes announced. “Congrats kid!”

“FUCK YOU, YOU WINGED FUCK!”

Hermes shrugged as if to say “It’s out of my control.” BULLSHIT! You look from your seat to see the king of the pantheons, and you met their eyes all at once only briefly. Oh no, oh no no no no no. You started to think Loki was right.

“Versus-”

+1 to this holy shit, also some things we can do in future fights or even in this one is use drones with guns on em, I mean this is set slightly ahead of our time with exo suits being a thing and there are already some people who have made drones with guns so not too far fetched to make a massive drone swarm with guns on em, also jetpacks since those also exist in our current modern time they're just not that good yet.

>The trigger of the Trojan War! Mischief is her hobby, chaos flows in her vein, without her war would be plain boring. Goddess of Discord, pandemonium, madness, ERIS!
She controls chaos and strife. Expecting serrious changes of enviroment (probably changing one the things form and density).
And she can control the shadows, bring a LOT of flashbangs.
And she can manifest wings...
I recomend using attack drones, or rockets, maybe a jet engine.
Make her mad with the entrance, she will jump us, take her out with a net gun and shoot her out of the ring. Ohh and bearspray her. Or use fire extinguisher.

After your not so grand introduction (honestly you can’’t blame him since you really didn’t do much). You waited for your match.Hermes flew high in the air, holding a carved conch shell toward his mouth. Smoke slowly flowed out from the other entrance. You waited in the halls, this time alone as you prepare for the next fight.

“A river of blood stains her hand.”

Ok that’s not a good start.

“Trigger of the Trojan War. Creator of the golden apple. Mischief is her hobby. Chaos flows in her veins. War does not exist without her. Mother of pandemonium, madness, the uncontrolled, untamed, Goddess of Discord, ERIS!”

Eris, Goddess of Discord. The petty goddess that started the whole war because she wasn’t invited to a wedding. From your search she coil control shadows, and a formidable warrior herself. Technically speaking, you were a goddess of discord top. You try to think of a plan. How do you just out mad the madness goddess? You do a quick research on her. Hmm… Well, there was that one era of the internet. Really cringe but maybe, just maybe, it can work.

You walk out of the hall with your battle gear. A miniature Trojan Horse is dragged with a string. On the other hand was pushing a red cart full of just the most random item there can be. You were dressed in what would be your champion’s clothes, a full spandex pink body suit. You materialize a cd player radio and place it in the cart, and you put in the burned CD of Number Stations Random Mix #1 - [1 Hour].

.

“Hey boss.”

Eris stared at Hermes, which he shrugged but she still stayed cautious, keeping a distance.

>Keep bluffing, she may be the goddess of discord but you’re the goddess of autism
>Ok this won’t work… (add tactic)
>>
We kinda revealed our hand with scorched earth tactics our first fight, should we try a twist on the same or do something else?
>>
>>5164436
We can materialize light sc-fi things that aren't organic meaning we can use robots. I had a plan where we just summon a shit ton of them with bombs inside them and either a) swarm or b) play hide and seek except the other goddess never gets it right and explodes.
>>
>>5164466
This is stupid, but hear me out. What if we just see if she's open to wagering the victory on the outcome of not a 1v1 battle, but a game?

She'll probably decline it being a modern video game, but something more classic like cards or chess or hell, a game of fucking Monopoly might intrigue her enough to agree. If any goddess would bite on this one and shake on it, I feel like Eris is among the most likely.
>>
>>5164477
that may actually work.
>>
>>5164495
>1v1 rust, quickscoping only, one trickery goddess to another
she might appreciate the change in pace
>>
>>5164477
I will say this, if you do go through this route, choose the game carefully and outside the box. Don't feel bad for cheating too. Since Eris will also cheat. Loving the creativity
>>
>>5164477
I'll support that, if she doesn't want to however, we can try to fight her hand-to-hand since we're a goddess ourself. But we'll need to surprise her, maybe with flashbangs after materializing a helmet that actually protects us, because I don't think she'd be using that spear if it couldn't hurt a goddess. We'll also not very good at fighting in general so there's that. Top priority would be getting right up in her face so she can't stab us. But she still has that shield...
>>
>>5164477
+1 YEAH MONOPOLY!
>>
>>5164506
On the topic of actual combat, if it comes down to blows, would those Boston Robotics cyber-dogs be within our possibility to summon? Jam them full of pseudo-random movement algorithms, let a few nearly fucking crash into each other, as long as the unpredictable flank is there to trip her up.
>>
>>5164432
Talk about her, and her irrelevance. Discord? Madness? Humans have plenty already. Talk about the generations of lawless slavery, the horrors of a world at war, the plagues and fears, the simple ideas humanity fights and oppresses eachother for even when food, water, and shelter are plentiful. Everyone looks at you like Pandora come again, like all the evils of the world are somehow bound to your domain, but the truth? The truth is you're a symptom. A pale reflection of the evil that lurks in humanity's heart. There are depths to the internet that have sin beyond reckoning, where are recorded atrocities beyond count. Eris' schtick is a golden apple, but the world of humanity, the world you reflect, is a damned and cursed orchard. There is nothing she can inflict that you cannot turn back on her, no horror of the mind or demon of the soul that is darker than the abyss the gods have so flippantly left to fester in mankind. The Discord of Eris is nothing more than a blip in human statistics, and you've seen them all.

Eris, not so confused raised her shield and her spear. You dematerialize intoyour pajamas. You call a servant over and have food delivered as well. Hermes flew down at your absolute disrespect to the tournament, not that you care. You place the food plate on the picnic blanket you materlialized.

“Hey… Little Pan- Arpanet? Hello? Are you listening?”

“Goddess Eris!” You say cheerfully. “I want to play a game.”

“A game?” Eris said. “Do you not know what his colosseum is?”

“I do, but why should you or I fight for them? Just fighting for them sounds boring. A goddess that started the Trojan can surely flex better with a game instead of fighting. Someone who could make the goddesses fight then cause a great war can certainly.”

You set out the monopoly board and offer Eris a materialized piece of the Trojan horse.

“A gift, Lady Eris.”

Eris held on to her weapon, once she was close she set her weapono n the side and took the Trojan horse piece. You made sure it was made of platinum with gold lines. You weren’t Haphaestus but you know your materials. Hermes floated over to see the game.

“Hm. And just what is this game?” Hermes said.

“Monopoly. A game that requires luck, wisdom, and cunning intellect.” You say. “And someone of your legend can play it. How about it Lady Eris?”

“I’m not a fool. If you want a game and you are suggest changing it, that means I will decide the game.” Eris said.
“And that is?”

“A game of words. We are goddesses, and as goddesses we are always expected to contain our bearing. We exchange insults.How about that? I'll let you go first.”

You turn around, and grin like a smug bitch. Relax relax.

“Pfft!”

Eris raised an eyebrow.

“Something funny, child?”

“Oh nah, I accept your proposal. I guess I need to start.” You say delightfully. “I just think it’s odd. You’re a goddess of discord. I mean…”

Your lips part into a shit eating grin, so smug that it would reach a singularity of smugness.

“All gods have purpose but you? Discord? Chaos? Your only achievement is starting a war that people think it wasn’t real and all because you weren’t invited to a wedding. Lol.”

Eris’s brow twitched.

“Discord? Madness? Strife? Humanity already has that without you. Slavery has killed more than your Trojan war. There were two World Wars that exploded without your help, so what use do you really have?” You say with a laugh. “Small Pox, Bubonic Plague, Black Plague, SARS, AIDs, Corona, Anthrax, these diseases caused chaos. Killed families by billions, done by humans themselves! Come again on how much chaos Trojan war caused? You really are pathetic, a goddess with no purpose!”

“Are you done?” Eris said.

“Oh no. I’m not done. I’m just starting!” You say. “Humans don’t need you to be evil, they’re already evil! You have a golden apple, I host the humanity’s worst and chaos. The gods think I’m the second Pandora. My world is an orchard of damnation and chaos. I’ve seen it all. You’re nothing!”

A dark red light envelops you, and this feeling of tearing someone down is so… sweet. Making someone seethe and mald doesn’t even compare to this ecstasy!

It felt good, whatever this was! It was then your necklace begin to glow, brighter and brighter until- oh man what a warm light, it’s really soft too. You blink, and the red light surrounding you disappeared. You clear your throat. Goddess Eris stumbled back, as did all the gods, pale in pure shock. But why were they staring at you and not the windows?

“Anyways. That’s it.”

The colosseum was silent… maybe this was a bit overkill. It was then Eris’s turn, which was really really lame. After that neither you or Eris cracked.

“I’m not fighting her.” Eris said flatly. “Send some other goddess to do it.”

Yay…?

“Stay here for a bit.”

Hermes flew high to where the kings of the pantheons were. It was then another goddess entered.

“Hey what’s going on?”

From the entrance was not anothe goddess. No, it was something much more. Ares, Thor, Cu Chulainn, Anubis, and other gods entered.

“What’s going on?”

“Listen kid, these fine men will take you to your room. Since Eris is forfeiting you need to wait.” Hermes said.

“Then wouldn’t the booth be a better option?”

“It’s going to take a while, that’s why.”

Something’s wrong you can feel it…

No nukes or guns would get you out of this. So now here you were, stuck in your room with Anubis and Cu Chulainn. Anubis was armed with two kopesh that were strapped on his waist. Ares and Thor stood outside the room. Cu had his famous gaebolg in his hand. Your attempt to make any conversation was met with stern glare from Anubis, and an apologetic smile. Even the smallest movement had their hands move to their weapons. So all you did was look at your laptop with nothing much to do other shit posting.

“So… anything interesting going on?”

Again, silence. You pout.

“Fine, be boring.”

You move the laptop to the table in front of your bed and get under your blankets. If they’re gonna take their sweet ass time you might as well take a good nap from it. Though you couldn’t help but feel the stare from the two gods. You turn around to look at them. Anubis was the same, but Cu stared at you apolgetically.

“You can’t let a girl sleep peacefully? Oh for the love christ can’t you two talk?”

You plead with puppy dog eyes… and that didn’t work either. And unfortunately you can’t sleep under their gazes. You sit up and take the laptop and again, you watch some movies and make the time go by. You shut your laptop close with an audible thud.

“Can you at least tell me what’s going on? Please?”

You get off of your bed, grab Cu’s clothes and plead again. Cu avoided looking you in the eye.

“For fuck’s sake all I did was enjoy some trash talking and glowing in red that sure as fuck doesn’t mean I’m going to start unleashing some ‘evil’ into the world!”

Cu gently grasped your hand.

“Lass. You have my pity. You really do.”

Anubis growled.

“Cu Chulainn. That is enough.”

“The lass has the right to know!” Cu Chulainn said. “The leaders of the pantheons are decidin’ what ta do with you.”

“They’re gonna kill me aren’t they?”

Cu knelt to meet your eyes.

“Naw naw. Don’t worry about that, just stay calm.”

You break off from Cu’s hands and return to your bed, with simple pissed off frown. You needed to get out of here, and find a way to be never found again. With a materialized plasma TV, HDMI cable, and another blanket, you play American Gods Season 1 Episode 1 then start to binge. This wasn’t really the plan. Underneath the blanket the smaller blanket you materialized covered the materlialization of a flashbang. You could only hope that the two gods would be entertain, at least distracted.

But as your luck would have it, it didn’t work. A season later Cu and Anubis left, replaced by Parvati and Leto. You glare at them both, unsure of why they were replacing the two formidable gods.

“Greetings, child.” Leto said. “Be not at worry, we are not here to harm you.”

“I can’t help but to worry when I know I’m going to be executed…”

Leto sat beside you on the bed. You wanted to tell her to fuck off, but that smile of hers was difficul to say no to, so was Parvati’s. As expected for the goddesses of motherhood. They knew how to get past your paranoia. Not a single trace of lies were seen from Parvati, and you simple let her comb your hair with a beautiful comb, its beauty of encrusted gems and its gleam would place you in a trance. Parvati gently took you head on her lap.

“I know you must be afraid. Let fear not control your heart.” Leto said softly.

You hear a beautiful plucks of the lyre and Leto begin to sing a lullaby, so gentle and serene any worries you had began to subside. So slowly so steadily, your mind dipped into the darkness. Along with Parvati’s massage and Leto’s lullaby, nothing would stop you from waking up.

You open your eyes. It was your booth, there was your laptop, the table, and you on your bed. Oh right, you were in a goddess tournament so you could win your own freedom. You scratched your head as you got up, unsure of what was going on before you went to sleep. Eh, couldn’t have been important. You exit your room/realm, feeling a bit confused and tired, you let out a yawn that was longer than you expected.

“Arpanet!”

It was Epona, along with her small herd of mares with her. You yawn again then wave, huh, no wonder you didn’t remember anything, maybe you just drank too much with Epona and forgot about anything. She smiled nervously.

“Congratulatios on your victory with Eris.”

“Eris? Oh yeah I fought her, though I can’t remember much.” You scratch your head. “What happened again?”

“Oh, uh. You fought with her in glorious combat and won! Then we both drank.” Epona said. “Good on ya!”

By the splintering headache, it must’ve been one hell of a fight or whiskey.

“Uh huh…”

“I dunno, they’re announcing the next fight!”

Man it is way too loud for this annoying hangover, jesus christ and you’re still not out yet! You saw Hermes as per usual, but not as energetic before. Showbiz must be a tough business.You grab yourself a plateful of fruits, chomping on the sweet meats of some oranges and seedless prickly pears.

“At the young age of sixty-five, she has already defeated the swift Skadi and deceptive Eris.”

Huh?

“Now, amongst the warrior goddess she makes her stand to withstand the tides of onslaught. Goddess of Humanity, Internet, and trickery, ARPANET”

Wait wait wait! You just got off of another battle!

If there was one thing humanity feared, was death. On the internet, some welcomes it, and others aren’t afraid of it. But all in all, you knew there was a splinter of fear in each and every one of them. At this very moment, every inch of your body was paralyzed by fear. You need to say something, do something, make an escape plan or something! Epona didn’t help either, her eyes were wide and her jaw was simply left open. Even some of the other goddesses watched with apprehension, some were disgusted, others were in awe. Though you saw in the opposite end Aphrodite was laughing and mocking her appearance.

“Uh… good luck. Arpanet. I’ll make some Shepherd’s Pie once it’s over.” Epona said.

“I’m dead, I’m so so dead…”

“You’re worrying too much Arpi.” Epona said. “I’m sure Lady Hel won’t just snuff you out. This is a tournament.”

“Did a goddess died before?”

“No.” Epona said, avoiding your gaze. “But uh, one did was beaten pretty brutally.”

“Do I want to know?”

“No. Not at all.”

“Well that makes me feel better…”

You walk the halls again all against your lonesome. Each step you took closer to the exit your heart begin to beat faster. Drones, nukes, maybe flashbangs can do some damage on her. Humanity faced death before. You may not be exactly goddess of humanity but you were damn well close to one. The arena was rather normal, a wide field of salt… and the other side was Lady Death, Hel. Like the Prose Edda recorded, the half of her face was just painful to look at.

Half of her face was bare red muscle fresher than a rare steak with a milky white eye. A garb of black dress wrapped her with a black fur cape. On top of her head was a crown made from finger bones. Jesus Christ how are you still standing? But the weirdest part? She was armed with a simple dane ax made from a wooden handle and iron.

“Let the match, BEGIN!”

Hermes flew far right after his announcement.

“Arpanet.” Her voice was raspy yet smooth, like sweet rum. “I commend you on not running away. I’ve always endeared humanity.

In her cold presence, you couldn’t move.

“So what will you do? Throw your flashbangs, smoke grenades, materialize your warhound drones, make me sick with radiation? Or maybe you’ll use those HEAA missiles against me, or materialize a tank. A Ukranian soldier told me the Americans brought their newly made tank M2A2D Abrams. So, what will it be, child of humanity? Come, I’ll make it painless as possible”

What. The. Fuck.

Can you still win?

Show her human compassion. Let us show her our memes, the wholesomeness of humanity, the goodness and kindness that overflows in their hearts. Let us show her how Humanity ever strives to do better, that even in their darkest hours they reach forth and try to help the fellow man.


Let us show her kindness that was never asked. Let us show her moments of salvation and decentness. Let us show her the good of humanity and tell her our answer.

"Death? death is but a moment, a fleeting thing that comes and disappears. But the goodness of humanity? It resonates in eternity through me, it is forever ingrained, into me. Never shall their goodness be forgotten, never shall hope be lost."


Bitch can handle the size of my "good'ness", if you know what i meeeaaaannnn!!!!

I mean, we are the literal incarnation of the internet and could very well be called the Akashic Records of human creation. Since, you know, we contain all of humanities vast understanding of everything around them. Besides, so long as humans exist, we will exist, and i am pretty sure some madlad in the future will find out how to achieve immortality and also how to prevent entropy since, you know, humanity likes to meet a challenge head on and tell it to "go fuck itself". And we? We will be right with them, ready to meme the entire occasion since that is what we do and what we have done since our creation.


besides, Memes are the DNA of the soul (which we know is eternal and infinite) and we are made of the stuff, so like, we are basically immortal. right?

You’re fucked. Seriously, you’re fucked. Of course, she’ll know about this stuff! Out of all types of gods of course the rulers of the dead would speak to humans the most. Out of sheer fear you materialize a strap of smoke grenades. You were close to pulling the pin, but somehow you knew her victory will be inevitable. She’s the daughter of Loki, right? Maybe you can win her with kindness.

“If you don’t mind asking, why are you participating?”

“It’s simple.

You open windows to the most wholesome memes there are. The early 2000s and 2005s had really wholesome moments.

“If you don’t mind asking, why are you participating?”

“Child, if you think I am a victim of cruelty you are far from wrong.”

“As expected of humanity, so quick to assume and so eager to react.” Hel said.

Something cold sank into your arm.

“Huh?”

It didn’t hurt at first. But you saw it, your arm, flying high in the air as the ax swung. When did she get behind you? Not a second after your face was on the salt floor, grinding against it with Hel’s heel on the back of your head. It hurts. It hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts

It hurts. You let out a throat-ripping scream.

“...give up.”

“What?”

Your hand balled into a tight fist, you grind your teeth in your gritting glower. Tears begin to form in your eyes. Loki’s warning flooded back into your head. What if, just what if they really meant to take you for themselves? Forget everything, it’s better to keep the other arm, You were sure that Hel wouldn’t hesitate to cut you again.

“I give u-”

It was then Hel stomped on your head harder than before. No thoughts ran in your head, save for how everything was dark and painful it was. She grabbed your neck and raised you high in the air.

“Wise of you, but disappointing. You have my pity… and my respect. No matter how painful it will get. Do not forfeit.”

Your world went white, searing pain burned on you with each punch to your face. No breath was interrupted by a gurgling cough, and by the third punch one of your tooth was punched out. With your swollen eye, you saw Hel looking up where the leaders of the pantheon were, she then dropped you.

“I didn’t want to do this, I gope you will know that.”

God, you just want to go back to the internet. Coming here was a mistake. Not like you had a choice though. Now that you thought about it, just who sent you that invitation? Ah, not like it matters.

“I forfeit. I give my victory to Arpanet.”

Huh?

“Winner is Arpanet.” Hermes announced.

Hel walked back to the halls, while you were struggling to stand back up. Hermes stared at the other entrance.

“Next match is Arpanet, Goddes of Internet, versus-”

Oh hell no…

I think they sealed our true power and now they testing just how much can we take before breaking. Or they are want us dead but making it long and painfull. You know.. for the lulz.

Björk-So Broken (not ost ability I thought it was just fitting)

“Sekhmet, of Egypt.”

Blood obstructed your vision with red. The throbbing pain from the previous pain. You saw Sekhmet enter, at least you thought it would be her. Instead, it was Bastet, sporting not a cheshire smile but a completely emotionless visage. The golden orbs that her eyes bore into you, cold and cruel.

“Bastet?”

Hermes looked toward the seat of the leaders, the nodded toward them. Bastet walked into the arena as if she’s owned this place. Bastet hummed as she arrived to the center of the arena, and more specifically, at you. She clicked her tongue as she scratched her head, then looked at where the Hindu deities were.

“Whoo, I don’t see Shiva and Kali… and Kamapuaʻa had to calm down Pele. As always our fathers and their old ways make trouble for everyone. Ain’t that right birdy?”

“Just do what you’re told, Bastet.” Hermes said. “I don’t like this more than you do.”

“I understand. But I’m not letting Sekhmet do this.” Bastet said, casually scratching her head. “Sekhmet is a soft one underneath her tough act. She would never forgive herself if she did this.”

“And you?”

Bastet shrugged, she looked at you, with the same blank expression, eyes of a predator bearing down on you. Fear set into you, graspinig it with its cold piercing claws. Bastet pulled out an embalming dagger, and without hesitation she walked toward where you were.

Here we go again, being the punching bag. Why didn’t you stay at home? It wasn’t as if that threat wasn’t really solid. God, all of this, just because you were born. That’s pretty bullshit.

“I forfeit…” You croak out. “I forfeit so please, just let me go home. I want to go home. I lost an arm, isn’t that enough?”

It wasn’t.

>You did your best to hold on, even had the chance to administer yourself some adrenaline and morphine when Bastet was distracted.
>Through pain, rage boiled in your stomach, why? Why were you punished like this?
>You didn’t have the energy to scream, but that didn’t stop the cutting

>So it's an execution still, just a criminally slow one. Truly the legends of the cruelty of gods were not exaggerated. Do your masters enjoy this? Do they take some perverse pleasure in having the object of their ire beaten to death publicly? Or do they think that using the tournament as a fig leaf for their actions will somehow absolve them of guilt? And you, do you think that you're free from guilt just because you were told to do this, that somehow following orders from on high somehow washes away the blood on your hands? Because humanity learned the truth of that lesson a century ago. "I was just following orders" is no excuse. A soldier who cannot decide right from wrong is as dishonorable as the commander they follow. It took sixty million dead jews to get that lesson across. The lot of you are animals, petty and fearful, no more enlightened than the humanity you toyed with and abandoned millenia ago. May the blood you spill never wash from your hands.

The drug managed to lessen the pain you had, but really that was just the only thing you had. Honestly, you’re surprised at how long you were holding on to. A small part of you regretted that you took the drugs. Bastet tossed the embalming dagger with the same indifferent visage, well she looked much more annoyed. Why is Bastet looking so worried?

Darkness soon took your eyes, You found yourself in an endless stretch of darkness, no longer covered in blood but completely fine. And in that darkness, you saw Hephaestus and another girl who looked just like you. They were laughing, smiling as a father and daughter would do. Must’ve been nice.

“Heya.”

You turn around, and it was a girl that looked exactly like you, dressed in an Olympian garb.

“So, you’re Pandora.”

Pandora smiled, it was eerie to see someone that looked like you move.

“And you’re Arpanet.” Pandora said. “I didn’t know I look this beautiful. Have you been pestered by my cousin Apollo yet?”

“I thought you were dead.” You say. “How are you here, or are you just an illusion?”

She shrugged.

“Yes no maybe so I don’t know.” Pandora said. “I don’t even know how I got here. But I;m getting the feeling why I’m here. You know, either you’re really stupid or incredibly brave not seeing that.”

“See what?”

You see a gigantic blob of red, it smelled of rotting meat and just as ugly, bulging in its blue veins and oozing puss. A metal gate opened, then a gate made of brimstone materialize then sucked the blob of flesh with ease. You didn’t even have the time to panic.

“What… what the fuck was that?”

“Your new duty, that is the corruption of humanity, it’s way bigger than before.” Pandora said casually.

“Duty? Uh uh, no way no how. I’m not you! I’m the goddess of the internet!”

“Says who? You? Don’t be an idiot.”

You clench your teeth together. You didn’t know how to exactly feel about being insulted by someone with the same face as you have.

“Whether you like it or not, It’s with you, I’m surprised you managed to keep it at bay for so long. What were you doing the whole time?” Pandora said.

“Shit posting.” You answer honestly.

“What is that?” Pandora said. “Well whatever it is keep doing it. And you see that gate?”

“How can I not?”
>>
>>5167100
“Maybe you’re more durable than I was or just plain stupid. But no matter what happens, do not open it.” Pandora said. “I know I know, it’s obvious. But trust me, there will be a time when opening the gate will be disgustingly appealing. Don’t make the same mistake as I did.”

Pandora gently held your hands.

“Is that how you… died?”

Pandora nodded silently.

“Holding all that malice while smiling as if nothing is wrong, for hundreds of years. I didn’t want to worry my father and my cousins. Eventually, it broke me. And now humanity suffers because of my weakness.”

"It wasn't your fault."

"It was... But now you're here."

Pandora met your forehead with hers, cupping your cheeks warmly. It was warmth that was familiar that made you drowsy.

“I need to go now. Please tell father that none of it was his fault will you?”

“Yeah, I’ll see you later." You say sincerely. "Pandora.”

You open your eyes, feeling the warm puddle of your own blood with the gods shouting. There was a man with a head of a falcon. An old man with one glowing eye with a beard. Another man in a beard in an Olympian garb. Another man in red hair sported a grizzly look and green eyes. It wasn’t hard to tell they were the leaders of the pantheons, and worst of all they looked weirdly happy with you. While some were hesitantly smiling. You realized you were dressed in the Olympian garb, the same kind that Pandora wore.

“Pandora!” Zeus said. “You’re awake. That was some hit you took.”

Is this… is this mother fucker serious?

Is this… is this mother fucker serious? No no, he isn’t. You look at Zeus’s face. A rugged handsome old man with a beard to go along with it. Zeus had a smile that would make the ladies swoon, and you wanted to swoon out of the sheer audacity of this son of a bitch. That cunt deserved a face full of bear mace, but at your state, this wasn’t the best idea. Even at your weak state, your temper wasn’t down.

“Ha? Are you retarded?”

The smile went from hero to zero in a snap. It was then Zeus created his lightning bolt. You would’ve been fried to a crisp is not for the tallest god grabbing his shoulder. From what you spoke with Epona this was the big dog of the Celtics, Dagda. Out of all gods he was the tallest, in both muscles and height, with a red unruly beard and wild hair dressed in tightly fitting woolen cloak.

“Zeus, I gaet tat Pandora was yer kin which gaeves you some amn’t of dictayte.” Dagda said, you saw his grip tighten. “But I won’t be abidin’ this, she’s just a lass.”

“She’s a threat to us all, Dagda.” The one eyed god, Odin, said. “I’m with Zeus on this one.”

You see wings of fire forming from the final god, Ra. Dagda and Ra faced off of the two opposing gods. And you were in the smack-dab middle of it.

“Dagda is right. This will only create further rage.” Ra said. “Odin, Zeus, I will not let her be manipulated longer.”

“We have yet to hear what Shiva has to say.” Odin said.

“He was already against this.” Dagda said. “If not for him Kailee would be going fer yer heads.”

“Your method failed, Zeus.” Ra said. “And I won’t be standing for it any longer. Also, you forgot the last person to ask.”
Indeed they forgot. Behind the four god was the only goddess that lead a pantheon. The one that you didn’t much speak to other than Inari Okami. For a sun goddess, the temperature sure as hell dropped. Even with a fan that hid half of her face even, you were afraid. A swarm of foxes arrived and created a wall between you and the four gods. You could only listen now.

“Truly, this was a plan of recklessness,” Amaterasu said. “And I grow tired of watching an innocent girl be harmed for any longer. Now, with this once holy tournament stained by our own inability to solve the Pandora issue. I suggest we try a different method.” Amaterasu said. “For one, she suffered long enough and we are not lacking in alternative plans.”

“So we’re to treat her with kindness and love?” Dagda said.

“No, you oaf.” Amaterasu said sharply. “We teach her. She will have a heart of a samurai, and the mind of a scholar. Either way, we should do it now.”

>>5167528
“What’s this odd music?”

“That is the goddess Arpanet’s ability.” One of the foxes answered.

“Ah yes, that ear grating sound from her match against Skadi. Her ability is that of an omen messenger. An odd ability, she’d make for a fine oracle if she marries the right god.” Amaterasu said. “Or should she marry into a musically gifted god? Now that I think about it, she belongs to no pantheon. Hmm...”

“And just what omen would that be, woman?” Zeus said.

The ground begin to shake, and a brand new level of heat entered. Then the ground shook even more. Then more… Jesus ass fucking christ! IS THAT FUCKING LAVA? WHY THE FUCK THERE’S FIRE EVERYWHERE

“ARPANETTT!”

PELE?

“RETRIBUTIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"

HOLY SHIT THAT’S KALI

“An omen of destruction.” Amaterasu said.

An unquenchable rage boiled inside your guts, a fire that could not and would not be tamed. All this suffering, the bullshit you endured the entire time. For what? For some rapist to now try and trick you into thinking you're Pandora? And your arm, your FUCKING ARM. What the fuck is gonna happen to it now? GODDAMN YOU’RE JUST BEYOND PISSED OFF!

“G-goddess Arpanet, I would advise to not exit the-”

You push through the wall of foxes, the shove Amaterasu, Ra, Dagda, and give a dirty slide look at Odin’s eye with clenching in your teeth that would rip the second hand of Tyr. You saw Zeus, the cocksucker, the god that cause the most trouble. You grab his shoulder and twist him toward your face. Zeus glanced at what’s behind him and to you.

“Now, young goddess. This was all for the good of all humani-”

You interrupted his words with a square gut punch, then followed with roughly grabbing his hair to introduce his face to your knee. Then, a soccer kick on his balls. The moment he had his leg quiver you sweep his legs. You mount on top of him, then punch him center of his face,

“I WAS HAPPY!”

You punch his face again.

“LIVING IN MY OWN LITTLE WORLD!”

This time you missed and hit his cheek, not that it mattered.

“WASTING MY TIME DOING USELESS THINGS! NOT KNOWING A DAMN THING!”

This time his throat.

“THEN YOU!”

Your knuckle digs into his eye.

“YOU BROUGHT ME HERE!”

You grab his hair then headbutt his nose. You saw the locked gate, and the malice seeping out slowly. You look at your one (and only) bloody hand, then you feel the dampness on your forehead from the headbutts. You get off of Zeus, you’d just had enough of this place. You could probably find some prosthetics for the time being.

“Let’s not it be said that we tried the merciful way… and now look. Rage does bring forth the malice within you.” Zeus said. “I won’t let an imitation of my granddaughter walk around like a cheap imitation.”

In a flash of a moment, he had his hand around your throat. You can’t breathe, not at all. Zeus however looked like nothing has happened to him.

“I told you two. The only way to bring out the corruption in her is to push her to unleash it, now is our chance to fully pull the roots of the chaos she holds. Then we seal it per the plan. Well? GO!”

You see Amaterasu, Dagda, Shiva and Ra, hesitant but with a determined grimace. But you see it, each of them calling the best of their warriors. Ares, Shiva, Durga, Badb, Sif, Thor, Tyr, Athena, Sekhmet, Isis, Cu Chulainn. They all stared you with unadulterated fear, why? You’re the victim here, not Zeus. Just… why? That’s right. You’re the victim.

Choose wisely. This will affect the story and interaction of the gods with you.

>Fuck this. Fuck all of them. Liars, they were all liars. If they die no one’s gonna notice them anyways. If they want corruption, malice, wrath, all the evils of the world they’ll get it. It was time for humanity to be truly free of the gods.
New Ability Unlocked, The Shape Of Wrath: Ignoring Pandora’s advice, you took some malice from the locked door, not enough to take hold of you but enough. The pulsating malice of humanity… you could shape them into the weapon of your choosing. With this. They would taste the culmination of centuries of human wrath that consumed them, even to this day.
>You’re the victim, but they wouldn’t know… or maybe they didn’t care at all. You can’t fight them all, but you can run and survive, just like what humanity has been doing. It was never about winning, the true victors were not the ones that triumphed, but the ones that kept on living.
New Ability Unlocked, Second Wind:Your body begins to feel light, and soon turn into smoke, you changed the composition of the molecules into the gas of your choosing to slowly choke them out. No regular weapons of the gods could pierce you, but you could hit them back. You were able to shape the winds into lethal blades, enough to bleed the gods but it would take considerable strength to truly kill them. You can run, or fight.
>You had enough of this, you just wanted to die, to be free of this pain. If you were going to be seen as a threat to be disposed of why not just… kill yourself? Maybe that way you can really rest and get away from these jackasses.
New Ability Unlocked, The Hanging Maiden: Your absolute despair and the wish to die soon disappears, from your chest a thick straw rope burst forth. It was as if you unknowingly saved yourself by letting the thoughts of suicide into a physical manifestation, so it won’t harm you. The rope stretched everywhere and tied the gods, but their struggle was rather… weak. They were losing their will to fight you! But a few moments some gods managed to stand back up, each god and goddess had their own resistance it looks like…

While they are assholes, let's not turn into a being of evil and malice, we must remember the good sides of the internet and humanity, prove them wrong and let's get out of here, plus it'd be hilarious to see what they'd do with Zeus after they see us still being good.

Sometimes you can run, sometimes you can't, and in those moments your only chance of staying alive is to be the most violent and vicious son of a bitch, to give absolutely everything you have until your opponent is dead or discouraged enough to leave you alone. And they're not going to leave us alone, so we better have a way to make sure they do.

Make it the Venom Snake bionic arm but stronger, a prosthetic not meant to be a replacement, but a weapon. Add a vibrating mantis blade in it if we can, and if we can get more than one weapon, get a desert eagle or a very gun pistol in the other hand.

You’re the victim, but they wouldn’t know… or maybe they didn’t care at all. You can’t fight them all, but you can run and survive, just like what humanity has been doing. It was never about winning, the true victors were not the ones that triumphed, but the ones that kept on living. Your body begins to feel light, and soon turns into smoke, Zeus and the other gods panicked as they looked around to see where you were.

you changed the composition of the molecules into the gas of your choosing to slowly choke them out. No regular weapons of the gods could pierce you, but you could hit them back. You were able to shape the winds into lethal blades, enough to bleed the gods but it would take considerable strength to truly kill them. You can run, or fight.

“Find her Zephyr!” Zeus said.

“Amun, flush the air!” Ra commanded

“Njord!” Odin summoned.

“Aos Si!” Dagda called.

The four deities of wind saw you in the air where you just begin to took hold of your new form. They managed to find your location with pinpoint accuracy. Summon pressurized winds and large gust deterred them a little. In turn, without much of care for anyone, you changed the molecule within you. Before you knew it, the gods of the arena begin to choke, unable to breathe. Molecule itself was nature, and therefore hurt them.

They may be the deities of the wind, but you weren’t. You floated there, watching the gods hacking up, you bet they never had this kind of problem before. C10 H5 ClN2 also known as compound 2, also know as chlorobenzalmalononitrile, and also known as the riot gas. Sure, you weren’t strong enough to take a god down with strength, but when did humanity rely on strength to survive? Right now you didn’t need to beat them, you just need to escape them. It was time for you to go. But not before snapping a pic of Zeus’s contorting face with tears in his eyes. Oh boy, they’re starting to get up…

>Say one last goodbye to Artemis, maybe it was Pandora’s remnant in you, but you felt like she deserved at least a proper farewell from you.
>You needed to go, but you promised Pandora to delvier her message to Hephaestus. But the risk…

More Loki and Fenrir, also I want to see Pele again she was nice, we didn't get to see much of the Japanese so them too.

Wow… it looks like Ares want to rip you in half and gut you like a fish the way he’s looking at you. It really was time for you to go. But you promised Pandora to deliver her message to Hephaestus. But the risk… damn it all. He did give you that pendant after all. In your gaseous form traveling the arena was a cinch since you could just about squeezed into any crevices The issue was where he was.

The once vibrant area of where the gods partied were empty, just an eerie empty spaces like an abandoned amusement park. Except, it wasn’t as creepy as one. Haphaestus wasn’t at where the Olympians were, damn it where is that hairy man?

“Looking for that failure of a son of mine?”

You found yourself a woman sitting on one of the well crafted chair of marble and gold, the woman was probably the most beautiful you’ve seen here. Except she had the bitchiest face that ever existed. Man you just want to slap her but also give her a bottle of wine, but it looks like she already has a chalice of her own.

“I am?”

“He’s beneath the arena at the armory.” The woman said.

“Thanks!”

You leave the area and through the cracks of doors and walls you make it down to the armory. You hear the clang of hammers and the hiss of the forge. You returned to your solid form and see Haphaestus smithing away with a gleeful face.

“Ah, Arpanet. What brings you here?” Haphaestus said.

Wow he must’ve been forging all day, look at all these weapons. Thank god he wasn’t there, he would’ve tried to stop them from killing you and woud’ve gotten hurt instead.

“Listen I need to go soon but I’m here to deliver a message, from Pandora. She wanted to tell you that it wasn’t your fault.”

Delivering a message to his dead but somehow not dead daughter. This is a new experience for sure, an awkward one. Haphaestus grabbed you by the shoulder and shook you.

“Pandora? You saw her? How? Where? Ah…” Haphaestus released his grasp. “I apologize, I let my excitement get the best of me.”

You hear the rumbling footsteps and muffled shouts from above. The door to the armory explode, and an angry Ares busted through.

“YOU!” Ares said.

“Ok gotta go bye!”

You made your escape soon after. Far away from the colosseum, you materialize the same door. And just like that, you were home. Back into the black empty space of the internet, where the windows reflected the websites you could enter. It was good to be back home… and man are you in need of a bath. You materialize a fancy ceramic tub along with all manners of loofahs and towels… except you couldn’t materialized any water or any natural materials.

So instead, you materialized a nice stack of hot damp towels and wipe yourself from the blood and cuts. The once white and fluffy towles were stained with blood but you were feeling much better and cleaner. You close your eyes, and you need a nap, a really really long nap.

End of “Tournament” Arc

I wouldn't mind more direct control or elaboration on how we interact with humanity.
>>
>>5168856
I want to know how much we can use humanity to our advantage. I mean we've mostly just observed and shitposted up until now but there should be a lot we can so just through the internet.
Most banks are largely online at this point so securing funds should be easy for us, from there we can start funding reasearch and development into redundant networks to keep our home secure, plus things like robotics so we can have some physical servants in meatspace. Oh and we should start funding the hell out of theologians/paranormal researchers, now that we know gods are real we need to start figuring out how best to study and ultimately protect ourselves from divine magics, or even go on the offensive

A lot happened after the tournament was over. The first thing you did were ignoring any mail that was sent from Artemis, knowing full well that she was probably told by Zeus to appease you. Wherever a mail arrived you simply burned it to ashes, even if it was from Hephaestus. There was no way in hell you were going to risk that. You did get some mail from Epona and Pele, telling them of the human world. Though despite your countless invitation they never seemed to visit, usually the reason is the human world wasn’t really worth setting their foot on… they were your friends but their arrogance as goddesses can really be something else.

In the forestry mountains of the Swiss Alps you simmer into the hot tub you materialized at a small mountain top. Ever since you entered the tournament with the simple materialization of the door, you discovered you could travel wherever you want. Being able to turn into the wind is also was a way fun way to travel too. You still wondered why no gods and goddesses wanted to see humanity. Sure it was bad but it also had its good aspects. Well not like it matters, more for you to explore.

After traveling around the world, there was one place you’ve been preparing for: Japan. Not only because it’s almost the winter Comiket but also for good food. Sure, you didn’t need to eat but it still was a pleasure to do so. Watching the sun slowly rise, you take in the blossoming orange that spread across the mountains. You remembered back the tournament that happened a couple of months ago, and hopefully, you didn’t have to deal with any gods. Especially the Olympians.

“You’re a hard goddess to find.”
>>
You suddenly hear a rustle from behind the bush and quickly materialize a bathing suit on you, as well as a Mossberg 500. You cock the shotgun, was it a bear? As if merged with the shadow you only two bright golden eyes, the shadow took its shape into a man, and emerging from the dark was Fenrir. He gave a crooked grin that oozed with mischief which you replied with a materialized changing screen.

“Depending on how long you’ve been in the shadows I may or may not choke you.” You say seriously. “How did you find me?”

“I am Fenrir, the great wolf of Asgard.”

Fenrir said, as if that was meant to explain anything… well it does. What you didn’t explain is him appearing while you were taking a bath, naked. You had every right to blast the peeping son of a bitch, but from his kindness from the tournament, you chose to give him one chance.

“Were you peeping on me?”

“Why, I would never!” Fenrir said in the same tone as Loki would say, meaning real fucking obvious. “I assure you young maiden. Your chastity has not been defiled by my lustful gaze.”

You shoot through the screen then cock the shotgun again. They may not kill a god, but you know it stings like hell for them. Fenrir clears his throat after a moment of silence.

“And truly, I do apologize. I did not realize that tracking you would lead to finding you in a… vulnerable position.” Fenrir said. “I am here upon my father’s request to deliver a message. The kings of their pantheon offer you their sincere apology. Especially Zeus.”

“Tell that rapist to go fuck himself.” You say dryly. “Wait you guys don’t know what that means. Tell that rapist to shove a bolt of lightning up his ass.”

Fenrir chuckled.
“I will relay that to father.”

You prop your elbow on the tub and rest your face on the palm of your hand, then blow out a raspberry. You reach for your sixth caprisun and poke the hole with the straw. With a quick slurp you dip your shoulders into the hot water.

“And exactly why aren’t they here to apologize?”

“You’re a hard goddess to find. Many goddesses and gods of the hunts were sent to find you, yet they couldn’t.” Fenrir said. “I however, remember your scent.”

It would be creepy if he wasn’t a wolf.

“Well, you found me, congrats.”

“Where will you go now?” Fenrir asked.

“Wouldn’t you like to know.” You say with a glare. “Since you’re here I need to make the extra plan to avoid being tracked by you. So thanks for that.”

“I can help you to be undetected, I can smell a god from a great distance and you certainly need a companion. Even if it’s for a little while.”

“Asgard still thinks you’re chained up. What’s going to happen if they found out you weren’t?”

Fenrir shrugged.
“I’ll deal with that problem once it rises.”

You see the mischievous glint in him…

>Bring him with you,
>Don’t bring him with you
>>
>>5170652
>Bring him with you
Well, we wanted more of Fenrir and now he's here.
>>
>>5170652
>Bring him with you,
Why not, just explore and enjoy humanity's little things to calm yourself and maybe help them with some things

If we're the goddess of the internet we can use that ability to assist humanity with scientific advances and better internet connectivity so more people can have access to it as it in turn would make you more powerful
If the rest of the pantheon's don't want to get involved directly with humanity we could use our influence to help give them a little push in a more peaceful and prosperous direction as in turn it could have the gods see us in a better light and could help us control the darkness of humanity we hold within us
I think it wouldn't really matter if fenrir is with us or not as it wouldn't really change what we would be doing
>>
>>5170719
Also think we should at least read the mail from Hephaestus and not reply to of course, as he was the only other decent Olympian we interacted with other than Artemis, but I think Artemis was trying to see if their was any pandora left in us from what I got from her interactions with Arpanet with her attempts to get close to us as if we were already connected, though keeping in mind that it could still be orders from Zeus

Well, he’s useful at least. That, and you admittedly been a bit lonely in your travels. Then again, when was the last time he saw humans, what does even think of human as, snacks? After dressing back up you dematerialize most of your items save for a small pack you keep. Then you see Fenrir in his wolf form with a dead deer in his mouth, right as about you were to cook some cup ramen.

“Ew oh god!” You shout. “Fenrir what the fuck!”

Fenrir returned to his human form then confusedly stared at you.

“It’s dinner, won’t it taste great in this view?”

“What makes you think I know how to skin and cook a deer?”

“You have the knowledge of humanity, there must be surely a way to efficient cook a fresh a kill.” Fenrir said. “I’ll gather some firewoods.”

Without much about hearing your thoughts he went off into the forest. There’s first time for everything too, you might as well try it.
.
.
.
You’re covered in blood, tired, but before you was a nice going campfire with a nice deer roasting.

“Oh hoh, I knew you could do it.”

“And what took you so long?” You said with a slight aggravation. “Don’t tell me you were gone for so long just collecting wood.”

“Spare me your nagging, girl.” Fenrir said with a sigh. “I also made sure no gods were watching was.”

“Guess I owe you a thanks.” You said.

After a good meal you and Fenrir get ready to travel. Except he was still dressed in a traditional nordic clothes. You materialize some modern clothes and convince Fenrir to wear it, which you needed to help like a mom helping his son dress. And you totally didn’t stared at his chiseled body.

“So where are we going?” Fenrir asked.

“We’re going to Japan.”

Fenrir quirked an eyebrow.

“Where those gods are? They’re all boring gods.”

“Well, their descendants are not.”

After reviewing him the rules of the human world you and Fenrir enter through the door. You were going to-

>Kyoto, for the food and the temples you’ve been wanting to visit. That and the geishas you always wanted to see.
>Tokyo Big Sight, to participate in the Winter Comiket 2026, yes you can materialize them or read them online, but buying one is an experience on its own.

Tokyo Big Sight, to participate in the Winter Comiket 2026, yes you can materialize them or read them online, but buying one is an experience on its own. As usual the windows did not do justice to the actual comiket. Rows of people were organized yet in full chaos, a peaceful battlefield that raged on with passion and dedication. Cosplayers posed for their pictures, their costumes being their greatest prides. Otakus and photographers alike fervently discussed their hobbies. Some argued expectedly on some trivial anime stuff.

“All this, for some art? They’re all dressed like… clowns.”

“It’s called cosplay and it’s art.” You quickly came to their defense. “Come on I there’s some doujins I want to buy. Stay here and don’t make any troubles.”

“I can’t go with you?”

“No, going in there is a bit… let’s just say it’s a large culture shock for you.” You said.

“Nonesense, I am the great wolf Fenrir! No shock will dishearten me.” Fenrir said confidently. “Onward!”

Fenrir grabbed you by the hand and tried to go forward but you plant your feet firmly. It took all of your strength to not stop him but to have him notice that you were trying to stop him. You thought about having him here in his wolf or human form, but you had a feeling he would also cause trouble. But having him here alone without you was also a bad idea. You were sure he was going to mock the people, hit on the women, and be disgusted by the hentai doujins.

“Fenrir, there are rules in that place where humans follow and frankly I don’t think you have the patience to do it!”

“They’re humans, little goddess.” Fenrir said. “I’m certain it will be of little matter.”

That bad feeling in your guts was right. While not disgusted, hewas more curious about the otaku culture. All in all he took it in stride. Sure he questioned on some of the BL you bought but he was busy on something else. The cosplayers. Your prosthetic arm painted like Venom Snake’s default arm was merely seen as cosplay, the lack of stare was a welcomed one. You were actually surprised Fenrir didn’t say anything about it given how curious he can be.

“They are dressed as fictional characters? But they are not gods so why are they doing this?”

“That’s because they like doing it, it’s a hobby.” You explained.

“They must be certainly rich enough to attain all these fabrics, are they all upper class humans?”

“No, they’re just regular people. That concept of upper class doesn’t really exist anymore. Well not in the old ways that is.” You explained again.

“Interesting… but it looks like the children of the rising sun are influenced by the Olympians.” Fenrir said.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Look over there.”

You quirk an eyebrow, then follow his pointed finger. Oh. That would make sense. The yaoi sections of all assorted interests. Maybe if Fenrir is ok with it you might as well lead him there, there were some doujins you wanted after all.

“Though I admit, humans have become quite the degenerates.” Fenrir said. “Looking at this makes a bit nauseous… damned Olympians and their damned degeneracy.”

Well, so much for that plan.

“You can just wait here then, I need to go get some stuff too.”

“Do not tell me you are also into this debauchery.”

Just out of curiosity, what would you anons think about adding Kratos (PS3) not the myth accurate into the qst? The setting will be Kratos didn't go stupid and didn't trigger GOW2 since he listened to Athena to stop having his Spartans from keep conquering.

If other anons are up for it then sure, I haven't actually played GOW or know much about it but it sounds like a fun addition to the quest.

Being a caucasian already brough him attention but his jet black hair and glinting blue eyes made him easily conspicuous. But it wasn’t that, it was his language. He wasn’t speaking english, oh no, he was speaking ancientI do nordic tongues. The kind that antrhopologists would tear their hair out trying to decipher.

“I’m the Goddess of Humanity. Of course I’ll be examining it.” You answer cooly and a shrug. “And it’s a big part of internet culture.”

“And you… enjoy this?” Fenrir said.

“Eh.” You shrug again. “It takes skill to draw stuff like this and I can appreciate the effort.”

You gently placed the BL doujin into your bag and continue to buy some doujins, the nsfw ones will have to be placed on hold. There was a good chance he could just lay waste of this place out of pure disgust. But aside from yaoi he took otaku culture in stride.

“Those are some shameless wenches!” Fenrir said with absolute glee. “Are they waiting to be taken?”

“That’s also cosplay.”

“They look like harlots.” Fenrir said plainly.”Hmm…”

“Fenrir? Hey Fenrir!”

You missed your chance to grab Fenrir’s shoulder. So he went off to the scatily dressed cosplayers like Wile E. Coyote. But that’s when you discovered that he couldn’t communicate with them.Weirder part was their use of English, German, and any other European language didn’t work. But he was speaking English wasn’t he? Do gods just communicate differently? It didn’t matter now. You’ll figure that out later. You needed to stop Fen… oh. The ladies were just smitten by him as he took his shirt off to reveal his carved body. Then again he is a son of a god and the gods were generally top tier models but you didn’t have much of an issues, humans were a whole different thing it seemed. You dig you way through the crowd to get to him, right where the cameras were.

“Fenrir!” You shouted. “I told you to stick close to me!”

“Ah there you are, be a dear and translate for me. I wish to tell them I want to fornicate them and spread my progeny. They’re basically asking to be bred!”

Ew.

You notice the swarm of cameras and the attention. Damn this stupid retard and his antics… You quickly apologize to the crowd and explain that he’s a foreigner and didn’t know better. As you did that, one of the staffs approach to you. A perk of a goddess was language was never an issue, even amongst god now that you thought about it.

“Excuse me, are you this gentleman’s wife?”

W-Wife?

“What makes you say that?” You said with slight aggravation.

“Our staff tried all the language we know to speak with him. You seem to be the only one who can communicate with him. And forgive me for saying it, you do look rather close to him.” The staff said.

“Excuse me.” One of the KIll La Kill cosplayer said. “We wouldn’t mind if he cosplayed with us. Unless he is your husband?”

You-

(Sorry for no art today guys)

You grab his hand for his safety more than the people, though that didn’t stop from you getting more attention from the cameras and the people, not to mention the bystanders. The flashes of the camera really began to bug you, enough to make you think about tossing an emp grenade you read about in /k/. The urge is there, but these people were unaware of the situation.

“No thank you. And he’s not my husband and not my boyfriend.” You thought for a second longer. “He’s a distant relative of mine.”

“Then you wouldn’t mind-”

“I would mind you fucking slut.” You said harshly. “Let’s go Fenrir.”

“The harlots-”

With all your might you drag Fenrir to somewhere more secluded, completely ignoring his protests and his needs for ‘wenches for his nude bodies.’ Even frat fags weren’t this annoying. You hoped not all Asgardians were like this. If they were like this you wondered if the Celtics were worse or tamer. You release his hand once you arrived somewhere quieter.

“What were you thinking?” You said angrily. “I said to stick close but the moment you had a chance you left!”

Fenrir shrugged.
“It looked fun, besides, the eyes pantheons of the Rising Sun are not here.”

“Either way bringing attention to yourself is just dangerous!”

“I don’t know, I quite like the attention. These plebians think I’m human so what’s the problem?”

You rub the bridge of your nose. God damnit, maybe you shouldn’t have brought him with you.

“The last thing I want is to attract attention, especially from someone who is assumed to be chained up in Asgard!” You shouted frustratingly. “I can’t even imagine the shitstorm if someone in Asgard finds out that you’re here! So please, for the love of god, try not to bring more attention to yourself.”

Fenrir slightly frowned.

“I understand, no need to be so tightly stiff. So are you finished with your examination?”

“No, but I’d rather not stick around here. There’s always next year too.”

“Next year? Then that’s not so far.” Fenrir said. “Then where will you head next?”

“Well…”

You did want to go to Kyoto, anyone who knew about Japan would, it was the number one tourist attraction after all. But that was the most likely place to have the eyes of the gods. So you resigned yourself to go to the alleyways of Tokyo. Unlike the stone roads and elegant buildings of Kyoto, Tokyo was a more homely place to be in. The streets were small and snug, with plenty of street food scattered in the alleyways. Then from the pitch-black sky, snow began to fall, a bit random but it was early Winter. Perhaps Winter came earlier.

The street lanterns adorned the alleyways, gently lighting the streets among the loud flashing lights of Tokyo. You hear the idle talks of the customers and the distant rumbles of the cars and trains. The smell of all manners of food hit your nostrils, each stalls and their own products attracted not only your attention but your hunger as well. Then there was Fenrir, staring at each stall with a glinting excitement in his eyes.

“Which one are you going to?” Fenrir said.

“I haven’t decided yet. What smells the best for you?”

Fenrir closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, then opened his eyes, he pointed at a stall run by an old woman.

“This one. But a goddess is the owner, see that woman?”

You see the pretty woman, then glare at Fenrir.

“Are you going there because you see a woman?” You say.

“Partly, but her food smells great, trust me Arpy.” Fenrir said.

You sigh but trust him. Fenrir and you arrive at the stall, there were some customers but there was space for you and Fenrir. Then you saw the woman’s reaction, staring at you and Fenrir with pure fear in her eyes, especially on you, then suddenly there was a gust of wind and a heavy fall of snow. You’ll materialize some coats later. For now, some food. You order some takoyaki and yakitori and for Fenrir he ordered some beer and yakitori. Man, the snow is really falling down hard today and all of a sudden too. Why does she look so afraid of Fenrir? Is it because he’s a foreigner or…?

>Talk about some Japanese gods, they may not understand the language you speak with Fenrir but the name of the gods won’t be translated… you think. Then watch her reactions.

“So hey, Fenrir. What happened after I left?”

Fenrir had a mouthful of the yakitori and washed it all down with beer. The snowfall made for beautiful scenery. Pure white snow mixing in the red colors of the lanterns, it warmed your heart… but it was still cold.

“Well.” Fenrir swallowed again. “Why don’t you ask the creature?”

The woman flinched at Fenrir’s gaze, then at yours. She was shaking as she tried her best to cook, you just now feel sorry for her. Maybe you should’ve left.

“What? Then what is she?” You asked with a whisper. “Are you sure she’s not human?”

Fenrir only shrugged then went for another swig of the beer, it looks like he liked the asian beer. What a carefree guy that was supposed to be a fugitive.

“It’s a creature in human disguise, the Rising Sun have plenty of tricky creatures. But they can’t evade my nose. Why not just ask her?”

“She looks deathly scared of us, I’m not going to terrorize someone for no reason!” You whispered loudly. “And I don’t know, what if she reveals where we are? Maybe she can be a familiar for a goddess.”

“I don’t know, but I know she isn’t a goddess.” Fenrir said. “Now quit worrying.”

“Fine… anyways. What happened to the Japanese pantheons?” You said. “I know Amaterasu was also going along with Zeus’s plan.”

You see the woman’s accidentally dropping a bottle of sake and some sake cups. Huh…

“Well Amaterasu and her gods left after you escaped. She said that she wasn’t going along with plans like this anymore after she saw what happened. Though she said she would look for you to train you as a proper goddess.” Fenrir said. “But their definition of a proper goddess is just pathetic and boring. She said she would teach you poetry and some studying. As if that’s needed. All you need to know is how to fight and hunt.”

“So they have no plan to kill me?”

“Not at all.” Fenrir said. “I’m sure they’ll apologize to you if they ever see you.”

Maybe you should just talk to her. You see the poor woman hastily picking up the broken glass shards as she apologized to the other customers. You stand from your seat and the woman immediately flinched. What is with that woman? And what is with the sudden downpour of snow?

“Uhm, excuse me miss.” You said carefully. “But-”

“W-Wait!” The woman suddenly shouted. “I know what you’re going to ask but please, we need to talk after closing time.”

“Fine with me.”

You explain to Fenrir the same situation

“As long she keeps bringing in food.”

It was then you noticed the stacks of skewers, he kept ordering but you were too busy to notice it. God damn it Fenrir you lard ass… So you and Fenrir waited until the last customers left. It was then you realized the woman was much more afraid.

“So, what are you really, a goddess?”

The woman shook her head and cornered herself. She glanced at you, then to Fenrir, then to you again. It was cornering a mice deciding whether to give up or to fight for its life in a desperate attempt.

“N-No I could never!” The woman said. “I-I’m what you calla yuki-onna. But my name is Airi, your grace.”

Yuki-Onna, a youkai that brought snow and fuck with any travelers. You guess that with so much technology that made traveling easier with cars, GPS, planes, and boats, she was out of places to haunt places.

“Nice to meet you Airi. I’m Arpanet.” You said kindly as possible.

“Y-You’re Arpanet? The Winds of Pestilence?” Airi said. “The one that became a wind that choked the gods and escaped unharmed?”

Hmm…? Unharmed she said?

“That’s quite the title for a fledgling goddess.” Fenrir said with a laugh.

“It is so not the time Fenrir. Just keep eating.” You said with a growl. “Anyways, I don’t know why you’re afraid of me but you don’t have to be I’m not here to harm you. Also, I wasn’t unharmed, see?”

You show her the prosthetic arm.

“T-Then are you here for revenge? I heard from the Grand Palace and other youkai that the gods tried to kill you.” Airi said.

“More or less, and no. I’mhere for Winter Comiket not for revenge.” You said showing the goodies. “See?”

Airi stared at the bags of doujins, the tense in her shoulders eased.

“Eh? But you’re a goddess.” She said confusedly. “And this is for… otakus.”

“So?”

“I just thought all goddesses were pristine and pure.” Airi said sheepishly. “I thought they would make poetry and spar.”

“That sounds boring.” You said.

“And…” Airi said carefully. “Is that Fenrir? The Fenrir?”

"You know who Fenrir is?" You asked with surprise.

She nodded fearfully.

"There is not a single creature that doesn't know his name and terrifying power..."

Fenrir made a toothy grin, apparently proud of being recognized.
>>
“Try to keep it between us will you?” You said politely.

“Yes, or else I will come back and devour you whole.” Fenrir declared all too happily.

Airi swallowed hard at the casually made threat but nodded.

“What he means is that please don’t reveal his status.” You said. “But what’s a yuki-onna doing in the alleyways in Tokyo running a stall?”

“The mountain I lived was modernized to a town…” Airi said despairingly. “Us yuki-onnas used to be local guardians to towns in the mountains during winter, usually defending travelers from other yuki-onnas who preferred to kill travelers with their powers. But now… no town needs us to defend them and we were forgotten. We couldn’t live as guardians anymore so we came to the city to start a new life. I helped an old man who used to run this stall and once he got too old his children moved him to a nursing home. So he gave the stall to me since his children weren’t interested in running the stall. He passed away ten years go, but he’s a in a better place now.”

Airi smiled with a hint of reminiscent sorrow, but the tenseness in her disappeared.

“Are other youkais living in the city?”

“Of course, those who can are part of society now. They change their identity every couple of decades to avoid attention. But most keep contact with the Bearu of Occult Affairs so it’s not that difficult for us to live in the human world.”

“The what?” You said confusedly.

“Oh right, I suppose being a goddess you wouldn’t be aware of such things. They’re a secret branch of government meant to be a liaison to us youkais. Other countries have them too, some are not kind as they are.” Airi said worryingly.

“Huh, I guess I didn’t deal with them since it’s easier for me to blend in.” You said. “But why were you scared of us, did you already know what we were?”

“Heh heh…” Airi laughed nervously. “W-Well, the gods usually have a presence that comes with them.Us youkai can see it and some humans too, usually that practices the old ways. When you two arrived the presence was like an alarm to all youkai to run. Especially the gentleman over there. Then I saw you, I for sure knew you were a goddess. I-I mean no disrespect your grace Arpanet!”

“Don’t worry about it, it’s fine.”

Fenrir however, grinned all too much at the awe and fear Airi had.

“I would be insulted if you weren’t afraid of me little girl.” Fenrir said. “I can devour gods and quake the earth with a single stomp!”

“Fenrir. Please stop scaring her…” You turn to Airi “Thanks for answering my questions and sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you that much. Thank you for the food, it was delicious.”

“N-No please, I should be the one thanking you for gracing my store,” Airi said.

You pay her the amount owed with plenty of tips and a bar of pure gold that you insisted her to take.

“Where will you go now?”

Fenrir suddenly shot from his seat. His gritting teeth soon turn into piercing fangs and his human form slowly started to change, it was like watching a werewolf on a full moon. He was more cautious than being calm. Guess he took his job seriously. You follow Fenrir’s lead and materialize a large harness and wrap it around him, you were unsure of what threat he smelled that made him so wary. It was then you begin to see foxes descend from far above the sky, with blue flames that lit brightly at the end of their tail. At a snap of a moment, Fenrir turned into a black dog, well more like a wolf-dog.

You then materialize a scarf, beanie, and a thick coat and glasses to cover your face much like a youtuber who was accused of being a pedo. Then, with all your might, fucking walk out normally as possible.

“Well time to go.: You said quickly. “Thanks for the meal and everything. I seriously need to go now.”

“But the gods want to-”

“I’m trying to avoid them for now. I can’t exactly trust them at the moment.” You said. “I had my chance to go visit them but still. I don’t exactly trust them.”

You take the nearest subway station and enter the subway. Wherever it took it didn’t matter. You were going to materialize a door anyways. Other than the attention of several females and children got, the ride was safe. At the outskirt outside the final subway station was a rural town, plenty of greeneries now devoid of people and coated by the darkness of the night.

You unclasp the harness and Fenrir turned into a bigger form of a wolf. You walked through to forest with Fenrir to ensure no pedestrian would see you.
>>
>>5176149
“Before I go, I do hope you’ll forgive my sister.”

You pause, a sudden but needed talk about the elephant in the room.

“Your sister cut off my arm and beat the shit out of me!” You said with a furious glower. “Give me one good reason why I should.”

“In that tournament, you were set with the most ferocious warriors for a reason. If you managed to not forfeit the gods of the pantheon would take this as a testament to your iron will. That is how your predecessor died after all.”

You clasp your hands to your face, breathing in deeply.

“That’s the whole fucking reason I almost died? Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME! THAT'S THE WHOLE FUCKING REASON?”

Fenrir nodded.

“Jesus ass-fucking christ what is with every gods in every fucking culture that they do things in the most ROUNDABOUT WAY FUCK! CAN'T THE JUST BE UPFRONT AND HONEST WITH ME?”

“You’ll find no answers from me. The ways of the gods are often… convoluted.” Fenrir said.

“God damn those stupid cunts, I seriously need to stay away from them.” You said with fuming anger. “That’s it, I’m going to Tijuana to blow off some steam.”

You first materialized a door back to a location Fenrir asked for. Before he left a fox appeared out of nowhere, with a talisman on its head. A familiar, but certainly not from a god.

“I smelled no scent of a god from that fox.” Fenrir confirmed.

The fox bowed, it would be so cute if it weren’t for the fact that it was someone’s familiar.

“Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a priest of Inari Okami-sama. The gods have sent me to relay a message.” The fox said. “They wish to invite you to their home, as an apology.”

The voice was that of a middle aged man. Should you go?

>Well… it’s an apology. How bad can it be?
>“No. I’m done with involving myself with any gods from now on. I’m done with this business and I’m never showing myself to them again. Tell them they’re never going to regain my trust ever again.”

Inari was nice when we met her, but be prepared to escape at a moments notice.
>>
>>5176155
>“No. I’m done with involving myself with any gods from now on. I’m done with this business and I’m never showing myself to them again. Tell them they’re never going to regain my trust ever again.”
They literally had our arm cut off and then tried to manipulate us they can go fuck themselves, I'd only consider it if they were able to get our arm back.
>>
>>5176202
Support, maybe ask if she can do something about our arm.
>>
>>5176155

>“No. I’m done with involving myself with any gods from now on. I’m done with this business and I’m never showing myself to them again. Tell them they’re never going to regain my trust ever again.”
If the gods want to apologize, they should come themselves, and kneel in forgiveness. But I think they will never do that (they are GODS after all, they only obey power and authority).
>>
>Well… it’s an apology. How bad can it be?
So long those japanese gods arent in cahoots with the greeks its fine. Maybe start forgiving/working with everyone that isnt forcing shit on her while still for now enjoying a nice vacation or something? idk
>>
>>5176155
>Tell her to shove her invitation up her ass. You aren't going to make any permanent statements, because forever is a LONG fucking time, but you are not willing to go anywhere near the gods. If they want to show they've changed, they can demonstrate it indirectly, through the world around them. Show, don't tell, especially since the Word of the Gods means so little these days.

Come on anons, Inari was one of the goddesses that was actually nice to us. She literally came up and gave us sake, and judging from her reaction to her friend being brutalized, I don't think she's gonna be too bad.

Also, let's be kind to QM and actually take the bait this time.

I mean we went to japan and now *The lady who basically owns the land* is asking to show up. I think the inviter is going to be pissed.

>>5168800
On another note I thought you wanted to see the Japanese gods as well.
>>
>>5176635
I do, but they were in on the plan that lead to getting our arm cut off and an attempt to manipulate us, you don't just go along with a plan that leads to someone getting their arm chopped off and an attempt at manipulation then expect it to be all fine with them when you leave after it's already been done, now I don't remember if Inari specifically was in on it but her fox messenger said "The Gods" and "They wish to invite you to their home" so it's likely not just Inari inviting us but Amaterasu as well, Amaterasu said she was going to teach us how to be a "proper Goddess" so I'm not feeling too good about that, if it ends up as a tie I'll switch my vote though.
>>
>>5176667
She was in on the plan yes, but she did take our side and shielded us with a bunch of foxes when the others started arguing. Based on what I read she was probably skeptical about it(or not, we don't know). At least before we chimped out and beat the shit out of zeus, which convinced everyone that the plan apparently worked. As for the teaching bit... Fenrir did explain what it might be about, and while we have a veritable fountain of knowledge with us known as the Internet, not everything is on it. So we still have stuff we could learn. Bottom line we can hear them out and maybe ask if they can do something about our arm, if it isn't up to our standards we could just fuck off. What are they gonna do? Chain us? We can literally turn into a gas, and if somebody tries to burn us...Well unless it's an absolutely ridiculous amount of heat and we can't turn into ionized gases we should be pretty resistant to it. Let's not burn bridges whenever the opportunity presents itself, but we should stay on our toes.

>>5176698
Fair enough, I don't want the not talking to Gods be a permanent thing and I do want to get our arm back so I'll go for it.

Well… it’s an apology. How bad can it be? Though Fenrir was slightly against the accepting the apology, he begrudgingly went back home. You conceal a compact flash grenades for safe keeping incase they were lying. After a few minutes later you see something above, brightly lit yet not at the same time. Floating in air yet walking as if there was a road in air.

“Can’t they just come down and give me a ride?”

The fox shook its head.

“There are traditions, my lady.”

You roll your eyes at the comment.

It was similar to Okami’s procession, but much more majestic and fancier. You saw a carriage of gold and cardinal, engraved on each side was the sun with two dragons flying across. This time, human look alike servants carried the lanterns, some were dressed in some traditional clothes and others wore a straw hat that covered their face. You reckon the procession was a mile long. You wondered how they were going to land in an area where there was no flat land to descend on.

It was then you saw a flocks of cros flying in a spiral, foming a stair. You look at the fox confusedly which gestured you to step on.

“I must go now, but please have a safe trip.”

“Safe, right.”

You eventually climb on to the carriage, thinking that a airplane or a hot air balloon would have been a better option than whatever this could be called. But you admitted the ride was pleasant, and the scene of the brightly lit city was a nice sight.

Everything we're seeing seems to indicate that the old gods just simply aren't changing, they're not improving or adapting they're just trying to do things exactly as they always have. Humans though they've changed they're always changing and developing and we're a part of that
>>
>>5178713
atleast mutual annihilation works quite well
>>
You know, I wonder what Inari actually thinks of Humanity nowadays, being a goddess of agriculture, industry, smithing, prosperity, success, foxes and supposedly being a protector of warriors as well among other things. Not only are all of her various domains very relevant nowadays, what with several of those being severely expanded since then, but she's still being worshipped in modern times and one third of Japan's shrines are dedicated to her.
>>
>>5179080
That's a question we can ask her in person since we are going to meet the Japanese pantheon, though probably in private since I'm not shure how the other gods would react with one of them being flaunted as a major worship in front of the other gods, especially someone how was a major player in the olden days that in our current times isn't worshiped as much

The glowing city, made by men not gods. You think about how far humanity has gone, and how proud you are of them. From the lowliest war mongering people to… well they were still war mongering people only that they knew it was bad and it only happened to be the leaders. But still, you were proud of of them. A glitter city… they may not be your people per say, but in a way they were your children and they were your parents. Your origin was still confusing to you. Were you born from the internet? A naturally occurred Pandora? Many questions were left unanswered.

In your unceasing wondering you realize a layer of mist covered the carriage, then a light begin to peek in. Then the palace came into view. A Japanese styled palace, an appearance of a Himeji castle hundred times bigger. You hear the drunken revelry and music flowing in so elegantly. Clouds were floating so close and you can just see the grandness of the palace, from closer look the palace was like a fortress, yet still maintained its elegance. Inside the carriage you see a path made for you. From almost nowhere a pine board bridge painted in red stretched far and far, with each side servants bowed.

You exit the carriage and take a step on the bridge. Suddenly, from behind, a human-lookalike servant followed you, holding up a bright red wagasa. Ahead of you were more servants forming with lanterns and… spring water, splashing ahead as they walked forward. Friggin weirdos… You keep on walking until you end up to a giant red gate, with the same golden engravings.

“Announcing, the arrival of Goddess Arpanet!” The man ahead of you declared.

Then the gate opened. More procession greets you, a grander one that you admitted it was beautiful. By now you were just sick of processions. Then you see a beautiful woman, but you couldn’t be amazed. It was her, Amaterasu, the bitch that was in Zeus’s plan.

“You have finally arrived, welcome.” Amaterasu said. “Follow me, I shall guide you to your quarters. Then the feast shall began.”

You follow Amaterasu into the palace.

“I am elated that you have accepted my invitation. I assure you that there will be no deception, this is will be a proper introduction to my pantheon, I hope you will feel at ease here.” Amaterasu said. “How have you been? I heard some gods tried to seek you out but were unable to find you, it’s no good wandering alone, you are a goddess after all. You cannot simply walk with humanity, even if you tried to hide, if that’s how you concealed yourself.”

Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt. Besides, traveling as a human was just one of many options you could travel anyways. Let her have this, you have other tricks up your sleeves. Not to mention, you know she’s a pragmatist. You still remembered when she chided Fuck Face McGee Zeus for his dumbassery. Frankly, her, Ra, and Dagda were ok gods. It’s just the Olympians that you didn’t like… well save for Artemis and Haphaestus.

“You gods don’t really look at humanity at much do you? I traveled all around but I haven’t been bothered by god by using human methods of traveling.” You said.

“And what would that be?”

You shrug.

“Figure it out yourself. I’m already telling you how I did it out of trust, that’s all I’ll give you.”

“Of course.” Amaterasu said elegantly.

You follow Amaterasu to a house sized room, a bed that’s too big for a regular sized human, and so much space that you could make a range out of. All lathered in Japanese styled luxury. More servants arrive with elegantly weaved cloths. Some carried ornamental hair pieces, a frightening amount. Two servants came with combs and gold jars of white powder.

“Uh… what the hell are these?” You asked with visible confusion.

“Why ,you didn’t think you’d be galavanting in my home without the proper attire did you?” Amaterasu said.

Then began the longest dress up in your life. Amaterasu spend ungodly hours choosing the proper clothes down to the cloth layer for your clothes. The servants combed your hair, giggling amongst themselves as the one in front of you giving a light powder on your face. You feel a slender hand on your shoulder.

“It looks quite endearing on you. How do you like it?”

“It’s not bad.” You said with a shrug.

“I’m glad.”

The servants surrounding you helped you on your feet, by now you were dressed in six layers of kimono with hair clips that felt like a stone was attached to your head. Now you and Amaterasu walked toward the hall of banquets, where they waited for your arrival for the party to begin.

“Is this really necessary?”

“Hush, you are fine and this is a proper way a goddess should be. Elegant, graceful, with powerful femininity.”

“Uh huh…”

You were close to the gate until you saw a god angrily backhanding a servant, causing the food to fly and the plate to shatter. What a temper he has… but no gods were seeming to stop him. In the scene, you saw Inari Okami, with a restrained frown, heavy with silence that would leak if it would continue. Oh, he’s not done with the servant yet.

“That idiot brother of mine… just stay here and let him vent his anger. You can do your introduction then.” Amaterasu said.

But this, more than anything else, has convinced me that our time among the Shinto Gods is temporary.

I think this is Susanoo,he will probably think we're a goddess of pestilence, what with our title. Mostly because Susanoo is somewhat associated with just that if I remember well. Regardless, if he becomes hostile, we push the servant away to avoid accidentally hurting them with what we're going to transform in. Remember anons, we can turn into a gas of our choosing, we can do more than just choke people...

You run over to and stand between the god and the servant. You never intended to be a Japanese god, so you have no reason to adhere to their ways. The god looked at you with such fury, and just as he raised his fist you hear a thunderous shout.

“SUSANOO!”

Even you flinched and you weren’t even guilty of it. You see a red aura flare wildly around Amaterasu, yet the rage did nto show on her face. On Susanoo’s face however, he showed unadulterated fear. He slowly lowered his hand as he kept his eyes on Amaterasu.

“Brother. You are raising your hand at our guest.” Amaterasu said. “And you, please do not put yourself in such trouble. I do not wish to explain to Haphaestus-san why his precious daughter was harmed.”

“I’m not Pandora and I’m not his daughter.” You said with an obviously made agitation. “What, I’m supposed to just let that poor girl get killed for no reason?”

“They’re only servants. You will learn that they are insignificant.” Amaterasu said. “Susanoo does this often and the servants are not killed.”

“So what? That doesn’t make it ok!”

“They’re servants. Now that this scene is ruined, we must do it again. The ceremony needs to be done again.”

You shut your mouth and follow Amaterasu. There, you see the clear distinction of servants and gods. Some are just outright ignoring the issue or some looked… afraid to speak out. You did know that Asians do have a collective mindset, maybe that’s why. Who knows?

“You call yourselves god but so far what the majority I’ve dealt with are petty jackasses. Apollo waws made at me for roasting his nymph then got all uppity. Zeus had his whole plan and shit. And you were in on this too! If this is part of learning to be a ‘goddess’ I’m out.”

You took off the layers and was satisfied once you materialized into clothes you can actually breathe in. Every god looked at you. Some with pure disgust and fury, some with fear, others admiringly gazed at you, the rest tried to be inconspiscuous. You saw Inari Okami, shocked more than anything at the situation, but you saw no hate or anything negative.

“Child, I ask you to stay. While I understand why you think this is not the best representation of us. I am telling you that this is different. I implore you to stay.”

“I’m the Goddess of Internet. Every individual have their own worth and if there’s one thing I hate is stuck up faggots that do whatever the fuck he wants cause he happens to be better. I’m not playing that game.”

You materialize the door and leave for your home. The dark void of the internet, it was certainly a great place to be. A familiar darkness with bright windows to different world. Or you would have, had it not for Okami grabbing your hand, squeezing it tightly with a desperate look in her eyes.

“Amaterasu-sama. How about I show her around the palace? Arpanet-san is not a goddess that is used to the old custom or its procedures. If you will allow me, I will represent your pantheon.”

“Granted. Well, Arpanet?”

While we're at it, have any of you anons thought of how we could handle the Malice? It's not going to stay put forever you know.
>>
>>5182957
As long as we follow Pandora's advice and don't open it up and take power from it then I think we can ignore it, otherwise it's more of a we'll cross that bridge when we get there type of situation.
>>
>>5182963
By caring, even, and especially, when it hurts.

It is painful to care about people. That's why so many humans don't. It's simpler and easier not to care, and just do your own thing. I suspect that's the problem the Gods we've seen have run into.

So just give a shit when someone gets hurt. Don't ignore it. Pay attention, make sure people matter, big and small, rich or poor, good and evil.

Malice is the source of human suffering, from what I understand. So give a shit about people and feel sympathy towards their suffering. That's literally it.
>>
>>5182968
Well that sounds about right, good thing we intervened against that one God that was about to hit a servant.
>>
>>5182968
While I do agree... There's one small issue and its that the malice seems to seep out regardless of the gate, like when we beat the shit out of Zeus. This means chimping out in basically any manner carries that risk. This gate is not gonna hold it down, especially since it's gotten much stronger since then. What Pandora was doing was keeping it behind that gate, and the second the temptation grew too strong and she opened it, it just fucking disintegrated her. I think what we should do is try to build a resistance to it, gradually, until it becomes some sort of near immunity. Open the gate very slightly, let it trickle inside of us a little at a time and shut it down immediately, and we get used to it, control it, resist it's influence. If only so that if it does try something nasty eventually we can kick that overgrown tumor in the balls. The other thing with that plan, is that the myth of Pandora's box mentions something else at the bottom of it: Hope. I'm not sure if it's in there, but if it is it's probably square in the middle of that piece of shit or somewhere nearby, either way we'll have to dig through it if we want to access. Now THAT could help us counteract the effects. Of course, if we're going with that we're not doing it unprepared, we need people nearby to talk us down if the amount taken in is too much, or to restrain us if we go temporarily berserk. Maybe ask Fenrir to come over with chains or something.
>>
>>5183000
So yeah, instead of locking it in, we openly confront it, I think mastering it could work as a more permanent solution than risking a breach. I'm not going to forgive the gods for taking our arm and beating us to pulp...But they have a point where it concerns willpower, and now that we actually know that the malice is gonna try to affect us we can train up our tolerance when we have the chance. Though, as I've said, preferably not unsupervised.
>>
>>5183064
>>5167104
We should probably not open it at all.
>>
>>5183345
We're the goddess of the internet, there's no way whatever composes the malice is anything worse than what we experience on a daily basis.
>>
>>5183389
Reading about horrors and experiencing them are n. Ot the same. It's easy to judge a soldier when you've never stared across open terrain at hateful eyes with the gunfire of ten minutes ago still ringing in your ears and the blood of your brothers filling air.
>>
>>5183754
It's not the same, true, but it's close enough.
With all the existing recordings of atrocities and experiences of the various facets of humanity, I'd say we have a very good idea of how those experiences would invigorate ourselves when exposed to them.
>>
>>5183754
Then exposing ourselves to it might make us more likely to sympathize with them. We're the goddess of Humanity, that includes everyone from the average tax payer to the soldiers. In any case, we're already on the path to actually care about mortals considering the other gods apparently don't. We do need to remember that the Malice is also some kind of supernatural evil force, let's not put all the blame for human suffering on it, because as Loki has already stated it's spread thin by the ridiculous population of mankind and it isn't as bad as it could be. You don't need supernatural evil to do horrible shit like rape and brutalize each other, the gods are an example of that. If anything, the horrors we've done on earth added fuel to it, instead of the inverse. Or maybe it's a feedback loop, in any case there's a lot we don't know and we could benefit from at least observing it.
>>
>>5183772
>>5183793
That's a very optimistic view, and you seem quite excited about it, but I doubt many others will be quite so enthusiastic about willingly subjecting ourselves to the distilled essence of Suffering and Ill will after we have been warned quite explicitly about the dangers of doing so.
>>
>>5183985
Yeah it's very dangerous, I'll give you that. Though as I said it seems to seep out on its own anyway, so we'll have to deal with that issue eventually and I don't think the gate is really gonna hold something that big for long. If we're not using it, then at least "vaccinate" ourselves in some way, I just think learning how to control it might help us with that objective. Pandora did tell us that whatever the hell we were doing was keeping it at bay, or at least keeping it in a relatively passive state. So it's not like we don't have a potential option if it really comes down to it.
>>
>>5184096
The only time that it has come out so far was when we really got into insulting another Goddess during the tournament which was fixed by Hephaestus' amulet that he gave us, as long as we don't become some evil being and continue to be good we should be fine, and if it does start to leak out then we can ask Hephaestus for help, let's not jump the gun by opening the door even a little and listen to Pandora's advice of keeping it closed.
>>
>>5184099
You're forgetting the part where we remembered our early memories thanks to Loki and the part where we beat up Zeus, so it's a little more active than that. The amulet did save our asses but I frankly wouldn't rely on it, which is why I'm suggesting this so we don't end up shattered like Pandora because we can't handle the Malice. But Hephaestus knows his stuff so we could ask him about it, maybe after we're done with our business in Japan because we DO need some plans for the future, and this could be part of it.
>>
>>5184114
Oops looked back and I did forget those parts, but I still feel that we shouldn't open the door at all as per Pandora's advice, looking into ways to suppress it through Hephaestus or otherwise is a good idea though and I'm up for it after we're done with Japan and if there's no other issues that need dealing with, quick note that we did have a 2 month time skip after the end of the tournament arc and we don't know if the malice seeped through at any time during that time skip, I'm gonna assume that it hasn't seeped through during the time skip and that it only pops up whenever we get really angry, so as long as we avoid anger and other negative emotions we should be okay until a more permanent solution is found.
>>
>>5184135
>Avoid anger and other negative emotions
I don't think we really can, we still haven't gotten over the loss of our arm and the fact that the gods shat all over us...and frankly I'm not interested in playing a pacifist that has to hide from anything bad, personally.
Speaking of our arm, the malice is always an option there if we can't get our arm back here. Sure the resulting arm is probably gonna end up heavily weaponized with a possible sentience and a grudge towards Hel, but I'll take that over a human prosthetic that cannot even begin to keep up with our godly body.
Besides...where's the fun in being Pandora's box if we don't ever open? As I mentioned, there might be some good stuff in there that can help us other than the giant tumor.
>>
On an unrelated note, thoughts on potentially creating our own servants in the future? I mean all the gods have them so we should too.
>>
>>5184181
Could be nice. Though we'll have to be careful with the question of free will and all that. What did you have in mind?
>>
>>5183772
I am impressed by your ability to disregard my warnings, worries, and concerns, and the evidence they are based from, as 'acceptable risks,' and as such I shall be more explicit.

You are a fucking idiot for thinking there is a safe and easy method to draw on Malice on a regular basis, and that it won't somehow force us into committing horrible actions and sending us into an inescapable spiral of corruption, suffering, and self loathing. Your idea is shit and you're a shitty person for thinking it has a chance of working. Any method by which we can safely draw on even the most minute amounts of malice will likely be the results of long, dangerous, and difficult study with Safe Malice being the only end goal. There are safer and easier paths to power. Any and all talk of using the Metaphysical Manifestation of All the World's Woes as a power up should be tabled until a method for doing so becomes self evident. Until that time, we should avoid any and all use of Malice, and instead focus all Malice-adjacent efforts towards containment and mitigation.
>>
>>5184243
Calm down anon, no need to get angry and I think you might have replied to the wrong guy.
I never said it was safe, which is why I suggested we don't do it unsupervised in the first place. With the quantities we'd be taking in, and if Shape of Wrath was any indication, I think the worst that could happen is that we end up seething a bit more, become more paranoid or even lustful. Is there a chance that we could go berserk or that our emotions are a little too strong for the moment? Yes, that's why we have to be careful and dealing with the emotional bullshit coming with it is literally the entire point of the idea. As I said, if we don't use it proper, at least "vaccinate" ourselves in a roundabout way, because while I don't want to demean Hephaestus' skill, the fact that the head deities and all of the war gods were kind of terrified of actually fighting us doesn't really reassure me and if our trinkets ever fail us we'll only have our mind to fall back on. If anybody can execute that plan it's probably the being literally born into it no?
And honestly, anon, while QM doesn't fuck around I don't think he'll make us go around raping people and committing genocide because we engaged with it a little.

You close your eyes tight, suck in the air then make the decision. Fuck it, Inari wasn’t that bad. You nod and hold your sigh. You could at least trust her, though you weren’t sure if that trust was one hundred percent guaranteed. Then again, having your safety in danger was nothing new.

“Fine.” You said tiredly. “But I am not wearing that smashed layers.”

“As you wish.” Amaterasu said.

You hear Amaterasu announcing the feast and the gods cheering as you left. In the halls you see the servants bow whenever you come across them. The foxes followed Inari, some floating up some happily prancing on the hallways.

“Thank you. I know my kins can be… crude at times. I hope you know not all of us are like this.”

“Yeah well most gods I’ve met are crude. What’s Susanoo’s deal?”

Inari shook her head.

“Please understand I can’t make such comments.” Inari said.

“Right…” You said. “By the way, you think anyone in the pantheon can take care of this?”

You raise your prosthetic arm and take it off, as the wires pop off the foxes recoiled and Inari’s eyes widened.

“I thought your arm grew back, that’s… a prosthetic. It’s my first time seeing one, I saw many humans with one in my temple.” Inari said.

“You think you know someone that can take care of it?”

Inari rubbed her chin.

“There are ways, but the limb you lost cannot be replicated but it can be made to look like what you lost.” Inari said. “There are not many that can perform such a task. Not my kins.”

“Then who can?”

“There are three that I know. Though I’m afraid your chance is rather… low. Because you are not our kin, Amaterasu will not allow it. The healing ability of the gods are closely kept, only the gods of their pantheon can access them.” Inari said apologetically. “I’m afraid to say it, but your best bet is…”

Your roll your eyes.

“Let me guess, the Olympians?”

Inari nodded.

Well shit, I guess we can tell the Olympians that we'll consider talking to them if they can get our arm back, just not Zeus though.
>>5184461
Hey man if you want to fuck with the malice then you can vote for it when it comes up, but I'll be voting against doing anything with it at all, I don't like the idea of possible sudden personality shifts or becoming some sort of edgelord full of evil.
>>
>>5184226
Mostly I want them to behave like support staff for us or agents we can deploy to enact our will. As for what they may look like? Dragons, robots, whatever the fuck comes to mind really. Though making biblically accurate Seraphs is pretty funny
>>5184461
I do not believe the malice is just going to sit there indefinitely and I agree we should make up some contingencies
>>5184739
>You end up in a beautiful garden, and an asian styled gazebo
I refuse to meet with the Olympians
>>5184753
How about making a new ‘container’ to place a small bit of the malice in to lessen our burden?
>>
>>5184764
The container idea sounds good, in fact iirc one of the ideas by the Gods of the various pantheons to contain the evils of humanity was a container of some sort, and then Zeus stepped in and offered to try and contain it using Pandora instead.
>>
>>5184779
I was planning on mixing this with my servant idea. Think of it as an autonomous container with a thought process and defensive capabilities
>>
>>5184739
>You end up in a beautiful garden, and an asian styled gazebo
I'm willing to meet with good old Hephaestus, but I'm pretty hesitant about meeting the rest of them.
>>5184753
>I don't like the idea of possible sudden personality shifts or becoming some sort of edgelord full of evil
Glad we agree on something, because I don't want to be an edgelord either, and we won't be if we're not a retard about it. Shape of Wrath would've given us the ability to make weapons that can seriously fuck up the gods, and it would've explicitly not been enough to take a hold of us. If that much malice isn't enough to fuck us up, then whatever we grab won't be. We won't turn into Shadow just by poking it.
Besides, we already decided to be benevolent, and it's not because that power is supposed to be evil that we have to be evil, or even that we have to be a bitch as well, we don't have to listen to its every whim and as I told you, Pandora told us that whatever the fuck we were doing kept it at bay, so I wouldn't worry about sudden personality shifts, especially when we'll be able to straight up recognize when it's trying something.

How about this then? We do the experiment in a controlled environment, we grab an amount that isn't enough to fuck us up, and then we try to adapt to it. If it's too corruptive, we shove it back behind the gate and wield it shut until we have a more permanent solution. If it works out... Well we'll have gained something. At least it's worth giving it a shot because as I said, we won't instantly turn into a dark lady just by poking it.

>>5184780
I would agree with making a container to place a small portion of it, but do you want to weaponize the servant or do you just want to make a smaller Pandora?
>>
>>5184791
If we got Fenrir and Hephaestus with us when doing the experiment then I'd agree to it, they've both proven to be trustworthy so far and should be able to deal with anything bad that happens.
Regarding the Olympians if they get us our arm back then I think we could at least give them a chance for forgiveness, some of the nicer ones at least, but definitely not Zeus who came up with the plan that resulted in our arm getting chopped off and an attempt at manipulation in the first place, he should be avoided at all costs.
>>
>>5184739
>You end up in a beautiful garden, and an asian styled gazebo

Am I the only guy who is wondering why Arpanet is looking to regrow the arm and ignore the fact it was only lopped of and wasn't incinerated or destroyed or did I miss some post
Because it should still exist, and Arpanet should be able to reattach it with some effort or did some mutt walk into the arena while every one was knockout and eat the arm
>>
>>5184818
I've been looking towards finding the actual arm and getting it reattached, it's what I've meant when saying "get our arm back", I assume the Olympians have it stored somewhere.
>>
>>5184791
we can attempt to do both, though first I want to see if we can create a functional servant. If we do that then we can proceed to create a strong container before the creation of a weaponized one.
>>5184816
Speaking of experimenting with Hephaestus, we should really learn how to create those magical and mythical weapons that the gods have.
>>
>>5184791
>We won't turn into Shadow just by poking it.
See, the thing is, we could. Malice seems like exactly the sort of 'Touch it and instantly lose' bullshit that actually exists in the real world. Hell, there are concepts that can actually fuck with your head if you look too deep into them.

Roko's basilisk, for example, the idea that anyone who does not aid in the ascension of an AI will be retroactively forced to suffer punishment from that AI once it finally does ascend.

Sometimes, there IS no amount that won't fuck you up beyond recovery. You can't build an immunity to radiation, or arsenic. You can't vaccinate yourself again hammer directly to the skull.

Welding the gate shut should be our first solution, finding something more permanent our second. We have been told, in no uncertain terms, to not accept any amount of Corruptive Malice. So let's just Not Do That.

Who knows, maybe the thing that killed Pandora was that she fucked around with Malice, in what she believed was a safe and controlled manner, and ended up in the coveted 'Found Out' stage.
>>
>>5184834
Yeah that's a good idea, Inari is also a blacksmith so we could ask her as well...like maybe right now

>>5184849
> 'Touch it and instantly lose'
Except for literally every part where it showed it's ugly face and almost took us over if it wasn't for Hephaestus' necklace, and the part where we beat up Zeus. By that logic we are already fucked then, but judging from the fact that we aren't a raving lunatic yet I think it's safe to assume that the effects are reversible.

>maybe the thing that killed Pandora was that she fucked around with Malice
From what I can gather, she essentially threw herself in the human world right before opening the gate in an effort to save Olympus, which instantly shattered her. You might tell me that this is the exact reason why we shouldn't do that except for the fact that Shape of Wrath is a thing. So clearly we can open the gate safely, that or we're more resilient than she was. There is also the small issue that Pandora didn't want to worry anybody and never actually talked about it, ergo, nothing was ever done about it, for several centuries. So that is one lesson we can learn from that.

You end up in a beautiful garden, and an asian styled gazebo. You follow Amaterasu to sit inside, and a line of servants arrive, setting a small tea ceremony as the others set many types of Japanese snacks. Some good, some meh, you just preferred simpler stuff. You see Amaterasu began a long process of the tea ceremony. While it did look graceful, you just wanted you tea, hell, water was fine too.

Inari slowly grinded the powder then used a whooden whisk. Her movements were calculated, and not a single bit was wasted as she moved. It was like watching a mechanical doll move, albeit not without the awkward automaton movement you see. You drink the tea she made for you, it was bitter but you could handle it.

“How have you been?” Inari said.

“Well, I guess. I traveled around the world and stuff. It was pretty fun.”

“But why? You are a goddess, you should not interact with humans that much, even if you are related to the Olympians.”

“I’m the Goddess of Internet which kind of makes me the Goddess of Humanity. I don’t know, it’s just nice to be around them.”

The tea was fine, a bit bitter but it went well with the sweetness. The sound that was drowned by the revelry was now present, you hear the gentle sound of the rustling trees. Though Inari’s sharp gaze ruined the mood.

“I have my shrines upon me, but I rarely do I visit the people. We are divinity, Arpanet-san. Humanity must not know about our existence, the best we can do is watch and guide them with an invisible hand.”

“But why?”

“That is simply how it is. The humans have changed, if we reveal ourselves that will do nothing but throw humanity in chaos. As goddess of humanity you have seen what religion can do have you not?”

You remained calm.

“So did political ideology.” You said.

“That is irrelevant.” Inari said coldly. “Humans are unpredictable and volatile. If the gods reveal themselves everything the humans have believed will crumble. That is why we guide humanity…. Though it has been a long time since we have.”

“So the natural accidents aren’t the gods fault?” You said.

“That’s only to keep them in check, to remind them they are not the masters of their world.” Inari said indifferently. “The humans that died either reborn or stay in their respective world. Those who are in limbo are cycled back in.”

“Then that’s a lot of cycling.” You said. “Not many believed in the pantheons.”

“I know.” Inari said dissapointedly. “But we do not need their worship. They do not know what we do for them.”

You ask for a bottle of sake from one of the servants. Inari wasn’t fond of it, it looked like. But, she did share a cup with you. The entertainment arrived as well, as a group of servants began playing music you take another sip from the small cup.

“How do you like it?” Inari said. “While having sake after tea is… strange I am proud to say it’s of the highest quality.”

“It’s good, but I wish it was stronger.” You said.

“Do you drink for the sake of drunken revelry?”

“Do you not?”

Inari shrugged.

“It always depends, I like the process of the creation than drinking it.” Inari said happily. “I speak with Dionysus-san once a decade or so. His wine is quite something.”

“Do you talk to other Olympians other than Dionysus?

Inari took a swig this time, unlike the gentle sip.

“Yes, Amaterasu-sama doesn’t want us to speak with the Olympians. I’m a special exception since I am a relevant god to the humans.” Inari said. “Though other Olympians are…”

“Assholes? Dicks? Sons of bitches?”

Inari shook her head.

“I will not add a comment on your questions. They are people of good being, why don’t you visit Olympus?” Inari said. “Surely you want to see your father?”

“Haphaestus isn’t really my dad…”

“Of course, forgive my mistake.” Inari said politely.

“Besides, how am I supposed to contact them?”

“Your best bet would be-

>“Wander the forests where the deers are, the more rural it is the better chance you will find Artemis. But I’m afraid she is too elusive to find so easily. It may take days until she even rest between her hunts”
>“Travel to Mount Olympus, you can find Haphaestus but… you may be found by Zeus as well. But you will reach there the fastest.”
>“-to seek a place of death. Then you will find either Ares of a servant of Hades. Depending on where you go.”

Hey anons, I think this will be it. I had the qst archived. I need a break.

So basically after counting the vote this thread is over. Will I continue this qst? I don't know... I want to go back to Parchment and Bolters. I want to restart that story.

I hope you do continue this quest, it's been fun so far.

We wanted to see Hephaestus, so let's do it. Hoping we'll get a bit more out of this, pretty sure we're gonna get a bit drunk before we get out of there.

I hope you continue as well, I've been having fun so far and look forward to whatever you may have in store for us. You do you QM, worst you can do is rush and force it when you don't feel like it.

I'm gonna change my vote to this, mainly because I think she can lead us to Hephaestus anyway. There might also be a way to find her more easily if we give a call to Fenrir and it would tie in with our plans with Hephaestus since apparently the gods didn't recognize him at the tournament and it would give him an excuse to fuck off from Asgard if he's into that kind of thing. Still very risky though.

As for Inari... Once she's drunk enough, I want to ask her what she thinks would actually happen were divinity to actually reveal itself. No not just "Chaos", give me the fucking details. While Humanity is indeed unpredictable, there are things you can predict, such as one fact that some may not think too deeply about with a "broken masquerade" kind of thing, which is that life goes on. Sure the aliens/magic/gods exist, but what of it? You still have a job don't you? A family? Friends? A life? Your responsibilities don't spontaneously disappear because of that event. Not saying things won't change, but most people will just go about their day I think.

Hades is arguably one of the nicest Greek gods and probably the one closest to humanity as he has to deal with us each day
