The One Above The Heavens Chapter 6
🕑 Added 2024-02-19 00:43:35 +0000 UTC"Youuuuu! Stupidly stupidest stupid! Why would you fight Verethragna!?" Mommy dearest Pandora demanded, while pinching and pulling my cheeks to the sides.
It was odd honestly... The alien love of a mother Pandora truly had for me as her bastard child was true and unmistakable even though I did not share her blood.
So knowing she truly loved and cared for me, and that no one could see this, I allowed Pandora to punish me by pulling my cheeks around. And she knew I was being patient as she snorted and turned away from me with her head turned up and to the side with her eyes closed.
Giving the most adorable tsundere reaction. But once again I didn't fault her and instead just gave Pandora a gentle hug around her thin shoulders as I whispered into her head as she was so much shorter than me. "Oh mother mine... Thank you for worrying about me."
She shuddered hearing my words and she looked up to the side towards me as she was... A legal loli unfortunatly so she was stuck in the form of a young teenager at best. But she still looked up at me with wide eyes making me smile as I squeezed her shoulders in our hug. "I am whale and hearty Pandora, I kicked Verethragna's ass because I am your favorite son and going to be the strongest Campione!"
I said all that earnestly and even sticking my tongue at her to let her know I was being this goofy to mess with her.
But she didn't know I was entirely joking, as from her perspective, my enchanted robe of the Sage Emperor was untainted by dust, and my own form had healed from any injuries I had from the residual healing energies from the pill I took previously.
Pandora took a deep breath and snorted out adorably. "Hmph! As it should be!" Her eyes stared up at me as she made some distance to break apart the hug and she then poked me in the chest with her saying 'fiercely' more like adorably.
"You aren't allowed to lose then!" And more softly she said with some deep emotion in her voice. "As after all... I hate to see my children dying doing stupid things."
I remained silent at that and after a moment Pandora clapped her hands across her cheeks to get herself back in the game as she said excitedly. "Alright! It's time for you to get Verethragna's domain of the Nine Aspects!"
She had me lay down and then she moved my head into her lap so she could work at moving the essence and karma of Verethragna's Heretic God's Domain of those Nine Aspects as that was thankfully all the domains he had as the Persian Wargod.
We didn't really get to speak more as she worked as she was deep in chanting in some cursed, yet divine tongue as she intertwined the essence of Verethragna into my own to make it take on my own shape. As all Campione and Heretic gods had different expressions of a Domain or Authority.
As Godou damn near always used his Aspects as internal reinforcement besides the Warrior Aspect and summoning the god-killing blades while even using multiple aspects at once to boost him. But on the other end, Verethragna could only use multiple aspects at once should he expel the authority into its beast form to ride it as a mount or to use it as a remote weapon.
Like with how he launched the damned White Stallion like a nuclear missile into my Yang Seal.
"There you go." Pandora said rather tiredly and I realized the foggy surroundings were darkening as my connection to the underworld was being strained with Pandora smiling wryly as she patted my head softly. "Now you be careful... And I can't believe I am saying this, but I don't want to see you here again so soon you hear me Jake Bariss!"
And as my connection to my adoptive mother dimmed I couldn't help but give her a conniption as I left. "Hehe... I will see you in a few days Mom, as after all. Angra Mainyu is squatting in my kingdom."
Pandora's face went stiff and just as her hand reached for my cheek again to give me a real punishment this time as her eyes inflamed with righteous anger. I woke up with a deep breath with the sounds of birds gracing my ears while the twilight light began to fade into night.
'I have been asleep for a good while.' I thought and then my lips twitched as I felt a soft feminine hand gently cup my cheek to tilt my head upwards. And I realized that my head was resting against the chest of Erica Blandelli as she had moved us so she could prop my unconscious form agaisnt her chest so that I would be sitting upright and not in the dirt as much. "So... Jake Bariss, have I proven my worth yet?" She asked proudly as she looked down at me with her beautiful blue eyes.
Smiling I reached back with her eyes closing naturally as I pulled her down to give me a quick kiss in answer across my lips though I broke the contact. As it felt weird to be held with the woman behind me and kissing me from above.
But as the kiss broke apart, even the kiss breaking apart didn't make Erica lose her proud... Almost smug smile she worn at some kind of mental victory, but either way I shifted and Erica's eyes widened as she yelped as I lifted Erica and spun her around so she was sitting partly in my lap with my Sage Robe covered back hitting the soft pile of dirt she was previously sitting on as I held Erica agaisnt me for a minute.
And for a minute we shared a long silence before I said softly. "Thank you Erica. There was a good chance I could have lost that fight with him resurrecting himself to his peak state."
Erica looked at me with some surprise before her relaxed and said teasingly. "Oh, keep praising me, darling. This makes me feel all squeamish inside hearing the great Campione praising this lowly mortal."
I rolled my eyes knowing she was getting back at me slightly for the regal and distant way I treated her and Rin but unlike Pandora... I wasn't going to take her sass!
"Hey!" She cried out as I struck her in the woman's secret weak spot giving a firm poke to her side making her squirm trying to get out of my arm.
"Behave, princess," I said jokingly but she made me go still as she held my hands within her own and her voice came out softly and with temptation.
"No... I am a Queen, not a princess, unless you plan to let go wild and free to find a new love after stealing a kiss from you?" Her words were a direct point to my status as an Emperor. Should I play distant right now she would be saying I didn't have any care for her and if she ever got with someone else, I as an Emperor would basically be getting cucked.
As for millennia, Emperor's had kept the women they were involved with in the Imperial Palace and to keep his image and pride as a man above all others... I wasn't even mad at her as I just found her candor to be delightful.
"Erica don't tease me so much," I said with a wry smile before I sighed and looked around at the devastation surrounding us and I said softly. "Alright, let me call Touma Amakasu to see what the real damage was to Fuyuki and tell him the battle is over."
Even though Erica was most definitely a tease, she knew this was important so she just shifted in place slightly so that even as her bountiful chest was pressed against my side, she wouldn't be in the way as I got my cell phone from out of my expanded bag.
A couple rings after I dialed his number he picked up quickly with him speaking in a clear rush. {My lord?}
I couldn't help a smile at his answer to the call and I answered with an even tone. "I pulled the Heretic God Verethragna into the countryside outside of Fuyuki. I obviously won, so you can allow my citizens to return to their homes."
Erica raised an eyebrow at how I said. 'My citizens.' but that's what they were so after a moment I heard him say. [Very well my lord... Do you need transport back into the city or anything else?]
I made a noise of thought and then smiled as I gave Erica a look and said. "No. I have a princess to give a princess carry back home. Forward any news on the Einzberns to me when you gain it though." I ordered and then with a click, I hung up on Touma as Erica gave me a gimlet look that almost had me giggle at her affronted expression.
After I put away my phone, I gave Erica a winning smile as she gave me as she pouted as I picked her up in a princess carry without her resisting actively. But as I held her and my feet left the ground as I used a Taoist spell to take to the air, she had to get the final word in.
Though it wasn't a sarcastic quip surprisingly. "Fine then. This is a service many female mages dream about haha." She joked at the end.
And her words made my lips twitch as I realized with Fate mage's obsession with keeping their mage lines powerful and basically doing eugenics to make sure their lines don't die out or interbreed... A Campione's addition to a bloodline would be an extremely potent thing.
The two of us swiftly flew back to Fuyuki city and as I put on a charm to push away attention to myself. I was glad to know that besides so minor damage from Verethragna's lightning going off, there wasn't too much damage to the city itself besides a couple of very old looking buildings that collapsed during the earthquake that happened from Verethragna's lightning meeting my Yang Seal.
'Hey... I didn't destroy the city. So I most definitely call that a win for sure.' I said strongly but as we came closer to the Matou mansion Erica giggled as she gave me a little poke in the chest as she said with a sense of actual incredulity. "Wow. You truly do believe yourself this people's ruler. Though, why here in Japan and not America or Britain where you are obviously from?"
I raised an eyebrow before I shrugged and said evenly as I landed on the ground and gently let Erica onto her feet with her shamelessly taking my arm against her chest. "America and Britain both have their own Campione along with magical organizations. Plus ruling America as an Emperor just kind of puts a weird taste, in my mouth you know?" I finished with a wry smile.
The blond beauty giggled and said with a hint of teasing in her voice. "Oh, so what happened to being the Emperor of both Heaven and Earth? Anyway, I agree Jake... I will have the Copper Black Cross begin moving their men and their holdings here to Japan. If you plan to build your Empire here."
I nodded proudly before I took a breath and said more seriously. "That is good Erica, I won't disappoint you all but as for your previous point... As you are well aware there is something very dangerous in South America, and I am well aware that I am not on its level remotely at this point."
Erica's face lost its teasing with her going pale slightly as she said quietly. "ORT... Type Oort Cloud. Even Vobahn and Luo Hao the two most combative Campione rightfully do not dare to fight the Apostle."
I nodded and seriously said with a weak smile. "So yeah... I am firmly staying the fuck away from South America where the sleeping world destroying is resting. No good reason to seek death in such a way."
Erica actually snorted and retorted. "A Campione acknowledging their actions are nothing but seeking death. Will the wonders ever end?"
I gave Erica a look and wondered if she needed some 'correction' but I tilted my head to the side as I felt Medusa's form dashing towards me and I watched her dive out of a window to elegantly land on her feet and then using her supernatural strength she dashed towards us and Erica before slowing down as she fell into a slower walk as she said more naturally. "Welcome back... And congratulations on your victory my lord."
I nodded and said with a softer smile. "Thank you for coming to check on me Medusa... Now let's get inside so I can reassure our allies that I am in fact alright. Also Erica is one of our own so no need to be so formal with her around."
Medusa gave Erica a 'look' from behind her visor before she hummed and said in her typical sensual draw. "Very well Jake. But there is important news I rushed over to tell you."
I raised an eyebrow as I mentally screamed at what else was going to fucking happen... Did Angra Mainyu decide to fart and poison half the city? Did big titty Wukong break out of her seal and go on a rampage hearing the Jade Emperor was here in the country. Or worse... Was Zeltretch or one of my siblings finally here to check me out?
But Medusa with a flat expression explained and my mental screaming died out with my face twitching in annoyance as she spoke. "Rin Tohsaka, realizing the city was under attack by a Heretic God, decided to summon a Servant with only Medea watching her in case the Servant would be needed to fight off the Heretic God on the off chance you did lose... And due to Medea, being near the summoning site she summoned Atalanta in the archer class."
Unbidden the mental picture of the green and gold-haired catgirl hit my mind and I sighed as Atalanta was going to be a troublesome Servant... As she actually had world defining wish to use the grail on, which was going to be a bitch to dissuade her from trying to make her make a wish on.
However, I could be wrong as this grail was horribly corrupted so perhaps it was possible she could be made to see reason that the grail couldn't be used. Either way, I sighed and shook my head as I said. "Alright. Let's go, I need to meet Atalanta and then get to work making some more pills in case I need to use them." I spoke as I walked with Erica happily holding my arm against her bosom while Medusa naturally fell in stride beside me.
-
Coming back inside the Matou manor I felt the mana signature of our new guest and I hummed before saying to Medusa. "Medusa, please tell Tohsaka and Atalanta to come meet me in the meeting room in ten minutes. I am going to catch a quick shower before meeting them though." I spoke with Medusa giving a nod of understanding with her walking away upstairs to the living quarters.
Erica then spoke as she also watched the Gorgon walk away with her hips swaying with each step up the stairs "Hmm, in that case, I must also retire to my room Jake. I have to make some phone calls and then I will need some rest after all this excitement."
I looked down at Erica at said with an easygoing smile. "Alright Erica, I will-" But before I could continue, Erica got on her tiptoes and I felt her ample bust pushing into my chest as she cupped my face gently as her lips met mine in a hungry kiss with my hands wrapping around her thin and tight waist and pulling her body flush against mine.
After a whole minute of making out with the Italian blond beauty, our lips smacked loudly as the kiss was broken with one of Erica's hands resting on my chest as she whispered huskily into my ear. "Now go be a great ruler, my lord." Her way of saying 'my lord' with a rolled R just tickled my manly instincts into wanting to press her down but she danced out of my arms with a smirk as she likewise strutted away with her purposefully giving her delightful hips a taunting swing and dance.
'Damn... Hate for her to leave, but you gotta love to watch her go.' I thought with a grumble before I ran my hand through my hair as I chuckled at how my life was so hectic now. "Alright... Time to go wash off the scent of battle before I go meet a catgirl. Fucking A what is my life now." I said incredulously even to myself.
After taking a quick but effective shower and inspecting my body to make sure there weren't any issues from inheriting Verethragna's 10 different Incarnation's Authority which thankfully there wasn't anything weird like a tattoo or anything.
I got cleaned up and put back on my Sage Robe which had repaired itself of any scrapes it had from my spiritual energy. Then I went to the meeting room where I could already feel Tohsaka and Atalanta were in the room.
Giving a knock to let them know I was coming in, I opened the door after a couple of moments and I looked directly at Tohsaka for a moment who quickly looked down with a flush as she squirmed in place to avoid my eye contact and then I looked at Atalanta who steadfastly met my eyes dauntless like any hero of note would.
Though there was no hiding the respectful wariness she looked at me with as she watched me with her feline eyes... And I couldn't help an inward smile as her eyes tightened as her tail behind her began elegantly rolling in a wave-like motion as she watched me like a predator reading to pounce as she realized I was far beyond her.
"I killed Verethragna the Persian War god... Rin Tohsaka, do you. Have anything to say for yourself?" I asked slowly as I stared directly at Atalanta. But as Rin made a noise to speak I held up a hand and said bluntly. "Shh... Your excuses are unwanted. No, now there remains a most pressing thing that is not your desire to follow your family's failed legacy."
I gave Rin a lazy look and my I held in a twitch seeing her submissive personality rising up as she flushed as she naturally couldn't go into a tsundere rage fit knowing I could literally make her into a smear on the wall... Even though I wouldn't actually do that at all.
No, far more likely was myself, bending her over and putting that 'vaunted' Tohsaka ass and thighs to the test in giving the tsundere some correction in a spanking.
"Atalanta. The grail is broken, and a wish cannot be made due to a literal god of evil itself having tainted the grail for more than a century... Has Medea already explained that to you?" I asked frankly and Atalanta's tail went ramrod straight as her feline eyes tightened on me into slits.
For a moment she just stared at me until she visibly took a breath and said bluntly. "Yes she has... And the fact that she was summoned in her witch form of after her becoming the Witch of Betrayel, means that I am well aware that she should not have been summoned by the grail under normal circumstances."
Atalanta wasn't done as she raised a hand up for her to take a breath and continue. "But... I still want to try, I want to-"
I cut her off flatly. "Atalanta... The grail is fucking broken, should you wish that all childen be safe and live a comfortable life. The grail would twist that wish into making every child simply dead so that they may never be born or come to any harm."
I leaned towards Atalanta and her lion ears went back on her head as I said seriously. "The grail cannot grant you, your wish Atalanta, give me your oath as the adopted daughter of Artemis and her huntress that you will not try to make a wish on the accursed thing."
"And if I refuse?" She said softly as her body tensed and I gave a glance to Rin who looked pale as my Campione essence was weighing down on the both of them and with that I looked back at Atalanta who looked down at Rin's command seals with her face going dark as she seemingly recalled that Rin could twist her mind and body into a pretsel should she wish to with those command seals.
But instead I smiled and with no shame at all. I said happily. "Then... I will incarnate you as a human with those adorable cat ears. Removing your place as an Archer Servant and then with your newfound living body, you can go become a mother or caretaker of a huge orphanage with my blessings as your Emperor."
Rin and Atalanta's face at my unorthodox removal of her as an obstacle was delightful but I spoke more seriously "Besides Atalanta... With how Aphrodite is running around the world currently as a broken Earth Goddess who lost control of most her domains. Along with Athena popping up, don't you want to at least see me humble the Greek gods who caused you and others so much pain?"
I was offering a carrot and a stick. On one hand I was bluntly telling her, get with the program or I will just smother you with the cries of orphaned children who need guidance and love. And on the other hand, I offered to also help her get some closure for how the Greek gods utterly fucked her over in life.
Then in a complete turn around Atalanta closed her eyes and then after a moment of thought she spoke seriously. "One million USD per month for me to operate a series of orphanages across Japan and I swear I will not touch the grail upon my Lady Artemis's name!"
I smiled and offered a hand as I said seriously. "I can have an account with fifteen million for this whole year by tomorrow."
Her strong but soft hands met mine in a firm handshake and I could hear Rin whine pitifully. "My Servant... My Servant sold me out to support a bunch of orphans!"

"Hey man I need 15Mil for this catgirl I saw." "Given that not 2 days ago you prevented 100Mil in damages and loss of human life, I'll take that deal if you stick around and keep doing whatever it is you are doing."

He’s a campione ‘nough said

He is a Campione. He can 'request' the money from any government or organization and they will happily give it.
Daniel Foley
Where's he getting the money from? Can't be easy to get 15 Million USD by the next day.
Iori Daemona Angel
Jakeeee, breed Rin! Give her something to take care of. Idle hands are the devil's workshop.
ZloGlaZ
So, will he go for a weak point 👉?
Azazyel
When you have the problems major weakness in mind... All you need is the right leverage to make that problem into a something that helps yourself instead
Azazyel
She hasn't realized that Rin and Sakura are shared orphans lmao
Laplase
Nice, this Jake seems to know just what do for his problems before they become problems.
ReadingShades
So Atalanta abandoned an orphan to save even more orphans... is it a problem of quantity vs quality? or is it that her instincts tell her that Rin needs a male authority figure's correction treatment and not mothering?
Ancalagon
Being rin is suffering lol
