Action, comdey, slice of life - all are 1

I can't exactly say that Velgrynd reads Hentai novels it won't feel natural. So I'll compromise and combine the top 2, she reads romance novels that have smuts or she likes smutty romance novels.

Hi so if you are a new reader, you can probably skip this arc since I feel that this is a useless arc. Long story short here is Rimuru shows possessiveness for Velgrynd and protectiveness for Lait from Chronos. 

It was a mistake to make this arc anyway.

*********************

As Argent and Velgrynd pass to the gate. They were met with trees, they were in a forest. They scanned their surroundings for any living beings.

Getting into contact with the world's inhabitants has always been a part of the expedition of new worlds. Judging if it is better to interact with them like the Roc universe or just let them be on their own like the lizard monster universe.

They then sensed thousands upon thousands of beings, tens of kilometers away from where they were.

"Say Argent... Aren't they, fighting?" Velgrynd said as she used her universal perception.

"It seems so, a lot of them are dying after all, let's go and watch. We'll hide for now, some of them seems to be stronger than Siren and Enki." Argent ran.

The two ran for less than half an hour and they reach their destination. There they saw different races fighting each other.

Two groups of people clashing into each other. A variety of races coming together. Each races are all in attendance on both sides. Making it not a battle of race.

Different types of spirit like beings lingered in the battlefield. From what can be asses, they each have different elements. From wind, water, forest, fire.

Using their gifts from the elements as weapons to defeat each other. From attacks like water, fire, and wind being thrown in the battlefield.

They weren't the only participants in the war.

Goat like men are also within their ranks. They have legs of goats, body and face of a person with horns.

"Now that's a new race." Velgrynd couldn't help but mutter.

"You can say that again. I'll get a sample for Twilight once this is all over." Argent replied.

The goat men are using common weapons like swords and shield to combat the other side. In a similar way-

Armed men with swords in their sheath, spears and shield in their hands.

All of them could be seen thrusting their spears into their enemies and others slashing with their swords. Others uses shields to block the attacks coming onto them.

Many types of attacks may come your way. From swords, spears, and arrows to fire and water attacks from the spirits.

"Look up there." Argent pointed upwards. Where light and darkness seems to fight for dominance.

Light shows its brilliance like the sun was present in the battlefield. For it will then be covered by darkness.

"Do you see them Argent?" Velgrynd asked.

"Yeah, they seem strong maybe class 6"

The one who has been using light then casted something that shoots rays of sunlight to all parts of the battlefield.

The attacks cause a lot of damage to the water type of spirits below. And will leave the fighters below with burnt skin if not burned alive.

This was Hyperion titan god of light. And the one who blocked his rays of sunlight and protected those below was-

Thanatos God of Death the son of Nyx Goddess of night. Their clash in the sky continues on. Using both their concepts and weapons at their disposal to defeat the other.

Another fight that is happening in the sky is a battle between a man and a woman.

Coeus the titan god of intelligence and farsight. He was one of the wisest in the battlefield and also one of the reason as to why they have survived this war for a long time.

The person that he is currently fighting in the sky is-

One of the rivers in the underworld. Styx.

The two kept their clash in the sky away from the ground. Unlike Hyperion and Thanatos' battle. Theirs were more on skills in how they handle the weapon in their hands.

From the participants of this war, many would realize that it is the war between the Olympians and the Titans. The battle called Titanomachy.

The battle on the ground wasn't in any way less impressive.

Minor gods and other beings fought one of another. Abilities thrown from here or there. Not to mention the monsters brought by the titans. The one they called the monsters of Kronos.

These monsters rushed to the Olympian armies massacres could be seen for every step they take. Bodies flying in the air, and the screams of the beings that were unfortunate enough to face them.

The battle was seperated into three groups. The right, left and middle.

Left side

From the left flank of the Olympians were Hades and Kratos. Hades was leading his army against the Titan God of Dusk Astraeus who was leading the titan army's right flank.

(Olympian's left = titan's right)

Meanwhile Kratos was fighting Aigaion the titan god of storm of the Aegean sea. The two threw attacks at each other, until Aigaion lost his footing and was grabbed by Kratos in his neck.

"Agh!"

Kratos was choking Aigaion until he passes out.

"Tsk"

Unfortunately for Kratos, Atlas came to attack him. Forcing him to let go of Aigaion who fell to the ground unconscious. The two men then started to fight.

Hades fought with Astraeus with their spears. The two exchange thrust and swings at each other. Hades waited for the right moment to deal a major blow. And then it came,

*swing*

"Gah!" Astraeus was wounded heavily by Hades attack. Hades' sword was swung to the head of Astraeus, if hades' sword were sharper, he would be dead. With his ears ringing from the sword that knocked his helmet off. He was forced to ran back to his army to retreat.

Creous titan God of constellation came down from where he was before. Using his concept of constellation to mesmerize Hades for a few seconds and then attacking him.

Hades was wounded by the spear thrown by Creous. The two continue to fight each other, because of Hades' caution he manages to fight.

Right side

From the right side of the Olympians was Poseidon. He was attacking very aggressively towards the enemy army. Along with him was Bia goddess of Force. With how fast they were moving, their armies are barely keeping up with their onslaught.

"Good just a little bit more." a man smiled as he sees Poseidon come closer. This man was Menoetius the titan God of violent anger and rash action.

"Indeed" another responded. This was one of the two other titan gods with him. It was Pallas God of Battle and Witchcraft.

The plan was to lure in Poseidon and Bia then Isolate them from their Army. The plan has been long set in motion as Pallas and Perses the titan God of Destruction have been pushing back the Olympian army.

Soon Poseidon and Bia realized the situation that they were in. But it was too late, as Menoetius faced Poseidon. And Pallas and Perses confronted Bia.

Poseidon rushed to Menoetius, in which he was stabbed by the spear held by Menoetius. Then another spear was with him. Cutting of Poseidon's advance altogether.

Bia was forced in a two vs one fight. All three of them uses swords and shields. Bia could destroy the shields of her enemy, but only if she hit them. The two made sure to dodge her attacks while slashing at her. The situation was the worst for Poseidon and Bia.

Middle

In the middle flank of the Olympian was Zeus the God of thunder. He was riding a chariot on his way to the front of his army. To where his people are being sent flying by the monsters brought by the enemy's side.

His charioteers were Zelus god of envy and Nike goddess of victory. Zeus landed in front of the strongest of the monsters. Aix said to be the pet of the king of the titans Kronos.

The monster noticed Zeus and ran towards him. Zeus using his sword and shield fought with the beast. He realized the hardness and thickness of the monster's skin was extremely high. Looking like it received no damage at all.

The fight took a few minutes until Zeus attack Aix eyes blinding the monster of Kronos. The beast stumbles down and writhed in pain. Using his enemy's blindness, Zeus using his sword decapitated Aix.

Iapetus the leading titan of the entire army went to face of against Zeus. Meanwhile Zelus was facing Epimetheous Aod of Afterthought and Nike faced Prometheus the God of forethought.

Zeus feeling arrogant from his win against the beast, rushed towards Iapetus. Iapetus thrusters his spear forward and hit Zeus in his stomach.

"A mere boy thinks he can win against me? Hm! How arrogant of you." Iapetus said to Zeus as they fought.

Zeus realized his disadvantage in the fight and was starting to lose ground. His right arm holding his sword was wounded by Iapetus. He then let go of his sword and took it to his left to make a surprise attack on Iapetus.

Iapetus dodge the attack and was met with dust clouds. After which he can see Zeus at the back of the chariot with Zelus who beat Epimetheous, with Nike running and joining in as well.

Iapetus grabbed his spear and aimed it at the chariot. He threw it with precision and hit Zelus in his back. It wasn't enough to finish him, but it did gravely wounded him. Nike took over for Zelus who was driving the chariot.

In a similar fashion in how the middle flank of the Olympians were retreating both left and right were as well.

The battle between Hades and Creous was not winnable since Hades was wounded. Luckily for him, he was saved by Kratos who ran away from Atlas once he realizes the difference of strength between them.

The battle with Poseidon ended in a similar way. With the realization of being cornered into enemy territory. Poseidon prioritizes the safety of them both.

He went to Bia who was covered in wounds by fighting both Pallas and Perses. He grabbed her and retreated back to their lines. The others tried to stop them from retreating but were stop by the sacrifices of the people in Poseidon's army shielding them Both.

This was a defeat for the Olympians. However instead of rushing in and killing them all. The titans didn't pursue any further, for if they follow, the Gigantes that guards mount Olympus may rain rocks at them like before, when they tried to siege their mountain.

"Looks like one of the armies is retreating." Velgrynd muttered.

"Looks like it, aside from the left side. The others didn't have much coordination anyway." Replied Argent.

"That's true, the right side lost a lot of men. More so than both the middle and left combined. In fact the left is the only one that retreated with any type of coordination." Velgrynd agreed. "so what now?"

"Personally I don't want to interfere yet. It might affect the chances of winning on both sides." Argent shrugged his shoulders. "if we do interact with them, will have to keep our actions into a minimum. Making sure to not to do anything that can leave a major effect."

"Basically you want to talk with them?" Velgrynd realizes that Argent may say that he won't interfere. What he is really saying is he 'should not' interfere, but he will.

"Yup!"

*sigh*

"Hey now! I don't plan on talking with those to groups yet. I'm planning on talking to third parties." Argent defended.

"Third parties?" asked Velgrynd.

Argent pointed in the ground. "Try sensing her." Velgrynd used her senses to the ground.

"Wow, a whole spirt king inhabiting a planet. That's pretty amazing, although... She seems to weak for a spirit king." Velgrynd was surprised by what she found out.

"Probably because she inhabited a planet or because she had descendants that she gave birth to. I could sense her powers from a few of the fighters earlier." Argent said his hypotheses.

The two went away from the previous battlefield. They went to one of the mountains that was nearby. They made sure that, there is no one in the vicinity.

"Alright, I know you can hear me. I know you sensed us, when we arrive earlier." Argent spoke to the side od the mountain.

The mountain started to morph in ways to form a body of a woman.

"It is nice to meet you. My name is Gaia, the goddess and personification of Earth." Gaia said with respect to the two.

"Do you know who we are?" Asked Argent. He found her attitude for their first interaction to be strange. That this should be the first time that they met.

"I do not know you exactly, but I do know where you came from." Gaia replied. "besides the lady over there gives a familiar feeling to the one that placed me here."

"-! You remember when you were brought here?" Asked Argent surprised. Veldanava never physically placed them to each universe. He just transport them via magic and letting them run free. Due to his carelessness a lot of these beings mutated.

"So I really was brought here by someone." Gaia smiled. "I only have a vague recollection of someone with black hair with white specks like stars in the night sky."

"That would be my brother Veldanava." Said Velgrynd to Gaia.

"I see, no wonder you seem to give of a familiar feeling. It is an honor to meet someone of your stature."

"Honors all mine, we have a few question if you don't mind." Velgrynd asked.

"Of course, I'll answer everything that you may ask." Gaia replied.

And so the questioning started.

A/N: First and foremost, I know the story isn't Greek mythology accurate. If you're a Greek mythology fan and find any inaccuracies please turn a blind eye.

I don't have the time to look and read the most accurate depiction of the war. I'm basing this titanomachy from the YouTube channel "Living Mythology"

They have 3 videos about the war, that I listened to for this story. You can watch it to know how the story will go.

Ah! Some of the beings brought by veldanava may or may not remember him. (like pangu)

Some only vaguely remembering and others getting a good look at his face. (like gaia)

Some are god like beings (for their universe but not the cardinal world) that creates the majority of their world since veldanava made the universes, the "godlike" beings make their world.

Some just take the credit of the already built world they lived in.

On a side note, do you guys want me to make Jahil into a permanent ally or a future enemy?

I can't really decide so I'm letting you guys decide. Here are the facts needed to know before deciding.

Jahil's position is an essential villain without him so many plot points will disappear.

Killing baby dragon > milim rampage > turning into demon lord > guy stopping her and Ramiris becoming weaker > start of walpurgis.

Turning kagali into deathman > destroying the Elven kindom by milim and chaos dragon > birth of tear, footman, clayman, even Laplace. > since the nation was destroyed it was the birth of Sarion dynasty

Now I could just choose another character to take his place so he can be an ally. I'm saying that the character position is important not the character. By character position I mean the actions he did are plot necessary not the character itself.

This voting is only for one week since I have to change the story line depending on your answers.

If you're asking for my opinion I'd like to make him an ally, it's fun to see characters in different situations.

There's also been questions about when Argent get his name. It will take a long time. Not because I'm lazy or anything but because I want to create a situation where naming him is necessary, since naming is still dangerous for the namer.

At maximum 9ish chapters when he gets named if you want reference. If I rush it maybe 7-8.
