Chapter Twelve; audience with the goddess of Death

*three weeks sense last chapter, within Artoria's Throne world*

3 weeks have passed since the king of knights has been able to achieve the grand results of creating a throne world.

In those three weeks she has fully recovered and also with the guidance of oryx, her king, she was able to shape her throne world how she wished it to be.

A land of death stretched on, the size of this death filled land was larger than a planet, all around demonic beings hunted and lurked, she would find theses Savage entities while she was on her missions and she would bring them to her world in order to fill it with an environment of only death, of only survival of the fittest.

Along with all this, massive rivers of dark mana would stretch into the world like roots from a plant, theses rivers where made of her own mana, and if any being were to drink from it and be too weak to withstand the powerful pulse of energy from her mana then there insides would rot away and they would disintegrate from the inside out.

At the very center of the world of her own creation, was a massive dark Castle, around it a massive pit of the dark magic sat around the castle, this was the location at which all the rivers lead towards, and this was the center point of the darkness within the world itself.

{Ignore the moon}

Going into this Dark Castle you would almost enter another reality, the size inside was much larger then it was shown outside, as hundreds of different walkways stretched throughout it, making a labyrinth of twisting tunnels.

But if you follow them the right way, you would find a massive door, and upon it the symbol of the taken King carved within.

This door was guarded by hundreds of her taken, with her knights being the closest and her Psion's being the furthest.

Theses taken where given a single order by there master, that was to be the defenders of this way within the room beyond. Now you may wonder what's behind the door well, if one was to go through the door they would be greeted with the sight of a massive opened room, with it being made of some kind of dark ebony metal, then resting perfectly with the black carpet which rolled up the center, a throne sat.

This was there Artoria currently resided, she sat upon her throne as her eyes scanned her world, for now with her newest achievement the complete security of her world was now fulfilled.

She smiled a most demonish smile, she stood from her throne and walked behind it where there an opening was and outside that opening was a green and black sun with blazed with its dark light.

Her Oversoul

Yes her Oversoul, constructed by her dying in a wound between places, where upon a certain amount of deaths she was able to detach her soul and with the help of her King create the oversoul seen within the sky.

This oversoul would protect her from death by hiding her deaths from the universe making her harder to kill, and it would also act as a weapon which is hundreds of times stronger then Excalibur.

{Go figure Crota's Oversoul was powerful enough to alt control delete your guardian, and even if hers is weaker, it's still going to pack a mean punch.}

Further more she also had her newfound pet.

"Typhon, come."

From the sky a massive storm of black and green energy descended down before parting away, the first thing she saw was massive jet black wings before the chest of the beast was exposed as it's chest pulsed with a bright green glow.

Then the beast lowered it's head as she could see it's glowing green eyes, and the symbol which glowed the same light green glow.

The dragon upon seeing its master bowed it's head, Artoria looked upon him and smiled, she remembered the creation of the being before her, her King sent her to a remote valley called dragon valley, there she would track the movements of a supposed evil dragon, but as she was tracking it she spotted a baby dragon cowering in fear of her, she would approach this infant as it would try to run but she lured him out with food, she watched approach before lowering its head as the baby eat from her hand as it would look up at her. Before wagging his tail in happiness.

After her mission was done and there was nothing that could have been found, she took the dragon and placed it within her world, there he would have to survive on his own, the baby at first was scared but after over a hundred years within her world he grow up and sense he drunk from the altered kings river of dark magic, he underwent the same treatment as all the others who dares to drink from the kings mana, but unlike the others his infant had a power much stronger than them, as such he was able to overcome the task and consume and make the power his. Soon the baby had transformed into a pseudo hive like beast with hive magic pulsing from its body. Artoria would find the dragon as it eat the body of a massive magical beast which she brought to this world, and upon seeing her again the dragon would remember what she did to him, but instead of being angry, the dragon looked upon her like a mother, and lowered it's head as she patted the side of its face. It understood that she was an alpha and after being within the dragon valley for so long he learned that alpha's will only except other alphas as such she was testing him, wanting him to grow stronger and he did.

Artoria could feel the dragons wanting to be excepted, and she would, he had proved himself to be a might beast, killing magical creatures as powerful as Satan class devils with ease and feasting upon there flesh. As such she would say words which she still remembers to this day, and how those words would form a bond between ascendent hive and ascendent pseudo hive dragon.

"I shall bestow upon you the name of Typhon, the most feared dragon within the legend and history of Greek, you shall be the beast which serves as the kings mount into battle and together we shall strike down the universe and it's stupid laws and bring our kings will to completion."

"Typhon, I have an assignment for you."

The dragon narrowed his eyes.

"You see there is a group of beings I need delt with. And I now you've been wanting to stretch your wings so here." She held out a pieces of cloth that had blood on it. "Hunt them down."

Typhon smiled the cloth before his eyes dilated as he roared, he shoot up into the sky as she opens a portal to the location as he would go and do his own thing.

"Now I shall return and await his return."

*With Oryx*

Things had not been fun to say the less, ever second of ever day he spent it with the Gremory family, as he was underneath protection because of the death of the people sent to protect him while he visited the human world.

Theses past three weeks he's barely had any ample opportunity to keep the assault on the old Satan faction having to use night in order to plan out strategies, and get reports to Artoria, essentially everything was backed up and the King does not like set backs.

Now he was within the living room as rias, Akeno and sona sat there next to him, rias being her usual self hanging out and talking about how she may get free from her arranged marriage with riser, Akeno trying to help her and sora just being neutral, she only popped up when there needed to be a logical voice to not have them stray away from the reality of the situation.

As for oryx well he discovered things called a phone and ear pods, which he almost immediately learned how to use and then queued up some music to not have to listen to there talk.

Time went by and they felt probably to help rias out and oryx hoped they would get her out of her bitch fit but that probably wasn't going to happen, but as he was sitting there he felt the couch as a par of hands wrapped around him and pulled out the ear pods.

"What do you need mother?"

"Son why can't a mother spend time with her baby boy."

Oryx said nothing, he remained quiet as Grayfia layed against his shoulders as oryx just glanced at her, underneath her eyes where darker then usual indicating to him that she wasn't receiving any sleep as of late.

"Mother, have you been getting any sleep?"

"Yes plenty sweety."

"Mother don't lie to me, I can see the bangs under your eyes, there darker then ever and your slouching against my body, your tired."

"No sweety I'm fine honestly."

Oryx said nothing, he felt Grayfia slowly closing her eyes as she fell asleep, he looked upon his sleeping mother and said and did nothing.

Some time passed and he felt his father enter the room and when he saw the sight of the sleeping Grayfia who was leaning on oryx he smiled.

"Wow what an amazing sight to behold." He walked around and sat next his his son. "Sup kiddo how's everything going?"

"Fine, but as you can see..."

"Ya Grayfia had been well.... Worried to say the less"

"Let me guess about the attacks."

"Ya little man, where all worried, everyone's worried. Because you've been attack by the old Satan faction more times then a grasshopper jumps in its lifetime."

'over dramatic they've never attacked me, I was the one who attacked them.'

"And that's why Grayfia been losing sleep, she's scared, scared that our baby boy will be killed by those bastards."

'......' oryx looked up at him with a face of irritation. 'Those fools don't have the ability to harm me.'

"So Akuma when you see her like this, just be there for her, she's been worried sick ."

Oryx said nothing as he felt Grayfia lean against him more, he looked down and saw her face and wondered if this was how it was like to have a mother, after all in his old life he never had a mother, never felt the embrace of one. But now that he was experiencing it he wondered if maybe in those times when he and his sisters were young could they have possibly had a better outcome if there was a mother to protect them?

No probably not, the traitorous mother killed their father and exiled them from their Homeland, if this was the case then there was no doubt that she would have ordered the execution of his and his sister's mother as well. Meaning that the road he would have tooken would remain the same and his journey into the deep would have came about the same.

Sirzechs looked upon his quiet son and sleeping wife, as a smile came over his face. Seeing these two like this warmed his heart in a way he could never explain with just mere words this was a moment most precious to him for he had something he wanted for a long time, a family of his own.

His son might be broody antisocial and has a much more strict nature than most other children but at the end of the day he loved him unconditionally, and then there was his wife a woman of his dreams and the woman he fell for and the woman who birthed his child. She was everything to him and he won't have it any other way.

But he stoped when he say Grayfia practically lose all the strength she had and it was now completely slouched over on his son's shoulder, he laughed to himself as he got up and walked over, Oryx aka Akuma looked at him confused and Sirzechs just smiled.

"Don't worry son just taking her to bed, because I think she needs it."

"Ya" Oryx looked at her as his eyes flashed green for not even a fraction of a second. "She does."

Sirzechs said nothing in response to that simply standing up and taking her away walking down the hallways of their home he entered their bedroom where there he placed his wife upon the bed and tucked her in nicely, she melted into the pillow which her head now layed upon as a pleasurable sigh came from her lips.

"Night Grayfia."

*Back with Oryx*

The taken King sat upon the couch, he looked in the detection where his father took his mother and turned away with a scoff, he was about to return to listening to these music which the humans made but he felt a tap in his shoulder and looked around annoyed, only for him to see rias Akeno and sona.

"Rias what is it that you want?"

"Ahhh... Akuma can I ask a favor from you?"

"That being?"

"Can you train me, and Akeno?"

The king froze, did this girl just ask for him the king of darkness to train this sad excuse of a devil!

"Akuma." He looked over at Sona. "It was I who came up with this idea, the only reason why I even suggested it is because Rias is in a bit of a crisis over this situation, as you now in the future see you scheduled an arranged marriage with the heir of the Phoenix family, Riser, and seeing how you were able to destroy him and under a second and rias wanting to be free of marrying him I suggested that she comes to you that way she can learn from you how to get more powerful."

Sona locked eyes with the king as he narrowed his, he stood up and looked at rias as he looked upon her, and felt disgust.

Here standing before him was a member of "his family" who never worked a day in her life for anything she has now, practically groveling at his feet for him to train her. So that she can get out of a marriage placed on her by a royal family who are meant to uphold a degree carried out by over a thousands years worth of traditions.

She wanted to be trained by him because she doesn't want what is coming in the future, honestly oryx could already sense a latent potential within her, but she's practically wasting it by not training if she would have done that since she's unlocked her powers like he did she would have been able to possibly grow to the point where she would be stronger than him but no she didn't and now she's facing the consequences.

Rias is about 12, her marriage is do when she turns around 18 or 19, meaning that she only has 6-7 years to grow stronger than the Phoenix who has been training his ass off ever since Oryx bodied him.

"Akuma please... I now I probably don't deserve it, but can you train me if only a little."

Oryx looked at rias and sighed, had nothing else to do, after all he was still underneath witness protection and it was going to be quite a while until it's night where then he can leave under the cover of darkness where he would be seen. So he walked towards the door as rias and her group looked at him confused until his hand gestured itself in a signal of come along.

Akeno and Rias beamed with excitement as they ran over to him and Sona smiled as they followed him outside.

And off in the distance now returning was Sirzechs as he watched the trio leave he smiled.

"Thank you, Akuma."

*Outside*

Now standing in the massive fields of the gremory household Akuma stood there as Akeno and Rias stood there nervous.

"Now for our first part your going to spare against me."

"W-wait why?" Asked the nerve-wrecked rias as she didn't want to fight Akuma, after all he's a demon in combat.

"Because it will be the fastest way for me to see your strengths and weaknesses, now." He activated the power of Destruction. "Stop being a scared infant and attack me."

The two looked at each other before going in, rias on the right, and Akeno on the left. They both lunched magical attacks with rias's power of Destruction being destroyed by his own and Akeno's lightning simply being backhanded away.

"Alright." From his arm red lightning was born into the fabric of creation, it swirled around his arm as he took his steps forward.

(Just make it red)

"My turn."

He accelerated his speed disappearing in a blinding flash, they tried to find him but it was proven useless as Oryx set his sights on Akeno and unleashed a flurry of high-speed attacks.

Three to the chest, before he appeared behind her and delivered upon her spine a devastating Force as she was sent skipping across the ground.

But instead of feeling pain she got pleasure from it as she layed on the ground with a bright red flush upon her face and drowsy eyes.

'nezt time knock her out.'

Now staring to the alone rias she felt fear creep into her being, she was about to ask why he did it but she already knew he was showing them what would happen if her and Akeno did get into a fight with riser at there level, after all why would he hold back against them when something he desires is on the line, he was showing them that the enemy would not show mercy and that they should not show any Mercy to him having this information fully planted in mind she began to charge up her power of destruction for one last shoot.

'Here it comes, let's see if she can even scratch my clothing.'

She opened her eyes as a bright crimson Aura blazed from her very being.

Then she thrusted out her arms as a large magical circle appeared in front of her and from it the power of Destruction roared in its fury.

This wave of demonic energy came towards Oryx who sighed.

'this is so incredibly...'

He smacked away the energy like it was a simple fly.

"Weak, Rias you take far too long to cast your magic and you don't even have enough power to make it a relative threat. I suggest for you that you work on increasing the amount of magic you have and can control while also formulating tactics which you can possibly use in the future. Akeno for you stop neglecting your inheritance, use that power to crush your enemies because if you don't, you'll die in the future."

"W-wait how do you-"

"I can sense two different magical energies within you I can tell you're not just purely a devil now remember what I said embrace your inheritance or you will die in the future."

Without further to say or do he left back into his room where there he would await the report from his knight.

*With Artoria*

She was still within her throne world as her Dragon returned it's mouth area covered in blood as it's claws where painted crimson.

Artoria congratulated the beast before heading out into the physical world where there she saw all the death and destruction which the beast brought upon its arrival within this world, and she smiled, stepping over the piles of old Satan scum she eventually reached a point where she made it into the base and began to scour for anything of usefulness for her and her King but she didn't find anything.

As she began to leave she suddenly felt as if something was pulling upon her being she turned around and saw nothing but when she turned around again she saw a woman standing among the death.

"Who are you?"

"I go by many names but you can simply call me Izanami, the goddess of death."

"Izanami as in the wife of-"

"Former wife of Izanagi, now I'm just a single woman who's heart is filled with hatred towards the one I thought I could love."

"Listen I'm not in the mood to listen to Your Love story, what do you want? why did you reach out to me?"

"Well you see girl I detest the lineage of Izanagi, and I always wanted to kill them myself but when I felt soul of Susanoo leave this world I felt amazed and also angered, I looked upon the one who ended his miserable existence and I found you standing there and that boy, where is that boy by the way?"

"My king is not here at the current moment."

"Your king?"... "Ow I forgot your a member of his Preerage, sense he's a devil."

"Well yes but I'm mainly apart of his court."

"Court? What is he some kind of judge?"

"No it's not anything like th- we're getting off track, so you reached out to me because I killed that Shinto God but why?"

"Simple after I saw what you and that boy did I felt burning hatred towards you for robbing me of being able to kill him myself, and I began to watch you and I must say you and this boy have peaked my interest quite a bit."

"How so?"

"He has enough power to completely dominate this entire world, and with myself being a goddess of death I was able to see all the spirits of those he's killed, and I must say I have never seen so many spirits before."

"How many were there?" Asked Artoria who was now interested at the goddesses words.

"I was easily able to see over 176 octillion different spirits, but that was barely even scratching the surface, on top of this he's a being of death, who brings death upon the very universe itself. His mirror existence is warping and distorting the very fabric of our existence, the natural law set in by the universe has casually been broken by his mere existence, essentially he's a being stronger if not as strong as a primordials of this universe and yet he was never born of this universe, I could not find his origins within the universe it was almost as if he was placed within this universe."

"Placed?" Now that she thought about it her King did mention about his past and it didn't seem like anything this world could ever produce.

"Precisely he was placed in this universe by a higher order but no other being was able to sense his arrival, meaning whatever brought him within this universe wasn't through his own means, it was through something else and this let me down why I have shown myself to you now."

"Alright and that is that?"

"I wish to serve your king."

"What?"

"You heard me girl, I wish to serve your king. I wish to be free of this imprisonment and if he does free me I will guarantee my full loyalty to him and I will also give him all the knowledge I know of the supernatural."

"That would be useful for my king but why would you even do this in the first place?"

"Girl what did you not hear me literally 30 seconds ago where I told you that he was able to destroy the universe by merely existing within it? That is very existence is destroying the way of life? This boy is destroying creation and quite frankly I like to choose The winning side, not to mention I won't lie as a goddess of death I am drawn to death and he is oozing the very aspect of it."

"So you're essentially joining us that way you can be free and so that you can be on the quote on quote "winning side"."

"Precisely and is it not a good deal if anything I'm getting the shorter end of the stick than anything, I'm giving away all of my information all of my knowledge and also giving my servitude to him in exchange for my freedom."

"All right but where are you in prisoned at?"

"Yomi, I am bound to this forsaken world because I ate the fruit within. My grief has now made me a prisoner permanently within this world and I will not have it any longer, I know that you're King has the ability to traverse/cut through space as simply as breathing, all I require is for him to come to the side where I was sent within this world and use his power to cut a dimensional tear within our realities there he could simply use his higher power to crush the very laws of this world I find myself trapped within and free me from it and then I will deliver on my part of the deal. So girl what do you say?"

"Izanami." They locked eyes as the knight smirked. "You have a deal I will tell my king at sunset there he can move about freely without having to worry about him being discovered, he should take this."

"Good" the goddess grinned from ear to ear. "Then I shall wait for your arrival my soon to be comrade and my future master."

The goddess disappeared into a black mist as Artoria returned to base and prepared an audience with her King.

There you have it ladies and gentlemen this newest chapter is done I hope you enjoyed it.

So this is all shaping up for next chapter where we should be seeing our favorite goddess of death join the show and as Artoria I shall change a little bit of her character without dramatically shifting the entire characters backstory and legend, on top of this we all got to see a little bit of what will happen between Rias and riser, now the question is can the tomato haired girl possibly grow strong enough to fight against the Phoenix and win against him, the world will never noe for I hold all the secrets hehehehehe.

Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this if you have any questions or ideas for the story leave them here as is tradition for us now the excuse me I got to go!

DIO OUT!!!!!!!!
