"Cindy?"

Richard paused the moment Cindy entered the hall with urgency.

"An attack! Karen- no, Skadi with a force composed of the remaining mystical groups in the country attacked Morgana!"

"What?!"

A few hours before-

Skadi, formerly Karen Tamashiro, had attended a meet and greet for her online persona.

While Richard and Morgana were busy with the mystical world matters, the real world still continued on like normal.

The mystics were being gathered by Richard and the mystical beings being herded by Morgana.

Unfortunately for them, the Philippines was less a single land mass but an archipelago.

While their actions were working well in the north-

"Uhm... Shio-chan?"

C City, in the Visayas Region of the country.

In one of the largest malls in the nation, a huge convention was under way.

But unlike normal, his convention had a few things off about it-

Unlike normal, the hall area within 1km of the region was blocked off.

Normally, such a huge act would be noticed immediately by the media yet- as if guided by a mysterious force, even the residents had turned a blind eye to the weird situation.

Traffic was greatly affected, it was so bad that cars on the road looked like they were all parked.

Again, not a single word, not a single news crew-

Amidst this silent chaos, the convention in the mall was going on without a single problem. All participants were smiling ear to ear, the sound of joy and laughter echoed.

Yet there was only a single theme for the convention.

Other conventions had a theme that could attract multiple large fandoms.

Anime conventions, Comicon and other conventions were meant to attract various people with a large encompassing theme.

Yet the convention in C City was focused on a single person-

Amagi Shio...

An online personality, a virtual figure who is known for an "anime avatar".

Nobody knows who it was that spoke behind the avatar, all they knew was that the individual speaking behind the cute image was an actual woman.

Moreover, the individual had recently transferred to the Philippines from Japan.

Yet that would not explain the rather "National VIP" level of treatment she was experiencing. The whole city seemed to be in on what she was doing.

Still, the person who had caused this weird situation was now quietly sitting in a VIP room as a different woman was on stage singing.

"What is Lorenz?"

Amagi Shio, no Karen Tamashiro- yet even that name was abandoned, Right now, she carried the name that truly had meaning to her.

"The preparations have been completed"

"Good"

The confirmation of her servant made Skadi smile, this made the man named Lorenz blush.

He did not know who the woman before him truly was, he was nothing more than a fan of Amagi Shio. Yet- he was offered an opportunity to become her secretary.

One thing led to another and he now found himself in a situation where he could not turn away from.

He gave up everything-

His family which was a prominent political force in C City, his lover who was a witch that belonged to a faction that worked with his family for decades...

All of it was given up just to please the woman before him.

Lorenz heard a whisper in the back of his mind that this was wrong yet he didn’t listen.

He personally watched his former lover be turned into a monster, his parents and all his relatives turned into mindless puppets.

With his help, Skadi and a blonde woman got access to the provincial water supply where they casted some mysterious magic.

Right now, Lorenz had long understood that his "Oshi" was not real- but he was willing to continue his support of the woman.

Unlike others who were forced to call her "Skadi", he was given the right to call her "Shio-chan".

He knew he was not special, that he could never become the lover of his oshi but that was never the goal.

So long as he could prove his worth to the woman who he respected and supported-

As Lorenz was making up excuses in his mind, Skadi was laughing as she listened to his internal mutterings.

Pitiful child~ you think your worthless ability and connections are worthy of me?

Unaware that his secret desires and wishes were already well known, Lorenz continued to fantasize of "what could be" while the target of his thoughts laughed at him.

"Skadi"

At this time, the door opened and the blonde woman entered.

Seeing her, Lorenz bowed and left quietly but his mind had gotten a bit more wild in its delusions.

After Lorenz had left, a golden barrier surrounded the room and the blonde woman sat next to Skadi.

"Kids these days... even the barbarians were more refined. They at least knew how to properly respect women. Nowadays, whether men or women, the disgusting thoughts they have grew to an absurd extreme"

The blonde woman commented while scowling at the direction where Lorenz had left.

"His thoughts are crazy but they’re rather tame compared to the thoughts of the people in the audience. Some were not satisfied with just anthropomorphic animals and even started having thoughts about actual animals"

Skadi answered the blonde woman who rolled her eyes and asked in return.

"Which one? I don’t think there’s anyone worse than that one-"

The blonde woman asked Skadi, her meaning obvious-

"I think the horse lady is quite severe"

Ignoring her taunts, Skadi answered while pointing at one of the women in the crowd. Wearing a cosplay of a popular game character, the woman had a twisted kink. She seemed to think that a woman’s privates could take in just about anything.

Yet from the looks of it, the woman was still a virgin and yet her age was already nearing thirty-

"The pig lady is worse I believe"

Seeing as her taunts were ineffective, the blonde woman decided to play along with Skadi instead as she pointed out to a woman who looked like a model.

With a sexy body that could attract any man and a face that could cause even the gayest of men to go straight- the woman too was a virgin at past thirty.

She was also wearing seductive looking clothes, they weren’t cosplay... that or the blonde woman didn’t know about the character she was playing.

The two continued to point out various women with some crazy desires.

Many of them were unrealistic, born from the lack of understanding they had from inexperience.

There was an interesting point where women who had no actual experience in intercourse and sex had the most absurd desires. From penetration of their cervix, deep throats that could be seen through the skin of their neck or deep penetration that reflects on their womb-

Compared to them-

"The men are comparatively tame, their desires are at least limited to "female body", so long as it is their ideal body type, even fur is tolerable it seems"

The men only want "female bodies", to them, so long as they could stick their dick in a female body, it was good.

Even Lorenz- was just a kid with some BDSM kinks, ultimately his greatest desire was still to stick his dick into a woman and pump his seed in her.

"Anyway, how’s the northern expedition doing?"

Skadi shifted the conversation abruptly and as if on que-

The whole room went dark as a screen went down to show a live feed that was showing a large group of mystics armed to the teeth with mystical armor and weapons.

"It seems the einherjar system is still in place? I thought Merlin destroyed it along with Asgard?"

Seeing the group of ancient warriors, Skadi felt a mysterious pressure.

Those were the same men who had abused her, the same men who pushed her and her people to the brink.

They were also the people who were supposed to have perished long ago, the individuals who were destroyed by Merlin and the coalition-

"Letting them perish was a waste, all I did was take them in and gave them a taste of their own medicine"

The blonde woman smiled while showing a sigil on her forehead which was reflected on the many warriors.

"Their weapons and armor?"

"The Asgardians have no use for the, I got them for cheap, in exchange for a path to the surface- even got a few Asgardian slaves in the process"

The feed shifted showing a group of women riding on winged horses-

"The Valkyries survived?"

Skadi saw many familiar faces, unlike the armored soldiers who were merely possessed individuals, the women on the winged horses were the actual valkyries from the past!

"Merlin was kind enough to give a warning, Frigg gave up her body to let a few survive"

Hearing the answer to her question, Skadi showed a look of confusion as well as suspicion.

Knowing of what she was thinking about, the blonde woman quickly added-

"She made a deal with Merlin, Frigg was turned over to the soldiers and became their slaves, Merlin made Odin and the remnant souls of the asgardians watch as their Queen was assaulted to death. Upon her death, Frigg’s soul was cursed to become a victim of all the sins her husband, children and people committed"

"..."

Skadi had been unaware of such a thing and did not know how to answer.

"Merlin did a lot of shady things, Ragnar was also critical on Merlin because of that but his actions were carried out to resolve his growing madness"

"Madness?"

"You didn’t know? The blood of a succubus- no matter how powerful and skilled one is, the blood of a mystical monster, moreover, one whose existence was made solely for destruction... Even Merlin had a limit"

The revelation shocked Skadi to her core, unable to process things she nearly froze when-

"Then! How about Richard?!"

*smirk*

"It seems he was being led around by an ancient goddess and Schathach seems to have other desires"

*bang*

Skadi stood up, her face dark as she glared at the display.

"I’m going"

Without waiting for a reply, Skadi exited the room, her expression masked with a dark rage as she stomped away.

"Take care"
