In the past , Faithless deities fought the faith gods " Surrender Faithless " the deities knelt weakly surrounded by other gods . The deities smirked looking at all of the faithless " I guess this is it for you Faithless . "
Atheos smiled at her enemies " Don't think you have won . " she raised her sword and she killed all of the faithless and finally kills herself " So they wanted to keep their pride what foolish gods . "
The faith gods dispersed leaving the plane alone while the souls of the deities and Atheos reincarnated somewhere across the planes where the influence of the soul can reach .
...
Sidra walked into the building after clearing a dungeon " Miss Sidra would you like to tell us anything you would like to say about the rankless dungeon other S ranks deemed as impossible ? " " It's hard to explain so just watch the footage I recorded . "
Sidra went to an apartment unit and opened the door revealing a girl resting on a bed inside the room .
" Now with this , I can wake this kid up . " Sidra found a kid inside a dungeon . She took her in after knowing her comatose condition and to cure it she needed to find an elixir " And here you go little girl "
Sidra poured the elixir and watched her complexion getting better " Even though you drank an elixir it will still be very hard on you . " Sidra placed the bottle on the table and waited for the girl to wake up .
" Mm the tower that appeared for the hunters got even harder to clear . " Sidra opened a system panel to see her weak stats ' I got bad stats but my foundation is quite good . '
The status screen showed her status that is chained and her long list of skills and titles " Master tamer , combat master , dancer , magic scholar .... " the list doesn't seem to end .
Atheos's soul floated around and felt Sidra's body " There is such a great body with a lot of skills . I need to possess her body ... sorry miss but they need me . " she flew to Sidra but was bounced back ' What !? '
She fell to the body of the girl in a comatose state while Sidra felt an itch on her head and scratched it " Must be the curse " she closed the panel and looked at the heartbeat of the girl .
" Her heart rate is normal and she looks like she is gonna wake up . " Sidra watched the girl slowly wake up " huh " ' What is wrong with this mortal why is she so strong ? ' " Hello little girl do you remember who you are ? " Sidra held a board with paper attached and a pen .
' What is this language ? ' Atheos was in a dilemma and stuttered without the ability to speak and spoke the deity's language " Oh you can speak but what language is that ? " ' No wait what is this time and plane's language ? ' Atheos tried to pierce Sidra's soul but was repelled making her a little dizzy .
Sidra caught the falling Atheos seeing her dazed condition " Must have been really hard to stay alive in that kind of coma . " she let Atheos rest on the bed looking at the time " I'll leave you breakfast . " Sidra took out a pre-made meal and placed it in the microwave leaving it to heat .
The girl was an extraordinary case for appearing in a different dungeon . Most of the time intelligent species appear in dungeons and the higher the difficulty of a dungeon the stronger they actually are , for a high-class dungeon to have a defenseless girl with nothing good to consider she was ignored until Sidra found her and took care of her .
The girl was considered alive but also dead mostly because she didn't have a soul inside her when she was found it was only the dungeon's traits that preserved her body and Atheos only slipped into the body after getting weakened from bumping into Sidra's body . Atheos opened her eyes after a few seconds of recovery .
" Oh that was fast that means the elixir is working well " " So do you know who you are ? " Atheos quickly gathered as much information from the surrounding apartment renters " Uhh I got lost inside the dungeon "
Sidra was shocked and put on a mask pretending to be a nurse and started to check her for any wounds ' Dang do guilds and orphanages I'm gonna have to make war with them for ignoring this girl ' " Oh great you are completely fine . "
Sidra was also trying to hide her expression from the girl ' Maybe I can walk around on my own ' " I want to go to the bathroom " ' Definitely a war ' Atheos took the blanket taking a glance at her legs and then look at herself with clairvoyance .
' I look like a small child of the human race ' she turned to the edge of the bed and went down only to collapse ' Ugh why does the human body feel so heavy ? ' " Kid ! " Sidra went to the other side and picked her up .
" You should be resting , the elixir will take a while to fully heal your body " ' Longer than expected and why isn't that power strengthening method not work ? ' Atheos felt the conditions of her body and realized what happened .
' I'm cursed !? ' " Here you go " Sidra placed back Atheos on the bed " Okay since the orphanage let you go ... no wait you are already afflicted with my curse ... but how ... must be the dungeon "
' Since I am afflicted with a curse this powerful I must be close to the one who knows how to use it ... but to think even if she has this curse she can still be the strongest in the records of this world '
The records Atheos was talking about is the system that allows Sidra to view her stats " Well I can just remove it for you " Sidra reached out to grab hold of the curse ' No if such chains sap the strength of a god it will be much harder to dispel '
Sidra pulled out a few lengths of chains and released her grip " Maybe I shouldn't have done that , the curse might make you lose your strength it will be bad if you lost all of your potentials just because of it "
Sidra sighs ' Then I must find a way to convince her to help me get used to this curse ' " Hmm what should I do I can't take you in as a disciple since you probably can't learn much ... Well then you're gonna be my daughter then "
" Huh ? " ' Yes I have a daughter now ' ' This is one way to get close to her ' Sidra smiles and pats Atheos's head " So what's your name " ' I'll go for Theo ' " Theo " " Theo do you know what orphanage you come from "
Sidra held Atheos's hands to calm her down in case the orphanage was bad ' I don't even know this girl and I have not seen her memories ' " I don't remember " " Oh it's okay Theo mommy's here "
Sidra hugged and placed Atheos's head on her shoulder while she made a serious expression ' Dang she even has amnesia it may be good but it means it is bad in other ways . Good thing the elixir was a rankless tier '
" Okay Atheos you can move out of this trashy apartment , the hospital didn't want to accept you since they said you have some "infectious" disease " Sidra sighed and looks around the room ' At least the housekeepers did their jobs properly '
Sidra picks up her phone and dialed a number " Hello apartment manager " she heard a thud , papers flying a few bumps and finally a hello " I'm leaving some money in the apartment thank you for letting me keep this girl here . "
" Of course ma'am it is my pleasure " Sidra sighed and deletes the number from her contact list " Okay kid hold on tight " ' She must be using a teleport spell ' Sidra engulfed them with a barrier and opened the balcony .
' No wait is she no ' Sidra took flight and soared through the air " The view looks nice , doesn't it ? " " uh uh yes " ' This mortal is crazy , is this what would happen if mortals gain power they just use it instead of using their planes ? '
Sidra found her house which was by the mountains " Okay little girl that is where you will be staying from now on " " Wow " ' To think such a big house can be made by the hands of mortals but what is this presence I sense ? '
They landed on the giant balcony with Atheos trying to think of the presence she sensed before ' I need to find out what that presence was ' " Hey kid wanna see something nice " Sidra saw the look in Atheos's eyes .
' She must be cautious after all she doesn't remember much of the past ' ' I must stay low so I can find the rest of the faithless gods , but what exactly is this presence ? ' Atheos followed Sidra to enter the room .
" Here is the living room and dining room and kitchen , downstairs is the laundry room and finally upstairs are the bedrooms " ' I need to ask around but I just admitted that I have amnesia ... Right I can ask some things like a curious kid '
" Are there any monsters here ? " " No Theo , the only monsters here are the docile ones they won't hurt you okay . They look scary but they will look very cute when they're small okay ? " ' She is like that monster god back in the realm . '
Sidra bought Atheos an extra room " This will be your room of course I will bring you to buy some things after you have some breakfast the one at the apartment kinda was too hot and probably not to your taste " Sidra looked at the refrigerator hoping it would respond .
" I have a daughter now can you make her a healthy breakfast ? " Code quickly took out the food in the fridge and whipped up a quick breakfast " Thank you " Sidra went to pick up the plate while Atheos was flabbergasted .
' Isn't that the one that keeps the records ? I've seen it before but not in a mortal's hands ' " Oh don't be surprised my little daughter that is just my assistant I'll be sure to get you some helpers , of course , you can cook though I'm bad so I can't teach you that "
Sidra said with a smile " How did you get it ? " ' Well I can just sugarcoat it ' " Well mother had been stuck with this system for some time so I manage to grab it and make it the house assistant "
' She's not lying but why this presence isn't the one I felt ' " Oh and I'm not sure if you want to see this but the drawings were very interesting plus they're ruins " Sidra went to the living room to search for the book and found it .
" Oh here it is " Sidra took out a book and showed it to Atheos " Here you can read when I'm not home ... You can read right ? " Atheos nods her head and looked at the breakfast ' Are mortals ignorant of the bigger picture ? '
" By the way , there is a room full of weapons you can go in but you can't touch them " Sidra pats Atheos and takes a seat on the table ' She looks so adorable like this ' Sidra smiles and thinks of telling her friends about Atheos .
" Uh Mom ? " ' So cute ' " Yes Theo ? " ' I need to ask her about the chains ' " What were those red things that came out of me ? " " Ahh those it's not really harmful it only makes you as weak as a normal human so don't worry if you have problems I'll let my familiars help you . "
" What's familiars ? " " Hmm they can be big but they listen to me since they're my familiars ... Of course , I will be taking care of you most of the time " Sidra said thinking about Atheos smiling but she only saw an innocent girl with a weak expression .
' Darn I need some way to make her smile ... ' Sidra looked at the Tv that was in Atheos sight of view and thought that maybe she would like it ' No that might lead to addiction ... Maybe a new familiar ... but it might kill her should I force the chains on my familiars ? '
' Wait then why did Theo get my curse in the first place ? I told myself the dungeon should be the cause but could it be my constant visits to her ? ' Sidra looked at Atheos's curse and sees some difference ' Now that I think of it that dungeon she came in was a dungeon of curses , maybe she got cursed and the elixir mixed them all up '
She thought about the elixir and realized that the girl must've spent a long time for it to not take effect so well " I'll be right back " Sidra went to the basement and called out one of her familiar .
A circle appeared and out came a giant Fenrir " Good morning master how have you been " " I've decided your gonna be Theo's pet " ... " I thought it was a battle " " Shut up I'm breaking the contract and you will be Theo's familiar "
" Wait why ? " " She's my child " " You had a child " " No I just adopted her ... no need for papers they're a nuisance " " No this is serious you know what will happen when you break a contract as powerful as mine right ? "
Sidra nods her head and chains engulfed her but it was absorbed into her own curse " Yeah yeah but you know that's not the important part " " Yes it is ! Are you planning to break all our contracts "
Sidra looked at him " Maybe I should after all I don't really rely on you or anything but what if I keep repeating it ? " " NOOO , If you keep doing that your gonna destroy my strength " " tsk guess that means I have to do something about it then "
" Plus you need the other party's consent to do it " " So I can threaten them it's not like I have to listen to them when they will have to listen to me " Fenrir started to sweat a little and wished that Sidra won't force it .
" But then again the punishment weakens as you get weaker so I'll have to find others " Sidra opens her contract which was a stack of papers and slashed them " Wait why are you only doing this now ? "
" Maybe because I just thought of doing this now ? Can I be more obvious or do you think I'm plotting something ? " " Well now that I am without a contract I am free "
Sidra grabbed Fenrir by the head " I was planning to get her a pet but " ' S*** SHE'S GONNA THREATEN ME !!! ' the Fenrir screamed at his mind " But you know your attitude is hateful so go back to your little god and whine all you want "
She taunted the Fenrir which sparked a flare of revenge while pushing him back to the circle " You're gonna pay for this ! " " Already did anyways " ' Why did she antagonize the pet of the gods ? '
Atheos was watching but thought this was a good opportunity to get information ' But to think this mortal was so daring to break a contract between a god's pet but even more she broke more than just one ... if she encounters the god what will she do ? '
' As long as I get the god's power I can weaken the curse on Theo but the first thing needs to be to capture a god and slowly but surely harvest their strength ... but the curse is much more powerful a single god wouldn't be enough '
This was Sidra's plan in case someone got cursed similar to hers the original plan was to use her familiars but the gods were her target since the one who is afflicted with her curse was her newly adopted daughter .
' But she must have a good life , but schools these days are too concentrated on their reputation I'll just have her learn at home there are some other kids around her age but they would probably hate her '
Sidra looked at the scrolls that were stacked and took them ' I'll have her summon her friends ' ' She's coming ' Atheos quickly went to the chair and shoved the bacon to her mouth " Theo how about summoning your own familiar ? "
" Hmm ? " " Come here this will be fun " Sidra said giving Atheos a scroll " First unravel it and think of what kind of monster you want to summon ... No wait " Sidra went back to the shelves and took out a book .
" Here is a list of summons you can get from this " ' Isn't she giving me too much ? ' Atheos knew what the book was , a book of servants of the faithless and the faith gods ' Hmm if my memory serves me right then I should summon her '
Atheos used the scroll to summon the one she selected " Wow nice choice " Sidra said and a small little bird with red and blue feathers came out " A phoenix huh ... sorry it had to be small after all your mana is still weak ... but at some points , you can make it as big as the one in the picture "
Sidra said hoping to see some expressions on Atheos but there were none ' Maybe next time ' ' This will be enough ' " I'll leave you alone to communicate with the little bird don't make a contract yet "
She nods and Sidra left while Atheos looked at the TV ' I'll wait when she leaves '
Sidra looked at the lawn and stepped into her car and drove out ' It might be bad to leave her alone but the security is great plus it's good to get close slowly ' Sidra went out of the mountain road and entered the city .
' I don't need groceries but Code did give me the one spot where a portal could spawn '
...
" So you agree ? " " Yes ma'am " Atheos sighs after forcing Code to shut its mouth about Sidra and looked at Ember " Long time no see godless ? " " Same could be said to you Ember you hate faith gods as much as before "
" So what happened when you guys fought the faith gods " " We lose " " Spoken like a humble godless " " What happened after our death ? " " Nothing much other than chaos which probably most of you can tell "
" So meaning that the species under our territory have been taken out ? " " No those faith gods are foolish thinking they can make us prove our faith in them " " But why spare you ? " " Some of the are planning to use us as shields or gifts "
" And you didn't resist ? " " Of course , we didn't phoenix don't need to be threatened we have training for high resilience and have already thought our children about pain before they were even hatched "
" They must've hated you " " They did at first but to think we view the faith gods visiting as a blessing now ... maybe they're a blessing in disguise " " They really are foolish sometimes " " This is because you godless love freedom so much we decided to not play by the rules "
" But wouldn't they kidnap your kind and brainwash them ? " " They did but we found out and ended up forcing some to our teachings " " Those that mean you have allies among the faith gods ? " " Probably only youngsters "
" Can't say the youngsters are bad . They are like a clean slate , easy to inspire and control due to the lack of information . " " But they're like a seed that will grow " " I'm loving this talk ever since the annoying faith gods came they've been trying to take the intelligent races and strong ones out of our territory "
" Don't worry we have been keeping tabs with the intelligent races . They are too smart for the good of those gods " " What were the words those races kept saying ? " " I believe it was "Intelligence to compensate for power" "
" "Experience to compensate for abilities" Yeah but the human race of this planet is too great " " I know , that mother of yours was the strongest despite having a normal human body which sparked the fire of the weak allowing them to get closer to gods they even have a satellite even more powerful than Code who lives here "
Atheos looked at the Tv and thinks " So this Code you're talking about is this the original ? " " Yes , humans have managed to copy Code's ability " " How so ? " " I was threatened and Sidra made a whole program out of my functions so now I am forced to help her since I just lost my purpose in the tower " Code replied honestly afraid of Atheos
" See I told you that human is special " " Then is she the only one even if we say that she is special , humanity as a whole isn't " " Malice , they are professionals at malice " " What ? " "They make up the cruelest thoughts and Sidra is not just the strongest human in this world's records , she is humanity's jailer "
" What do you mean by that ? " " There are some criminals that get arrested but sometimes Sidra personally traps some of them because they are possessed " " By that you mean some soul attached to their bodies ? "
She looked at the TV as if asking for an explanation " Okay " Code showed images of security cameras of murders , court security and interrogation rooms " You see while Sidra used the active curse on herself to show to everyone and become a model she used it on others to imprison or extract the soul "
" So she has a big jail to keep all those criminals together " " Well she also has a big agency where she keeps those who accidentally took over the bodies of someone " Code answered and Ember stood on a chair while a program was played .
" The constellation agency is composed of people who give out information and write about the otherworlds . " " Hmm interesting what about the Prison then ? " the program turned off and Code took over .
" The prison is where Sidra keeps those who will kill and harm society I don't even know where it is " " So I will I want to visit the agency , but I need a reason " " Then ask Code it knows a lot of things that can be useful here "
" Just pretend you were curious when you saw the papers over there " the lights in the living room flickered to indicate the location . Atheos looked at the pages to see images of fantasy creatures " I could use this to pretend I was curious about the people who look different "
" Then how will you ask about the gods ? " Ember asked " I could use the excuse of knowing they are very powerful like controlling the weather " " Your new mom has a satellite that can even change the atmosphere or replicate "
" Have technology got to this level already ? " " Yes in fact they are testing life and death matter already " " Incredible then I should prepare some other excuse if mortals like them are capable of creating something close to gods it would be strange for me to keep asking "
" How about immortality " Code suggested " I a phoenix is already enough to stop her from asking " " Beautiful lands ? " Atheos asked " No their data have images of artworks that look even more beautiful than the god's realms " Ember replied with Code backing her up by showing images .
" Tsk I can't find out about anything " " How about their true names " Ember suggested " True names ? Right the gods are the only ones who figured out their true names humans can hardly have one , even if they do just thinking will make it harder to understand it "
" Then I'll go ask that the book talked about the god's names so it shouldn't be hard to form an excuse " " But how will you get close to the godless ? " Ember asked " Hmm for now clues should suffice , Plus the curse is fine it helps me hide my presence "
" About that " Ember and Atheos looked at Code " Sidra is planning to break it you know ? " " What ? How ? " " She broke all her contracts with her familiars who are close to gods , She's planning to use that as bait to bring them to help carry the burden of the curse "
" So that's why she went down ... But how come she is so unpredictable ? " " I don't know she makes decisions willy nilly " Code said which made Atheos wonder when Sidra's sudden change of decisions happen .
' Must be some realization after some thinking ' " Anyways now that I know what to do I should wait for her to get home " " What about me ? " Ember looked at Atheos and she took some time t think .
" Wait how should I act when she gets home " " There are some internet videos about the daily life of humans you can use that as reference " Code opened videos and Atheos decided to watch them .
...
" There really is a portal that broke out " Sidra parked her car and looked at the crowd ' Good thing they are evacuating the citizens ' she got a hat that looks like an admiral cap and puts it on " CALM DOWN , I got this " Sidra dodged under the ogre's body baiting its attention .
" Mom look it's Sidra " citizens watched as a giant monster fought a tall girl " Come here " she taunted the monster motioning with her hands ' I would like to aim for the eye like usual . '
She jumps on the number of cars that crashed together " Come here you idiot " she taunted him and grabs her sword whilst the ogre was walking slowly towards her to impose a giant shadow on her " That's right " she got her signature weapon a glass blade unsheathing it as her eyes were reflected on them .
" Hope you live a good life " like she thought the sword was slashed through the eyes ' Now for the legs ' she aimed for the legs and felt a club swiping at her ' That's what the cars are for ' she ducked between the gap feeling the air grab her hair and cap .
' I'll have to do this properly ' she turned to see some goblins coming out of the portal ' Yeah I have to do something don't I ? ' she jump to the car window and used the broken window as a platform and jumped out of the cars .
" Goodbye ogre " she crouched on the corner of a car and jumped to the ogre taking out a glass sickle and stabbing the stomach pulling it through the body ' Well now I can stab the heart much more easily '
the ogre fell with the pain trying to clench the muscles to seal the wound but lost the strength to carry itself and fell on its knees ' Goodbye ' she thrust the sword at the heart and watch it break ' Well it is made of glass '
but the sight of goblins fearing Sidra was caught by the media ' Well it is easy mode ' nearby rankers were looking very pissed at Sidra . They didn't like the idea of Sidra being the strongest since she has the biggest dojo , library , training center and etc .
They were all basically nurtured by Sidra's facilities as she dominated the fighter industries and even the tower . She was like everyone's role model but not everyone is satisfied , because her industry which accepts anyone even if they have all the faults of humanity can fight others .
So those who have skills don't essentially have an advantage since the teachers can't tell the difference between their skills and personal ability .
Sidra smiled and waved at the camera " Don't worry it will be safe I'll just push the goblins back to the portal " the goblins were already running back to the portal earning Sidra some free time .
" Looks like they did it on their own " she smiled and picked her cap off the ground " Sidra what would you like to say about your industries " " Come on nothing much happened back then you know and you reporters had already asked about that question a few days ago say something new "
The reporters backed off having their hands filled with the data of Sidra's quick victory over the ogre ' Hmm right I should find gods to take the toll on Theo's curse ' Sidra went to the location where Atheos was found via teleportation .
" Hello I need you to pick up my car and tell Theo I am going out for some time " she said on her phone sending the voice message to Code " but first to investigate her old orphanage "
...
" So mom is going to take a while till she gets home " " Atheos you don't say it like that say it simpler without "till" and change the "going to take a while" to something like "going to be late" "
" Learning to act like a child is hard " " Don't you want to know where she is ? " " Ahm where is she ? " " That's how you do it " Ember said " She is in the dungeon where she found you to investigate your old orphanage "
" Can't she use you to find out ? " Ember asked " She doesn't trust me " Code said dejected " Then which orphanage did this body come from " " I'll check but it will take a while , the tower system has been with this world for a long time "
" Wait tell me about this world and where she came from " " I don't know she just appeared in this world out of thin air and was already equipped with much knowledge and experience " " Okay you can go find the information about this body it might be best to know her motives "
" She just wants to destroy and remodel the orphanage " Ember answered " How do you know ? " " That's what she did first and everyone stopped praying to whatever ignorant gods out there which enabled the gods to abandon this planet which attracted many god slayers to hide here "
" Then this is a much more suitable settlement to hide and find how to fight the gods with the curse then " " Well not really fight would be an overstatement since Sidra can beat anyone since she can control her curse she just doesn't do it as she live streams all her fights to prove that anyone can do what she can do with experience and knowledge . "
" Okay , then can I ask her to teach me how to control it then ? " " Not sure , but you need a valid reason for it " Code came back with the info on Atheos's body information " Uhm you came from plenty of years ago an orphanage that was already gone "
" What ? " Atheos looked shocked at the screen .
