Tyranny Of Steel

Chapter 854 One Last Question...

Light shone through the darkness within the divine domain that belonged to the ancient egyptian god of the underworld. The Jackal headed god, and the German Monarch stood beside one another in silence as they gazed towards the entrance of the pyramid, which acted as the barrier to the heavenly realm. With a heavy sigh, Berengar revealed that the time for his departure had come.

"I must say, this was a more pleasant experience than the last deity I came into contact with, but I'm afraid I have much work to do, and am thus forced to leave you behind. Before I go, I just have one last question, if you don't mind answering?"

Anubis gazed down at the mortal man standing by his side. Though Berengar was tall for a human being, when compared to the ancient deity, he was but a child in stature. Perhaps the jackal-headed god would have found this truth to be amusing in the past, but Berengar had clearly shown that he was capable for a mortal, and for that, Anubis had nothing but respect for the man. Thus, it came as no surprise when he nodded his head in agreement.

"Very well. I suppose I owe you at least this much. Ask away, and if it is within my power to answer, I shall tell you."

Upon seeing that Anubis had agreed to his request, Berengar did not hesitate to ask the question that had been burning a hole in his mind for some time now.

"What do you know about the other? The other reincarnator, that is. I don't expect you to know much, but based upon my experiences with deities, you all seem to have some form of communication with each other."

It slightly surprised Anubis when he heard this question. He could only scoff in disbelief. Ever since Berengar had first step foot into his divine domain, the man had constantly shocked him with his performance and knowledge. When the jackal-headed god actually thought about it, it was not surprising that Berengar knew about Itami.

However, this put Anubis in a difficult spot, for starters he did not know much about Itami to begin with, but even if he did, it wasn't his place to inform a mortal about her existence, thus he tried his best to figure out just how much Berengar knew about this topic before answering.

"I will answer this question to the best of my ability on one condition. You must first tell me what you know of the woman?"

Unknowingly, Anubis gave Berengar a huge hint. Though Itami Riyo ruled over the Empire of Japan in this timeline, Berengar had no concrete proof that she herself was the reincarnator. In fact, he had considered the possibility that she was a mere puppet for his actual rival. Thus, he deliberately responded to Anubis' question in a vague manner.

"I don't know much. What I can tell you is that seemingly out of nowhere, an Empire has risen on the other side of the world that should not exist in this time period. Normally I would consider this a minor difference in this world from the one I came from. However, this Empire has access to technology that nobody in this world possesses besides myself.

I also know that this reincarnator presents a threat to my Empire, and the Dynasty which I have built. They have challenged me in India, an action I am still preparing to respond to. Needless to say, if she wins in the upcoming war between us, I won't be able to fulfill my promise. Thus, it is in both of our best interests to cooperate and share our knowledge on this common enemy."

Berengar had put the Anubis into a figurative checkmate. By exposing the fact that Itami posed a genuine threat to the deal that they had just made, he forced Anubis to reveal information he would not otherwise leak. In fact, Berengar could even witness the frustration on Anubis's jackal-like face as the God wrestled with the fact that a mere mortal had played him. After a fierce roar, Anubis broke down and revealed everything he knew to Berengar.

"You unscrupulous cunt. I have to admit that I severely underestimated you and your ability to manipulate others. I will suffer this loss just once. If anyone dares complain, I will simply put the blame on Odin and those Japanese bastards for throwing all of our conventions out the window in the first place!

In truth, I honestly don't know much about the girl. What I know is that the gods who have brought her into this world have likely abandoned her. Those of us who have mortal descendents often go through great lengths to protect them, and this little bitch slaughtered Amaterasu's divine lineage before naming herself Empress.

So, at the very least, you can rest easy knowing that divine intervention in your little conflict will not happen. Aside from that, there are complaints she is too stubborn and prideful. So much so that she refuses to get married until a man defeats her on the battlefield.

Which is a shame, because the way the Japanese gods speak of her, you would think she was the incarnation of physical beauty. More than one of those cunts wants to create a little Demi-god with her."

While Berengar was initially content with just hearing this information, he immediately thought of something upon hearing the conclusion to Anubis's statement, and was quick to inquire about it

"You mean to tell me that Demi-gods are an actual thing?"

Anubis did not fully understand Berengar's intent behind this question and, thus, quickly nodded his head before speaking further about the topic.

"Of course they are a thing, not so much anymore. However, in the past, it was not uncommon for gods to choose the most beautiful mortal women for a one-night stand. Sometimes those encounters resulted in a pregnancy. However, after the whole debacle with the Abrahamic God's son, there was a tacit understanding between the various pantheons that it was best not to risk such a thing.

So don't worry, those Japanese bastards may have broken the rules by bringing this woman into the world, but I doubt they would go so far as to create an actual Demi-god with her, even if they might desire to."

Berengar thought about this and nodded his head several times. He had encountered more than one beautiful goddess since he reincarnated into this world. Though he had thought about sleeping with some of them. He never actually considered the possibility of fathering a Demi-god. Thus, before departing from Anubis' divine domain, Berengar decided to have one last joke at the deity's expense.

"I see... So, can you introduce me to Hathor by any chance?"

This question baffled Anubis. Not understanding Berengar's intent behind it, he tried to explain, logically, and rationally, why such an encounter was unlikely.

"I'm sorry, but she is in a worse state than I am at the moment. As a god of the underworld, I still have access to the souls of our believers, and can thus gain power from them. A goddess of beauty and fertility who is no longer worshiped is like a wilting flower. I doubt she has the strength to see you. Besides, why would you want to meet a goddess of beauty when you-"

It was at this moment that Anubis put two and two together, and realized that Berengar was asking the jackal headed god to hook him up with some divine pussy. His expression was priceless, so much so that Berengar almost couldn't contain his laughter. In the end, Anubis cast Berengar out of the tomb in a fit of fury, not willing to entertain his shenanigans any longer.

Before Berengar could even apologize for making such a shameful request, he found himself standing on the other end of the entrance of the Great Pyramid of Giza, behind his soldiers who were preparing to blast the entry way open with a massive supply of TNT. Adelbrand was screaming at the entranceway as loud as he could while he stacked the TNT around the doorway, hoping that Berengar could hear him within the tomb.

"Don't worry Berengar, I'm coming to get you! I won't let you die alone in there!"

When Berengar saw how desperate his jaegers were, he couldn't help himself but to break out in laughter.

"What the fuck are you stupid cunts doing? Do you really think TNT is going to break down the barrier to a divine domain?"

Upon hearing these harsh words, and the sound of laughter come from behind them, Adelbrand, along with the German Jaegers, gazed in shock at their Kaiser. The first thing that was notable about his appearance was the lack of his signature eyepatch, instead the man now had a golden eye in place of his previously blind one.

Adelbrand rushed over to Berengar and grabbed onto his face, without any thoughts towards his actions, as he closely observed the brand new golden iris before questioning if the man was really standing in front of him.

"Berengar? My Kaiser, is it really you?"

Berengar responded to this incident with a frown on his handsome face, before pushing his Field Marshal away rather violently.

"Yes, it's me, you dumbass. Who the hell gave you permission to touch my face, anyway?"

Though it felt like hours had passed to Berengar as he fulfilled the Trials of Anubis and claimed his prize. In the mortal world, only a few minutes had occurred since the party was separated. Long enough for them to stack TNT in a desperate attempt to force their way back into the divine domain of the egyptian god of the underworld. Thus, they could only stand in disbelief at the sight of their Kaiser, returned to them, and in better condition than before.
