Chapter 187:

Senvoinian Legends #2: Abyss Tamer (Part 1)

Project: INFERNO


(As all forces returned to their respective realms, Shibuto was stationed and living with the Dynnael and Choryrth in the Dragon Realm, but given an Earth styled home for his own comfortable living conditions. Inside the modern Japanese home resting inside a cave, Shibuto was staring at a mirror as he examined the size and print Sawano left on Shibuto's face as he keeps it as a reminder for mental discipline.)

"Shibuto: ...It hurts."
"Choryrth: Hey, Shibuto! You got a visitor!"
"Shibuto: Already? Who could it be?"

(As Shibuto walked downstairs to answer the door, he'd then noticed it was Onara at the door. With a shock of surprise, Onara rushed in and hugged Shibuto tightly as she secretly missed him very much.)

"Onara: ..."
"Shibuto: ...O-Onara..."
"Onara: We need to talk."
"Shibuto: ...?"

(As the two sits down, Onara sat in silence before opening her eyes to reveal her white solar pupils from a recent awakening.)

"Onara: Shibuto, my sweet... There's an update on Goxius' location."
"Shibuto: ...?!! You found him?! Where is he..?!"
"Onara: ...The Unseen Abyss, located directly under Purgatory."
"Shibuto: ...Wait... Why is he all the way down there...?"
"Onara: I'm not sure. But nonetheless, it's impossible for even the strong to venture into Purgatory's Abyss. You'd need to commit a grand sin in order to even be sent down there. If I had to guess Goxius' sin, it was allowing Gaito to travel into the forbidden time period."
"Shibuto: ...Really..? You mean.. Khomat versus Dynnael, right...?"
"Onara: Mhm. And unironically, despite everything everyone so far has done, the only person who's committed a grand sin is Sawano. He's cheated Death more than twice and the way he's becoming stronger with and without Unholy Inferno is also violation of the Unspoken Ethical Element Code."
"Shibuto: That existed?! Wait, how do you know all of this?"
"Onara: During my absence and my break from my goddess work in the Void Realm, I was hanging out with Xinera, my intentions were to cheer her up. I stepped away for a moment until I met Ikehara."
"Shibuto: The King Of The Void?!"
"Onara: He's done some digging and you're the only person who'll know this but, without Goxius, we can't win whatsoever. Even if we have all the help needed, we still can't."
"Shibuto: Onara, you're kidding me right...?"
"Onara: A little. But I'm serious when we need Goxius, he's the only one that can nullify Knitemare tampering with everyone's fates."
"Shibuto: But how can we get down there? Sawano once again sealed himself away until he's ready to come out."
"Onara: We need someone who's committed a grand sin but is able to walk in and leave the Unseen Abyss whenever they feel like it."

(With the two thinking, Shibuto immediately sparked a thought of someone and began to make a call to the Beast Realm.)

"Shibuto (Divine COM): Khomat! This is Shibuto speaking, can you hear me?"
"Khomat: ..."
"Shibuto: Lord Khomat, are you there?"
"Khomat (Divine COM): That's much better, what do you need kid?"
"Shibuto: Lord Khomat, there's something I'd like to ask you. Is there any other alternative way into The Unseen Abyss?"
"Khomat: ...Where the hell did you get that kind of question from?"
"Shibuto: To make a long story short, Ikehara's done some digging."

(Onara then nodded as she looked at Shibuto, furthering her trust to Khomat as well to know about the information.)

"Onara: You can tell him."
"Shibuto: Ikehara's found out that Goxius is trapped in the Unseen Abyss."
"Khomat: ...So that's why the Time Realm's still active."
"Shibuto: Huh...?"
"Khomat: When Kazuya and Knitemare attacked the Time Realm, Goxius must've been spared by the Elder Guardians but was forced to serve a sentence within the Unseen Abyss. The grandest of sinners is allowed down there and there are 6 grand sinners to my knowledge, me being one of them of course.."
"Shibuto: Who are the other 5 sinners..?"
"Khomat: I'm only aware of two of them. One of the newest recent sinner is Milo The Clown for obtaining power that is far beyond the human limitations without approval of the Gods and the other is Aimiya Magachi, Gaito's Master."
"Shibuto & Onara: ...?!"
"Khomat: If I remember correctly, Aimiya's currently in New Olympus finishing up a trial as we speak. If you two can catch him, you'll be able to ask if he'll go with you."
"Shibuto: I'll go."
"Onara: Are you positive Shibuto? Those who has ventured into the Unseen Abyss doesn't really return."
"Shibuto: I'll take my chances."
"Khomat: Then it's settled."

(As Khomat then immediately hangs up, Shibuto then generates a portal to New Olympus.)

"Onara: You'll be safe, right?"
"Shibuto: I will. I promise I'll be back."
"Onara: ...Okay."

(With the two exchanging one heartfelt hug and a quick kiss, Shibuto then walks through the portal as Onara sighed, hiding the fact she missed him once more. With the change of time speed, Shibuto arrives in New Olympus and with an amazed gaze, glances at everything in sight. Venturing through the crowded areas, Shibuto then locates the Divine Court of Olympus, noticing Aimiya at the very entrance conversating with the Goddess of Justice in Japanese Mythology, Amaterasu.)

"Aimiya: Sooner or later, we'll need to think of the proper punishment for Kazuya once he's turned in."
"Amaterasu (Goddess Of Divine Justice | Japanese Mythology): In due time, Lord Aimiya. Hm? Is that one of your companions over there?"
"Aimiya: Huh? Oh! Shibuto, how's it going lad?"
"Shibuto: It's going quite well at the very moment. I didn't want to interrupt you two so I let you two continue conversating."
"Aimiya: Oh no worries, we finished up sentencing for one of Kazuya's henchmen Sawano brought in. This fine woman next to me is Miss Amaterasu, the Eastern Goddess of Divine Justice."
"Shibuto: I've heard of your many feats in battle, Lord Amaterasu."
"Amaterasu: Hehe! Quite the young man you are, Young Shibuto. Seems like Gaito's genetics weren't a joke after all, he did create such charming offspring!"
"Shibuto: Ehehe... Well actually, while I have you here Aimiya, I actually have something to ask you."
"Aimiya: What's that?"
"Shibuto: So you guys are aware that Goxius has been missing for some time now right?
"Aimiya: Agh... Don't tell me, he's locked in the Unseen Abyss?"
"Shibuto: Y-You knew?"
"Amaterasu: Guilty as charged, we both knew actually. We were actually discussing an action plan moments ago for the Unseen Abyss."
"Shibuto: That's great then..! Should we talk somewhere else so we can actually go through what we know?
"Aimiya: Meet us in front of the New Olympian Library an hour from now, we'll need to make some arrangements. But in the meantime, find two people you find strong enough to handle the dark vacuums of space."
"Shibuto: I'm on it!"

(With the three then separating, Shibuto warps through a portal back to the Dragon Realm, returning inside his home as he then begins to skim through his Divine Communicator, thinking through on who he could call that is powerful enough to survive the harshest conditions of space without issue.)
