The Fox Goddess

"Well, aren't you generous today, Fubuki? Those rewards might be helpful to me in the future. Especially those Demon Awakening Pills and Angel Awakening Pills that I have previously gotten." Yuki chuckled softly as she stopped what she was doing and began to organize her inventory in the System. As she was browsing all of her current Items she saw an item that had been piled up and almost forgotten.

"I'm still young, but why did I forget to upgrade my Flute?" Yuki signed inwardly, she cursed herself for being forgetful. She then took out the same Flute that was used to make Aika, her face was unreadable as it had no emotion. But Yuki knows herself better, she feels complicated, because she still hasn't had the chance to see her cute daughter for a few weeks already.

As she held the Flute in her hands, she couldn't help herself but play a short song. The song that she played is one of Aika's favorites to listen to at night as it was one of Yuki's lullabies. Yuki's soft and melodic Flute playing has reached all of her Staff's ears, but they don't know who can play such an amazing song. They were even depressed when they heard it stop after a few seconds.

Ding!

[The user is going to use the item Weapon Upgrader, and Tier Upgrader to Fairy Saintess Flute (Green). Yes/No.] Fubuki asked for Yuki's confirmation if she wants to use her two precious Items on the flute, but Yuki didn't even hesitate for one second and clicked yes.

Soon after, Yuki's office was enveloped with a bright light that would make one's eyes shut because of how bright it is. But Yuki was nonchalant about the situation and just waited until the upgrading of the Flute was done. Fortunately, Yuki didn't have to wait for such a long time as it only took a few seconds before the blinding lights vanished, and getting herself a notification saying the upgrading process was done.

Fairy's Requiem - The Flute will unleash a strong blast made out of Music that will injure all of the user's desired enemies, the injury that they would receive is not a simple one as it would destroy everything inside of their body. The enemy would also be rooted to the ground for 2 minutes, will feel nauseous, and will have illusions.

Passive -

Saintess Song - If anyone heard the music coming from the Flute, they would receive a boost of strength as long as they are pure-hearted people. But if an evil creature has heard the song, it will bring them pain, and make them lock them in place. As long as the Flute is playing, the effects of the Passive remain.

"That's a good upgrade." Yuki laughed a little bit as she looked at the Flute in her hand once again. It has gotten much cleaner and clearer, the Flute has become more beautiful in Yuki's hands. Once it was fully done, Yuki placed the Fairy Saintess Flue back into her System Inventory once again, now that it was done she can place her focus back on her plan.

Now that the System has given her the rewards of the Task, Yuki already knew that she accomplished it, but she found that something was wrong. Even if all of the current Leaders of each Country have surrendered to her, the people don't recognize her as the Earth's only leader.

So Yuki has to make some plans once again to make sure everyone knows and acknowledges her as Earth's leader and that is by force, and fear. She doesn't believe that treating your own Country or land with kindness would work because they would see you as a weak leader. She doesn't care what others would think of her if she ruled Earth as she plans to since she would leave here eventually to let them fend for themselves, but considering the battle that was about to begin, the Earth might not exist anymore after the battle.

Ding!

[The Trial will now undergo its second phase, the System would give the host one day to prepare for the battle between her and the Ancient Gods of Japan.] Fubuki's robotic voice rang inside her head and she then saw a timer above her System interface.

But before she could comment on it, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared in front of her. She was wearing some ancient Japanese clothes and was holding a fan in one of her hands to cover half of her face. The woman suddenly talked, her voice was very calming and gentle which would make one believe what she said. But she has an imposing aura that would make one kneel at her and give her respect, perhaps it was the aura of a Ruler.

"So you are Yuki huh… The person who took the Trial that Izanami created. You are pretty young but your strength is absurd, especially your System, it's very interesting." The woman chuckled as she looked at Yuki who still had a calm gaze.

"So I'm guessing you are Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun? Well, it doesn't matter who you are, but why did the Goddess of the Sun decide to visit a mere Fox Mortal?" Yuki stood up and faced Amaterasu without fear on her face, she was still calm as ever. But for some reason, she was suppressing the Goddess alone with her natural Aura that exhibits coldness and arrogance.

Amaterasu's height was normal for a woman, only reaching 160 cm. But compared to Yuki's height, who has gotten taller again because of her Evolution to Star-Lord Beast, it was now about 2.5 meters, but Amaterasu quickly got her composure and only smiled at Yuki while looking up to see her face. She was shocked to see how beautiful Yuki is even though she is only a Star Lord Beast, her beauty is already comparable to some Lower Gods.

"Nothing, I just want to see how the Challenger is doing. But from the looks of it, it's not needed anymore. You are different, only a Star Lord Beast but your Strength is already reaching the heights of a Spirit Beast." Amaterasu laughed lightly, it sounded beautiful to anyone's ears except for the person who was standing in front of her.

"Let's not be dumb, just quickly say what you want to say. I'm very busy." Yuki clicked her tongue in annoyance, her killing intent slowly oozing out, but seeing that Amaterasu was not affected by it she just waited for her to answer.

"You are interesting. Alright then, I want to propose an alliance with you for the upcoming battle." Amaterasu said with a smile, but she didn't expect Yuki's answer.

"Why? You are my enemy and you want to enter an alliance? What are you planning, Goddess of the Sun?" Yuki didn't agree to Amaterasu's shock. There was probably no being in the Mortal Realm that would reject her. She is one of the most beautiful and influential Gods out there in the Mortal Realm.

"Hahaha… You are one interesting fellow. It's good that you are not like that Sly Fox." Amaterasu chuckled, her view of Yuki only rising as she was talking to her.

"Inari, I'm guessing? So what is your true plan, why do you want to have an alliance with me?" Yuki felt that their conversation was getting longer, she was getting more impatient by the second.

"Don't be too impatient. I want to have an alliance with you because I don't want to die. In this battle, only one can escape victoriously, meaning the other side will have to die for you to win, and that includes me. But I don't want that to happen. Also, I want you to kill both of my parents." Amaterasu explained slowly.

"You said it yourself right? There can be only one winner in this battle, so how are you going to escape that?" Yuki asked another question.

"For that, I'm willing to sign a contract with you, this way I will be under you, leaving me with the chance to survive." Amaterasu lowered herself even more even though she was a God, making Yuki raise an eyebrow in suspicion.

"I know that you are not telling me everything, so why don't you be a good little girl and tell me everything." Yuki's impatience finally snapped, she then held Amaterasu's chin and forced her to look her straight in the eyes. Yuki has no fear even if she was holding a God right now.

"Uhhh… Can you- you let me go- go first?" Amaterasu who had a calm demeanor before has now collapsed under Yuki's suppression, her heart started beating faster and faster. Yuki clicked her tongue and finally let go of Amaterasu's chin and sat down on the sofa nearby and waited for her to answer. It took Amaterasu a few seconds before she calmed down.

"Alright, I'll tell you everything…" Amaterasu took a deep breath and finally explained.
