《Master of Cards. *Reborn*》Chapter 10 : More than nothing.

Kael took his seat in front of Lucius.
"Lucius. I'm guessing a lot of things went wrong here." Lucius nodded to Kael.
"Very much so. You've slain 500 Gods that tried to pull the stunt in the last one. A total of roughly more or less 2 thousand Gods slain by your hand but let's forget the kill count. Looks like there's more at play here than what I'd expected Kael.It's not another armageddon. It's a major malfunction. If you knew how messy this place's organization was. You'd seriously want to just kill all of us." Lucius said.
"How bad is it?" Kael's question had Lucius letting out the deepest sigh Kael has ever heard. If that sigh were to be translated on earth, it would mean an entire ocean would be flying into the atmosphere.
"Kael. Some of the Angels and Demons... Actually opened a file that caused the weapons you've sealed away to reappear. That and another demon actually found the Earth's supernatural seal to be in a sorry state. It can break in one or two years. So I'm giving you back your powers, including the power to reseal weapons according to your wishes. You also can use magic to tame the beasts be it Demonic or Divine to aid you on your quest. Again Kael. I would apologize. I'm trying to sort out the problems on my end but it seems to be never ending. You can hear the screams of all the Gods, the Angels and Demons who are... Peculiar." Lucius said as he snapped his fingers, showing the other Gods who were hard at work with documents. The angels that was helping the gods of law and neutrality. The demons helping the gods of chaos.
"Ah, finally we have some order in hell. I wished the God of Destruction became the Supreme God a long time ago. See now we have documentation, we have proper protocol before we do anything stupid. We also have emissaries that are trying to retrieve certain missing artifacts." Lucius was drinking his tea ended up spitting it out to the side at that sound.
"Did you hear artifacts?" Keal nodded, seeing Lucius who smacked his own face with the glass. If the phrase 'I am so done' was a God. It would be Lucius.
"Heavens and Hells are so fucking incompetent. They don't even keep track of missing items and missing artifacts. At least all the ones that could start armageddon are all accounted for but still. It's a.."
"It's an artifact. When used by humans it can be used to be the worst thing possible because they don't realize how twisted the artifact's nature is." Kael said it with a tired expression.

"If more humans were as sensible as you are. We wouldn't be in a bind like this. I can keep the earth from exploding or heading into another armageddon. But I can't stop anything that is already there. I've set special rules on earth that if something is already there, you cannot take it out. The many beasts move around freely, one that you know. The Sky Lord, Veriskua the Iron Dragon. The beasts are there as a result of the seal being damaged. Even the ones from the many other lives you lived.. Especially on the many alternate worlds that you have seen which has magic... Some beasts have found their way there. I've managed to keep things like Orcs, goblins and such out. But the beasts... They were a bit tedious to deal with and the Gods that reside those worlds... Are doing a bang up job of keeping them out." Lucius was definitely tired.
"This is selfish of us to ask a mere human to clean up the mess. An Avatar of Destruction who must protect others by destroying. How ironic is that?" Lucius asked.
"Says the former God of Destruction that brought order and bureaucracy to the realm of Gods. We both are ironic in our right." Lucius smiled.
"Your old armors. The three Smithing Gods decided to fix up your gear. You're going to need it." Kael watched as the items flew into his body they merged with his current gear on hand.
"You got your cards with you?" Kael showed the deck of cards that he had. Where they had a white base with black and red colours depending on the suit.
"They seem to be a tad bit weaker before. Let me fix that." The card's base turned to black with white markings. The cards feature white roses by the sides of the card.
"I've removed the restrictions. So you can use any card however you wish. They do have their strengths and weaknesses. It is up to you how you use it. Oh and your mask... You need to wear something fitting as my Avatar..." The skull mask that Kael had worn transfigured into a black ram skull mask.
"How you accomplish your tasks is up to you. Or if you just want to let humans destroy themselves. By all means. No armageddon or any sort of interdimensional bullshit to mess with your plans. You just have to get ready for a fight." Kael nodded as he put on the skull mask. Forming his Master of Cards attire.
"There's also this deck. The Tarot deck. It's mainly use for conjuring elements if you wish. The minors help out with setting intensity and purpose. The majors are for stronger spells that you want to unleash and of varying gratitude. Each of the Tarot card had skeletons on its design, befitting the God of Destruction's Avatar.

"I'll be off then. I'll comeback if I need guidance." Kael said as Lucius nodded.
Kael returned back to the real world, it was already morning. Kael scratched his head, this was a disaster. A very big disaster. Hearing a loud scream. Kael stepped out of the room. Seeing Ice Reaper just leaning to the wall in a pale blue suit, Black Ivy wearin a pair of jeans and a punk jacket.Viento wearing a green shirt and matching pants while Blitzer was wearing a normal teeshirt, slim fit jeans with the multiple piercings over his face.
Then he could see his family being afraid.
"Mom, dad... Jenny, Ren. You might want to sit down for this." Kael said as they sat down.
"There's something I need to do and it's not going to be easy. I'm thinking about traveling somewhere for a while. The ones that are standing behind me? Think of them as your protectors and bodyguards while I'm gone. This traveling business is going to require me to do some heavy stuff. The kind that deals with supernatural things." Kael said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Kael did you say the supernatural? It doesn't exist right?" His mother was skeptical. Kael let out a sigh, then he snapped his fingers. They see his left hand that was burning a black flame.
"Magic exists. Supernatural stuff exists and these four behind me. They are part of the Supernatural. Living Weapons. They have personality and they talk. Right now, they're being visible to you. T-" another figure appeared, taking a seat beside Kael. It was Nelista in the black suit.
"Oh. Hi."
"So did you talk to your god?"
"Yeah. All armageddon tools area accounted for. So this is my family." Kael introduced.
"Hello." Nelista greeted with a bored expression.
"He's a demon. A demon lord. He's fine, he won't make a mess. Right?" Kael's question for assurance was met with a nod.
"He's a demon lord? He looks human." Lloyd said only to see Nelista remove his face. Then they see the black void in it, along with the 10 eyes that was inside. Nelista put on his face back on.
"Normally if humans saw that, their heads explode. Only reason why your heads did not go splat like a watermelon to a baseball bat. Is because your son was able to maintain your sanity." Lloyd and Miriam were about to faint.
"Nelista. Mind staying over here to help my family? Be their butler or something?"
"If some other human said that to me. I'd have their heads blown off. Just be glad that it's you, Kael." Nelista snapped his fingers as he wore a footman's uniform.
"Good. Ren, Jenny. I know you're being bullied at school. It's okay to just tell me. If they hit you. Just hit them back. If they want to cause trouble and bring mom and dad into it? Just tell mom and dad to call Patriarch Webster, and talk to Patriarch Flare. Okay?" They both nodded.
"Kael... Just how did you get close to Patriarch Flare?" Lloyd asked.
"Patriarch Flare was going to go save his son and his son's wife. I met them at the subway station, people were attacking them. I joined to stop the fight. Then he told me that his family was in danger. And honestly, I couldn't turn them down. So I helped him. Then the other day someone attacked him and tried to hurt his grand daughter. So I helped him again too. Then I rescued Blake Summers, that's how Mister Summers helped organize that gala for your works. The people there?Investors who he filtered out that actually wanted to help you. He already knows I can't stand when people who have bad intentions deal with my family." Lloyd was unsure of what to say and he turned to Miriam who was worried.
"Mister Webster and Misses Dorris. Take my advice. Your son can take care of himself but you lot? You need extra protection. That's where those Living Weapons come in." Nelista said as Kael got up.
"Hey Kael. You just gonna bring the 5 of them?" Nelista asked.
"They're more than enough. You know that." Kael said where Nelista nodded.
"You can leave the other weapons here too. You'll definitely need space." Nelista said as Kael pulled out a metal box from his chest. Then placing it down.
"Ice Reaper. You lead them."
"As you command, Master Kael." The voices echoed all over the room. Kael left the house first, there was no need to explain furhter. Nelista can deal with it, Kael can't give them too much information or they'll become targets. The first thing Kael had to do is find the Metropolis that had Black Symphony's sister.
"I might have to let you all let loose at some point. When I do.Put on your armors" Kael said where he could hear the 5 of them chuckle.
"Oh master, you shouldn't tease us like that." Baihua said.
"Just say things like that, and you really want to let us destroy everything, now don't you?" Kael smiled at hearing Ga-eul's words.
"Some days. It does make me think the human race has no hope." Kael answered.
