Nu:Carnival Huey Theory After that shipwreck of Chapter 15

I'm gonna say this now, I don't think Huey will be an evil character, he may not even be bad/malicious, he just..... a depressed & detached-from-the-world old man that is too powerful for his own good. So much so, that his un-alive attempt unfortunately cause the whole world to end

Like, imagine being stuck in the same role for 5+ centuries, cause the moment you leave, everyone that depend on you died. I imagine Huey right now is basically Kuya before he met Eiden, but 2000 times older & bored with life.

And so, my theory is that Huey found that neon gemstone, or he found the 'secret' behind Klein world causing him to just, "fuck this, I quit" and for failsave, he created the 'twins' Eiden & Rin. Eiden supposed to maintain the world in his place & Rin supposed to guard his 'coffin'

It's jsut that somehow, Rin became corrupted, either because of the dark power behind the reason for dead zone (evil god power? Death energy? Bad spirits mayhem?) Or because he was captured & experimented by Rei's ex-dark wizard club, twisting his protective instinct into yandere love.

As for why Eiden is in another world, there are few possibility, like

Huey sent him to another world to grow beyond Klein's politics & so no one can use him before the "right time"

an incident occurs with Rin while they were little, causing Eiden to be transported to another world while Rin's magic goes haywire

Anyway, Huey probably prepare a test for Eiden. When he can maintain all 5 altars, that's when Eiden officially became the new Grand Sorcerer while Huey's life dissappear. However, there's probably a catch because Rin insist to "protect" Eiden. Like, maybe Eiden will be cursed with immortality so he will maintain the altars forever? Or they will stole his emotions so Eiden will only know his duty like Huey?

This makes it make sense why Morvay choose to reluctantly works with Rin. He doesn't want Huey to died, & he also doesn't want Eiden to carry such "burden". It's just he's torn on either respect Huey's wishes and let his new master suffer, or to save 2 of his most important people and consequently fuck the rest of the world.

Neon Carnival Seiyuu Talk Rough Translation!

Ei, tem uma versão em português dessa tradução, viu?

Hey guys! Neon Carnival, the Nu Carnival anniversary live, was a while ago and we had the pleasure of seeing Eiden’s seiyuu, Netoru Irakusa, and Olivine’s seiyuu, One Night Love. They bantered and answered some game related questions and it was generally a lot of fun!

My japanese is far from perfect, but I tried my best in providing a rough translation of the bit below. Please keep in mind my lack of fluency, therefore, the translation might not be extremely accurate! There’s a fair bit of guesswork through context, so please be considerate and if you spot mistakes you’re free to message me to fix them.

I refer to this translation by idololivine a lot for this. They translated from the chinese live translation of this and the host comments. Everytime I mention something the host said, it is taken directly from their translation, so please be sure to check their work out!

With that, let’s get to it!

Seiyuus come on stage in very high spirits, especially Netoru. Netoru wears a Topper mask and One Night Love wears a plague doctor mask (it’s kind of his thing, part of his persona). One Night greets the audience in Olivine’s voice and is pleased by their energetic reaction to it. Netoru repeats everything One Night says in an exaggerated impression of Olivine’s voice and mannerisms lol

One Night mentions how nice it is to see everyone with their Topper lights. Netoru questions why nobody gave him one and One Night replies with “well, why didn’t you bring your own?” Netoru then says, desperately, “NOBODY TOLD ME TO BRING ANYTHING?!” One Night says they might have gotten him mixed up with Topper himself.

Netoru greets the audience in various languages, ending with an enthusiastic hello in chinese. I felt especially close to this crowd as they cheered excitedly at a sub celebrity saying one basic word in their mother tongue (I’m from Latin America). After that, both seiyuus thank the audience, wish for everyone to have a good time and properly introduce themselves.

The host asks if they’ve ever been to Taiwan before. Netoru says that this is actually his first time leaving the country! One Night asks the audience what time they think they got up that morning and here I would like to give a shoutout to the people that raise their hands IN A HANG LOOSE like yeah dude. Yeah. EDIT: Apparently, this hand gesture means SIX in Taiwan/China WOW I would’ve never guessed!! They’re trying to guess they slept six hours! Thanks to idololivine again!

Anyway, Netoru says they got up at 5AM and went on a WALK (cute), but Netoru specifies that they didn’t go TOGETHER (god forbid anyone thinks you’re doing gay shit), it was mostly them mentioning to each other they each had places they wanted to check out and then they both went their own separate ways. They didn’t even know the other was walking around the same area lol (brave, I’d never do that in an unknown country). Netoru then mentions that everyone in Taiwan is kind and the food is tasty, there’s a lot he still wants to see but they don’t have a lot of time so he wishes he could come back someday.

Then there’s a moment of silence as the translator reminds One Night it’s his turn to speak.

One Night: “AH ………… what was the question again?”

Netoru: “??? DON’T YOU HAVE THE PROGRAMMING WITH YOU?”

AND EVEN THOUGH ONE NIGHT CHECKS HIS NOTES HE STILL NEEDS HELP FINDING WHERE THEY’RE AT I SWEAR. SMOOTH BRAIN MOMENT.

One Night: “It’s also my first time abroad. The food’s really good. When I got here, I thought ‘man, I wanna eat [dishes I don’t know]’, but now that I’ve actually eaten them I don’t really know what to do…”

The crowd starts screaming suggestions. Some yell TAPIOCA and Netoru mentions he’s had it! They do a little bit of encouraging the audience to give them more suggestions and then end with “yeah, I didn’t understand any of that” lmao. They banter a bit more about food.

QUESTION: What was your first impression of your character?

Netoru says he was really surprised to see that the clothes get ripped off as they take damage (this fucking SHOOK him, I swear, he said the same thing during the Eiden birthday QnA). Netoru does some BAAANG sound effects to exemplify what he means and One Night looks at him and goes “what was that?”, so Netoru repeats his BAANG and One Night GETS UP AND SHEDS HIS EIDEN JACKET, REVEALING HE IS ALSO WEARING THE NEON CARNIVAL COMMEMORATIVE T-SHIRT. Then Netoru gets up himself and TOUCHES ONE NIGHT’S CHEST, LIKE THAT’S SOMETHING PEOPLE JUST DO.

One Night shows off the shirt again and says it looks great.

Netoru: “You wanna take your clothes off this bad?”

One Night: “No no… it’s a bit chilly here :)”

Netoru continues, saying when he got the role for Eiden he was initially nervous about playing a guy so laid back and friendly (Netoru mentioned in the Eiden birthday QnA that he’s used to playing darker, moodier characters, so he was surprised to get one that, despite his sad past, is still really optimistic). The host tells Netoru that he’s quite cheery and friendly and Netoru says he’s feeling happy to be here. Netoru ends by saying that, despite it making him nervous initially, he considers this optimism a charming point to Eiden, which One Night agrees with.

The translator asks the same of One Night and I swear the ENERGY emanating from this scene as One Night crosses his leg like a Drag Race judge about to read a competitor to filth and going “OLIVINE NEEEEEEEEE” as the translator mimics his EXACT TONE. PRICELESS STUFF.

One Night: “When I saw him for the first time, what I thought- and I imagine I share this sentiment with many of you - was ‘what the hell is that SSR outfittttt???’”

Netoru: “IS THAT- IS THAT WHY YOU WANTED TO TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF JUST NOW?”

One Night: “NO NO NO. DON’T RUIN MY IMAGE LIKE THAT.”

Netoru keeps teasing One Night, encouraging him to get naked and One Night still refuses like NO DUDE STOP IT. They eventually joke around that One Night could do that as training for his role.

One Night says that Olivine is also very endearing and kind, so he was also concerned about portraying that.

One Night: “Also… when I was recording for the main story scenes, right? I thought well, this game… this video-game… it has a lot of sex scenes, right?! So when I recorded the initial Olivine scene I… kinda overdid it. I was thinking ‘wow, how are they gonna match THAT up with Eiden-kun?’ So that was interesting” (One Night refers to the scene as “kagami no shiin” which would be “the mirror scene” but… none of Olivine’s scenes feature a mirror? So… Idk if this is slang or something…)

Netoru: “... We could try it out right now”

One Night: “Oh yeah? Can we?”

Netoru: “NO NO NO, people will get mad if we do”

QUESTION: Throughout this one year, was there any event that was especially memorable to you?

Netoru says he was really surprised about Eiden’s event (I assume he means the one that gave Eiden an SSR), because he thought it was never going to happen, so he was super happy to see it. Netoru uses a weird term I never saw that means more “the event that IMPLEMENTED Eiden”, so One Night says “What do you mean?? He’s always been there?” and Netoru responds “WELL YEAH, BUT HE WASN’T FIGHTING” and One Night concedes.

One Night then comments that he really liked the new feature to add Eiden into the home screen. Netoru asks the audience who put Eiden on their home screen (EVERYONE RAISES THEIR HAND EXCEPT ONE NIGHT? LIKE? I THOT U LIKED IT??).

Then… something I didn’t quite get happens (maybe Netoru also thought it was weird that One Night didn’t raise his hand?) and Netoru asks One Night to look up, to which he says he can’t see much because of his mask. He starts a bit where he walks around the stage looking for Eiden and acting surprised when he sees Netoru there, so Netoru says “BUT YOU COULD SEE ME UNTIL NOW?”

One Night sips a little drinky… for quite a long time. Netoru asks “damn you thirsty??” and when One Night CONTINUES drinking he starts teasing him for it, saying he must be way too free to be doing that. He APOLOGIZES to the audience for his co-star’s audacity and takes a little sippy of his own drink, which One Love takes as a sign that he must too embibe, to Netoru’s utter disbelief. One Night takes a little stroll with his drink on stage and comes back to their seats like… whassup? He comments the stage is quite large and both he and Netoru go each to one corner of the stage to wave at the audience.

When they come back, the host says “so….. let’s continue” and Netoru replies with “OH FUCK YEAH I WAS TALKING”. Netoru continues his earlier point by saying that, during this event, we got to learn about Eiden’s past and that’s why he liked it so much. As a bonus, he mentions that he’s also really curious where Rin’s story in the main story will take them (casually drops that he actually plays the game he works for).

One Night: “An event that was memorable to me…”

Netoru: “Oh, it’s cool, you don’t have to answer this one”

One Night: “??? OK FINE, THEN I WON’T”

Netoru: “Alright, let’s move on!”

Netoru apologizes profusely for this joke and One Night says he isn’t sorry enough, so Netoru gets on his knees and prostrates LOL One Night tells him to get up, he’s forgiven.

One Night mentions there’s been a looot of events, but if he were to pick, he’d probably pick the Christmas event that had just happened prior to this live.

One Night: “It’s ‘cause- ok, before I say anything: who here stans Olivine?” [people raise their green topper lights]

This next line I’m not too sure on, but I THINK he says: “I imagine you stans already thought of this but… don’t you think Olivine’s been showing less skin lately?”

Netoru: “Kinda, yeah”

One Night: “I was like WHAT?! I swear it shocked me more than the story”

QUESTION: Besides your own character, are there any other characters you like?

Netoru: “Well, you already know mine, right?”

One Night: “You don’t even have to say it”

Netoru: “It’s Topper! I want to take Topper-san home!”

One Night: “I know… I KNOW…”

Netoru comments he’s probably super warm to cuddle with in winter. One Night agrees and says he’d like to put him in his bag and take him places, hear him make little kyun kyun noises. They continue to discuss the dynamics of taking Topper around in a bag like oh my god please give these men pets.

One Night: “My favorite character? Topper.”

Netoru: “hey………”

One Night: “IT’S ‘CAUSE HE’S SOOOO CUUUTE”

Netoru: “… wanna fight?”

One Night: “Oh yeah? Wanna go?”

They get up. Netoru starts warming up and, as he turns to face his opponent, One Night has the Topper lightstick that Netoru doesn’t have on hand. It utterly defeats him as he screams “I CAN’T WIN AGAINST THAT”

One Night says that his favorites would probably be Edmond or Blade. He mentions he knows Edmond’s seiyuu, he’s done some other games with him, and that he was looking forward to seeing that seiyuu’s performance as Edmond.

Netoru: “Naughty”

One Night: “I wouldn’t really say naughty… but, well, it’s a little naughty”

(They use the word “yokaranu” here, which I NEVER heard before in my life, but jisho says it just means “bad” so I ASSUME it’s used in a more… ohhh you’re so naughty context)

One Night speaks over the translator here but it sounds like “it’s mutual” before he backtracks and yells “GUYS IT’S NOTHING SUSPICIOUS!” One Night starts poking Netoru and saying “Hey… Netoru… Stop that…” in a whiny voice. Netoru says it’s the first time One Night’s called him by his first name.

For Blade, One Night says it’s really just style, he likes characters with huge bangs that hide their eyes. Netoru points at his face and One Night says that yes, he also covers his eyes, he can’t see much of anything with his mask on.

Netoru: “Let’s make holes for the eyes”

One Night: “No, please, I can’t get a return on Amazon anymore…”

QUESTION: This one’s for Netoru. What’s the difference between top Eiden and bottom Eiden? Can you tell us how you change between the two?

One Night, in an incredibly jealous tone: TOP AND BOTTOM…. WOW HE’S THE FULL PACKAGE!

Netoru says that he doesn’t really think too hard about it? The most important aspect is [looking directly at One Night] understanding your partner’s needs.

One Night: “Understand me. Right now, understand me.” (this was… actually kinda hot? lol)

Netoru gets flustered and reiterates that what really matters is how your partner acts, it enables him to play different types of tops and bottoms (which is crazy to me because they don’t record together so like… how does he do that?).

Netoru then does a tiny bit of an example of top and bottom intonations. BIG MISTAKE, NETORU. Now One Night goes “WELL, WELL, WELL, WHAT’S THIS? GIVE US SOME MORE!”, but Netoru says people will get mad at him if he does. THE FUCKING HOST, HOWEVER, PLAYS THE ACTUAL DEVIL THERE AND EDGES HIM ON, SAYING HE WON’T GET SCOLDED, IT’S OK!! And Netoru actually DOES some more moaning as a treat LMAOO EVERYONE’S DOING A NERVOUS LAUGH ON STAGE AND ONE NIGHT’S SAYING “THIS IS GOING A BIT OFF THE RAILS?”

Netoru does some more fake moaning and One Night says they’re sounding a bit too funny. BIG MISTAKE, ONE NIGHT. Now Netoru’s ACTUALLY moaning, making the crowd go wild and you can JUST FEEL THE EMBARRASSMENT COMING OUT OF THAT PLAGUE DOCTOR MASK IN WAVES LIKE THE FRAGRANCE OF THE HERBS THEY USED TO SHOVE IN THERE BACK IN THE DAY. Netoru ends it by saying that now the audience should be able to tell the difference between top and bottom voice acting (he looks really nervous lol) and that it’s really important to understand the feelings of your partner in the scene.

QUESTION: Olivine has some… audacious scenes. Are there any scenes or lines that became especially memorable to you?

Before answering, One Night makes a point to fix Netoru’s sitting posture, saying that he’s not a child lol

One Night says he doesn’t like picking between stories but there’s definitely one that was super memorable to him: the idol event! One Night sings a bit of the chorus for Summer Dream and Netoru eggs him on like “WHAT? WHAT? CAN YOU KEEP SINGING? I CAN’T HEAR YOU??” until One Night sings THE ENTIRE CHORUS TO US THANK YOU ONE NIGHT LOVE SAMAAA BLESS BLESS BLESS

One Night says he’s never sung many character and unit songs, so he was excited to get to do it for this event. He hopes he can sing more character songs in the future (EXTREMELY wholesome answer for what the crew expected when they put this question in, I’m positive).

QUESTION: If you had to pick a character from the game to date, who would it be?

One Night: “Wait, guys, we’re gonna do it on ‘go’”

They both get up and make a show to stretch and prepare to say their answers.

Both: “Aaaaand GO: TOPPEEEEEEEER”

Netoru: “HE’S CUTE AND WON’T EVER LEAVE ME!”

QUESTION: How do you feel after this 1 year? What would you like to say to your fans here and your fans watching you live?

Netoru: “Thank you so much for everyone who stuck around for this one year. I would like to thank everyone who loves this game and everyone who’s working on the game from the bottom of my heart. I hope you’ll continue to look forward to Nu Carnival! Please keep supporting us!”

That’s… the gist of it at least. Netoru then says “I love you” in japanese, english, korean and mandarin, with an extra “thank you” in mandarin.

One Night says “I love you” in mandarin and the crowd goes WILD seriously taiwanese people I got you so fucking bad you’re all my homies.

One Night: “I’ve only managed to do these amazing things this past year because of everyone who’s been playing the game, thank you very much. I want to come back and celebrate 2, 3 years, so I hope everyone will continue to play until then and the staff will continue to create amazing stories. Please continue supporting the game, thank you very much”

(That’s the gist of it lol)

Then they both get up to do the live reading of Olivine’s scene!

If you’ve made it here, thank you! I hope my translation wasn’t TOO shoddy and that I could be helpful in anyway! Please continue to love Nu Carnival, everyone!

Future Plot: Project Titanomachy - Epilogue - Part 1

(( Camille belongs to @inklingleesquidly

Nebula belongs to @myzzy and @agenttwo

Agent 7, Telemachus, and Chaodis belong to me

Those not mentioned or used belong to @alpinesquid @son-of-joy @twelvetailedkitsune @a-demo-of-a-hero @askvincent / @asktheseastars @evora-flux @alphadeathsquad @splat-tendency @eiden-squid @petit-blu-inkling and others))

Hermes was guiding Camille, Nebula, Agent 7, and Telemachus into deeper chambers below the chambers that Hephaestus. The chambers lead to a boat on a river called Styx which Hermes offered to row, escorting them more deeper into the earth to the point where it leads to another world. Charon the ferryman was supposed to be there to help them cross, but something has happened to him. Cerberus was there, but Hermes managed to distract the canine with offerings.

Hermes gave some speculation about Eris:

“I see Heracles’s warning back in Mount Othrys, I think I understand now. Eris must’ve been using Achilles's bloodline to manipulate and pull a string of events that lead to the Titanomachy. She took this time to actually manipulate a descendant to Achilles to help her steal gold and silver from the Underworld. That much gold is enough to both control Greece and rebuild Mount Olympus... Therefore..... She was going to rebuild Mount Olympus under her rule.”

They soon arrived at the Underworld where the undead were living in six sectors: a field for the ordinary, a bathing grounds for those that want to forget, a bathing grounds for those that want to remember, a torture infested fields for those that should be punished, and a collection of orchards for those that deserve praise. There is a seventh sector where it houses the gods of the Underworlds including Hades, the Fates, and others; But since Hades is dead and Hecate, Charon, and the Fates were the only one living there, Hecate had to do all the work. That seventh sector was in ruins.

Hermes leaves Camille’s party as he’s got things to do on the surface. They arrived in their Olympian forms. Camille had her mother’s gift around her neck: the racer’s scarf.

Underworld - 8:00 PM

Telemachus, as a Champion of Hades, has access through all the sectors thanks to the Key to the Underworld. With this, Camille’s Party manages to get to the seventh sector to find the whole area in near ruins. The elderly octolings were Fates and they were alright, but the aging dark blue inkling that’s Magic Goddess Hecate was half wounded.

“What happened here?” Nebula asked.

“They did it-- Eris and her son-- has stolen all the riches in the Underworld.” The Morai explained.

“I never knew Eris was alive...” Hecate had undead clerics come and heal her wounds. “And his son bribed Charon..... that fool.”

“Where are they now?” Telemachus asked.

“They heading to the ports at Styx,” Hecate answered, “They’re leaving with the gold and silver.”

“Then we better hurry.” Agent 7 turned around and took out his blazing ink sword Surtr and the crossbow. “.....I wonder what Eris wants to do with all the gold and silver that Hades’s had in the Underworld.”

“Beats me, it seems stupid for Eris to just distract everyone with the Titans and Typhon while she’s here with Chaodis, stealing gold and silver.” Camille then grumbles after mentioning Chaodis. “Let’s get this over with.”

At the piers near Styx, Camille, Nebula, Agent 7, and Telemachus were running at full speed with Camille in front. They were going after a trireme ship that was departing to who-knows-where.

“Is that the ship?” Agent 7 asked.

“I don’t think Hades would allow any ship to leave, so no!” Telemachus picks up speed so that he’s beside Camille as they run.

“Then that’s the ship--!” Camille is cut off, stopped by a ball of black fire thrown from the ship. Camille’s party all got out of the way. “..... Oh, those two are so gonna get it!”

The trireme ship then fires silver stars and it attracted a few undead adversaries that stood in the way, armed with swords, spears, and shields.

Camille had no time to fight them, so she tried out a power from Zeus’s thunderbolt that’s within Athena’s blade. She turns into a strand of lightning and passes through the undead battalion. When she was on the other side, she quickly turned realizing she left Nebula, Agent 7 and Telemachus behind to fighting.

“Nebby! Uncle Sev! Telemachus!” Camille didn’t want to leave them behind.

“Just go after the ship! We’ll deal with them!” Nebula knew that if Camille stayed to fight, the ship would escape.

“But Nebby...” Camille didn’t want to see her cousin in danger.

“There’s no time, Camille, the ship is getting away!” Telemachus agree with Nebula.

“Camille, just keep going!” Agent 7 also agreed.

Camille stepped back slowly and look at the ship that was getting away. She then looked back at the fight going on. She finally nods.

“Alright.... just don’t die!” Camille then runs off.

The ship was opening it sails and Camille can see Chaodis and Eris with tons of gold and silver piled on the decks. An elderly man in a black cloak and two weaponized oars was under a pile, unconscious. Camille picked up speed and noticed the waters ahead of her. She closed her eyes as she kept running, and then she heard the Princess’s voice.

“Champion of Zeus and Athena, I grant you my spirit. Once I bestow my spirit into you, you will be so fast that you can run a crop field without breaking the top of the plants, and over the ocean without wetting your feet. And you will have a heart of an Amazon: fierce, courageous, prideful, and equal of men.” Camilla giggled. “But I believe you have most of those traits.”

Camille smiled and kept running, and once she jumps off the docks and continued running, her feet only meet the surface of the water. It was as if the water’s surface has frozen solid for her to walk on, but it didn’t. Camille continues speeding her way to the ship that’s escaping. Once she was close enough she turns into a squid and super jumps her way to the ship.

Ship of the Myrmidons - River of Styx, Path Between the Underworld and surface - 9:10 PM

Chaodis, the white inkling with red and silver speckles and yellow cockeyed eye, was at the hull of the ship, holding Eris’s Golden Apple of Chaos close while flipping a coin. He stood up walked close to the massive pile of gold and silver that his mother and he have stolen from the Underworld.

In Chaodis’s Olympian form he's still wearing a black-ashy tunic adorned in tarnished silver that makes up his tiara, a lead hair clip, lead earrings, and leather belt. His hair still formed into a ponytail that's over his left shoulder. His sandals were still tarnished silver with two gray feathers of a raven; the rivets were still lead and the leather was still from a black bull. His wings were still the wings of a crow and his hands were still violet dragon-like claws with a feeling that’s still cold to the touch. His innocent smile wasn’t the same as it was after what Camille has said to him.

Someone walks over and stood beside him. It was Eris Discordia, Goddess of Chaos, Strife, and Discord. She the still the inkling woman with octopi black ink, wearing a black linen dress adorned in black feathers and tarnished gold. Her still were still as dark as the ashes of war; her eyes were still as somber as the new moon; her lips are still a decaying violet.

Eris pats her “son” and laughs. “See how much we can spend to rebuild your ancestor’s kingdom?”

“Yes..... I just wish Achilles and Neoptolemus can see me now...” Chaodis soon took out the Omphalos Stone. “And once I rebuild it, I’ll honor you, mother.”

Eris looked at him. “That’s my boy.”

In seconds Camille arrived on the boat in one lightning bolt. She gets up and points Athena’s spear at Eris and Chaodis.

“Chaodis! Eris!” Camille glared at them. “I’m here to kick your asses!”

Chaodis and Eris turned to face her, alarmed. They did not expect her to come in to fight them.

“Now, now, Champion of Zeus and Athena,” Eris reasoned innocently, “ This gold and silver are for the good of my son’s kingdom.”

“This gold and silver are for your bullshit goals from what Hermes told me!” Camille argued. “Eris you crow-feathered squid hag!!!”

“Now why would you trust a trickster like him, pathetic girl?” Eris slightly lost her temper when Camille called her that.

“Because I he saved me from exile when Chaodis betrayed me, and Hermes knew he was up to no good!” Camille points at Chaodis accusingly.

“And I told you I’m doing good deeds with this gold and silver.” Eris is gritting her teeth a bit.

“Cut the bull, Eris! Admit that you're just pulling strings to make yourself ruler!” Camille steps closer, and Eris slaps her across the face, making Camille fall to the ground.

“Ruler? Ruler!?! The only ruler I see is this gullible boy here!” Eris pointed at Chaodis.

Chaodis looked shocked to hear his mother say that. “You... you were using me?”

Eris looks down at Camille. “Hmph.” She points to two preserved corpses on the ship. “Children do you know who those are?”

The two preserved corpse were lying on the ground, holding hands. It was the same place they were buried. One corpse is an Aegean blue inkling in Greek armor; the other corpse is an Amazon inkling with beige ink hair and tan skin.

Chaodis and Camille knew who those two were as they took one look. Chaodis didn’t know those corpses were there.

“That’s right, it’s Achilles and Princess Camilla. This ship was the one they were placed on during their burial.” Eris walks around Camille. “The way those lovers fought each other..... how tragic that Achilles was in love with an enemy. If they were to keep fighting......... I’m willing to sacrifice myself to make that happen.”

Camille looked at Chaodis who was backing away, shaking his head. Camille then glared at Eris.

“I won’t let you do that!” Camille thrusts Athena’s spear at Eris, but Eris jumps back and took out her Apple of Chaos.

Chaodis quickly checked his inventory and found the apple no longer to be in his possession.

“Maybe I should do such things.” Eris giggles. “This should be fun.” She bit the apple and she turns into several feathers carried by the wind. The feathers were sent flying towards Chaodis; Eris is passing her powers and being into him. “Now, my Champion... KILL!”

Chaodis was struggling to get Eris out of his body and his mind. “No! I will not be used!”

“Don’t resist, child,” Eris commanded, “KILL!!”

“I..... won’t.....!” Chaodis gets on his knees with his hands on his head.

Camille backed away, pointing Athena’s spear.

“For the last time child...” Eris forced him. “KILL!!!”

Chaodis makes louds painful squid noise and he collapses to the ground. There was black fire engulfing him now; Eris has finally possessed him. He carefully gets back up on his feet, and he gazed into Camille’s eyes.

“Eris wills it...” Chaodis quickly plucks a black feather from his wings and creates a razor feather-shaped sword. In his other hand was Eris’s Golden Apple of Discord. “I must kill you!”

To be continued...
