But, all right. Besides, we've gotta head home and report to the boss that we're done taking out the trash.

That's why we got escorts from a beautiful lady in Gloucester instead. She said we could have them cheap since she couldn't get the fine-tuning right.

Nothin' special to it. I'm just an Alter Ego who's optimized for killing gods.
[k]
@Senji Muramasa
And that's only 'cause the Foreign God imbued me with Divine Spirits who're good at that sort of thing.
[k]
@Senji Muramasa
Apparently, one of them's a blind god of war who was responsible for Ragnarök, the twilight of the gods.
[k]
[charaFace D 15]
@Senji Muramasa
The other's...well, kind of a wish fulfillment of mine. Don't ask.
[k]
[charaFace D 0]
@Senji Muramasa
My point is, I'm not exceptionally strong or anything. I just don't have to use magical energy to kill gods.

So Olympus was perfect for me, and Scandinavia... Well, Scandinavia would've been rough. You can figure out why.
