The Fox Goddess

A.N

I'm sorry for not uploading yesterday, as that day was our Year End Party in my school and I didn't have any time to write. To make up for it, I will upload two chapters today, so expect the other one later.

After blasting Inari away, she rushed towards her at a much faster speed than before. Because of her recent Tier Up, naturally, she became much more powerful than before, if she were to fight with the Norse Pantheon and the Shinto Gods again, she would have not struggled as much as she did and would only need a few hours to get the same results as she did to get to Peak Tier of Star-Lord Beast. Yuki's explosive moves immediately immobilized Inari in the middle of space, every time she tried to counter, Yuki would disappear and land an attack at her constantly. Because of the fast movements, she was having a hard time getting used to the attacks, every time she was about to predict the next attack of Yuki, the pattern would change once more making it seem more confusing, putting her at a clear disadvantage, so she was in a constant defense and cannot counter her no matter how hard she tries.

The rest of the Ancient Gods of Japan who were watching were also quite shocked, as Yuki's attacks were all unpredictable making it hard to predict. But even if it was unpredictable and seemed random, the attack was quite terrifying itself, all of her kicks, and punches could easily destroy a Star and Inari was taking all of them head-on. She was currently using one of the forms from her Martial Art Skill "Eternal Eclipse" making her body weightless and making her even faster than before. But to some eyes of the God, her speed is above average already, but that was still a terrifying thought, a Peak Tier Star-Lord Beast was already as fast as God.

"Inari! You are making our Clan look like trash because of what you are showing. Just get this over with." Izanagi said in impatience, he was already tired of waiting. There was nothing more he wanted other than to see Yuki's cold body.

"Spectators' job is to watch, now spout nonsense. So why don't you do me a favor and shut your mouth? Plus your little friend here can't already do nothing towards me." Yuki smiles as she grabs the beat-up body of Inari by the neck and begins to put a little pressure on it.

"Why don't you be a good Fox and show me your true body, you are the God of Illusion, you can't fool me. I'm sure you don't want your greatest Illusion to be destroyed by me right?" Yuki smiled evilly. She has already realized that what she was hitting was the Illusion that Inari has placed, ever since she starts to land countless attacks on her body, she realized that something was wrong. Not only were the Gods calm, but the body of Inari also felt weird. Just from these two points, Yuki has already guessed that the body that she was hitting was fake. And going by the Myth, Inari is not only known to be the Fox Goddess of Japan, but she was a pure-blooded Kitsune which was heavily known for its trickery and Illusions.

"How-" The Inari in Yuki's hand voice trembled, but the real Inari who was hiding was already shivering in fear. Even if she was known to be a Kitsune, her Illusions were not that great, but this clone of hers is the greatest thing that she has ever created in her life. There were only a few people that knew this, and that was her best friend Kannon. In reality, the only reason that the Gods were calm even after seeing how Yuki was beating up Inari is they knew that she was still going to make a comeback. Inari was known to be a playful God, so they immediately guessed that she was only playing around with Yuki, making her think that she was winning the fight. But after they heard Yuki's words, they couldn't help but shake their heads and looked at the body that Yuki was holding by the neck.

Once they were sure that the Inari in Yuki's hand was fake. They sucked in a cold breath, even though they didn't know that it was fake. But Yuki, who was only a mortal, guessed it was right, that Inari was currently using an Illusion on all of them. Sadly, it was already too late for Inari as Yuki plunged her arm into the Clone's chest killing it in an instant, the body then began to flicker and soon it disappeared under everyone's eyes. And once it did, the Illusion that Inari used was broken, all of them saw Inari standing in Space with widened eyes as she looked at Yuki in fear, guessing that all of them were in her Illusion.

But not all of them were caught in Inari's Illusion, the only Gods that already knew that Inari was using an Illusion on all of them from the start were the Biblical Gods. All of them sneered at the Ancient Gods of Japan for even falling into such obvious tricks of Inari making them extremely ashamed of themselves. On the other hand, Inari was having a hard time accepting such a reality, her greatest Illusion which took her thousands of years to master was seen through by mortal seconds into their fight. She didn't want to take any risks and canceled her Illusion and finally showed her true body in front of Yuki. causing the fake body in Yuki's hands to disappear.

"So you have finally decided to show your real body. You were really scared of your clone being destroyed huh, how about I show you my Illusion, well not an Illusion but more of a control? But we don't need to go into that much detail right? Charm!" Four Clones suddenly left Yuki's body and using the Charm to get control over Inari's mind she begins to attack her mind slowly.

Inari's mind begins to get blurry and her view of Yuki begins to change slowly, at first she sees her as an arrogant and fearless woman with no good things about her, but all of that begins to change, she started seeing as an absolute beauty and the cold look on her face makes her feel embarrassed inside. Yuki's charm was slowly poisoned to get full control over Inari. Her "Charm" skill attacks the mind and can control any being as long as that being doesn't have any resistance against charms and if they have a stronger mind than the user then the effects of the Charm.

"Come here~" Inari then heard Yuki's sultry voice that seemed to pluck the strings of her heart, she was swayed to come over and before she could even think about it she was already flying towards Yuki with a reddened face.

"Inari! Snap out of it, she is only tricking you!" Kannon screamed to the side as she watched her best friend get lured by Yuki. But it was already too late for Inari to come back. As soon as she was in front of Yuki, her mind was filled with her existence. She wanted to obey and follow every move, even if it meant fighting her friends.

"You poor thing… Don't worry, now that you are with me, I will make sure to treat you right~" Yuki muttered as she held Inari's cheeks and began to play with them. Now with Inari on her side, there was nothing that the others could do about it, the only way to release her from the effects of her Charm, is to kill the Manipulator, there was no other way. Yuki even thought that her Charm Skill is one of her useless Skills but when she learned that there was only one way to remove the effects she began to see it differently.
