500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 229 [Bonus Chapter] So Starts The Shit Storm

"I-It's nothing," Cancer said as she finally managed to compose herself before looking up at Scorpio with a glare. "Just leave me alone."

Scorpio simply scoffed in response before turning his attention back to me. "She had pictures of you with the other girls and Virgo while you were fucking them, along with a bunch of sex toys that I never even knew that she had!"

"Oh, so that is what this is about," I said with a chuckle as I shook my head in amusement before Cancer's face turned red in embarrassment. "Cancer, you know that I love you, but we are just friends. We have been for centuries now."

"I-I know," Cancer said as she looked down at the ground dejectedly before Virgo put her arms around her and pulled her into a comforting hug.

"It's okay, dear," Virgo said softly as she rocked Cancer back and forth slightly. "Ophiuchus loves you too, but not in the way that you want him to."

Cancer just nodded before burying her face back into Virgo's chest and starting to cry quietly, while Scorpio just crossed his arms over his chest with an annoyed expression on his face, and Virgo glared at him. "Are you happy now? You have made her cry!"

"Oh, shut up," Scorpio snapped before turning his attention back to me. "So? What do you want to do now? Are you really just not going to have anything to do with her?"

"What?!" I stammered.

"We have been split for a long time now, and I do not want anything to do with her. I am with Cestia now, Piccolo's twin. She wasn't really happy being with Aries since she was not really into girls. Now Cancer is without anyone, but she should have revealed this soon, you know, before Ophiuchus LEFT!" Scorpio snapped, and I facepalmed.

Cancer was a beautiful woman, her long black hair reaching down to her waist and her big brown eyes filled with sadness. She was wearing a white dress that flowed down to her feet and hugged her curves in all the right places. I had always thought of her as a sister, and I thought that she felt the same way about me.

"Galio? You are going to take her, right?" Tallia asked me, as Cancer was still between Virgo and her. I could see the sadness in her eyes, and I knew that she felt terrible for Cancer.

"Of course," I said after a moment's hesitation. She was like family to me, and I loved her like a sister. I knew that she loved me too, but not in the way that Tallia did.

"Good," Virgo said as she finally released Cancer from her hug before turning to look at me with a smile. "She is all yours."

"Thank you," I said as I walked over to Cancer and pulled her into a hug which she hesitantly returned before burying her face in my chest and starting to cry quietly.

"It's okay," I murmured softly as I rubbed her back soothingly. "Everything is going to be alright."

This is nothing like what I had pictured coming here would be like. This was a giant clusterfuck if I had ever seen one. But I couldn't help but feel glad that everyone was here, even if it was under these circumstances.

"So, what do you say we get out of here?" Scorpio asked, and I nodded before Cancer finally released me from the hug and took a step back. "We might as well go say hi to the person you actually tried to summon.

"I think that is a good idea," I said before Tallia walked over and took my hand.

"Lead the way," she said, and Scorpio just chuckled softly before gesturing for an Astral Portal to open.

The four of us walked through it, Cancer still clinging to me tightly, before emerging in a large throne room with a high ceiling. The first thing that I noticed was the fact that there were various weapons mounted on the walls along with the banners of different houses. The second thing I noticed was Leo sitting on his rock throne with an uninterested expression on his face while Cestia stood next to him with her arms crossed over her chest, glaring daggers at me.

"Brother, aren't you looking fancy," I said as I walked up, but a grin burst across his face as Cestia jumped for me. Scorpio grabbed her out of the air and held on to her, preventing any escape.

"Thank goodness you are here! I thought I was going to have to listen to that damned woman for another century," Leo laughed as he stood up, his eyes falling on Capricorn. "My beautiful wife! Finally, a woman that I can actually stand to be around!"

"Damn you, Cat God! Do you know the shit storm that you caused when you left?! If you could have just stayed for one more day!" Cestia shrieked while still struggling in Scorpio's arms.

"Calm down! He couldn't have known!" Scorpio said, trying to placate, but then her glare switched from me to Cancer.

"You little bitch! You are the cause of all-"

"ENOUGH!" I roared, vibrating the air and making everyone flinch and go silent. Seriously, what the fuck happened after I left? Did all these Gods just lose their marbles?

"I know that I have been gone for a long time, and even if I did come, I was a stranger, but I lived the four hundred and ninety-nine lives, meaning I will be coming home permanently after this. What happened here that you are all acting so fucking crazy?!" I growled, and Leo sighed as he walked over to Capricorn.

"Honestly, Brother. You are the glue that holds us all together. There has even been some fighting among the others. The thing is that none of us realized that until you were gone. We should have been more supportive of your decision and tried to make either father, or you see reason. In the end, you still followed the same path, but things could have been so much different. Cestia, we are just as much at fault here as Ophiuchus for leaving. We are all his family, and none of us did our best to prove that to him," Leo said as he looked around at the Zodiacs that were gathered.

I had no idea that they all felt that way. I always thought that I was nothing more than a burden to them, but they actually cared. It made me feel both happy and sad at the same time.

"Come on, let's go talk," Virgo said as she pulled Cancer away while Scorpio finally released Cestia, who just glared daggers at him before following Virgo out of the room with Cancer still clinging to her.

"What about Taurus?" Capricorn asked, But Leo shook his head.

"My brother has something to do that is much more important right now. There will be time to deal with the others after," Leo explained and then turned to me. "I will give your beautiful goddess, Tallia, my power when you ask, and Scorpio will provide you with his, but why are you still locked from your powers?"

"Not sure, but it is kind of like when I went to Tallia's world. The flow of my Astral power is there, but it is very slowly filling. I really don't know how long it will take before I can do anything but change my form," I explained, and my brother nodded.

"Well, good luck with the Riftwalker. Even without your powers, the two of you shouldn't have a problem," Leo said, and I groaned.

"Don't say things like that, fuck! You know you are inviting bad mojo when you do that!" I exclaimed, and he just chuckled softly as he walked over to me.

"But you will do fine, Brother," Leo said before patting me on the shoulder before walking away with Capricorn following close behind him as Tallia and I were pulled back to the Mortal Realm of the Goddesses.
