God Succession System 140 Meeting Grandma And A God

Two days after Rossweise got the message that she was chosen as a marriage partner for the new chief G.o.d of the Norse, Vidar, they were gathered a j.a.panese style restaurant for the marriage interview. Alex was also present, due to the fact that he was Rossweise's current lover, and he wanted to say some things to Vidar. As far as he could recall the original reason for Vidar going with this in the novel was to help solidify the relationship between Issei and Rossweise, but Alex didn't need that solidification. Though he wasn't technically engaged with her yet, he was waiting for a more appropriate time when his current situation was more stable, which was also why he didn't officially propose to any of the other girls yet either.

As they were waiting, an elderly woman with a stern look that resembled Rossweise appeared, and walked towards them. Alex immediately stood and went to greet her. Even if he hadn't met her yet due to him changing various events, he knew she was Rossweise's grandmother who raised her, Göndul. She looked at Alex as he approached, and said,

"It's nice to finally meet you red dragon emperor, I hear you've been taking care of my granddaughter." Alex nodded and said,

"It is nice to finally meet you too Göndul, and yes, she is one of my lovers." Rossweise turned beet red at Alex's direct confirmation, but Göndul nodded approvingly, and replied,

"Good, then it makes denying them even easier. I'm sorry about how they have been about this situation." Alex shook his head at her words, and replied,

"Not at all, it wouldn't be the first time I've b.u.t.ted heads with a G.o.d, and with my track record it won't be the last either." Göndul laughed slightly, as her estimation of this grandson in-law increased. As they talked a little more, an employee of the restaurant approached and said that the other party for the interview had arrived.

Currently sitting in the meeting room was Rossweise, the representative of her family, Göndul, her current master Rias, and her prospective partner Vidar. Vidar was a relatively good looking man that appeared to be in his twenties, with light blonde hair and a beard, with golden eyes, and dressed in a white suit. Behind Vidar were three women that seemed to carry the aura of G.o.ds, with stern expressions. Meanwhile Alex was intruding, and leaning against the wall behind Rossweise's group in what can be considered a rude gesture, but it made his position clear. The three G.o.ddesses with Vidar glared at him, until Vidar said,

"Fulla, Hlin, Gná, maybe it's best if the rest was left to me." The three woman looked at him and one of them said,

"Please remember that this situation is for the sake of Asgard's future, and your current position as the chief G.o.d." The words were barely out of their mouth when another voice said,

"That's funny, if having Rossweise around is for the sake of Asgard's future, then why was she left behind so easily, and why did no one care about retrieving her for nearly a year?" Everyone person in the room turned to the speaker, Alex. He was directing a cold glare at the three women, who were also glaring back. Rossweise was looking at him like he was her savior, Göndul was bouncing between pride and indignation, Rias had a look that said 'of course', and Vidar simply looked as if the situation was more interesting than he originally thought. The women looked as if they were going to retort back, but after a look from Vidar, they filed out of the room while giving him cold glares. Vidar then looked back to them and said,

"I'm sorry about that, the situation is getting a little out of hand, even I couldn't refuse. But enough about that; I'm Vidar, the current chief G.o.d of the Norse pantheon." With Vidar as the start the rest of those gathered introduced themselves and their relation to the current situation, until they reached Alex.

"I'm Alex, the red dragon emperor and Rossweise's lover." At his words Rossweise turned completely red again, but had a small smile on her face. Vidar on the other hand had a growing grin. His att.i.tude was p.i.s.sing Alex off increasingly, especially since he knows Vidar would just show interest in the marriage to mess with him and Rossweise. After the introductions, Göndul and Rias rose to leave in order to let Rossweise and Vidar talk alone, but the smiling G.o.d simply said,

"I don't mind if you guys want to stay, something tells me even if you leave the red dragon over there wouldn't follow you." The two sent Alex another look, before returning to their seats. They then ordered drinks, which both Alex and Vidar ordered beer. When he saw what Alex ordered, Vidar smiled even more, while Rias and Rossweise looked worried. Alex wasn't concerned though, one perk of his "poison immunity" skill was that he was almost completely immune to the effects of alcohol. He could still get drunk since the skill wasn't maxed out, but it would have to be some extremely potent alcohol.

Vidar tipped his mug towards Alex in a toast, to which Alex slightly returned, before the unspoken compet.i.tion started. The three girls watched the compet.i.tion with varying thoughts, as both of their gla.s.ses emptied at an alarming rate. After only a few seconds, both men had their mugs completely emptied at the same moment, causing Vidar to start laughing,

"Hahahahahaha, you sure can drink!" Alex didn't say anything to this G.o.ds praise, but his brow twitched when he then said,

"You know I like you, how about a bet? If you win our match I'll call of the engagement, if I win then she becomes my woman." Alex's brow twitched and he was sure he had the famous anime vein mark on his forehead, as he glared at the smiling G.o.d. The other three were dumbfounded at Vidar's proposal, as they never expected he would actually approve of her after being antagonized by Alex so much. Alex then took a breath, and replied,

"I have enough respect for all of the women around me not to use them as pieces for someone else's amus.e.m.e.nt. I'll make a counter offer, call off the engagement, or I'll ensure you suffer the same fate as Loki during our match." At his words Vidar suddenly turned pale, as the image of the evil G.o.d came to mind. Loki wasn't even shadow of his former self, as after being defeated he was somehow stripped of his divinity before they sealed him.

Even though they were indebted to Alex for defeating Loki, many of those in the Norse pantheon considered him a threat that needed to be disposed of. This notion only increased after Hades mysterious disappearance, as one of the last things Hades did was a direct move against Alex by releasing Samael. The only other reason they never pushed it was because of the connections that he had, being in a relationship with the eastern youkai faction leader, one of the four seraph, a Maou, and two of those related to the Maou. Vidar himself never really minded that talk, but after antagonizing him, couldn't help but feel some cold sweat running down his back. He then said,

"As you wish, I'll call of the engagement. But I have this to say, if we win this match then the engagement will be back on. I hope you understand I have to offer some kind of ultimatum after all, I'm not the only one with a say in this either." Alex didn't say anything, even if they were essentially back where they started, as he had no intention of losing the match at all to begin with.
