Extinguishing Old Flames
Yujiro awoke from his slumber with a start, jumping out of bed with his fists raised in preparation to fight. Years of training his body could alert him of when someone was closing in on him when he was sleeping, and his next level instincts woke him up with a surge of adrenaline.
"Calm yourself, Yujiro Hanma."
Yujiro whirled around and shot a punch at the voice behind him, sending a devastating blow to the wall behind him as the attack went right through the figure's body.
'What?" Yujiro squinted his eyes. Perhaps this assassin was trained in advanced smokescreen tactics to create false replicas?
Yujiro backed away from the figure, not wanting to play too many of his cards before his enemy attacked. But as he waited for his enemy to approach, they didn't. Instead they just stood there. But they weren't really standing. Instead, figure was sort of hovering off the ground. In fact, the more he observed the figure in front of him, the less human they looked. They wore a gold robe with a matching golden laurel wreath on their head. They were of a beauty that seemed higher than what most could only dream of, and their face was radiant.
"Identify yourself." Yujiro said simply.
"I am Demeter." the figure said simply. "Goddess of Harvest."
"Demeter, huh." Yujiro said, still cautious. "I guess the Greeks were right after all."
"You have been deemed worthy of being my champion, and receiving an ancient power that can assist you on your path of glory." Demeter explained. "Take this; the will of the gods. With it you can travel among the universes to select those who you desire. Along with it, I grant you my hunger. You shall gain the ability to consume others and absorb their strength, power, intelligence, and more."
Yujiro's body felt weird, and he shuddered as he suddenly felt something flow through his body, through his veins.
"Now come, my champion." Demeter ordered. "Come with me to Olympus so that you may protect our people and fight off the terrors of the world."
A pause. "Nah." Yujiro smiled. "I'm just gonna go do my own thing."
Demeter's smile wavered. "I beg your pardon?"
"See you around, Demeter." Yujiro smiled, testing out his travel powers to blip himself away.
Yujiro appeared suddenly at an isolated house in the middle of no where, but the area seemed familiar. He then recognized the house as once belonging to his ex-wife; Diane Neil. A smile grew on his face as he stepped closer to the house. Perhaps he would test out this new divine power on an old flame.
Stepping up to the door, he punched it in with ease. A startled shout came from within, and suddenly a slim figure was running down the stairs with a shotgun.
"Hello, Diane." Yujiro grinned. "Nice to see you again."
"You?" Diane's eyes widened, but she shook off her shock. "Eat shit, asshole!" Diane pulled the trigger and two shots were sent at Yujiro, but he crouched down before they could reach him and he barrelled towards Diane. He knocked into her, tossing the shotgun aside. With ease, he grabbed her by the neck and held her up.
Diane struggled as Yujiro sneered. "You fuck! You've already robbed me of my dignity! What more do you wish to take from me?"
"Perhaps your life will suffice my desires!" Yujiro barked out a laugh as he raised Diane above his head, opening his mouth widely and dropping Diane in. Diane fell and screamed as she did, until she got stuck halfway through with her dumptruck ass. Yujiro scoffed in annoyance as he placed his palm on Diane's struggling head, and forced her body down until she was swallowed whole. Yujiro let out a manly roar, happily scarfing down his first of many meals.
"Wh-what are you doing, you crazy bastard!" Diane spat from inside. "Let me out of this!"
"No, I don't believe I will." Yujiro burped. "You were fun, Diane, but you've lost your appeal. Now shut up and die. I am interested to see how this new power works."
"Yujiro!" Diane shouted, full of hate, but her cried fell upon deaf ears as Yujiro tuned her out.
Diane digested rather easily, and was just the first of Yujiro's stops. He paid a visit to his next ex, teleporting to her hotel room in Vegas before teleporting back to an open park he used for sparring to finish his meal.
"O-oh, Yujiro!" Emi bit her lip from inside. "Fuck yes, digest me like the gut slut I am!"
Yujiro scoffed. "Crazy woman." Yujiro flexed easily, crushing down Emi's body easily and finishing his digestion of both his exes. Looking down at his gut, he noticed that two new tattoos had been added to him under his abs. Firstly, there was a black simple military boot, and next to the boot, a ruby red pair of lips now showed on his gut. The souls of both his former lovers now remained permanently added to his body. How fitting, seeing as he was the only thing that ever gave either of them value.
As Yujiro turned to leave, he heard a sound like a whip cracking, and a familiar face appeared behind him.
"YUJIRO!" Demeter gasped. "What are you doing with my power! I granted you this strength so you could defend Olympus, but here you are choosing to guzzle down defenceless ladies as if they were meals? How dare you dishonour me!"
"Oh, shut up, you great whore." Yujiro sneered. "You should have made sure I agreed to your terms before you gave me this power. Don't worry though, I'll help you with your shit. After I have some fun for myself, of course!" Laughing, Yujiro disappeared again, headed off to the next realm.
