Chapter 48
On the other side of the coin, Aresia and her gang were inside a protected zone in Australia where no signal could be found and magic sight couldn't work.
It was a natural magical spot where the energy was highly concentrated causing miraculous phenomenon.
These kinds of things could be found all across the universe in random locations but they were temporary and disappeared just like they came.
Aresia had kept the Berserker Armor away from her as a trump card when things would go completely wrong.
She had been very confident in her powers and the people that she had hired but the battle had almost been lost.
Even though the objective was completed, Aresia was raging inside at being looked down on by that man. That man who had turned everything on its head.
'Don't just kill him. Make him suffer, death is too good for him. Make him what he fears, make him a monster.'
The voice came from the deepest reaches of her mind and Aresia felt herself nod to this thought.
Death was too good for him, for what he had done.
The shame he had brought to the Amazons.
She will save the world from his lies and let the males know their place as lower class beings.
"Thank you for your good work everyone especially you, Shade. I appreciate your quick thinking." Aresia muttered as she wore the red armor with her Immortal Slayer on the back along with a shield
Her face was uncovered as she held the helmet and looked at her team that had already lost one member.
She was not disappointed by their performance since they barely worked together and they did their best.
It was the enemy that was too strong.
She had heard so much about him but Aresia realized that she had let her bias influence her too much.
'Naruto is moving faster and faster, nobody knows where he will stop with the different projects he is involved in. I don't know but I see the boy one day stand above me, isn't that funny.'
Aresia remembered Hippolyta muttering such words while drunk. Those words had made her laugh in disdain and disbelief but now she couldn't deny it at all.
The information from few months ago was completely useless as he wasn't supposed to have the power to keep most of them members distracted alone.
Even Supergirl had grown too fast, she was obviously physically strong but her skill level shouldn't have been on this level.
Aresia had trained for a century already but Kara had seemed so close in fighting skill.
"Apologies madame, I have disappointed you with the poor performance. I will try for a better result next time." Shade shook his head and expressed his disappointment in himself
He was a man of manners and pride, and Naruto had stepped on his pride like it was nothing.
He had been treated like a goon as a clone had been used to fight him.
"You are welcome but what do you plan to do with that flower. Isn't that the man-killer?" Cheetah muttered and all eyes landed on Aresia especially the man who became cautious
"Yes, it is that flower."
"Do you intend to kill all men?"
Aresia closed her eyes and let out a heavy breath, when she opened her eyes they could see that those blue eyes had turned pure red.
Overpowering red and they felt their body burdened by killing intent before their heads flew in the air.
Aresia stood among the corpses with the sword in hand and a crazy smile on her face while the armor wriggled like a living being, enjoying the death and insanity.
'Wonderful, wonderful, let it rage, let it rage. Freedom is beautiful, let go of those chains and become free.'
The magical circle beneath the surface activated with the blood sacrifice and Aresia could feel her excitement reach a climax.
Her goal was so close now.
It didn't matter if her mind was being affected by the armor or that she couldn't take it off anymore.
The goal was what mattered, no more compromises.
"Mother, I will achieve the goal you dreamt off before being enslaved by men." Aresia muttered as she thought of her Queen and Mother figure
To her Hippolyta had been enslaved by men as that was the only reason why she would steep so low to allow a man on the Island.
It was time for men to know their place.
With this magical circle she would spread the virus and enslave men, where they would be given the choice to serve or die.
It would spread through wind, water and the natural energy of the universe, meaning no one could avoid it and they wouldn't even notice until the symptoms started.

Back with Naruto, the duo had arrived at their location. Flying above Washington, the duo landed outside a small shop named Good Fortunes.
"Welcome, how may I help you today?"
Upon entering they were greeted by a beautiful woman with long flowing black hair wearing a purple Qi Pao along with countless jewelry but the choker with the purple crystal stood out among them
"Did you know I will come back?" Hal asked
Madame Xanadu gave a small smile, "Of course, everyone comes back once they see the truth."
Naruto observed the woman carefully and her gaze landed on him, "We are strapped for time so I will skip the chit chat and get to business. We need you to tell us where I can find the Amazon woman named Aresia that fought me today."
Xanadu didn't mind since most customers wouldn't care about talking to her either. It was just business and she could see that there was danger abound.
Taking a seat, Xanadu indicated for Naruto to sit and she took his hand. Placing a dice in his hand she let him roll and on the table was a map.
"You will find her here." Xanadu indicated the position and outlined it carefully
"How did you just do that? Wasn't that too fast?" Naruto was shocked by her skill as she found the target too easily
"Naruto" Hal called
"Oh sorry, I will come back Madame Xanadu as we have a lot to talk about and thank for your assistance." Naruto caught himself and straightened his posture as he expressed his gratitude
Many thoughts had appeared when she gave him the answer, hope of finally finding the way home had lit a fire inside his heart and he couldn't wait.
"I will be waiting for your next visit and prepare properly for it." Xanadu smiled at his expressions
She was a long lived person from the 11th century and through the long years had come across many people but Naruto was one of the rare ones, not many were like him that fought for good and actually worked towards it actively.
She had been evil once but changed from her experiences after having been stripped of most of her powers.
Xanadu had witnessed the heroes but somehow none of them seem to want to influence the world, they were afraid of taking responsibility. Afraid of the possibility of spreading darkness but then came Naruto and within months he had broken the codes of the heroes except the killing rule.
He became part of the world and even gave lectures. Naruto was the first hero to actively spread his ideals to people and guide them patiently.
To her, Naruto was a unique person that she wanted to converse with and understand his mind now that he had settled down properly.
She had wanted to meet him before but made a prediction that it was better to wait until the day he came knocking as his thoughts were still not completely solid.
Naruto could feel the interest from her emotions and wondered about the reason. He wasn't one of those people that let fame get to their heads.
Naruto was one of those people that actually made excuses to why someone wouldn't like him and the girls would have been in real trouble if he didn't have empathic abilities.
Hal also noticed her interest in Naruto and became cautious since no one had forgotten about the two future endings of Naruto.
The clone Naruto and the Overlord both were something the heroes didn't want to happen.
They understood that Overlord Naruto was kind of a good result and he was spreading peace across the universe. He had control and the people were happy but the problem was that everything was under his control.
If anything went wrong with him then the universe was doomed.
'Need to keep an eye on this woman.' Hal thought as they left and contacted the rest of the group to appear on the coordinates
