Iriam merely smiled. "Wrong question, boy."

"What are you?"

She shrugged. "Have been called a Goddess. Have been called a Monster. I have many names as the winds and many titles as there are way to die." A head tilt. "You can call me Lady Iriam, little hitman."

She easily dodged the bullet that went pass her. "My, my, aren't you a fool? Cannot even beat our resident little earthling and wants to pick a fight with a creature much greater?"

Iriam couldn't help but scoff. "That noisy child is not even a real god - I meet and killed plently of them before - he's just a little earthling. And you still got outclassed and used like a sacrificial battery. If any of you arrogant fools genuine think youself the strongest predators around, you deserve to be curse by our own hubris. How stupid the so-called World's Greatest Hitman is."

Reborn looked enraged, upset at begin once again outmatched by a non-human entity. Iriam smiled. "Checkerface did you all a favor in attempt to show you humblety, a pity you didn't learned you lesson, you would be surprised how inferior you truly are, little one." She told him mocking. "In the end, you are just a man."

A cruel man, a vile criminal who thinks himself the top dog in the room, a foolish hitman who got himself cursed out of arrogant and pride. A tutor that attempted to mold a civilian child into a something useful and broken enough.

Just a small fish in a small pound.

Veshta - Skull choose now to break the silent with a snort. "There is so much you can play with the undead until you got a shinigami on your doorstep."

"Shinigami?" Fon half-asked, eyes a little wide. Skull was bemused to see his mask of serenity shattered.

"Death Gods. Grim Reapers. From the Japanese Pantheon at least." Iriam answered, a little smug. "Finally understand how little you are, child?"

"At least it isn't a Hollow." Her darling grandchild mused. "No one wants to deal with a a butch of throusands years old soul-eating monsters at this point."

"What." Its was Colonello this time. "What now, kora?"

Skull shoot him a look. "Man hated by Death remember?" He smiled. "You would be surprised the sheer bullshit going on beyond the grave. Or how many mythological begins running around. Most are just terrible and beautiful as the myths tell."

"Maybe we send Kawahira to the Underworld?" Kass said casually. "Lord Hades will take him in. A plan a proper pushiment. Eternity in Tartarus would be fitting."

"His people were exterminated for a reason." Iriam notted. "Different than the Quincy, they actually deserved it a little."

"The Quincy were destroying souls and messing with the circle of reencarnation." Skull said. "Which I admit, Soul Society is not better..."

"What the actual fuck are you all talking about, trash?" Xanxus cut off. "Fucking Shinigami? Hollow?"

Iriam smiled and tilted her head. "Do you genuine thought our darling little Checkerface was the only ancient overpowered begin out there? He's just a arrogant little guppy in a Ancient Sea. There are literal Ancient Gods and Monsters running around, you know?"

Skull shoot Fon a look. "I thought you were Buddist? You should believe in reencarnation then. Truth, the whole thing is actually far more messy in real life..." He paused. "And Shinigami can be kinda stupid."

"Not all of them. Soul Society is a exception." Iriam sing-sang. "You remember this mess? The War between the Three Realms of Dead and Living?"

"The war between..." Fon breathe out, staring at them all stunned.

The lore drop was hilarious, if only to see his fellow Arcobaleno's reactions.

"Hard to forget." Veshta - Skull, his name is Skull de Mort now - replied. "Thats why I like Koenma-san better."

"Koenma?" Tsuna wondered about the odd name.

"Koenma. Child of Enma. Son of Lord Enma Daiō, King of Jigoku." Skull snaps. "You are Japanese, I expect you to know about your gods."

"For a God of the Death, he was pretty bad." Kass crossed her arms. "And usually those a chiller butch, both Hades and Anubis can atest to that."

Reborn finally snapped. "Who are you?" He growled, demanding. A gun pointed straight at Iriam's head.

The sheer nerve of this man

"Mortals." Kass scoffed, giving Reborn cold look. "Always thinking too high of yourself, aren't you? Checkerface should have killed you lot."

Old eyes, ancient and weary, settle on the Arcobaleno, staring at them with a dismissive coldness and annoyance, as if they are mere bugs under her shoes. That should be killed off like parasites they are.

Those foolish children may think themself the biggest predators in their little world, with their little titles and power, but they are nothing but fools.

"I am the World's Greatest Hitman." Reborn insisted. Like that mean anything. "I never fail."

Their own pride and arrogance, yet they learned nothing.

"You are a but prideful arrogant fool." Kass shocked her head, amused. "Such thing means nothing to Checkerface, just like it means nothing to us. He's a arrogant boy and so are you."

It what got them enared by Checkerface's Rainbow Curse in first place. Karma as its finnest.
