208 – Final Battle (3)
“Do you know what you’re talking about!? I created your year!”
[Yes, I made it. But that doesn’t matter.]
The spirit of light, which had been paying all its attention to me until just a moment ago, completely cut off its interest in me as if it had never happened before.
It’s still staring at me, but that’s all. The eyes of the God of Light are not looking at me, but at the thoughts of Seraphia within me.
“Don’t you know that I created all angels!? Seraphia, you are the angel I created!”
[Yes, that’s right. So what does that mean? You will obey unconditionally whatever your mother says… Oh, you don’t have a mother, I made a mistake.]
“Hey, hey…!!”
What can I say… Serafia’s thoughts seem very logical.
Well, there is no reason to obey unconditionally just because it was created. The fact that she was the crazy one who said that is quite annoying, though.
[It is incomprehensible that the God of Light, who was only used by the God of Light in the first place, would give orders to the God of Light in reverse.]
“The current four are not gods of light.”
[He was once a god.]
I really can’t say a word.
As if I were the last person to speak, when the spirit of light speaks, it responds immediately.
I take the time to think even just a little bit, as if delaying an answer means defeat, so I answer as quickly as possible, even if it means not thinking as much, and gradually think about the next line as I speak.
This is truly the standard Agari Fighter that can be easily found on the Internet.
If Seraphia had been typing on a keyboard on Earth instead of a god, you might think she would have been perfect for it.
“Come to your senses!! I gave you a chance to kill Faust, who killed you, so why are you interfering!?”
[Interruption, it doesn’t make sense to say that you’re interfering when you haven’t done anything. What are you proud of in the first place? Didn’t he strike the final blow in taking the woman’s life?]
“…”
After hearing Seraphia’s words of thought, the Spirit of Light kept his mouth shut.
As said, the God of Light abandoned Seraphia and recognized me as a new god, resulting in Seraphia’s final death.
Seraphia, whose memories of that time remain very vividly, feels an indescribable disgust at the spirit of light who calmly orders her to listen to her words.
As Seraphia’s thoughts are in my mental world, I can know very well what thoughts and feelings Seraphia has right now.
Being defeated by me is just humiliating and disgraceful, but the fact that the God of Light abandoned him is something that cannot be resolved by simply being angry.
[If I had to kill one of them… I would like to kill you more.]
“-What!?”
At that moment, I felt something escape through the hand of the light spirit that touched my body.
That something is the thought of Seraphia, who was chattering calmly in my mental world just a moment ago.
The world of images that used to buzz noisily became eerily quiet as if it had never been so, and perhaps because it had suddenly become quiet after being extremely noisy, the feeling of discomfort was not a joke.
“What are you doing…!?”
[There’s Faust, who hates leisure, and Stella, who always laughs and is in a bad mood, so it’s uncomfortable to be there. If she’s going to be there, it’s better here.]
Just as when I contacted Cerberus, Seraphia’s thoughts were transferred to me through that contact, through the hand of the light deity that came in contact with me, Seraphia’s thoughts were transferred to the light deity.
Like Stella’s Thought, which is helping her fight in my world of images, Seraphia’s Thought was once a God of Light with the Spirit of Light, so it seems that she can control the Spirit of Light to some extent.
“I created you and recognized you as a god of light. But how dare you do something like this without even knowing grace – ugh?!”
The right hand of the God of Light trembled, and then he struck himself in the face. That right hand clearly contains Seraphia’s will.
…She really is an unpredictable year. I thought it was a big problem, but instead of being a big problem, it actually helped.
“This scum-“
“Daddy!!”
Quaaa!
“-Khaaa?!”
And the time when the Spirit of Light was held captive by Seraphia’s thoughts was just enough time for the warrior party to adjust their posture.
The warrior party, who had cleared away all the dust everywhere, saw me and the Spirit of Light fighting each other and hastily resumed the attack.
From Noble mtl dot com
Light’s Thought, which was unable to properly use defensive magic due to the interference caused by Serapia’s Thought, is directly pierced by the magic mine created by Lucia.
It’s not just magic mines.
All attacks, including the slash made by Iris, the bomb of light made by Celestine, the arrow made by Lena, and the awl of mana made by Irene, all strike the God of Light at the same time.
Blood mixed with mana, magic energy, and divine power is scattered everywhere from the attacked area, and as soon as the scattered blood touches the ground, it makes a whistling sound and disappears into smoke.
“…Did you knock it down?”
“It’s a shame. If I had left my body intact, I could have enjoyed it at night.”
And that scene made the warrior party confident of victory.
I repeatedly told them not to say useless things like “I’ve done it”, But no matter how bad it was, it seems that this terrible scene forced the warrior party to think of such thoughts.
Honestly, so do I.
You can see bones that have been chopped off along with the flesh, and there are several huge holes like that, so you can’t expect it to be fine.
“These lowly things…!”
“Huh…?”
“…Is it still moving?”
“So, don’t make it sound like you defeated it when you’re not sure!! It happened just like Faust said!!”
But unfortunately, an absurd phenomenon is happening right before our eyes.
Time is rewound backwards.
The blood and flesh scattered on the ground turned into ash and dust and disappeared, eventually teleporting back to where they were originally supposed to be.
It feels as if I have seen a material being broken down into molecules and then stacked one by one and reassembled into its original form.
“First of all, starting with you…!”
[Pfft…!]
The Spirit of Light puts his hand into his chest with his fingers raised. The unpleasant sound of flesh being torn apart echoes everywhere.
The God of Light, who took a posture as if he were clutching his own heart, soon tightened his arms and pulled out the hand that had been stuck in his chest.
And in that hand… There was a small yellow bead. This is the bead that contains Seraphia’s thoughts.
[Seraphia!!]
Stella, who had kept her mouth shut and focused on supporting me until now, let out a scream.
Even though Stella clearly knew that Seraphia was plotting to kill her, she died obediently and handed over the God of Light to Seraphia, but it seems that she did not hate Seraphia and had affection for her as a villain in her own way.
I also feel a bit of guilt for entrusting him with the terrible task of being the God of Light.
“Get the price you deserve for defying the Creator without even knowing the subject!!”
Kwasik!!
When the spirit of light strengthens his hand and breaks the orb containing Seraphia’s thoughts with all his might, the surroundings are filled with brilliant golden light, although only for a moment.
A light so brilliant that it covers the light always emitted by the divine power of light.
…Are you saying this is a halo-like reflection?
“hahahahaha!! That’s right, that’s the punishment for going against it – big?!”
Peooeok!
Get rid of Seraphia’s thoughts and hit the cheering face of the God of Light with your fist.
I don’t think I’ll take any significant damage from a fist… But I still wanted to punch something.
It makes me feel bad to laugh like that while looking at myself.
Kwaaang!!
The spirit of light that hit the ground with my fist scrapes the ground and creates a huge canyon in the ground.
Normally, if you were attacked with this intensity, it would be natural for you to die and it would be normal if you were torn to pieces, but my body, which is imbued with the spirit of light, is very strong, so there is no major trauma on the outside.
“I don’t understand your way of thinking. It’s to the point where I’m convinced that something in the world is better than nothing. When I look at you, I can understand why I did so much to get rid of things called divine power.”
“I don’t understand… That’s what I want to say…!”
The spirit of light shakes off the dust from its body and clicks its misaligned jawbone to answer my words.
“Why on earth do you care so much about the lives of lesser things with such power? You don’t have to kill precious beings, so what on earth does it have to do with killing people who have nothing to do with you?”
It seems that the Spirit of Light truly cannot understand my actions.
These words are simply shouted out, but you can tell that they are speaking with their true intentions without the slightest selfishness.
“The great flood is essential for the development of the world!! The advancement of life and civilization means getting rid of all the weak-“
“It’s noisy. I don’t know if it’s killing me, but do I need a reason to even save it?”
“…You guy.”
The God of Light must have thought I was joking as his face contorted in anger.
It’s not a joke.
I’m saving it because I just want to save it, but I need some reason or basis for that.
