Chapter 270: I am The Death God!

Kyoya's consciousness drifted to the unknown place.

It would be fine to call this world 'darkness world' as shadows swirled around and everywhere. It was also fine to assume that every person here would find it hard to move around as foothold was one big question.

But the master of this place, the husband, kept moving in one direction with steady and confident steps. It was his body after all.

A world within him brought by the death god's divine energy was slowly dispersing, so Kyoya needed to find 'the origin' or the power where it was accumulated the most.

'I wonder if I will be able to do it…'

Kyoya asked himself on his way.

The dual divinity was already too much for this world, but if he could work with two energies and different systems, then it would be what he desperately yearned for right now.

Because such power would allow Kyoya to rise faster than everyone else and also allow others to keep chasing him!

'Every person at the top has a genuine drive that pushed them here… My drive is…'

Kyoya's steps halted as the white color suddenly appeared before his eyes. It was white hair that belonged to manifestation of humanoid figure. This humanoid figure also clad itself with a dark suit that gently blew behind him.

Who would it be other than Death God himself? Of course, it was manifestation and trial that the husband needed to overcome.

"I will take care of your work and power."

"..."

The husband clenched his hand, then rushed at the manifestation that immediately answered his charge. Both the husband and death god's manifestation were strong and even similar strength wise!

No gap could be found in their exchange, so the whole battle looked like both of them were training instead.

However, Kyoya's heart began to swell with anger.

"Why are you making things harder for me?!"

"..."

Was he really a foreigner to their family? Kyoya followed his father in law's request, worked 200 hundred years as a soul in a death castle so that he could become closer with Xaya's family!

She, despite all, treated and loved the death god's family and even treated him as a father. The reaction and that weak side Xaya just exposed not too long ago was still deeply vivid in Kyoya's mind.

The husband's outrage caused him to lose focus.

"Ugh!"

His enemy brought himself closer to him, then death god's hand tightly warped Kyoya's arm to the side. An unknown death energy like poison spread itself out of its body and began to contamine the husband's arm.

Amidst this pain, the manifestation just kept its head high. If it had eyes, then Kyoya surely would feel like a worse human being looked at by something 'higher'.

"You…"

The husband clenched his teeth tightly.

"You fucking tsundere!"

This pain was necessary, so Kyoya didn't use his powers to ignore it. On the contrary, he used this poison as his fuel to an already burning heart! All his feelings flooded his right arm that swept through the room, then hit the manifestation's head so strongly it flew a few meters behind!

Keeping this momentum alive, Kyoya stomped on the dark floor and rushed after death god's manifestation.

"I will have you and Xaya have a nice family dinner!"

"..."

Once close, Kyoya stated his genuine desire imbued with that anger. He easily conveyed his emotion to the manifestation as it froze on the dark floor. Not knowing that, Kyoya quickly raised his leg to kick and inflict further damage to tsundere death god.

"And if you try to weasel out of it, then I will loudly tell you this!"

BOOM!

The husband's kick gave another trip for the death god as he bounced up on the dark floor a few times with a body that was already frozen from Kyoya's genuine feelings. He rolled on the ground, then his body suddenly dispersed.

It was solely because the husband did the last blow.

"I will tell you that I am The Death God, so fuck off from my work!"

"..."

[You have conquered The Sixth Death God's divine energy.]

[You have become The Sixth Death God's Substitute.]

[The Death God's quest has been updated.]

"Damn tsundere."

-

Kyoya opened his eyes and immediately blushed.

He noticed Akaro's eyes that were deeply looking at him, all in embrace! She immediately let him go after his eyes opened! It was such a nice and rather innocent hug, so Kyoya could help but get disappointed.

"You have succeeded."

"Yes. I did it."

"So why do you look disappointed?"

"Because you no longer hug me, Akaro."

The former goddess just flapped her eyelashes, then turned into cat form that lied close to the husband. In one way, Akaro told Kyoya that she doesn't want to bother with mortal 'things', but there might be more to this instant reaction.

Who knew? Akaro!

"Hehe, I also like cat form. So I succeeded, but the limits came along."

A cat form was also likeable as Kyoya could stroke and hold Akaro without any problem! He laid his hand on her back, then mentioned the limits. Of course, those limits were so heavy yet expected.

"I and Xaya have a quest from Death God to collect and sign souls from this world pillar. Now, I am in charge of this quest and I should be able to hoard the belief from souls for myself. I don't know how to use it exactly, though…"

"We will think of a way. As I said before, we could exploit the gods, but that's unlikely for us without proxy. What about Feniks, though?"

"Feniks… I don't know… Maybe after I get a lot of belief from souls, I will try to speak with him… For now, I must get more disciples for my own divine energy."

"That's smart…"

"Thanks!"

Kyoya decided to go and look over his party for now. Before he left the room, Akaro cheered on him as she said 'Good luck' quietly. It was as if she herself didn't know why she had such an urge to cheer on the husband.

He thanked her with a broad smile, but him stopping also exposed a new change in the husband's appearance.

He stood in front of the mirror and went 'Dude' for a second.

There was one long hair streak in the color of white.

"What's wrong with that?"

"Ugh… I don't know why, but I think all white-haired people try to act cool. Kinda weird I would say."

"It looks good on you."

The husband no longer bothered about this change.
