Chapter 238 - Fists Itching For To Beat Something

'Oh no... Don't tell me...' I felt like fainting.

[HAHAHAHA! I'm kidding. The look on your face though when you thought that you would be permanently in this armor of yours hahaha! Anyway, even though there is a camouflage runic pattern that would make it so it doesn't look like you are wearing the armor, you can't technically take it off]

I felt my heart drop again after feeling a brief sense of relief.

[HEY! Don't faint yet! I didn't finish speaking!] After hearing this, a tiny sense of hope began to appear in my heart

[The armor and all the equipment have been linked to your soul and mana. It means even though your soul space is barely big enough to fit that egg you swallowed earlier, it had been expanded just enough to store the armor and accessories. Usually, that is the only way to create a soul space but for some reason, you could open one up, no matter how small it was, without even reaching the astral plane yet. In conclusion, you can store the armor and accessories in your soul but can also choose to wear them at all times while using the disguise feature to make them look like normal clothes even though that does take a little bit of mana every second or so.]

Only after she had finally stopped speaking could I let out a sigh of relief.

"Why didn't you say that from the start!" I cried out loud, making the beasts look at me weirdly

[Well, it is kind of fun to see you put a dreaded expression on hahahaha]

Gritting my teeth, I promised that the day Hela gets a physical body would also be the day where her howls of pain would be heard throughout the nation as I constantly slammed her face into the ground as she begged for help.

The scene of her begging made me put on a dazed smile while simultaneously causing the beasts to feel a shiver down their spines.

[HEY! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT!] 

'A just remembered a really good memory' I smiled

[You know I can read your mind, right?]

'Yep'

[And you still lied?]

'And you still asked?' My smile grew larger while the scene of my dragging her face through the mud before throwing her at a mountain repeated in my mind in a loop.

Before I knew it, we were almost at the surface but due to me imaging a nice scene over and over again, I was completely caught off guard when I felt something on the surface looking down at us.

"Halt" I whispered making all the beasts stop moving.

I looked forward and saw a single blood-colored mana signature at the top, allowing me to take a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry. She is an ally" I sighed while walking forwards.

'Hey Hela? How do I put the everything inside my soul space?' I purposely walked slowly so I could ask a few questions before finally meeting Rose.

[Just envelop what you want to put inside with your mental strength. To do that, you just have to really focus on what you want to take in and I'll do the rest of you.]

Listening to what Hela said, I closed my eyes and did as she told me before finally starting to feel something leaking out of my head and circulating around all my armor pieces, accessories, and bo staff. The next instant, they all disappeared and left behind my Discarded Devils suit.

I straightened out the suit a little before walking out and being greeted by the fist of Rose that I easily dodged as I had seen it coming with my clairvoyance. Of course, I would have been slammed across the forest if she had used her full power and speed, no matter how far into the future I could see. 

Another problem that would have emerged would be the double vision, where someone as skilled as her might find multiple places to attacks depending on how I try to defend, and since she was so much stronger than me, I would have probably not been able to calculate the number of possibilities she could go for.

After all, foresight was not omnipotent.

"Hey Rose" I waved at her nonchalantly, as if I had just seen her on the walk to school

"Don't hey Rose me! What the hell are you doing here" She looked a lot more enraged than she usually did whenever she was annoyed. Plus, for someone who was called 'the cold-faced devil', her face right now was the complete contrast of that nickname.

"Cleaning up, why?" I smiled innocently which she could see now that I was not wearing a mask.

"C-CLEANING UP!" She would have exploded in anger if she didn't know that not even a few hundred meters away were 5 other people with almost equal power to her. Even though they were almost equal to her, she could probably fight all of them off for a couple of dozen minutes before finally tiring out.

With a sigh, she clenched her fist and muttered "Let's go home" Just loud enough for me to hear. However, she then froze in her place and looked back just to see the countless beasts look at her with a mixture of fear and pity.

'Now that she attacked the attacked the goddess, we can only pray that she comes out of this one alive' They all thought at the same time.

Seeing the way they were looking at her, her mouth twitched before turning her head and looking at me.

"They are?" She pointed at them with her thumb.

"They helped me clean up" I smiled

"Th-they did?" She stuttered in disbelief 

"Yep. Anyway, lets go." I jumped into the sky before shooting off in the direction of the city. The only reason no one realized I was going in the direction was because of the fact that I had chosen to quickly equip my cloak before camouflaging it into a bra and equipping it around my breasts.

Even though like this it did not work very well for assassination or stealth since nothing was covering me, it worked well to hide my mana signature, the natural divine aura that pressured everyone around me and also hid my soul energy so no one other than those above the cosmic realm, whatever that meant, could see it.

Since I had launched off before Rose could have even put another word in, she gritted her teeth and shot towards me, her fists itching to beat something.
