Chapter 304 – A Declaration of War.

"Alright, pet, your mission, which you will accept since you have no choice, will be to keep an eye on the maid." Akagi said as she sat on the edge of the bed in Catkagi form. "Ensure that she doesn't try getting in my way, and watch out for her seduction tricks! I don't need to come back to the room and see that." She snickered.

"I don't swing that way." Amakusa sighed.

"In fairness, a lot of other girls said that to me, and they almost all gave in in the end." Elariel giggled.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

{Though Shiroe isn't my type. She is cute, don't get me wrong, and the arrogance is adorable, but she's a bit too shy where it counts for my taste.} (Elariel)

"Maybe we should sick her on Naomi then?" Yumi laughed as she pet Akagi on the head.

"Kana would fucking kill me." Akagi laughed. "But getting on with things." She leaped off the bed and returned to normal. "Don't let her leave this room. Without her power, Elariel will be easy to stop, so I doubt she can overpower you."

"There's no reason to put me under guard. It's not like I can go anywhere with you holding my leash." Elariel said as she glanced at Amakusa, which caused Halifax to laugh.

{This room seems to have TWO pets.} (Halifax)

"Maybe, but I don't trust you not to have some last-minute change of heart when I go to kill one of the other Gods." Akagi figured that Elariel might try to warn her at the last minute out of a sense of comradery. "I have a specific plan for how I want things to go, and I'm not about to risk an unknown factor like you throwing it off."

"I agree with Akagi." Halifax nodded, not trusting Elariel. "I've known you long enough to know that trusting you is a poor decision. Better that you remain here where you can't fuck things up for us than bringing you with."

"Fine, do whatever you want." Elariel shrugged. "But once you've killed Tahena the Capital is going to explode. They'll likely lock down everything and I'm going to bet that another God will show up to investigate."

{I don't imagine that this is going to go well...} (Elariel)

"That's fine. If another one comes to say, then I'll just delete them." Akagi replied. "As for the chaos? That's part of the plan." She winked before turning to leave, swallowing Yumi into her shadow as she approached the door.

"Wait for me." Halifax followed her, leaving Elariel alone with Amakusa.

"And there they go." Amakusa hopped onto the bed. “Off to cause all kinds of fucking hell...”

"I imagine this had been hard on you, Shiroe. Please forgive me for dragging you into this mess." Elariel apologized.

"It was fun until I found out the truth." Amakusa flopped onto her side. "Being the Hero, saving the world... All that was fun... But to find out that I did something as fucked up as this..."

{If this were anyone else, I'd be suspicious of an ambush, but I highly doubt that anyone would suspect an attack on a God. Killing an Avatar wouldn't normally do anything, and the people of this world are generally not foolish enough to anger Gods who can and will hunt them down.} (Akagi)

"Next!" Tahena called out to Akagi, who slowly walked up to the Goddess. "My child, what ails you? Please tell me so that I may give you my Divine Blessing." She looked at Akagi, not batting an eye at the fact that she could barely make out parts of her face.

{Good to see that hiding my energy is so effective.} (Akagi)

"Death haunts me, My Lady." Akagi replied in a weak and raspy voice. "I have been beset with a terrible curse, and my body is slowly fading away." She showed her right hand, which had been changed into a dry and withered form to give it added effect.

"Oh, you poor dear!" Tahena put her hand over her mouth in shock, which Akagi could tell was half real and half fake. "This is truly terrible! Tell me, who did this to you?"

"I know not her name, only that she claimed to be a Goddess." Akagi said, fake sadness in her voice. "But I know that couldn't be possible! For a Goddess would never do such a horrible thing to innocent people."

"A Goddess?" Tahena furrowed her brow but shook away confusion after a moment. "You're right, my child. A Goddess would never harm the innocent, but that is a powerful curse. So tell me, what are you willing to give to be rid of such a blight?" She smiled.

"What can I give?" Akagi asked with a weak voice, feigning desperation.

"It needs to be of equal value for balance to be maintained, so try and think of what that might be." Tahena continued to smile.

{Equal value, huh?} (Akagi)

"If... If it needs to be of equal value..." Akagi smirked. "Then I think your blood will do!" In an instant, Akagi summoned and plunged the Black Sunrise into Tahena's chest, shocking everyone including the Goddess.

"W-What?" Tahena was completely caught off guard, and the massive amount of pain she could feel coursing through her body left her unable to do anything in retaliation.

"Then again..." Akagi quickly pulled her blade from the Goddess's chest before spinning around dramatically and slicing Tahena's head from her shoulders, killing her. "The blood of a Goddess isn't that special." She laughed as the head flew in the air before catching it by its hair and holding it up for the terrified and panicked crowd to see.

"In the name of Demon Lord Akagi Dumetor, I have taken the life of the Goddess Tahena!" Akagi began to laugh psychotically as people started screaming. "And soon all the Gods will fall to the Demon Lord!"

{All hail the Demon Lord.} (Akagi)
