I was trying to understand the surroundings more carefully this time when he came to talk to me, but I noticed a big difference from when we last met.
Allan was the classic fool who believed in the path of justice, he always had a very clear understanding of what was right and wrong, so he expected the same from others.
He always saw the gray line that divides these two concepts with clarity and something used only to divide the two sides, only recently did he realize that this line has the depth of an endless Abyss and the two sides that he himself always saw. they are just extremes of a single totality.
"(His Aura of his is marked by the power of Authority, but that's not all...)" (I)
He was very different from the last time I saw him, but it wasn't a physical difference, but it was easy to notice the difference in his Aura and in his eyes.
His will was much stronger than before, I could also see a firm resolve in his eyes, I couldn't help but laugh as I realized that he had matured.
"(Looks like he's not lost anymore, his will is now firm, I wonder what answer he came up with?)" (I)
"I will no longer question you as before, but I also don't want you to interfere with my decisions regarding my people." (I)
"That depends on what can happen by then." (Allan)
"..." (Allan)
"..." (I)
He tries to suppress me with his Aura and Authority, it seems like he is trying to test me, but unfortunately, his new power means nothing to me that I suffered the pressure of my sisters' Aura for days while training.
"Stop testing your power with me, we have things to do." (I)
"I wanted to know how big our current power gap is, but it looks like it's bigger than before." (Allan)
The difference in our power is mainly because of my evolution that threw me way ahead of the power rankings, this is not a gap he can overcome in a short time.
-------------
In a few minutes, we were all divided into groups, the largest group would face the hideous monsters, because of their special characteristics where they can evade death, and everyone received weapons blessed by Priests of the Church of Death, according to them, these weapons would cause damage to their Souls while leaving marks, once their bodies are dead their souls will be pulled to Hell with no chance of marriage but damage in the world of the living.
But that doesn't mean much to me, Ivan, Hela as well as their Familiar that we possess the Blessing of the Demon Goddess of Death, my Familiars for having my power and Authority flowing to them also receive some of that power indirectly.
My sisters don't count towards this, but they each have their own way of fighting these things.
The three manage to use their Authorities to care for these Creatures, it seems that it would be more difficult for them to use a Blessing from another God other than our Mother.
The other two groups are made up of people ready to harmonize the environment at least enough for me to do my job, this group is made up of many Ancient Elves as well as Freya, Fairy Kings, and Spirit Kings.
The last group is composed of fewer people being them Lorraine, Stella, Ivan, a Saint of Nature who is a half-Elf, and two Heroes being one of Nature and the last of Spirits.
These last three were brought up not long ago, this last group was made up of people who are going to fight the Evil God, I can't even feel the Aura of these people, each one of them is much stronger than me with Ivan being the weakest among all.
Their group would head straight for the World Tree somehow, and the second of the group would spread out in a specific order while waiting for the signal to start a full scale ritual around the World Tree.
As for my group, which was the largest in number, we will attack individually, any group tactics would be useless in this situation and especially in this environment.
I was watching space rippling and distorting in strange ways, there were even patches of land floating upside down with trees growing downwards.
The environment was completely chaotic and meaningless, it would be difficult for someone to move alone while fighting in such a place, but trying to fight in a group would be impossible.
-----------------
"May you all be lucky." (King Uryma)
"(New words, I thought he was going to give a great speech, but it was something so simple and vague.)" (I)
I looked around and realized that there were no weak people here, the weakest perhaps was the Hero of Justice, but even he must have some way to increase his strength, so let him take care of himself.
Everyone was looking at King Uryma, but I was looking at his arm, I could feel the Soul of the World Tree sleeping, the energy destroying his arm would be like the Soul's breath in a simple comparison.
"Are you sure to go alone?" (Diana)
"Yes, I don't trust being able to control my power completely, and real battles are always unpredictable." (I)
"But I hope the 4 of you stay together." (I)
"I still don't know if that's possible, the space in there is too distorted, Lorraine was explaining earlier that there might be special pockets in there, so the size of the area inside must be twice the size we know." (Érica)
"I think we can be separated easily." (Diana)
"Or we can do this." (I)
"< Blood Binding Curse >" (I)
I use my blood to write 4 identical Runes in the air before making each Rune become a mark on Diana, Érica, Kira and Ibuki's body.
"I don't think I need to explain, you should be able to feel it." (I)
"Anything I can explain to them later." (Érica)
"Take care..." (I)
In this Curse I made them be attracted to each other, I also used my Authority, so even in an area covered by the presence of this Evil God, my Curse should work without any problems.
I turn around and run along with other people, all running inside, the space was more than just strange, it was as if the atmosphere around me was more gelatinous, and the gravity was also strange to the abnormal level, I felt the cavity coming from different directions as I was moving, I also felt like my body was being pressed by space to twist along with space, which was painful and uncomfortable.
I will keep running but not slowing down my running but still trying to understand how to move more efficiently but something went wrong when a body falls to the ground it was one of the people who ran along with me but his body was different, to begin with, there was an arm across his abdomen, but before I tried to help, I noticed that there were dark spots on his face and some wounds seem to be opening as some signs of swelling across the body.
"(He is lost.)" (I)
"< Claws of Death >" (I)
I gather only the death characteristic in my Aura in my hands while making the body that was still motionless into pieces, at the end I felt the Blessing of the Death Goddess ignite as a morbid energy passes through my body to my claws, then I feel that something different was achieved.
Soon the space opens up when a string appears out of nowhere tying itself around something I couldn't see, then little by little a purple silhouette became more visible it only lasted a few seconds before the current pulled what supilonhinser the Soul Inside this body, the soul just disappeared into the crack that Hell's current created to get here.
As soon as the Soul was gone I saw what was left of the bizarre creature that had 3 arms and two heads begin to rot until it was a bubbling puddle of goo that stank worse than anything I've ever known before.
Hinata suddenly appears from inside my necklace and stares at the piece of goo while limping with her finger like a child playing with mud, at least that's how I saw it until the moment her arm opened like a 4-petal flower full of sharp teeth, then a big line started to pull this goo in, I was very shocked and it took me a while to stop Hinata from consuming it all.
"Why did you eat that disgusting thing?" (I)
"Good taste... life... death... yummy..." (Hinata)
"..." (I)
Sometimes I prefer not to understand what she says, I touch the ground where the goo was, and I can feel the residual traces of Curse, Life Energy, and Death Energy.
But before I put all the pieces together I was surrounded, this time there were dozens, all different shapes and sizes, I can't even tell the races of these things or at least what they once were.
"They don't look that strong..." (I)
"< Chain of Death >" (Hinata)
Suddenly black crystal chains covered by thorns with sharp points crossed Hinata's body from all sides without her showing any reaction.
These chains go to the creatures and trap them all before pulling them violently towards them, it was at this moment when Hinata's body loses its shape as her body becomes five times the size and several holes open through her body like eyelids. of one eye opening with the difference of only having darkness inside, then several giant worm heads come out and devour the bizarre creatures before traveling the way they came as Hinata's body returns to normal with her hand running over her stomach.
"Yummy..." (Hinata)
"..." (I)
