Chapter 451 Outsmarted
The reason because I ca to kill this avatar was simple, to find the reason behind the Daemon God’s actions.
Just hearing the keyword ’sacrifice’ it ntioned plus his threat towards Terese is enough to make suspicious.
After all, I’m currently trying to face an Immortal that could arrive at this world at any ti. The slightest strangeness is enough to make take action.
And even although I found clues on the elves’ mories about a possible plan of that Immortal, I’m not naïve enough to think that is his only plan. He probably has two, three, four, or even tens of different plans to advent at this world.
Stopping all these plans is virtually impossible, even for . Well, perhaps I can do it with the help of Ysnay, but it will surely make Emilia notice , and if she attacks and the unknown Immortal decides to use that opportunity to arrive in this world, my goal will be in very grave danger.
Thus, I need to be as careful as possible, trying to stall the unknown Immortal long enough until I’m completely recovered. anwhile, I have to try to find a way to solve my problem with Emilia.
Well, resolving Emilia’s situation would have been pretty easy in normal circumstances. I’m sure that if I sweet-talk her a little bit I’ll be able to convince her to help to fight against that Immortal.
Unfortunately, I’m about to attain my greatest goal.
And I’m afraid Emilia will not allow that.
Just like Ysnay said, Emilia is incredibly possessive. And although I’m not sure if she will truly kill the girls if she learns of my plans, there is a high chance of that happening.
At this point, I can’t take such risk.
That is the reason I have not confronted Emilia yet. I’m waiting for my strength to recover as much as possible. Only then I will be confident of defeating her.
Returning to the current situation, after I killed the avatar of the Daemon God, I proceeded to grab the fragnt of his soul he used to create the avatar and used my soul to invade it.
Almost instantly, I felt the world around shake.
A powerful will descended upon . This pressure seed to scream in anger, incensed against my actions.
It was the World’s Will!
It did not seem pleased by the fact I was doing this to one of its watchdogs!
But I don’t care.
I snorted coldly. Imdiately, my will pushed the World’s Will away, shrugging it off easily.
I was soone who went against the Universe’s Laws once. A re Wolrd’s Will is not enough to make sweat.
After that, I continued with my process.
However, my goal was not just this fragnt of soul.
Instead, I need it as a dium to invade the main soul of the Daemon God!
I used the connection between this fragnt and the main soul to break into the Daemon God’s soul.
[Who Dares!!!?] A roar of rage resounded in my consciousness. At the sa ti, a word of fire seed to surge towards my soul, trying to burn it.
But I did not care. Without even bothering to defend, I directly went after the god mories, searching for the information I need.
[AAGGHHHHHHHH!!!! BASTARD!!!] The god scread in pain.
I frowned.
"Shut up."
Using my will, I suppressed the Daemon God’s soul completely before focusing once more in searching through the god’s mories for the information I needed.
But at that mont, my expression changed.
Because a voice different than the Daemon God could be heard chuckling.
[Thank you, my brethren.]
Then, I watched in surprise as sothing appeared on the depths of the Daemon God’s soul, quickly spreading through the rest of the soul like a terrifying infection.
It was a seed, but one different from the ones I had found before. It was more complete, more perfect, designed to take over the soul of a god.
And when I suppressed the Daemon God’s soul, I gave it the opportunity it needed to replace the owner of this soul.
"Not so easy," I grunted. Instantly, my soul turned into a terrifying sword that severed the Daemon God’s soul into two!
But imdiately after that, the Daemon God’s soul regenerated as though nothing would have happened, turning whole once more.
And by this point, the original consciousness on it had been completely replaced.
At this point, this soul was no longer the Daemon God’s soul.
Instead–
[To think you would bite the bait so easily.] The unknown Immortal chuckled softly.
I clicked my tongue. It looks like I was outsmarted this ti.
As expected, no Immortal is simple.
However–
"You underestimate a bit too much," I said and extended my hand, revealing [Reality Render] once more. "You are just a clone, and a clone is not enough to go against ."
As soon as my words finished, [Reality Render] cut through space!
At this point, I didn’t have the freedom to care if Emilia detects my presence or not. If I don’t kill this clone now, the situation will turn much worse.
Space was compressed at unimaginable levels. When my sword was swung down, the distance between and the Immortal was reduced to zero.
At the sa ti, my soul lit up, enhancing the power behind my attack to a whole new level. This was definitively the strongest attack I have executed in this lifeti.
Even the unknown Immortal was unable to endure it! In front of such a powerful sword attack, the soul it just got was turned into smithereens.
But in the next second, the soul reford once more.
And instead of becoming whole, it turned into hundreds of fragnts that ’looked’ at .
[You are right, the current is unable to go against you, but if it’s just escaping, I can do it.]
When he finished speaking, the fragnts of his soul quivered.
Then, they flew in hundreds of different directions at unimaginable speed, only leaving behind so words.
[Now I’m here, it’s just a matter of ti before my true body descends. Until our next eting, my brethren.]
I frowned briefly before sighing helplessly.
I did not even bother to chase after these hundreds of fragnts.
After all, even if I give my everything, I’m not confident in finding them all.
He is also an Immortal. He surely has a way to hide from my search.
Moreover–
Looking in the direction of the Beastkin Alliance, I could feel a powerful pressure approaching.
Thus, I stepped across space once more, leaving this place.
It looks like I need to accelerate my preparations even more.
And perhaps, I should consult Ysnay.
...
Less than twenty seconds after the battle between the unknown Immortal and Claus.
A tear appeared on the fabric of space. Slowly, the tear expanded and opened up, revealing the beautiful and petite figure of a fox girl.
Blood-red eyes, golden-red hair, and a terrifying presence that made the world itself tremble.
When the girl crossed through the tear on space, her fox ears and small nose twitched slightly.
Then, she smiled innocently.
"I can sll dad’s presence. He was fighting soone!"
The girl’s eyes lit up. Excited, she started to look around in search of clues about her dad’s location.
"Mmm... How strange... The person that dad was fighting did not seem very strong. A god? But why dad used so much strength against him?"
Emilia did not understand, but she did not care too much. As long as she could find her dad, nothing more mattered.
Soon, however, her ears dropped in disappointnt.
"It looks like dad left when he felt my arrival... Dad, why are you still avoiding ?"
Emilia’s face turned sad and gloomy.
But soon, her sadness disappeared.
Replaced by resolution and determination.
"It doesn’t matter. I’ll find you soon, dad. As soon as I recover, I’ll go for you. And then, we will finally be together."
... Forever and ever.
