"J-just what do you know? And what are you, really?" Syr couldn't help but stutter.
However, Kisuke didn't entertain her question, finished his drink, and stood up, "It's about ti we cut this short."
Since he'd already reached his goal of further 'poking the hornet's nest', he decided to go back.
Obviously, Syr was reluctant, very reluctant. If before, Kisuke was just a mysterious and amusing child, now he looked like a bottomless abyss. It beca clear to Syr… Freya, that everything Kisuke had shown her was fake without her seeing through it. She thought that she knew, or at least, had a clue to what he could do, but it turned out that everything was just her misconception that Kisuke intentionally fed to those who were watching him. On top of that, it seed that he knew so much more about her than she'd originally thought.
The combination of those gave Freya a strange mixture of confusion, suspicion, curiosity, fear,… and exhilaration. A contrasting feeling that was born from the fact that she was a Goddess with the ultimate dream of finding her 'eternal companion'.
But regardless of what she thought, Kisuke had already decided to leave and continue this at another ti. By revealing small bits of information, he would be able to get her attention away from Sona, Aika, and Koneko. And even if she decided to interfere despite that, she'd have second thoughts.
Seeing that Kisuke didn't stop cleaning up, Syr gritted her teeth, 'You're forcing my hand.'
Even though she didn't want to use it, the desire to know more pushed her to a decision to use her power, "Kisuke-san."
Calling out to him, their eyes t and Syr's eyes turned pink and glowed brightly, "Tell who you really are and what you know."
However, the result that she was presented with was far from desirable, as Kisuke just stared at her for a few seconds before chuckling, "Save your efforts. That sort of thing won't work on ."
Syr's eyes widened even further. As a matter of fact, she was actually using her charm ability to the limit without revealing her Arcanum. It was her first ti using this ability to this extent, as even in those instances that she used it on other people, it wasn't even half of this.
'F-for it to be totally disregarded… Is it his natural resistance?… Or could it be…' She didn't want to think about it, the possibility of Kisuke having a stronger soul than most Gods. It really wasn't possible within her common sense.
Because if Kisuke really did have such a strong soul, in accordance to the rules of this world, he would have ascended as a God, but clearly, the person in front of her was not a Deity, nor did he have any indications that he was about to beco one.
So it was only natural that Freya would conclude that it was because of his natural resistance. The main reason why she didn't want to use her charming ability as much as possible was that it wrapped her target's soul with her own 'color' and even after she stopped using it, it'd linger for so ti, and for those with a very low soul strength, they'd be tainted by her 'color' until they go through reincarnation.
She assud that Bell had a natural resistance due to his 'brilliance' and 'flawlessness', but even then, he couldn't possibly resist her charm's full power, which was a lot stronger than most Goddesses of Beauty due to the other Authorities that compounded her Divinity.
Syr could only stare with her eyes shining in power as Kisuke continued cleaning up without minding her. More than ever, she wanted to see through his soul which was covered by the dirty gray fake soul. Nevertheless, she didn't know how he hid his soul nor did she have any ability at her disposal to peer through it without breaking the rules of the Lower World.
But because of a certain soone, her wish that she thought couldn't be granted, would be realized. Whether it was a fortunate or unfortunate event, even Kisuke didn't expect such a thing would happen.
While Kisuke was disregarding that mild prickly feeling that was coming from Syr, his Reiatsu-Ki started stirring up from the depths of his consciousness and he imdiately figured out what was happening, 'Benihi!?'
From within his inner world, Benihi was trying to materialize herself in the outside world without Kisuke's permission. With a great deal of intensity, Benihi replied, 'Let slice and dice that woman!'
'Stop! It doesn't affect in any way! Why are you doing this!?' However, due to her sudden movent, Kisuke failed to contain the exponentially expanding Reiatsu-Ki that instantly broke his carefully crafted cover and revealed what his soul looks like to Syr.
Kisuke did his best to contain Benihi, who was now running wild and heard her say, 'I know you're not affected, but the feeling she is giving , I don't like it! I want to cut her up! Release and let cut her up!'
anwhile, Syr could only stare blankly at Kisuke, more specifically, his soul, despite the perilous threat breathing down on her that was coming from him, '…What… is this?'
Within Syr's eyes was Kisuke's reflected soul. All souls, even those of Deities, had the basic form of an orb from her perspective. Although there were individual differences, it didn't go much beyond that.
Kisuke's soul, on the other hand, while still in the shape of an orb, its blinding crimson brilliance was sothing she'd never witnessed before and the two halo rings caught her attention even more.
These two halo rings were placed on the top and bottom of Kisuke's spherical soul, radiating the power of opposing forces. The white halo ring on top emitted a power that could be interpreted as 'salvation' and 'order', while the black halo ring's power could be expounded as 'destruction' and 'chaos'.
Innurable questions flooded Syr's mind, so much that she was paralyzed in place, like, 'How co his soul is too 'bright'?', 'How co his soul is too 'clean'?', or 'How co his soul's form is different from the rest?'
But even with those in mind, the question that bothered her the most was, 'How co his soul hasn't torn itself apart?'
With such extre opposing forces, she couldn't fathom how Kisuke could still exist and what had he done to achieve this monstrosity?
A few seconds later, Kisuke was able to forcibly suppress Benihi and returned the dirty veil on his soul. It was only then that he was able to give so attention to Syr. When he looked at her, Kisuke noticed her slackened expression and minutely shaking body, 'Haah… Now how should I go through with this?'
While thinking about what to do next, Syr was finally able to get hold of herself after the view of his soul disappeared and asked with a shaking voice, "You… Just what are you?"
To that question, Kisuke smiled and answered, "Obviously, a Human~!"
