“He’s there.” Sora pointed to a minister’s building below.
Elysia replied with a slight nod. She requested to start their mission from the top-ranked participants with high authority. As a result, Sora guided her to this place.
*Bzzt*
Elysia used her sacred vision and teleported to the target’s study room.
Evelyn, Sora, and the little bat were behind Elysia, ready to jump into the action. However, the target just sat at his study table without doing anything. The target simply intertwined his fingers and rested his chin there as if he was waiting for sothing.
*Tap*
Elysia deactivated her flight support. She and Evelyn landed on the floor, making a bit of noise.
“You arrived sooner than I expected.” The minister muttered without looking back. He could guess who had co for him at this point.
“You shouldn’t be participating in that dead match. You’ve beco a sinner without anyone knowing you’re the mastermind behind so cases.” Elysia disguised her voice like a superior one.
“I can bear the sin, but not my family. Tell , what will you do if your family is in danger and can only be saved by your choices?” The minister looked at the photo on his desk with a aningful gaze.
“Consequences are present in every choice.” Elysia responded in a cold tone, but her mood said otherwise.
“Participants are a source of trouble and chaos. They deserve to be removed to reduce the damage they cause. I act as law enforcent.” The minister sighed.
“Including yourself?” Elysia responded curtly.
“…” The minister was silent for a mont and smiled self-deprecatingly. “I guess you’re right.”
Elysia then didn’t linger any further and took the chess piece quickly, accurately, and carefully. Her current target was surprisingly resigned to the situation.
She could leave the matter of punishnt or consequences this participant would receive to nature spirits to determine. So, business here was considered done.
“You’ve been eliminated. The tribulation will co to you soon. You can prepare yourself and repent while you still have ti.” Elysia turned around and prepared to leave.
The minister clutched his chest. He felt his strength disappear significantly, and sothing was missing from him. He knew that he would not be able to win in front of the absolute, and so he made no attempt to fight back. However, he did not just give up on his primary goal.
“Wait, do you know about the Guardian of Dream? Soone nad Elysia, the inventor of the mysterious antidote, is part of your plan too, right? What is your main goal? Save the world?” The minister imdiately stood up and turned around.
He held his breath because the pressure to look at the executioners firsthand was soul-defying. They were two people in all black robes. No characteristics could be described since he could only see their backs.
“The God Ga will end soon. There is no winner. We are only the enforcers of the world’s laws.” Elysia muttered softly before leading her group out of the room.
*Poof*
The minister was stunned for a few minutes to stare into the corner of the room where the executioners had last been. They could disappear into thin air and eliminate participants instantly. The God Ga was dood to fail due to their interference.
“…” The minister looked at his hands. He was still shaking just because of those executioners. They were the ones at the peak of power rankings.
“Wow, that’s fast action and incredibly peaceful. We can track down the leader deity with this chess piece. Shall we track down the deity now?” Sora jumped up and down with joy.
“No, not now. We will first eliminate so of the participants in this city and its surroundings.” Elysia shook her head. She looked at the city below with a distant gaze.
“Hey, I have a suggestion. There is an association mber like in Kyoto. She is facing soone strong and incredibly troubleso. Even though that person is only a mortal, he is a participant with a fragnt of Thunder God’s power. So, can you go there and eliminate him?” Darkness ca out of Elysia’s hood and flew in front of Elysia’s face.
“…” Elysia consulted with Elena for a mont, then glanced at Evelyn. “Good, let’s go to Kyoto.”
After saying that, Elysia took everyone away to fly to Kyoto. The distance from Tokyo to Kyoto was not that far if it was reached by high-speed flying. It only took a few minutes.
An old church stood firmly and well preserved on the outskirts of Kyoto. It was so quiet, as if no one was using that place anymore, but Darkness just flew in through the open window.
“Nana~ Where are you? I ca to visit you~” Darkness transford into a woman. She walked around the main hall as if looking for soone.
Elysia and Evelyn entered the room and waited in silence.
‘Ely, I think the one Darkness is looking for… She is sleeping under the table on the altar over there. This demoness pretended not to notice that nun or sothing?’ Elena muttered in wonder.
‘Ah, she’s awake.’ Elysia shrugged her shoulders slightly and gestured for Evelyn to go with her.
“Nana~ Where are you?” Darkness went over to the altar.
“You’re as noisy as ever, Darkness. Do I need to purify you with holy water?” Nana rolled on the floor while hugging a giant white stuffed lamb doll.
“Ah, there you are. How are you? Still fine since the last ti we t? We’ve co to defeat that troubleso Thor. Will you co with us?” Darkness sat on a bench near Nana and crossed her legs casually.
“We? You didn’t co alone?” Nana frowned.
“Yeah, I ca with two powerful angels in dark robes.” Darkness looked back, but she couldn’t find the two people she was looking for. “Hey, where did they go?”
“Thor? You are a newly ascended deity. The burns on your body were caused by your recent battle, am I right?” Elysia revoked her invisibility. She was already beside the nun who was lying on the floor.
“Hou~ can you tell?” Nana grinned and narrowed her eyes at the ladies who sohow appeared out of thin air.
“Wha, you surprised . You can sotis disappear undetected, which is really scary.” Darkness gasped in surprise.
She then explained a bit. “He’s not that Thor, but the fake who pretends to be the real deal. His speed and combat power are really troubleso even for deities. Our strength is limited in the mortal realm because of the world’s limitation.”
“Are you counted into it?” Evelyn asked in a disguised voice as well.
“I can be relied on, but as for direct combat… I’d rather solve the problem with tricks and gimmicks because it’s more elegant.” Darkness turned her face away. She wasn’t very good at fighting. If she could, she would avoid a direct battle.
‘Oh~ So, the deities aren’t so powerful here. Their power is put under the limit by Earth’s laws! However, I believe so can break that rule like the previously ntioned Evil God.’ Elena dropped her hand onto her open palm upon the realization.
“You want to challenge that mafia boss? You look strong enough, but can you beat him? For you to know, he has an ultimate skill called Thunder God Fury. When he turns into that form, he is invincible for a certain period of ti.” Nana got up from the floor and sat down on the bench.
“Mafia boss, huh… Is he in this town?” Elysia looked out the window.
“Yes. What are you going to do?” Nana nodded slightly.
“We’ll find him and eliminate him head-on.” Elysia turned around and headed out of the church with Evelyn.
“Are you out of your mind!? There’s no plan or-” Nana flinched in surprise, but Darkness stopped her.
“Watch your speech, Nana. They are executioners who move with nature spirits’ assistance under Earth Mother’s request. I have requested their cooperation. We will move with them to pave the way back to the Heaven Realm. Let’s follow them.” Darkness spoke in a whisper-like voice.
“Hm? But, your origins are in the underworld. Look now, you care so much about heaven.” Nana was confused for a mont, but she imdiately smiled faintly as if she was making fun of her new friend.
“Well, it’s only because of that hypocritical Goddess. I’ll be fcked up if sothing terrible happens to her.” Darkness snorted and hurried off to follow Elysia’s team.
“…” Nana was stunned for a mont, but she only heaved a subtle sigh. She tidied her nun habit and then took her secret weapon from inside her big doll. After that, she rushed to follow Darkness.
There was a secret bar near a well-known shopping center. Few people understood that place was not just an ordinary bar in a hidden location.
So people were going in and out of the bar like regular visitors, but their behavior was a bit suspicious.
“Alcohol, narcotics, and human trafficking, huh… This gang is so terrible. That place is a cri den.” Elysia scanned deep into the secret bar with her sacred vision. She just needed a glance and knew there was far more cri than her eyes could see.
“Kill the uncooperative. We will counter their resistance with vicious precision.” Sora tried to incite violence as she craved it.
‘Evelyn, our elimination target is a mafia boss in that place. The mafia gang has committed so many cris, but I ask you. If you face that mafia boss head-on, can you win?’ Elena sent telepathy to Evelyn.
‘If I give my all, I believe I can win. That guy nad Thor possessed lightning abilities. I can beat him.’ Evelyn replied with a resolute answer. A glimr of lightning flashed through her fists.
‘Good, let’s see what you can do. Ely and I will assist you, but you are the main character in this mission. Retreat if we say so. Think of this as an experience for you to deal with bad humans. Sora will guide you from here.’ Elena shared her plan. She gave an important role in Evelyn’s future character developnt.
‘Leave it to . Please your assistance.’ Evelyn took out her dual daggers as she glanced at her best friend.
