Supres. In this world, known as gods. But in reality, they weren't. they were simply people who managed to attain a power so high that the world had to take counterasures against them, imprisoning them behind a space.
A space that was still connected to this universe, a pocket universe if one might say. Sa but different as well. There, they have to live their lives happy with the power they gained.
The Supres were usually those that pursued divine power hence their status as a god by the residents of this world.
Just consider it like this, a world where there was nothing. No TV, no internet, no entertainnt of any sort and you had to live in that world for hundreds of decades, anyone would go mad.
Anyone would go mad and desire freedom. But, the greed for power was too much. Although they wished for freedom, they also desired to keep their current power. That was not possible. One would have to give one up for another. If you wanted power, you couldn't stay in this world and if you wanted to stay, give up your power.
The deal was simple but in the end, human nature. As stupid as always. Like, a thief would rather break out of the prison than let go of thievery and be released.
It was the sa for them, they would rather bring havoc in this world than give up their power and live as normal people.
So that brought us to the current issue. With divinity, ca another power. The power of entertainnt. The sole thod of entertainnt for the Supres and it was none other than interference.
Give a little part of your power in turn for directing the person to do the 'God's work'. Like if Eric was directed to kill , he wouldn't question why. He would simply say that it was the will of the 'God'.
That was their entertainnt, having puppets.
However, the Supres of this world seed to have wanted sothing more. They wanted to enter this world, one way or another. And the other one was obviously possession.
"Veronica, I presu," I said as I walked in, closing the door behind . Alicia, or the one possessing her, Veronica, smiled and said, "It seems you do realize who I am, foolish mortal. But to know and not be on your knees yet, that's a sin of the highest accord."
I was very glad she wasn't speaking in 'hadith', 'giveth', or 'tis' type of language. It was still stuck up, but it was easier to converse with at least.
"Yeah, I am not kneeling or anything. You're not here anyway." I said as I stepped closer, without fear because I couldn't sense anything from Alicia. No ounce of divine power.
The answer was clear.
"You dare!" She exclaid and pointed her hand at , only to have nothing happen. Not even a flicker of power. She looked at her hand, confused. Confused as to why her power that could eradicate cities was nowhere to be seen.
"You see, the demons didn't dig in very well," I said as I stepped forward and grabbed her by her hands. Veronica struggled, but she was weak as an unblessed human. She couldn't put up any power.
"The demons dug but they could only dig enough for you to enter your consciousness. No power, nothing else. Just your thoughts." I said as I began to run soul power through Alicia's mind to locate the cavity the parasite had created.
As I located it, I ca in contact with pure divine energy. Free of mana to the point that it could create an apostle.
However, when I tried to push it out, it didn't budge.
"Hmph," A small chuckle of amusent ca from the girl in front of who had stopped struggling and looked at , "It is futile. She and I are one now. While she lives the world of nightmares, I live her life."
She was right. If I were to force that power out, it would also damage Alicia's mind, which could any multitude of dical conditions and I knew that this was no place for brain surgery.
If anything happened to Alicia's mind, I wouldn't be able to save her. Not unless I used so drastic asures at least but that wouldn't co without damage as well.
So, there was only one way left. If it was anyone else, or if it was so ti before, I wouldn't have been able to deal with this. But I could now.
So I let go of her with a smile before I purchased a rope from the shop and before she could react, wrapped her in it like a gift wrapped for opening. Man that was a sight.
"So, might as well have a chat, shall we?" I asked as I took the seat in front while I placed her on the bed. She looked at with calm eyes and muttered, loud enough for to hear, "This is the highest form of humiliation I have received and I will make sure to return the favor."
She wasn't saying empty words, she had the power to defeat . even if I were to reach the pinnacle of the power I could attain in this world, I would still not be a match for her. However, she wasn't that far out of the reach. She was at most in the range of 4000-4500 stat points on average.
I was confident I would be able to deal with that given so ti. But it wasn't like she would be able to stay here for longer anyway. She was threatening , but that vow was for another day, soday, not today.
"Why her?" I asked, seeing as she had no intention of answering my questions, but I still made an effort.
"Isn't it simple? Since you know this much about what I have done, you must know what I am trying to do, right?" She asked, an amused expression on her face.
"I know you're trying to possess her, but why her? Why not one of the apostles?" I asked.
"Then where would the others go?" She counter asked .
She wasn't afraid to reveal that information because she knew I wouldn't be able to do anything to her or anything about their plan.
"Why not just be content with what you have? Why do this?" I asked. Usually, Supres would only have their fun from the other side, never had I ever seen a supre trying possession, an inherent technique of the demons.
"What prisoner would be happy with their confinent?" She once again counter asked, giving no straight reply but it was enough to tell her motive.
But if she knew that much, then she must also know this, "You know you wouldn't be able to utilize your full strength. You will be limited."
Like I said before, I could only reach the power allowed by the limit of this world. Unless that limit was sohow increased, I would never be able to increase my power beyond that. the power allowed by this world is probably around 3000 stat points on average.
She wouldn't be able to utilize her full power, none of them would be able to.
"And why would we need that much power?" This chick really liked to be stubborn and annoying. Why couldn't she just answer simply?
"OS you're just going to leave the rest of your power?" I asked. they would be strong in this world but nowhere near their full strength. They wouldn't be able to leave that power.
She simply smiled at and said, "Mortal, you have no idea what you're dealing with."
True. I had no idea what their plan was. However, why should I care? I didn't know what I was dealing with here but the sa was the truth in her case as well. Not even in their wildest dreams would they understand what manner of being I was.
I smiled and said, "So this is it then."
This conversation was over. The mont she said her last piece, it was obvious she wasn't going to tell anything anymore. Not anything useless at least.
I stood up from my seat and made my way to her. I touched her face once again, putting both of my hands on her temples.
Seeing my actions, she said, "It's no use. I cannot be separated."
"True. But you can be absorbed," I replied. It was unwise to pluck a bacterium from the place where it was attached but it was possible to ease it off by absorbing it using a similar bacteria of a powerful quality that could be controlled and was harmless to the human system.
The bacteria that was injected would travel to the exit, taking along the bacteria of the lower quality. In this case, the bacterium was the divine power of Veronica.
The injected bacteria would be the power of life. My power of life.
"This is going to hurt a lot. And not this you, you you. Back in your prison." I gave a fair warning because she gave enough of the answers I needed.
And then, "AAAHHHH!!!!!"
