Right in front of the World Tree.
Luciel, who had obtained power equivalent to a Supreme God, and Kuwagatack, one of the Magic Bug King’s Four Heavenly Kings, were facing each other.
“Hmph… I’ll say it first. You cannot defeat me!”
“Heeh… Why is that?”
When I asked, Kuwagatack grinned and said,
“What fool would reveal their hand to the enemy!”
“That’s true. Hey, Sinri.”
～～～～～～
Sinri: Kuwagatack’s ability “Time Regression”
→ A limited ability that can only be activated when under the World Tree’s Blessing.
It can rewind time by 10 seconds. At that time, only the ability user can retain their memories.
～～～～～～
Hoh… Time Regression, huh? I see.
So, if he activates the ability the moment he thinks he’s done for, he can go back before he gets done for.
“You can never win! I won’t answer even if you ask why! I’m not complacent! Kuwahahahaha!”
Well, it should be fine.
Sinri already gave a massive spoiler at the beginning.
“Enough with the talk, come at me already.”
“Hmph! Take thisssssssssssssssssssss!”
Kuwagatack lunged at Luciel with a thud.
“He’s fast! Luciel-sama! Please run!”
By the time Oberon warned her, Kuwagatack had already moved right in front of Luciel.
Kuwagatack attacked with the hand axes he held in both hands.
But Luciel lightly twisted her body.
She avoided Kuwagatack’s attack with the bare minimum of movement.
“Amazing! It’s as if she could predict the enemy’s attacks…!”
Oberon was surprised.
～～～～～～
Sinri: By becoming a Supreme God, Luciel has been granted the manifestation of support by Sinri, which was transferred from Master Mika.
～～～～～～
Hoh?
So, in other words?
～～～～～～
Sinri: It means that Luciel, like Master Mika, can now predict attacks with AI.
～～～～～～
I see. So she could know where the attacks were coming from.
Wait, what?
“I didn’t transfer the usage rights of Sinri, though?”
“Didn’t you grant it when you had your Divine Marriage? When you get married, your wallets become shared assets, right?”
“Huh, is that so?”
“That’s how it is…”
I don’t know about that. I’ve never been married.
～～～～～～
Sinri: Unmarriageable woman
～～～～～～
That’s not it. It’s not that I can’t get married, it’s just that I’ve chosen not to.
Even while we were having such a casual conversation, Kuwagatack was still attacking Luciel.
But Luciel, with Sinri’s support, predicted all the attacks.
She evaded everything with minimal movement.
“Haa… haa… Damn it!”
“Is that all? Then… it’s my turn next.”
Luciel held out her right hand.
“Sword of Omniscience (Hoteison).”
“Not that Harisen again…!”
No, it’s different.
Luciel was holding a large sword in her hand.
“! The appearance of the Sword of Omniscience (Hoteison), which was a Harisen, has changed…!”
It used to be a Harisen even though it had “sword” in its name, but now it’s a proper sword.
～～～～～～
Sinri: By becoming a Supreme God, the Divine Familiar Weapon has also evolved.
Into the “Sword of Omniscience (Hoteison) – Complete Form.”
～～～～～～
Complete form, huh…
What kind of power does it have?
“Now it’s my turn! Take thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!”
Luciel slashed with the Sword of Omniscience (Hoteison).
“Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
His torso and body were split in two. But the next moment… Kuwagatack grinned.
“Time Regression, activate…!”
From the moment Kuwagatack was split in two, it should have gone back 10 seconds.
In other words, time should have returned to the point where Luciel was about to slash Kuwagatack… or so it should have.
“Wha, whaaaaa!? T-time isn’t going back!? W-what’s going onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!?”
However, the ability didn’t activate.
Ignoring the shocked Kuwagatack, Luciel said,
“I wouldn’t reveal my hand to the enemy, would I?”
That’s right. So, hey Sinri.
～～～～～～
Sinri: “Sword of Omniscience (Hoteison) – Complete Form”
→ A sword that cuts through all things. That includes abilities and skills.
Luciel cut through Kuwagatack’s ability [Time Regression] and made it impossible to activate.
～～～～～～
“Damn it! Damn it all! World Treeeeeeeeeeeeee! Give me Magic Powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
As the World Tree glowed black, black light stretched out from it towards Kuwagatack.
With a creaking sound, Kuwagatack’s lost lower body regenerated.
Ugh, gross…
～～～～～～
Sinri: Magic Bugs have a much higher regeneration ability than humans. As long as they have Magic Power, Kuwagatack will regenerate any number of times.
～～～～～～
Huh? Did Kabutank also have regeneration abilities?
～～～～～～
Sinri: Affirmative. However, Master Mika defeated him with an attack that surpassed his regeneration.
～～～～～～
I see…
～～～～～～
Sinri: It’s not a retcon, by any means.
～～～～～～
Who are you making excuses to…?
“Hmph, hmph…! It seems you used some kind of power to disable my ability, but it’s useless…!”
From the severed lower half, a new upper body grew with a creaking sound. Ugh, gross…
“As long as the World Tree exists! Magic Bugs are immortal! And we can even regenerate from parts like this!”
With a clatter, the two Kuwagatacks readied their weapons.
“I was careless earlier, but not this time! Take this!”
With a thud, Kuwagatack kicked off the ground and moved at high speed.
“What a troublesome enemy. An ability to rewind time and regeneration… Luciel! Are you okay!?”
Then Luciel nodded confidently.
“I’m fine. Seira-dono, Mika God-dono.”
Luciel smiled calmly.
“Dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
Luciel swung her sword at the Kuwagatack attacking from the right.
Stronger than before.
With a gaown sound, the right Kuwagatack disappeared.
“What!? M-my partner!?”
When did they become partners…?
“Where did you send my partner!? Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Luciel unleashed a second strike.
Kuwagatack split into two again, vertically.
“I just cut through space and sent him to a subspace. Well, it takes a lot of charging to activate it once, though.”
“You cut through spaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!?”
It’s the same as Hakubyō’s ability.
Since she can cut through all things, she can also cut through space.
And she forcibly sent the opponent into the rift in space.
If you leave parts behind, they’ll just regenerate.
“Hmph! B-but…! It’s useless! If I just regenerate again… wait, what!? R-regeneration isn’t starting!?”
The Kuwagatack, split in two, wore a shocked expression.
Magic Power wasn’t being supplied from the World Tree like before.
“Damn it! What’s going on! Magic Power! Hurry up and give me Magic Power! World Treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
But, Magic Power was not supplied from the World Tree.
～～～～～～
Sinri: Luciel used the Complete Form – Sword of Omniscience (Hoteison) to even cut through the connection with the World Tree.
～～～～～～
Seriously…? That’s amazing. That sword is seriously capable of cutting through anything.
Does that mean it can cut me too? How scary…
～～～～～～
Sinri: It is indeed a sword that can even attack Gods, but Luciel loves Master Mika, so she would never cut you.
～～～～～～
Ah… that’s good… huh?
Did Sinri just say something important just now?
～～～～～～
Sinri: We live in a world of diversity now.
b＾ー°）
～～～～～～
What’s with that face… It’s annoying…
“D-damn it! What is that sword…! What is it…! That’s unfair! That’s unfair! Using such a cheat…”
A vein popped on Luciel’s forehead.
“A cheat… you say…?”
Luciel held up her greatsword and said,
“You, who has the World Tree’s Blessing and the power to rewind time, are the one saying thattttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!”
With a zuban! Luciel swung her greatsword.
Space was torn apart.
A black ● appeared in front of her.
“W-what is that hole… n, gu, gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Kuwagatack was sucked into the ●.
It was the same space-tearing strike from before.
“I’m being sucked in! Wha, where is this connected to!?!”
“Who knows. But… let’s just say you can never return to this world again.”
～～～～～～
Sinri: That ● is a hole that leads to the underworld, where the souls of evil people go.
Souls that go to the underworld are removed from the cycle of reincarnation and can never be revived.
～～～～～～
H-how scary…
Huh, that’s just plain scary…
Kuwagatack was completely sucked into the ● with a gyuun!
The ● closed up.
“Phew… I defeated it, Mika God-dono.”
“Y-yeah… good work…”
Luciel smiled brightly… It’s a little scary though…
“L-Luciel… you… you’re dangerous!”
Seira-chan hurriedly shook Luciel’s shoulders.
“You! You’re completely Mika! Your abilities, what you did, it’s all completely Mika! And you sent the enemy to the underworld and don’t feel anything! You’re Mika through and through! You’re being consumed by Mika!”
Being consumed by Mika…
Luciel snapped back to her senses.
“Ah, I… what a dangerous power… I’ve obtained! H-how terrifying… especially that last secret technique…!”
“Yeah, that’s right. So, you shouldn’t use that secret technique too much…”
“Y-yes… There was a danger of indiscriminately sucking in even allies…”
Huh?
Come to think of it, why weren’t we sucked into that…?
～～～～～～
Sinri: Since Master Mika wasn’t doing it, I put up a Barrier instead.
～～～～～～
Ah, I see.
Thanks, Sinri.
Seriously, you’re a really useful AI.
“Well, that’s how it is, Luciel. Think carefully about when to use it.”
“Y-yes… um, Mika God-dono.”
“What is it?”
Luciel said, trembling.
“I understand now that my Divine Rank has become 3.0. Mika God-dono… you had such dangerous power.”
“Well, yeah.”
“That pressure… it must have been very painful for you.”
Eh, pressure?
Painful…?
“Because of the power you unconsciously used, you easily snuffed out the buds of life… That pressure must have been immense.”
…………I-is that so?
“You always endure such pressure…”
“…………”
“…………”
Mid-sentence, Luciel looked at my face and sighed softly.
“…You didn’t feel any pressure at all?”
“Eh, yeah. Not even a little bit.”
“…………”
Luciel made a dumbfounded face.
“It’s okay, Luciel. Mika’s spirit transcends even the Gods.”
～～～～～～
Sinri: After all, she’s the Super Supreme God (lol).
～～～～～～
Huh? A fight?
Huh?
Wait… what…?
Oberon hasn’t said a word since a while ago…
“…………” chiiin
“Huh, he’s fainted. Why?”
～～～～～～
Sinri: It seems he fainted after being shown a dangerous battle of Gods.
～～～～～～
Fainting from just this much, how weak.
