Watching at the two dumbfounded Primal Gods, they felt like that woman’s bloodish eyes were piercing through their souls.
Mystel’s eyes wandered left and right, observing the situation around her as she used her magic to explore Shina’s memory to understand what was happening and forced her down here. However she knew one thing for sure, the only reason which would activate the necklace was Shina having a mortal wound.
As she finished to explore Shina’s memories, she completely understood what the situation was and looked toward Veralox with anger, yet didn’t felt like punishing him.
The reason was because of the spear in his hands, unlike Shina she knew that having using his own Ether Weapon means that he was forced to do so.
Although Veralox is said to be a Primal God on the same level as Lumenia and Darky, the truth is actually different.
The world they are currently living is the first one made by Mystel and Arsal, its conception is completely different from the ones who followed. While they made every other world autonomous, this world’s existence is supported by a single being; Veralox.
Veralox could be said to be the pillar which supported this world, his Ether Weapon, Karales was sealed and put aside in order to constantly fuel the world with mana, making it able to bear life.
By sealing his Ether Weapon, he also had to seal a part of his soul which divided his power by manyfold, but even so he was still the strongest among Primal Gods. Being forced to use his Ether Weapon showed to Mystel that he did his best to protect Shina, even if she wished to, she couldn’t punish someone her daughter liked without a valid reason.
Thinking that she would lecture him later, Mystel looked toward the two responsible for Shina’s wound. Looking at them she couldn’t help but show a smile, to anyone it looked like a warm smile which would make you relax, the moment this smile formed on her face, Veralox’s body started to shiver and his face became pale.
He recalled a certain memory that had become a trauma, only one time did he see this smile before; and deep inside him he couldn’t help but feel pity for both Lumenia and Darky even though they are his enemies.
The moment Mystel smiled, Lumenia and Darky who were until now rigid like two statues felt that the oppressive feeling coming from Mystel had disappeared as if it was nothing but a daydream.
Darky: “Y-you, who ar-” He asked as he was seriously staring at Mystel.
Mystel: “Who gave you the right to talk to me, trash.” She said still smiling.
Hearing this made Darky grind his teeth with anger. He who is one of the three most important people in the world was being called a trash by a mere woman made him want to crush her alive with his own hands.
But he knew that he couldn’t he reckless as Veralox was still nearby with his spear, he knew that just showing a single opening would lead to his death.
Lumenia on the other hand remained calm and carefully waited to see what was going on, she knew that given Darky’s short temper the situation would quickly evolve.
Mystel: “You can withdraw Carales already, I’ll take care of this.” She in an ordering tone.
Veralox: “As you wish.” He said as he bowed his head, withdrawing his spear.
Seeing this, Darky couldn’t help but feel that the woman in front of him was stupid and think it was the right timing to charge.
“HAAAAAAAH” Darky charged at Mystel with his gigantic war axe. Seeing this from afar, it was literally a giant charging at an ant.
However, Lumenia didn’t follow him in his charge, she knew that Darky wasn’t truly ingenious, that he is more the type of person to attack then think after. It was also the reason why she was unwilling to acquire his help.
The appearance of the charging purple giant made Mystel frown as Darky contracted his muscular arms to launch a powerful swing.
Mystel: “How rude…” She said as she sighed.
The moment right after, a huge sound resonated and the aftershock of Darky’s attack blew away the earth within 50 meters around Mystel, but…
Darky: “H-How?!” He left out, surprised.
Both Darky and Lumenia were dumbfounded as they saw Mystel, grasping the gigantic war axe which was two times bigger than her only with two fingers.
Even while using his muscular body enhanced with his magic, Darky was unable to make his war axe budge while Mystel only held it with her two fingers.
Darky: “You!! Release my axe !” He yelled as his face became red because of the strength he was using.
Mystel: “Too high…” She said as she looked at Darky’s eyes.
Darky: “What?!” He asked unsure of what she was talking about.
Mystel: “It’s high… the eye-level…”
“Kneel”
It felt as if the world had suddenly frozen, a single word made not only Darky but also Veralox and Lumenia instantly kneel as if I mountain had dropped on their back.
They felt like their bodies refused to move as if it wasn’t theirs anymore. It wasn’t even them, it was like the world himself was bowing before that woman.
The oppressive feeling that they felt before suddenly came back as they looked at Mystel. Although they couldn’t feel any mana coming from her, they felt oppressed as if they were before a superior being.
Mystel: “In the end… you are a failure.” She said as she trampled Darky’s head on the ground.
Mystel: “Veralox, what should I do with those trashes?~” She asked with a childish smile, the one of a little girl who obtained two new toys.
Veralox: “Milady already plans to send them to Albata even with my opinion.”
Mystel: “So you knew? Not even funny…” She answered as she fainted a saddened expression.
Veralox: “The last person went there just for calling you an undeveloped wom-”
Mystel: “I suggest that you stop here if you don’t want to go there yourself.” She stopped him with her killing intent.
Darky: “W-Whaot are you tralking about?...” He managed to grumble with his face eating the dirt.
Hearing this, Mystel couldn’t help but show a proud expression as she made a cut through space itself, opening a hole in the world leading to another dimension next to her.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
Mystel: “Kukuku~ How is it? My playground.” She asked like a child who presented one of her creation.
What they saw inside the space rift made their face turn ugly, even Veralox who was mentally stronger than them couldn’t help but turn pale and look away.
Inside there were mutilated some people were chased by horrifying monsters, some were tortured by some complex device far more terrifying than what their most terrifying dream.
Yet, the most terrifying thing was that no one screamed, everyone inside stayed silent as they were tortured or eaten alive as if they were resigned and their spirit was broken.
From what they could sense, among them were even people even only weaker than Veralox, yet even them were empty like some broken dolls.
Each time someone was killed inside this dimension, he came back once again alive. No one could truly die, dying meant being resurrected. Compared to this even Hell seemed to be the paradise.
Mystel: “You don’t have to worry, I’ll reserve a VIP place for you.” She said as she approached her childish face from Darky’s one.
Darky: “W-WAIT!! Please let me go, I’ll give you this world if you wish so, please !” He begged for his life. Technically, he made a contract with Lumenia so that she’ll give him her lands in exchange for his help as long as he didn’t mistreat them.
“Huhuhu…”
Mystel: “Puhahahahaha!! You want to give me something that already belong to me? Know your shame!” She said as she used her magic to lift his body, moving him toward the rift.
Darky: “STOP!! I AM SORRY SO PLEASE LET ME GO! FORGIVE ME!” He pitifully said.
Even though Darky was normally the type of people to never regret his acts, what he saw inside the rift had truly terrified him to the point that he didn’t care anymore what he had to do. He knew that once inside there would be no way out.
Mystel: “You want forgiveness?” She asked as her expression wasn’t visible to him.
Darky: “Yes...Please” He pitifully answered.
Mystel: “You want redemption?”
Hearing this, Darky felt that the woman was going to forgive him for whatever crime he had done to her.
Darky: “I wish for redemption!” He answered with a shred of hope while Lumenia’s face turned even uglier than before and even Veralox who was until now smiling watching Darky’s reaction became scared.
Mystel: “How dare you!! Forever writhe in the consciousness of your sin!!” She screamed as crimson tears fell from her eyes before violently kicking him in the space rift.
This expression showed how much hatred she felt for him who dared to gravely injure her only child.
Mystel: “I’ll take my time with you...later” She coldly mumbled before closing the space rift and turning toward Lumenia.
Unlike Darky who was using his muscle before his head, Lumenia quickly with everything she saw until now to deduce a few things.
First from Veralox reaction toward that woman, she understood from the respect he showed that she was a being superior to him, who was himself far stronger than her or Darky. Adding to that the way she immobilised them as if it was the world itself which obeyed her orders and that she called Darky a failure, she quickly came to the conclusion that she was related to the creation of the world itself.
But even so she had a hard time to believe this. Until now she was one of the most powerful being in the world and suddenly a strange woman came and they were even weaker than babies in front of her.
And the most important thing was the woman appearance, she was truly similar to the girl who was killed just a few moments ago. Taking also in count the fact that Veralox seemed to listen to any of the girl’s order, it made sense that the girl was related to her and that she showed up for revenge.
Realising all this gave her a single conclusion she didn’t want to accept, her situation was hopeless.
Not only did she participate in the fight against Veralox, but she also gave Darky the needed to pierce Veralox’s barrier and kill her. Moreover, she also tried to kill her a week early in a surge of rage.
The sound of steps made her regain her mind, it was Mystel who was slowly walking toward her with eyes filled with hatred and malice.
Each of her steps made her sound beat grow faster and louder, she wanted to escape from this place, but her body was still under the effect of Mystel’s word.
When Mystel arrived in front of her, Lumenia was desperately trying to move, but neither her body nor magic was willing to obey her.
Mystel grabbed Lumenia’s head and watched her in the eyes for a moment as if pondering about something while still looking at her with hatred.
In truth, it only lasted a dozen of seconds, yet for Lumenia it felt like hours passed, the most terrifying hours of her life as she was stared at by Mystel’s bloody eyes.
A hand suddenly pierced Lumenia's torso and grasped her heart before pulling out a golden orb. It was Lumenia’s own soul.
Lumenia’s soul was in Mystel’s hand who felt the urge to crush it as it is, but she somehow managed to control herself and began to envelop it with her mana.
Lumenia: “W-What are you doing?” The ball asked as she felt an intense pain hitting her.
Mystel didn’t say a single word as she tried to control her feeling and continued to envelop the soul with her mana, she was tampering Lumenia’s soul.
A few crackles appeared on the golden orb who rapidly lost its golden radiance and turned light blue, Mystel then returned the orb in Lumenia’s body.
The moment her soul returned, Lumenia quickly understood what she had done, Mystel had tampered with her soul and destroyed her godly essence, the proof that she wasn’t a mortal.
Lumenia only retained a little part of her power which made her only slightly stronger than a normal high god, but she was still weaker than the current Shina whose power increased after her rampage, or even Eniel after she absorbed Inkvir and Veralox’s life force.
Mystel: “I truly wish I could swallow your body with one gulp… But you are of some use for my daughter so I’ll spare your life.” She said before walking toward Veralox.
Veralox: “Milady.” He kneeled before her.
Mystel: “I leave the rest to you.” She said before a black lightning came out of her body who slowly transformed back into Shina’s uninjured one.
Veralox: “Yes milady.”
