Chapter 57
I’m going to complain .
Meanwhile, Kamiya Yato was confronting Akuya, a man hiding in a dark alley was observing people passing by .
“No good, that one too is no good... hmm, not sure...”
The hatred god, Germa, was looking at people and muttering to himself as if he was evaluating them .
When he eventually got tired, he leaned on a wall and let out a deep sigh .
“I can’t find any good place to rest in . Maybe it’s because the humans of this world are originally not inclined to hatred . My wound will take longer to recover at this rate . ”
Contemplating the situation, Germa folded his arms and placed his hand on his chin .
Germa’s power as a hatred god is to make use the hatred of anything alive and change it to his own strength . He can supply his powers by possessing the other party .
“The standard level of civilization in this world is too high . I can’t recover in such a place . ”
Germa said with a displeased mood .
Of course, he can still supply his hatred without possessing anyone . After all, every living creature harbors the emotion of hate .
It is something common between all the existing worlds .
However, because of this world’s developed culture, the amount of hatred in it is considerably low comparing it with the other worlds .
Knowing that well, Germa blamed his bad luck for being there .
“I shouldn’t have teleported arbitrarily...”
His face was not visible because of the mask he was wearing, but it was still clear that he was making a bitter expression . Germa casted his sight downwards .
He already thought about collecting all the hatred emotion in the city, but the severe wound he received in his last battle didn’t allow that .
If I attack, angles will surely find me .
I can’t win against them in my current state .
I need to think of another method .
Finally deciding on what to do, Germa raised his head, seeming to be hesitating .
“Let’s try possessing someone . ”
Even if it doesn’t result in a sufficient amount of hatred, Possessing someone was still going to considerably raise his powers .
Having a short amount of hatred will make recovery slower, but it is still better than doing nothing .
“I won’t let you that!”
A voice came up from nowhere .
Startled by the sudden voice, Germa looked around searching for its origin to find out that it was an angel behind him .
“I finally found you, hatred god . Though you’re not a god anymore . ”
Lina said at the same time she landed down .
Realising that the voice came from the angel, Germa felt slightly relieved .
“It’s just an angel . I felt a cold chill for a moment thinking it could be that women aiming at me . ”
Germa said while looking down at Lina .
But Lina didn’t react to his words and continued .
“Following Metron-sama’s order, I shall arrest you and even crush you if you don’t surrender . ”
Lina declared to Germa .
Of course, Germa replied with a sneer to her advice and talked .
“I’m being underestimated here . Even if I’m bearing a severe wound, there’s no way I’d be weaker than a single angel . ”
What Germa said was correct .
A god is an existence standing on the summit of the world and manage them .
Their average level is 300 with 250 as a minimum . Someone with such a level is overwhelmingly strong and Germa is no exception as well .
On the other and, Lina’s level barely crosses 100 with her transformation . Even if he was wounded, he still stronger than her .
No matter how you think about it, There was no way she could normally defeat him .
But despite that, Lina came to face him .
Apparently, Germa was still not aware of that meaning and kept grinning .
“If you believe that’s the case, then try defeating me . ”
Saying that, Lina let out an ashen haze out of her hands .
The ashen haze fell from her hands crawled on the ground then floated around her .
Noticing that, Germa remained confident and said .
“Hm, 【void magic】huh . Do you really think you can defeat me with that skill alone?”
Generally, the void magic of an angel can’t manifest all it’s power with just one angel using it .
Its true power is displayed only when it’s used by a few dozens of angels at the same time .
But that applies only on 【void magic】and not 【void magic max】 .
“Then try defending this . ”
Lina manipulated all the haze surrounding her and released it at Germa .
As composed as ever, Germa didn’t try dodging her attack, until he got wrapped inside it .
“!!??W-What is this!?”
Immediately noticing that something was odd, Germa started observing the ashen haze surrounding his body .
The haze was eating away his suit and mask .
Realizing that his being slowly annihilated, Germa groaned and fell on his knees . The mast was still hiding his face, but he was definitely confused .
“Too bad . My void magic isn’t the same as the others . ”
Lina replied as she looked down at Germa, fallen on his knees .
She had made quite the effort to become an angel who serves a god .
Because of that, her level among the other angels is on the top .
She even upgraded her void magic skill to the maximum possible .
She couldn’t display all her powers when she was fighting against Yato, but despite that, she was still a strong angel .
It’s only natural for her skills to be on a different level .
“Although, that wouldn’t be enough to defeat a former god . ”
The ashen haze was indeed eating up his body .
But that was still not enough .
Their levels are way too different, after all .
No matter how strong her maximized void magic could be, she can’t defeat a former god by just tormenting him that way .
“I will give you a second chance . Submit!”
Lina game Germa the chance to submit a second time, but Germa looked at her face and spoke in agony .
“All I did was change the world following my nature . I don’t see any reason for you to arrest me . ”
Hearing his reply, Lina didn’t change her expression, almost as if she was grasping the entire situation .
“In that case, I’m going to kill you . ”
Lina fluttered her wings, causing white feathers to fall from the sky . It would have been better if she could arrest him, but that was a dangerous option, as he was still a former god .
It was very possible that he could untie his restraints and escape .
The only option left for her is to finish him immediately .
That was Lina’s plan .
There was no telling when he will sneak away from her void magic .
This was her best opportunity to attack .
“Farewell, Germa . 【White feather judgement】 . ”
Lina finished her words with a scream . Gemra sensed the danger of the situation and stood ready...... a few seconds later, nothing happened .
“W-What!!? What’s going on!?”
Lina was confused because her skill wasn’t activated . Normally, her skill should’ve been activated to annihilate Germa by now . But she forgot one thing .
“Aah!! Noo!!?”
That skill was already erased by Yato .
Remembering that fact, Lina let out a hysteric scream .
She never thought that something like that could lead her to fall in such a serious situation .
Noticing that Lina didn’t attack him yet, Germa used that opportunity and reached out his hand .
“I don’t understand what happened, but this is a good chance . ”
“Ah!!?”
The moment Lina became aware of Germa’s move, her field of vision turned completely dark .
Bewildered by the sudden change of events, she couldn’t move .
“I let down my guard this time, but that won’t happen anymore . Once I heal my wounds, I shall come back for revenge, don’t forget that, dear angel . ”
“W-Wait!!”
Surrounded by darkness, Lina tried to stop Germa by shouting, but get any reply back .
She eventually got back her clear vision, though at that time it was already late .
“He escaped...”
Lina uttered to herself as she gazed at the place Germa was standing .
She couldn’t sense his presence at all . He must have teleported somewhere .
I never thought I could make such a serious mistake .
Lina blamed her recklessness and at the same time...
“Tomorrow I’m going to complain at him . ”
She developed a feeling of wrath towards Yato .
She knew that it was her fault for having her skill erased by him, but she still intended to complain .
Deciding on what to do, Lina moved to think about her next battle .
Next time I need to bring him down .
Fired up for her next fight, Lina walked alone in the dark alley .
