Chapter 800 VS Freya part 3
While the battle was ongoing, Loki invited the 'guests' in to watch with them, "So that guy even managed to fool you all that you're dead?"
Ottar, the rest of the executives, Mia, and Anya walked in while still checking the 'wounds' they had suffered, "Was that... Just a bad dream?"
As for the members of the Loki Familia, they are glad that they are alive for one reason or another but they still can't wrap their heads around what just happened. They almost had a heart attack when the headless people started standing up before the scene returned to normal, "Loki, when did you notice?" asked Finn.
Loki sat down on the couch and pinned her eyes on the floating monitor, "I was shocked and angry too at first, of course. But that's what I thought he wanted so my thoughts immediately deviated when he sealed my movements and speech. Though 'till the end, I only had a suspicion because adding to the fact that I can't imagine him starting a useless massacre, the town itself was unnaturally quiet. Even if he was able to set up a barrier to isolate the noise, people should have started gathering around when they saw the top of Babel destroyed."
Riveria took a peek at the untouched Tower of Babel and said, "Now that you mentioned it... It was extremely strange, but I only noticed it when everything was already done."
"There are other little details that supported my suspicion but I won't mention those. And don't really have to be hard on yourself since Freya fell for it too, spectacularly at that."
"But shouldn't Freya-sama already know that no one's actually dead? We have her blessing, after all.", Mia interjected with confusion.
"Although what happened on the Tower of Babel was fake, that didn't mean that he really doesn't have the ability to erase someone's soul. In fact, I'm more inclined to believe that he could because that would explain how he was able to sever, or at least block your connection to Freya.", Loki explained briefly, 'Though what concerns me the most was that illusion ability. It's so well made that even Freya who released her Divinity couldn't tell it apart from reality. Even now, I'm still wondering when we fell for it.'
"Anyway, just watch. It isn't every day you all get to see how a God fights."

Freya hurriedly took back her hand and dodged the blade that was coming after her by jumping back. But even then, she wasn't able to get away as the sword emitted a crimson light and released a whistling arc.
"Tch!" Without much choice, Freya released more of her Divine Power and caught the arc with her bare hands, crushing it.
But before she noticed it, her body was already entangled with a blood-red net that extended from Kisuke's feet.
Freya hurriedly tried to break away but the net was too stretchy to cut, 'It wasn't meant to entangle me?', Freya thought to herself. Nevertheless, the bad feeling that was coming from the net didn't decrease instead, the threat only seemed to increase with its unknown use.
Unfortunately for Freya, the time that she used to ineffectively break away from the net was enough for Kisuke to gather his power. Stabbing the net at his feet, Kisuke poured a considerable amount of energy into Benihime, "Hiasobi, Benihime, Juzutsunagi."
Orbs of fire started sprouting on each corner of the net until it reached Freya.
Freya was horrified at what she's seeing and hastily gathered all the Divine Power she could to protect herself.
A second later, an explosion so loud and so bright it shook the entire lake. The explosion was so strong that those within the Twilight Manor saw a second sun. If not for the barrier that was protecting the region, no building would be left standing in Melen and some parts of Orario would have been destroyed from the shockwave.
"Freya-sama!!!", the members of the Freya Familia couldn't help but shout simultaneously with some of them leaving the Twilight Manor to see what's going on the lake with their own eyes. Since the devastation was covered by thick steam made from the nasty water of the lake, they couldn't see the result of the explosion. However, they are sure enough that Freya couldn't take that without being injured.
Kisuke, although he already knew Freya's situation without looking at her, waved his hand to produce a strong gust of wind that blew the steam away, revealing Freya's scorched and falling figure.
Ottar and the rest shuddered at this sight and were about to rush to the location like everybody else but Loki spoke out to stop them, "There's nothing you can do even if you go there. You'll just be wasting time."
"That doesn't matter. If Freya-sama were going to die, then I'll accompany her to the grave."
Loki peeked at Ottar who refused to back down and was followed by others, "That's incredibly foolish, but if I were Freya, I'd be happy to hear your sentiment, however, don't put a Deity at the same level as you, mortals." The moment she finished her sentence, the air within the entire room became so heavy that it actually became hard to breathe for some.
Ottar turned around and directly looked at Loki, "...So this is a Deity's pride."
Loki didn't say anything back and just returned her attention to the screen.
Ottar became silent for a few moments while looking at the ripple that Freya created when she disappeared on the lake before saying, "None will go. Let's wait here for our Goddess' victory."
At that moment, the sky lit up as Divine Aura covered the area before a golden chariot pulled by two giant gray tabby cats.
