Capítulo 62: Chapter 62: The Beast King
I flew to the beast kingdom, where Ausar was supposed to be located.
I walked to the gate as a catkin. No one bothered me, why would they? But I heard things.
"Did you hear that Silith apparently confirmed that the rumored dragon was a god?"
"No way, he did?"
"Yeah, and more than that, he said she was the mother of gods."
"There's no way, Lord Ausar will be able to clear this thing up."
"Did you hear that he actually took control of this kingdom?"
"Finally, I was waiting for him to decide to become king."
"So was the king."
It seems Ausar just wanted a throne. Vain... like he always was.
I entered the town and saw multiple beastkin celebrating. The few humans around were keeping their heads down.
"Hey, human. Did you steal that?"
The man had grabbed an apple off a stall and paid for it. Everyone knew it, but no one stood up for him. Well... almost no one.
"Hey, let him go. We all saw him pay."
The Catkin who started it glowered at me.
"A sympathizer? Please, he's revolting. He shouldn't even be allowed to roam the city. Thank goodness at least the temple is clear of them."
It seems this city had a similar issue to Silith's city.
"Yeah, I don't care, he paid, he followed the law, so lay off."
"Listen, kid. I'm a D rank adventurer. I can beat you up."
"It's a shame that fools like you represent the lower ranks."
I flashed my C rank, and he blanched.
"S-sorry. I was out of line."
"You were, now apologize and leave."
"Sorry man, I was wrong."
Then the catkin fled quickly.
"Goodness, it's almost as bad as Silith's city here."
"Ah, do you hale from there?"
"No, I'm from Selethon."
A wolfkin passed by.
"Selethon? Then did you meet the dragon who claims to be a god?"
"Yes, and she is very powerful."
The human nodded.
"I heard that Silith himself confirmed her as the mother of gods."
"Yeah, but you can't trust Silith."
The wolfkin acted like he was better than Silith.
"See, this is the problem with humans, they side with Silith, the enemy of Ausar and then shut out beastkin."
"Well, what do you think, C rank lady."
"I think both are twits. They discriminate against an entire species for the simple crime of some serving their opponent."
Everyone, including the humans, looked at me, jaws dropped.
"Lord Ausar isn't a twit."
"Then why does he dislike all humans."
"Because they side with Silith."
"I don't know. Selethon's humans are siding with this Kala."
"Yeah, and the pretender god Kala is sided with Silith."
"Who said that? Just because Silith confirmed she was a god? That doesn't mean she helps him, it just means that she's a god."
"He was obviously lying."
I snorted.
"Let me tell you this. No god likes mockery or pretenders. If this Kala were just a pretender, then Silith would have killed her, despite her allegiances."
Some people considered the words, but most spat at me.
"We should hang you for insulting the true king Ausar."
"Nah."
That caused them to pause.
"Did you just say nah?"
"Yep."
"No matter. Get over here."
I created a riot, then a presence.
"Calm my subjects."
Ausar stepped out of the mist in the form of a birdkin. He looked at me.
"It's been long since we last spoke."
"It has."
Ausar struck at me, and I blocked, causing a shockwave of power.
"Don't strike at me, fool."
"You insult me and expect me to ignore it?"
"What insult? I spoke truth. You and Silith's rivalry is childish and nothing short of brattish."
The people were shocked that I not only blocked an attack from a god, but also insulted him to his face.
"Well, Kala, I hope you don't anticipate living too much longer."
"Oh, I do, in fact, I came for a bit of help, but if you want to fight, I'm open to that too. Not here though, too many innocents."
The people were shocked. Not only did Ausar say that I was Kala, but his speech also confirmed what Silith said, that I was a god.
"Did you tell Silith that?"
"Would have if I remembered too."
"You are way too scatterbrained."
"Ah phewy. I knew I can get distracted, but still..."
"Yeah, I'm going to absorb you and take your power. Then I can finally surpass Silith and destroy him and his infernal church."
"And is that power from another world going to help you with that?"
He was silent for a moment.
"Silith told you? Little tattletale!"
The people were not expecting their god to use immature language like tattletale.
"I swear it's like in the 300000 years I was dormant, you idiots haven't matured in the slightest."
"The heck's that supposed to mean?!"
"You are at war but get mad when your opponent calls for help. I've told you idiots about how dangerous accessing other worlds was. And what do you do? No wonder Silith complained. It's dangerous."
"I don't care. I can do what I want."
The people were confused by the interaction. A random catkin was scolding their god who was acting like a spoiled child.
"Anyways, I'll kill you, then no one can hold me back. My people will rise to absolute sovereignty."
The people started cheering. He was basking in the praise.
"Your vanity is annoying."
He remembered that he was in the middle of a fight a bit too late as I socked him in the stomach, causing him to collapse in pain. I sat on his back so he couldn't get back up.
"No fair."
"All's fair in love and war, now stop being a twit."
"I hate you."
"How rude. Don't say something like that to your mother."
I slapped him causing a minor crater on the ground.
"I always told you that vanity would get you killed. Of course, I'm not going to kill you, but if you pull that in a battle, anyone with a half decent weapon would be able to defeat you."
He grumbled. The people were shocked. I had taken down their 'invincible' god.
"How?"
"He left himself wide open. That was way too easy. Do you remember anything I taught you, brat?"
I looked at a wolfkin.
"Pardon me, but which way to the palace?"
The wolfkin pointed nervously to where the palace was.
"Thanks."
I smiled, stood up, picked up Ausar, and threw him as hard as I could at his palace.
"I'm going to meet with the king of this nation. I heard he was a god. Hopefully he can get his act together before I get there."
"How did you beat him?"
The human was also shocked, so I was honest.
"Frankly, in a regular fight, I would have lost, but he left himself so open that no one couldn't beat him if they actually fought with the slightest bit of skill."
A B rank adventurer nearby reluctantly nodded.
"Yeah, now that I think about it, he was absolutely open."
"Yeah, which makes me more ticked off, because the first lesson I taught that brat was to never take your attention off your opponent."
The D rank from earlier asked,
"Who are you, actually?"
"My name is Kala, former Queen of gods, also known as S rank adventurer Rose Hood."
I curtsied.
"An S rank. I was wondering why a god was only C rank."
"A little thing to make sure I can wander privately... I'll need a new one."
"Yeah..."
