Chapter 69
The oppressor will be dismembered and devoured by all the souls he wronged and harmed.
KE's educational message to Seira before she used it was: "This law reflects the power of cosmic justice, providing wronged souls a chance for revenge and restoration, emphasizing the importance of justice and balance in the cosmos."
This ability must be used wisely and responsibly, as it harbors immense power that could affect the fabric of reality itself.
Spirits began appearing everywhere; these were the people who had been killed by Doma.
Upon seeing the people he had consumed over the centuries, he felt a chill run down his spine as if every hair on his body stood on end.
Seira did nothing but trap him with the spirits and imprison him within a different dimension.
After it was over, she closed her eyes and began to feel the energy of faith she had received from the residents of the hidden blacksmith village, remembering what KE told her and how to use it.
Without any hesitation, she entered a state of complete calm, and her consciousness was separated to avoid distraction, after noticing that only Kanae and Regis were around her outside the underworld realm.
"Kanae-sama, what is Nee-san doing? Why isn't she moving?" Regis was a bit scared that something bad had happened to Seira, but Kanae noticed something wrong happening within her and felt her mood beginning to change and even her life level rising.
"Regis-san, let's protect her. She is undergoing a breakthrough, and it seems her current state is extremely dangerous." She secured the area well and made sure there was no danger while Regis started attacking anything that tried to approach.
The reason for Seira's breakthrough, despite having already done so, was because the breakthrough was a cosmic law and understanding of it.
Initially, KE was surprised by the presence of faith energy in Death Scythe, but it was because Evangeline, Seira's predecessor, was known to the ancient humans as the goddess of death.
It was recognized that Seira was the next goddess of death, but she needed a tremendous amount of faith energy to strengthen her understanding of cosmic laws before she could begin her transformation into a deity.
As she was breaking through, Emilia was kicking Hantengu after killing all his clones.
She didn't want to use her real power because the fewer people who knew about her power, the stronger she would remain.
"You bastard, tell me now what you are doing here," she began to torture him using all the torture techniques created by Union's intelligence to find demons' weaknesses, all bound by solar energy.
"Ahhhhhh it's hot, it's so hot, please have mercy, it's too hot," Hantengu felt his skin burning continuously. He wanted to escape and return, but because Emilia had imprisoned him and he couldn't move, he felt the space around him close and even the gravity became much higher as the ground beneath him cracked about a meter deep.
"Hmpf, since you won't answer, I'll take you to that boy." KE sneezed when he felt someone calling his name in an inappropriate manner.
When Emilia wanted to pull him, she heard the sound of a broken branch, "Come out quickly, or…"
"Stop, stop, I came here peacefully," Mitsuri stood up quickly, raising her hands in fear of Emilia.
Seeing all her torture methods, Mitsuri was terrified to the extent that her face turned pale.
She didn't know that Emilia did this only because of the demons' terrifying healing speed; otherwise, she wouldn't deal with torture methods but simply extract his mind and read his memories using some of Union's secret techniques.
When Emilia looked at Mitsuri and her clothing and saw she was carrying a Katana, she knew exactly who she was, "You're from the Demon Slayer Squad, what are you doing here? Why don't you go and save the residents of the hidden blacksmith village?"
Mitsuri felt a bit of pressure but endured it and looked at Emilia, "We have indeed saved many of them, and they should all be rescued by now."
Emilia bit her fingernail, checking whether she was lying or telling the truth.
Mitsuri knew she didn't believe her, so she showed her all the messages she had received from all the teams that came quickly to rescue.
After taking the messages and reading them, Emilia nodded, feeling that the Demon Slayer Squad wasn't just fools fighting only, "Well, since there's no problem with you, you will come with me to take this wretched fool."
Mitsuri felt that refusing would be full of consequences, so she nodded quickly, making Emilia smile at her, "Good, I'm glad to meet you. I'm Emilia Claire Harcourt, my friends call me Emilia; you can call me the same."
Mitsuri blushed because this was the first time someone wanted to befriend her; she felt strange in her heart but also happy. Her expression brightened as she said, "I'm pleased to meet you, Emilia-sama."
Mitsuri bowed to her respectfully. Emilia was a bit annoyed because she didn't want anyone to speak to her with such respect and add "Sama" at the end. "Well, I don't care anymore. Come on, help me."
Mitsuri swallowed as she and Emilia carried Hantengu and ran towards Seira. As for how Emilia knew about it, it was because of the fool Doma who used a lot of demonic aura and created an explosion equivalent to a nuclear bomb.
Due to this explosion, anyone capable of sensing Etheora could detect their presence.
Now, at this moment, the supernatural world was filled with chaos. Many organizations didn't know what was happening in Nippon, even their spies sent there had lost their lives.
And all this was because of Kyomi, Sebastian, and the rest, as KE had spread them across Nippon.
This was his plan because he knew there would definitely be a group of arrogant fools who intended to stand against him.
Thousands of strangers had already been killed after being found by the intelligence forces of the Shinomori clan.
All organizations and countries were silent because they didn't know what had happened inside Nippon, but soon, they would feel absolute fear and despair.
While spies were being killed one after another, Seira was already gathering all the faith energy in the hidden blacksmith village and started creating her divinity as KE had told her.
Every step she took was filled with precision and mystery. When she asked KE why she couldn't directly create her divinity, he told her this method was best to avoid any mistakes.
Knowing that a single mistake could make her lose the chance to attain her divinity due to a lack of faith energy, she realized this moment was the most crucial turning point in her life.
As KE told her, she wouldn't transform into a deity due to a lack of sufficient faith energy, but she was to create the essence of her divinity. In the future, as she gathered more faith energy, she could convert it into divine energy, taking at least the first step towards divinity.
Divinity was simple and straightforward, but obtaining faith energy was very difficult; one point of divinity was equivalent to a hundred points of faith energy.
Seira needed 100,000 points of faith energy to attain her divinity, and this was just the beginning.
After that, she needed to gather about 1,000,000 points of divinity to be able to obtain a divine body.
And even after obtaining a divine body, she couldn't be a true complete deity, of course. It was impossible for KE not to help his only disciple.
He already had a plan for her, a plan that would make her a true deity, but it required time, and the last thing KE was concerned about was time.
"This girl, she is evolving," Kanae felt Seira's Etheora increasing, and even her body began to become stronger, but what made Kanae's heartbeat accelerate was that Seira's mood became as cold as if she was no longer human.
This state was only seen in KE when he delivered a powerful strike to the heavens, looking at them with a face full of coldness, even his eyes; she couldn't look into them because she felt fear and inferiority.
With every passing moment, Kanae grew more terrified by Seira's transformation. As for Regis, who didn't understand what was happening, he was fortunate not to feel the spiritual pressure coming from her.
That's why Kanae sent him away under the pretense of protecting the area, pure nonsense on her part, just to protect him.
After a while, Seira stopped changing and opened her eyes. What Kanae saw was only the piercing ice coming from her beautiful features, but deep in Seira's eyes was joy.
All this because creating the essence of her divinity, which rose to 1%, was enough for earth-shaking changes in her body and soul.
If one could see Seira's soul, they would see a hint of the majestic golden divine color in it, even her skin became whiter, but not a pale white, rather like moonlight, pleasing to the eyes and refreshing to the heart.
When Seira felt someone's presence beside her, even as she was tens of meters above the ground, she turned her face to see Kanae standing there, with an aura similar and close to hers.
