章 1048: Chapter 1048 Counterattack part 3
Three days later, Riveria was distributing an improved version of the Mind Potion to everyone, "It seems that all of you've already got the gist of it."
Meanwhile, the people she was teaching were all sprawled on the ground and are almost utterly depleted of Magic Power, "...T-these are fascinating spells that follow a completely unknown system. Where did you learn this?"
Despite the sorry state she was in, Tenestra was excitedly taking in the new knowledge that was presented to her.
"Riveria-sama, I have several questions. Is that fine?" Lefiya asked with hidden vigor behind her eyes. Ever since Tenestra arrived in Orario, she had considered her greatest rival. Thankfully, the latter also felt the same after proving that Lefiya too, could get away from the normal conception of Magic.
"That's fine, but rest for now. I'll answer all of your questions once you guys are well-rested." Riveria said before leaving them alone. She then went walking towards Yoruichi and Serafall's tent intending to discuss their next steps when she saw Kali entering the tent where Kisuke was.
Since yesterday, Kisuke had been 'interviewing' the Gods one on one for some reason, and even when asked, Kisuke and Gods will not discuss it.
Riveria thought that he has been doing something to them so that they'll be able to bring down their Divine Avatars, 'But it could also be him trying to find out if there's a traitor in our midst.'
She wondered if that's really the case, then it would be extremely hard to defend against a stab in the back, 'In that case, I would have to take his stance of trusting no one.'
Riveria reached the tent but before she could enter it, an explosion smashed against Hestia's barrier and when she looked up, she saw three Deities with black veins traveling through their entire bodies looking down on the camp.
These past three days, Hestia was also doing her best to expand her 'home' and as of now, they had at least a kilometer in a radius of space. Naturally, that didn't stop their enemies from trying to poke at her barrier even though it had done nothing no matter what they did, 'They're still not tired of doing that?'
"I've received word that we're moving out soon." Yoruichi suddenly came out of the tent with a big smile on her face.
But contrary to that smile, Riveria could feel that there was a sublime killing intent emanating from her, "You're striking back?"
"There's no harm in reducing their numbers before the real thing, after all~!" Yoruichi didn't elaborate further and just disappeared from her spot.

The Goddesses known as Dalia and Kianda have been coming back to Hestia's barrier to attack it repeatedly these past three days. They said that they wanted to stop its expansion but in truth, they knew they couldn't do anything against it and were just bored so they kept returning to harass those who were inside.
Another reason was that they don't want to deal with what's happening in their ranks full of suspicion and as Deities on the weaker side, they don't want to get in trouble and fight the other Deities which is very prevalent right now with some trying to establish dominance over others because there isn't a clear hierarchy among them.
"Even this is getting boring." The green-haired Goddess Dalia muttered, "They really won't come out, huh?"
"Coming out means death. Why would they? The only question is how long will that cowardly shut in keep this up? It's about time she gets tired, right?", replied the brown-haired Goddess, Kianda.
Dalia was about to throw another ball of fire at the barrier when she stopped and turned to her side, "If I'm not wrong, you're called Yoruichi, right?"
Like a mirage, Yoruichi suddenly appeared in front of her, "That's amazing. You noticed me. And here I thought you two let your guard down since no one is retaliating."
Dalia is fully aware that she's weaker than Yoruichi, but as someone who governs fate, she was able to see what she's going to do next and prepare an appropriate response, "I'm the one amazed. I didn't notice you until you were this close."
"Fufufu," Yoruichi chuckled, "But you're wrong. I already took a step back."
Dalia was confused by her words but she didn't have the time to think about them when she heard her fellow Goddess behind her letting out a gurgling sound, "...D-Dalia..."
Dalia hurriedly looked back and fear immediately gripped her heart as she saw blood bubbling out of Kianda's mouth and a thick red line on her neck, "...S-sav-" Before she could finish her words, however, she instantly turned into black dust, never to be seen in this world again.
Dalia finally realized the reality she was in and thought, 'Run! I have to escape!'
Unfortunately for her, she felt something going through her chest before she could move and when she looked down, she saw a bloodied arm, holding a beating organ. It was her heart ripped out of her body, "What did I just say about letting your guard down?"
"P-please for-" Nevertheless, Yoruichi didn't need to hear her pleas, and her head was full of fear and some tears flew off before she could finish her words. Like the first one, she soon turned into a cloud of black dust and disappeared forever.
"How merciless." Loki came floating up beside Yoruichi.
"Eh? I don't think so? More than me, aren't they the ones having this too easy? What's wrong with them?" Yoruichi asked while cleaning the dust off her arm.
Loki shrugged her shoulders and said, "They've been desensitized by prolonged peace. And with them thinking they're on the winning side, it's become much worse."
Although it looked easy, Yoruichi was only able to kill them instantly because there was no fear of retaliation from them. As if they are just playing some game that they couldn't lose, "...Looks like this will be a lot easier than we initially thought."

Goyya Editors:
28th00: Yeah, Loki is an assassin-build too, ain’t she? But most of the “Fodder” gods are absurdly weak because they’re cocky and arrogant lil shits. Eh, Shinigami are called Death “Gods” for a reason. Not very good reasons most of the time, but sometimes it’s pretty damn accurate.
Goyya: And even though they are a big group, they are never an army. There’s no army that could function with everyone as a General. Who among these guys is willing to become a foot soldier?
