112: vs Delta

"Guaaah!"

"Arrrgh!!"

*Pant...pant…*

"Well sweetie, are you ready to throw the towel yet? You're not good enough."

Dang. I was sweating like a pig. Even under the effects of Force Boost Phase 2, I couldn't make her flinch. All my physical abilities were strengthen beyond measure, yet this woman blocked all my blows while sitting on a chair.

"Don't think you've won this. Try this on for size!"

I cancelled Force Boost. If physical attacks don't work then the only option I have is using magic. I raised my hands above my head.

"[Nuclear Blast]!"

The same move I used against Dante. A powerful sun like sphere with the force of 100 tons of TNT. Not to mention, the radiation level. There's no way she can survive this.

*KABOOM!*

At first it seemed like my attack swallowed her, but…

"No way!"

The attack dissolved into small light particles. Delta was sitting there casually surrounded by a barrier. That's not Fuka, neither the humans' holy barrier Aslau.

"You seem surprised. Let me say that this is the God barrier Eclipse. It's far superior to Fuka or Aslau. But I must admit, this is just for protection against the radiation. Your spell was on World Magic level, so you made me use the Hakai Mode Vertex Point technique to destroy it."

"What!? Don't screw with me! Only gods of destruction have access to the Hakai Mode techniques."

"Wrong. You also know a spell too after all. It's true that they are mostly taught among gods of destruction, but I picked up quite a number of them myself. Need I say more? Although it's disappointing, you can't win this."

She once again pointed her finger towards me. A large black sphere with a purple aura and vibrating at high speed appeared in front of her.

"Let me show you another spell of the Gods. [Grand Nebula Burst]!"

The sphere was sent fired towards. Lightning sparks were also generated, amplifying the speed. I couldn't dodge it. Shit! I could only make an X with my arms and take the impact.

"GuHaaa!!"

A large explosion was created. When the smoke cleared, I was missing my left arm and a good chunk of my upper body. My Cure All once again kicked in and started to regenerate me, but that doesn't mean it wasn't painful.

"Hou? I'm impressed. Overlapping 20 layers of Fuka in a second is not an easy feat, yet it saved your life."

"I… I…"

"Give up?"

"I learned it! Now you try dealing with this!"

I used multi layer magic. Because my body made direct contact with that spell and survived, I learned it. I combined the magic formation for Armageddon Spear, the strongest piercing spell I know, and the newly acquired Grand Nebula Burst.

I placed my hands together and electric sparks started to appear.

"[Final..."

Flash is what I wanted to say, but this wasn't the time for jokes.

"... Armageddon Nebula]!!"

A jet black beam with the tip as sharp as a spear was generated and was headed straight for Delta. For the first time, her face twitched.

The impact blew up a large portion of the floating rock. When I used my Ruin Eyes to check the damage… I couldn't believe it. She still didn't have a single scratch on her. But… a small smile floated on my face.

"Heh. Not sitting so comfortable now, are you?"

She was standing upright.

"Fufu. You hear, but you don't listen, child. Let's get this clear. You didn't move me. You just destroyed my throne. A small technicality, but I suppose you never were one that followed rules. I suppose you earned your reward and I am a Goddess that keeps her word."

"You mean…"

"Yeah. Listen carefully. I am going to tell you everything, my darling. Let's start with your origin. Kimito Yamanashi. The otherworlder that was reincarnated. That's you right? I understand your confusion when I call you my daughter. I'm not your mother per see, but I am that body's mother. It all started long ago…"

Delta started her story. Apparently when she was in the God realm she had many quarrels with the Gods. She also felt alone and that nobody supported her, so she tried to create an ideal mortal to support her.

In a similar fashion that Rosalie created Lumi-chan, she created this body. However her work was interrupted. Before she could make the body a demi-goddess or grant it a soul, the other gods labeled her as an evil goddess and tried to eradicate her. So she fled before she could complete her creation.

And when a new Goddess that barely finished training camp made a mistake and killed me… she thought that since nobody is using that body nor labeled it or something she could use it. Apparently the gods didn't bother disposing the body or seal it off anywhere because they believed no harm can come from an empty shell.

So Ariadne who had no clue about all this and found it lying around put me inside it and made me a  Mazoku. Delta said that if Ariadne wouldn't have put me in the north factions' summoning stream, ironically nothing would have happened.

"Okay… I understand why you keep calling me your daughter, but that doesn't explain all this chaos? Why did you make these creatures and cause this much destruction?"

"The Gods are to blame for that. If they were perfect, would they really have tried to destroy me or banish Zeshia? Think about it. Or better yet, I'll show you what happened."

Delta grabbed my head and in the next moment… everything went blacked. It's like. I'm going from one dream to another.
