Chapter 288 The Great Heart of Bonds that Pierces God (1/2)

A torrent of stars repeatedly glittering…… The light circulated around Alice, just like meteor showers shooting around her, manifesting with an enormous amount of magic power that makes the atmosphere shake.

That magic isn’t something that exists in this world, a magic that once existed in the world Alice was born and raised in…… “A magic that turns the strength of the heart into a weapon”…… That is her trump card.

Alice, clad in numerous lights, moved in front of Kaito in an instant and held her blade towards the Earth God.

[Alice……]

It’s not that she was conscious of anything, but the atmosphere around her is clearly different…… Seeing Alice expose her emotions for the first time and seeing her unusual state, Kaito reflexively called out her name.

However, his voice didn’t reach Alice as she was right now…… That’s because her mind was filled with only one thought: That is to protect and defend Kaito.

[……Still…… not enough……]

While looking at Alice, who was raging like a storm with her enormous magic power, the Earth God didn’t show any particular movement, but just quietly stared at Alice.

She had the posture of someone waiting for the other, the posture of someone who holds absolute power. A response supported by a definite self-confidence that she would be able to deal with whatever attack Alice makes.

That is a fact, and Alice herself was aware of that.

Even after Alice uses all her power, the Earth God in front of her is still far superior…… But then, for her…… No, even back then, this wasn’t anything unusual for her to do but……

[Return…… Return…… to the me of those times…… to the time when I was “weak”……]

[Alice……?]

Muttering to herself, Alice lowered her body and prepared her stance.

[The enemies I had fought against were far more powerful to me…… Even so! I want to return…… to the time when “I protected everyone until the end”!!!]

[ ! ? ]

At that moment, Alice unleashed it. Her “true self” that she has sealed away…… Just like a dead person, her self that had only been something of the far, distant past……

Immediately afterwards, Alice’s magic power, which had been gushing out like a storm, quieted down like an ocean without a single wave, enveloping herself in silence.

Alice doesn’t look intimidating anymore…… And seeing this, for the first time, the Earth God “prepared for battle”.

As she spread out her wings to intercept her opponent, the Earth God’s body was blown away across the white space.

[Speed, Assumption, Exceed…… Threat, Recognize, Intercept!]

Still muttering that with her matter-of-fact tone, after stopping in mid-air in movements that defy the law of physics, the Earth God spreads her twenty wings wide.

Thereupon, light dwells on the tips of her wings and a dazzling flash of light is released towards Alice, who is approaching at super speed. Seeing this blast of light, Alice brandished the knives in both of her hands to the incoming flash, and deflected it without slowing down at all.

[Movement, Insufficient, Attack, Increase.]

Seeing Alice’s movements, the Earth God judged that 20 attacks weren’t enough, so she immediately calculated Alice’s speed and released a number of light bullets that was 10 times more than before.

It doesn’t look as simple as a mere attack, as it looks like a rain of destruction, crashing down at the speed of light.

Seeing this, Alice immediately changed her course and evaded them, as if she were slipping between the rain of light. However, even as she tries to evade them, the rain of light still incessantly falls.

The Earth God suspends herself in mid-air, and just like a turret, she continues releasing light bullets.

The size of these light bullets is small, but they’re still the attacks of a God who’s the pinnacle of her world…… Each shot is filled with such power that it can “wipe out an entire island”, and if even one of them hits her, it would instantly decide the outcome of this battle.

She was constantly releasing those light bullets, making it impossible to escape…… However, even so, not a single bullet reached Alice at all.

As if she could see the path she needed to take, Alice changed her course, but not slowing down at all, she slipped through the rain of light, drawing near the Earth God with knives held in her hand.

[……Admire.]

Seeing Alice’s attack, even while her hand was slashed, the Earth God seemed to be sincerely impressed.

Then, when she was about to fire light bullets at Alice again, Alice seemed to have read that and immediately distanced herself from the Earth God.

Without following Alice as she moved away, the Earth God lightly clapped her hands.

[You, Battle, Art.]

As she continued to release a vast number of light bullets, continuing her battle with Alice, the emotion that boiled up in the Earth God’s heart…… were unsparing praise.

This might be something that had been said already, but the Earth God was far superior in terms of basic abilities. Hence, the rain of light just now would have defeated Alice if she had been hit by even one bullet.

However, Alice was able to handle all of them and dealt a blow to the Earth God. Her combat abilities were even impressive for the Earth God.

How vast could the number of battles the girl in front of her gone through be? How many deaths have she overturned for her to exist until now?

If the angle at which the light bullets she deflected had been off by even a few millimeters, the bullet would have hit her. If she had made even one mistake in handling the thousands and thousands of light bullets, all of her efforts would have been for naught. If her mind had wandered for even a few tenths of a second, she would be swallowed up by the rain of light.
