Chapter 289 "The Power of Bonds, The Gods Expectations" (1/2)
With the Earth God’s high opinion of Alice’s abilities, the battle is becoming even more intense.
The light bullets that the Earth God releases from her wings are much faster than before, and they are constantly being released with even more power, but its attacks still couldn’t reach Alice.
Looking at Alice, who dodged her attacks with body movements that could even be said as artistic, the Earth God proceeded to analyze her.
Even though she wasn’t extremely fast, Alice continued to evade her attacks. In the eyes of the Earth God, Alice appeared to be one of the most powerful beings in this world.
Normally, when they hold this much overwhelming power, their ways of battling would be cruder…… However, it can be said that Alice’s battle techniques, “the weapons of the weak” had been polished to the maximum.
The basis of Alice’s strength is……her overly keen ability to perceive and respond to a crisis.
The speed at which she perceives the looming danger, the attacks that would harm her, is frighteningly quick, and she is able to accurately use the huge number of cards she had in hand and make use of it to deal with her opponent.
It was a power that must have been acquired from vast combat experience, and the Earth God assumed that the girl in front of her was accustomed to fighting a far superior opponent.
However, if that were the case, some doubts still remain…… As mentioned before, in the eyes of the Earth God, Alice is supposed to be the most powerful being in this world…… Then, how could she get used to fighting so many opponents that are far more powerful than her?
She has overwhelming experience in dealing with attacks she has never seen before, from angles that she should have never seen before and knows how to fight opponents that are far more capable than she is.

That should mean that Alice isn’t born strong just like the Earth God…… It was also proof that she was “a weak person who became strong”.
That’s why the Earth God had overflowing admiration for her from within her heart.
For her to refine her blade to the point where she could fight her, the Earth God wondered how many times she had bared her fangs in the face of death……
However, Earth God couldn’t just be impressed by her on this occasion. She still hasn’t achieved her main goal yet.
Investigating Kaito…… With the information she read just from what she could see on the surface, she could only recognize him as just an ordinary person, but the Earth God doesn’t think that’s all he is either.
Then, she thought that it may be what was on the inside, and she was about to assess that, but that hindrance had to butt in, making her pull quite a distance away from Kaito.
[Early, Conclusion.]
Alice’s fighting style is interesting, as she was able to fight her “without easing up” a single bit……. but she can’t waste any more time.
The Earth God doesn’t have any problems even if this fight is prolonged. The girl in front of her will also be able to handle such a prolonged fight without any problem…… However, there was some anxiety in the Earth God’s heart.
She will be fine, so will the girl in front of her. However, what about that human? Humans, unlike beings such as the two of them, can’t generate inexhaustible amounts of energy. If this fight goes on for days, months or years, that human will die…… No, even if the human doesn’t die from getting caught up by their attacks, if that human suffers from hunger…… Wouldn’t that mean that the human is harmed?

If that’s the case, at that moment, the half-body of that God will intervene. If that happens, the situation would turn for the worst. She wouldn’t be able to determine the true value of that human.
While thinking about this, the Earth God…… Finally launched an all-out attack with “only her power”.
The newly created light bullets, each of which is several meters in diameter…… with over hundreds of millions of these light bullets released at a speed comparable to that of light.
The rush of light that filled the space instantly engulfed Alice’s body and caused a really huge explosion.
[Conclusion……!?]
[……F- Fufufu…… Hahaha……]
The Earth God thought that this was already settled, but on the end of Earth God’s gaze, she found the “unharmed” Alice, laughing from within the smoke of the explosion.
[Since “I’ve lost everyone”, I’ve always, always been incomplete, as if I’m using incompatible parts in place of my insufficiency.]
[……Magic Power, Radical, Ascend?]
[There’s an enemy in front of me that I need to defeat, and behind me is my important person that I want to protect…… Ahhh, this is it…… This is the real me…… Finally, I’m finally “catching up to my old self”……]

[This is—— At this moment—— The farthest my heart had reached—— Exceed my limits—— And now, weave the world! ——Ἑκατόγχειρες!!!]
With a powerful shout, the numerous lights that surround Alice are all absorbed into her body.
The pressure released by Alice increases and along with that, her magic power increases.
Although Alice is supposed to be the only one in front of the Earth God, Alice’s presence feels overwhelming, as if a vast number of warriors are forming an army, and a smile appears on Alice’s lips.
[Iris, Noel…… Everyone, lend me your strength. I won’t let anyone steal Kaito-san, I don’t want to be parted with Kaito-san……. and I will not be defeated by anyone! Come…… Let’s begin! Let’s kill a God for the second time!]
[Ability, Ascend…… Threat.]
Within the infinite space, flashes of light repeatedly exploded.
The Earth God stopped holding back and unleashed a variety of attacks on Alice…… but she is still alive and well.
