156 Myriad of lost souls (1/2)

Detra became pale and started to shake uncontrollably, ”You... You are a descendent of Hana??”

Mia noticed that the woman was having a hard time keeping her cool. She probably wasn't expecting to find out about this information when she woke up today.

”Indeed... From your face, I'm going to guess you didn't know about that...” she said while holding her chin with an emotionless expression and tilting her head.

”N- No... I did not... North tried very hard to keep any information regarding you a mystery from the other gods...” Detra responded while sweating.

”Makes sense I guess... A god having a champion be a descendent from the first user of cursed energy would probably raise an eyebrow...”

Detra tried to recompose herself and regain focus on her objective, despite still trying to process the fact that Hana was still around and could even be reached. Not only that, but the fact that North knew all that and never told her.

”But... You said you are going to face her next?? What exactly do you mean??”

”I meant just that... Grandma is probably the only one who can stop me by this point... And since North won't let me just throw my fights, I'll need as much power as I can get before going up against her... Thus... The demons...”

Detra covered her face to hide her despair. She assumed that she was aware of what the worst would be, but apparently things could become even more serious. But she then realized that there might still be one last glimmer of hope.

”But do you even know where Hana is?? How could you-”

”North told me.”

”Oh, goddamn it!!” Detra complained as she shook her fist wanting to strangle the god inside of Mia.

”You seem upset...” Mia noticed.

”Gee... What gave it away??” Detra admitted, ”I just found out that my worst nightmare was merely a child's play compared to what would actually be a true disaster!! How do you think I feel??” Detra explained while glaring at Mia, completely disregarding that the woman could vaporize her with a flick.

”I see... must be nice...” Mia mumbled while observing Detra panicking.

Detra in return stared at her as well and realized that she was speaking in a rather odd tone compared to what her usual speech would sound like.

”You're not going to make some silly joke or try to belittle the situation?”

”I don't feel like laughing anymore... I was really placing all of my bets on Evlin... If I somehow end up defeating Hana as well... Then I'll have nothing left...”

Detra observed as the spirits and the possessed mages started to gather around Mia. The winged woman had a whole army prepared, all for the sake of having a batter fighting chance against Hana.

Detra didn't know if Mia could honestly defeat Hana, but she was certain that a battle between the two would definitely result in a lot of damage to the world. She needed to think of a way to make Mia change her mind.

But just as she was trying to think of a solution, a group of individuals showed up out of nowhere among the crowd of possessed people and started to scream to the heavens.

”MIIIIIIAAAA!!!!”

Both she and Detra turned around to see who it was and they noticed two mages dressed in white, each carrying a kind on their shoulders, a woman with black long hair with a silver sword in hand, and a young lad with silver hair whose hands were taking the shape of blades.

”What is it now...?” Mia sighed as she stared at Lilith, Marcus, and the fire mages, all of them glaring at her for sending her spirits to take over their friends and allies.

Lilith stepped forward and aimed her sword at the red-robed woman, ”Remove your spirits from Daren and the rest you demon!”

”No can do...” Mia replied with a monotone voice while shrugging, ”I need as many friends as I can get if I want to go play with grandma...”

”... Wha...?” Lilith whispered, admitting that this was not the kind of answer she was expecting.

Marcus then stepped forward as well and gave a proper look at Mia, noticing that the woman in red robes had Evlin's face.

”Hey, darling...” Mia said while waving at him. She wanted to know if teasing him would still be fun, but was sadly disappointed.

”What did you do...?? WHAT DID YOU DO???” the lad said as he filled his body with anger and charged at Mia in a desperate move.

Mia simply raised her arms while pointing at him and whispered her answer, ”The same thing I always do...”

A huge arm made of red diamonds appeared from the ground and blocked the young man's attack. Marcus tried to break the arm with his blades but the diamonds were being energized by terminal energy which was making them indestructible.

Mia then charged at Marcus herself with absurd speed and grabbed his blades with her hands covered in red diamonds.

”I won...” she said while completely shattering his metal into pieces.

”Aaaaahhhhh!!!” Marcus screamed as he felt what were basically his hands being crushed.

Mia then created a giant red golem in the shape of her old ponytailed form and squashed Marcus completely with her palm.

”Guaahhh!!”

Mia looked at Marcus as the lad twitched inside of a small crater beneath her created from the impact.
