Chapter 104 - Calm Before The Storm (1/2)
Celestial Plane, Chad's Palace.
Kurohana could not help but have a serious expression on her face once she realized the whole scheme of things. The reason why Nix chose this mission, why she was the one who was going to do it, all of it now made sense to her.
Slightly chuckling, she muttered to herself, ”If the Demons will come back to try and capture the Celestial Plane again, then I won't hesitate killing them all again!” As she said this, a faint killing intent started to suffuse out of her currently masculine body, which she hastily concealed not long after.
To many of the Greater Gods, one would not remember the incident that almost killed off all of the Lesser Gods millions of years ago, the Lesser Divine War. The only Greater Gods that do remember it are those who have witnessed the war, fought against the Demons and found ways to push the Demons back. Amongst them, Nix and Kurohana were those who fought against them. The current Lesser Gods did not even know of such a war happening, since most of them became Lesser Gods around five hundred thousand years ago.
”Hinari and Hodazuka are the two gods that cast the seal on you, right?” Kurohana looked at the shocked Chad and asked.
”From the signs you gave me, it could only be the two of them,” Chad muttered in reply as he could not still believe it. ”To think that those two kind gods…corrupted by a Primordial Sin…”
”Haaa…” Hearing these words come out of Chad's mouth, Kurohana could not help but sigh. ”Let me remove the seals on you first before we do anything else later. Let us ease your pain for a bit,” Kurohana said as she asked Chad to lie down on the ground, to which Chad had no qualms.
Looking down at Chad's body that lied flat on the ground, Kurohana started to mutter a few incantations as she raised both hands towards the sky, absorbing the mana in the surroundings as a magic circle the size of half of Chad's island appeared tens of meters above Kurohana's palms.
The magic circle she was conjuring was an unsealing spell crafted by the Lesser Gods back then to combat against the Demonic Seals casted by the Demons. As for its name and level of magic…
”7th Divine Circle. Infiniaris Monstratus Eradicae.”
”Unshackled Nihility.”
Whoosh!
After finishing the spell, multiple motes of black light started to form around the boundaries of the magic circle before coalescing into a spear that seemed to destroy the skies and the earth with one blow.
Sensing the power that the spear emanated, Chad could not help but break out into a cold sweat as he looked at Kurohana, asking, ”Is this…safe?”
”Definitely safe,” Kurohana looked at Chad and smiled. ”This is just an incorporeal spear, aimed to destroy the Demonic Seals inside your body through the help of a small part of the Transcendent Canon of Nihility.”
”The Transcendent Canons…” Chad could not help but gulp his saliva after hearing the utterance of this phrase. To him, Transcendent Canons were the laws that truly governed the universe, even stronger than the Immortal Verdicts!
”Since you say so, Kurohana, then I have truly no qualms at this point.” Chad decided to accept what Kurohana was going to do. If it hurt, then he would bear with it, to remove a long-lasting pain for a short bout of extreme pain, it's definitely worth it!
Whoosh!
Manipulating the spear of nihility towards Chad's nether regions, where the Demonic Seals were, the particles that made up the spear started to separate inside his body, locating the Demonic Seals in an instant and concentrating towards them once they found out where it lied.
Rrrrrr…
Not long after aiming the spear towards Chad's nether regions, the soft sound of waves rumbling could be heard coming from Chad's body as his complexion that was previously pale, gradually regained its original luster while his body that was previously tense, gradually relaxed as well.
Through the use of her consciousness, Kurohana could see that the Seals were being broken down at a greater speed thanks to the power of her laws. Around a minute later, the Seals were finally destroyed by the particles of nihility, with the particles dissipating not long after as well.
”The Seals are now gone,” Kurohana said to Chad. After Chad heard this, he stood up and felt that his body was better than before, he felt like he could do anything at this moment.
Feeling up his body from head to toe, Chad could not help but mutter out of disbelief, ”What the…my problem is gone…it's gone!”
Chad could not help but look at Kurohana with awe as he said, ”You're truly a life saver! Thank you for solving my problem, Kurohana!”
”Not a problem at all,” Kurohana waved her hands as she lightly smiled. ”Anyways, could you tell me more about Hinari and Hodazuka? All I know is that Hinari is the Lesser Goddess of the Moon, and Hodazuka is the Lesser God of the Sun. I might find out more about the reasons why the Demons chose them as their first gods to possess.”
Although Chad was not a Lesser God that fought against the Demons, he still knew how cruel the Demons were from reading multiple excerpts of the Demons from the Divine Library. Chad knew that telling Kurohana about the two of them would definitely push the Demons back to whence they came, allowing the Celestial Plane to live in peace.
”Alright, I'll tell you all I know,” Chad replied with a solemn expression on his face as he nodded. ”In fact, Hinari and Hodazuka came from the same planet, Earth, which is extremely small. To think that a small planet like this would birth two Lesser Gods is nothing short of a miracle. Let us start with Hinari…”
…
Hours later, Chad was finally finished explaining the backstories of both Hinari and Hodazuka, which somewhat expanded Kurohana's horizons a bit.
”And that's all I know about them,” Chad said as the end of his explanation.
