Chapter 195 – Episode 128- The Goddesses Begin an Invasion

*All characters appearing are adults.
*This is a fictional story that is nothing but fiction. Never follow

[This time, make sure. You shouldn’t be fooled like the vanguard.]

The heavenly world mustered all the troops it could mobilize.
It was intended to leave only the minimum number of troops to protect the mainland, and all the rest to descend to the ground.

This time, don’t send it randomly.
Because this operation can determine the fate of the heavenly realm.
Therefore, the celestial world set a target for where to attack.

The attack target is as follows.

Demon castle
Sacred Sites for Each Representative Race
Flush

The reason for this decision was that Carpo sensed the magi.

[I can feel evil demons from the point I took. There must be the children of the Demon King and their leaders.]

Fifth, Carpo’s ability to detect demonic energy.
You can find all the demonic energy emitted by the demons.
It’s not just about finding it.
You can find out who is a soldier, a common citizen, or a demon king.
It was all thanks to Carpo’s ability that he was able to raid Leviathan in the past.

This time as well, Carpo was able to find out the children of the demon king Leviathan.
The heads of the representative races were also able to find out where they were.
Thanks to this, the heavenly world was able to set the target of attack with certainty.

[Our purpose is to aggravate the Pandemonium’s power.]

Dicke, who served as the commander-in-chief of the attack, explained the purpose of the operation.

The ultimate goal is to deteriorate the demon realm’s power.
To do this, remove the children of the demon king Leviathan.
Eliminate the heads of each representative race.
Eliminate as many demon troops as possible.

[Four people, including me, deal with the demon king’s children.]

The chiefs of the representative races could be entrusted to lower goddesses.
Because these guys are at a level below Demon Lord Leviathan.
I’m sure the lower level goddesses will have more than enough to deal with.

But the devil’s children tell a different story.
They have power equal to, or even surpass, that of their father, Leviathan.
Perhaps the reason the advance party was wiped out was because they engaged in a battle with one of the demon king’s children.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the advance party was captured.

So, the first ten goddesses, the royal family, deal with the devil’s children.
The goddesses who will do this are:

Third Dike, sixth Vesta, eighth Iris, ninth Harpy.
The following four people deal with the demon king’s children.
The four goddesses who lent weapons to Miriel and the others when they assassinated Leviathan in the past.
Those goddesses are planning to come down to earth and punish the children of the demon king.

[And retrieves our sister, Minerva.]

And during the operation, the third Minerva is recovered.
Upon learning that Minerva was contaminated, the goddesses had to hurry to find her.
Because I immediately realized what the effects of pollution were.
I couldn’t tell what would happen if I left it like this.

So you have to find it.
Before the demons do more tricks.

[I’ll go! Please let me follow too!]

Atro, the youngest member, insisted on taking part in recapturing Minerva.
Artro was a younger brother who followed Minerva well.
Minerva also loved Atro very much.
The two sisters had a special relationship, asking each other about their well-being by letter once a week.

As such, Artro was shocked to hear that Minerva had been taken prisoner.
It was the same when he found out that Minerva was finally contaminated.

[I am a goddess too! I have enough strength to fight! I’m going to get Minerva back and get out right away! So please leave it to me!]

Surely she must go herself.
You have to go and see it with your own two eyes.
You have to figure out the survival of your best sister.
Artro made an earnest request to Dike.

[Okay. I’ll leave Minerva up to you. However, if she succeeds in being rescued, she will definitely return to the heavenly realm, okay?]

Dicke had no intention of rejecting this earnest request.
It was uneasy to entrust it to lower goddesses, so I was worried about who to entrust it to, but Dike was greatly relieved when Artro announced that he would be leaving it.

[If all objectives have been achieved, the purification process begins.]

Once all objectives have been achieved, the purification process begins immediately.
Exterminate all life on earth.
It is made into a world of nothingness so that no one who threatens the goddess will ever appear again.
If this is achieved, this operation will succeed.

[May Freya’s protection be with you. Let’s all return safely to paradise.]

Victory and defeat are obvious.
No matter how strong the demons are, in the end they are nothing more than mere creatures.
No matter how little creatures struggle, it is impossible to overcome the gods.

But carelessness is forbidden.
Both Minerva and the advance party had already suffered.
So don’t be careless.
You must fight with the determination to face evil spirits.

[Now the holy war begins!]

After all preparations, the goddesses descended to the ground.

And,

“Give me Minerva right now!”

Atro raided the studio and reached the room where Minerva was locked up.

●●●

“Hey, Minerva. Is that woman someone you know?”

Diana, who was confronting Atro, asked.
She has deployed hundreds of large ice picks around herself.
If you give her command, she can fly right at Atro.

“I am the youngest child born with me.”

Minerva trembled in response.
She never really imagined that she would be reunited with her brother in this way.

“The youngest? Then that woman…”
“One of the ten goddesses I mentioned.”
“Shit.”

It was expected that the goddesses would invade.
I was also preparing for this.

But I never thought she would be attacked so suddenly.
Even Diana did not expect that the final boss would come here in person.

‘No matter what, I have to fight first.’

I know very well that I can’t compete.
Even if he became able to use magic more proficiently after becoming a demon, his opponent was a god.
It is so strong that it is incomparable to the opponents it has dealt with so far.
Diana has no hope of winning even if she puts her all into it.

But what can I do?
Even if her opponent is stronger than herself, she does not intend to die quietly.
Diana swung her wand.
At the same time as she swung, hundreds of ice picks rushed toward Atro.
A deafening roar echoed through her room.

It doesn’t end there.
Diana continued to attack.
Numerous ice picks are created and launched in the empty air.
Fire continuously until the enemy is completely crushed.
Diana did not stop even when the room was filled with chills and her body trembled.

‘I can’t give him a chance to think!’

Right or wrong, it doesn’t matter.
The important thing is to prevent him from approaching.
Until the movement magic is complete.
You can get out of here only by completing it.
Then you win

“Uh?”

Diana didn’t notice because she was so complacent.

“…”

The fact that Art has already arrived right in front of him.

“Oh, no!”

Diana straightened her wand and used defensive magic.

“Cheuk?”

And she just slammed into the wall.
Her shield wielded by her goddess, Diana’s magic was ripped apart like her sheet of paper.
Diana collapsed on her floor, her body limp.
Her staff was broken and her entire body was covered in blood from shrapnel.

“Cool, cool, cool!”

A dark red blood clot spewed out of her mouth.
Neither her hands nor her legs move.
My stomach hurts so much because my intestines are damaged.
Blood got into her eyes and all she could see was red.
Her consciousness fades away.
Diana tries to get her body up somehow, but she just struggles on her bottom.

‘Oh, no… Sleep like this, if you fall asleep…’

Eventually, Diana lost her mind.

“…”

Right before she lost consciousness, she saw the two goddesses escape, but there was nothing Diana could do.

●●●

“Sister, I am sorry. Were we too late?”

Atro supported Minerva as she ran down the hallway.
There was a bloody smell all over the hallway.
The corpses of demon soldiers slaughtered by Atro were scattered all over the place.

It’s a really disgusting situation, but Artro couldn’t afford to care about that.
The most important thing right now was the comfort of her sister Minerva.

And when she learned that Minerva had been badly treated by her demons, tears welled up in her eyes.

“Are you okay. If she goes back to the heavenly realm, she will be able to get it back to normal.”

Minerva was transformed into her Demon.
Her pure white hair turned dirty black.
Her breasts have also grown unsightly, and her figure has changed so much.
She has changed so much that it is difficult to think of her as the older sister she used to be.

Something that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
However, as her powers and soul were corrupted, she allowed it.
Because she allowed it, Minerva became an insignificant creature.

“Her mother will surely be able to bring her sister back to normal. She is asleep now, but when she wakes up, she will definitely help.”

There is still hope.
There are still many sisters who miss Minerva’s older sister.
So, even if she became like this, she would not reject her older sister, Minerva.
Artro believed that as long as she got out of this workshop, everything would go smoothly.

“… Artro, are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“This studio… Made of materials that suppress our powers. Even you wouldn’t be able to use your power properly…”
“Ahahaha, actually I’m having a hard time too.”

Atro said with an awkward smile.

“Actually, I can’t even breathe properly. There are all these vile places. I didn’t know it would be difficult to use magic.”
“…”
“It’s okay though. There is nothing wrong with killing demons.”

She answered confidently, but Atro’s face was drenched in sweat.

The ends of her sky-blue pigtails were also dyed a little crimson.

“Get out sooner than that. If she knows that her sister is okay, she can purify right away.”
“Affection… Fury? Did you just say purification?”
“Yes, the operation is going smoothly now. When I finish that, I will go into purification.”

Purification.
Words that should never be heard.
Upon hearing this, Minerva’s face turned pale.
Whether you know it or not, Artro explained it triumphantly.

“Right now, the sisters are slaughtering the demons. Dike and Vesta’s sister. Iris and Harpy are fighting the devil’s children. After killing all the children, we will be able to purify in earnest.”

There was no malice in Atro’s words.

“With this, all enemies who threaten us will disappear.”

I just say it like it’s natural.

“There will be no more noise here. We’ll sort everything out.”

It’s only natural that there should be exceptions, but I don’t consider them at all.
They don’t care about anything but themselves.
Those who believed in Minerva would have been greatly shocked by the appearance of Artro like this.
The other goddesses must have thought that she was as merciful as Minerva.

“Oh, no…”
“Huh?”
“There is no purification. That kind of thing, that kind of thing, that kind of thing…”

Until now, I’ve been trying to stop the purge from happening.
No matter how much she appeals to her, in the end the purification won’t stop.
Because once a decision has been made in the heavenly realm, it has never been overturned.

Maybe this is good?
If not stopped, all of her own children will die.
Come on, come on, we have to find a way.

“Ugh?”

Feeling a sudden pain in her stomach, Minerva sat down.

“Uh, sister? Why are you like that?”
“A boat, a boat…”
“Ship? Ah… It’s because of that foreign substance.”

Arturo’s eyes grew cold.
She was looking at her full-term belly, not her lovely sister.
Artro took out his sword without hesitation.

“I’ll finish it right away.”
“Now, wait. You, what are you going to do?”
“Do not worry. It only kills foreign substances in the stomach.”
“Oh, no! Do not do that!”

Realizing what Atro was up to, Minerva wrapped her arms around her own stomach.
At that action, Atro tilted her head.

“Why are you like that, sister? Am I just trying to get rid of that foreign object?”
“It’s not like a foreign object! It’s alive too! They are sisters who inherited our blood!”

I don’t know why you say this.
On the subject of crying that she did not want to give birth to the Demon King’s child.
Even if the chance to get rid of her son came, she would oppose it.
Minerva couldn’t tell if this was due to the corruption of her soul, or if she meant it.

“… Looks like the demons brainwashed her sister.”

Despite Minerva’s appeal, Atro did not lower her sword.

“I’m sorry, sister. This is all for her sister. Be patient even if it hurts.”
“Oh, no!”

The moment Atro was about to strike the sword,

-Kwagwagagagagang!

The wall shattered as if it had exploded.
Atro frowned at the thick dust that had been carved from it as it crumbled.

“Ugh, what is this…”

Atro turned his head to the hole in the wall.
She saw a large shadow loom over her.
Atro immediately raised the shield mounted on her left arm.

– Quaang!

The sound of iron colliding with iron.
The aftermath shook the entire workshop.
Artro was pushed all the way to the wall on the other side by the tremendous force.

My arm is numb.
There was no demon who pushed himself like this.
Who the hell attacked you?
When the dust cleared, Artro was able to figure out the identity of the large shadow.

It was a hammer
A large red hammer appeared.
The hammer was struggling to push Atro away with his shield.

And the owner of the hammer,

“I wondered what happened because all the soldiers were dead, but you were the culprit.”

It was Lilia, a red-haired hero in a black uniform.
