“Eris, Junice sister. Am I a little late?”

An ice monster suddenly emerged from the underground.
A monster resembling a turtle A woman in jet-black armor waved her hand over her head.
A helmet in the form of a cone hat.
Unlike the other two sisters, she doesn’t even cover her face.
The armor is also in the form of a skirt, not pants.
In one hand she held a long-handled mace.

The woman with bobbed pink hair kept saying sorry with her mouth, but her blue eyes were smiling happily.

“Sorry, it took me a while to get to the basement.”

Arietta, the third sister of Demon King Eris.
She was the last of the three to arrive on the battlefield.

Naturally, the reaction was very bad.

“It’s all coming to an end, but I’m going to eat it all at once. That’s really great.”

Eris praised in a completely disrespectful tone,

“Did you come late on purpose? Are you going to monopolize all the public works?”

Junice looked at his brother with suspicion.

“Hehe, sorry. I was late looking for the armor…”

Arrieta laughed and made excuses.
It was not the expression of a person who apologized for coming late.

“Hey, Arrieta sister. Did you put her sister in her shed like this one?”

When Eris said that it took her time to find her armor, she asked just in case.

“Huh.”
“…”

Eris lost her words at Arietta’s answer without her hesitation.

“I’m more comfortable in a uniform. Even if the armor amplified my strength, I didn’t want to wear that heavy thing every day. It’s okay even if you don’t have it anyway…”
“…”
“Ah, but don’t worry, I’m still taking care of it. Because Sylvia’s mother is doing well.”
“…”

What the hell do these older sisters think of armor?
No, am I the only one who packs armor?
Isn’t she crazy for protesting against treating her precious armor as an old antique?
I ordered you to bring it just in case, did you order it for nothing?
Eris was momentarily skeptical.

“Rather than that, why did you come underground? Leave the dimension door intact.”
“To ambush.”
“Surprise attack?”

When Junice asked her why she came through the underground, Arrieta replied that she was no big deal.

“Anyway, the sky is crowded when Junice unnie comes out. Then it’s hard to surprise. So she chose the underground.”
“You built that big tortoise for that, and you rode that tortoise underground from Floche to here?”
“Huh. It was really fun. It was really fun to travel underground where nothing can be seen.”
“…”

That’s why you chose the underground.
In conclusion, it was not a wrong choice, but Junice was absurd.
The same goes for Eris, who was listening next to her.
Could it be that there are remnants of the madness that dominated Arrieta?
Junice had a sudden thought.

“Anyway, this is over, right?”

Arrieta asked as she stroked her tortoise’s head.
The turtle hummed happily with its mouth, as if it liked being petted by its owner.

“That’s right, it’s over. But, what about the goddess she swallowed earlier?”
“All that remains is for her to become a statue of her alive.”

Arrieta confidently answered Junice’s question.

“This child was made for that purpose.”

An ice monster aka ‘Turtle’ that behaves like it’s self-conscious.
Originally, even though Arrieta could create monsters, she couldn’t reach the stage where she could infuse her consciousness.
It was, but now it’s different.
Thanks to absorbing the power of the goddess Vesta, Arietta was able to rise to a level she hadn’t reached before.
So, the monster, which would have shown no reaction in the past, is now at a loss for joy.

“No matter how strong a goddess she is, she will be stuck in front of this child.”

Any enemies she swallows will be slowly frozen.
The cold that rages inside the monster’s stomach will freeze not only its limbs, but also its internal organs and nerve cells.
She will live as an ice statue for the rest of her life unless Arietta is willing to free her.
Of course, goddesses are no exception.

“So wait a minute. This kid spit out a statue of her… Hmm?”

No, exceptions do exist.

“Uh, huh? Turtle why? Why are you shaking?”

-Ooh oh oh oh!

The tortoise suddenly started to riot.
Arrieta almost fell off her head.
The moment I tried to ask what this was, Arrieta looked at it.

– Blaze, Blaze, Blaze

Cracks are going on in the solid ice body.
Water is dripping little by little as the cracks go.
It is returning from ice to water.
Arrieta was greatly taken aback by the sight of the turtle she created collapsing.

“Sister, come down immediately, hurry!”

Eris, who thought it was unusual for her, shouted urgently, and Arietta immediately jumped off.
At the moment of her jump, the turtle melted completely.
She turned into a huge mass of water.

And the goddess Thetis came out of the water.

“… Could that guy even control ice?”

Eris put on a slightly puzzled expression.
That Thetis uses water, she learned during the fight, but she didn’t know that she even had the ability to turn ice into water.

“…”

Thetis said nothing and raised her spear high into the sky.
A mass of water that was a turtle gathered at the tip of her spear.
The collected water turned into a large crescent-shaped blade.
Thetis slashed the great blade at her three demon lord sisters.

“Stand back, both of you!”

It was Junice who came out first.
Junice, who was in the vanguard, immediately threw out his right fist.
The high-powered lightning fist collides with the water blade and creates a large wave.

-Kwagagagagagang!

A loud bang rang out.
Due to the impact of water and lightning colliding, the surrounding area was shrouded in thick fog.
Putting down the knuckles that radiated heat with ease, Junice took care of his younger siblings.

“Eris, Arietta. You guys are fine…”

Just at that moment, a shadow fell over Junice.
Junice punched his fist without hesitation.
Someone’s hand caught Junice’s fist.

“Ugh, he’s a really careless guy.”

The true identity of the shadow was Thetis.
Thetis groaned in pain.
The hand that blocked Junice’s fist was shattered.
All four of his fingers, except for his thumb, were gone.
Only torn blood vessels and bones are visible.
It hurts a lot, but Thetis endured it by coming.

Because I can’t lose the chance to become a genius.
A strong light began to emanate from the palm of Thetis’ fist.

“Ugh, what is this?”

The light was so intense that Junice couldn’t open his eyes.
He tried to release his fist immediately, but Thetis wouldn’t let go.
The emitted light hit Junice and began absorbing it.

The power of the goddesses Junis had robbed was quickly fading.

‘Hey, the power…’

Get out
The power extorted from the desired goddesses is disappearing.
Junice felt dizzy from so much being drained away.
I tried to hold on, but my legs were shaking so badly that they were about to break.
The moment Junice was about to collapse after losing the strength she had worked so hard to obtain,

“What are you doing to my sister!”

A thump and a thump rang out.
At the same time, Thetis’ arm, which was holding Junice’s fist, fell off.
Between the goddess and her commander was a mace wielded by Arrieta.
Blood and flesh smeared all over her mace head.

“Ugh!”

Eris then swung her sword horizontally aiming at Thetis.
Thetis quickly backed away and barely escaped the attack.

“Sister, are you okay?”

Without looking away from Thetis, Eris inquired about her condition.
Junice, gasping for breath, sat down.
He was holding his head with one hand, as if his headache was severe.

“Ugh, hee, all my strength is gone.”
“Probably because he uses purification.”
“Purification?”
“It is the ability to restore the fallen goddesses to their original state. Lilia suffered from that too.”
“Ooh, reverting it back to normal? To think he had such an absurd power…”

That’s how she ended up being haunted by the guy who was consistently pushing her.
Junice couldn’t bear to lift his head.
I never thought that the power of the goddesses would be taken away in this way.
It’s fortunate that there is still one left.

“But, why am I like that?”

Eris glared at Thetis and tilted her head.

“Why are you in so much pain?”

Thetis’ condition is strange.

“Ha, ha, ha…”

Her lost arm and wounds have all been restored and there is no problem.
But for some reason, she is breathing heavily as if she is having a hard time being blocked by something in her.

And somehow, a third of her hair was dyed purple.
As if corrupted.

Knowing this was going to happen, Thetis used Purification on Junice.

‘It’s not all, but I did succeed.’

It was a gamble.
I try to purify it by taking advantage of the gap that blocked the guy’s view with the fog.
He was in a situation where he did not know if he would lose, but in the end he succeeded.
Although she couldn’t free one, at least her remaining sisters would have been free.

If possible, I would like to save the other sisters imprisoned by these filthy demons, but

‘Sorry, I’ll save you next time.’

It was too disadvantageous.
Rescuing dozens of sisters at once made the pollution worse.
It’s a situation where you can’t get the upper hand in their fight, but if you continue to fight in this state, you will be defeated.

And the purpose in the first place is to buy time.
The goal is not to defeat these guys.
By now, the sisters on the roster should have all escaped.

So there is no reason to stay here any longer.

Thetis’ body began to be covered with water.

“Where are you going to run away!”

Eris jumped right in and cut Thetis’ head, but

“Chit!”

All I could hear was the sound of cutting water.
As the water died away, Thetis disappeared as well.

“Damn, missed it…”

It was a golden opportunity to capture the Creator alive.
Enraged, Eris roughly kicked her on the ground.

‘It’s as if they were completely made fun of.’

I succeeded in overpowering him.
But she got nothing.
There is only a lot of things lost.
It’s practically the same as being defeated.

She should have caught the bastard somehow.
Eris, who was grinding her teeth, suddenly heard a loud noise.

-Go oh oh oh

“What is this, Sorin?”

The sound of something large falling is heard.
Not just on the battlefield, but across the roster.
No, it is ringing throughout the earthly world.
Eris, Junis, and Arrieta hurriedly raised their heads and saw a large dark cloud.

A lump of land that looked like a dark cloud was visible.

“… Sister, aren’t my eyes weird?”
“It is not strange. I can see you too.”

Arrieta and Junice also looked up with shocked expressions.
It was the same with Eris.

A land mass, a large continent, is falling to the ground.
Slowly above the sky.
The mace prepared by the goddesses to purify the polluted ground finally appeared.

There are 10 days left until the heavenly world collides with the ground.
