Aliya was sure that that was Elihim plan since that is the fastest way to enter Godlyhood. Although one of the requirement was to kill a God which will be the hardest one since a God can only kill another God but you have to kill a God first before becoming a Slaying God.
There are only a few who became a God of Slayer since the dawn of time and they just got lucky that they killed a weakened God and they have to bring a whole legion for that. However, Rin already got that mark.
Who knew that that was not Elihim's plan?
"Even if he's talented, how can he go against a monster as strong as the, for example; the Blue Devil just after a few years of training if you're not planning to make him a Slaying God?", Aliya asked in a low voice, she didn't removed Rin from her sight as she was very curious how strong can Rin's First Stage of Focus.
A Blue Devil is a monster from the Underworld where it already formed an Energy Core.
"What are you saying about him being a Slaying God?", Elihim didn't know that Rin have a Mark of a Godslayer since he knew that Nathan only died because of a contract and not Rin directly.
"He only need to kill a Dragonking, a Demon Sage, an Angel, and an Ancient Beast to complete the five marks and ascend to becoming a Slaying God…", Aliya then turned to Elihim with a strange look, "or did you not know?"
Elihim eyes widened when Aliya threw a simple punch that made the air whoosh at him, when her fist made contact with Elihim's body, Elihim have no form of defense or whatsoever that a simple punch from Aliya sent him flying. The air was pushed that it made a breeze coming from that punch.
About twenty meters away, Elihim was barely standing with blood coming from his mouth while sweating profusely as he covered his stomach where it was punched. His body then glowed a faint golden light and his sweating decreased after a moment.
"You don't even have the strength of a God.", Aliya tilted her head, "Where's your real body at?"
Elihim coughed before standing straight and said, "That's very rude of you. You punched me and then asked me a question? That's a lady shouldn't do, war-freak.", he lightly shook his head while smiling.
Aliya ignored Elihim' mockery and repeated her question, "Where's your real body at?"
"Don't know anything about privacy, dear? I'm actually a pretty busy person.", Eihim evaded the question again.
Aliya tightened her grip on the spear, threatening Elihim, "Where's your real body at?"
Elihim looked at Rin who was about to finish his meditation and gave up, "Gatespace."
"Gatespace? You mean…"
"Yeah, Miss God of War, Gatespace. You're late on the news. The monsters from the Underworld was already trying to invade this world since a week after Nathan died.", Elihim showed an expression of botheredness. Seeing how Aliya was unsatisfied with his answer, he continued, "It was really tiresome when they showed up in the Gatespace. When they tried to enter this world, I easily fended them off but overtime, their numbers are increasing so I sent a clone", Elihim pointed himself, "and tried to search for the one who caused this troubles for for days. I tell you, it was very hard searching the whole world, using this body. Finally, when I sensed another Contactee, I found Rin who was Cursed and thought that it wasn't him but who knew, he's the only one who passed my criteria for a disciple and tested him. Hahaha, I remember when he turned out to be the one who killed Nathan when I realized his curse. Then I made him my disciple and here we are… satisfied, Miss Aliya?"
"So that's why you couldn't sense the Mark of the Godslayer within Rin since only a God can see it and a clone can not.", Aliya nodded and had many questions but she first asked, "What kind of curse did he have to get the God of the Underworld killed?"
"You try to find that out, Miss Aliya."
"Tsk!", Aliya clicked her tongue and looked at Rin who was meditating…
While the two was talking, Rin couldn't hear what the two were talking. He was too focused on the pain. The more he forget about the pain the more he focused on it. Whatever Rin do, he could still feel the pain quickly.
One of the great things about Rin was that he was not easily angered. He was accustomed to everyone messing with him way back since he was a child. His mentality was that it's better for him to get hurt instead of others. However, currently, he would not tolerate any unreasonable that would go against him.
Right now, he was still under the guilt of the start of an all out war between worlds. Even though it still couldn't sink it well inside of him, at the very least, he was aware of it.
Thinking this, his thought derailed and his focused was diverted into many things. He was overthinking like he used too but not in a wrong timing. His awareness of the surroundings completely disappeared. At the same time, he subconsciously avoided the feeling of the pain.
Rin gone through many pain that he knew how to deal with it. He entered meditation…
Rin's mind was at peace, strangely, letting the energy freely flow all around him. He was used to pain and he was also used to the Natural Energy entering his body. He have no idea but when he was hanging on the ceiling back then, he used the Natural Energy for about three time.
All in all, his body was forcedly used the Natural Energy to bring him back to life six to seven times already. The Natural Energy had already formed routes through his nerves and veins that will make it flow through easily.
