With the defeat of Sarkitz of the wild the demon general himself show up and with his overwhelming aura, he cast fear to our heroes heart
"Aww~ darling don't point that dangerous thing to your beloved husband, you can stop the acting now, great job at bringing me the food I need, a slightly stronger than your typical human, just the way I like it" Valdarnt said
"Act? What Act? The one who is acting up here is just you, you don't even want me, what you want is my own unique skill as the princess of this village" Ayame argue
"You think I won't know? The moment you step on this village I already know your very motive, with the combination of your unique skill and mine you will dominate this entire country, controlling people as if they are your very own puppet" Ayame added
Hiroko, Murakami, and Crocus are all confused at what they are talking about and Hiroko asked, "Ayame what exactly are you talking about? You know his unique skill?"
"˹Possession˼, an ability to control everything in your field of view, that is what this bastard unique skill is, but there is a catch to his skill, to control living beings he needs to match that living being emotions, and that is why he want me, he want my skill, ˹Seeker˼, the ability to see everything for a mile away and have the knowledge about them, and that includes their emotion, with me he can do anything, he will be unstoppable" Ayame said angrily
"Is that so… if he is just here your head will fly off in an instant" Crocus said
Valdarnt suddenly smile and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
As the air vibrate from Valdarnt's shout in a heartbeat Ayame became unable to move and drop her sword as Valdarnt start to control her, but the necklace glow and Kuro came rushing out the necklace toward Valdarnt while saying, "Danger!"
Kuro rushed toward Valdarnt punching him in the face blocking his view of Ayame, and after the punch Kuro spin mid-air and kick Valdarnt on his side, sending him flying into a tree"
With Kuro's quick action Ayame regain control to her body and started to breath heavily as she try to pick up her sword
Murakami rushed toward Ayame to check how she is, while Hiroko and Crocus nod at each other
While Checking Ayame, Hiroko suddenly grab Murakami on her waist and lift her up, then he do the same to Ayame
"Eh?! Hiroko, what are you doing?" Murakami asked as she get flustered
"We are going to do what we need to do" Hiroko replied
"And that is?" Murakami asked
Crocus grab Kuro who is about to chase down Valdarnt and passed Hiroko and the others with Kuro in tow and then said, "Run as fast as we can"
"Eeehh???!!!" Murakami shouted in confusion
Valdarnt on the other hand are shaking his head and said, "That maid girl that came out of nowhere know how to punch, she really hit me hard, a summoned spirit? A Valkyrie maybe, but that is not the problem right now, that guy who destroyed my golem, is he not their companion or did Ayame just found a few rug thugs to help her?"
As Hiroko and others run away, Murakami said, "Oi! That guy can totally follow us, we should not go back where all the villager are or else it will be a massacre"
"I know that's why we are running in the opposite direction" Hiroko replied
Running as fast as they can Hiroko cannot help but said to himself, "God damn it, we definitely cannot defeat that guy, that aura he emit is pure darkness, it is even enough to make your ordinary adventurer to lose all hope, the only one who can match that is…. Damn it, Shino… where the hell are you?"
Going back in the time when Shino disappear from the light…
*Bubble escape out of Shino's mouth*
"W-Where am I?"
*More Bubbles escape from Shino's mouth*
"What is this feeling? Its cold….no… its quite warm"
*Open's eye slightly*
"It's dark… wait why is it slowly having a tinge of green… am I going somewhere?"
*The last bubble's escape at Shino's mouth"
"I…I can't breathe… wait what?!"
Shino finally realised that he is underwater and quickly tried to swim up and upon coming out the water Shino gasp all the air he need
As Shino breathe heavily he look around to know where he is and found himself inside a foggy room and soaking in a pool of water
As the fog slowly clear up, he notice a familiar figure across him, It was god, the two stare at each other for quite a while and then…
"KKKYYYYAAAA!!!!" God shouted as he throw a bucket at Shino
The two get out of the bathtub consecutively and sat down on what seems to be a guest room
"St-Stay there, I'll quickly change and get you change of clothes along with some Tea" God said
"Oh wait, I don't need to I can dry myself, also I'd like some coffee" Shino replied
As god came back with a cup of tea and coffee, they sat opposite of each other and an awkward silence filled the room
Shino took a sip of his coffee and said, "So…what is up with that scream?"
"Oi… you're the one barging on someones bath you know" God replied
"So you didn't summon me, then why I am back in here, I thought I cannot get back here after acquiring immortality?" Shino asked
"Why the hell would I summon you while taking a bath? Maybe those people use it again without my permission" God mutter
Once again Silence filled the room….
Shino just sigh and said, "Well… A lot has change here since"
"Yeah, A lot indeed, part of being a god I guess, ahaha" God replied
*Once again silence filled the room*
"Say Shino, I'm just wondering, what do I look like to you?" God asked
"Huh? A man that's are in his 50's with a long white beard and hair wearing a white robe, why you asked?" Shino replied
"Oh… well thank goodness, in your world a current trend is happening right now and the people I send to the afterlife see me as this beautiful goddess with a golden hair or something along the line, it really trips me out since I've been seen as male for so long" god replied
"Huh? Then they are probably just some weebs who want to be an Isekai pro…." Shino said after he suddenly paused
"Ahaha, you see a god's appearance differs each soul, but most often the souls I send before this trend see me as a man and now they are seeing me as this woman so it kind a make me anxious, hence why I scream like that in the bath and the change of atmosphere… I'm so glad that you still see me the first time we met, seriously it's a relief I can converse normally with a soul again... eh? Shino-san? Is there something wrong?"
Shino clench his fist and stood up and said, "How do I get back from the world you sent me?"
"Eh? Why are you in so much hurry? A day here is only a 1minute in your world, so no worries we can at least talk right?" God said
Shino starts to walk around vigorously and while saying to himself, "No-no-no-no-no, this can't be happening… I know he's god and all but I cannot believe this will happen"
Shino stop and get a good look on god and start to walk around biting his nails and screaming inside his mind, "How in the gods name she turn into a typical anime goddess?"
"Uhmm…. Shino? You are a bit tipsy right now, I think I know why you are here so at least calm down a bit, is that the coffee's fault? You have been drinking them non-stop after all" God said
"Blond Hair, Pale white skin, Glittering eyes, red lips, busty chest, slim waist, thicc thighs, a risqué outfit, a soft girlyvoice, He's just a man a moment ago but now, he… no She's became the perfect ˹Waifu˼ material" Shino said to himself with a menacing look
"Shi-shino? you got quite ascary look right now" God said worringly
"And what's more I was in a bath with her just a moment ago" Shino said to himself as he bit his lips
"No… let's calm down this is god where talking about, the all mighty and powerful one, changing into this perfect being is nothing to her, so let's calm down" Shino said as he sat down
"Are you okay Shino? I just check the world but none of those close to you are in trouble" God said
"But… Why am I remembering her as a woman on the bath earlier?" Shino scream inside his head as he turns beet red
"Shino, are you alright?" God asked
With arms both on the table, straighten back, and a serious look, Shino said, "God, I have something to tell you… I think I committed a grave sin"
"Oh… well… I can forgive it as long as it doesn't affect the balance of the worlds, what is it?" God replied
"Well… first let me ask you this, does this god's appearance also change what you look like on the memory too?" Shino asked
"Yes, as long as it inside a 40 days period, so your memories from the first time we met should not change, why you asked, did you perhaps see me now as a man around his 20's? Quite good looking aren't I" God replied as she tries to different poses
"Okay so you are aware, then to my sin…"Shino said with seriousness
As gods tilt her head in confusion, Shino then said, "You-…I just became aware of this appearance change when you mention it and now… I see you the same as those people you mention around that you mention"
"Eh?" God said
As god remember what those people saw her and the moment in the bath God turn beet red and slowly sat back down
"Shino… you still have that ˹Immortality˼ skill I gave you right?" God asked with a depressed tone
"Yes… why you asked?" Shino replied with a worrying tone
"heh!~ then I guess you can survive a few divine punishment" God said as she stand up and whip out a thunderbolt
As lightning sower from Alheim a loud shout was heard, "Ahh!~ God! I'm very sorry!"
