2 The World Is Ending

Within a grand hall, graciously lavish and beautiful, with pillars made of marble and gems, exuding an elegant refinement, a tall figure kneeled to a throne which seated a small petite frame.

"Hahahaha! We're doomed! Now that those idiots have decided to self-destruct again, by opening the Box of Pandora and thus unleashing corruption, the World is now heading to absolute trash!"

Vulgarities one after the other were thrown without restraint and I could only hopelessly nod one after another as a Champion of Light. That's right, this tactless figure sitting on the throne is what you could call a 'Final Boss' in video game terms. She is called the Ruler of Light.

Of course, video games don't exist in this world as actually, I have transmigrated from a more advanced world, though that's a long story.

"As the youngest Champion of Light in all of time amongst eight others, what say you, Alias?"

"My lord, with all due respect, if the world ends, then no faith can be acquired and thus we would be in trouble since we need energy to sustain our corporeal (physical) bodies."

Her eyes shone a dangerous red glint, "So, in otherwords, my youngest champion, you would be unable to indulge in lewd matters?"

Damn this old hag, if I knew she was this ridiculous and carefree, I would have served the Demon God instead of this asshole. Well, it's not that I'm unhappy or anything but rather it's the fact that I'm pissed at how she was infact the strongest Ruler among her peers.

Swallowing my pride, "Yes, if I were to be so humble, this lowly one would indeed be blessed if one could keep his body."

"Hahaha! Wow, didn't know you were this desperate to have a go at something, well you've only been serving me for a couple months or so, I guess you wouldn't be able to hold back your mortal desires!"

Says the woman that wolfs down deserts as if it were her last.

"Hmmm, what was that?"

"Nothing, your greatness!"

The woman who had sensed my insults took a dominating stance with her beautiful long fiery scarlet hair. Though she stood and was only up to my waist, she had the strength to cleave me in half as easily as crushing a twig, as easily as snatching lollipops from a little girl, this dangerous loli truly exudes an elegant and refined aura despite being as flat as a chopping board.

"Now, I know you're thinking of some indecent things that would incur my wrath but I will let it slip this time, you're lucky that the world is in danger and in need of Champions of Light such as yourself."

Beads of sweat ran down my cheeks.

"This lowly one would never think of degrading things such as your che-,"

"What was that?"

"Chests of treasure! I would never think of stealing the mighty holy swords of Rudiria! Truly, I wouldn't at all think of stealing the Bow of Alfheim and such God-class Artifacts!"

"Those are your weapons, you know?"

Sighing, the magnanimous God held her hand outwards to me and thus recited,

============================================================

"Huh?" A surprised expression appeared on my face as I simply could not comprehend her words, or rather it came out as garbled sentences when I tried to interpret it.

"Oh, are you perhaps falling for my graceful stature? I'll have you know, I have lots of suitors!~"

Was it just my imagination? Rather than that, she clearly just spouted a bunch of lies just now. What part of 'Rulers are just, kind and never deceive people'? Sigh, if only the people on the continent knew that their Revered and Almighty One is actually just a conniving little girl. Of course, she can be scary when she needs to be. I guess I should simply feel special at the fact that she only acts like this when we're alone, whenever there are other people.... Her attitude takes a complete 180 and has an imposing imperial aura.

"Well it's time to cripple your strength and send you down right away!"

My entire body trembled at her words.

"Wha-"
