Capturing the Goddess of Death earlier than the original work

Looking at the rain of energy bullets that were about to bombard him, Eiji only glanced at them briefly before turning his gaze away. In his eyes, all the attacks looked very slow. Especially after he mastered Garou's martial arts, he naturally created the most efficient route to kill all the Germinal members shooting at him with just martial arts.

So, there was no need for him to panic.

Eiji's gaze focused on Hila.

She had the same appearance as the version of herself in the manhua. Her wavy figure was like a western woman, but her face had the characteristics of an Eastern woman. She was beautiful of course.

In the original work, she can be considered a heroine. However, the protagonist does not open a harem and only marries one woman in the ending. That's why Eiji called her a losing dog.

She is pathetic.

The protagonist in the end only chooses a long-legged woman as his wife instead of a woman with a hot figure and big breasts like Hila. As the Chinese protagonist, he had quite an extreme foot fetish.

Eiji sighed. Since the protagonist didn't know how to appreciate the beautiful women around him, let another man like himself give them a warm home.

At least Hila wouldn't continue to be single and only live with a cat after the protagonist got married.

[Host, let's just say you lust for that woman's body. In your harem, you haven't had a woman with Eastern features. Ah, call it a jade beauty!]

'What nonsense are you saying, Miss System? Your host is just trying to be nice and give a chance to a woman who has a pathetic ending in the original work.'

[Okay I believe you.]

This woman clearly didn't trust her host at all.

Eiji decided to stop arguing with her and moved.

SWOOSHH!

Under everyone's gaze. They could only hear the sound of the wind blowing. Eiji's figure disappeared... No, they just couldn't keep up with his speed. Even Hila who had a very high-risk Esper ability could only see the heads of all the valkyries including number one being cut off in 1.2 milliseconds.

That happened since she saw Eiji leaning forward slightly. Hila didn't expect the man who came with the Deviluke queen to have such terrifying power.

She panicked, hurriedly stood up and enveloped herself with red energy. It was the same energy as the energy that bound the bodies of Zastin and the soldiers of the Deviluke kingdom. Death energy, this was Hila's esper ability.

With this ability, she can attack and remove the souls of living beings. Although not as powerful as the version of her in the original work where she was already at the Peak Beyond A (SS) level and was nicknamed the Goddess of Death who frightened people throughout the Shattered Star Ring.

The energy that envelops her is extremely dangerous if touched by a living being weaker than her. If it was a being stronger than her, their soul would be slowly corrupted by the death energy. Hila was relieved to have enveloped herself in that energy.

She thought she was safe.

However, she felt a chill on her neck and froze when she heard Eiji's voice behind her.

"I remember this is called death energy."

"How..."

"My name is Eiji Seiya. Your name is Hila, right?"

"How do you know?!"

Hila was surprised that Eiji knew the name of her esper ability and her own name. And feeling the feel of the man's fingertips on her neck, she was horrified.

Actually, to decapitate all the valkyries, Eiji only used his one hand which was shaped like a knife. His movements flowed like water but his speed was no worse than light. When you blinked, Eiji might have already beheaded people.

If it wasn't for the fact that Hila was so beautiful, she would have already lost her head. However, Hila didn't know this and after she screamed. She pushed out the death energy in her body with enough force to create an explosion around her.

*BOOM!*

The red-colored explosion blew up the throne room and the ceiling above it.

I don't know when, but Zastin and the other Deviluke soldiers had been released from the death energy that bound them. Just like Sephie, they were enveloped by a golden-colored barrier that protected them from the explosion.

"Eiji-san!"

"Eiji-dono!"

Sephie and Zastin were worried about Eiji's safety.

But, looking at the barrier that still enveloped them...

Eiji should be fine, right?

The huge explosion that suddenly occurred in the Deviluke royal palace naturally attracted the attention of the Deviluke soldiers on guard outside. They all panicked and hurriedly rushed into the palace as they just realized there was an intruder!

But just then, their attention was also drawn to a beam of red light flying away from the palace.

It was Hila of course. Realizing her mission most likely couldn't continue, she chose to escape and flew towards the Germinal space ship hidden in the forest behind the palace.

Her beautiful face looked very cold and said with pride in her heart.

'I don't know how that man knew my identity. But he has been hit by a blast from my death energy. Even if he doesn't die, his soul will be injured!'

'I still have time to return to the Aquamarine planet.'

Wrong.

Everything Hila said was wrong.

The Eiji she thought was injured wasn't even injured at all. He was still standing in the throne room in a school uniform that was not damaged in the slightest. Of course, although death energy was an energy with a deadly debuff, he had The Ruler and Avalon protecting his body passively.

Death energy, especially at the level of Hila who was currently still Germinal's dog, would not even be enough to tickle her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Seeing Eiji's appearance and hearing what he said, Sephie and Zastin were relieved to see that he was fine.

Eiji glanced at Hila who was a red dot of light in the distance. His vision penetrated any object and he could see Hila's plump ass clearly.

How could he let that woman escape?

Not because he was greedy for her body, but she should be punished for daring to blow up her future husband.

[Um... Host, since when did you become her future husband? You're not even her fiancé yet.]

[By the way, you finally admitted that you're greedy for jade beauty!]

Such things are not important, Miss System.

And is it just me or are you a little excited?

Ignoring the woman inside his head, Eiji teleported into the sky and took a posture to punch towards a space ship in the forest. Although the thing was shrouded by a barrier that made it transparent, there was no way his world serpent eyes could not see it.

He grinned.

"Nuclear Fission."

This is one of the techniques Garou has developed after he gained divine power and entered cosmic mode.

With just a fist, he could create a nuclear explosion.

Hila felt a chill run through her body that made her stop instantly. She didn't know why, but she sensed great danger!

The woman hurriedly manipulated the death energy that enveloped her into a spherical barrier.

At that moment—

*BOOOOMMMM!!!*

The Germinal starship parked in the forest was shot by a gust of Eiji's fist. However, not only that thing. The forest behind the Deviluke royal palace exploded. Everyone in the royal palace and the residents of Deviluke felt an earthquake. Many of them could also see a mushroom-like explosion from the direction of the royal palace.

They were dumbfounded of course. Especially Sephie and Zastin, both of them knew that the explosion was created by the blast from Eiji's fist. Zastin shuddered, but was also proud that with such power, Eiji was worthy of becoming the Galactic King after marrying Lala.

Sephie was amazed at the power that her son-in-law had shown so far. As her three daughters had said, Eiji's power might really not be inferior to Gid's.

However, when she heard his inner voice at this moment...

[Hila won't die, right? I deliberately reduced the output of my fist in order to create a nuclear explosion. Otherwise, I would have blown up the planet Deviluke.]

Well she probably still underestimated her son-in-law's power.

Sephie was happy that at least Eiji refrained from blowing up planet Deviluke with his fists. Although Gid could also destroy planets, she knew that man had to use a lot of energy, and would turn into a child for a few months after he did so.

But Eiji? He still looked relaxed after punching that hard. She wondered how many times he could do it?

Still, it wasn't just Sephie. Many heroines realized that Eiji was holding back for a woman.

[Mai: It's obvious that this woman named Hila is a heroine.]

[Kuroka: New sister, nyaa?]

[Asia: Um... I don't think we should make assumptions first. We might have misunderstood Eiji-san.]

[Rias: Asia, are you seriously saying that?]

[Asia: Actually no.]

At this point, do all the women in Eiji's harem believe that he's not interested in a woman named Hila?

They don't believe it!

...

In a large crater that used to be forests and mountains.

"Ugh..."

Hila was kneeling and groaning while holding her stomach.

In the previous explosion, she used all her power to defend the barrier.

The barrier eventually broke and some of her internal organs were severely injured. Hila's tight bodysuit had many rips, although her face was pale, she looked erotic.

She was confused, because the Germinal space ship she used to come to this planet was destroyed, she could not go back. For Hila, she was not afraid of living alone on another planet. But, thinking that she couldn't see her only family member on the planet Aquamarine again, she started to get anxious.

At this moment, Hila heard a familiar voice that made her heart tighten.

"You're still alive, Hila? That's good."

"It's you! How are you still..."

"I'm alive and uninjured? Of course. Although your death energy is deadly to others. That energy isn't even enough to tickle me."

"...."

Looking at the handsome man standing not far in front of her, and hearing his mocking words. Hila felt humiliated, she didn't care about her erotic appearance and glared at Eiji coldly.

However, she could only do this. She had no more energy to fight. Hila gritted her teeth and said, "What do you want? Kill me?"

"Kill you?"

Eiji glanced at Hila's lewd appearance, especially her breasts which were now only obstructed by a bit of cloth. He shook his head.

Hila noticed the direction of Eiji's gaze and showed a disgusted expression. Although, there was a slight blush on her cheeks. If it was any other man, she wouldn't be like this. But Eiji was the handsomest man she had ever seen. Hard for her not to react.

The current Hila is still not the Goddess of Death who has lost everything and lives for herself in the game version in the original work.

She could still feel embarrassed by the man who saw a lot of her skin.

"No, you are the only one left of the Germinal members who came to this planet. I'll catch you." Eiji said calmly and without a lewd expression on his face.

However, Hila snorted.

"Pervert! I'd rather kill myself than be caught by you!"

[What's wrong with this woman? Isn't it natural for the only terrorist still alive after attacking someone else's country to be captured before he is interrogated and punished?]

Many heroines agreed with what Eiji said, but since the one who said it was him...

They doubted what kind of punishment he meant.

However, Hila's cold gaze suddenly changed and looked at the man in front of her with a confused look.

She seemed to have just heard his voice from inside her head.

Was it an esper ability? Hila knew this man named Eiji Seiya had super abilities. The previous explosion also seemed to be his doing.

He was very strong and could kill her easily! But, why did he bother talking inside her head?

"Are you sure you want to kill yourself? I remember you have a younger sister who was held captive by the leader of your organization. If you kill yourself, who will save her?"

"!!!"

Seeing Hila's face so surprised compared to before, Eiji was satisfied. In the original work, it was not Hila's wish to join the Germinal organization.

The woman was forced to join the terrorist organization that wanted to dominate the planet Aquamarine. That was because her younger sister, Aurora was taken captive by the leader of the Germinal organization.

The girl was even more pitiful than her older sister. Because the type of super high-risk esper ability she possessed allowed her to heal people, her blood and flesh were made into an unlimited supply of miracle drugs by the people in the Germinal organization.

In the game version of the original work. Aurora died from running out of flesh and blood. Hila, knowing this, became evil and began her journey to become the Goddess of Death.

She became the boss villain.

However, in the original work where the protagonist has transmigrated into the game. Aurora was saved by the protagonist and Hila. This is what made Hila like the protagonist and chose to follow him after the Germinal organization was destroyed.

Honestly, Eiji could do the same thing as the protagonist. With his power, it would be a very easy thing. However, it depended on how Hila would choose.

[Now... Why do I feel you are the villain, host?]

'It must just be your imagination, Miss System.'

[Really?]

'Yes.'

Hila's cold expression eased a little, she looked at Eiji with a complicated look. She was very curious about something and couldn't help but ask.

"You haven't answered my previous question."

"Which question?"

Eiji looked confused.

"That..." Hila wondered if the man in front of her deliberately wanted to make her angry? "How do you know so much about me and even my sister?! I'm sure this is the first time we've met and this planet... this is far away from the planet I came from."

Hearing this, Eiji held his chin and looked at Hila with amusement. Should he tell her right away or do it the normal way?

"It's a secret."

"...."

Hila's big breasts rose and fell as her breath caught, she was angry and very dissatisfied with Eiji's answer.

However, the man's voice again sounded inside her head.

[Of course, I know a lot about Hila and her little sister, Aurora. After all, both of them are the heroines of the novel titled "The Legendary Mechanic".]

[In the original work, the future. The Germinal Organization lost their war against The Six Nations. Aurora, who was used as a factory to make a supply of magical drugs, was overwhelmed until she died.]

[I don't know how exactly the Germinal Organization can now have starships that allow them to go to other planets. Although there are slight changes in the original work, I believe the main plot in the story will not change.]

[As long as the Germinal Organization still needs the miracle drug produced by Aurora. They will still kill the girl in the process.]

Hila was again shocked, but this time there was a dull pain in her heart when she heard her younger sister was going to die. Her body went limp and her golden eyes trembled.

She wasn't stupid, she now understood that she could somehow hear Eiji's inner voice or perhaps something he was thinking. The man didn't seem to know because his speaking style sounded like he was talking about her from behind.

Eiji Seiya...

According to that man, she and her younger sister were the heroines of the novels he had read. This was why he knew so much about them and knew the future of the Germinal organization!

This was hard to believe but was there another more plausible reason why Eiji knew all that? For now she didn't know.

However, there was something that Eiji didn't know. In fact, since one of the Germinal organization's scientists managed to create a space ship three years ago. The organization's focus is not only on destroying the countries on the planet Aquamarine.

The organization now has several connections with people from other planets and obtains more advanced technology by exchanging materials. They were bartering.

The leader of the Germinal organization now had bigger goals! One of them is to kidnap beings from other planets to serve as experimental subjects. Coincidentally, they got information about the rarest and most beautiful race in the universe called Charmians.

By using a race other than humans, the leader of Germinal is like a pervert obsessed with creating a new kind of valkyrie. As a subordinate of that man, Hila had no choice but to obey his every order. Otherwise, he would use her sister's life to threaten her.

Hila clenched her fists with hatred in her heart. If she had power like the man in front of her, she wanted to save her sister and destroy the Germinal organization.

Eiji didn't know what Hila was thinking, but he couldn't help but smile when he saw the hatred in her eyes. It seemed like this would be easy, he could just throw the bait.

"Actually I'm interested in your esper abilities. If you are willing to join my organization. I can help you to save your little sister, Hila."

"Of course, don't confuse my organization with an evil organization like Germinal. I'm not interested in the miracle drug that Aurora can make. Rather than using that kind of thing, my healing magic is more effective and efficient."

[I can even revive the dead if some conditions are met. But I'm afraid Hila won't believe me if I say something like that. After all, we just met.]

Hila who just wanted to answer opened and closed her mouth. She doubted what Eiji said because she thought that instead of being interested in her abilities, this perverted man was more interested in her body!

But that was normal, Hila knew she had a good appearance and figure. She knew that many men in the organization often looked at her with hot gazes and talked lewd things about her behind her back. If they dared to do so in front of her, she would of course beat them up.

It would be a lie if she said she wasn't tempted by Eiji's offer. And if it was him, she actually didn't hate him too much because he was very handsome and her type. However, could this man even bring the dead back to life?

It was hard to believe like she was a novel character written by someone, but if it was the power to save her younger sister, Eiji really had it.

So...

"As long as you save my sister, Eiji. I'll join your organization and do whatever you want."

Hila said with a serious expression even though her face was pale due to the injuries from the previous explosion.

Eiji pretended to cough. "You make me sound like a pervert who gave you a deal to get your body. Although I admit you are beautiful, I have many women who are no less beautiful than you in my harem."

"Oh? But isn't that right?"

Hila's smile looked cold, but at the same time a little flirtatious. She wasn't so surprised to learn that a man as handsome and powerful as Eiji had a harem. She didn't care as long as he saved her younger sister.

Eiji didn't answer, he cast healing magic on the woman before taking her to teleport to meet his mother-in-law.

Compared to an arrogant and narcissistic woman like Hila, he still had to comfort Sephie who must be worried about him and would maybe give him a kiss or something else as a reward?
