Chapter 796 Start of a Massacre

"W...What...?" Ottar staggered.

Much like everyone on the scene, he couldn't process anything that happened in front of him. He tried to think but nothing came out of it. All that is certain is that he used Magic that was beyond Annihilation Class in an instant. A Magic that should only be if one of the Deities broke the rules of the Lower World.

The man in question, Kisuke, ignored their reaction and displayed an apparent puzzlement, "Oh my? There's no beam of light? She looked like Freya-sama but it looks like it's just someone disguised as her."

Only then that those from the Freya Familia recall who was staying on the top of Babel, "Oh no...", Grer Gulliver muttered in a horrified voice.

Just before they started this operation, Freya ordered the still unstable Bell to be moved to the top of the tower because that's the safest place they could stay without needing a guard. Along with him was Horn, the one who acts as Freya whenever the Goddess goes out as Syr and the only person who can share Freya's feelings and thoughts.

"But that was really heavy-handed of me...", Kisuke continued while scratching his head and expressing slight regret, "To annoy her on her way up, I used an attack that would directly damage her soul. But for normal people, getting hit by that obliterates their souls to oblivion, making their chances of reincarnating go down to zero. From what it felt just now, two souls have just perished."

Kisuke then looked at Ottar's group with a smile that seemed to mock them, "For that, my bad~!"

They couldn't fully understand what they just heard but they all knew that he just said something terrifying.

Of course, there were two people in the scene that fully understood what just transpired and the first one reacted aggressively, "Kisuke! You bastard!"

Loki was about to jump out the window with her crimson eyes in full display and her entire body was already being covered and roaring with Divine Power. This time, she was truly surprised and angry. Surprised because she didn't expect Kisuke to use his own soul to attack. What's more, it's already a technique that reached its perfection because it didn't consume him, which is something the Deities already deemed as impossible.

Even when watching the 'spar' between Serafall and Kisuke, Loki couldn't really tell anything from it aside from the strength they displayed because it was just a visual presentation without any fluctuation of energies they'd used. If she could have, she might not have closed the distance between them and might even have cut ties with him if she knew Serafall was using Demonic Power.

But more than that, she was angry at him. After interacting with him, she knew that Kisuke won't do anything rash. She knew that Kisuke should already know that Freya was not staying on the top of the tower and there are only normal people in it. However, he treated their lives and souls as lightly as he could. Loki couldn't accept that he would just destroy the most precious thing for the mortals and the Gods alike, be it her children or not. It is, after all, one of the biggest taboos one could commit within the Lower World.

However, the real reason she started releasing her own Divine Power was to stop the other Goddess from going ballistic. As much as she wanted to give Kisuke a smack on the head with all her might, she didn't want any full-blown fight to happen because that will only cause more misery for not just everyone present but for the entire Lower World. Not because of the catastrophe that a God could cause, but the reaction of the Dungeon after the fact.

But without even turning to her, Kisuke pointed his finger and said, "Stay out of this, Loki-sama."

Within that instant, Divine Power was absorbed back and Loki momentarily lost her ability to move and talk, '!? What's this!? I'm being locked within my own avatar!?'

Everyone from the Loki Familia saw that she's struggling to move and speak but before they knew it, the entire mansion they are in was already sealed with a barrier, "W-when did he...?" muttered Riveria as she touched the seal and figured that they wouldn't be able to break it.

After making sure that Loki won't be able to say anything unnecessary, Kisuke turned his attention back to Ottar's group, more specifically, the hooded person who's making her way towards them.

Faking a surprised expression, Kisuke greeted her, "Ah, so that's where you are, Freya-sama~. We haven't seen each other for quite some time but you're now wearing a very interesting expression."

Kisuke's words woke Ottar's group from stupor and just fully realized that Kisuke's attack just now resulted in Freya's favorite child perishing.

"Freya-sama! Please don't approach him! It's too dangerous!" Allen immediately got in front of her while Ottar kept his stance towards Kisuke.

However, Freya just looked at him straight into his eyes and said, "Stand down."

With the effect of Charm Magic, Allen instantly lost his consciousness and moved to the side as if he was a puppet. The other who was also looking into her eyes met the same fate while those who only heard her voice lost control of their bodies and also moved to the side.

"F...F-Freya...sama..." Only Ottar could manage to sneak in a word.

But the Goddess of Beauty disregarded him and the soft wind blew the hood covering her head, revealing a never before seen expression. Grinding her teeth and looking at Kisuke with eyes full of hate, "I'm going to trap your soul for the whole of eternity while 'craving' for me."

Using the full force of her Charm Magic, Freya's silver eyes shone in an unprecedented light.

In response, Kisuke's expression became lax and his own eyes lightly shone the same light as Freya's, "Come over."

Kisuke slowly walked forward and approached Freya as the latter took out a knife from her cloak intending to plunge it to his throat and extract his soul upon exit of his body.

Kisuke came into the range where Freya's knife could reach him, but before she could even lift the blade, she felt her whole body shake as she was pushed back, "Huh?"

It was then she noticed Ottar in front of him, with a worried but nevertheless, satisfied expression. This beautiful sight, however, only lasted for an instant as blood started overflowing from his mouth and nose before his upper right shoulder until his lower left flank slid sidewards, leaving behind the rest of his body.

With Ottar's upper body out of the way, Freya saw the supposedly controlled Kisuke with a blade in his hand covered in blood.
