Chapter 6 - The Witches of Sin

The next morning.

•••

The sun rose over the horizon giving the signal that a new day was about to begin, the sun's rays illuminated the entire world causing the darkness to depart.

In one of the rooms of the Mathers mansion, the sun's rays penetrated through the window making the figure of the person lying on the bed better seen. Sitting to the side, Kaito looked at Emilia sleeping peacefully. Seeing her face, Kaito couldn't help but slightly move the strands of hair that covered her face.

Being like this, Kaito realized the rays coming through the window. With a thought the rays of sunlight that crossed through the window were kept out of the room as if a barrier prevented their passage.

"Hey Puck, why are you still silent?" As Kaito lightly moved Emilia's hair, she spoke to the necklace that she had on her neck.

Puck: "...". However, Kaito did not get any response.

Of course, Kaito didn't care about this either, it was Puck's decision to answer, he had no obligation to make Puck speak. He didn't worry about it either.

Puck: "...".

Kaito: "...".

"...Ah, I guess I have to face it." Helplessly in her tone of voice, a silhouette covered in light emerged from Emilia's necklace. After the light dissipated she could see the figure of Puck with a helpless face on his face.

"Oh, so you went out."

"...What else do you want me to do, you know perfect-".

"Stop, we've had this conversation before so don't bring it up again."

Puck: "...". After Kaito's words fell the place fell silent with neither of them speaking.

For his part, Kaito didn't care, he simply called Puck to see if he had left because of his presence, if so, Kaito would think that Puck doesn't care about Emilia.

But apparently that was not the case. Although he is more powerful than Puck and he can protect Emilia with no problem, Puck still stayed.

"Can I ask you something?". Kaito asked with a neutral voice to Puck.

"Of course forward".

"How is Echidna? I mean her behavior." Puck was silent for a moment at Kaito's sudden question. He didn't know the reason why Kaito asked this.

Even so, even if it seems strange to him, he has no reason not to respond to Kaito.

"Well... I guess you can say that that woman is the epitome of greed for knowledge. She's willing to do anything to know everything in this world."

"I understand". Answering Puck lightly, Kaito knew that his idea of the Echidna was not wrong.

He just wanted to confirm with Puck the attitude of this woman, he knows that not everything about the personality that is written on the forums, other Web sites or on many sites about this woman can be true.

Besides, this is the real world, how can you be completely guided by information that you saw out there? What's more, I only ask this to Puck to know if what he saw with his Omnipotence was true, since he wanted to see if he wasn't affected in some way by the fight against Cthulhu.

"Why do you ask something like this?"

"Just to make sure what personality the woman I'm talking to later will have."

"That?".

"Forget it". Without intending to answer Puck, Kaito approached Emilia and gave her a light kiss on her forehead. Then Kaito got up from his seat and walked towards the door.

"Hmm, you may meet your maker later." Without saying another word, Kaito opened the door and left the room, leaving a shocked Puck like never before.

But Puck's shock had nothing to do with Kaito. Leaving the room, Kaito spread his awareness of him and found Subaru. After finding it, with a thought he called Kurama and Kurama appeared in front of him.

"Kurama give this to Beako and tell him I'll be out today too." As Kaito spoke, he passed two jars of ice cream to Kurama. He grabbed them with his tail and after doing so he nodded to Kaito implying that he was going to follow his orders.

After receiving his order, Kurama didn't delay another second and left the site. Kaito for his part saw Emilia's room for the last time, after doing so he transported to where Subaru was.

•••

In the garden of the mansion.

•••

Subaru was watering the plants, it was his job after arriving at the mansion yesterday. Although he was offered a place to stay he still didn't want to sit around doing nothing.

So today he asked Roswaal if he could work at the mansion. For his part, Roswaal did not reject him, the strongest reason for doing this is because Kaito himself sent Subaru to the mansion. So with this, Roswaal himself doesn't see any problem that Subaru worked here. While he was arranging the flowers, a voice came from behind him, making him jump in fear.

"Hello Subaru, good morning, how did you wake up?"

"Ah!... e-eh?... Oh... hello Kaito, I woke up well, and you, how did you wake up?"

"I woke up perfectly, and by the way don't treat me that way, I prefer you to be more casual." Kaito continued to speak normally as he ignored Subaru's nervousness.

"Understand". After Subaru spoke the place fell silent.

And not because Kaito was not a talkative person but because Subaru was nervous, you know the man in front of him took care of the crazy woman who tried to kill him.

So, how not to be nervous before such a person? Of course, on Kaito's part he was not willing to remain silent and he was the first to speak.

"Well, I'm looking for you to accompany me to a place."

"A place?".

"Yes, and by the way... I'll tell you the reason why you were sent to this world."

Subaru: "!!!?" Not knowing what to make of Kaito's words, Subaru simply fell silent.

Now in his mind were a lot of unanswered questions. Why did I come to this world? What will I do from now on? How does this young man know that I am not from this world?

All these questions that have been bothering Subaru all this time exploded in his head at once thanks to Kaito's words. So as time passed Subaru was silent since he doesn't know what to answer to Kaito. Right now he only thinks about his problems, so he doesn't have the mind to answer Kaito.

Of course, on Kaito's part he didn't care much about the questions Subaru was asking himself right now. So Kaito grabbed Subaru by the neck and dragged him away regardless of Subaru's immobile state. Of course, Subaru didn't stay in a daze for long.

Noticing this, Kaito released him and simply signaled to Subaru to follow him. This one for his part only hesitated for a moment until he followed Kaito helplessly.

So the two were walking for a long time. From going through the town near the mansion to continuing into the forest. It is obvious that this situation was no longer to Subaru's liking, as he was ready to speak he was interrupted by Kaito who spoke first.

"Well since I told you that I would tell you the reason why you came to this world. So it's better to start explaining things to you...". After speaking, Kaito began to tell Subaru the story of his past life as a Flugel. He like this left all the merits to his apprentice, then the facts of each of the Witches of Sin and finally why he came to this world.

It should be noted that Kaito also commented on Subaru's ability to return from the dead. And it's obvious that he didn't believe it until Kaito showed him scenes where he died and returned to a point in the past.

Having finished explaining things to Kaito, he looked at Subaru to realize that Subaru almost suffered a mental breakdown. If it wasn't for Kaito having the ability to stabilize the mental state of any living being, Subaru would have already gone crazy.

As he stopped in his walk and watched Subaru calm down, Kaito suddenly had a question come to mind. And with that idea in his head, after seeing Subaru calmer, he asked him his question.

"To all this I have a question for you."

Subaru: "...". Although Subaru didn't answer Kaito, Kaito still paid attention to what Kaito wanted to ask.

"Do you hate Satella?" After hearing Kaito's words, Subaru remained silent.

He was still shocked by all the things that were destined to happen to him in the future, so he doesn't have the ability to respond to Kaito for a while. Kaito for his part this time waited for Subaru's response, he knew that right now he was in a complicated state of mind so he doesn't intend to push him too much.

Time passed since Subaru had been silent without saying a word. And when Kaito was starting to get a little impatient Subaru answered his question.

"The truth is that I do not know". Subaru's answer surprised Kaito a bit. You know he thought he was going to say that he hated her or that he didn't, however Subaru didn't know how to feel he surprised Kaito.

"I see... you can still change your attitude later."

"Why would that be?" Subaru asked with doubt evident on his face.

"...Maybe because we're going to meet the person who brought you here?" Kaito asked this rhetorical question to Subaru which after a while he understood what Kaito meant.

Subaru: "!!?" Looking at Subaru's stunned face, a slight smile appeared on Kaito's face.

He didn't know why he liked to bother him so much, maybe it's because of the mysterious aura that surrounds him when he tells Subaru things that haven't happened. As for Subaru, he was still as a statue without the slightest trace of movement. Which made Kaito sigh, he quickly approached Subaru and put his hand on his shoulder before disappearing in a blink.

•••

Reappearing the two were already inside a kind of Ancient Sanctuary. However, this is not the most striking thing here, the most striking thing is the woman who is in the glass further on. The white skin and black clothes that she wore highlighted the features of this woman.

Even the stunned Subaru came to from the change of scenery, likewise he also looked at the woman inside the glass up ahead. Confused, he wanted to ask Kaito who this woman was, but the latter went ahead of it.

"The woman you see in front of you is Echidna... The Witch of Greed." After hearing Kaito's words, Subaru was surprised.

You know now he is not so ignorant on the subject, Kaito also told him about the things of the Witches, so the name of Echidna is not strange for him.

"Subaru, can I ask you something?"

"Huh? Yes, of course, go ahead." Confused by Kaito's sudden request, Subaru didn't give it too much thought and answered Kaito.

"Do you want power? Do you want the ability to see your parents again? If so, just follow me…"

"Follow you, something like being a subordinate of yours?" Although Subaru was excited to be able to return to his world, he still asked Kaito an important question first.

"Not like a subordinate, but… more like a partner." Kaito said this since he really wants to take advantage of Subaru's talent, which only with the ability to return from death did various things.

Although he lacks the experience he originally lived, Kaito trusts him. Meanwhile Subaru was excited, you know one of the things he regrets is that he wasn't someone important for his parents to be proud of. Even knowing that his parents love him, he still wants to make them happy, even for anything.

So with the decision made, Subaru looked firmly at Kaito and answered without hesitation in his tone of voice.

"I accept your proposal Kaito... I hope we can help each other in the future."

"Well, I'm glad you accepted, so from now on you will be called... Subaru Natsuki."

Subaru: "...". Not understanding Kaito's words for a moment, Subaru was ready to ask Kaito about the doubt he had.

But his doubts were answered at the moment of feeling how a great power ran through him, at the same time he felt how his body was transforming little by little, making him stronger and stronger.

But he couldn't bear this sudden change, so little by little he lost consciousness as he felt how his body was getting stronger. At the moment he was about to fall unconscious he felt how an external force helped him change him.

Looking up he met Kaito's golden eyes that were shining brighter than before. Knowing that Kaito helped him, Subaru thanked him in his heart and concentrated on changing him, after a few moments his term changed.

Recomposing Subaru felt stronger, as well as feeling his body and capturing the information in his head. About the Magic that he has now, he wielded the sword, the control of Death and Space Time. Feeling all this, Subaru couldn't help but look at Kaito and thank him.

"Thank you very much for giving me this power… rest assured that I will not let you down in the future."

"Leave it like that, go better prepare to meet the Witches with me." Waving his hands slightly, Kaito looked at Subaru as a yellow light covered the two of them.

Knowing that he was about to meet the Subaru Witches, he felt a little nervous, but after feeling the power he now has, he was no longer afraid.

Thus with a yellow beam covering the two of them their perspectives changed. The landscape of an Ancient Shrine changed to a green meadow with small hills, but on one of these hills a tea table stood out and on it was the Witch of Greed, Echidna.

•••

As she drank tea and wandered through her thoughts, Echidna could feel two presences in her space. Turning her head, she saw a young man with long black hair and golden eyes, which gave her a feeling of instinctive oppression.

At her side was another young man not as flashy as the first but who also made her feel a trace of oppression. But Echidna fixed herself for a while on Subaru's remaining aura, so that after a while of observation her eyes widened slightly. The young man had the remnant aura of Satella, or rather... his old friend.

As for why it is only the remaining energy, it is easy to explain. At the time that Kaito used his ability to rename other beings and strengthen them, because even if he is not in the World of Tension Kaito can do such a thing by manipulating the laws of the World, but back on topic, the powers that Subaru had de Satella disappeared directly fromhis body being renamed by Kaito.

When Echidna was lost in thought after feeling Satella's aura, Kaito slowly approached her with Subaru behind him. After reaching the front of Echidna Kaito materialized two chairs for him and Subaru to sit on.

So the three were left face to face staring at each other. After the time passed, the one who spoke first was Echidna. Who could no longer contain her curiosity by wanting to know Kaito's identity.

"Well, what brings you here? Or is it more precise to say... how did you get in?" Echidna asked this question without hiding her interest.

You know, she can sense that both Kaito and Subaru entered this space with their physical body, which made her become more interested in them even leaving aside the subject of Satella.

"Hmm, to your question then. My name is Kaito and the young man next to me is Subaru, as for my identity... I have a deal with your apprentice and I am a friend of your daughter. Are you satisfied?" Kaito answered Echidna's question lightly, but of course this answer doesn't satisfy her in the least.

"Hehe...a bit but...I didn't ask about your relationships and though I'm glad that someone like you is a friend of Beatrice. Still, I want to know who you are."

"Are you sure?". Kaito replied with a smile to Echidna, who also had a smile on her face.

Which bothered Kaito in a certain way, since in addition to the smile he had, he could see the greed to know who he was in Echidna's deep eyes. Well it just made him feel somewhat annoyed, he already knew what an Echidna was like so he didn't bother thinking about it for a long time. Instead he straightened his posture and answered Echidna.

"Well, so as not to waste words by telling you my titles, you can simply call me God." Saying his words, Kaito's God Haki shot up causing Echidna and Subaru's tes to change immediately.

While this was happening the two who were being affected by this suddenly saw large golden eyes looking at them as if they were simply seeing insects.

This lasted for a few seconds until Kaito's aura left and the two of them were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you clear yet?" Kaito spoke lightly as if what had just happened was something insignificant.

Well for him it was since he released his aura as if he were expelling the air from his lungs, of course although Kaito will think this way, Echidna didn't think so. But even with that fear his curiosity did not cease and even increased more.

"Hehe... yes, I'm already satisfied, but still... I wonder, why would someone like you come to me?"

"...I simply came to you to, revive you."

"Revive me?" With doubt written all over her face, Echidna couldn't help but ask Kaito if what she said was true.

You know even if Kaito told him that he was a God in addition to feeling his aura before, I don't think Kaito could revive her just like that or well maybe it's too difficult.

"Hmm, apparently you're not so sure of what I'm saying... to be honest, life and death for me is like child's play. And if this isn't enough for you... it could even separate Satella from the Witch of the Jealousy that you hate so much". When his words fell, Kaito could see how Echidna's body trembled and how her eyes widened in disbelief.

Even Echidna almost lost her posture, and with the intention of contradicting Kaito's words she prepared to say a few words, but in the end she didn't do this.

"Well, I'm only telling you this because I can do it, how much if you'll believe me has nothing to do with me... anyway, I'm just letting you know that I'm going to revive you because of what I told you before...". Although Kaito continued to speak as if what he was going to do was only a trivial thing, for Echidna it was still an unreal thing.

Echidna: "...". Seeing that Echidna was still in a daze Kaito, he paid her no further attention and instead prepared to leave the place to revive Echidna afterwards.

But suddenly he felt how five energetic spirits appeared in his range of perception, however he was not surprised by this and he was not ignorant either not knowing who these spirits were.

Since these spirits were the other Witches of Sin, which were supposed to be the biggest disaster that happened to this world. Well they say. Because since Satella did what the whole world did, she has totally repudiated the Witches, for that same reason they treat Emilia so badly for looking like Satella.

"Hmm... what are you doing here?" As Kaito watched the Witches, Echidna's voice echoed throughout the space with a tone of utter confusion.

You know, even if she has collected fragments of the souls of the other Witches, they only show up when she requires it, not the rest of the time. Then this fact of appearing suddenly took Echidna by surprise, but more than that she was with many doubts in her head.

"Why is it? Simply because you had the opportunity to revive... so why don't you take advantage of it?" The first to speak of all was Minerva, who was the one who had the best relationship with all the Witches.

"Do you believe him?" Echidna asked Minerva back, to which she was stunned for a few moments.

At that moment Sekhmet also intervened who spoke in her usual lazy tone while lying on the ground.

"Why not believe him, Echidna? You can't feel the power of this man, what's more... can't you feel his aura increasing discreetly but rapidly at the same time?"After speaking Sekhmet looked at Kaito out of the corner of his eye, after doing so everyone in the place looked at him including Subaru who was closest to him.

After seeing it, everyone could see how some purple flames surrounded Kaito from time to time, causing his aura to increase rapidly. As for the reason I passed this to Kaito, it's because he's increasing his strength, the reason for this is simple. And it is that the analysis of the fragment of the Void Energy was done in a single day, which Kaito did not expect.

Of course, Kaito wasn't going to let this continue so he quickly suppressed his overflowing aura, of course by doing so it doesn't mean that his power won't continue to increase, moreover, he feels like his Origin Energy is going through a change never seen before by him. he.

"You know Echidna really annoys me when people always doubt what other people can do or not, but since I made a deal with your disciple then I'll keep my part of the deal."Finishing his words, Kaito looked in one direction, and as he did so, everyone turned their heads to look in the direction where Kaito was looking.

When doing so, everyone could see the same thing, a half-elf in black clothes and with an aura of black and purple which surrounded her entire body. And yes, this person was nothing more and nothing less than Satella, the Witch of Jealousy.

•••

At the moment of her appearance, Satella walked directly to where everyone was while muttering some words that were hardly audible to the vast majority, excepting Kaito, who heard the words that Satella was saying without any problem.

But of course, he had no intention of doing anything and just waited. And so after a while Satella arrived in front of the other Witches who opened the way for her to follow her path. With a free space to walk through, Satella headed straight for Subaru, who upon seeing Satella only reflected an extremely strong feeling of regret with his eyes.

This feeling only increased as Satella approached and this feeling reached its peak as Satella stood in front of Subaru and uttered the words that both Kaito and Subaru already knew with.

"...Subaru...are you alright...remember not to hurt yourself since...I love you." Thus over and over again Satella began to repeat the same words to Subaru.

Which, although it still conveyed that feeling of regret, was no longer the same as before and even the moment came when Subaru suddenly raised his hand to caress Satella's cheek, who stopped speaking suddenly and looked at Subaru in disbelief since she did not I expected the actionsof this.

Not only did Satella look at Subaru this way, but the other Witches also looked at him the same way. But her surprises would not end so soon as the next moment Subaru's words left them even more stunned.

"Sorry for sealing you a while ago... sorry for not being able to help you and sorry... for leaving you alone for over 400 years, Satella." After saying these words, Subaru couldn't help but cry silently.

You know even if he is now stronger than before, even if he can help Satella now, he still feels bad. As for the fact that who is now Subaru or Flugel? He doesn't care what his name is now, he just knows that he was the man who left this woman behind by not being able to help her.

While Subaru was crying silently, Satella lost her composure, it's not like she went crazy or something like that, she just doesn't know what to do right now seeing that Subaru recovered her memories and at the same time recognized her. Besides that he is also crying for her which made her really want to do something for Subaru to calm him down.

But before Satella could calm down and find a way to comfort Subaru, Subaru wiped the tears from his face before speaking in a serious tone.

"Tell me… is that damn thing on your body still causing you a lot of pain?" When Subaru spoke the whole place fell silent, even Satella who was looking for a way to comfort Subaru calmed down.

But the next moment she looked at him with a look of pain but still she didn't make a sound. Subaru immediately knew that he didn't need Satella's words to confirm his question, so with anger growing within himself, he forced himself to calm down before turning around and looking at Kaito and speaking to him.

"Kaito, please help me take care of that thing after taking it out of his body… like you said before we are partners now, so I bothered you to help me with this." Dropping his words and not waiting for anyone's reaction, Subaru acted.

With astonishing speed he struck Satella's chest with his right palm which was covered with a faint white aura. This action made Satella's earlier worry turn into sadness, she didn't expect Subaru whom she had waited for a long time to do such a thing to her.

Even the Witches after a while got angry seeing Subaru's actions, even the ones that lost their composure the most were Minerva and Echidna, the former already had an extremely good relationship with all the Witches, more Satella being part of the Elves than protected, so upon seeingSubaru attacking Satella got angry.

Meanwhile Echidna having the most complicated feelings towards Satella also lost her sanity, she really didn't expect Subaru to do such a thing to her. And when the Witches were about to move they suddenly stopped.

Since they saw how all the purple aura that surrounded Satella suddenly detached from her body, in addition to that they saw how Satella fell into Subaru's arms out of exhaustion but was still alive, which made everyone realize what Subaru was doing.

Of course, even if they knew that Satella was fine, they only stopped their movements for a few moments and then continued, not to attack Subaru but to the purple Energy that came out of Satella or more precisely to attack the Witch of Jealousy, of course this act infuriated straight to the witchof Jealousy which couldn't help but yell at the other Witches.

"You...stupid women!...don't get in the way!" After saying these words with extreme anger, the Witch of Jealousy directly attacked the Witches.

"Really, this thing is an aberration that should not have existed." When the Witch of Jealousy was about to attack the other Witches, Kaito appeared in front of them and held the energy body of the Witch of Jealousy as if it were solid.

Of course, Kaito couldn't help but say a few words, which upset the Witch of Jealousy, even so, with all that anger, she couldn't loosen Kaito's grip on her. At the moment this happened, everyone looked at Kaito with surprise and the most surprised was Echidna who now believed the words that Kaito told her before.

Kaito for his part did not want to continue wasting time with the condensation of the Witches' attributes, so with a thought the aura that had previously surrounded Kaito's body appeared in the hand that held the Witch of Jealousy.

At that very moment the Witch of Jealousy stopped for a few moments and then dissipated like smoke. This fact surprised everyone, they did not expect Kaito to be so powerful that just by grabbing the Witch of Jealousy she would die.

Of course, if they knew that Kaito not only killed the Witch of Jealousy but also eliminated her from all existence they would be even more speechless. Although of course for Kaito this is normal, since since he accessed the Energy of Origin he realized that the Existential Erase ability was enhanced to an unimaginable Level.

In terms of why the Existential Erase was enhanced more than other abilities such as Laws or Concepts, it is very simple. And it is that only the Existential Erasure can really kill a being with the Level of a God of Origin or a God of the Void, since if it tries to use other means by the similar Force Level it will cancel each other.

Of course this only applies to beings with the same strength, since if a Void God faces an Origin God, the former can kill it with whatever method it has since the strength is not comparable.

"See, I was able to do this kind of thing easily...so resurrecting you won't be much of a problem." After getting rid of The Witch of Jealousy, Kaito went to Echidna who only woke up from her daze with Kaito's words.

"Oh, then I'll just wait for you to revive me." Right now Echidna doesn't doubt Kaito's words, she already saw this man's power with his eyes, it would be too myopic for him if he continues to doubt.

But apart from not doubting Kaito anymore, a new feeling was born inside Echidna towards him. He hadn't felt that feeling before, it even slightly surpassed the angry feeling he had towards Satella. And that feeling is obsession, he doesn't know why but Echidna wants everything on Kaito right now.

It can be said that the obsession with Kaito has already far exceeded the obsession he had with Subaru in the original story, well it's also normal, since in addition to saying that he can bring her back to life, he also got rid of the Witch of Jealousy, which had a strong impact on her.

While Echidna continued to look at Kaito with obvious obsession, he turned to see the Witches and spoke to them for the first time.

"Do you also want to resurrect?" At the moment his words fell the other Witches looked at each other.

Until after a while one of them spoke, which was Typhon.

"Big brother, if you revive us, aren't you afraid that the whole World will attack you for reviving the Witches who are enemies of the whole World?" Although Typhon looks like a child in appearance in body and personality among the Witches, she is not a fool.

He's already lived for over 400 years to know what people are like, so he doesn't want Kaito to get in trouble by resurrecting them. As for her concern, it's because she can't feel that Kaito is a bad person, although well it's impossible that with Typhon's ability I determined such a thing.

"You don't have to worry and neither do you, I just want to revive you because I can do such a thing. As for it causing me trouble, don't pay attention to it, anyone who tries to do something I'll just erase them from existence."

After Kaito's words fell, the Witches no longer made another comment and instead went to where Satella was, even Echidna, who was reluctant to do this, did the same. Looking at the Witches back, Kaito couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Apart from the fact that he can revive the Witches because he wants to, there is also another reason, which is that he really feels sorry for the Witches. You know before they had their authorities they were just common people, until they got their abilities their life changed and with it the problems came.

To give an example is Carmilla, who because of her authority as a Witch made those who will adore her do crazy things.

"Well, I'll go out and resurrect them. While I'm doing it, you could use the time to solve everyone's problems." After leaving these words, with a blink Kaito left this space.

At the moment that Kaito left Echidna's space, all the Witches looked for a while at the place where he disappeared and then focused on Satella, who was embarrassed for being in Subaru's arms and for the fact that her friends were watching her.

But the Witches didn't care about Satella's embarrassment and went ahead to talk to her, since Satella is fine now they all believe that it's time to fix things once and for all, even if Echidna and Satella the protagonists of this are together. they feel uncomfortable they will fix thisright now.

Of course, all this interaction fell on Kaito's eyes, who could only smile ironically, he really didn't expect the Witches to act like this. However, although he would like to see this interaction, he better got down to business, since he wanted to finish the matter of the Witches of Sin as soon as possible.
