The time for Ehit arrival has come. Eleonora and Noint were able to sense the powerful force of energy arriving at the direction of the Holy Church. The false god of humankind in Tortus chose the place where his devoted follower built a place for him to descend, and it's also a safe choice since if he is within the church, he surely can have some boost on his magic;. However, he cannot find any suitable vessel for himself due to the interfere of Eleonora that blocked it; what he finds is something close but not the best one he could use.
He growled and was annoyed, knowing that fact. The vessel he uses only has 20% effectiveness towards magic and could only handle that much. Since his magic is getting weaker because of losing many followers of his religion, he has no choice but to depend on some equipment and the likes to let him in a better state.
He came to the mortal world or lower world only for one sake: to eliminate the person who annoys him and get in the way of his grand plan after doing his business. He will deal with the heretics of his religion.
He has no choice but to choose the body of Ishtar Langbard as his vessel. Despite his physical being horrible because it's not young anymore and already old, his body is the most suitable for him. Ishtar Langbard is close to seventy years old, and his body cannot handle too much magic of Ehit. It's a defective body from Ehit's perspective, and he hated that.
'Damnit. To think that pesky bug of slut dares to block me to possess the potential vessel of mine easily like that… just wait until I kill you miserably and make you beg on the ground with that depressed and broken face of yours.'
And he even has to use [Restoration Magic] to revert Ishtar Langbard's body to his prime and back to young, which is to his prime and around early twenty years old. His devoted followers greatly welcomed him and gave him many praises, which is he loved it so much and didn't mind it.
"Ehit-sama!"
"Ehit-sama, please help us! Many of the people who became the followers right now turned to be heretics!"
"Yes, our religion and Holy Church are slowly being ignored and doubted by many. Please grace us with your help!"
His followers pleaded for his help since they didn't know what to do anymore because the more they tried to convince the people the church branded as heretics, the more they distrusted and doubted the Holy Church.
It's leaving them the huge problem which cannot be solved by someone at their level.
They even don't know who is the source of this. All of it happened so fast, and the followers couldn't notice it, even if they noticed that they were already late and could not do anything to prevent the collapse and ruins of the religion they serve.
"I know who is the one who did it, and I will eliminate the source of it. That woman is someone called Eleonora Pendragon, a woman with long blue hair and matched eyes. Bring that person to me, right now."
Ehit said with a stern face and commanding tone. There is a slight hint of annoyance in his voice right now. One of his followers nodded and immediately did his task to bring someone already mentioned by the Lord and God he serves in his religion.
His power mainly comes from his followers' beliefs, and 90% of it already left him, leaving him in fragile condition and may cause him a great danger. He was now so weak that he could only use his Ancient Magic a few more times, although another method absorbs the mana from other people, which costs their life.
That's why most of his followers happily offer their life in exchange for the magic power of Ehit since they did it for their god, and they couldn't be happier for doing that. Ehit has a slight smile when knowing that his magic slowly returned and rose to 50% out of 100% of his total mana in such a short time. Especially Ishtar Langbard, he gives him a lot portion of mana as he absorbs it.
After several minutes, which is approximately 30 minutes, Ehit could sense someone familiar to him and someone he hates. The mana absorption then stopped and only returned him at most 60% of his full power.
Right now, stood someone that is the biggest hurdle of him. A young woman with long blue hair and blue eyes, Ehit can feel the tremendous amount of mana coming from her and feel threatened. The mana he feels is very pure, maybe the purest and almost make him choke because the mortal in front of him is almost like a deity, despite being human.
The woman adorned a friendly smile on her face and said something to him.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Ehit. My name is Eleonora Pendragon, and I hope you can leave this world peacefully."
"Why would I do that? This world is the chessboard of mine, and all lives in here are basically on my palm. They are my toys, needed for the pieces of my chessboard. They should feel honored being chosen by me and not letting themselves be branded as heretics."
Eleonora couldn't help but scoff. From what she knows, the god named Ehit is quite childish and too dramatic, which makes it a bit cringe for her taste. Eleonora even can notice the emotion that the false god currently has towards her. However, she is not that surprised seeing the amount of hate directed from him since she is basically the biggest obstacle he has to remove as soon as possible.
Noticed the response from Eleonora; the false god's eyebrows twitched slightly, and so is his lips when seeing the young bluenette scoffed at him as if trying to mock him.
"You are really childish. Just because someone makes a mess of your so-called chessboard, then you want to get rid of it?"
"What do you know about it? You are only a mortal and only an ordinary human with abnormal magical power. If you do not have any protection around your body, I will choose and possess you as my vessel since you are more suited than that vampire. You better don't act too arrogant."
Once again, she scoffed and tried to hold her laugh.
"Say the arrogant one. How about we take this talk and battle in another place? [Teleport]."
"Wha—"
Before Ehit could say anything and his words were cut off, they vanished from the Holy Church and were teleported to another location. Eleonora had to do it to expose the truth of the False God that humankind worship in this world and let them saw it so they won't be easily deceived by someone like Ehit like that. She also knew some information regarding the organization called [Liberators], whose sole purpose is to fight against the unfair world and the god who created it. They branded Ehit as an evil god that they wanted to slay.
As both Eleonora and Ehit teleported, they right now arrived at a vastly grassy field. To expose the truth of Ehit, the young chairman already display magic that has the similarity like live stream on each city hall of Tortus, and the citizen of course gathered to witness what they can see today about Ehit and the world.
Seeing they are far from the church, Ehit glaring sharply at Eleonora and growl.
"You… you dragged me to another place…?"
Eleonora simply nods her head.
"Why would you do that? What kind of purpose that you have?"
"Should I tell you about it? What do you think?"
"Tell me, cursed mortal! I dare you to tell me about your true intention!"
"Hmm… how about no? [Hallowed Ground]."
As Eleonora says, an impenetrable barrier that can't be broken easily by normal means suddenly entraps Ehit in certain spaces. The false god was shocked when he realized that and tried to break the barrier after a few tries, which it took him seven tries by using [Spatial Magic] of him.
She whistled, seeing it and grinned.
"Looks like you can deal with it easily. I can feel you got stronger than it should be."
"Mere barrier like this is nothing to me."
"That 'mere barrier' takes you at least seven tries to break. Isn't that sad…?"
"Silence! You will regret it!"
Lifting his hand, he then uses [Spatial Magic] to manipulate gravity as he tries to pull the gravity around Eleonora and drag her towards him. A confident smirk is flashed on Ehit but soon disappear when he grabbed the young girl in his hands.
The same spell that tried to entrap him, [Hallowed Ground], suddenly came out, replacing the body of Eleonora. It's a trap; the young bluenette set up a trap for Ehit. One of them was secretly creating a clone imbued by the impenetrable barrier and disguised as her.
She also places the trigger when it touches by Ehit's hands or any body parts; it will release the spell of [Hallowed Ground].
"[Thunderlord's Judgement]."
Not only that, Eleonora not wasting the chance and immediately cast another spell and make it encircle the false god. It's six spheres of lighting that surround the enemy then connect to each other to a ring of lighting then forming a larger sphere at the center of the ring, which electrifies the enemy while preventing them from escaping.
Ehit was once again shocked and frustrated. He cannot break this barrier since it is more potent than before, added up by its countermeasure that encircles around him the six spheres of lightning that are always ready to electrify him whenever he tries to escape from it.
He was trapped once again, and it turned worse than before.
"Oh right, almost forgot. [Illusion Cage]."
As she said that, Eleonora locked a section of space and targeted Ehit himself, resulting in him being captured and cannot do anything, he couldn't even move his body, and it also can act as a barrier. She smiled, satisfied and can guarantee that Ehit couldn't escape from it.
"Alright, how about spare our time to talk about a few things?"
She said that with a friendly smile and tone, which irritated the false god and gritted his teeth.
"Don't be ridiculous! Freed me from this, you puny mortal! I don't have anything to talk about with you!"
"Ah, no can do. I will not release you if you are not talking about it. Just you know, I can also absorb your remaining power and make it mine, so don't do anything stupid and obey me. Is that clear?"
"How can you do that to me…?! I'm a god! You mortal should bow and kneel on me! Your weak and disgusting existence cannot be compared to me."
Eleonora smirked when she noticed that Ehit was unconsciously saying that without him realizes it.
"Really…? Care to tell me about what you want to do with the beings that live on here, especially human and beastman?"
"Their whole purpose is just for the pawn of mine in the chessboard I have designed. Human and beastman were only disposable trash that could be found everywhere in this world. Their lives mean nothing to me, and I don't feel any remorse or so when used them!"
"I see… so they were like livestock or sort to you, right? They don't worth anything to you since they are just disposable game pieces that you can always throw in the trash bin. And what is this chessboard you talking about?"
"It's a chessboard of life and death that will last for all eternity."
A sly smile shown on Eleonora's lips when hearing that and made her laugh aloud, which confused the false god of humankind from Tortus, yet he was still irritated and slightly annoyed but came into realization about what he had done.
His face suddenly turns pale and grim. The laughter of Eleonora slowly died as she showed him something while snapping her fingers; showing a large screen of the citizen of Heiligh Kingdom that has devastated, depressed, and distrust faces all over them.
Ehit or Ehitruje can feel it. His body drastically became weak, and cannot feel his magic, it significantly dropped at 10%, and his hands trembling when knowing it. There is only one emotion within him right now after too late realized that; fear.
The fear he feels comes from Eleonora.
"Y-You… you did this—all of this—just to weaken me…?!"
Eleonora chuckles and nods her head with Ehit still trapped on her spells since he can't escape or break any of it with the condition he suffers right now. The young bluenette could see the despair come from him, but not also the false god—his remaining devoted followers also bears that faces.
"That's right. Your charade is ending now. Your True Apostle also betrayed you and obeyed me—she became loyal to me. Your influences were also gone; so is your power source has also completely gone in the dust. Your so-called 'grand plan' is also revealed by your own without you realizes it."
"H-How… how you do that…?! I cannot sense any magic traces! I don't see anything wrong with me!"
"It's the same spell I did to Noint. [Divine Seal of Obedience]—A spell that allows me to enter the mind of any individual through the seal and manipulate them by giving them false experiences, making it seem as if they were doing things of their own free will. Basically, mind control but without the target realizes; of course, your weak condition is also the key part of it, and I basically just apply [Concealment] onto it."
"No, no, no! It can't be that simple!"
"It can be that simple, unfortunately. Actually, your arrogance and careless attitude also may play the biggest roles in it. You underestimated your opponent and carelessly measured me. You are too confident despite how many disadvantages you have."
Ehit became weaker, panting heavily and gritted his teeth. He doesn't like that the pesky bug as if looking down on him like that. He was played in her entire palm without realizing it, but Eleonora already predicted this and just did whatever she wanted to stall the time. However, she can quickly eliminate him by using [Erasure] to erase him completely and make his soul disintegrate without a single piece left and not allow him to be reincarnated.
But she wants to play him for a bit longer and watch how the reaction is when the false god realizes it too late, and of course, she is satisfied by it. Ehit reveals his true nature and plan about what he will do to any living beings to Tortus and makes them witness what he said.
"So… any famous last word you want to say?'
"Curse you, pesky bug slut! I will curse you and your descendants! They will know the wrath and fury of Ehit!"
"It's indeed a famous last word. [Erasure]."
With only that word, the vessel that Ehit possessed slowly disintegrated and turned to ash.
He also could feel his own soul, magic—everything he had was slowly disappearing and made him scared even more and begging Eleonora with anything he could. Still, unfortunately, the young girl ignores his plea and only watch the false god completely disappear forever from this world.
She won't allow him to be reincarnated too.
As Ehit soul is about to completely disappear, Eleonora feels something flew towards her that came from the false god and immediately shot its way towards the young bluenette's body. She can feel something slightly changed, and a blue box of notifications suddenly appears in front of her.
[+1 Divine's Fragment collected]
[Divine's Fragment (01/10)]
"What…? What is this? I don't remember creating something like this…?"
Eleonora was confused when seeing the notification since she didn't remember to create [Gamer System] or anything like that since she just made [Status], [Observe], and [Inventory]; not the whole system, only some part of it, that's why she confused, but a new notification appeared.
[Hey, how's going with your fight against that self-claimed god?]
Her blue eyes blinked few times before replying and asking.
"Who are you…?"
Eleonora asked that with confusion and trying to not sounds rude.
[You can say that I am the owner of that chat group you've joined and a god that has an interest in you. Ah, before you ask any mainstream question—no, there is no one waiting for you or something cliché like that. You don't have to complete any quests or so since you don't have any System. It's pretty dull if you were just doing anything according to what the System or any entities told you, right?]
Eleonora sighed and trying to calm herself. She nodded at the one who called himself the owner and created that chat group she joined. Honestly, she is pretty interested in that and wants to know more details about it, but she finds nothing, though it's not like finding who and what of the chat group is that important to her.
"That is absolutely true. Can I ask you something about this [Divine's Fragment]? Did something happen with my body?"
[Hmm… yes. If you collected ten fragments of it, then you could be ascended and became a goddess! Although Ehit is a false god, he indeed has the fragment, but that prick isn't a true god or anything like in any manhua or Chinese novel. He isn't a true immortal, and he could be killed.]
While Eleonora rubbed her chin thinking about it, she could see the cheers of many people in Heiligh and maybe the whole Tortus through her live stream magic. She just smiled, knowing that and somewhat felt happy.
"Is that so? But I didn't ask to become a goddess and abandoning my humanity, though…"
[If that is what you want, I can completely erase the quest and let you decide it yourself. I'm not forcing you but given by your personality, I doubt you won't take it. You might be thinking to spend your life forever with your beloved, right? If that's true, I just give you the solution, and you can take it or ignore it. The decision is yours.]
"I am not forced or given a time limit to do it, right? Is there any penalty or so?"
Nothing. Only defected System would give you that. Some of the penalty also too severe and almost makes no sense. You can just ignore it if you want. Ah, if you decided to tell me that you don't like it, then I will completely erase the divinity that was stored on your body.]
"Well then, let me think about it first, okay? The battle with Ehit surely takes my free time."
[Alright, alright. Do whatever you want, and oh right, I also have some gifts for you. I will always gift something to you every time you collect the fragments, so you can look forward to it. Isn't it great that you can get free stuff?]
[Gate of Babylon: The King's Treasure acquired]
[King of Heroes: Gilgamesh's bloodline acquired]
[Sha Naqba Imuru: The Omniscient Omnipotent Star acquired]
"Wha—I had the bloodline of Gilgamesh? Is this the same Gilgamesh from Fate series?"
[Yep! Since you're basically the true descendant of King Arthur or Arthuria from the Fate series, too, I decided to give you this. Amazing, ain't it? Those two has some kind of relationship, though Gilgamesh desire for Arthuria to be his made the woman hates him with all of her gust.]
"Unfortunately, that's true. But thank you for the generous gifts you just gave me. This certainly will help me a lot in the future. I really became overpowered, am I?"
She said that while smiling awkwardly, she could hear the laughter coming out of the notification that the chat group owner had. The owner is just laughing his ass off. After all, he can no longer hold his laughter because he finds the ridiculousness of Eleonora's words.
[Ahahahaha! LMAO! LOL! ROTFL! You were already overpowered, to begin with, but you didn't realize that. It's also quite funny when you said that your abilities are decent enough when it's absolutely freaking amazing! You just start training for a month and maybe two if this month is included. Even someone who has the [Gamer System] or similar like that would need to grin their asses off if they want to be stronger at a fast pace.]
The young bluenette just scratches her cheeks when being told like that.
"Ahaha… is that so? Since I don't have a level or something like that, I don't know the exact power I currently have."
[You are at the level that probably gives any Servants in Throne of Heroes a good beating easily without shedding any sweats. Give them at least 5 seconds, and you can win easily. Your skillset, most of them are dangerous and coupled that with your limitless mana. You can just literally create any kind of magic, enhance yourself without limit, trick anyone without they realize, and erase them out of existence like what you did to Ehit.]
"Whoa, really? I think you're exaggerating it a bit. Is that including Grand Servant? Since what I know so far about them is has higher parameters than the normal ones, and I don't think that they were that easy to be defeated."
[Tsk, tsk. You underestimate yourself too much. You can beat them easily, I assure you. Yes, you did have some time with Ehit, but that is because you decided to toy with him and try to reveal his nature and the truth he holds by himself. If you haven't done that, then Ehit will be killed within a second.]
Eleonora is humming "Hmm" as she trying to digest the information she just got from the owner about herself. She didn't expect that herself already to be at that level when she just began training for at least two months, yet she was already at the peak of human strength and maybe the strongest in the entire universe or some multiverse.
The young bluenette inhales and exhales her breath before saying something.
"Well, nothing wrong to be the strongest. That will give me some reasons to protect anyone I care about and important to me. Sounds cliché, but that's what I want, and I also intended to train some people to protect themselves in the case if I can't protect them at the moment."
[That's good intention and goal. Well, for now, you should enjoy your victory with everyone. Don't bother yourself with stuff like that for a while. Right?]
She could imagine the smirk and wink from the owner when she got that message from him. Eleonora just let out a small huff and understanding smile as she agreed with what he said about it.
Eleonora nods her head.
"You're right. I should enjoy the celebration of my victory."
[Oh right, you should deal with the retainer of Ehit first. He is a god that was worshipped by the demon race of Tortus. I'll give you the exact location of where he is currently, and my advice is that you have to deal with him fast or else he will begin to massacre all mortal races of this world.]
Seeing this made Eleonora blinked and nodded as she felt something that was currently in her mind. She already got the exact location of where the retainer of Ehit right now and will eliminate him as fast as she can so she won't have to be worried about the remaining of Ehit's allies.
"Alright, I got it! See you later, owner."
[Yeah, see you later in the future.]
