Chapter 15

'Akira...'

Nyx's eyes were slightly dreamy.

Memories arose in her mind...

A white haired boy holding a Taiyaki in the cold snow, tilted his head and said, "Onee-san, this is for you."

Nyx was about to leave, but somehow stopped in her tracks.

She picked up the Taiyaki and gently took a bite.

It was one of the best things she had tasted in her life.

"Do you want to become a God, little boy?"

The little boy asked back, "What is becoming a God?"

Nyx thought for a moment and said, "To become a God.... It is to be able to be above everyone else, and to have strength enough to do whatever you please."

The boy tilted his head and said, "So I can protect the people I want to protect?"

Nyx nodded, "I think you can."

The little boy smiled brightly, "Then I want to become a God, because I want to protect onee-san."

Nyx looked strangely at the little boy and said, "We have never met before, so why do you want to protect me?"

The little boy then looked into her eyes and said, "Because onee-san is very pretty. My father told me that beautiful things are fragile and need to be protected."

Nyx froze.

As the Primordial Goddess of Night and younger sister of Erebus, she was synonymous with power. With just one speech she could move thousands under her command.

If she was happy then thousands would be blessed, but if she was angry then millions would die under her overwhelming power.

But the little boy in front of her said he wanted to protect her?

After a long silence, Nyx held out her hand, "Let's go."

"Okay."

The little boy, unsuspecting, slipped his warm little hand into her palm.

The two figures floated away, lost in the snow and wind.

...

Akira was just a human without much talent, but he was able to become a reincarnated devil and even join a small faction.

Everyone thought that these were things he had achieved because of his good looks.

But no one knew that Nyx just wanted to pay for that Taiyaki from that time.

Initially she would have liked to make him a god, but because of his low talent, she knew that this would not benefit him and in fact would be bad, for this reason she decided to just make him a reincarnated devil, so that he could live for thousands of years without worrying.

But who could have imagined, that by doing this, she would almost kill Akira.

She hoped that when she met him again, Akira would blame her for making him a devil, or even for not taking care of him as she had promised.

After her conversation with Hypnos, she decided to go in person to 'rescue' Akira, and when she did, she found him in a flower garden, and without much thought she pulled him into her shadow dimension.

But she never expected that the moment she found him, he would declare himself to her.

She was shocked in the extreme. A confession!

The image of Akira still whispered in her mind, "Since the day I met you, I could never get you out of my heart.... When I think of you, I feel a mixture of indescribable emotions that make me want to say how much.... I love you."

Nyx had been single for hundreds of years. If there was a ranking of single women, she would definitely be at the top. Although it was her own decision not to have a boyfriend. The fact was also that no one had ever confessed to her. She was very powerful and had a sadistic personality. Her looks made people fall in love, but at the same time caused a sense of endless fear. Nobody dared to pursue her. So she remained single until today.

But now, this status quo has been broken. Someone pursued her in a direct and clear way. Moreover, this person was unexpectedly the little boy she had 'rescued' in the past.

As Nyx looked at the kneeling Akira, her hands holding the ring trembled uncontrollably, "That pervert! You declared yourself to me, and now you stand there kneeling without even opening your eyes."

She wanted to crush Akira to death, but when she remembered Akira's loving lines, she suddenly lost all her strength.

'So that's the feeling of being confessed...'

"Akira... he likes me?" Nyx's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and a myriad of complex emotions emerged in her heart.

Perhaps due to this mixture of feelings in her head and heart, she eventually accepted Akira's feelings.

But after accepting, she regretted it.

'How could I accept his feelings? I am the Primordial Goddess of the Night, and he is just a reincarnated devil.... But with my strength no one will be able to stand against us.... AAAAH! What am I thinking?

Nyx was very confused.

'WHY AREN'T YOU SAYING ANYTHING ELSE?!'

Her eyes had a trace of resentment as she saw Akira kneeling like a statue.

From the moment she accepted Akira's confession, he had not moved an inch.

...

At this point, Akira was in a state of extreme shock.

[Mission complete]

"..."

Akira: "????"

'The target of the confession... N... Nyx?!

Before this, he was confessing to Runeas in a beautiful flower garden that he had prepared in advance, but then why was the target of the confession this extremely powerful and frightening Goddess?

The shock was so great that he didn't move for a long time.

Sensing his surroundings, he realized that he was no longer in the flower garden, but in a dimension taken over by shadows. He knew that this was probably due to Nyx.

Thinking for a moment, he understood everything.

The man who had 'kidnapped' him had probably been sent by Nyx, for in his body was a divine trace of the shadows that only Nyx could possess.

If he was not mistaken, the man was one of Nyx's creations along with Erebus.

It was likely that Nyx wanted to find him, but since he had escaped from that man's hands with the help of Runeas. It is likely that Nyx had come in person to get him.

Unfortunately Akira's luck was not good enough, for when he was declaring himself to Runeas, he was pulled into Nyx's dimension.

And since he had not said Runeas' name during his confession, Nyx probably thought the confession was for her.

'I just wanted to woo Runeas! I never expected to woo Nyx instead!'

Akira wanted to cry, but he had no tears.

It was one thing to confess to Runeas who spent most of her time sleeping, and even if she was smart she probably didn't have much knowledge about the current world, but now, to confess to Nyx...

That was completely different.

We are talking about a woman who in the future would join Hades' faction to defeat the protagonist of this world. Not only that, this woman has a strength that could definitely place her among the twenty most powerful in this world.
