Godslayer's Legend

76  Fishing among Stars

In a unique spatial area of an unknown secondary universe, an isolated space that very few beings could enter comfortably due to the crushing pressure of the ambient energies in the area.

A figure of a single being could be seen. A young woman with long blue hair that reached her waist and monolid eyes. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her eyes were shining with an iridescent light as this being was currently situated upon... a star.

Her body was gigantic in size as she could actually comfortably sit upon a star. In her hands was an item that could be commonly found among fishermen.

It was a fishing pole!

A gigantic fishing pole with a golden fishing line stretched out towards the starry space in front of her.

She had a certain thought that would make many beings spit out blood in shock.

'It doesn't feel like my first time doing this, I feel like I did this before, with someone else, just can't remember who. We broke a lot of stars that day.'

**WAA

A wave of energy erupted not too far from her as the figure of another being appeared, it was a normal-sized black-haired woman who had black eyes.

Seeing the gigantic figure of the blue-haired woman fishing among the stars, she sighed and spoke.

"Alexia, stop searching for random star systems to mess with their time flow okay?"

"Hmm... oh, the jobless supreme."

"I'm not jobless okay?! And I have a name, it's Kelly, at least call me that. And also, return yourself to normal, it's hard to talk to you when you're like that."

"Tsk..."

Alexia clicked her tongue before returning to her normal size, the fishing rod in her arms doing the same as she put it away into her subspace.

"So what is it, jobless supreme?"

"Kelly!"

The black-haired woman who was always with Alexia, Kelly, sighed in exasperation at the fact that Alexia seemed to dislike using her name.

However, she did not dawdle on that for too long as her face turned serious the moment after.

"I want you to answer me honestly Alexia."

Alexia who noticed her serious, tone, adopted a similar attitude and replied.

"About what?"

"It's about Lucifer's descendant."

Hearing that, Alexia couldn't help but roll her eyes. Kelly ignored that and continued speaking.

"You're not planning to do the crazy things you did with Lucifer with his descendant right?"

Alexia burst out in laughter before replying,

"Crazy things? It was just a few pranks on some candidates of destruction. Nothing more, nothing less. Those were fun times."

"Don't play with me, Alexia."

"I'm actually not you know?"

"Varona."

"What's that?"

Alexia gave her a look of pure curiosity as she did not know where or what Varona was. Kelly's expression turned dark at this.

"Don't play dumb with me Alexia."

"I'm not, but you're calling the name of something or somewhere I don't know."

"That's where you kept the 'Rule breaker' both you and Lucifer stole."

Alexia's expression became cold at Kelly's words, she glared at the latter while replying.

"What are you gonna do about it?"

The air between them became tense, it was as if a fight was about to break out immediately. Kelly broke the silence saying.

"You sent Lucifer's descendant there didn't you?"

Alexia laughed and replied, her eyes still carrying the same cold glint.

"Yeah, so what? It's not like the rule breakers were yours in the first place.

It never belonged to you guys, neither did it belong to your superiors."

"Bullshit, the rule breakers are rightfully ours. We were the ones who gave them to you. Both Lucifer's sword and your 'Chrono controller'.

We were merely just lending them to you candidates."

Alexia's laughter increased at her words, she held her stomach and continued laughing, much to Kelly's obvious displeasure.

"'Rightfully ours', 'Merely lending'.

I'm sure you don't even know the rule breakers were made by a progenitor."

"Impossible, there's no way the progenitors possess the power to create such powerful weapons, no progenitor does."

"No progenitor does? Aren't you forgetting a certain progenitor who possesses a certain power against creation?"

Kelly was confused at Alexia's words, how could someone with the power 'against creation' be the one to 'create' the rule breakers?

"Huh? What do you mean certain power ag-"

It was then, Alexia's words finally clicked with her, there was indeed such a contradictory existence. However, it was simply absurd for him to be responsible for the creation of the rule breakers.

"Impossible! There's no way he can!"

Alexia gave her a smug grin upon seeing her reaction. "See, you didn't even know.

I'm sure that superior of yours watching our conversation through your eyes knows. He just didn't tell you."

Alexia continued laughing at Kelly's ignorance when suddenly, the air changed.

All the ambient energies in the area dissipated, all except one.

To be more specific, the area was filled with a superior kind of energy that made all the others 'shrink back in fear'.

Mana, aura, ether, aether, prana, divinity, enigma, demonic power, soul energy, life energy, holy power, death energy, law essence.

It did not matter what kind, they all dissipated themselves so as not to come in contact with that superior energy that was currently spilling out of Kelly's body.

Kelly's hair changed colour from black to ash, her circular pupils became a vertical rectangular shape with a dull grey colour.

Staring coldly at Alexia, she slowly opened her mouth, a voice totally different from before spilling out of her lips.

||Alexandria Vladicur||

Alexia's body tensed lightly at that, her playful attitude from before, gone completely.

Kelly's body began emitting sparks, the law of causality was going wild, the being that had possessed her was far too powerful to be in that plane of existence.

Even if the being was possessing the body of their subordinate and did not break any laws, the law of causality still searched for a reason to expel them from that universe.

Before something even greater than the law of causality could take action, the being looked at a faraway place and then continued speaking.

The next second, the being was gone, however, their words resounded in Alexia's ears.

Kelly's body fell weakly to the ground and Alexia rushed to catch her.

As for their light argument just now, Alexia knew that Kelly only acted that way because the latter was worried for her. The actions she was taking were far too dangerous. Even Lucifer did not survive the consequences, much less her who was far currently weaker than he was due to the two problems she was currently facing.

Stroking the unconscious Kelly's face, she thought to herself.

'I have no choice, I have to at least solve one problem, so Arthur has less to do.'

Looking in the same direction the being who possessed Kelly looked at, she spoke out loud.

"Get stronger faster Arthur, it seems the big shots have noticed you already."

◇　◇　◇

Arthur who was sleeping soundly on his bed, woke up with a start.

He felt a chill down his spine and his blood turned cold.

'What the fuck was that!'

He had acute senses, which was why he noticed it clearly.

Some sort of dangerous existence gazed at him. It was for a very short time, not even a tenth of a second. But it felt so clear to him.

'Just who is prying this time? I thought the rumours of me being unable to use my energy should have made them overlook me for a few decades.

Or is it because I fought Zach?

Damn, that b*stard, I'd beat him up more than I planned today.'

Like so, Arthur got up from his bed, took a longer shower than usual and groomed himself up for the day.

He picked up his phone on the desk and took a picture of the rising sun.

Uploading it to one of his social media, he captioned it nicely.

"Y-you, b-but yesterday you were? H-how?"

14:56

The reason for her shock was not because of his slightly cringy question, neither was it because she remembered the kiss last night. It also wasn't because his buttons were still opened up and she could see his toned chest muscles.

"Beautiful morning today isn't it? Seems like a good day to beat up some 'evil' masterminds isn't it?"

He turned around and asked Layla, who had walked into the room and was staring at him in shock.

However, she didn't answer him. He walked to her and waved his phone in front of her face, only then did she recover from her shock.

"Kreiz to Layla?"

"Y-you, b-but yesterday you were? H-how?"

The reason for her shock was not because of his slightly cringy question, neither was it because she remembered the kiss last night. It also wasn't because his buttons were still opened up and she could see his toned chest muscles.

Definitely not because of that.

She was simply stunned as she sensed Arthur's realm of existence. She was sure he was still a superior stage master like her last night, but now he's suddenly an intermediate stage grandmaster, anyone would be shocked.

Arthur realised the reason for her shock and looked around his room. Seeing the familiar ring on a table, he walked over and picked it up.

'Good thing mum didn't take it.'

While thinking that, he sighed in relief before putting it back on and Turning to look at the still-stunned Layla.

"Let's go have breakfast first, I'd tell you on the way."

With that, he walked out of the room while buttoning up his shirt, Layla listlessly trailing behind him.

Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
