Chapter 634 - "Critical Point of Fate"

Fate, who had grown stronger. No. Fate, who has evolved to a stronger being, turned her gold-patterned purple eyes to the G.o.ds, before lightly waving her hand to them.

Thereupon, the Human-Demon Allied Forces who should have been restrained by Chronois Judgment was released.

[This is impossibleYou deactivated Shallow Vernals authority?]

[I didnt deactivate it. I just decided that your magic didnt hit right from the start.]

[From the start Could it be, G.o.d of Fate, that you just altered the past]

[Its just as I told you. Ive transcended time, s.p.a.ce and life I can alter, even the fate of the past.]

[Wha!?]

Having stepped into the realm of the World-creating G.o.ds the realm of near omnipotence, Fate altered the past all too easily.

However, since she was still far from the likes of Shallow Vernal, Kuromueina and Eden, she chose to alter the event to make it like the Judgment never hit from the beginning, rather than canceling out a spell made from Shallow Vernals magic power.

However, the G.o.ds wouldnt know that. In their eyes, it would have appeared that Fate had gained a power comparable to Shallow Vernal.

Thats why, they were greatly shaken and an opening appeared within their hearts. As if to exploit the opening within their hearts, Fate raised her voice to the Human-Demon Allied Forces behind her.

[Oi, you slow-witted people! Frustrated? You lot must be frustrated, right? You all wanted to help Kai-chan, holding unto some determination, but youve just become slow-witted weaklings You find it unpleasant, right?]

Her words pierced the hearts of many in the Human-Demon Allied Forces who hadnt partic.i.p.ated in the battle. Especially Kaitos lover, Sieglinde, who was clenching her fist so hard that blood started dripping from her hand.

Lilia can still manage to fight against a low-ranking G.o.d. However, Sieglinde doesnt have the ability to keep up with this battle. No, on the contrary, she could only lament her helplessness because she understood that she would only end up dragging down her best friend, Lilia.

There are also others who feel the same way as even Lilia, who was able to partic.i.p.ate in the battle, regretted her weakness, as she had to do her best just to fight against a single low-ranking G.o.d.

Facing such people, Fate slightly smiled and declared.

[That thought of helping Kai-chan, Im with you regarding that. Thats why, I will lead all of you! For a few moments Beyond the limits of race, beyond the time required to train, to the extremes you can reach with the talent you possess! To the critical point of your fate!!!]

At that moment, magic that could shake the s.p.a.ce was released from Fates body, pouring down on each and every member of the Human-Demon Allied Forces.

The G.o.ds somehow knew that it would be dangerous. Therefore, the G.o.ds, especially the High-ranking G.o.ds, immediately began to act.

At the same time as the G.o.d of Flash, who had overwhelming speed second only to Chronois, flew out towards Fate, someone quickly flew out from within the Human-Demon Allied Forces.

She, who was lamenting her helplessness even more than the others, jumping out faster than the others was Sieglinde.

Originally, Sieglindes abilities, even though shes considered as a powerful Human, would not be able to stand up to an enhanced G.o.d, much less an enhanced high-ranking G.o.d. Fighting against them would normally have been a momentary exchange, where her fragile life ends.

However, that didnt happen. Sieglinde easily shattered the spear that the G.o.d of Flash had thrust out with her twin swords that were filled with powerful Endowment Magic, cutting deep into the G.o.d of Flashs body.

[I- Impossible]

Such a voice unconsciously leaked out of Chronois mouth. It wasnt hard to understand why. Sieglinde, who wasnt even counted as a fighter just a while ago, has somehow acquired magic power that surpa.s.ses even todays enhanced High-ranking G.o.ds

Moreover, it isnt just her magic power that has increased like the G.o.ds. The refined and unhindered flow of magic power is proof that Sieglinde has perfected the use of her magic power.

Chronois eyes widened at the unbelievable sight, but then, she felt time stop and took a stance to intercept Ein, who must have been trying to attack her.

Just like when the battle started, a clash of fists within the stopped time but receiving Eins strike, Chronois arm was blown off.

[Guhhhhh!?]

[G.o.d of Time and s.p.a.ce!?]

Yes, Chronois was completely outmatched by Ein. She was so overwhelmed that her arm was blown off Despite her astonishment, Life immediately healed her, restoring her arm back to normal. Thinking about her blown off arm, Chronois looked at Ein with a shocked expression on her face.

Under Chronois gaze, Ein lightly plucks at the skirt of her maid uniform, curtsied, before speaking.

[I guess I have to thank Fate. I thought I had trained myself to the limit as a maid but it seems that I still have some room to grow.]

[Whats happening What in the world is with this power?]

[Tsk, this is Eh?]

They still couldnt understand the situation. However, Life understands that Ein had completely surpa.s.sed Chronois. Thats why, she immediately tried to support her.

Using her power to create an infinite number of troops, she tried to create more than a billion cavalry but she was dumbfounded when she found out that her ability didnt work.

[Why didnt it work?]

[I killed them when you activated your ability]

What appeared in front of Life was Isis with a somewhat peaceful expression on her face. However, the moment Life saw such an Isis, she was greatly shaken up inside.

(I dont feel intimidated at all? Thats impossible That would mean)

Yes, she didnt feel any intimidation from Isis magic power of death now. At the same time that Life realized what this meant, Isis calmly announced.

[Ive always dreamt of a day like this where I could completely control my magic power of death for the way I am now I could even kill things that hold no life.]

[No way G.o.d of Fate made that possible]

Looking at Isis, Life finally understood what Fate meant with the critical point of fate, making her shudder.

[Raising them to their critical points, to the highest peak of their talent-!? Oh no! Life! Go focus on fighting Death King!]

What Fate has done was, whether its the limits of the physical body as a species, or the time of training which would normally take them many years to reach.. ignoring all these factors, she would temporarily make one grow to the limit of their natural talent And as if Chronois had also reached such a conclusion, someone popped into Chronois head.

[But someone! Anyone! Stop Lilia!]

Immediately after that, a number of glowing trails appeared in the sky. Those glowing trails didnt mean that she was there. Those glowing trails mean that she pa.s.sed through there.

As that trajectory of light carved through the battlefield multiple times The G.o.ds were being slashed apart at a speed that Lifes revivals couldnt catch up.

In this world, it was perceived that the Humans, especially the humans, are inferior to other races in terms of individual combat power. In fact, there are probably only a few humans in history who are capable of fighting against High-ranking Demons.

(T/N: Human(upper-case) = The beings living in the Human Realm. humans(lower-case) = the human species itself.)

In that case, are humans inferior to other species? No, thats not the case. It was just that they have a different special characteristic.

Indeed, the humans have a short lifespan and arent as physically strong as other species.

However, if a human and a Demon with the exact same level of talent are raised in the same environment with the same training It would be the human who will become stronger first.

The humans grow at a rate that leaves Demon children far behind, and even if you were to pit them against each other, the human would dominate until the human begins to age and their physical capabilities deteriorate.

Yes, what makes the humans superior to other long-lived species is their growth speed Compared to other species, humans mature quicker. While they have overwhelming growth potential and speed, they also have a short lifespan.

So, what if a human is freed from the physical limitations of their race and from the deterioration of her abilities due to aging? And what if a human with superior growth potential was born with a talent unparalleled in all of history a genius who, in less than 20 years, has stepped into the realm of Peerage-ranks, which the Demons only reached after hundreds or thousands

of years of training, is freed from all of these shackles?

After she bestowed her True Blessing, Chronois once taught Lilia the magic of manipulating time. Hence, she knew how she is too much of a genius.

In just a month or so, Lilia mastered the magic of time, which Chronois had predicted would take decades to learn. And now, such a person with bottomless talent is

Magic power like thunderbolts gus.h.i.+ng out, Lilia Albert knocked down the G.o.ds with her impermissible talent. A single swing of her sword sliced through several High-ranking G.o.ds, while the s.p.a.ce shook with just a single step.

How many beings exist in this world that can stop her now? With such overwhelming power, the rare genius laid waste to the G.o.ds.

[Well~~ Thats quite spectacular, isnt it? With everyone getting super power-ups, the power-balance is completely broken~~]

[Hey, Shall-tan? Why are we drinking tea and going into relaxation mode? Im working hard for Kai-chan, you know]

[Guess you would. However, its better if you dont push yourself too hard. That state probably doesnt last that long, right?]

[Well, holding this state out hurts a bit.]

Alice, watching the fierce battle while drinking a cup of tea she took out of nowhere, and Fate, looking at the battlefield with sweat dripping from her forehead. Both of their states were in contrast with each other.

Fate has indeed risen to a higher stage as a G.o.d. However, it is difficult for her to continue to exercise her enormous power when she was still growing up, and thus, the Critical Point of Fate wouldnt last very long.

On top of that, she wasnt used to her new state yet, and was unable to use her powers well.

Thats why Fate was desperately hoping that the battle would be settled as soon as possible, as she fought to keep her body from collapsing from exhaustion.

[I mean, Shall-tan, doesnt my power work at you? I cant see any change in you at all.]

[Ah~~ No, its just simple. Me, you see Simply speaking, Ive already reached max level and had even done sidequests to bulk up my status even more, so I wouldnt grow anymore. Thats the case even before I came to this world]

[Eh? B- But Shall-tan, compared to 20,000 years ago]

[Ahh, well, that has something to do with my special characteristic. The way I am now is quite peculiar, and I can only grow under a certain condition. Well, putting aside refining various skills and techniques, my physical abilities and magic power wouldnt grow outside of that condition.]

[So, youre saying that from the last time you fought 20,000 years ago, youve met that condition and became more powerful?]

[Yes, it happened just before we had that pa.s.sionate fistfight under the sunset. Well, my opponent at that time is seriously freaking annoying, but I guess Im grateful for the growth Ive had back then, because it has helped me a lot for this battle.]

[Unnn?]

After saying something that somehow contained some meaning, Alice quietly looked at the battlefield without saying anything else.

(Now then, thanks to Fate-sans hard work, this had led to one of the pretty good developments that Ive had expected. However, hmmm I dont think this battle would be settled before Fate-san reaches her limit. The G.o.ds still have one more trump card left after all and well probably end up losing even if we defeat the G.o.ds at this rate~~)

After thinking that much, a small smile appeared on Alices lips before it was covered up with the tea she brought into her mouth.

(Well, it looks like Ill have to make my move in a few moments, so lets just enjoy our tea time while we can.)
