After the school dismissal bell rang, at the location specified by Ena, a forest on the edge of the city.
Erica ca there alone.
At least that's what she and Ena thought. Before this, she had even deliberately asked Eiji to let her go alone. Not only to prove that she could solve her problem with Ena without his help, but also so that he could have a date after school with Liliana and Yuri.
This was her own idea.
As Eiji's future first wife in this world, she was deliberately showing her absence so that she could refrain from interfering with the developnt of his and the other won's relationships.
If she was with him in the process, she was worried that she would not be able to refrain from being jealous.
She—Erica Blandelli—had sacrificed so far for a man. Her past self must have thought she was crazy.
"Blandelli-san, you really ca and made the right choice not to invite Eiji-sama and the others. " Ena said while holding her bandaged sword in front of her chest.
"Is that a complint from you?" Erica folded her hands under her plump chest, she guessed what the woman in front of her wanted by bringing her to a place like this.
Even so, she showed that she was not nervous at all, she was very calm and confident that she would win.
"Yes, Ena complints you because even if you lose, you won't feel so embarrassed because no one else will see it. In this world, it is the strongest who deserve to stand closest beside Eiji-sama!"
Erica sighed before laughing, her school uniform turning into her combat uniform. "Hehe, Ena Seishuuin, you seem to underestimate . I've been quite patient with your wild behavior this noon. But wanting Eiji's 'first wife' position in front of ? That's a declaration of war that my pride can't forgive."
Ena removed the bandage wrapped around her sword while grinning widely. Now the sword's appearance was clearly visible; it was black in color and after the scabbard was removed, a purple divine power enveloped the wielder's body.
"Oho? This Italian Big Lady is getting hot, huh? Then, let Ena test how strong you are before the divine sword—Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi."
"This energy... Divine power!?"
Erica was surprised, she now knew why the woman in front of her was so confident. It was because instead of magic, she could wield divine power like a Heretic God.
And it seed to be because of her sword.
Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi, or also commonly called Kusanagi no Tsurugi.
In legend, it was said that the sword was once wielded by a God nad Susanoo.
She didn't know how Ena had gotten such a good sword. Of course, Erica was not jealous.
Right now, she didn't even think she would lose just because of the difference in weapon level between them.
"That's right. Just like the Heretic Gods and Champione, Ena can use divine power. That is another reason why Ena is more suitable to be Eiji-sama's wife."
Right after Ena said that. Red-colored magic energy exploded with Erica as the center.
Oppression that was no less than Susanoo's divine power stored inside Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi, spread throughout the surrounding forest.
Now it was Ena's turn to be surprised.
How could the woman in front of her have that much magic power!?
"You..."
"Stop babbling and let's see how good you are."
Erica drew her sword. She didn't bother to explain that she had Eiji-'s love mark—I an Master-Servant contract.
She wanted to quickly teach the black-haired woman a lesson.
Only then...
The wind picked up, blowing dry leaves as they stood face to face holding their swords in their hands.
A few seconds later.
Erica shouted, "Show your strength, Cuore di Leone!" With a forward stabbing motion, the long silver sword in her hand released a wave of magic energy that looked like a laser. The range of the attack was also so wide that Ena had difficulty dodging it.
So instead of dodging, Ena lunged forward and swung her sword with air-splitting speed.
The slash released divine power with trendous destructive force and could absorb magic energy. Not only did it block, it reduced the damage to her as much as possible.
*BOOM!*
The impact of the attacks they unleashed created a shockwave that flattened the surrounding grass. When the dust was still raised into the air, Erica ran forward and attacked again from close range.
"Not bad. But don't just rely on your sword power, what about your sword skills?"
Ena jumped back and tried to block each of Erica's slashes. Her movents were faster than hers, she was a little overwheld and angered by her words.
Divine power flowing more profusely into her body, she decided to strengthen her physical strength many tis over.
Her speed and strength increased. Ena didn't realize it, but her eyes flashed purple-and black spots appeared on her skin. It was a sign that Kusanagi no Tsurugi's divine power was starting to affect her mind.
She was slightly possessed.
It was a side effect of overusing a sword once used by a Heretic God.
Ena knew this, but she thought she could end the fight before her condition worsened.
However, she still underestimated Erica too much! Her magic power had also increased and continued to rival her speed.
Ena gritted her teeth.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!*
Every slash the two won released cut through everything around and created an explosion.
Erica in the original work would've been defeated by Ena in no ti. But in this life, she was able to suppress Ena.
She imdiately cast a high-level spell to summon dozens of magic swords that rained down from the sky like rain.
Ena swung her sword into the air, a purple barrier enveloping her and blocking any attacks for her.
But soon, her barrier was broken by a direct slash from Erica and she could not dodge the attack to her abdon.
*Bang!*
With a single kick, Erica sent Ena flying until she crashed into the trees and crushed them with her back.
"Kugh!"
Ena groaned in pain, blood dripped from her mouth and she struggled to stand up. She looked at the blonde woman who was only slightly panting in front of her with great anger.
Her mind was in turmoil that she could not resist using her strongest move.
Although it was very risky, as long as she could defeat the woman in front of her...
"You still don't want to give up and want to keep trying? Sure, let's see what else you've got."
Erica provoked the black-haired woman.
Ena was a little hesitant at first, but Erica's words managed to take away her remaining patience.
"A no murakumo tsurugi, I pray that you accept my body as an offering, because even a fierce god cannot cross your borders. I will not regret it as long as I win."
She chanted the divine possession spell and deliberately allowed herself to be possessed.
"Are you crazy, Ena Seishuuin!?"
Hearing every must of what Ena said, Erica roughly knew what she wanted to do.
That was crazy.
They were just fighting to prove who was like to be Eiji's first wife in this world.
But that woman was too much.
The ground beneath Ena's feet cracked like a spider web, a dark divine power enveloping her body to change her appearance.
Her eyes shone brightly with purple light, but her gaze was blank. One of her hands was covered in so kind of silver armor and her clothes turned into a black bodysuit.
With teleportation-like speed, she appeared right in front of Erica and swung her sword.
Erica's pupils shrank, she tried to block the attack and regretted it slightly.
*Boom!*
The collision of their swords blew the ground beneath their feet to smithereens.
Erica was almost brought to her knees by Ena's current strength, she gritted her teeth and did not want to lose. She unleashed her magic power with all her might and managed to push her opponent back.
Without hesitation, she slashed at Ena's chest until blood splashed into the air.
Ena staggered back, her gaze still blank but she suddenly scread.
"Aaahhhh!!"
A greater divine power exploded from her body, her black bodysuit easily blended with her skin and extended to cover her face.
Her beautiful appearance turned terrifying.
An extrely strong wind blew from her, the sky rumbling as if a storm was about to co.
Erica wore a horrified expression.
"It's over. Her body was taken over by Susanoo's divine power. To stop her..."
She probably had no other choice to kill Ena.
Should she do it?
She was at a loss.
But just then, a familiar male voice suddenly sounded.
"Ena, don't worry. I'll save you!"
It wasn't Eiji, but...
Erica turned her head and was surprised to see Godou jumping from the bushes in the distance.
"Godou Kusanagi, what do you want to do!?"
She had a bad feeling. That man seed to want to take advantage of this opportunity to do a hero save the beauty!
What Erica thought was not wrong. Godou's plan was to save Ena from the divine possession she had experienced, just as he rembered in the other tiline and made her indebted to the point that she fell in love with him.
That was why he had kept watching since the fight started and waited for the right ti to erge as the hero.
The good news was that Eiji was not even there.
Godou was excited, he was confident that he could counterattack and make Ena his woman.
He ignored Erica and Campione's aura flowed through his body. With one of his authorities, he approached Ena with lightning speed and tried to defeat her before she turned into a monster.
But Ena did not remain silent, she fought back and tried to kill him. Even so, Godou was confident and thought he could defeat her.
The two began a brutal and fierce lee battle. Godou used his fists, Ena swung her sword. The shockwaves constantly created by them made it difficult for Erica to get close.
"That man...! I can't let whatever plan he has succeed..."
She muttered in annoyance.
Suddenly, an arm grabbed her shoulder and another voice she recognized rang out.
"Erica, you're doing well. Don't push yourself any further. For now, let's watch."
It was Eiji, he suddenly appeared beside Erica. He didn't co alone, there were also Liliana and Yuri behind.
"Eiji? I'm glad you ca, but why are we just watching?"
Erica widened her eyes when she saw the handso face of her king, but she was confused by what he said.
Wasn't in this situation, he should stop what Godou was doing?
Eiji did not answer and smiled mysteriously.
Erica didn't know, but before coming here, he had gone to the Netherworld first.
Back to the mont he was referring to.
At the cafe near the school.
"Eiji-san, is it okay to let Erica-san go see Ena alone? They'll probably fight each other." Yuri said anxiously. There was a sigh in her voice, because right now; sitting in front of her, Eiji was drinking a milkshake.
Beside him, Liliana was also shyly feeding him fries under the pretext that as a knight, she had to serve her king.
Yuri was sure Liliana just wanted to take advantage of Erica's absence to make out with Eiji!
The scene in front of her irritated her.
"They will indeed fight. But if it's Erica now, we don't have to worry, she'll win." Eiji was very confident in Erica's power.
Yuri and Liliana didn't expect it. The latter was a little jealous, she too wanted to be trusted that much by her king!
[Of course, it wasn't for no reason that I knew Erica and Ena would fight each other. In the original work, the sa thing happened.]
[And the result was that Erica lost. As a Grand Knight, her sword skills surpassed Ena. But in the battle of strength, Ena won because her sword, Kusanagi no Tsurugi, could give her divine power at the risk of divine possession.]
[In the original work, Erica was defeated by Ena who had been possessed by divine power and turned into a monster.]
[But in this life it's different. According to my calculations, as long as Ena hasn't beco a monster, Erica can still defeat her as long as she is serious. The buff from the Master-Servant contract is not just a display, okay?]
[Making love with can make any woman stronger.]
Many heroines couldn't argue with that last part. Because of that, they were also more infatuated with him.
Liliana just found out about the Master-Servant contract. She also wanted to beco stronger like Erica, her cheeks flushed slightly and she wondered if she should too... Ahem!
"Liliana, do you have a fever? Your face is a little red." Eiji said clichéd words like the dense protagonists.
"I-I'm fine, Eiji. It's just... It's a little hot in here." Liliana clumsily fanned her face with her hands.
Eiji chuckled. After all, the air conditioner in the room was on and the temperature around was quite cool. Liliana was obviously lying because she was too embarrassed to say what she was thinking.
Yuri rolled her eyes, and began to worry about Ena after knowing what happened in the original work.
"Eiji-san, Ena is my childhood friend. If possible, I also don't want her to be possessed until she turns into a monster."
"Yuri, you know the side effects of using Kusanagi no Tsurugi?"
"Y-Yes, Ena told about that in the past."
As Hi-Miko, she was lying!
Yuri felt a little guilty, but she also couldn't say that she knew that information from Eiji's inner voice.
Before Eiji was about to agree to help Ena early so he could shoot two birds with one stone.
He felt sothing.
Under everyone's gaze, he stood up and walked to the side of the table where a portal suddenly appeared under his feet. Actually, if not for his magic control that could even control other people's teleportation magic, he would not have had the choice to be forcibly transported to another place.
"You two, wait here. There's soone who wants to see . I'll see him for a while. After that, we'll go to where Erica and Ena are fighting."
Liliana and Yuri were stunned.
They were speechless because the next second, Eiji sank into the portal beneath his feet.
...
In the Netherworld that existed in the Campione universe.
This ti, Eiji had co to that place at the invitation of soone other than Pandora. He stood in front of the old-looking Tarsisius Japanese-style house.
Without hesitation, he walked in and found a gray-haired old man with brown eyes who seed to be waiting for him while sitting down.
"Welco to my humble abode, Eiji Seiya. You are indeed different from the other Campione, perhaps it is because you are also a God from another universe. Hahaha!"
The old man greeted Eiji and laughed.
Eiji sat on the tatami like him and folded his hands, "You're the one who invited here? You'd better have a good reason for doing so."
The old man stopped laughing and said, "As I suspected, you are similar to the King of the End. You two are both anomalies."
He continued with self-introduction, "By the way, my na is Susanoo. Just call old man. I actually wanted to forcibly transfer you to my residence, but you're stronger than I thought."
He realized how Eiji controlled his own teleportation portal.
"And the reason I called you here... Actually, I just wanted to see you in person. Especially since Ena has agreed to be betrothed to you at my request. That girl calls grandfather even though we are not related by blood. As her grandfather, I thought I should also see how good her future husband is."
Eiji didn't change his expression, but he was rembering who the King of the End was that Susanoo was talking about, a God who had been banished to the Underworld.
The one who did that to him was the King of the End. The person with that title was actually the hero who took over the God Slayer's extermination fate.
That said, he would be resurrected every ti the God Slayers/Demon Kings were born and gathered to annihilate them all at once.
He did so in order to restore peace in the world.
He was a true hero to mankind, but the greatest enemy to the Campione and the Heretic God.
When the King of the End awakens from his slumber, he will annihilate anything that disturbs the peace of the world.
With such power... Eiji understood why Susanoo equated him with the person who had banished him to a slum like this.
But, Susanoo clearly didn't know how small the King of the End was compared to him.
"Change of plan."
"?" Susanoo was confused by what Eiji ant.
He suddenly froze and felt a fear that surpassed the mont he t the King of the End.
Especially when his gaze t a pair of golden eyes that slowly gave rise to a pattern of ripple patterns and nine tomoe.
Eiji activated his Rinne Sharingan and used a god-level genjutsu that surpassed Kotoamatsukami. It was a Shinjutsu called...
"Omnipotence."
This technique is not a standard Rinnegan technique, but the pure power of an Otsutsuki "God" like Shibai Otsutsuki which was later passed on to a beautiful woman nad Eida through Amado's modification in the Boruto series (a follow-up story to Naruto).
Eiji was a little excited to try it just because he got the idea to bully the protagonist Godou.
Unlike Genjutsu which only deceives the five senses, Omnipotence is basically the ability to manipulate mory on a global scale. It can rewrite history in people's mories.
So instead of just Susanoo, Eiji had used it on almost everyone in the world of Campione (except his won and the protagonist Godou).
As for what details he changed in the mories of many people?
That would be revealed soon.
