The Strongest New Michel!

I started running towards the passage, the window in hand.

The dark soil of the Demon Realm scattered behind me with each step.

“Hick! What, what is this?!”

“Who are you?!”

The Evil God followers noticed me and immediately armed themselves, assuming combat stances.

One wielded a greatsword taller than me, while another swiftly readied a bow made of black bones.

Dark energies slithered around them like living serpents, enveloping their bodies.

They look pretty tough…

Maybe I should have ambushed them instead…

No way!

What a weak thought!

Of course, the God of War would be the strongest!

Though this is my first actual fight, an overwhelming confidence surged within me.

Or rather…

It was a different kind of feeling.

My chest burned, and a thrilling sensation coursed through my body.

A desire to fight…

An overwhelming determination to win!

Yes!

This is the mindset of a true God of War!

A colossal power stirred within me, like magma erupting from a volcano.

A scorching energy enveloped my entire body, as if molten lava flowed through my veins.

With this power…

I can do anything!

“Woohoo! Come at me, you fools!”

Oh!

I unconsciously used Lycoris’s way of speaking!

But it felt so natural!

“What is this crazy bitch?!”

The archer Evil God drew his bowstring taut.

The string hummed with tension.

A black arrow began to form at his fingertips.

Zzip!

As the arrow was fired, a massive black vortex formed around it, roaring like a tornado.

The air tore apart wherever the storm passed.

If I get hit by that…

It would be terrifying!

But!

I could clearly see where the arrow would go!

The trajectory of the vortex, the path of the arrow, even the airflow!

The answer was clear…

“Whoa!”

I dove straight into the heart of the storm, beneath the arrow’s path.

The black vortex roared overhead, my hair whipping wildly in its wake.

The arrow struck the wall of the cave behind me, causing part of it to collapse.

In the end, half the cave crumbled, leaving the area exposed.

This is New Michel’s evasion skill…

“How…?!”

The archer’s eyes widened in shock.

His mouth hung open in disbelief.

Heh.

What a reaction!

His shocked face is so entertaining!

“What kind of weak attack was that? Even humans could dodge it!”

The archer, his face red with anger, gritted his teeth and shot another arrow into the sky.

The arrow soared high.

Hmm.

What’s this?

Some kind of surrender signal?

Clang!

The arrow exploded high above, scattering into hundreds of black arrowheads that rained down like flower petals.

The sky was filled with arrows, like a black rain descending upon me.

But even this was something I could clearly evade.

“Hohoho!”

I danced through the hail of arrows with nimble footwork.

I moved quickly between the arrows, using the tips of my feet to propel myself left, right, and back.

The arrows struck the ground where I had stood, embedding themselves deeply.

New Michel’s insane evasion skills…

Even I am amazed!

“What the…?!”

The archer’s face twisted in frustration.

His eyebrows furrowed, and his mouth twisted in ugliness.

He looked truly hideous!

The greatsword-wielding Evil God placed a heavy hand on his shoulder, stopping him.

“Enough.”

Mordex, the greatsword Evil God, raised his massive blade and stepped forward.

Each of his steps shook the ground.

Whoosh!

He swung his sword without warning, and I parried it with my spear.

Metal clashed with metal, sparks flying everywhere.

But the greatsword was easily deflected by my spear.

Mordex stumbled back, losing his balance.

Heh.

Is this too easy?

“You try to act intimidating but are just pathetic!”

Mordex, unfazed, expressionless, readjusted his stance and charged again.

This time, he swung his sword diagonally.

The archer, not missing the chance, fired arrows from the sides.

Hmm…

A pincer attack…

Do I need to handle both?

At that moment, blood burst forth from my spear.

The crimson blood spread through the air, forming a massive barrier.

The blood barrier blocked all the incoming arrows, which sizzled as they dissolved upon impact.

Oh!

My spear has such an ability!

I just picked it because it looked cool in the treasure trove!

It seems it really was powerful, being an Evil God’s weapon!

But why didn’t this power show up earlier?

Perhaps it has certain conditions?

Meanwhile, the black moon in the Demon Realm gradually turned red, like ink spreading across the sky.

The energy in the air grew even more potent.

Perfect!

This is my time to shine!

“A God of Heaven using blood manipulation?!”

The archer took a step back, horrified.

“What’s wrong with blood? Without blood, all living beings would die! Blood is the sacred substance that represents life!”

I declared proudly.

Wait.

Lycoris is a plant, so she doesn’t have blood…

But she, as a God, and her apostle…

Ah!

Lycoris hasn’t regained her divine power yet, which is why she’s fighting…

But now, I must end this!

“I’ll finish you in one hit!”

“Huh?”

“New Michel’s Thrust!”

Swish!

My spear pierced Mordex’s chest in an instant.

His lightning barrier was useless against me.

“Cough…!”

Black blood flowed from Mordex’s mouth.

Farewell!

“Two in a row!”

I rushed toward the archer like lightning.

Each step I took sounded like an explosion.

“Wait a second!”

The archer retreated hastily, holding up his hands.

Thud!

“Craaack!”

But my speed was too much for him, and he met his end.

“Hahaha! New Michel is the strongest!”

Too bad he didn’t get to hear my name.

Looking down at the bodies riddled with holes…

Suddenly, the horrifying scene at Bellona’s temple flashed before my eyes.

The corpses with their faces contorted in agony…

Ugh…

If you’re going to kill someone, do it cleanly like this!

I clicked my tongue.

Then, the black blood from the Evil Gods began to rise into the air, stretching like threads toward the red moon.

Wow!

Amazing!

I could feel the power within me growing even stronger.

Is New Michel’s power limitless…?!

Now I understand how Lycoris felt when she feasted on blood!

This exhilarating, euphoric sensation!

She was enjoying this all to herself!

Next time, we’ll have a blood party together!

Let’s go!

I charged into the passage with vigor.

Everything around me turned dark, as if I were floating in a starless night sky.

Then, a strange sensation overcame me, and I began to sense the unique scents and energies of the Human Realm.

This smell!

So different from the heavy, damp air of the Demon Realm!

Fresh breeze, the fragrance of nature, and something… warm!

Like sunlight embracing my entire body!

It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Human Realm!

Where should I go first?

The Sacred Kingdom’s temple, where my believers await?

Or should I go find Lycoris?

I felt excited, like I was about to embark on an adventure.

Soon, a bright light appeared in the distance.

The end of the passage.

But as I emerged, I found two more Evil Gods waiting for me.

Huh?

One wielded a long scythe, the other held a black grimoire.

Both wore black robes, their red eyes gleaming from within.

“Who are you?!”

“How can a God of Heaven-“

They were shocked to see me and raised their weapons.

Guarding the other side as well, huh?

But New Michel is more than a match for them!

The confidence from the previous battle surged through me.

These weaklings will be done in the blink of an eye!

“New Michel is war itself!”
