“You crossed the line, dragon.”

It was my first time hearing Stella’s tone of voice, which was cold and even cold. Actually, Akasha responded without much emotion, perhaps because she was used to it.

“It’s a dragon. Are you still going to call me that now? Now I have acquired faith on an equal footing with you.”

“If I had the right powers, I would have been able to remember your name.”

“…….”

“It’s not enough to steal other people’s faith and ascend to heaven, but to kill the god here and steal their faith….”

Anger slowly bloomed in Stella’s voice.

“I’ll make you pay…!”

I immediately took a step back. Now that Stella has started to come forward, my presence nearby will only be a hindrance.

“The price?”

Surprisingly, the first clash between Akasha and Stella was a hundred years old. It was hard to tell whether Akasha went all out from the beginning or Stella relaxed a little. Maybe it’s both.

“There were very few people who could charge me something like that to begin with. Of course, you were one of the few exceptions…”

“This is an exception without any inspiration.”

“That’s a good thing. As of this time, there will be no one there. That’s the exception!”

Even though each person’s efficiency is different, while their beliefs are balanced and clashing, Akasha is the first to draw out the power of the main body.

A fraudulent hardware that needs no further explanation, called Dragon, is heading towards Stella. Akasha’s use of physical power, which was originally blocked by faith and was essentially that of an ant, was able to work properly on Stella for the first time.

“Khaha!! …Oh?”

However, Akasha’s hand, which was so fast and threatening that it was difficult to follow with the eyes, could not reach Stella in the end. His surprise attack ended with helpless movements, as if blocked by an invisible wall.

“I guess I was so intoxicated with faith that I forgot what I originally knew.”

Akasha, who can be summed up in one word, dragon, is Akasha, but Stella is also not an ordinary being. Even if you don’t have faith, you won’t fall behind Akasha.

Because it has an innate ability to gather or disperse particles at will. She could create stars with that power, and that was a power that had nothing to do with faith.

In other words, it was initially space-scale. It was a fight with slim odds for Akasha.

‘No matter how much faith you gather, it is a power of different standards to begin with.’

This was also the reason why I scoffed at Akasha’s grand plan. My personal opinion is that it would be difficult for him to gather the faith of all gods except Stella, or even if he gathered all the faith including Stella.

Of course, unfortunately, this was also a view that could be overturned at any time. This is because all of this was created from the perspective of knowing enough about Stella and still knowing something about Akasha.

“Ah… That’s right, indeed. I forgot. The ability to have that overwhelming energy output was also a very large wall.”

In fact, Akasha, who was directly dealing with Stella, seemed more relaxed and calm than panic or fear.

“It looks like countermeasures have been prepared, right?”

“Keuhahahaha!”

At Stella’s question, Akasha laughed like crazy and returned to her original form. Magic circles large and small that were difficult to count began to appear mushrooming around the majestic body of the dark blue dragon.

“Of course!”

I got as far away from both of them as possible. This is because I could not shake off the feeling that I would be caught up in a battle in kilometers.

Sure enough, as soon as they widened the distance, a huge heat storm that was difficult to withstand with their bare bodies exploded with the two as the source, passing through various parts of their bodies.

“Magic….”

A mystery exerted through mana. Even though I have lived here for a long time, I still cannot describe magic in that way.

In any case, this so-called magic was first performed with the assistance of faith through Akasha, and the results far exceeded expectations.

A moment when I am confident that this is possible because it is a dragon, the creature that is most adept at magic and stands at the top of all living things.

Akasha succeeded in destroying the star created by Stella.

“…….”

Stella, who always refrained from showing her emotions as much as possible, could not hide her surprised face as if she could not bear it at this moment. Of course, Akasha’s mood would have been at its peak upon seeing that.

“Okay…! I’ve been waiting for this moment…! Hehe! Hahaha! I rolled over and over again for over a thousand years just to see that look!”

“You’ve done so many useless things for a long time just to see this face once. I could have shown as much as I wanted if you had just told me.”

“Huh?”

Stella quickly returned to her expressionless expression. And in return for surprising Akasha, he gave her a sun as a gift.

So, the sun.

As soon as I felt a flash before my eyes, I reflexively moved my consciousness to the lower world. It was a very strange feeling to move my consciousness unconsciously, but I survived thanks to these reflexes.

Akasha did not come. No, he wouldn’t have come. Since this would have been the first time flying into outer space, it would be impossible to react and return.

“Eugene. You’re back!”

When I moved my body, Arjen responded immediately. I asked, looking at Akasha beyond the disconnected space.

“Uh. How about Akasha?”

“I’m trying, but it’s hard… It’s so completely separated that it’s like the end of the world.”

“You mean he’s still alive and well?”

“Huh…? yes. Why, what happened?”

“You mean he’s still alive after being hit by that… Hmm…”

I was curious about how things were going, but I didn’t have the means to check. Because the faith I had to pay to watch the fight between the person who created the sun in an instant and the person who could withstand the sun was not easy.

Anyway, as long as Stella was there, it was inevitable that there would be people like me, so it would have been better for me to go with Arzen and aim for Akasha’s body in the lower world.

“Is Luv with the kids?”

“Yes. I decided to move it to a safe place. Anyway, since Rube is now in Orha’s body, he can’t become a dragon, so he has to be as careful as possible.”

“Well thought out.”

“Oh, and I also called Wayne here. It looks like he also has something he needs to resolve.”

“Hmm. Wayne also has quite a bad relationship with Akasha.”

The urgent priority is to see if there is a way to deal with Akasha before Wayne arrives. Of course, there is a very high probability that Akasha will return to the underworld before Wayne arrives.

Since there is a significant difference in the time flow between the universe and the underworld, one of two things will happen sooner or later: Akasha will either be killed by Stella or run away to the underworld.

Of course, there is an extremely low probability that the two of you could fight for days and days, but it is literally an extremely slim probability.

Akasha defeats Stella? That’s something that can’t happen.

“Because of space disconnection….”

First of all, the problem is the wall in front of you. As if the name Akasha was not in vain, it was actually a perfect magic.

Yes. Perfect magic. Arjen compared this to Prinia’s ‘End of the World’, but in fact, the two are fundamentally different from the beginning.

Prinia’s abilities are unique to the dimension of her hometown, Poina. Therefore, it is difficult to find a corner to rub even with faith, the most fundamental force in this world.

However, what Akasha unfolded was absolute magic. Even though the magic was performed by a dragon and was the most vicious and extraordinary magic of Akasha, it was a concept that could be sufficiently neutralized in front of faith.

Pass…!

“Bingo.”

A season that mixes the magic and faith that Akasha showed in front of Stella. Coincidentally, it didn’t seem like he was that talented at breaking up this space.

Slowly but surely, my faith, which contained my strong desire to reconnect the two spaces, began to infiltrate.

“Wow….”

Even Argen, who cannot sense faith, lets out a small exclamation of exclamation from the side because he can see that the space severance magic is being worn away.

“Eugene! Awesome!”

Contrary to what she said, my fiercely persecuting faith suddenly stopped.

“Ugh, Arjen. I spoke too quickly.”

Although she said this, of course it was not because of her excitement. Unfortunately, my faith was not enough. I feel like I missed checkmate right in front of my eyes. It feels like nothing is happening.

“Wow, it was a truly golden opportunity.”

Being able to infiltrate through faith might have been a meaningless weakness except at this moment. If Akasa mixes faith and magic like before, there is a high probability that it will not work.

In the end, everything comes down to Stella.

“…But are they really still fighting?”

At least ten minutes have passed. I don’t know the exact time ratio, but at this rate, Akasha is doing very well against Stella.

…Or maybe a variable occurred that I hadn’t even thought of.

“Eugene?”

Arjen, who saw my expression becoming extremely serious, called me in a worried voice.

I guess I had to go again.
