  I’m going to complain .

  Meanwhile, Kamiya Yato was confronting Akuya, a man hiding in a dark alley was observing people passing by .

  “No good, that one too is no good…… hmm, not sure……”


  The hatred god, Germa, was looking at people and muttering to himself as if he was evaluating them .

  When he eventually got tired, he leaned on a wall and let out a deep sigh .

  “I can’t find any good place to rest in . Maybe it’s because the humans of this world are originally not inclined to hatred . My wound will take longer to recover at this rate . ”


  Contemplating the situation, Germa folded his arms and placed his hand on his chin .

  Germa’s power as a hatred god is to make use the hatred of anything alive and change it to his own strength . He can supply his powers by possessing the other party .

  “The standard level of civilization in this world is too high . I can’t recover in such a place . ”


  Germa said with a displeased mood .

  Of course, he can still supply his hatred without possessing anyone . After all, every living creature harbors the emotion of hate .

  It is something common between all the existing worlds .

  However, because of this world’s developed culture, the amount of hatred in it is considerably low comparing it with the other worlds .

  Knowing that well, Germa blamed his bad luck for being there .

  “I shouldn’t have teleported arbitrarily……”


  His face was not visible because of the mask he was wearing, but it was still clear that he was making a bitter expression . Germa casted his sight downwards .

  He already thought about collecting all the hatred emotion in the city, but the severe wound he received in his last battle didn’t allow that .

  If I attack, angles will surely find me .

  I can’t win against them in my current state .

  I need to think of another method .

  Finally deciding on what to do, Germa raised his head, seeming to be hesitating .

  “Let’s try possessing someone . ”


  Even if it doesn’t result in a sufficient amount of hatred, Possessing someone was still going to considerably raise his powers .

  Having a short amount of hatred will make recovery slower, but it is still better than doing nothing .

  “I won’t let you that!”


  A voice came up from nowhere .

  Startled by the sudden voice, Germa looked around searching for its origin to find out that it was an angel behind him .

  “I finally found you, hatred god . Though you’re not a god anymore . ”


  Lina said at the same time she landed down .

  Realising that the voice came from the angel, Germa felt slightly relieved .

  “It’s just an angel . I felt a cold chill for a moment thinking it could be that women aiming at me . ”


  Germa said while looking down at Lina .

  But Lina didn’t react to his words and continued .

  “Following Metron-sama’s order, I shall arrest you and even crush you if you don’t surrender . ”


  Lina declared to Germa .

  Of course, Germa replied with a sneer to her advice and talked .

  “I’m being underestimated here . Even if I’m bearing a severe wound, there’s no way I’d be weaker than a single angel . ”


  What Germa said was correct .

  A god is an existence standing on the summit of the world and manage them .

  Their average level is 300 with 250 as a minimum . Someone with such a level is overwhelmingly strong and Germa is no exception as well .

  On the other and, Lina’s level barely crosses 100 with her transformation . Even if he was wounded, he still stronger than her .

  No matter how you think about it, There was no way she could normally defeat him .

  But despite that, Lina came to face him .

  Apparently, Germa was still not aware of that meaning and kept grinning .

  “If you believe that’s the case, then try defeating me . ”


  Saying that, Lina let out an ashen haze out of her hands .

  The ashen haze fell from her hands crawled on the ground then floated around her .

  Noticing that, Germa remained confident and said .

  “Hm, 【void magic】huh . Do you really think you can defeat me with that skill alone?”


  Generally, the void magic of an angel can’t manifest all it’s power with just one angel using it .

  Its true power is displayed only when it’s used by a few dozens of angels at the same time .

  But that applies only on 【void magic】and not 【void magic max】 .

  “Then try defending this . ”


  Lina manipulated all the haze surrounding her and released it at Germa .

  As composed as ever, Germa didn’t try dodging her attack, until he got wrapped inside it .

  “!!??W-What is this!?”


  Immediately noticing that something was odd, Germa started observing the ashen haze surrounding his body .

  The haze was eating away his suit and mask .

  Realizing that his being slowly annihilated, Germa groaned and fell on his knees . The mast was still hiding his face, but he was definitely confused .

  “Too bad . My void magic isn’t the same as the others . ”


  Lina replied as she looked down at Germa, fallen on his knees .

  She had made quite the effort to become an angel who serves a god .

  Because of that, her level among the other angels is on the top .

  She even upgraded her void magic skill to the maximum possible .

  She couldn’t display all her powers when she was fighting against Yato, but despite that, she was still a strong angel .

  It’s only natural for her skills to be on a different level .

  “Although, that wouldn’t be enough to defeat a former god . ”


  The ashen haze was indeed eating up his body .

  But that was still not enough .

  Their levels are way too different, after all .

  No matter how strong her maximized void magic could be, she can’t defeat a former god by just tormenting him that way .

  “I will give you a second chance . Submit!”


  Lina game Germa the chance to submit a second time, but Germa looked at her face and spoke in agony .

  “All I did was change the world following my nature . I don’t see any reason for you to arrest me . ”


  Hearing his reply, Lina didn’t change her expression, almost as if she was grasping the entire situation .

  “In that case, I’m going to kill you . ”


  Lina fluttered her wings, causing white feathers to fall from the sky . It would have been better if she could arrest him, but that was a dangerous option, as he was still a former god .

  It was very possible that he could untie his restraints and escape .

  The only option left for her is to finish him immediately .

  That was Lina’s plan .

  There was no telling when he will sneak away from her void magic .

  This was her best opportunity to attack .

  “Farewell, Germa . 【White feather judgement】 . ”


  Lina finished her words with a scream . Gemra sensed the danger of the situation and stood ready…… a few seconds later, nothing happened .

  “W-What!!? What’s going on!?”


  Lina was confused because her skill wasn’t activated . Normally, her skill should’ve been activated to annihilate Germa by now . But she forgot one thing .

  “Aah!! Noo!!?”


  That skill was already erased by Yato .

  Remembering that fact, Lina let out a hysteric scream .

  She never thought that something like that could lead her to fall in such a serious situation .

  Noticing that Lina didn’t attack him yet, Germa used that opportunity and reached out his hand .

  “I don’t understand what happened, but this is a good chance . ”


  “Ah!!?”


  The moment Lina became aware of Germa’s move, her field of vision turned completely dark .

  Bewildered by the sudden change of events, she couldn’t move .

  “I let down my guard this time, but that won’t happen anymore . Once I heal my wounds, I shall come back for revenge, don’t forget that, dear angel . ”


  “W-Wait!!”


  Surrounded by darkness, Lina tried to stop Germa by shouting, but get any reply back .

  She eventually got back her clear vision, though at that time it was already late .

  “He escaped……”


  Lina uttered to herself as she gazed at the place Germa was standing .

  She couldn’t sense his presence at all . He must have teleported somewhere .

  I never thought I could make such a serious mistake .

  Lina blamed her recklessness and at the same time……

  “Tomorrow I’m going to complain at him . ”


  She developed a feeling of wrath towards Yato .

  She knew that it was her fault for having her skill erased by him, but she still intended to complain .

  Deciding on what to do, Lina moved to think about her next battle .

  Next time I need to bring him down .

  Fired up for her next fight, Lina walked alone in the dark alley .

  —————————————————————————————-

  Bonus

  Coming back from shopping .

  Yato and Kamaishi at that time .

  “Came to think of it, what were you doing here, Kamiya-kun?”


  “I was shopping for my mom . ”


  “Is that so? Aren’t you late for going back home then? Your mom should be waiting . ”


  “That’s fine . Your situation was more important anyway . ”


  “But your mom is pretty strict when it comes to cooking . Will you really be alright?”


  “.……”


  “Kamiya-kun?”


  “.……Y-Yeah . ”


  “I don’t think I can believe your answer . Your legs are shaking . ”
