The Heavenly Demon Asserts Her Claim
While we were eating earlier, the other “me” inside my head—the Heavenly Demon, Kim Ga-eul—had informed me. That Bathory Hosa might soon be coming to our house.
Upon hearing that, it all came back to me. If it was Bathory, she could easily learn our home address with help from the vampires who ruled this country. And if so, she could storm our house at any moment.
I nearly panicked, but then the Heavenly Demon “me” spoke inside my head.
……Yeah. It’ll be fine, right? For now, I’ll just pretend nothing’s wrong. I can’t let Ga-eul see me flustered.
When I’d heard that Rebecca had set up a barrier, I’d wondered if maybe Bathory wouldn’t be able to find us after all…
Thud.
Thud.
Crack.
That definitely sounded like the barrier breaking…
Boom!
“Autumn!”
Ah. Of course it’s Bathory. She’d come.
And so Bathory had come face to face with Rebecca, and the two of them were now locked in confrontation.
What? Our male Ga-eul is your husband? That was nothing more than an event inside our delusion. In the first place, you have no connection to Ga-eul at all!
Ga-eul is not the Aki you know! You have no relationship with Ga-eul either!
Bathory and Rebecca were fighting over who had the closer relationship with Ga-eul.
As their emotions grew heated, both of them seemed to be raising their power. The vibrations shaking the area were proof enough.
In the first place, all of you are beings born from delusion! Ga-eul has no relationship with any of you!
But I didn’t have the courage to step between them and say it. The two of them were quite literally the strongest existences in this world right now.
If I foolishly got in the middle and provoked them, there wouldn’t even be bones left to gather.
Ga-eul is mine… How dare mere creations…
The other “me,” the Heavenly Demon inside my head, spoke to me.
Then what am I supposed to do! You know better than anyone how powerful those two are! With a body that’s basically that of a normal person right now, I can’t do anything in the middle of them!
Ah…… That’s right.
Right now my body possessed the weakened abilities of the protagonist from The Strongest Woman on Earth, making me practically immune to all damage. I wasn’t sure whether it would work against those divine beings, but at least I wouldn’t die if I stepped between them!
How dare they.
Covet my Ga-eul?
I walked out between Bathory and Rebecca.
“Seriously. Both of you—Bathory and Rebecca—are getting way ahead of yourselves.”
Gasp. I said it out loud.
This is terrifying.
Is it really okay to say something like that in front of them?
Hey. Heavenly Demon Kim Ga-eul. You do have a plan, right? You didn’t just make me start this without any countermeasures, did you?
The Heavenly Demon “me” inside my head let out a small laugh.
What? Borrow my body?
After hearing the other Heavenly Demon “me,” my body stopped obeying my will.
What is this? I can still feel every sensation?
It was like watching a movie through a VR headset—my field of vision played like footage. Yet my body moved against my intentions.
Ah. My body’s been taken over. I can get it back later, right?
Eh? For real?
Thud!
The moment the other “me” finished speaking, an overwhelmingly black energy erupted from my body and swallowed the surroundings in darkness.
“Female Autumn? Kk.”
“Female Master? Ugh.”
Then, as if some immense force were pressing down on them, both Bathory and Rebecca were driven to their knees.
Whoa, insane. This is “my” power? It’s ridiculously strong! She really trained properly for fifty thousand years! Completely overpowering both of them! With this kind of strength, it’s possible!
What the hell.
No way—did she just do that?
This is crazy.
The other “me” is monstrously strong!
How can the other “me” be that powerful! And what’s with the sudden “This seat” way of talking? Why did her speech change like that?
Come to think of it, yesterday it said the status window had appeared, right? As our delusions became reality, we must have gained some kind of ability from it!
Then maybe I have one too?
Did a status window appear for me as well?
What on earth is the female Ga-eul saying?
Ah. So she’s saying that only the two of us know the truth—that all of this is delusion?
Well, no matter that it’s another “me,” there’s no way she would like me. How could anyone like themselves? I got my hopes up for a second without realizing it.
Rumble.
“Ugh.”
“Kyaaak.”
When the female Ga-eul raised her right hand and clenched it, the black energy took the shape of two giant hands and seized Rebecca and Bathory’s bodies.
“With something like this… I can’t put any strength into my body…?”
“This is impossible. Even with my power restricted, to be neutralized to this degree?”
Wow, what is this? How did she suppress both of them?
“Whoa. Sis is seriously OP.”
Gyeoul said. Wait, Gyeoul, aren’t you a little too calm? Even though your sister suddenly became that strong.
Ah, right—Gyeoul doesn’t know how powerful Rebecca and Bathory actually are. They’ve never used their full strength in front of her.
What on earth is she talking about? Legal wife?
Boom!
When the female Ga-eul took one step forward, the heavens and earth trembled as though an earthquake had struck, and the dark energy blanketing the area grew even thicker.
“Kk. To think I would…”
“Uuuuugh… I absolutely cannot allow this…”
Rebecca and Bathory began raising their power in earnest.
Ugh. What do I do… The other “me” is doing this for my sake, but if things continue like this, one of them—Rebecca or Bathory—might end up dead or injured.
Even if they originated from delusion, they’re beings I created. I don’t want them to get hurt. Besides, if they fight seriously, this entire place looks like it’ll be destroyed.
I have to stop their fight somehow. It seems I need to step in after all. Hoo… right between those terrifying girls. Screw it.
“Wait! Everyone, stop!”
The moment I jumped in and shouted, all those mighty divine beings turned their eyes toward me.
Whoa.
It’s terrifying.
Still, I’m the only one who can stop their fight.
Let’s do this.
