I Reincarnated As A Stick

Chapter 104: Calm Before The Storm

Chapter 104: Calm Before The Storm

Celestial Plane, Chad’s Palace.

Kurohana could not help but have a serious expression on her face once she realized the whole scheme of things. The reason why Nix chose this mission, why she was the one who was going to do it, all of it now made sense to her.

Slightly chuckling, she muttered to herself, “If the Demons will come back to try and capture the Celestial Plane again, then I won’t hesitate killing them all again!” As she said this, a faint killing intent started to suffuse out of her currently masculine body, which she hastily concealed not long after.

To many of the Greater Gods, one would not remember the incident that almost killed off all of the Lesser Gods millions of years ago, the Lesser Divine War. The only Greater Gods that do remember it are those who have witnessed the war, fought against the Demons and found ways to push the Demons back. Amongst them, Nix and Kurohana were those who fought against them. The current Lesser Gods did not even know of such a war happening, since most of them became Lesser Gods around five hundred thousand years ago.

“Hinari and Hodazuka are the two gods that cast the seal on you, right?” Kurohana looked at the shocked Chad and asked.

“From the signs you gave me, it could only be the two of them,” Chad muttered in reply as he could not still believe it. “To think that those two kind gods…corrupted by a Primordial Sin…”

“Haaa…” Hearing these words come out of Chad’s mouth, Kurohana could not help but sigh. “Let me remove the seals on you first before we do anything else later. Let us ease your pain for a bit,” Kurohana said as she asked Chad to lie down on the ground, to which Chad had no qualms.

Looking down at Chad’s body that lied flat on the ground, Kurohana started to mutter a few incantations as she raised both hands towards the sky, absorbing the mana in the surroundings as a magic circle the size of half of Chad’s island appeared tens of meters above Kurohana’s palms.

The magic circle she was conjuring was an unsealing spell crafted by the Lesser Gods back then to combat against the Demonic Seals casted by the Demons. As for its name and level of magic…

“7th Divine Circle. Infiniaris Monstratus Eradicae.”

“Unshackled Nihility.”

Whoosh!

After finishing the spell, multiple motes of black light started to form around the boundaries of the magic circle before coalescing into a spear that seemed to destroy the skies and the earth with one blow.

Sensing the power that the spear emanated, Chad could not help but break out into a cold sweat as he looked at Kurohana, asking, “Is this…safe?”

“Definitely safe,” Kurohana looked at Chad and smiled. “This is just an incorporeal spear, aimed to destroy the Demonic Seals inside your body through the help of a small part of the Transcendent Canon of Nihility.”

“The Transcendent Canons…” Chad could not help but gulp his saliva after hearing the utterance of this phrase. To him, Transcendent Canons were the laws that truly governed the universe, even stronger than the Immortal Verdicts!

“Since you say so, Kurohana, then I have truly no qualms at this point.” Chad decided to accept what Kurohana was going to do. If it hurt, then he would bear with it, to remove a long-lasting pain for a short bout of extreme pain, it’s definitely worth it!

Whoosh!

Manipulating the spear of nihility towards Chad’s nether regions, where the Demonic Seals were, the particles that made up the spear started to separate inside his body, locating the Demonic Seals in an instant and concentrating towards them once they found out where it lied.

Rrrrrr…

Not long after aiming the spear towards Chad’s nether regions, the soft sound of waves rumbling could be heard coming from Chad’s body as his complexion that was previously pale, gradually regained its original luster while his body that was previously tense, gradually relaxed as well.

Through the use of her consciousness, Kurohana could see that the Seals were being broken down at a greater speed thanks to the power of her laws. Around a minute later, the Seals were finally destroyed by the particles of nihility, with the particles dissipating not long after as well.

“The Seals are now gone,” Kurohana said to Chad. After Chad heard this, he stood up and felt that his body was better than before, he felt like he could do anything at this moment.

Feeling up his body from head to toe, Chad could not help but mutter out of disbelief, “What the…my problem is gone…it’s gone!”

Chad could not help but look at Kurohana with awe as he said, “You’re truly a life saver! Thank you for solving my problem, Kurohana!”

“Not a problem at all,” Kurohana waved her hands as she lightly smiled. “Anyways, could you tell me more about Hinari and Hodazuka? All I know is that Hinari is the Lesser Goddess of the Moon, and Hodazuka is the Lesser God of the Sun. I might find out more about the reasons why the Demons chose them as their first gods to possess.”

Although Chad was not a Lesser God that fought against the Demons, he still knew how cruel the Demons were from reading multiple excerpts of the Demons from the Divine Library. Chad knew that telling Kurohana about the two of them would definitely push the Demons back to whence they came, allowing the Celestial Plane to live in peace.

“Alright, I’ll tell you all I know,” Chad replied with a solemn expression on his face as he nodded. “In fact, Hinari and Hodazuka came from the same planet, Earth, which is extremely small. To think that a small planet like this would birth two Lesser Gods is nothing short of a miracle. Let us start with Hinari…”

Hours later, Chad was finally finished explaining the backstories of both Hinari and Hodazuka, which somewhat expanded Kurohana’s horizons a bit.

“And that’s all I know about them,” Chad said as the end of his explanation.

Kurohana nodded and thanked Chad. “Thank you for taking your time to explain both Hinari and Hodazuka’s lives. Your contribution will definitely not go to waste.”

“No, no, no. I must thank you instead for curing me of my problem.” Chad waved his hands as he smiled while replying. “As for the reward, I won’t dare be stingy with it since it had something to do with the Demons. I’ll be increasing the reward from 20 God Sparks to 50 God Sparks.”

Hearing that the reward was increased by almost 3 times made Kurohana happy, but then she remembered the fact that this mission was a punishment mission, reducing her excited state back to a neutral one.

“If there’s nothing else, I shall be going then,” Kurohana said after Chad was finished talking. She also started to hover off the ground at this point.

“Go ahead, you have to report this anyway,” Chad smiled as he waved goodbye towards Kurohana who was already leaving his island.

Kurohana nodded back to Chad’s reply as she accelerated towards her maximum speed, heading back to the Hall of Greater Divinity.

Whoosh!

In an instant, no trace of Kurohana was left behind on Chad’s Palace.

Taking another hour to head back to the Hall of Greater Divinity, Kurohana was greeted by Nix at the entrance of the hall, prompting her to bow towards Nix as she reverted back to her previous expression.

“Greetings Hallmaster,” Kurohana greeted.

“Welcome back Kurohana,” Nix smiled. She then gestured towards Kurohana to follow her as she turned around. “Follow me.”

Sensing that there was no malicious intent in Nix’s words, Kurohana replied with a succinct “Yes” before following Nix from behind. Due to them both being Greater Gods, they both moved quite quickly through the hall, only taking a few minutes to arrive at a secluded place.

Once they arrived at this secluded place, Kurohana could not help but blurt out, “Hallmaster, isn’t this your room?”

“What about it?” Nix smiled as she looked at Kurohana. “Anyways, feel free to call me Nix. We’re both victims of the Lesser Divine War anyway.”

“The Lesser Divine War…” Hearing this phrase come out of Nix’s mouth, Kurohana’s vigilance towards Nix slightly relaxed as she stammered, “N-N-Nix…”

“Yes?” Feeling that Kurohana having trouble saying her name was cute, Nix could not help but chuckle.

“Are the Demons truly coming back to take over the Celestial Plane?”

“What do you think?” Nix’s smile slightly subsided, gradually being replaced with a serious expression. Nonetheless, her tone was still a bit cheerful.

“From the mission I’ve taken, I’ve realized that not only one Depraved Deity has been created…but two!”

“What? Impossible.” Hearing that two Depraved Deities were created instead of one like her expectations, Nix could not help but become shocked.

“I checked Chad’s body and noticed that two Demonic Seals were placed. How could a single Depraved Deity cast two Demonic Seals? If they were True Demon Gods, then it would be more plausible,” Kurohana refuted Nix’s statement.

“It seems that this problem is worse than I thought,” Nix could not help but frown after feeling that Kurohana’s words made sense. She thought of a something for a bit, but then dismissed it afterwards as she sighed.

“You know what, if you want to help with this problem, I have no problem with it. If you don’t want to help, I have no problem with that as well,” Nix looked at Kurohana for a bit before opening her mouth. “Anyways, according to Phatia, once you finish this mission, your punishment is now over.”

“As for your reward…” Nix waved her fingers for a bit as she looked at the new reward with slight surprise. “Since the mission Phatia gave you needed to net out 20 God Sparks, we shall only retrieve 20 God Sparks from the mission, the extra God Sparks shall be yours.”

With a snap of her fingers, 30 motes of purple light appeared in front of Kurohana’s field of vision, which then surged towards her brain, increasing the amount of God Sparks she held by 30…through some weird means.

“With your punishment now over, you can now go back to your space,” Nix sat down on the chair behind her desk as she pulled out a piece of paper, writing words on it as she thought of how she was going to report this. “Please do consider helping me out on this one, only 10 of us have experience killing Demons…other than the Wielders and Overseers anyway.”

“Don’t worry,” Kurohana replied to appease Nix’s emotions. “Once I get back, I’ll send a part of my body to help you out. I just can’t go out with my full power since I’m still nurturing a future Evolving weapon.”

“An Evolving weapon?” Nix could not help but look at Kurohana with wonder. “As expected of the most famous craftswoman throughout the Celestial Plane. Alright, I won’t send you off. Go.”

As Nix waved her hands, Kurohana bowed respectfully towards Nix before leaving the Hall of Greater Divinity, heading back to her palace.

“I wonder what happened to Aurus while I was gone.”
