Overgeared

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

The repercussions were huge. There was a lot of opposition to Grid, who asked Chiyou for a fair exchange of blows.

“The opponent is Chiyou. It is nothing but arrogance to handle him alone, no matter how you are.”

Zeratul and Dominion were the main ones. They criticized Grid before anyone else could say anything. It wasn’t because they were worried about Grid’s safety. They feared that Chiyou would swallow Grid and become even more powerful.

“You don’t deserve to give Grid your opinion.”

“......!”

The sword that Chiyou wielded blew away Dominion’s entire body, along with his spear. The shockwave was enormous.

Grid took a few steps back. Zeratul, who was near Dominion, couldn’t back away and fell.

“Such a disgrace to me...” Zeratul sat down and gritted his teeth. However, he didn’t dare to glare at Chiyou.

The Martial God who had revealed his true body. He was completely different, but also similar to Rebecca, the Goddess of Light. The Goddess made others bow to her with warm benevolence, while Chiyou made them bow with overwhelming force.

Zeratul was ashamed. He wanted to erase from his memory the entire time he had been living as the Martial God.

“It is unsightly.” Grid’s voice was heard. They were cooperating now, but they were obviously enemies. It was even the one Zeratul hated the most. However, Zeratul knew the fact that countless beings had been fascinated by him, regardless of species, status, or inclination.

‘You... what sweet words are you going to whisper?’

At this point, Grid must be trying to appease him to make him an ally. Zeratul expected the obvious development. Zeratul thought Grid would comfort him with his tongue and dazzle him. Yes, he knew it was obvious, but he kept his ears open and waited. It was a moment when even the smallest comfort was too much.

Now he had realized the gap with Chiyou. It was hard for him to stay sane. He was on the verge of collapse due to facing the truth that he had been ignoring. He wanted to rely on someone else, no matter who it was.

Grid grinned at Zeratul, who was inwardly looking forward to it. “It is funny to see you, who always acts like you are the best, become frustrated after meeting the real thing. Should I be glad that you have admitted that you are nothing but a fake and have become humble?”

“...You!” An emotional Zeratul jumped up. His two legs, which had been relaxed, stood up again. He stood up again just before his pride, which had been honed by ignoring the truth, was crushed.

“That is how you should be, Zeratul.” Grid chuckled. He felt more at ease that he paid back a bit of what Zeratul had done for him in the Prison of Eternity. He felt like he could focus more on the confrontation.

“I’m sorry.”

It was after the disturbance was over. Grid faced Chiyou again, only to hear unexpected words. An apology flowed out of Chiyou’s mouth.

“I know that my obsession with my selfish wish has put many people, including you, in a difficult position.”

Chiyou withdrew his sword. The sword that had been used so far was placed back in the dark sheath held in his left hand. Was he finally coming to his senses and stopping the fight? It happened as people were looking forward to it...

Chiyou tightened his grip on the hand holding the sheath. Then the dark-colored sheath that smashed Asura’s skull like tofu was flattened entirely along with the sword that had received Dominion’s spear hundreds of times. The Martial God revealed his true nature and treated even the most treasured sword as worthless.

Jingle.

Chiyou’s dopo fluttered and a new sword appeared. No, it wasn’t suitable to be called a sword. It was more like a club, a long, thin club made of pure metal. It was bumpy and coarse.
