Chapter 427 - Finding The Chaos Gate Agents!
-----
Although the conflict between Oni and Monks had come to an end, a rather peaceful and unexpected one, the conflict between Frank's forces and the organization behind this which had also employed Shinji into everything wasn't over yet!
Indeed!
Frank learned everything by seeing Shinji's soul memories, and so did Sadako when she ate his soul and got his memories, alongside a sudden new affinity with Spatial Magic!
"So that bastard was paid by Chaos Gate?! I can't believe it… And I saw him as such a loyal subordinate…" sighed Sadako.
"You were quite deceived…" said Frank.
"I know… I can't believe how stupid I've been…" said Sadako.
"Well, it wasn't just that. He had used a special tool to make his lies more believable, well, the artifact was already destroyed." Said Frank.
Indeed, Shinji had colluded with Chaos Gate from the very beginning! This was all an elaborate rouse to make the Onis fight the Monks, and after the whole fight, Chaos Gate had planned to strike and destroy the Monk Clan, assimilating their members, devouring the demigoddess powers, and stealing the treasures!
.
Chaos Gate had given Shinji a special artifact named Illusion Dream Ring, a special item which Vritra destroyed accidentally, it had the power of making Shinji's lies become believable, a little bit.
Shinji was already naturally a good talker and was easily able to manipulate others even without this tool, but after acquiring it, he was even able to deceive and manipulate Sadako into doing something that she was now regretting severely.
"So the one moving the strings behind everything were Chaos Gate… Damned worshipers of Chaos! Have they been planning to take down the Clan this whole time?! I can't believe it… And if it wasn't because of Frank… We would have fallen directly into their trap…" sighed Kaguya.
"Indeed, it is just like that… Damn it! Where are they? Did they escape?" asked Sadako.
Frank, however, was already detecting them and looking over them.
"No. They still believe that we are fighting to the death… After all, not even ten minutes have passed since everything started in the outside world. I had used my powers to create a time dilation in the entire domain of the clan, time goes faster here, therefore, outside not even two minutes have passed… We can catch them by surprise, trap them, and kill them!" said Frank.
Sadako's admiration for Frank's resourcefulness grew bigger as her eyes shone with inspiration.
"Let me help you then!" she said.
"Sadako-chan… The Chaos Gate members are incredibly strong! You can't go alone… Haven't you heard? They had even been able to defeat Demigods from other clans…" sighed Kaguya.
"Then you come with me, mom!" said Sadako, with a fiery smile.
"Sadako-chan… Okay, we'll do it together!" said Kaguya.
"That's a good spirit. Now… Selcis, Vritra, I need you to give me a favor…" said Frank.
"Oh? What is it?"
Frank quickly created a powerful Soul Clone infused with a piece of his Space and Time Divinity and used it to travel into the spatial layers with Selcis and Vritra, reaching the two agents of the Chaos Gate that were overlooking things from afar through spatial layers.
Frank had made sure to use several Stealth related skills with everyone, and quickly settled up a Domain before their very noses!
"It's ready." Said Frank.
"Shall we all go?" asked Gwendolyn.
"Alright, we'll gang on them. But you girls attack from a distance, my Fate Armor and Fate Barriers should shield you if anything happens." Said Frank.
Frank and his group quickly moved into action, leaving behind Matsuo and the other Oni and Clan Members behind, of course, he had let a large army of Undead here protecting them, alongside Cathyl, Vheslia, Clishya, Annabelle, Asterion, and Hilvera.
Meanwhile, within the sky above the Monk Clan, two small figures glanced below, both were wearing black suits and black glasses. One resembled a young man with short brown hair and tired aquamarine eyes, and the other was a small boy with purple hair and black eyes.
The two looked over the Monk Clan's territory with aloof eyes. The man with brown hair sighed.
"Hm, I don't know but I have a bad feeling about this…" he yawned.
"Bad feeling? There are no such thing as bad feelings. If things were planned accordingly to our masters, things should go accordingly to our masters. We have already taken down some powerful Clans, and we had already assimilated their forces… What there is to be concerned about? You seem to lack faith for our masters, Kazugo…" said the boy with purple hair and black eyes.
"Just chill out for once, Yuu… I am just bored, that's all. I barely managed to sleep last night…" sighed Kazugo.
"Lack of sleep should not be a problem for an agent of the Chaos Gate…" said Yuu.
"You're really like a robot, aren't you?" asked Kazugo.
"Robot? I am not a robot, but a Homunculus. It is different." Said Yuu.
"A flesh robot but the same- Eh?"
FLAAAASH!
Suddenly, the two were trapped inside a domain!
Yuu and Kazugo got alarmed, as they were shocked!
How could they had not felt it?
And who was even capable of manipulating space to such an extent?
"This is not a mere domain…"
"Indeed, this is strange. Space and time are being manipulated… this power… a Demigod of space and time?!"
The two agents quickly readied their powers, as Kazugo took out a large and flashing Katana, which began to exude a colorful aura, his entire body began to gather this energy as it enhanced itself to unprecedented levels!
And Yuu simply activated his talent, his soul began to exude pure darkness and purple colors from within its interior, as his eyes began to release a purple-colored aura. Two large bat-like wings surged behind him, and so a pointy tail, alongside two small black horns…
"Oh, you're strong, aren't you?"
Frank emerged right before them through teleportation, smiling at them rather confidently.
The two felt his enormous power, which Frank wasn't containing anymore, and felt shocked!
TRUUUMMM!
"T-This… is not a mere demigod…"
"How can this simple-looking kid be even stronger than a Demigod?!"
