What?

Patty returned to the Garden of the Gods with Ryuguu from the Werewolf Village, only to hear that Kittage, who is much higher in rank than her, had been defeated.

Oh, no!　Yomi, who was sitting across from Patty, told her in a nonchalant tone of voice, "No, it's true.

Apparently, he was smashed to death by the Messiah.

Wow. ......."

They are seated at a huge oval table in front of the throne, eight seats in all.

Five of the seats, including Patty and Yomi's, are currently occupied.

But Kiteshige was so strong!　He was ranked second!

Patty, who still could not believe that Kitege had been defeated, shouted this despite the presence of Elysian on the throne.

Then Ryugu, who seemed to have recovered completely, cowered his shoulders and said.

The point is that your savior was much stronger than we are, isn't it?

No, he was much stronger than us. ...... No, he was much stronger than us.　It's funny how strong the Saviors are, isn't it?

Secondus" is an extremely powerful supernatural ability that completely nullifies an attack from an attacker once it is received.

The first blow is the only way to break it.

There is absolutely no such thing as being "smashed to death.

But, "There is nothing wrong with that.

There is nothing strange about it.

What?

Ryugyu shook his head.

The saints we dealt with didn't take any damage during the fight. I heard that the savior took over the damage for them. I heard that this was the first time that had happened to them.

"You mean they were 'dealt with' by ......?"

I think it's more like they've grown up. I'm really jealous of you. I am totally envious of him.

Growth......

As Patty was ruminating on this, a voice suddenly echoed from the throne saying, "That's right.

It was their creator - Elysium.

There is no such thing as "common sense" in the speed of his growth. Therefore, it is only natural that Kitege, who was sitting on his own ability, should be defeated. And his growth leads directly to the growth of the saints. Do you know why I gave you a different system of power from your skills and made you go through the trouble of a "reconnaissance mission"?

No, no. ......

It was in anticipation of your growth. To keep the saints from growing up with that man.

To keep the saints in check. ......

Yes, that's right. Therefore, you are only supposed to fight against the saints. You don't have to think about the Messiah.

But," Elysian said with a smile on his face.

I won't stop you from resisting the man. I won't stop you from fighting against him, because that desire will also feed you.

......

In other words, "If you can beat him, you can beat him.

But the other party is so powerful that even Kitege, who is ranked second in the pecking order, can be beaten to death.

It would not be so easy.

The demons kept their mouths shut in response to Elysian's words, but then....

The demons were all holding their mouths when Elysian said, "Hey, let go of me for a minute!

!"

Suddenly, a familiar female voice echoed around the area, and Patty and the others looked in the direction of the voice to see what was going on.

Patty and the others looked in the direction of the voice to see what was going on. Can't you be a little quiet?　Or rather, if you don't quiet down, you'll get killed, right?　You."

There was Aitia, a member of the same group as Patty and the others -- the Eight Sacrifices -- and the woman who had been standing next to her.

What?　Who in the world is going to kill you in this gloomy place?

It was a human woman who was being restrained by her jutsu technique.

As I recall, she was so--.

Welcome to the Garden of God. Welcome, saint of the sword. I apologize for the gloomy place, but please make yourself at home.

"No, no, it's a very fine residence. ......"

--Saint Elma.

She is one of the seven saints of the Savior's circle.
