C289 - Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice
🕑 Added 2024-04-23 07:50:36 +0000 UTCMeanwhile.
A group of people had actually been watching for a while on the coast of Maijima.
When the sky above the small island was enveloped in black clouds and terrible lightning. There were also several explosions that they could see from a distance.
Instead of advancing, the protagonist Keima told everyone to wait.
"Ka-Kami-sama, shouldn't we get there right away? Haqua and the others might be there!" Elsie looked at her older brother anxiously.
"Not yet. Elsie, don't you see? Besides our group there seems to be another group fighting with Vintage.
We don't know who they are. If we suddenly join forces, I'm afraid it'll be a three-way battle." Keima shook his head. If possible, he would rather continue to wait and not do anything because others had already solved the problem for him.
But the gazes of Nora, Yuri Nakado, Akari Kirakawa and more than a dozen other devils made him unable to say the words of a coward.
"The goddesses in the girls' bodies are in danger, they could be sacrificed at any time to break the seal of the Old Hell. Katsuragi-kun, I think we should move immediately to confirm their condition."
The one who said that was an adult woman wearing a long-sleeved shirt, a miniskirt and dark stockings. She had short, straight, neck-length black hair.
Not long ago she found out that the teacher at her school, Yuri Nakado was not human, but a devil like Elsie, Haqua and Nora.
Most of their intelligence came from that woman. Somehow she knew a lot about Vintage's plans that even Nora didn't know about.
"Nakado-sensei. Ah the lightning in the sky has disappeared and the explosions have also stopped. Alright, let's go."
Keima reluctantly agreed to Yuri's suggestion. Soon, with Elsie carrying him while flying with her hagoromo, they all arrived at the small island and were astonished to see the battle scars.
Several hills were hollowed out, the trees on one side were frozen and filled with ice. On the other side, purple flames burned the trees to ashes.
There were no corpses, but they found several broken robes of Vintage members.
"There's no doubt about it, the group that came before us is hostile to Vintage. Their power is even stronger than ours." said the woman in the dirty lab coat who had dark purple hair covering the sides of her face.
Just like Yuri, Akari was also a devil. Each of them held the Scythe of Testament.
"Elsie, you said Haqua has her own plans. This group must have something to do with that girl." Nora said.
"Eh that's... Maybe." Elsie herself wasn't sure but her older brother snorted.
"No wonder Haqua refused to join us. She has found stronger reinforcements! Yosh, I don't think we need to continue this operation. Let's go home...."
Keima did not finish his words when he saw the disappointed looks from Elsie and Yuri. His half-sister was understandable, but why his teacher too?
'Whatever. I don't want to make my brain cells work too hard for a 3D woman. Coming up with a plan to save Ayumi, Kanon and the other girls possessed by the goddess is the limit.'
The ending he was thinking too was actually... He couldn't see it anymore.
Yuri suddenly frowned and shouted at everyone.
"This is bad! The goddesses seem to have been sacrificed, the seal of the Old Hell has been opened!"
"What!!!"
As everyone including Keima panicked, the small island suddenly shook.
"No... Didn't Haqua and her group successfully defeat the Vintage people? Why?"
The protagonist was in a daze, there was guilt in his heart. It would be a lie if he wasn't worried about Ayumi and the others. Moreover, it was his fault for rejecting the girls and making the goddesses not have enough strength to defend themselves from the people who kidnapped them.
"This is not the time to ask questions. We should leave immediately for the seal location."
Akari ignored Keima, everyone agreed with what she said.
....
However, the group of protagonists misunderstood. The people they were worried about were actually fine.
The goddesses looked at the man who had just broken the seal they had made nervously.
Earlier after their conversation was over and Mars was still determined to make Eiji her husband regardless of Rias and the other girls glaring at her.
"Seiya-san, what are you doing?! Quickly close the seal back up! Wait, why can you even open it so easily?!"
Diana was crazy, despite Eiji having saved her, she wanted to pull the man's collar and scold him.
Since the beginning of their abduction because of the goddess seal they made to seal the Old Hell.
But Eiji, he easily broke the seal just by stomping his foot on the stone platform below them.
Now they were all directly transported to the Old Hell! There were many Weiss howls around them and the place was worse than they remembered.
If not for Vulkan holding her hand, she would have wanted to do so.
[This place is dark, the trees have no leaves, the ground is black and the sky is purple. Not far from us, many loose souls whose number I don't know started to appear. So this is the Old Hell, if devils are not as beautiful as Rias, Sona and the others, this is really a suitable place for ugly devils like in the movies.]
The heroines out there laughed. The devils in question were happy to be praised, but Sona couldn't help but say to her fiancé.
"Eiji, I don't think this is the time to admire the environment around us. Look, those goddesses, they're worried to death."
"....." The goddesses in question couldn't argue with what Sona said. But was it just them or was she mocking them for panicking? How could they not panic, especially Diana whose face turned pale when she saw hundreds or maybe millions of loose souls that looked like giant balloons staring at their group.
Those creatures were also staring greedily at the huge portal to the human world that was wide open behind them.
It would have been much better if their goddess powers were at full effect, but right now they were nothing more than ordinary humans who were a little strong.
They wouldn't be able to stop those creatures!
"Calm down... I certainly have my reasons for breaking the seals you've been trying to close. The seals you create won't last forever, right? At that time, you goddesses will have to sacrifice yourselves again to create a new seal. And in the future, there might be another group that wants to kidnap you to break the seal." Eiji said as he looked at the women.
"So what do you really want to do?" Diana felt warm to hear the man in front of her so worried about her and her five sisters. But she still didn't understand.
"It's simple. To prevent this seal cycle from repeating, instead of bothering to seal, it's more to exterminate all the loose souls that are here."
After he said that, except for the women in his harem, the goddesses reacted the loudest.
" Th-that's crazy! I know you're strong but the number of loose souls in Old Hell is more than you can think of!" Diana.
"As expected of my future husband. You really are a true gentleman!"
She glared at Mars who said that with an expression of love.
Less than a day, but the blonde woman had already fallen quite deeply for a man.
What an embarrassment for their group...
"Eiji Seiya, if you can really do it. We, Jupiter Sisters will be very grateful to you."
Unlike some of her strange sisters, Vulkan immediately expressed her approval.
This made the two goddesses who had been silent open their mouths.
"Since Vulkan already said that. Please help us, Eiji." The fifth and lavender-haired Minerva said that.
She was only slightly taller than Vulkan, basically belonging to the petite girl category; although the owner of her body, Shiori Shiomiya should already be a second year high school girl.
"To help us so far. As expected, humans are relatively good creatures. Wait, you could previously turn into a half-dragon... Whatever your race is. I Mercury will also be grateful to you like my exalted sisters."
The sexy woman with brown skin and shoulder-length white hair said that. Mercury looked at him lazily, but there was friendliness in her eyes.
Eiji remembered that the woman was supposed to be the goddess who possessed Ayumi Takahara's body, she was the first heroine in this franchise. He knew the girl was also secretly watching in autopilot mode.
Apollo and even Diana who heard Vulkan were silent. They stared at him and waited for what he would do.
"Leave it to me, this won't take long."
"Eiji! Eiji! Are you done yet? I might have to make Black-Hole-Kun. There are many balloons, ordinary Space-Space-Kun is not enough."
During the conversation, Lala held back the loose souls who ran towards the gate behind them. Hundreds of blue portals encircled their group and tore through hundreds of loose souls. Even so, there were too many of them.
Rias, Sona, Lavinia and Asia helped with their ranged attacks. Without stars, Old Hell limited Ai's power and she was only able to kill a few loose souls in each attack. Haqua used her purple flame, but her performance was only equal to Ai's.
Ignoring the goddesses who looked at her girl power in awe.
"Well give me a moment, Lala. By the way you don't need to use your Black-Hole-Kun."
"Eh~ Okay~"
This was the third time Lala was forbidden to use her trump card. The girl pouted slightly, he would give her a chance but not now.
Walking slightly forward and opening his Rinne Sharingan, he looked at the sea of loose souls that filled the ground and sky... To be honest they were like colorful balloons.
But put that aside.
Curse Arts.
Basically any type of curse art from a certain franchise and the curse energy itself. But with his Rinne Sharingan being able to see any energy flow and his crazy understanding he got from Anos and Varvatos.
He was able to control the curse energy perfectly and spread it to the world until it reached its limit.
The current him is not impossible to create a move similar to that of someone from a certain curse-themed franchise.
The women in that place saw Eiji showing rippling eyes with his six tomoe glowing bluish.
The goddesses gulped, they sensed something was coming.
He raised one of his hands to the level of his face and made a hand seal with his two fingers.
"Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void."
!!!
Instantly a colorless field expanded from his body and it expanded to cover the entire Old Hell which was actually equivalent to twice the earth.
One could imagine how many loose souls required the six goddess Jupiter Sisters to seal this place because of the creature's population.
Eiji could feel how many loose souls and it was in the trillions. This was the largest number of enemies he had faced and he was happy...
Except for the girls in his group and the goddesses, all objects and loose souls in that dimension stopped moving as if frozen in time.
The women were dumbfounded at the sight.
But it wasn't over yet.
As the name implied, Domain Expansion was the ability to create a domain where the user was the master of that place and Unlimited Void was that type of domain.
Eiji chose this type to make all his targets, loose souls enter into an endless void.
So the scenery around them changed.
"T-This..." Diana opened her mouth in disbelief. How could someone create outer space?!
No, it's even like a galaxy! With a huge black hole and lots of white patches in the background! There are stars and cosmic dust as far as the eye can see.
Goddesses like them didn't even know what this concept of power was.
Who exactly is Eiji?
Except for those women who heard Eiji's inner voice and had known the man for a while, they began to question this.
Mars looked at the man's back hotly. Oh she had an infatuated gaze.
Countless loose souls trembled, they couldn't move because of the infinite amount of raw information being forced into their minds.
This was another effect of the Unlimited Void, besides stopping the target's movement, it could also damage their minds to an extreme level.
For loose souls, they could not stand this ability and within a few seconds, many of them exploded.
"Wow~!"
Lala exclaimed as she saw many balloons pop. If this was on earth, it would break the world record of many balloons popping simultaneously.
In just under half a minute, all the loose souls in the dreaded Old Hell that the goddesses feared were wiped out.
"......" Jupiter Sisters.
Eiji deactivated his domain, his eyes also returned to normal.
The Old Hell that was originally dark and gloomy due to the negative energy emitted by the loose souls also slowly drifted away more colorful.
The ground became healthy and the sky became blue like in the human world. The ocean that enveloped this plain was also no longer black, it turned blue.
The sight made the goddesses nostalgic because this was like the Old Hell thousands of years ago where the number of loose souls locked up here could still be controlled by the devils and they had not made the decision to sacrifice themselves.
"Alright girls, time to go back."
...
"Nakado-sensei, you said the Old Hell seal was opened. So what bad things are going to happen? I don't see any loose souls or monsters here."
"The earthquake on this island has also stopped."
Protagonist Keima adjusted his goggles and looked at the ruins of the cave that should have been a mountain before, but the top of the mountain was cut off which made him wonder who the boss character was that was able to do this.
'Maybe it's the goddesses? But I don't see them. Actually, except for our group, there's no one here.'
Yuri was also confused, but she walked further and saw that the seal on the stone platform was open. This meant that the door to the Old Hell was indeed open, but countless loose souls were in there, none of them trying to get out.
"I don't know either... This is strange..."
"Maybe we should check inside?" Akari suggested, she walked closer to the portal that opened on the stone platform.
The others followed suit, but by then the portal was glowing brighter.
They were all stunned to see a group of people emerge from it.
At first they were wary for fear that it was Vintage members, but they were wrong; some of the people in the group they could recognize. There were the girls who housed the six goddesses and the familiar purple-haired girl.
"Haqua and the girls possessed by the goddess, are you still alive? Thank goodness!"
As everyone fell silent, Elsie shouted out like that which made Haqua's lips twitch.
She sighed looking at the girl, her seniors and even Keima.
"Why do you even think we're dead? Elsie, don't talk carelessly."
"But! But wasn't the seal opened, so we thought you and the goddesses were already..."
Haqua understood why Elsie could misunderstand. Still as she and the girl spoke, the people on the other side were staring at Eiji's group.
Eiji's group also did the same. Eiji's gaze naturally fell on the protagonist.
[He looks like in the original work. Compared to Rito, Issei, Basara, the protagonist of The World God Only Knows was somewhat...]
Rias and the others also glanced at Keima. They wondered how the girls possessed by the goddess fell in love with him.
"Diana, are you, Tenri and the others okay?"
Keima walked up to Diana, out of all the goddesses, he was most familiar with her. But that was before, he didn't realize the girls' gazes were even different from usual.
Diana even looked at him indifferently.
"Katsuragi-san, we're fine."
"That's... That's good. What about the girls? You guys are fine but the seal..."
"I told you we're fine. As for the Old Hell seal? All the loose souls in there are dead. Thanks to Eiji's group."
Not just Keima, but Elsie, Yuri, Nora and the others were shocked.
What did they just hear? The most incredulous was Yuri and she looked at Eiji as if it wasn't the first time she saw him. No, it was indeed their first meeting, but it wasn't the first time she heard his horror.
Even though Diana answered his question. Still, Keima felt that Diana's and the other goddesses' attitude towards him became colder. He shouldn't care about what the 3D woman thought of him, wasn't this what he wanted?
But right now, he felt very uncomfortable.

I've edited this chapter, is there still something wrong? To be honest, I was sure I had written 'His Rinne Sharingan' but somehow the software I use for my English autocorrected it.

BRO, use him/her properly... half the novel refers to Eiji as a girl.
