Chapter 485 - Ren Going All Out
The Goddess of Light who had transcended her mortality centuries ago was feeling something she had long forgotten, she was actually feeling fear. At this moment Ren was exuding mana that was continuously growing, not to mention there was also this mysterious form of energy that was coating him. She was actually feeling dread as she watched Ren smiling at him with that vicious smile of his.
Ren looked at the Goddess of Light like he was looking at the most precious treasure in the world. In a sense, Ren was showering the Goddess of Light with crazed affection. Yet this was not the kind of affection the Goddess of Light wanted.
"Now Goddess of Light, allow me to show you my full strength!" Ren hid all of his weapons back into his shadow and took a stance without any weapon at hand. When the Goddess of Light saw what Ren did her anger overcame her fear.
"Even now, even now! YOU dare look down on me?!" The Goddess of Light released a burst of light that burned everything it touches. This was the same move as [Heaven's Light] but at a much smaller scale. Tsukiyomi was quite near the blast radius and was about to get hit. She raised her arm and took a bit of mana from Ren through their contract and created a mana shield.
'It's still not at the level of Edge's nor is it even near Rei's level but as expected his mana just keeps on rising.'
...
The light from her blast faded and she could not see Ren anywhere in sight, but the Goddess of Light did not let her guard down. She raised her shield and was about to fly up when she suddenly felt a hand touch her face.
"Looking for me!" Ren had grabbed hold of her face, at a speed that she could not discern. Among the World Deities, her speed was near the top as she could literally move at the speed of light. It was not just her movement that was fast, all of her senses match up to the same speed, yet even she was not able to catch Ren's movement.
Ren then proceeded to smash the Goddess of Light onto the ground. The ground cracked the first time, he then raised the Goddess's head again and was about to smash her onto the ground again, yet before he could do it, the Goddess of Light grabbed hold of his hand and tried to burn it. Ren was reacted quickly and let go of her, upon letting go of her face, Ren smashed his knee onto her head.
The Goddess of Light could not react at all and was blown away upward. She gritted her teeth and stopped herself mid-air by using her wings of light. As she floated in the air she quickly initiated an attack by sending beams of light to the ground.
"Who are you hitting?" The Goddess of Light heard a voice above her and raised her shield upward. An enormous force smashed onto her shield and she was pushed downward landing onto the ground her legs shaking. Ren once again appeared before her and was about to punch her face. The Goddess lifted her shield to block the attack, but it turned out to be a feint and the real attack was a roundhouse kick to the neck.
As the Goddess of Light staggered to the side Ren grabbed hold of her neck and lifted her up. Ren's grip was so strong, that no matter what she did the Goddess of Light could not escape. The Goddess of Light started to panic as she grew confused.
'How is he so strong? He wasn't this strong the last time we fought, and I wasn't even going all out back then. It has only been a few weeks how can he gain such strength in such a short amount of time?' As those thoughts filled her head, the Goddess of Light remembered what the God of War told her.
"You had a chance to beat him but you let him go. That was the stupidest thing you might have ever done. That was your only chance to gain victory and you let it slip by, so you deserve whatever's coming to you. That guy no matter the incarnation is someone that becomes stronger for every battle he has faced." It turned out those words were no exaggeration.
"Was that all you were capable of? I guess I overestimated you a little. If you have any more trump cards hidden you better use them now, or this time you will truly fall."
When the Goddess of Light heard what Ren said she looked at him and saw the expression on his face, it was one of disappointment. When she saw that look of his something within her snapped.
"You're still looking down on me!" The Goddess of Light no longer hesitated and started to release all of her power. She didn't want to do this, as after using this move she would need to replenish her divine energy for a century. Even if she won now, her believers would need to fend for themselves as she sleeps. Yet seeing as she was about to lose, such worries were nothing more than a luxury.
Ren who was holding the Goddess of Light's neck noticed that the Goddess of Light's body was turning translucent. Not only that, but, Ren was also feeling an intense heat coming from her, and he could no longer hold her neck. Seeing the change that was happening to the Goddess of Light Ren could feel his excitement returning.
"Now this is what I'm talking about! You should've used this from the start!" As Ren was shouting in excitement he saw in the corner of his eye, that his arm was once again sliced off. The Goddess of Light was now moving faster than before. Ren quickly got hold of his arm and reattached it. As he did that he was now evading the Goddess of Light's sword swings.
Ren could not find the right timing to counter, nor could he find a way to escape the relentless attacks. The speed, precision, and power of each of the Goddess of Light's attacks were incomparable from before. Ren was forced to take out Snertal from his shadow as he matched the Goddess of Light's sword swings strike for strike.
"Show me more, and I will show you no matter what you do, I will surpass you!" Ren happily declared.
