"Ma... maid!?"
Kurumi and the others muttered Nia's words, their gazes turning to the stunned Ellen.
It must be said that Ellen had a lot going for her; at least from her appearance, Ellen was still a beautiful girl under twenty.
She also had no excess fat, and if she were to put on a miko outfit, she would definitely be a very striking presence.
It has to be said, Nia's suggestion was good; it had some… substance.
Ellen felt very uncomfortable under everyone's gaze. Although her original consciousness was devoured by the Herrscher's consciousness, the Herrscher's consciousness merely altered her original consciousness slightly.
To some extent, Ellen was still Ellen, but because she became a Herrscher, her values changed.
"What are you talking about! Do you know who I am? How dare you ask me to do such a thing!"
Ellen immediately slammed the table and stood up, pointing her index finger at the maliciously grinning Nia, and roared.
"Who are you? Oh~ Since you're so eager to know the answer to that question, let me tell you properly."
Saying this, Nia suddenly pulled out the Sōkokuhenchitsu, wrote Ellen's name into the book, and all information about Ellen instantly appeared on it.
"Ellen Mira Mathers, self-proclaimed 'the Strongest Magician in the World,' currently the First Herrscher—Herrscher of Reason. Although she looks only eighteen years old, her actual age is already fifty..."
"Shut your mouth! Sister! What are you, a forty-five-year-old, babbling about!?"
Clearly hit where it hurt by Nia, Ellen immediately used her ability to create a weapon and threw it at Nia.
Just as the weapon was about to hit Nia, a golden light appeared in front of Nia, and an exquisitely crafted cross appeared before her.
[Clang!]
The weapon fiercely struck the cross, but the cross suffered no damage. Instead, the weapon Ellen created was destroyed by the cross's power.
"What? You! What kind of weapon is this!"
"divine key. This is a weapon created from the herrscher core of the Eleventh Herrscher—the Key of Binding, oath of judah. It possesses the strongest power of 'binding,' and it also works against Herrschers."
After speaking, Nia snapped her fingers, and oath of judah opened on both sides, with golden chains flying out from within, heading towards Ellen.
Despite being an attack method she had never seen before, Ellen quickly recovered from her initial surprise, her eyes fixed on oath of judah in front of Nia.
She wanted to analyze the principle of oath of judah and use her own abilities to create a similar divine key.
However, she had only acquired her power for too short a time; even if she understood the structure of the divine key, it would be impossible to create one in a short period.
Although she dodged the first few chains, the continuously incoming chains still trapped her, like a caterpillar, with chains everywhere except for her chest area.
Nia looked provocatively at Ellen, who was hanging upside down. This feeling was simply too satisfying. Compared to her own Angel, oath of judah was truly amazing.
Although she was just a fake nun, the power of oath of judah was indeed genuine. Even she, a Spirit who had once lost to Ellen, could now defeat her after Ellen gained the power of the First Herrscher.
"Hehe~ You old woman, over fifty years old, don't think I'll forget what happened before just because you became Tsukiyo-chan's Herrscher. You captured me and subjected me to experiments at DEM for so long; I haven't forgotten any of it."
"You... you! I forbid you from being disrespectful to Lady God!"
Ellen struggled frantically. Although she was annoyed about losing to Nia, she was even more displeased with Nia referring to Inaba Tsukiyo with 'chan' in such a way.
In her eyes, Inaba Tsukiyo was a transcendent being, like a god.
And such a being was actually called 'Tsukiyo-chan' by Nia? How incredibly rude! She absolutely had to teach this person a lesson!
The conflict between Ellen and Nia was very obvious. Yoshino and Kurumi, as spectators, sat excitedly in their seats, watching the two interact, almost as if they had popcorn in hand.
It was so exciting. Although there was an element of schadenfreude, the battle between Ellen and Nia was indeed very spectacular.
But if this continued, and the conflict between Nia and Ellen grew, would something bad happen?
Yoshino, Yoshinon, and Kurumi looked at Inaba Tsukiyo. At present, the only person who could stop Nia and Ellen was Yoshino.
"Sigh~ Stop it, Nia. I didn't give you the divine key to use against our own people."
"But didn't you also give it to me for self-defense? She was the one who started it, so why are you scolding me?"
Although very unhappy, Nia still obediently retracted Judah's chains.
After the chains returned inside Judah, Judah also disappeared in front of Nia, transforming back into a mass of spiritual power and returning to Nia's body.
When Nia retracted the chains, she didn't put Ellen down; she completely released the chains in mid-air.
Ellen herself had a naturally clumsy personality, and with Nia's sudden release, Ellen didn't react at all and fell downwards.
Ellen, falling headfirst, watched the ground getting closer and closed her eyes in a panic, resigned to awaiting the impact to her head.
Just when everyone thought Ellen's head was about to make intimate contact with the ground, a pair of petite hands appeared more quickly at the spot where Ellen was falling, steadily catching the falling Ellen.
