"This is! Isn't this a small cosmos?"
Looking at the flickering, strange energy on her fingertip, Kurumi said with a gloomy expression. She had 'dug' it out of Anderson's wound while treating him earlier. It was filled with death energy. If no one could expel it, Anderson wouldn't survive. However, he was lucky to encounter Zeus, who was disguised as Kurumi. It seemed his life was truly tenacious.
"It seems it really is my eldest sister."
Feeling the familiar death energy on it, Zeus had lived in the Underworld for a year; if she still didn't know what this thing was, she might as well die.
"But logically speaking, Big Sister, she shouldn't have a reason or the power to come to this world! What exactly happened?"
Kurumi dispersed the cosmos in her hand, thinking with a troubled expression.
"It seems I can only ask her directly. By the way, our relationship should be pretty good, right? And Big Sister even saved me."
Thinking this, Kurumi was no longer troubled. She focused her attention on Anderson, who was struggling to report the situation to Lelia. He was much better now than before; although his face was still very pale, there was nothing he could do about it since he had lost so much blood. However, he should be grateful to have held onto his life!
"Please! Lady Lelia, save our Underworld!"
Lying on the bed, Anderson looked at Lelia with a desolate expression and pleaded.
Lelia did not reply. She fell silent. To be honest, she had long since left the battlefield and only wanted to live a normal life. She never expected such a situation to arise now. For a moment, she was undecided: should she step onto the battlefield she had long grown weary of, or protect her peaceful life? A dilemma was laid before her.
Looking at the silent Lelia, the hope in Anderson's eyes also extinguished. He knew the difficulties this Lady faced; she had already done enough for the Underworld. His request now was truly a bit shameless.
A violent crash interrupted Lelia's predicament; someone had invaded.
"Heh heh heh, little mouse, come out! I found you."
Minos, with a joyful smile on her face, punched the barrier again and again. She had now confirmed that her prey was inside, and she was impatient to see her desperate expression.
"What an unwelcome guest!"
Lelia quickly walked out the door; she did not want her home to be destroyed.
Kurumi, on the other hand, hid in the shadows to observe. She didn't want to confront her Big Sister's subordinate yet. She believed Lelia would resolve it quickly, after all, the incoming fellow wasn't strong, nor did she possess divinity that would allow her to be immune to Lelia's ability nullification characteristic (The Minos here is not Zeus's daughter, she has no divinity, don't criticize me.).
"You seem very strong! My prey has been taken in by you, hasn't she?"
Minos tilted her head and looked at Lelia, who was walking towards her step by step, and said with a smile.
"If she were a polite guest, I would invite her in for a cup of tea and a chat."
"But if she is an impolite guest, I will use my fists to teach her what politeness means."
Without responding to Minos, Lelia stood before Minos and said calmly.
"Are we fighting already? Ah~, I'm so happy, truly so happy! Let me cut open your body and see the color of your internal organs!"
Minos looked at Lelia with a flushed face, her entire body twisting unnaturally.
This made Kurumi, who was watching from the shadows, twitch her mouth and sigh, thinking that her sister's subordinates were truly 'talented individuals,' even taking in such 'lunatics.' It made Kurumi so disgusted that she wanted to beat her up.
And in fact, Lelia was also disgusted, so she did what Kurumi wanted to do, which was to give Minos a severe beating. Less than a minute into the fight, Minos was being pressed to the ground and rubbed. The reason was that Lelia was worried this person would unleash some big move and destroy her house, leaving her nowhere to cry.
"Ha~ ha, fighting a strong opponent is truly enjoyable!"
Although bruised and swollen, Minos still smiled at Lelia, who was looking down at her, and said. But the next moment, she plunged her hand into her own heart. This scene stunned Lelia; she didn't understand why the other party would suddenly 'commit suicide.'
"Let's meet again next time, strong one. Remember my name, Minos. Next time, I will definitely cut open your body."
With a strange expression on her face, Minos's entire body began to vaporize, turning into black gas. Regarding this situation, probably only Kurumi knew that the other party was abandoning her body, allowing her soul to return to Hades. As long as their souls remained, they were immortal, and their bodies would be reborn in the River Styx, fighting for Hades again.
"..."
"Don't feel burdened. This person might not be dead."
Lelia, who had never encountered such a situation, seemed a little flustered. She had no intention of killing the other party, but she didn't expect the other party to 'commit suicide' like that. Now her mind was a bit chaotic. Seeing the somewhat bewildered Lelia, Kurumi stepped forward to comfort her. Kurumi knew that this person's combat power was very strong, but she had a heart that loved peace and didn't want to harm any life, so seeing Minos's 'death,' she felt a little sad.
"How do you know?"
Lelia looked at Kurumi, who suddenly appeared beside her, and asked curiously.
"Of course! I've encountered this disgusting ability; it's impossible to truly kill the opponent."
Kurumi said helplessly. No matter how lazy she was, she still knew the necessary knowledge. Gaia had force-fed her a lot of it, and she had a very good memory, so of course she remembered this 'Gods' Undying Divine Seal.' This was far more advanced than the 'False Death Technique' Athena gave to Dohko.
"What are you going to do?"
Kurumi asked Lelia, who was silent, with concern. It seemed her wish for a peaceful life was likely to be dashed.
"I plan to return to the Underworld. This will be my last time helping the Underworld."
After a long while, Lelia sighed deeply and said to Kurumi.
"Then, I'll go with you! I also need to investigate."
Kurumi said to Lelia with a smile.
"Alright! Then from now on, we are comrades in arms."
Lelia smiled happily, then said to Kurumi.
"Then, let's stay at my place for a few days! See Yuu, she misses you very much."
"Once we're ready, we'll go to the Underworld together."
After inviting Lelia, Kurumi used her clone to take Anderson from the room to the hospital. This guy was injured and needed care, not to mention he wasn't particularly good at fighting or taking a beating, so he might as well go somewhere cool and stay there!
"Hmm! It's time to meet her. I hope she doesn't resent my departure."
"How could she! Yuu is the kindest."
"That's true!"
Saying this, the two happily decided on a time, then packed their things, and the two began to walk towards Ayumi's house.
