As is well known, Kamisato had already defeated several nerfed Magic Gods, even destroyed Nephthys' Phase.
Based on these feats shouldn't it be obvious that Kamisato has Sub-Relativistic reaction speed?And…
She also knew how that silver arm was truly used and what the god who wielded it looked like.
“Anyway, I went around consuming everyone I saw who looked like a Magic God. The only ones I missed were…what were their names again? Zombie, High Priest, and…Othinus? Was that it? I don’t remember, so I can’t really say.”
Those were hopeless words.
Not to mention that he did not include Nephthys’s name on that list.
“Now, what to do about you?”
He truly was speaking on a whim.
Just having him turn his right palm her way was enough for unpleasant sweat to appear on Nephthys’s chocolate skin. It was a mad sweat brought by a mixture of fear and joy.
“Do you wish for a new world?”
“!!!???”
She did not wait any longer.
She realized if she did, she would give in to the joy instead of the fear and she would give herself over to the temptation.
She released her power as a Magic God.
She was surrounded by the deafening sound of thousands of insect wings scraping together. In an instant, her brown silhouette blurred. Her divinity had been created based on the crying woman who was paid to take part in funerals. In this case in particular, that referred to the thousands or tens of thousands of servants who were buried alive in the pyramid for the pharaoh’s burial.
That made Nephthys different from the other Magic Gods. The others had thoroughly honed their powers as an individual, but she had specialized her power as something that could be separated, split apart, cut away, and swapped out.
In other words, she held it in reserve.
Even after being hit by Aleister’s weakening spell, she still had enough power to swap out the phase just once.
(Embed it.)
She bit her lip while aware she was at the disadvantage even as a god.
(Embed the phase, change the world, and use that power to crush-…)
The voice of her heart was cut off.
She heard a tremendous explosion of sound and her phase was crushed.
“Wha-?”
It was squeezed and crushed.
“…Ah…?”
To a third party, it may have looked like the entire scene wavered like a mirage, but this was something else entirely. That did not explain anything, but it was the only way of expressing it. Nephthys froze in place when she saw it and the boy simply clenched his right hand and opened it once more. It almost looked like he was giving her a greeting.
In other words, he could reject and kill even a Magic God using her full power.
