Another side
Falling, falling, just falling.
Sun God Isaliza (Female), who was dropped into an unknown otherworld, could only fall according to its gravity.
“……”
Gritting her teeth, her face stained with humiliation, the Goddess realized that most of her power had been stripped away.
Aware that this was not her world, the Goddess, who had been bestowing blessings upon her own world, was no longer an absolute being in this world.
Despite this, she still possessed immense power.
She believed that if she wanted to, she could dye this otherworld, this dungeon, into something that existed only for her.
However, she was currently being relentlessly dropped from the entrance of the dungeon.
She continued to fall through a hole that could only be described as vast.
“Yo, are you the Goddess from another world?”
The boring time spent just falling came to an end.
As if it were natural for him to be there, Susanoo-god, a deity from Japanese Mythology, descended before Isaliza (Female).
He wore a simple *kanto-i* and carried a single straight sword.
The imposing figure with disheveled black hair stood before the silver-haired youth who governed the sun.
“Are you the god of this world?”
“Heh! It’s a brand new world with nothing in it, but it’s undeniably my world, you know? How does it feel, fellow deity, to fall from the Main God Class?”
The reason she couldn’t infiltrate this world was because there was another god in it.
Even a part of a dungeon, if given to a god, would become that god’s domain, their divine realm.
Once that happened, that god would hold dominion over the area, and it couldn’t be easily invaded.
This was true even if there was an overwhelming difference in power.
The Main God Class that ruled the world, and a single national god.
In terms of divinity alone, there was an overwhelming difference in power.
By severing the fact that dominated the world from this world and dragging it into his own domain, he was able to manipulate the power difference to a level where they could be considered equals.
Susanoo-god, reveling in his own domain, didn’t realize it, but for Isaliza (Female), the Main God Class who ruled the world, being reduced to the same divinity as a provincial god of an unknown otherworld was the ultimate humiliation.
Quietly, truly, without anyone noticing, her patience snapped for the umpteenth time.
“Die.”
“Hah! What a greeting!”
In addition to the attacks of the flying Divine Sword, she unleashed the sun’s flames, which incinerated the surrounding area.
In the open space from before, she would have had the option to dodge, but within the confined space of the dungeon, it became difficult to evade the widely spreading divine flames and the pursuing Divine Sword.
However, Susanoo did not panic, even when faced with a torrent of killing intent.
The man who claimed he would run away with his tail between his legs if faced with Main God Classes like Zeus or Odin.
“But, even as a Sun God, you’re weaker than Big Sis.”
He brushed aside the flames with the sword he held on his shoulder.
With a grin, he noticed that compared to the sullen Sun God and his high-strung elder sister, she was inferior in many aspects such as battle experience, eagerness to fight, and potential.
“Hey, you have power, but you’ve just gotten older for nothing, haven’t you?”
He wasn’t fighting seriously, or rather, he couldn’t fight with all his might because he lacked the power he had drawn from the world he once ruled.
Therefore, Susanoo-god surmised that her abilities were limited to that extent and took the next step to uphold his contract with the lord of this land.
“This is a power that Big Sis hates. Well, I love it!!”
“This… is that cloud from earlier!!”
“Hoh, you noticed quickly. My powers don’t work that well in your world, but this is my domain. Let’s make a grand mess!!”
She tucked her sword under her arm and clapped her hands once.
That alone brought about a change in the dungeon.
Dark clouds infused with divine power spread across the entire area, thunder rumbled, and a light rain began to fall from those clouds, gradually turning into heavy downpours. A storm raged in a space where no wind should exist.
“Now, now! How do you like fighting in a storm!! Big Sis hates getting soaked, but I love it!! How about you!!”
Under the storm, which possessed the authority of a tempest, wielded by Susanoo-god, steam began to rise around Isaliza (Female).
This was produced by the evaporation of rain due to Isaliza’s heat.
“Unpleasant.”
“Glad to hear it!!”
Being compared to another Sun God and subjected to rude behavior from the first meeting, Isaliza (Female) recognized Susanoo-god as an enemy and vowed to take his power and make it her own sustenance.
Susanoo-god assessed Isaliza’s brute force attacks.
The speed of her divine-like approach, her flames that turned the earth to cinders, and her Divine Sword that cleaved everything.
A brainless brawl that relied entirely on brute force, driven by stats and authority.
“Kahahaha!! Do you think such clumsy attacks can hit me!!”
The god, known for his brawling prowess, was not just bragging.
Susanoo-god’s movements, said to dispel misfortune, were devoid of waste when it came to fighting.
He dodged the attacks with a flick of his wrist and extinguished the flames with his storm.
He was accustomed to fighting Sun Gods.
“Hey, hey, over here, over here!!”
Both of them could secure footing in the air, leading to an aerial battle.
“Hoh, even a god from another world has blood running through them.”
“Insolent!! How dare you, a lesser being!!”
“That’s because of your lack of experience. In this world, there are plenty of gods more dangerous than you. Fights between gods are commonplace. I heard you only quarreled with your brother. No wonder you’ve become so weak.”
However, even though Isaliza (Female) had superior raw power, Susanoo-god was one or two steps ahead in terms of experience and technique, thus he used her power against her.
He skillfully incited her, planning to disrupt her composure.
His expressions and tone were scornful, constantly calling her weak, trying to narrow her thoughts as much as possible.
Susanoo-god’s inner feelings were revealed by the sweat on his back.
He dodged at the last moment and counterattacked, but she had regenerative powers that instantly healed even when wounded.
Despite being weakened by the storm’s power and having her stamina reduced, she could continue her full-power attacks.
All of her attacks were deadly; a single mistake in dealing with them would result in a fatal blow.
He was completely dominating her with pure technique, but Susanoo-god, regretting taking on this job, desperately continued to fight the Main God Class, wondering how much stronger she would have been if she hadn’t been weakened.
He would later learn, with a sigh of exasperation, that five Demon Lords of comparable strength who had challenged that goddess had failed to defeat her.
“What does a god from another world know!!”
“Ah, I don’t care about that. There are countless romantic entanglements between gods. Even now, I hear Zeus is constantly getting spanked by his wife for chasing after goddesses from other countries. Is your situation similar?”
“Don’t lump that ridiculous nonsense with my situation!!”
“No, it’s the truth. Just a few years ago, he nearly started a war by making a move on Odin’s Valkyrie. Gods are like that, aren’t they?”
Susanoo-god’s tongue continued to wag, using jokes to deflect and provoke her, drawing out her irritation.
Internally, he was anxious about not being able to land a decisive blow and thought it would be quite troublesome to finish her off with just one sword.
“This is pathetic, truly pathetic gods abound!! If that’s the case, once I defeat you, I will take the power of this world’s gods and conquer two worlds!”
“Honestly, even though I’m the one telling you this. You should stop picking fights with those old geezers. Also, absolutely do not pick a fight with the Indian gods. Your life will disappear more easily than scattered petals!”
Thunder roared, rain struck, and wind blew them away, guiding them to their target destination.
Susanoo-god estimated the remaining distance to the ground at a few hundred meters and began to adjust his position.
“You might be like that, a weakling, but I am different!! After I conquered Isal, I planned to swallow other worlds too!! It’s convenient that I came to another world. I’m just moving up my schedule!!”
“Ugh, they say ignorance is a sin, but you, struggling against someone like me, won’t be able to handle those old geezers. But your momentum is amazing. You might be popular with those from India.”
He fought valiantly against opponents he couldn’t handle, prioritizing the completion of his mission over defeating them.
With the storm, even a slight distance would cause them to disappear from sight.
She used this to literally hide in the clouds, but the sun’s flames cleared them away.
“Well, even someone like me has a bit of patriotism. I absolutely refuse to let this country, which my Big Sis likes, be ruled by a ridiculous god like you.”
However, even a moment’s respite was enough time for Susanoo-god.
“So, I’ll use every trick I’ve got?”
“What!!”
“You’ve entered the planned target area!! All weapons free!! All weapons free!!”
This was a dungeon, and it was easy to set up a trap or two.
A slightly quirky shout from the person in charge of fire control echoed from Susanoo-god’s embrace.
Then, a saturation of magical attacks from the dungeon was unleashed.
“Futile!! Such attacks won’t affect me!!”
She showed no concern about being hit by attacks that wouldn’t even serve as a distraction, let alone a foothold.
“Then, how about the fist of a woman who dreamed of punching that smug face of yours!!”
The moment she carelessly stepped forward, a woman leaped out from the clouds.
Hidden within the magic, unnoticed, the Tanaka Family’s lethal weapon struck the Sun God’s jaw with a fist at the perfect timing.
“Kaa!!! I feel refreshed, but what was that hardness? My fist is going to be ruined.”
The Sun God, hit critically, spun sideways.
“Urgent retreat!! I heard she was the leader’s mother, but that’s not the kind of firepower pregnant women should unleash!!”
“Yes, yes, I know. And remember, little lady, mothers are strong.”
Waving her hand, exasperated by the opponent’s high durability, Kirika regained her composure and leaped back into the clouds, her expression sharp.
However, the Sun God, performing a sideways hop in accordance with the law of inertia, glared at the woman who had punched her face and quickly regained her posture, intending to kill Kirika before Susanoo-god.
“Hoi!! Error correction complete!!”
But there was no one here with such a gentle nature to allow that.
“This is our”
“Full power!!”
A woman, using the girl who served as the vessel for the Demon Lord’s soul as a source of magic, aimed her staff, which had become her gun barrel, at the god.
“Absolute Zero Coffin!!”
A sealing magic of ice attribute, powered by Demon Lord-class magic.
Even for a Sun God, it possessed enough power to stop her movements for a few seconds.
“Win!! Retreat!! Retreat!!”
“Already doing it!!”
Instead, a small boy, supporting the two individuals who had exhausted their magic and were unable to move, began to escape immediately.
The guidance from Susanoo-god and the temporary sealing by their comrades hidden within the dungeon.
A mere few seconds, yet those few seconds were a fatal opening.
They created it.
“I’ll leave the rest to you.”
They managed to create it.
“Leader!!!!!!”
“Oho!”
