Volume 9 Chapter 6 Elena's End
Something squished.
Was it her heart? But it regenerates.
Her brain was crushed. But it regenerates.
Her bones were broken. But they regenerate.
The transformed Elena does not die. No matter how much damage she takes, she regenerates.
The only way to counter Elk's Telekinesis is not to endure...
'Ugh, ha, ha...'
"Senior Elena. I will end this now... I can't just watch anymore."
Elk quietly brought his hands together.
Was it his kind of mercy? It seemed he wanted to end it without her suffering.
'......'
Elena stared at him.
She no longer resisted. Before she knew it, Yato and the others were just watching Elena.
In front of Elk, Elena could never win.
Moreover, the monsters rampaging in the academy were being defeated.
They were inferior beings without regeneration abilities like Elena. Piasola probably thought it was fine for them to die, just using them to buy time.
Elena would die here.
But... her goal was achieved.
Then, only Elena's face, now a monster, returned to normal.
"Elk."
"...Senior Elena."
"We won. It doesn't matter what you do anymore."
"What do you mean?"
With his right hand still pointed, Elk asked.
Elena, bound by Telekinesis, couldn't move at all, but her face could.
"The 4 gems that Adrazione gathered are treasures that Goddess Pipina herself descended into this world and placed. In other words, the gems are connected to Goddess Pipina."
"Connected...?"
"Yes, connected. It's a very, very thin 'connection,' but it definitely ties to Goddess Pipina. By gathering those 'connections' and offering people's prayers, we will manifest Goddess Pipina in this world. That is the purpose of us, the 'Goddess Holy Church.'"
"...There's no way you can do that."
"We can. We have been preparing for this. Goddess Pipina will definitely appear in this world."
"......"
"Elk. Be careful, okay? Piasola will surely create a world just for herself and Goddess Pipina. To Piasola, you, me, and all life in this world are just obstacles."
"Pipina will destroy the world? No way."
"It can happen. I've been praying as the 'Holy Mother' for a long time, so I kind of understand. Goddess Pipina will surely appear. But... it probably won't be the Goddess Pipina we know."
Elena smiled.
It was a refreshing, bright smile.
"Goodbye, Elk. Coming close to you was a mission, but... it wasn't such a bad time after all."
"......"
As Elk tightly clenched his hand, Elena was 'compressed,' leaving no trace behind.
After that, all the monsters were defeated, and the chaos settled down.
The gems Elk held were taken by Piasola.
Yes... all the gems were gathered by Adrazione.
Everything needed to summon Pipina into this world.
* * *
Piasola quietly placed the 4 gems on the pedestal and began to pray.
In the basement of the Adrazione headquarters, all the believers upstairs were also praying.
Piasola was praying alone.
"Goddess Pipina... please hear our voices."
The gems began to glow softly.
The believers' prayers were causing the gems to respond with 'thought' power.
To amplify that 'thought,' Piasola used her skill 'Amplification' at max level, sending her prayer toward the gems.
The prayer reached, and the wish would come true.
Then─── cracks appeared in all the gems, and a brilliant light enveloped the basement.
"Ahhh───..."
It worked.
The prayer had reached.
Piasola clasped her hands and bowed her head.
As the light settled, a figure appeared─── a goddess.
"Haaah..."
She was a sparkling girl.
Wings sprouted from her back, and a glowing halo floated above her head.
The girl gently floated up... and then stopped in front of Piasola.
"Did you call for me?"
"Y-yes!! Goddess Pipina, I am──"
"Pia-Pia, right?"
"Y-yes!!"
Joy.
Just hearing her name called made Piasola tremble.
She felt weak in the knees and couldn't stand.
It was her first time experiencing such overwhelming joy.
"Sniff, this is the smell. Lick... this is the taste. It's a strange feeling."
"G-Goddess Pipina!"
"Hey, I'm hungry. And───..."
Pipina smiled cutely.
"Pia-Pia, what do you wish for?"
"To purify this world. A world just for you and me."
"Okay? Hehe, I'm a goddess... as a thank you for calling me, I'll grant your wish."
And so, the goddess Pipina appeared.
The administrator of the world of life and death. The creator. The beginning and the end.
The god who grants cheat skills was now in motion.
