It turns out that Face Slapping scene aren't all good either…
"Big Brother is so Kind…"Said Clara as she took her bearings and Blushed heavily in my arms…
"Did you snap out of it???"I asked her casually…
"Mmmm…"She nodded as she looked at me…
"Why did Big Brother do it???"Asked Clara as her young mind couldn't clarify it…
I sighed…
In No Game No Life world even the 3 Year Old Humanoid Super Computer Shiro could challenge World Class Chess Champions and AIs and yet…
Thinking so I pinched her tender cheeks making her exclaim…
Good Stuff…
Great for pinching…
Not every world has Humanoid Super computers or Mad scientists…
Just like the Young Ladies in most High School Animes…
They all feel haughty and distant and yet they don't realize that they are just another bunch of Young Ladies…
The world is simply filled with young ladies…
The only difference is how high they Rank on the social ladder with not much difference…
I shook my head and threw out the useless drivel as I continued to Fly towards the Battlefield…
"Is big Brother going to Vesla Fortress alone???"Asked the Baby…
Oh no, It was Clara…
"Vesla???"I questioned and then said…
"No, I am simply being guided towards that direction by the Goddesses…"I said as I shook my head and said…
Clara looked at me as with stars in her eyes…
"Big Brother is so loved by the Goddesses…"
"No, in fact if you had more strength then you could talk to them as well…
After all a Divine connection takes a lot out of a young girl like you and that's why they are usually brief…"
I explained and Patted her head mid-flight…
"Did you snap out of it???"I asked her casually…
"Mmmm…"She nodded as she looked at me…
"Why did you do it???"
"This was because those people in the Capital were too bad…
They had too many sins…
I used the Power of a Kind Goddess to Scan the people there…"I explained her patiently…
"Was it the Judgment of the Goddesses???"Asked Clara as I shook my head…
"It was my own…
They are too kind and wouldn't use such a Method but for me it's fine…
I can Easily kill those people and take the infamy..."I said firmly while flying with Clara…
"Why be bad then???"Asked Clara as if it was her who had been wronged…
"Because I don't care…
This is your world and you will have to take care of it after I destroy Julian…
No matter what the people of this world think, they wouldn't be able to affect me in the Slightest…
Besides, once Years pass, Everything will be forgotten…
So it doesn't matter…"I said Indifferently while flying…
"Big Brother will leave???"Asked Clara with her big Doe eyes looking very cute…
'Damn [Instant Death Eyes]???'
I said as I understood that I had met an opponent…
This world was indeed a bit too dangerous…
But in this test of will I had to remain Firm…
"I also have family to take care of…"I said casually since I know she won't go with me…
"Ohhh!!!"The Baby pouted as I had the Urge to stay with her but I relented and only patted her head affectionately…
I explained and Patted her head mid-flight…
The awkwardness continued until…
"But it's dangerous to fight alone…"Said Clara with Worry but I merely took out a Special Chocolate Stick and stuffed it in her small mouth…
"Mmmmhhh…" Pouted Clara as she ate the chocolate stick like a Baby as I looked at the Horizon…
And frowned…
Only after 50 kilometers, the Sky had begun to turn Gray and Lifeless…
As expected…
I soon Saw a Fortress in the Distance…
The transition from the golden radiance of the capital to the stagnant, ashen atmosphere of the "Grey Zone" was like moving from a summer afternoon into a permanent, sunless winter…
'Hmmm…
It's already so bad???'
I frowned and continued…
As we crossed the 50-kilometer threshold, the vibrant, shimmering gold of my Light Incarnation wings began to flicker and dim…
The brilliance that had illuminated the ruins of Valroy seemed to be sucked into the very air, leaving only a muted, ghostly glow…
Clara, who was still nibbling on the special chocolate stick I'd given her, looked up with widened, doe-like eyes…
She clutched the fabric of my hoodie, her voice small and trembling…
"Big Brother...
The light…
It's fading…"
"Is the Malice of the world too strong for even you???"
I looked down at her and couldn't help but pinch her cheek again, making her let out a muffled "Mwah!!!" around the chocolate…
"Don't look at me with such a worried face, Clara-chan…
I'm just inputting a minimum amount of mana…
If I wanted to, I could shatter the sound barrier and be there in seconds, or even fold space to arrive instantly…
But if I did that, I wouldn't be able to observe the terrain…
I'm just cruising to see how far the Evil of the World has truly spread…
Besides no one uses their full strength at the Start…
Those heroes who keep showing their Trump Cards like fools can only get beaten to Death…
This is called being cautious…"
I explained as she nodded and looked at me with admiration, though she still looked a bit skeptical…
To her, the light was a barometer of hope, but to me, it was just energy management…
Of course, if I had used my Red Talent Light Incarnation completely then it wouldn't just be light wings but a Glowing Sun walking on Land…
I would never walk with such a massive Target over my Head…
Not in a million years…
Soon, the horizon was no longer a flat line but a jagged silhouette of stone and iron—the Vesla Fortress…
From this height, the visual was striking and tragic…
The fortress appeared like a Golden Boat struggling to stay afloat amidst a vast, suffocating ocean of Black Ink…
Despite the Fortress shining like a beacon it still wasn't enough against the Despairing Ash…
