157 – Recapture of Fellowship (2)
“Shit…!”
The short swear words resound with an annoying high pitch.
The person who uttered the words is Noah, who is running away from Faust.
Running away seems quite filthy and cowardly, but running away is definitely a part of the strategy and the most important operation second only to attack and defense, so Noah doesn’t feel ashamed of it.
Of course, it’s not shameful, but it doesn’t change that I feel like a dog.
‘…That son of a bitch, I don’t know what the heck he’s up to, but the fact that he interferes with me doesn’t change.’
Noah thinks of Faust.
Contrary to what he knew, Faust acted frivolously.
Faust, who acted as if he did not know what he and Faust knew.
Faust, the strength he knew had suddenly disappeared.
Besides that, there are so many different corners between the Faust he knew and the Faust he just saw.
But… Noah is sure.
That the Faust of today is the Faust of the past.
That Faust was aiming for something and pretending to be such an idiot.
Realizing this, Noah stopped fighting Faust on the spot and chose to escape like this. Of course, even if Faust behaved normally, he would have escaped.
‘For now… let’s go retrieve the fragments of Faust.’
While running away, Noah thinks of the best route to confront Faust.
For example, the issue of family members.
Strong people don’t make good people.
It’s not that he doesn’t make a follower because he likes being alone, but because the follower becomes a shackle to the strong.
As a member of his household, he resembles his master in many ways, so if he captures his family, it is useful in many ways when attacking his master.
Through various experiments, it is possible to find out how to attack the owner, and if the body fragments of the member are made into equipment, the member and the owner have many similar characteristics, so it is possible to easily break through the owner’s defense system. do.
Above all, in the system of this world, the stronger the master’s power becomes, the more his subordinates are rescue machines that take more power from the master, and if it is a moderately strong person who needs quantity, it is overwhelming enough to eliminate the need for quantity. The strong don’t try to make a clan.
Noah of the past and now was like that, and Faust of the past was like that too.
But now Faust is behaving in the complete opposite of what he had been doing in the past. Aren’t you wasting your strength needlessly by making your own people?
For Noah, there is no greater opportunity than this.
If he captures his followers and finds a strategy to defeat Faust, Noah will be able to realize his utopia.
“Faust, for you to gather an army of this size, it must be that I have been sleeping for too long.”
Above all, since Faust’s followers are scattered everywhere, collecting guinea pigs is very easy.
That army that appears from the sky and declares a holy war on everything on the ground to attack them all belongs to Faust’s family.
Of course, the level of reverse engineering through the body of the follower is quite low, as there is no catch and everything is just a joke, but it can be covered sufficiently if the amount of captives increases.
Having come to that conclusion, Noah targets the army that is enforcing the faith of Faust while conquering people. Of course, before that, Noah would have to have a hiding place where he could hide completely.
‘First, find another god to live on… Huh?’
“—-Lucia-sama is her apostle!!”
At that moment, in Noah’s eyes, a huge lion with the energy of Faust is caught attacking the ground with countless angels, and as soon as Noah sees it, he discards the plan he just made.

“Faust, Miss Faust…”
Meanwhile, Flora is intimidated.
Because his owner rejected Flora’s touch and left the place.
Of course, Flora did not think that the abduction of Faust would last forever. What power could Flora have to keep such a great and powerful master in captivity forever?
But no matter how much it was, I never dreamed that they wouldn’t even allow me to mix their bodies.
Flora didn’t know that she wouldn’t give her even 10 minutes, no, even 5 minutes.
Flora looks down at her body and laments.
“What, this… didn’t make any sense.”
Faust always took the form of a beautiful girl after the many women he kept by his side, but Faust never lusted after his own image.
Realizing this, Flora feels depressed because of the emptiness that engulfs her heart.
He thought he would get what he wanted if he forcibly kidnapped him and rubbed his body against him, but in fact, he only bought a lot of hostility.
“…No, not yet.”
However, Flora, whose way of thinking has been transformed by the god of light, does not give up.
In a physical sense, in order to dedicate one body to serve the master, to deliver the divine power of light, which symbolizes the ruler of the world, to the master, he begins to think of all kinds of means.
“Flora-sama, you’re back—-… well, what are you doing?”
The aura that surrounds Flora is quite dangerous, to the point that even Nero, who has returned to explain his next destination after finishing his schedule, momentarily shuts his mouth and stays still.
Flora thinks.
A way to convey the divine power of light to Faust.
How to bestow innumerable glory on Faust.
How everyone in the world will serve Faust.
A way to exterminate all other gods and give Faust the place of the only god.
And… how she herself could connect with Faust.
“…good.”
After a long time passed without realizing it, Flora finally nodded and put a small smile on her face after finishing her thoughts.
First of all, the gods, that is to say, all beings with divine status are attacked and dealt with.
If there is only one god that can be served, there will be no need to go around the world and convert one by one, and Faust will be the only god and will be served by everyone.
Above all, Faust will not leave Flora, who has made such an achievement, unattended. Since all masters have to repay the achievements of their subordinates, it can also lead to Faust.
“Have you finished your thoughts?”
“Ah, Nero. Welcome back. We need to raise an army again.”
“Where are you this time?”
After calculating all these facts, Flora assigns the next target and gives orders to the heavenly forces.
Even though Flora’s direction may have been twisted, Nero obediently follows Flora’s orders because he knows that it is ultimately for the sake of his two masters, Faust and Lucia. Of course, the fact that Flora has more time is also a reason.
“Go to Regin Kingdom, which serves the metal god, and kill the god served by the earthlings. Just looking at it will make you lose your faith.”
“It’s going to be a little tough this time. Of course you’ll win.”
Nero agrees to Flora’s orders.
It’s a bit quicker to kill the gods already than what needs to be done step by step, but it’s something that should have been done at some point anyway. Nero has no doubts about killing the gods first, since doing things a little faster first doesn’t change what ultimately needs to be done.
It is because not only Flora but also Nero want to make Faust the only god by killing all the gods in the world.
For such a great master to be on the same level as the other gods, it is absolutely absurd.
“Okay, then…”
After leaving Nero, Flora, who is left alone again, falls into endless thoughts again in the paradise of dreams that looks like a painting.
Thinking of all sorts of things, how to give glory to Faust and how to be ‘rewarded’ by Faust.
‘…found.’
And Noah observes Flora, who has fallen into a world of her own, from afar.
After being possessed by a lower angel, Noah breaks into Kael using the moment the angel enters Kael and is convinced of Flora.
That this woman is in a key position in ruling the Fausts’ family.
Of course, he is not in a position to supervise all his followers, but this is still a powerful enough material to reach the source and weakness of Faust.
Fittingly, as Flora is so strong that even Noah can’t touch it, Noah doesn’t go out forcefully and starts to make a meticulous work plan to make Flora move according to his will.
