The Return Of Neptune Part II
Neptune POV
"..." I glared daggers at Arfoire as I held her spear steadfast with two fingers, scowling at her and standing protectively above Nepgear. More effect to that was added as the red lightning flashed across, showing my half-shadowed face for a split second, even more scarier than my un-shadowed face.
The only thing from her that satisfied me currently was the fear in her eyes. I'm not surprised, considering all the killer intent I'm releasing right now is directed only towards her.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I could see Nepgear looking at me in absolute shock, surprise and wonder, plus many other emotions mixed in like anger, sadness, relief and happiness. Noire, Blanc, Vert, Uni, Rom & Ram were no different from Nepgear, their mouths agape and their eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.
"... *Sigh* Look, I know all of you want an explanation right now, but lets leave it for later once I'm done dealing with the old hag, "I said to them, before returning my attention to Arfoire, who turned out to be struggling to get her weapon away from my two-finger grip on it.
I frowned at the sight a little, but the frown generally turned into a huge, cheeky grin. Looks like the training really did pay off, huh? I was now this strong in my HDD, not even in my NEXT Gen Form. And I was able to go against even the reincarnate of the Deity of Sin like this, which I was willing to bet a million credits was a whole lot stronger than Arfoire, even if technically the soul of the Deity of Sin was residing within Arfoire's body, which I was holding off against right now. But it still made her a whole lot more stronger.
I then suddenly let go of Arfoire's weapon, which caused her to fall backwards because of the strength she was using to get back her weapon. Using the opportunity, I flicked her on her forehead with only a 50th of my strength, and the results were disastrous. Both figuratively and literally.
*CRASH!*
And that's because my 'attack' had sent Arfoire flying straight into a mountain of abandoned game consoles.
"...I certainly didn't expect that, not even myself," Again, out of the corner off my eye, I could see Nepgear and the others eyes widening to as large as dinner plates, if they could widen even more further of course.
I watched, bemused, as Arfoire stood up groggily, stumbling around a bit from the force.
Hmm... so my offense has become this strong, huh? Maybe I should strain my body a little and test my defense... I thought quite smugly, since my defense only lost to my offense by a fraction, with a smug grin plastered on my face.
I stood stone still as Arfoire rushed at me with her spear raised and about to strike.
(Cue shattering noise of Arfoire's double-bladed spear)
"...Really? It shattered?" Arfoire's weapon didn't land even the slightest scratch on me, only shatter upon making contact with my skin. And I didn't even activate "Barrier".
"W-W-Wha-" Arfoire was slowly backing away from grinning me, as my eyes flickered from blue to blood-red.
"W-What are... you...?" She finished, fear evident in her eyes as she stepped back further from me.
I took a step closer to her for every step she took away from me, my eyes now fully blood-red, no longer blue, filled with murderous intent, "What... am I?" I chuckled at that question. It'd been so long since I got to boast, maybe I could use this chance.
"I'm the CPU of Planeptune, the one your servant CFW Magic killed three years ago..."
Arfoire seemed to gulp.
"...You might as well say I've come back to life to get my revenge..."
I clenched my fists tight.
"...but that isn't the case, I wasn't even dead that time, I've only been training under the watchful eye of my mentor..."
This seemed to surprise everyone behind me. I had a mentor? I could hear them thinking.
"...And now, I have returned, mainly to come back to my friends, my family, my nation, my world..."
I stopped dead in my tracks as I stared down Arfoire, whose legs were slightly trembling from fear of the murderous intent I was leaking out.
"...And also to eliminate any threat that threatens Gamindustri..."
"...And right now, I shall have to eliminate you, for you are a threat to Gamindustri as of right now, Deity of Sin..."
"N-No! Wait!" Arfoire screamed when I summoned my sword, my blood-red eyes glowing with the murderous intent within.
"...I'm tired of all this talk now. Let me just say this last sentence before I execute you though; You're merely paying a price for the sins you have done, even Gods nor Goddesses can escape the retribution awaiting them for the evil deeds they have committed before dying..."
"...One last piece of advice from me if you reincarnate again; Never deceive yourself in life, Retribution knows whom to seek, Good or Evil deeds, you'll be judged, Sooner or Later, only a matter of time..."
"And right now, your time is up. Maybe I'll visit you in the 18 Levels of Hell once I send you there. That place might not exist in this dimension, but I acquired the trust from the ruler of that particular Hell enough for him to give me access to teleport sinners there whenever I want. Also he gave me a gift that allows me to go there whenever I want too, of course,"
I straightened myself and readied my blade.
"N-N-No...! Please, w-wait! AHHHHH!" Arfoire, or rather the Deity of Sin, turned tail and ran, or in this case flew, fearing for her life.
I lightly swung my blade in the direction where she was flying, and she turned back one last time with a face scribbled full with fear.
The force from my blade cut cleanly through her torso and the rest of the mountains within the Gamindustri Graveyard behind her, emitting a one second delayed shockwave that forced the others behind me to shield themselves with their arms, which didn't push them back that much since they were all still lying on the ground injured and without any strength remaining inside of them.
"..." I stayed silent as I closed my eyes, focused in transporting the Deity of Sin to the Ten Courts of Hell where she'll be judged to which level of Hell they would send her to.
Once I was done with that, I opened my eyes, smiling as my eyes returned back to the normal glowing blue.
"...So..." I turned towards Nepgear and the others, smiling weakly.
"I'm back!"
TADA! XD
Neptune's return is done! :D
Hope you all enjoyed the read! X3
