Young God Divine Armaments Chapter 41

Chapter 41 – Troubles After Troubles

Editor: Deus ex-Machina

It happened in the following days after Brenda was stripped naked (in many different meaning) by that weird conversation which she managed to put stop to and correct in the end.

The shrine was located in a very remote place and is hard to reach that even with the existence of a village that worship the thunder god nearby, the shrine can’t help but to be reduced into ruins from not getting adequately maintained for a long time. The grass overgrown all over the place, the broken pillar and shrine interior being exposed to the sun wind and rain all year long, looking at it ruined condition like this makes one feels melancholy.

With Martina’s guidance, the party walks toward the depth of the shrine.

If normal people see this scene, they would just see an abandoned shrine where debris and rubble lie scattered around. But for Renya, Floria, and Martina’s eyes, it simply just doesn’t seem like that. The three of them can feel an unbearable overpowering aura that makes them shiver.

In the silent shrine, the only sound that can be heard is only the echo of Martina’s voice.

The air warp and swerve like there are haze occurred all over the place. Brenda and Therese’s breath become erratic as if the oxygen in the surrounding air getting thiner.

“Y-yeah…… I never imagined it to be this much”

Renya exhales a deep breath and creates a barrier of his own divine power around himself. It was just like doing arm wrestling. Using one own strength to forcefully push out your opponent’s power. a fight of pure power from up front.

Floria is a goddess herself so other god divine power pressure is not that much trouble for her. But the fact that even Elvira is fine under this suffocating pressure is a surprise for Renya. And Martina really is the real deal herself, to be able to hold her ground like this while she is the closest being to a human. Her boasting about being acquaintance with many gods seems to be not just some bullshit after all.

Eventually, a streak of light surges inside the main altar. The blinding light shines bright as it would burn out the eyes. The party covers their eyes to protect it from the blinding light. As they do that, the air inside the main altar suddenly changes.

A ferocious looking god with glittering spiky blonde hair manifest before Renya party. As he descent, he look closely, no, glaring intensely at Renya party with his sharp gaze. His bared topless chest shows his perfectly tempered muscle and tanned skin that give out an extraordinary sultry feeling to everyone who sees it. The thunder god manifest head first so as his sweltering upper body appears, Renya worried for a moment whether this god only wears fundoshi down there but goodness gracious that it was only his imagination. Alberg actually wears a pair of normal white martial-arts-uniform pants.

“Hihi, even when meeting other god beside daddy for the first time to keep such composure like this. As expected of my hubby”

“Listen witch, I am busy trying to fulfill my promise to a friend. It’s is indeed been a while since your last visit but could you revisit me back at later days?”

“…… Witch, did you know something about that?”

“What did you say!?”

Renya pats Therese’s head to reassure her that everything will gonna be alright. At the same time, he also shots out his own pressure to Alberg so Therese won’t get withered by the thunder god fierce pressure.

“Just as she says, my name is Renya, the war god. It is a fact that I had excavate the ship that is said to be your ‘friend’s’ creation without knowing. That being said ---- this friend of yours intentionally didn’t left any single clue behind so there’s no way I can know this circumstances. If you blame me of being selfishly excavate the ship, I can’t say another thing beside [I’m sorry, I don’t know] you know?”

Well, there’s no way for a normal human to be able to keep their calm and composed self when there is a god appeared before them so blaming Alberg is like barking at the wrong tree. But that logic won’t work on Renya who consider his own party well being as number one priority.

“Then could you do something about that suffocating divine power pressure that was just like trying to kill us? The two beside me here in just a normal human you know? I can’t bear seeing them suffer under the exposure of you overpowering divine power……”

The thunder god boldly states that. Hearing that, Renya strengthen his divine power output to the barrier around him so he can protect the two girls better. Divine power spreads faster if it was through flesh medium so direct contact will strengthen the barrier effects. With that in mind, Renya wraps his left arm to Brenda’s slender waist while his right hand wraps Therese’s shoulder and hugs them closer to him. It was such a delicious situation normally but too bad the situation now doesn’t give any room for Renya to think about that.

“Not only I am a fledging god, I am also a former human you know? So doing things like this is normal for me. And also these two is not a retainer. They are MY WOMAN. I ask you to please refrain yourself from saying like they are just a mere belongings”

For some reason Alberg suddenly praise Renya like that. Renya who doesn’t know why Alberg suddenly praise him like that so he can’t feel happy even one bit about it but because Alberg doesn’t seems to be mad so it should be alright.

Renya is thinking that perhaps next time, it is better to investigate this difference in recognition further to avoid more troubles in the future.

“E-eh? Did I somehow become Renya-niisan’s girlfriend without being aware about it myself desuka?”

Therese innocently asks him about that but Brenda snap back at him while trying to hide her blushed cheek. She seems unable to just ignore Renya’s remarks as she usually does. Maybe it was because she is embraced like this that she fails to do so.

To the two who ask him for explanation in low voice, Renya just avoid answering and persuade them to just deal with it for now. It is unclear whether the word he says was Renya’s own true feeling or just a means to fool Alberg. Only Renya knows the truth for it.

“Well then, the introduction is done. Now let’s move to the main topic shall we? Can you teach us the reason of why you wake up from your slumber and manifest again in this world Alberg? To be honest, having you guys from the divinity to descent once again in this mortal plane is quite taxing to this old body of mine”

‘Such a troublesome mortal’ as Alberg ends his rebut to Martina’s fishy protest while smiling bitterly and shaking his head from feeling troubled.

“As expected of the witch who can even outwit a god with her brain! Such a sharp insight you have there. Just as you have guessed, I have re-descent to this world to fulfill my last promise to the man I once called a friend on the day he exiled from this world. He had entrusted me with his wish regarding the ship. If there comes a time when the ship awakens somehow, he asks me to evaluate the new owner ability. He must have been changed to a better man at his last hours to worry about the possibility of disaster that might’ve caused by his divine armament. That kind of wish, there’s no way I could deny that!”

Renya definitely won’t say out loud his personal opinion just now.

Irikutta had managed to leave behind sparks of trouble even in his very last second. For this kind of impulsive and straightforward kind of god, ‘evaluating ability’ could only be mean one thing. And it seems like everyone else had noticed the same thing.

(((((See that? As expected, right?)))))

After all the trouble to find that ruins that not even leaving any clues in the history timeline then comes conquering that death-trap-filled-to-the-brim labyrinth full with danger.

When they finally managed to persuade the manager spirit and finally get the ship for their own, now the thunder god take notice of them.

The amusement god had actually prepares a threefold trap for them like this. And to think that god left this trap just because of his deceitful nature makes it seems too much scary. The gods of old really did a good job in banishing this source of evil.

But the one that the thunder god challenges now isn’t a human. He is also not just an ordinary god.

He was a human who ascend into being a war god after beating down the previous war god in a fair match! No matter how unreasonable it was, he won’t step back from any challenges that come to him.

When he fight the previous war god, the god’s realm was set so that he won’t die even if he suffers lethal wounds.

Well, if they face each other as mutual enemies then the god’s realm would become a cruel stage where a pure kill or be killed fight unfold.

After saying that, with a humph, the thunder god stomp hard the area in front of him with his right leg. At that moment, the scenery around them changes abruptly.

“Don’t let your women follower to step out from that circle. I won’t take any responsibility if they got harmed by the shockwave”

“Renya~~! Fight~~!”

“Renya-sama, I wish you luck in this battle. I believe you will come out victorious”

The four girls give out encouragement in their own way but it still made Renya feel good inside. When he think about it, even if he search until the very corner of his memory when he was still a human, there are no memories of having such beautiful women cheer him wholeheartedly like this. If he turned back to answer their cheer, he will definitely break into a smile so he refrain from doing so and keep on walking forward. He just answers them by rising his right fist up in the air, showing his intention to win this ‘war’.

And for Martina, She seems unable to hide her excitement from being able to witness a match between gods again after a few decades. Moreover, Renya is a god that comes from another world! What kind of authority he had or how will he fight, it was something unknown for her and the unknown only excite her curiosity which had long been silent. Interest and expectation makes her unable to control her own feeling and her gaze is now sparkling like a little kid when getting a new toy. The girls’ viewer seat is not too far yet not to close from where Renya and Alberg face each other.

As a thunder god, of course his main weapon will be lightning. Even stupid people could guess that.

Facing against such opponent, minding too much on attack range is the stupid battle tactics. The key of this battle is on how Renya could avoid the lightning attacks and how he can get a clean hit with his divine armaments. Creating those chances to win is also connected to the art of war.

“Okay then I will take up to your offer and gladly lend your hand then senpai”

“So that title of war god is not just empty words. That fighting spirit, that valor, that divine power, those qualities are not in the least inferior from a natural born god”

That figure that has been burned in his eyes probably won’t be forgotten even if thousands of years pass.

Renya never think of living all his life in the battlefield like his predecessor. Even as a god, Renya aware that a battlefield isn’t always the only place to ends one life.

Not only just pursuing strength.

He will keep on fighting to chase on that back that is seems unreachable.

Alberg unleash his divine power, made it spiraling like a drill, then turn it into a golden ki that envelopes his own body.

And the divine power that blowing back that golden torrent of divine power is yet gold colored also.

“I, the War God Renya, from now on, will become the blade that would bring down the god before me. Don’t you dare to belittle me Thunder God!”

The misfortune fate that was caused by the amusement god’s mischief had brought forth a great battle between two gods.

Author notes: Envelopes oneself in fighting ki before the fight is the golden rule since the old age.

Battle story is not that epic without them!
