Demon Lord's Reincarnation

The Goddess of Light was back in her residence in the astral plane. She was trying to recover her divine energy which she expended on the fight with Ren. She needed to quickly recover so that the moment Ren comes back she would definitely kill him then.

'Damn it, he was so much stronger than I expected.' As the Goddess of Light was getting angry while remembering Ren's face, and the smile he kept on showing as he fought, she suddenly felt a divine presence coming towards her abode. 

"Who dares?!" 

"Hmph, I see that you're still alive Jeniffer. I guess that you were lucky." A woman with equal beauty to the Goddess of Light Jeniffer appeared. She was wearing silver armor and holding a long halberd in her right hand. The halberd was glowing bright and was three times taller than the lady holding it. 

"So it's you Tiditte." The Goddess of Light almost sounded like she growled as she spoke the Goddess of Justice's name. 

"It's not just her here, I'm here as well." Another person came forward, this time it was a man wearing fearsome-looking armor while wielding an enormous Warhammer. This was the God of War Hieus. 

"Even you are here, Hieus. Have the two come here to eliminate me? How hilarious, the Goddess of Justice and the God of War teaming up just to defeat a weakened me. I thought that you two had more pride than that?" Even though she was mocking them, Jeniffer was thinking about how to escape her current predicament. Since the two of them were able to easily enter her abode, that would mean her divine energy had depleted to such a state that other World Deities can now enter her personal space. 

"Hmph, I have never struck down an opponent that has already been wounded." Tiditte looked at Jeniffer with her cold soul-shaking eyes. 

"I may have once been called a coward by the most powerful man to have ever lived, but I would never think of attacking a weakened opponent, that's not cowardly that's just shameful. Well, it's not like I'm still called as such, and even then, it was only that guy that has ever called me a coward." Hieus responded while looking at the distance reminiscing about a past that has long been forgotten by even time itself. 

"So if you two are not here to finish me off, then what have come here to do? Did you come to make fun of me? For I a world deity to be beaten by a mortal man." 

"Truth be told, the moment I sensed the barrier in your residence disappearing I immediately headed here thinking of administering justice upon you. I wanted to kill you since the moment your followers started discriminating against the other races. Yet I could not find your abode no matter how I searched. Also, after thinking for a bit if you as the Goddess of Light dies, the one to most likely replace you would be that head priest of yours and he is even worse than you. So I wanted to tell my followers to annihilate the entirety of your cult-like religion but I could not relay that order. If the price to pay wasn't too huge I would have led my followers to destroy every single one of you sinners." 

"So what are you waiting for? Why tell me all of that, and not just kill me now? Even at my full power, I would be hard-pressed to defeat you, and adding the God of War into the mix would've made it a certainty that I would die." 

"That is true, as you are now, I can finally get rid of you and all that you stand for... But... That would be against his will. He would not like me taking away his prey." 

"Who are you talking about?" 

"As I came closer to your abode I felt the mana of someone familiar. You have fought him have you not?" 

"The only one I have fought was the current incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul. Are you two acquainted?" 

"Our bond is so much more than that. Once upon a time, I was the daughter of one of his past incarnations, I was the adopted daughter of the original Sword Saint, Murosaki Hayato."

"... I see... If what you say is true why change your mind now that you know who had fought me? Shouldn't you want, now more than ever, to kill me?" When Tiditte heard Jeniffer's reply she shook her head. 

"Now that you have been marked by him, your life is no longer mine to take. Surely the current incarnation said something like this, the next time we meet one of us will die, if it's a reincarnation of my father he would surely say something like that. I hope as you await your inevitable demise you would think about all of the sins that you have committed, and regret every decision you have made."

"You make it sound like me dying in his hands is an inevitable reality. Don't you know that it was not I who fled the battle but him?"

"Though fleeing is indeed something he or most of his incarnations wouldn't want to do, they would only do that if they feel that they could have more fun later. I guess while you were fighting him, based on your personality you continued to look down on him and did not go all out. Hmph, he was giving you a chance, so that the next time you face each other you would know that not going all-out is a mistake. If you did not even understand that, then I guess you would lose faster than I anticipated. You may be a sinner that I want dead, but I at least hope that you would be able to entertain him." 

After saying that Tiditte no longer bothered to listen to whatever response Jeniffer had, and simply left the Goddess of Light's abode. Seeing Tiditte leave with her saying those things made Jeniffer gnashed her teeth in frustration as she looked at the other intruder Hieus. 

"So what about you, why did you come here?" Feeling the intense anger and bloodlust Jeniffer was emitting, Hieus shrugged his shoulders before answering. 

"I came here to see how you're doing. I just wanted to see how badly the current incarnation of that battle freak has beaten you up. Well, it was not as satisfying as I hoped it to be. It seems like you didn't take much damage and only lost a portion of your divine energy... Oh right, I also wanted to inform you that I would be watching your next battle personally. Seeing as I'm the God of War, I do need to bless the battlefield between your followers and those under the Strongest Mortal Soul. Don't worry the side I will bless with all my might is your army and I won't bless those under the Strongest Mortal Soul. I decided to take this course of action, seeing as it might turn into a one-sided massacre if I don't do that. So don't worry about your followers retreating because of something like anxiety. The moment they enter the battle with my blessing your army will be able to charge onward without fear." Hieus spoke with a lot of glee, which irritated Jeniffer.

"So you've come here to mock me?" Jeniffer spoke each word with seething rage and a glare that could kill, yet Hieus continued to smile as he responded. 

"Of course, I came to mock you. To see the incarnation of that battle freak mess around with someone other than me is always a fun sight to watch. Not to mention, you were stupid enough to actually face him in battle. Not only that, based on what you said, you had a chance to beat him but you let him go. That was the stupidest thing you might have ever done. That was your only chance to gain victory and you let it slip by, so you deserve whatever's coming to you. That guy no matter the incarnation is someone that becomes stronger for every battle he has faced. So as Tiditte said your demise is inevitable. I just hope the next Deity that gets that title of yours is a better one." 

Hieus laughed a bit as he left, leaving behind the echo of his laughter. Jeniffer clenched her fist as anger swelled within her. 

"Each and every one of you guys looking down on me! Fine, let's see who gets the last laugh!"
