God's will, huh?

　I glared at them.

"All evil shall be destroyed. And our God will reign over all the world, the one absolute being among all the gods.

　Noir, the angel in the black robe, announced cheerfully.

'The only one of the gods, or........'

　In my day, God was considered the only thing that existed.
　At least that's what I was taught when I was a brave man.

There is no concept of 'gods'.

　But it seems that there are multiple gods in this era.
　I wonder what the other gods' stance is towards the demon world.

　Do they see the demon race as an enemy, just like the gods that are attacking them now, and are they trying to destroy the demon world?
　Or is this...?

　No, we'll think about it later.
　For now, we just need to focus on the Apostles first, and then how to surpass the Heavenly Army and the Brave Army.

''Is that an ambition?　One who is with God.

　I look around at the apostles.

'Ambition?　Rude. The powerful have a mission to lead those without. Our God is only trying to take the lead in that.

　Noir glared at me.

"Whoever stands in the way of that higher calling will be avenged by us for God.

　V...........

　With a dull sound, a shining spear appeared in Noir's hand.

　No, it's not just Noir.
　A bow in Rouge's hand, an axe in Verde's hand, and a sword in Blanc's hand.
　They each appeared.

''Meteoblade!''

　I've produced about 50 swords that emit flames.

　This is an apostle.
　I'm not sure I've ever seen him in person, but if he's the next best thing to a god, his ability to fight is hard to guess.

"Go...

　He put strong magic power into each 'meteor blade' and sent all the swords flying towards the four apostles.
　The flaming swords coming at them from all sides.

So much for that!

　Noir and the others play back with their respective weapons.
　As expected, will they surpass this much magic?

''I can sense more magic than Velfer from you you're still hiding your inner workings.

　Noir looked at me.

'It would be the same for you guys.

　I'll be on my guard and look back at them.

　The apostles are responsible for 'replenishing' the power of God to the brave men.
　That means they themselves can receive and exercise God's power, right?

　If so, should we see that they are also equipped with the power of 'rejection'?
　A half-hearted spell cannot be understood.

　The spell to choose here - this is the spell to choose.

'Convergence-type, Void Slash (Vanity Blade)'!

　I converged my magic power and materialized it into a single sword.
　It is a black and purple long sword covered in a crimson lightning bolt.

　It is the most powerful spell in the attack magic in my hand.
　A slash that could cut through even space and destroy everything.

　The drawback was its short reach.
　You can't use it as a flying tool, you have to get close to the opponent until the sword is in time to hit them.

　But the flying tools would only be blocked by their 'rejection' anyway.

　Anyway, I have to close the distance──.
