When I open my eyes again I find myself back at the artificial dimension created by Georg
"Issei-san! Are you alright!?" - I finally hear the voices of my friends as Asia relentlessly tugs in my arm
I look around, everyone seems to be fine, though they are looking concerned at me
"Y-yes, I'm alright, but... Tatseyo!"
I look in Tatseyo's direction, Cao Cao has True Longinus raised towards him, who's covering his face with his hands, looking to be in tremendous pain
"Everyone be careful! I think something terrible is about to take control of him!"
They all look at me confused
"Tatseyo? Something taking control of him?"
"Issei, what happened while you were there?!"
Kiba asks me, but before I can start to formulate a coherent answer a shattering laughter breaks out and sends a shiver down my spine
This voice
I recognize this voice
It's not Tatseyo's voice
I look away from my friends, following the direction of their terrified eyes
Tatseyo stands up surrounded by the Hero Faction, his body emanating a crimson aura, a red third eye sits on his forehead.
{HAHAHAHAHA! Once again free to walk this world! And in the body of a proper vessel no less! What a joyous occasion!}
Everyone looks nervous towards the possessed body of Tatseyo, now speaking in a terryfing voice.
The power he exudes is so enormous I can feel myself shaking, there's no way we can fight this thing.
"W-what's happening? Why is Tatseyo-san talking like that?" - Asia mutters
"That aura... when did Tatseyo get an aura like that?" - Xenovia asks and I shake my head
"That's what I'm trying to say, that's not Tatseyo!" - I exclamate
"Issei, I know the answer might be long, but tell us at least what the hell is that thing."
Rossweisse-san asks
I find myself lost in thought as to how I could even define that creature without making a speech.
Eventually, however, the words I find most appropriate come to mind and I blurt them out
"It's the god of espers... I think"
At my answer everyone's eyes go wide
"God of.... espers?"
"What you mean? He created the espers?" - Rossweisse asks
"Issei, what is it that you saw?" - Kiba asks looking at me
They all look troubled for a moment and then Rossweisse shakes her head as if accepting this as a reality
"I know we're all curious, but I don't think we have time for Issei to answer all these questions, so I'll just accept it for now. But... a god? Compared to that bastard former boss of mine, what would you say our chances are?"
I shake my head, remembering it's fight against the Son of God and comparing the power I saw Odin display with Gungnir, even then it wasn't even close
"None. I don't think we'd be able to even scratch him."
I say with the most certainty I'm capable of mustering, there's no way we can defeat this thing.
