System: Daily login!!, jackpot on the first day!!!-Chapter 330 - Talk No Jutsu

The moment the fallen goddess uttered her command, the battlefield surged to life.

The Erinyes, their bodies once broken and lifeless, now moved with an unnatural vigor, their eyes burning with a crimson glow. Their wings, once tattered, now flared with black fire, and their shrieks filled the air with a maddening chorus of rage.

Taufik’s gaze remained locked on the fallen goddess, his mind analyzing every movement. She’s not just resurrecting them; she’s reforging them; this made Taufik realize.

Their bodies weren’t merely healed; they were remade, stronger, and more resistant than before. They’ve become an Undead.

Aksara wasted no time. He darted forward, his SwordMagic: Light Form igniting his Ninjato blade.

A streak of golden brilliance cut through the battlefield as he slashed at the first Erinyes that lunged at him.

His Ninjato severed its head cleanly, but instead of collapsing, the creature’s decapitated body twisted unnaturally, grabbing him with clawed hands.

"Tsk!"

Aksara gritted his teeth as he leaped back, shaking off the grasping limbs.

"These things don’t die properly anymore"

Aksara muttered as he saw this view that defies the laws of life itself.

Taufik stepped beside him, his presence emanating an aura of absolute darkness.

Changes slowly began to occur in Taufik’s body, horns grew from his head, and his clothes were covered by tendrils of shadow-like substance that formed into an exoskeleton, almost covering his whole body, seeing the changes that occurred to his father, Aksara was a little surprised because he was still not used to seeing his father’s appearance like this.

Taufik then handed his Katana to Aksara, and then with a grin, he said.

"Then let’s make sure they stay down"

Taufik then extended his hand, and his Concept, Darkness, surged forth. Shadows coiled around the fallen Erinyes, consuming them entirely.

Unlike Aksara’s attacks, Taufik’s power didn’t just destroy the body, it devoured their very essence, leaving nothing to resurrect.

Seeing this, The fallen goddess narrowed her ember-like eyes.

"So... You are the one they fear" Find more chapters on novelbuddy

"They are? Don’t worry, I get that a lot"

Taufik said while smirking.

Then, With a flick of his wrist, the darkness around him exploded outward, swallowing another wave of Erinyes.

But the fallen goddess didn’t falter. Instead, she raised her chained arms, and an oppressive force slammed into the battlefield. The ground cracked, and black tendrils of divine energy erupted from beneath it.

"!!!"

Taufik and Aksara barely evaded as massive obsidian chains lashed toward them, the weight of divine punishment embedded in every strike.

"*Tch* these chains are divine constructs!"

Taufik muttered, his body moving on instinct to dodge.

"Isn’t it designed to bind gods, but why this one can still move this freely? What happens in this Tartarus?"

Aksara spun through the air, cutting through a chain mid-strike. But instead of breaking, the severed link reformed instantly, lashing back at him like a viper.

’Not like this... We can’t just brute-force through this’

Taufik’s mind raced. He could destroy the Erinyes with his Concept power, but the fallen goddess was a different story. She wasn’t just wielding divine chains, she was bound by them.

"Aksara, keep them busy for a moment"

Taufik said. And Aksara scoffed.

"Yeah? And what are you-"

"Trust me"

Aksara clicked his tongue at his father’s word but still nodded, then dashed forward, engaging the risen Erinyes with a series of rapid strikes.

Meanwhile, Taufik focused on the fallen goddess.

"... You’re not fully free, are you?"

Taufik said, stepping closer.

"Those chains, you’re using them against us, but they’re also holding you down, right... How so?"

Hearing that, The goddess’ smirk twitched.

Bullseye.

Taufik’s guess was correct, which made his grin widen.

"Who are you, really? What did you lose to end up like this?"

Hearing that, For the first time, the goddess hesitated. Then...

*CRACK!*

Aksara’s blade found its mark, slicing deep into an Erinyes’ core. The creature screeched before imploding into nothingness.

Taufik took the chance.

"I have an offer"

Taufik said, his voice carrying the weight of the abyss.

"You want freedom, don’t you? I can give it to you"

The fallen goddess froze. The chains around her rattled violently, reacting to her hesitation.

Taufik extended his hand. With his current appearance, Taufik looks more like a Demon than a Demon himself.

A Demon who is trying to seduce his target. With a grin on his face, Taufik said.

"... Join me... And I’ll give you the freedom you want"

Hearing that, For the first time, true uncertainty flickered in her burning gaze.

--------

After Taufik said that, The battlefield was silent for a moment, tension thick in the air.

The only sounds were the sound of the fallen Erinyes’s body and the rattle of the divine chains that bound the fallen goddess.

Aksara, panting from the relentless combat, glanced at his father. His grip on his Ninjato tightened.

"You’re trying to recruit her? Are you insane, Father?!"

Taufik heard that, but he didn’t look back. His eyes remained locked on the goddess, reading every subtle shift in her expression.

"… Maybe"

Taufik admitted with a smirk. Then continued.

"But I’ve found that sometimes, the most dangerous allies make the best ones... I learn that from a certain yellow Ninja I know" (:v)

# A/N - "You know if You Know"

The fallen goddess clenched her fists. The chains around her wrists pulsed, tightening as if sensing The Fallen Goddess’s hesitation.

A pain crossed her face, but it was gone in an instant.

"You speak of freedom..."

The Fallen Goddess said, her voice layered with both mockery and longing. Then Said again.

"... But what do you know about the feeling of being bound? Of being forsaken? Being watched all the time?"

Taufik’s smirk didn’t fade. Being bound? No, he never, forsaken? He doesn’t know, but being watched? He knew how that felt better than anyone.

"... More than you think"

With a single step forward, his shadow extended, writhing like living tendrils toward her.

The divine chains reacted violently, glowing with an intense golden radiance, fighting against the encroaching darkness.

Aksara braced himself, ready to jump in at any moment. The fallen goddess raised a hand as if to strike. Then stopped.

The chains around her wrists trembled. A silent war waged within her, between the divine shackles that kept her bound and the temptation of freedom standing before her.

"You…"

The Fallen Goddess whispered, her ember-like eyes narrowing.

"You would defy the gods themselves for this offer?"

Hearing that, Taufik chuckled. Defy the gods?

’... I even defy the fate you know?’

"... Sweetheart, I already have... Every time~"

Hear that, Something snapped inside The Fallen Goddess.

*Crack!*

The divine chains screeched as cracks formed along their surface. The goddess’s aura flared, dark and furious, yet filled with something else.

Hope, it’s hope, something that she has forgotten, and thought that she would never feel it again.

Then, she made her choice.

"If you can break my chains…"

The Fallen Goddess murmured, stepping closer. Then said.

"... Then I will follow you, O Darkness Sovereign"

Taufik grinned, his power surging, although he didn’t know why his name suddenly became Darkness Sovereign.

"... Now we’re talking"

--------

After the successful [Talk No Jutsu], The Fallen Goddess released her Spell or whatever it was she did to the Erinyes, causing the Erinyes to fall lifeless again.

Besides that, there was someone who also fell, exhausted, Aksara, who was lying tiredly on the ground with messy breathing, with a Ninjato and a black Katana in each hand.

"... It is hurt?"

"No, I’m just a little tired, Fath-"

Aksara said, but stopped when he turned to look at his father. It turned out that the question was not directed at him but at The Fallen Goddess, and this immediately made Aksara speechless.

’... Is he really my Father?’

"... It hurts, but I can still bear it because I’m used to this pain"

"Heh~ Is it because it’s been too long? How long have you actually been locked up here?"

Taufik asked while looking at the chains that bound the hands of the Fallen Goddess which stretched down until they were out of sight.

"... I don’t really remember how long, I’ve been thrown here since we lost the Titanomachy war to the Olympus Party... Forget about me, and tell me how are you going to remove these Chains?"

Said the Fallen Goddess, then looked at Taufik with a cynical look and continued speaking in a threatening tone.

"... You better not lie to me... If you can’t remove this chain, then you better prepare for the consequence"

"Aicc~ I can even cut a soul without any physical harm... Something like this is easy... It might just offend Hades a little, but that’s not a problem for me"

Said Taufik, then looked at his son who was still lying on the ground.

"Aksa, stop lying on the ground like that, come here and give me my Katana"

Hearing that, Aksara could only sigh, forcing his tired body to stand up, walking towards his father, and then handing him his Katana.
