Lightning Empress Maid Chapter 114

Lightning ran everywhere, in every direction.

to the ends of the earth~

It isn’t the blue I’m used to, nor the familiar black, it is just the platinum that kills G.o.ds. This platinum lightning that was born from this body gives me a certain conviction. I can kill them with this. I can reach it with this. Reach the ending he wished for, the world he asked Nanaki to show him. So let’s go, to obtain that.

dream

For that, first, yes——

“You are in the way. Almagia=Eldan.”

so begone

The great spear of platinum lightning warped s.p.a.ce and ate into the world. The racing, rampaging, raging silver lightning kept amplifying its power as if it still wasn’t enough. This is not an imitation of the G.o.ds’ magic, but the G.o.d’s magic that the G.o.ds use. Nanaki has obtained the power that people have feared and wanted more than anything else. No other than this Nanaki has obtained it.

no one else deserves it

‘——because you are a special human.’

Nanaki wa ganbatta

Ah, that’s right. Mother was always right and taught Nanaki that.

for Nanaki tolive

Nanaki doesn’t know about the world that has been lost. The knowledge gained from books, the history learnt from Envy, in the end they are nothing but fragments of the world. Humans have lost too much to gather those fragments and restore that lost world. So nothing is known anymore about the world that existed a thousand years ago.

lost age

But, there is just one thing that even Nanaki knows.

that it was lost

In that age of grief when everything was being destroyed, without being able to do anything, humans died, countries perished and the world lost. Were humans, angry? At the G.o.ds. Did humans, resent? The G.o.ds. In the end, did humans pray? To the G.o.ds.

ofc not

The answer, is right here. With the name of Nanaki.

kill the G.o.ds

A thousand years has pa.s.sed since the age of grief, the days you were trampled by the G.o.ds. Humans, be proud. That in that age when you couldn’t resist, you felt anger. That you bore resentment. For wishing for a power to kill the G.o.ds and reaching out to magic. That you did not give up on the revival of humanity in that world that you were losing.

and now~

After eternity and many sacrifices, just one person has reached it. This is enough, leave the rest to Nanaki. That anger, that resentment, that wish you had a thousand years ago, Nanaki shall fulfill it. Although it was because of the flow of events, I have taken on that dear wish for the recovery of humanity. My master aims for glory as a human, without humans, the existence of a hero is impossible.

need someone to do the praising

Here, I will thrust the spear of the beginning.

begin~

“Diving Lightning Strike——‘Eden Penetrate-And, Humanity Wished for Paradise'”

even if it is not achievable

This is, an attack of pride carrying the revival of humanity. This is the thousand year anger and resentment of humanity that has been pa.s.sed down since the far distant past. And also, a wish. As if responding to those feelings, the rampaging platinum lightning condensed. It has already abandoned it’s form as lightning and sublimed into a spear of that desire.

in a sense, sin

“——‘World Down-G.o.ds, Begone'”

bye

As the spear of desire put cracks into the world, I directed it towards the old G.o.d.

no. 1

In that instant, I heard pointless words.

“Humans, do you understand——“

what

Those.

too late

“Do you really understand, what you have created?”

Nanaki?

And the spear of desire pierced the two. The old presumptuous G.o.d, and the world. The stale G.o.d dropped into the hole in the broken world. This Nanaki shall answer that last question towards humanity.

none of

“That is not something for G.o.ds to worry about.”

your business

Humans can live sufficiently well. So, please rest a.s.sured and disappear. In that hole opened up in the world, feel the anger of humanity and disappear.

bye

“Goodbye, Almagia=Eldan”

intermission

intermission

For a while, I was immersed in this inhuman sensation. I see, I can see why the three great G.o.ds were wary of this. As expected of Nanaki, a special existence.

sasuga~

But still, I can’t just stand here forever. The battle in the capital is still continuing. In that case, I must fulfil my duty as the Lightning Empress.

back to work

“Now then”

poof

With this only one of the three great G.o.ds remain. Humans have finally put the G.o.ds that ended the G.o.d world war in check. But that last of the three great G.o.ds is the well-known destruction G.o.d, on top of that, considering that he has joined forces with Leon, it cannot be taken lightly.

irritating

And so Nanaki will take this chance to get used to this power. Even if Leon is used as a vessel, it should take some time. Just like how I can expect them to be at their best, Nanaki must also prepare to meet them with full power. As expected even this Nanaki still doesn’t know how to control this power. Let’s be as careful as possible.

don’t blow up the world

“Na——”

(T/N: Wha——-)

I first headed to my beloved sister. Nanakismile for my sister clad in red knight armour and h.e.l.lfire that turns all to ash. Look look Envy, Nanaki looks strong right?

yep

“——……naki?”

yes

Before Envy finished saying that name, I pierced all the G.o.ds there with platinum lightning. Disposing of the G.o.ds is enough, the human vessels can be left to Envy.

bugs

“That power……that appearance is……”

“Fufun, cool right?”

“…….haah, Nanaki is just Nanaki. It was a waste to worry. How did this happen?”

“I tried becoming G.o.d a little.”

“You did it huuh…….”

“I did it.”

gj

Putting aside Envy who for some reason was pressing down on her temples and sighing, honestly speaking, Nanaki doesn’t like that Nanaki’s prided black hair has become the direct opposite, platinum hair. There is also the uncertainty about whether it will properly return to normal once divine arms manifestation is cancelled.

dye it?

And so, it seems that it would be best to quickly get the situation under control in order to confirm it. In my current state, my perception range is incomparable to before. Position, condition, I can understand all of it as if they are within my grasp.

what kinda expression is that

“Then Envy, see you again later.”

“Ah, yeah.”

byebye~

I bowed to my sister that was tired out for some reason and left. Tracking down all the enemies I can detect, I raced through the capital as platinum lightning. I released platinum lightning, avoiding just the fighting imperial knights and magicians. Suddenly, someone’s muttering entered my ears.

“——Nanaki-sama?”

yes~

Ah, that’s right. Lightning Empress Nanaki is here.

hi~

Nanaki shall respond to that mutter, that look of expectation. That is the duty and responsibility of those known as transcended ones. But, don’t misunderstand. It is not for the Emperor, nor for the Empire, this power is only for my master. And for Nanaki’s own path. If you understand that, then ask for help as much as you like.

andhelp will come

——because that is also a promise with Mother.

to help others

“What does Nanaki intend to do about the Emperor……the Empire?”

“That is for master to decide, Envy.”

so ask him

Soon, all the enemies that attacked the capital have disappeared and Envy appeared before Nanaki.

hi sis~

“But, I think we probably will not fight anymore. So, in order to decide that——”

“Negotiations, I know.”

“Yes, please”

leave it to Envy

With this, I can finally walk on with him.

together

In the future, what will there be in the world he will show me. I can’t help looking forward to it. Of course, there are still existences left that can be a threat. But, Nanaki will brush away all of that. From now on, I will retrieve the age of humans that has been stolen.

(T/N: 驚異(kyoui)/miracle/wonder was used above, I’m a.s.suming it’s typo for 脅威(kyoui)/threat)

——humanity’s revival, all for my master.

Author’s note: Chapter Seven -end-

Author-sama please, I feel really ridiculous translating the skill names(?). Eden Penetrate? Seriously? It’s even written in kana so there’s no room for interpretation.
