《I Am Not A Humanity's Traitor (Isekai LitRPG)》Chapter 6: The World cannot end
Advertisement
Sent back to their "Masters":
The girl that shot the goddess with a gun just now was............. Rina Akane.
The girl wearing a black eyepatch, covering her right eye.
She just took out a gun from her bag and shot the goddess.
Hearing the sound of the gunshot.
My eyes widened up in realization.
A tiny hope ignited in my chest.
I rose my head with the hope of seeing the Goddess shot in her head.
My lips curled up in anticipation.
.
.
.
.
The faint smile turned into a grit.....That Goddess is still standing. Standing there, cackling in mad glee.
The tiny hope disappears from my eyes. My Legs, shook in terror, knees barely holding up. 'Of course, it won't kill her!' I grimaced.
The gun flew away from Akane's hand and landed on the Goddess's palm.
Still cackling, the Goddess examined the gun with curious eyes.
"Fufufu~ Ruger SR22... huh... Hmm! ~ Low recoil and makes it an ideal Pistol for newbies. How did you obtain it, little one? I thought, I forbid these nasty toys a few decades ago, how did you obtain it? Well, no restrictions can be perfectly followed so... no surprise you still find some of these here and there, but still, such a young child shouldn't be possessing one of these... *gasp* Don't tell me you have been sinning all along?~ I think, I will be a little more strict with the Guardian Associations from now on."
All the life disappeared from Akane-san. She had no resistance left. How else could she resist?
By throwing a fit?
By crying mindlessly?
By begging shamelessly?
Will begging even do something?
How does she have a gun? I don't want to know.
How could she stay calm in such a situation and shoot the Goddess with such steady arms and such an opportunity? An opportunity that showed itself when the Goddess was busy creating the portal, I don't want to know that too.
I just want to know the way out of here, the way to survive..... Or..... to kill them....
"Fufufu~ I never expected an innocent schoolgirl to carry such a dangerous toy! But at least unlike that boring Imposter, you were somewhat interesting. That was some good twist in the monotonous day, wasn't it? Fufufu~"
"But~ if you really wanted to hurt me, you should have tried a railgun instead. Not like they would do any damage? Ah! I forgot they will never be released to the public. Sorry, I spoiled it for you. Ahahaha...fufu~"
"Hah~.....fufu~, now~ enough wasting time, turn around and go inside the portal, will you?"
'I need to do something, I need to escape!'
"Harrison~, Ronald~, escort them inside the portal."
The Apostles standing at the lowest of the stairs nod their heads and march towards us.
TO ESCORT US.
Seeing them come towards here, panic made me step back.
'Think, think, think, think, think...'
'Please don't throw me.'
"P-please don't throw m-me aw-away!" I pleaded.
I raise my arms to prevent them from coming closer to me, all while pleading for my life.
Sigh, as if doing that will make them reconsider.
A poor boy in fear of death is Pleading for his life.
The boy,
weak
and shaking, crying, begging for his life....
.......... At least that's what they must be thinking as I've raised my arms aiming towards them.
They are the Apostles of that Bitch, but they still are living beings. I may not be able to kill them right away, and my skill might kill them after I am already dead, so what? I don't care if I die right now. I will at least take one of them with me.

But there is one 'what if' that concers me.
What if my skill won't work on them?
Screw that.
As soon as they come near my skill's range, I will.... Shit, My range is 60cm, an extremely low range......but...
*step* *step*
They are just a few steps away from my skill's range.
*step* *step*
Now... They are in my RANGE...
"Please don't...." I inhaled, "
'Huh???????????'
'wha?' wha?..... I can't speak!'
"I~ said~ shut up and turn around and walk inside that portal~" The bitch, said exasperatedly.
wha?
Why are my legs turning towards the portal?
'I don't want to go. I don't want to go. I don't want to go!!'
BUT WHY? BUT WHY? BUT WHY? BUT WHY?
Why are my feet turning around? Why am I walking towards that death portal? Why isn't my body listening to me?
'Why does it feel like I am, being controlled by someone else?'
'!?...!? controlled by someone else!?'
'..... that fucking!!!! Goddess!!!'
I can't even speak.
She has complete control over my body!
My legs moved on their own in the direction I don't want them to.
There are only a few steps remaining till I enter that portal.
The thought of dying accelerated my heart breath, my lungs gasped for air.
NO, NO, aaaarrrr
' AAArrrrggggghhhhhh, dooonnn'ttt mooovvvveee yyyou cccrrrapyyyy bboodddyyy.'
'give mee mmyy bbooddyy bbaacckk yyoouu bbiittcchh!!!!'
'waaahhhhhh, ssttoopp yyyoouu sshhiittyy lleeggss.'
' grr rrr rw aaaa aaaa aa aaa aaa aa a aaaaaaa '
?!
!?
'Ha!?'
'I'm able to get some feel of my legs!'
I tried to turn back with every fiber of my muscles.
Bleeding from my nose. Drooling from my mouth...I give my all to shout. To tell the fucking goddess, before I get lost in that portal.
I could see her brows tilt.
I pushed the floor to gather power to speak. Doing everything I could to get my mouth back.
My body trembled non-stop, fighting itself for control. I could feel blood trickling down from my ears too now.
"..... Gahhhhh, Give me my body back to me, you fucking bitch! I'll kill you! I'll kill you...you motherfucking bitch."
I panted, I finally got my mouth back from her.
It was as if she didn't expect that, judging from her eyes that are wide in surprise.
I could see it. The shock in her eyes. Maybe for the first time since we arrived here, her expressions changed unconsciously.... But soon, just amusement remained in her eyes, the same amusement when Akane tried to shoot her. The amusement, that one has when one sees an interesting scene in a 'boring, repetitive' movie or in a monotonous plot, in her words, nothing else.
Getting out of her amusement, she frowned a bit, barely noticeable. Looks like she realized what I actually said. But then her crooked smile came back to her.
She lowered her posture, powering her legs, she disappeared from the platform. The platform cracked into pieces like a shattered a mirror. The next moment, she appeared a few centimeters from me, a powerful shock wave followed. But my eyes don't flinch.
They glared with rage instead.
A stinging pain that resurfaced again and again from each nerve in my body, started to affect my eyes too. I hoped that they don't bleed as well.
Her face was just a few centimeters away from mine. She had to look down on me as she was a head taller than me. She hunched a bit, to match my eye level, she examined my face and body, up and down and spoke. If I just had my arms in control, right now... I would have tried to activate my skill on this bitch. But...

"Ara?~ you will kill me, huh? You worthless Imposter will kill 'me', huh?"
An enormous pressure assaulted my whole being, it was as if it was waiting for Goddess to say those words. After enormous pressure, I saw my DEATH. Multiple times, by the hands of the Goddess, in the most brutal ways I could imagine.
I gasped for breath, coming out of that cursed vision. I couldn't even fall, just shiver in horror.
Panting, I regained a bit of my mind.
The Goddess stood just as before, seemed like all those visions happened in a moment as the atmosphere of the room was still the same, the same atmosphere of throwing disgusting rats out of the house.
While gasping for air, the same fragrance of the Goddess entered my nose. A pretty strange odour, I think I inhaled it earlier too but that time it was pleasing me to no end and now it disgusts me to no end.
"Oh my god! Just look at that imposter glaring at the kind goddess like that... it's disgusting!!"
"Yeah, I know right, that one-eyed girl even had a real gun what is she? A murderer? She even tried to kill the Goddess!"
"Yeah, they're monster's servant what else you would expect."
"Who knows what would have happened to us if they stayed with us and attacked one of us with the psychopathic brains of theirs. Thank god, Goddess Helastia is sending them away from us!"
"Don't worry if that were to ever happen, I know for sure that Akira-kun would've saved us!"
The Goddess glanced at my past life's classmates and then stared back to me. She whispered in my ear as she cackled in a crescent grin.
"See~ this drama...I like it! ... They already hate you... I didn't even do much... and they still already hate you!... Oh! What a day! I never enjoyed throwing traitors and imposter as much as I did today. You even became interesting enough, seeing that you broke free from my two abilities at once... Tell me, was that because of your skill?"
"SUCK MY DICK!! YOU BITCHHHH!!!!"
"Ahhhh~ so you won't tell me huh..."
"Haaaahhh, I'LL KILL YOU, BITCH. Know this, No One Messes with Me c-cause you mess with me I mess your w-whole life...blargghhh..." Keeping my body in control was taking a lot of toll. I vomited some blood, along with the breakfast I ate. It didn't fall on the bitch as she was too fast and moved away just in time.
"ekkkk!!!"
"Yuk! So, disgusting, couldn't he have done that in that dungeon he is going to. Look, the floor is all dirty."
"I want to smack him myself. Just now, he could have spilt blood on the beautiful Goddess. I would've killed him if that happened, I am sure that the A-Rank me, TAKA KAMITANI, would have no problem in killing that worthless piece of shit." Yelled some guy called Taka Kamitani, I don't even remember him now.
'Kill? This bastard...' I looked at him.
"Umm... I will support you Taka-kun" said the girl beside him.
"Ah! d-do you w-whatever you want, Kirin-chan" He replied to the girl.
These sucker... They are in their romantic zone while my whole life is being fucked upside down by this fucking goddess.'
"Whaaaaaaahhhhhh, JUST YOU WAIT MOTHERFUCKERS I'LL COME BACK FOR YOU TOO... JUST YOU WAITT MOTHerfu-- blaargh."
blewrghh, huff, huff,...
"eweeepppp!!! he's gone crazy!!"
"Go die, motherfucker, I don't care if you come back, I'll kill you myself if you do!"
"yeah! too bad we won't be able to their unsightly deaths. I would like to see it, too bad~"
'TAKA KAMITANI.... I'll not forget your words....'
!?
?!
'Huh!?....AGAIN?!' I lost the little control I had over my body as it turned around and walked to its death, yes, that eerie blackish-blue portal.
.

Even after the two so-called "Imposters" and "Traitors" had left or 'thrown' out of the Summoning Chamber and the portal is closed back. The Goddess was still cackling in mad glee. She was so excited, more so, on a day she didn't expected. She had never witnessed nor had she ever thought that a mere mortal could get out of her two abilities at the same time. One of them being her ability. The other was an ability that she hated to use but had to use very often.
How did he escape her ability?
Willpower?
Determination?
Anger?
Desperation?
Motivation?
Nah..., this was not some movie, none of these could ever work in real life.
She was a genuine Goddess and had used her skill on many other insanely powerful beings. Beings, who had much more desperation. Beings, who had much more determination. Beings, who had much more anger. All those beings had never once escaped her ability when caught, and she knew that.
Was it due to him being a reincarnated one?
'No that can't be the reason too, since I've already used my abilities on other Reincarnated Irregulars too. They couldn't escape my abilities too... then what could be the reason?', the goddess thought.
She had something new to ponder for a while now. About how the Irregular got out of her ability. Well, all her abilities were related to death and those, in turn, were related to the soul. Hmm, 'The Soul' was a complex subject, it might keep her busy for a while.
But more than that, her whole day has been quite pleasing and entertaining too.
And oh! The drama!
'Ah! That "touching reunion" and that "friend arguing against gods" moment were my favourite ones of today! Ahaha~'
Few heroes looked a bit uneased because of the sight of the trash spouting about coming back and all, but she was assured that those trashes could never come out of that dungeon, alive that is. Yes, one of the trash did manage to escape her ability, but well, if an Irregular doesn't do something new, then for what purpose would he be even called one. It is just that she will have to find a way so that no other Irregular popping up in the future summoning will be able to escape her ability. After all, she is a goddess she can't have a loophole in her skill.
'That trash wasn't anything unique or special. He was just trash, trash who gave me something to research on, nothing else. Both of them, TRASH Trough and Through. I know, they would never be able to escape that dungeon, they have to die there. He needs to die there! The Prophecy of Irregular could never come to pass! The humanity can't die! The world cannot end! This EARTH cannot disappear into nothingness!', Goddess Helastia's mood soured after remembering something. She shook her head in exasperation.
'Still, so much work left to do,' She sighed. The 'graceful' and 'kind' Goddess finally came out of her thoughts and gave her usual angelic smile to Heroes.

The Magitons
Book 3 of the Universe Series This novel continues the adventure from the previous novel, Ocean of Dreams. Each novel is meant to stand alone. Widhbo ( pronounced "wee bow") is a MC who will be in each of the six novels in the main series. The starship Sora had been hurtling through space using its FTL propulsion system toward the Dezba star system for over a decade since leaving the planet Beldora of the Hellsaxe system. The Sora had crash landed on Beldora over a century earlier carrying a couple of aliens from another dimension. The ship came from the Borrugal Realm, a band world associated with what was known as the Tor Galaxy, what we call the Milky Way. Human life on Beldora was never the same. Under the influence of the alien known as Widhbo, Beldora was catapulted from the steam age to the space age. The majority of the scientific advances on Beldora were attributed to the leadership of a brilliant man, Jejliard Castonea, who was secretly manipulated by the alien, Widhbo. When rapid advances in technology inadvertently led to a nuclear war, Jejliard decided to evacuate his family, friends and co-workers on the Sora. The plan was to find a new habitable planet and rebuild civilization until they could safely return home. Much to his despair, Jejliard’s family and friends opted to stay on Beldora to ride out the war underground. Even the other alien, Gengor, stayed behind. Borrowing technology stored in the archives of the Sora, Widhbo managed to transfer the personalities of those staying on the planet into digital storage units known as magitons which could survive indefinitely in cold, sterile space. Living crew members who elected to stay on board the Sora were also uploaded to ensure immortality for everyone in case their life support systems failed en route. Widhbo sought to design a cyber paradise for everyone inside their virtual worlds, but things never go as planned where Widhbo is concerned.

Gods of the mountain
Saia has started a new life after leaving her native village and its abusive goddess. Now she spends her time fishing sea snakes and trying to forget her mistakes, but this peaceful existence is derailed when the earth trembles for the first time in centuries. Koidan, the god who is supposed to protect her new village from every danger, asks for her help to survive, shattering the illusions Saia has believed in for her entire life: the nine gods are not immortal after all, and the mountain towering on the nine villages isn't as sacred and untouchable as she thought. In exchange for answers about the gods and lessons of magic, Saia pledges to save Koidan, pursuing at the same time a secret, more pressing goal: taking revenge on the goddess that oppresses her village and getting her old life back.

Imagine Being a Rare
The world of mobile games is harsh on wallets and harsher on the characters. How do you stand out in an crowd of designs calculated to attract attention from whales? You want power and fame, powercreep alts and event appearances. Some high rarities succeed, others fail. But how do you stand out when your design is plain, your power low, and your rarity, well, Rare? You don't. In the moderately popular gacha game Commandment of Hero, some Rares have had enough. A new gameplay mode will give them a chance to rise above their rarity, they think. All they need are courage, kindness, and wisdom. They have none of those, but they do have stubbornness, selfishness, and shamelessness, which are at least as effective. If that sounds pathetic, just imagine being a Rare. Updates Monday and Friday.
