"So... it's this easy?"
Watching the piece sink into her skin, CC blinked.
She thought that the way to become a Devil was surprisingly convenient.
Suddenly,
An unprecedented feeling began to surge from within her body.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Her heartbeat accelerated, her blood flowed faster, as if every cell was undergoing amazing changes.
This was a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.
Because she was immortal, even if she was injured, her cells would return to their normal state.
And now, they were beginning to change.
"Mmnn..."
Besides that, there was another power.
Swish!
The next moment, two pairs of Devil wings burst from her body.
A long, slender, heart-shaped tail tip also emerged, swaying before Ayato.
Seeing this, Ayato grabbed it.
"Hmm?"
CC's eyes widened, her body trembling slightly, her face instantly turning bright red.
'How strange!'
'What was this feeling? So unfamiliar.'
'But... it was comfortable.'
Her breathing grew a bit heavier, and she said dazedly: "Mr. Devil, can you let go?"
Ayato smiled, let go of his hand, and said: "After becoming a Devil, has your original ability disappeared?"
"Hoo!"
CC sighed in relief and returned to normal. She sensed for a moment, then said: "It hasn't disappeared. It seems even stronger."
Ayato nodded: "That's good. An immortal body is a very powerful ability, even among Devils."
"It seems I'm also quite special among Devils."
"That's not it. After all, among my servants, there are magicians, Holy Sword wielders, nuns, Heroic Spirits, a Goddess, an Angel..."
"..."
CC was a bit confused.
'What and what was that?'
'How did nuns and Angels come into it?'
'Weren't they supposed to be the natural enemies of Devils?'
'Could even Angels fall?'
After a moment, CC said quietly: "My Mr. Devil, your taste is quite varied."
"I'll take that as a compliment."
CC's mouth twitched, then she said seriously: "So, Mr. Devil, time to keep your promise."
"What promise?"
"True love and such. Don't we need a date?"
"Sure. But are you going out dressed like that?"
CC paused, looked at her bathrobe, and quickly walked into the bedroom.
When she came out, she had changed into a white casual outfit.
"Actually, you don't have to avoid me."
"Mr. Devil, love needs to be taken step by step."
CC hugged Ayato's arm, eager to try: "So, what's the plan for our date?"
"At least, let's leave this place first."
As he spoke, Ayato took CC and pushed open the door.
CC was confused: "Mr. Devil, aren't we going to use that magic circle to leave?"
Buzz! Buzz!
At the same time, red lights flashed in the base corridor, and a harsh alarm blared repeatedly.
"Since you've already become a Devil, get used to your power."
Ayato gave CC a head-pat and said gently: "And as a servant, clearing the way for your master is your duty."
"Ah?"
CC's eyes widened as she looked at Ayato in disbelief.
'Was this Mr. Devil reliable?'
'I had just become a Devil, and he was already pushing me into battle?'
At this moment, she wanted to curse.
Meanwhile, simple mechs appeared in the corridor in the distance.
This made CC freeze completely.
Although she had mastered various forms of combat over a thousand years...
Flesh and blood against these mechs... was that really possible?
She wouldn't die, but it would hurt a lot.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a blessing. Dealing with them will be easy."
Before CC could react, she saw those ruby-like eyes getting closer and closer.
'Mmnn...'
It seemed like something was flowing in.
This feeling was unprecedented.
A moment later,
A flushed-faced CC pushed Ayato away: "Mr. Devil, what time is it, and you're still taking advantage?"
"I'm giving you a blessing. Now use this power."
Ayato looked completely innocent.
"Leader, please step aside. Let us deal with the person holding you hostage."
Just then, a voice came from the lead mech.
The other party was very fast, already very close to her.
"No choice. Let's give it a try."
CC took a deep breath, and her eyes became sharp.
Silently...
Golden flames seemed to bloom on her body.
The next moment, she threw a punch.
Boom!
A thunderous roar echoed through the corridor.
The lead mech flew backwards, like a bowling ball, shattering all the mechs behind it, leaving only a trail of wreckage.
"Th-this..."
CC was stunned, murmuring softly: "This is... the power of a Devil?"
"More precisely, it's the blessing of a god."
Ayato walked behind her and explained: "This is power I took from killing a god."
CC: "..."
'This Mr. Devil of mine seemed quite terrifying.'
'He could even kill gods?'
"It seems I've acknowledged a remarkable master, Mr. Devil."
"Good that you know."
Ayato smiled: "So why haven't you changed your address yet?"
"I don't like calling anyone 'Master'. Hey, Mr. Devil, what is your name?"
"Ayato."
"Alright. From now on, I'll call you Ayato-sama."
"Whatever. Keep clearing the way."
CC said helplessly: "Ara ara… Ayato-sama, you really don't know how to treat a lady with care, making a girl fight while you hide behind."
Although she said that, CC walked forward on her long legs.
That punch just now had given her a lot of confidence.
Mechs and such... were no longer worth mentioning.
The next moment,
Her figure shot out suddenly, meeting the mechs that appeared again.
Like a white streak of light, flashing across the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, countless mechs had turned into fragments.
During this time, not all mechs failed to fight back.
But whether bullets or cannon shells hit CC, they were useless.
This level of technology was far too insignificant for the power of the blessing.
