Chapter 458: Human God
Ziiiiip!
Stop. Watch. Breathe.
’I’m literally turning into lightning!’
His vision tunnelled and shifted into ever changing colours. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. He could still think, still move and act as he wanted. It was as though he had lost his limbs and could fly without needing them. The very world was light and without gravity.
It didn’t make to the mind. To the body, it was perfect. It was everything he needed. This form was fast and flexible.
He stopped right before Matsue Castle. His limbs returned, as did the rest of his physical form. A platform kept him up. His vision gradually returned to normal. He saw the hole at the second floor. He witnessed Marta crash into the castle. He glanced back over to the sliced corpse. The Red Bake-kujira was dead. The city was safe.
All because of Marta. If it wasn’t for her, everybody would have died during from that explosion.
He zipped down to the courtyard, his physical form changing twice in the blink of an eye. His golden eyes scanned the wreckage. Spears of broken fire had made their way here. The clash had been great indeed. Closing his eyes, he swung his arms with sparks of electricity and ridded the castle of the fire. Following that, he conducted a scan of the entire capital. He gleaned that nobody else had been injured nor were there any fires. These fires were magical in essence so it was quite easy to tell.
"Good."
A group of samurai stood in tight formation in the courtyard, guarding an older man in fine robes—Lord Mosuke. Beside him stood the young master of the castle, Horio Tadaharu. He was tense with worry. The samurai gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes flicking from the devastation to the figure that had entered their space. Kazi realized how he must look to them—his once-black hair now a shocking blond and he radiated power like a god stepping onto mortal soil.
Power like his could not be understood. Good or evil did not exist. It simply boggled the mind.
