New law of Beast Taming

[Why do you think we got abandoned? Is it because we were not good enough? Or was it because she got angry at us? I do not understand human emotions. I should wipe them off from the minds of my people.

The curious voice asked, but the entity that occupied the space behind him did not respond. The vessel ’The Law’ had once been a cheerful god, and he was filled with potential. But it had all been drained out of him once he had been abandoned.

But Krata was not the only one who had been abandoned. The real victim of Amane’s decision-making had been ’The Law.’ It had worked so hard to ensure Amane became the perfect vessel, but she had run away.

She had managed to avoid not only ’The Law’ but also the rebels and other entities. And then she had died, which had not been allowed.

’The Law’ knew that it was time to let Amane rest. Once a god died, all traces of their consciousness were to be recycled and turned into nourishment for a new god. Enjoy new adventures at freewebnovel

But something had been tempering with this system for some time now. There had been no birth of a new god for the past few centuries.

It happened shortly after Amane died. There had been an unnatural surge of power, and someone attempted to hold a ritual to bring Amane back.

’The Law’ should have stopped such a taboo practice and ended this mess there. But it had been caught lacking, and the ritual had gone through.

When he had asked his vessel (who still had his consciousness at that time, but barely), he had been told that it was because ’The Law’ liked Amane and it wanted Amane to live.

That had been a bullshit reasoning, but ’The Law’ had never been able to find a more logical reason than this. And that was how it knew that it was malfunctioning.

Thankfully, there was no other indication of it malfunctioning until the remains of Amane had been found.

Yoko Tsurugi was the vessel chosen to house Aamen’s soul. She had given up her position without any protest as well.

’The Law’ should feel disgusted, but it did not feel so. It felt glad and relieved to have its vessel candidate back. He could grant Amane a new body and use her for the purpose she had been reborn.

This all felt unnatural, and someone had manipulated these results. But ’The Law’ could not bring itself to care. Especially not when it was getting precisely what it wanted.

[You must be happy to have Amane back. You always longed for your sister to come and save you. I remember how you broke down into tears once I told you that she died.]

There was no answer this time, as well. There was no indication that ’This person had heard the Law.’ But despite that, ’The Law’ could feel something had changed in the air.

Its vessel had never paid any attention to anything. He acted like a mindless doll who acted on logic and orders. But this time, he did not only smile but had his eyes softening a bit.

That indicated that he still had his consciousness inside him.

[Don’t worry. You will get to see your sister soon. I have sent someone to retrieve your sister. Once I have my new vessel, I will allow you to roam free. You have served me well for the past thousand years, so I will not abandon you.]

The thought of his vessel dying made ’The Law’ uncomfortable. It had never felt these emotions before, and they overwhelmed him.

But it was easy for him to push down his feelings and focus on the task. The puppet he had sent to retrieve Amane was fragile, and the strings that ’The Law’ used to control it were also thin.

A small brush of force would break them, so it needed to finish this soon.

Luckily, Amane did not have enough power in her human body to resist his pressure. So, it was only a matter of time before she ended up back in the heavenly realm under his rule. Once he had Amane here, ’The Law’ would decide her punishment.

Running and hiding from ’The Law’ was foolish. It would find you no matter where you went. So, it was only natural that you paid the price for your foolishness.

.........

The aura pressing down on Amane made her immobile. She could not move her arms or legs how she wanted to.

She looked up at Teressa’s face, but it was blank. Her eyes were glazed over with a familiar glint of brain-washing.

’Oh god! ’The Law’ got to her. I do not know how long Teressa was herself, but that entity knows all about the rebellion now.’

Amane knew that she should not be surprised to see something like this. As the entity that ruled everything, ’The Law’ had influence beyond any god’s control. It was easy for him to do feats that looked impossible to others.

Even it was bounded by morals and other things. It also had a vessel to stop it if it used its authority too far.

But despite all these precautions, this had happened. It meant that the vessel had considered it as an acceptable act to carry out.

Amane could not believe that Krata would ever accept this under normal circumstances. And the thought of what could have happened sent shivers down Amane’s spine. She did not want to think about it.

"You are being arrested and brought before ’The Law’ to serve your sentence. You shall not be allowed to head back home or to contact someone else…"

Amane regained some of her strength before Teressa could finish speaking. Teressa stumbled when she was suddenly attacked, but her eyes remained tranced. This attack had not startled her a bit.

"You talk too much. Are you under the control of ’The Law’ as well? What a horrible fate you all have. You are all puppets being controlled by a higher entity. Do you want to want to be free?"

Amane asked, trying to see if she could entice a response from Teressa or not. But the lady continued to attack her without an ounce of guilt. She brought a ribbon, and Amane knew she needed to be careful.

That ribbon was used for restraint, and Amane would lose all strength if it touched her.

It took a lot of work to dodge all these attacks. They ran down faster and more accurately than Amane was used to. Teressa also looked apt at dodging any attacks coming her way.

It was not an easy battle and a single mistake could cost Amane heavily.

’I will not be able to kill Teressa, and I don’t think she wants to kill me either. I could try to gamble my life or make Teressa faith and interrogate her that way.’

Amane wanted to say that she had options. But she had few choices left in her arsenal.

The door jiggled, and that distracted Teressa. This was the best opportunity Amane would get, and she rushed toward Teressa. Finally, she succeeded in catching Teressa off guard, and her hand closed around Teressa’s neck.

He needed to cut Teressa’s wind if she wanted to knock her unconscious.

Despite Teressa being a goddess, her current body was that of a demi-human since a divine being could not step out of the present heaven. No one could breach this limitation - not even the law.

And no matter how well-trained and perfect a demi-human body looked, they still had limitations. They still needed to breathe, eat and sleep to stay fit.

That was what Amane took advantage of and decided to knock her opponent out.

"Yoko Tsurugi, what are you doing? Teressa would die if you continued. Hurry up and get off her. Amane, did you not listen to me?"

Chen panicked as soon as he opened the door. He wanted to talk to Amane but did not expect to see her in such a position. This was beyond anything he had ever seen before.

Chen felt he should avoid getting into this mess and watch from the sidelines. Amane was strong and did not look like she was under anything’s influence. So, he could not understand what was happening.

"You fool. Look out or else-"

Chen felt a power hit him and flung him across the room. His back smacked against the wall, and it hurt. Teressa stood over him, but her eyes were blank.

This was not the goddess that Father had brought back. This feeling was too intense to be an actual demi-god. And that killing intent felt natural as well.

"Shit! Get away from that kid. I never gave you permission to approach him or harm him."

Amane yelled before her chains closed around Teressa’s neck and pulled her back. Due to their divine nature, they had significantly less impact than Amane’s hands.

But Amane was not trying to strangle Teressa this time. She only wanted her to escape the kid in front of her.

Chen coughed when he was finally free. His neck felt swollen, and he was shocked at what happened. But he quickly regained his strength and breading back. He looked at the situation with a new perspective.

"Think about everything later. For now, get me anything that knocks a human out and hurry. I do not have my authority, so I will not be able to fight against Teressa for long."

Amane warned, and Chen felt the pressure pressing him down. Teressa was not even trying to hold back now.
