New law of Beast Taming

Shigo was confident that she had people’s attention. She had already used compulsion magic in a wide-spread area to make these people follow her will. They will take her side no matter what happens.

But as soon as Shigo finished speaking, she would feel that her spell had been stripped out of its power. The people looked at her with annoyance and then turned toward her opposition to see what they had to say.

"My dear citizens, the only reason our upper leaders are not here is because they are too busy helping other people and those in trouble. I hope you will consider who is truly helping you when you cast your vote."

These small lines instantly turned the flow of these elections.

As a leader, Shigo knew how important it was for her to be here. Things would not have changed much if she had helped others. But it was a different case for Stella.

Since Stella was capable and had proven herself capable in her field work, her assistance offer was much higher. Find more to read on freewebnovel

’This is bad. At this rate, I will truly lose. I need to turn the tire of the situation.’

The bell rang before Shigo could do anything, and the election started. Everyone could vote on their phones, and too many safety and fairness measures were in place. It was impossible to cheat the system.

Shigo could only clasp her hands and wait for her demise. She knew that she had lost even before the results came in.

"It’s all over. Prescient Shigo, it was nice serving you. You were a great leader and a great visionary. I am sorry that your reign ended like this."

The secretary sounded sad, but Shigo knew that the secretary had a considerable hand in organising these elections and making them come early.

All her people had been eager for these elections, but they did not show it on their faces.

’They were all tow-faced liars. I cannot believe that I ever trusted these people. It is all my fault that I lost.’

Shigo knew that it was time to say goodbye to all her power. It felt as if she was dying for the second time. But at least the disasters happening around the county were no longer her problems.

She entered her office but immediately stopped to see a familiar face.

"You! What are you doing here? This is still my office if I am not signed out. And my term is not over for the next few hours."

Shigo tried to look annoyed, but her heart was not in it. She only sighed and decided to ignore Kori.

But Kori was having none of it. She knew Shigo’s secret and was here to take it and use it.

"You have a gateway to the heaven, right? You used it to harness the power of the heaven you lost long ago. I want you to show me that gateway."

Kori stood behind Shigo, and her voice sounded as if it was ringing directly inside Shigo’s mind. The sudden pressure she felt threatened to choke her, and Shigo suddenly knew who was responsible for all these worldwide disasters.

"What do you want from me? I do not know anything about the heavens or a gateway. Now, head out and leave me alone."

Shigo was all but choking when she let these words out. But she refused to tell Kori about her special place.

Kori did not look worried. She tapped Shigo’s head, and memories flashed across Shigo’s head. She could not stop thinking about how to enter her secret place.

She was exhausted when Kori let go of her head. Shigo had no idea what happened but knew her secret was out.

"Hey, what are you planning on doing? Going against The Law is a death sentence. Do you not know how many gods and goddesses were recently killed because they tried it? You would be annihilated as well-"

"That is something I look forward to. I was born to bring justice to The Law. I wonder which one of us would win during the last fight."

Kori asked before she walked out. She signalled for the resistance to gather.

Only a few of them were left, but they still had a significant number that could affect the tide of the war.

The law should also be annoyed by this point since it was too busy trying to deal with Amane. This was the best opportunity for them to act and ensure that The Law was handled.

"Excuse me, but I wish to help you achieve your goal. I woke up from a certain death, only to see Yoko getting herself into trouble. Now, I must bail her out like I always do."

Kori would not have stopped if she had not felt that unexpected power colliding with the person behind her. This voice sounded familiar, but Kori was certain she had never heard it.

"Hello, my name is Sakura Tsurugi, and I am here to retrieve my cousin from whatever trouble she had gotten herself into. And I also brought gifts with me to help you out."

Sakura Tsurugi stood behind Kori, but there was something different about her. The aura of power she excluded felt too heavy to be expected.

"Who are you? No, what are you? That power…it’s not something that can be found in this reality. Where did you get it from?"

Kori was excited at the sudden burst of power she found. This female in front of her felt strong and had unexpected powers that The Law would not consider.

"These powers? They were a gift from someone who spent all their life fighting against the injustice done to them. These powers devour anything they touch, so I can only use them once."

Kori knew there must be a catch for using such amazing powers. But this sudden change took a lot of work to come by. She could not afford to miss it and wait for another.

"I understand. In that case, I will accept your help. Our operation will begin tonight. All our members will assemble, and this will be our final attempt to take care of The Law."

Everyone wanted to be independent and be allowed to do what they wanted. But more than that, no one wanted to live under the tyranny of another entity who could not understand them.

The Law had outlived its usefulness and became a Tyranny that ruined lives. And that was something no one wanted. The vessel system was also stupid and caused too many casualties.

......

[I am back. Did you miss me? I do not care if you did or not. We need to start the ceremony now. I hope you are ready to accept what is about to happen.]

Amane had tried not to struggle the whole time she had been here. It did not matter what happened to her now. She just needed to wait for Kori or someone to come for her. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Amane had tried not to cause trouble because she knew Krata would get into trouble for this. And Amane still cared for Krata even after all this time had passed.

"You do not have your consciousness? I knew you were soft, but I did not know you were this soft. But this was what I expected when I offered you this position. This is my fault."

Amane tried to ignite Krata’s temper, but he said nothing. He was acting like a true vessel with none of his thoughts visible on his face.

[Are you trying to talk to my vessel? It is of no use. He had not tried to rebel or break my hold on him ever since he became a vessel. Thank you for providing me with such a reliable vessel. But it’s a shame that it was not what I wanted.]

The Law entered the room and placed his hand on Krata’s head. This time, his body was of an adult male with radiant features.

No imperfection could be found on that soft and beautiful face, but Amane still felt repulsed by that face.

[Do you like my new looks? The looks I borrowed used to belong to a paladin of mine. I heard that females like these kinds of looks. You must be no exception, right?]

"Eh, I prefer the other gender. No matter how beautiful you are, you do nothing for my attraction."

Silence followed Amane after she was done speaking. She did not even realise that more gods had gathered inside the hallway. And most of these gods looked new, or they did not recognise her.

Anyone else would have turned red and stopped speaking, but Amane was shameless and continued to hold her head high.

[Ah, yes. I remember now! But I like this skin quite a lot so I will not change it. Soon, I will have you as my vessel, so it will not matter what I like or do not like.]

The Law affirmed once more before he drew Amane’s blood. The ceremony had started.

The silence that fell around the room did not even last ten minutes. The chamber began to shake, and the gods cried out in fright.

The upper heaven had been peaceful ever since it had been created. This was the first incidence of an earthquake this place had ever faced. No one knew what they should do now.

Amane used this opportunity to run away. Her hands were bound, but her feet were not. The last thing she noticed was Krata getting ready to chase after her, but The Law stopped him.
