Then Don't Be a God Eater

Retreat?

Should we retreat now?

"Why?" Alisa pressed the communicator hanging on her ear and said without thinking, "If we retreat now, won't the mission completely fail?"

No sooner had Alisa finished speaking than the officer in charge of communication said in a cold voice over the communicator, "This is not something you should be concerned with. You just need to obey orders."

Upon hearing this, the new God Eater looked at each other in bewilderment.

Alisa's eyes flickered with uncertainty, and in the end, she could only say, "I understand. I will stay behind to cover everyone's retreat."

These words caused the voice on the communicator to disappear instantly.

The voice rang out again a second later, saying this sentence.

"I think you probably didn't understand what I meant. I'm telling you to retreat immediately. If you don't retreat now, once the Aragami attacks, with the strength of you newbies, you won't be able to escape."

Upon hearing these words, a chill immediately washed over Alisa.

Alisa finally understood.

The order above is for the new God Eater to retreat, not for the army here to retreat.

In other words, instead of having the God Eater cover the others, the soldiers stayed behind to cover the new God Eater they could escape.

Moreover, this was done without giving the soldiers any orders.

What does that mean?

This means that the higher-ups intend to use all the soldiers here as sacrifices to cover the retreat.

If Alisa knew that the reason why a large force of Aragami appeared here was because someone had injected hormones that could attract Aragami into the Fang Li, thus modifying them, then she would understand.

From the very beginning, the higher-ups did not care about the lives of these ordinary soldiers; they only cared about ensuring the safety of the new God Eater.

The reason is quite simple.

Compared to ordinary soldiers who are completely useless in the battle against the Aragami, the existence of God Eater is undoubtedly valuable.

Having realized this, Alisa lowered her head and said nothing more.

On the contrary, the few new God Eater quickly greeted Alisa.

"What are you doing?"

"Come over here right now!"

"Prepare to retreat!"

Clearly, the newcomers chose to obey orders, meaning they intended to stand by and watch the person die.

Alisa ignored the newcomers and looked ahead.

There, the main force of the Aragami finally launched their attack.

"Roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar————!"

A demon-faced, wild god let out a terrifying roar, ignoring the bullets raining down on it, and lunged at the nearest soldier.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

As the ferocious beast grew larger in his field of vision, the soldier let out a desperate scream.

Immediately afterwards, the ferocious beast with the ghostly face opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and bit down directly on the screaming soldier.

"Pfft—!"

The sound of fangs piercing flesh suddenly rang out, sending up a spray of blood.

This served as a prelude, and the tragedy began.

A small, black-egg-like wild god swooped down from mid-air.

A small, ferocious-looking wild god pounced from the front.

Even the medium-sized Aragami, as powerful as Vajra, charged directly into the ranks of the soldiers.

These wild gods all opened their enormous mouths and bit at the soldiers one by one, tearing them apart and swallowing them whole amidst sprays of blood, leaving not a trace of flesh behind.

That was undoubtedly a hunt.

However, it's not a hunt between the Hunter and prey, but rather the upper end of the food chain hunting the lower end.

Monsters formed from cells that only know how to prey are now challenging the most basic rules of nature.

They disregard race and survival, acting solely on instinct, reaping lives one by one.

That was a tragedy.

Under these circumstances, all the newcomers trembled and began to panic.

At that moment, one by one, the newcomers roared at Alisa.

"Hurry up!"

"The Aragami is attacking!"

"Do you want to die?!"

The roars of the newcomers did not elicit a response from Alisa.

Alisa simply looked at the newcomers, but her gaze was no longer as sharp as before.

As mentioned before, Alisa absolutely does not want to be compared to these people.

However, the reason Alisa said that before was simply because the performance of these newcomers was so disappointing that Alisa did not want to associate with them.

This time, Alisa didn't want to be compared to these newcomers; all she felt was contempt and disdain for them.

Immediately, Alisa, in her usual indifferent voice, said this to the newcomers.

"If you're afraid of the Aragami, then don't God Eater."

Leaving those words behind, Alisa ignored the group of newcomers and leaped forward.

"Varied...?!"

The newlyweds were completely stunned.

Immediately afterwards, all of them rose up in anger.

"What's so great about it?!"

Who do you think you are?!

"Since you want to die, then go die alone!"

"Right!"

"We can just retreat on our own. Anyway, it was that woman who disobeyed orders!"

With that, the new God Eater turned and ran without hesitation, entering the helicopter cabin to begin their escape.

Only Alisa, with an unwavering expression, raised the divine weapon high in her hand.

"Snap—!"

With a mechanical sound, the Divine Weapon in Alisa's hand suddenly transformed from a submachine gun into a longsword.

"Alisa Ilinitina Amiella! Do you intend to disobey orders?!"

The same sound kept coming through the communicator, reaching Alisa's ears.

However, Alisa ignored all of this, picked up her divine weapon, and charged into the horde of Aragami.

The surrounding Aragami roared and charged toward Alisa one after another.

Instantly, the divine weapon in Alisa's hand transformed into a devastating weapon, sweeping away thousands of troops as it was suddenly swung up.

"Pfft—!"

The sword sliced through the skin of the Wild God, cut open its flesh, and severed it in two.

At this moment, Alisa was like God of War, slaughtering all around the attacking Aragami, her divine weapon slaying one Aragami after another, cutting them down one by one.

"We're... we're saved!"

"Run!"

The surviving soldiers were overjoyed and immediately began to flee.

Only one person remained in the same place from beginning to end.

Even when surrounded by the Aragami.

Alisa saw this person.

Therefore, Alisa's gaze gradually changed.

"It really was him..."
