Sophia Demiurge

Chapter 155: The Mother Deprived of Her Children

As insane as Sisa is, she still cannot help but tilt her head upon hearing the statement of the person in front of her, whose name she did not even know.

"A lot of... children?"

Hearing her opponent's perplexed, edging-to-disgusting tone, Sipnayan flinched and immediately explained herself. At this moment, the paper between her toes doesn't even have a fourth of the total circumference of the circle being drawn by the seemingly sentient dot.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I, Sipnayan, am a chef who was given a permit by my queen herself. I will not dare call myself her citizen if I ever become a predator. What I want to tell you is that, in our orphanage, there are a handful of human children, and I, with all my heart, want to help you find your children."

Sipnayan made her words as roundabout as linguistically possible to waste the time of Sisa who is still perplexed as ever and make way for her strongest and yet most bothersome, in more ways than one attack.

_This is why I don't want to fight._

Sipnayan watched as the perplexed and confused look on Sisa was gradually cleared, her whole pocket dimension shook with the newfound manic excitement and hope of its owner that became visible to her ever-disturbing eyes.

"Re... really? Will you really help me find my children?"

The handle of the see-saw being held by Sisa started to creak as the mad lady gripped it more intensely, Sipnayan was amazed that even the paint of the seesaw was being simulated by the pocket dimension.

"Of course... of course, I want to, now can you tell me? How do they look?"

Sisa's face brightened even more, she stuttered and then looked in the "sky" of her pocket dimension, her hand raised, as if she was just moments from remembering their faces.

"Ah... eh... they went to the church when they were about 5... they are twins, identical and um..."

Sisa started to get nervous as her madness seemed to cloud her memory, at this sight, Sipnayan could not help but feel a little guilty, this is also one of the reasons why she never wanted to fight unless otherwise, completely necessary.

Deception, especially if done by her, is something that she despises the most, no offense to her lady though, someone who loves tricking other people the most.

"Ah! They have the same hair as me, but not the eyes, their eyes are beautiful, like... they are like eyes, really beautiful eyes."

Sipnayan nodded, in her face, she was thinking hard, but in her mind she could not help but notice the repeated words of Sisa, despite that, she did not say anything for a while and then nodded, at this moment, she could feel that the sentient dot in the paper is not a little bit short of drawing half a circle.

_The fact that Sisa takes a lot of time to formulate her words due to her brain being messed up by the loss of her children, I am quite sure that the 5-minute load of that attack from my unique skill will be fulfilled without a hitch..._

Now she have about 2 minutes and 37 seconds (and counting) remaining for the loading time, which she wanted to consume as much as physically possible.

"I see... I think I might have known some humans that fit such criteria, just to be sure... can you confirm their sex? Also, can you tell me exactly how you lost your children, besides going to the church the last time you so them?"

At that moment, Sisa squinted her eyes, and again, Sipnayan confirmed that he was once again in an overdrive, now, she had successfully made the sentient circle overlap the 1/2 mark, now it was already just 2 minutes and counting before the attack will be activated, and still, Sisa never noticed it.

"Er... How... ah..."

Sipnayan could not help but grit her teeth, Sisa is working hard, the sword all over them started to hang loosely, losing their threat little by little as she did her best to remember something she had forced herself to forget, the source of her insanity.

"Erm... no, no wait, why can't I... no... no I should be the one to know it the most... they... they were my children... my children..."

At this moment, Sisa who was starting to clutch her head as she failed to remember something that should be vivid in her mind even after all those years, looked at Sipnayan again, and as if animated by the mood of their creator, the swords that already lost their edged once again stood erect and pointed at Sipnayan.

"MY CHILDREE...!"

Sipnayan panicked a little, she only needed another 10 seconds before she completed the circle.

"WAAAAIT!"

Sipnayan used mana to shout at the little reasoning left in the mind of Sisa, luckily for her, it worked, she then, with only 5 seconds remaining before her attack raised her index finger.

"I... I have one last question if you can't answer the previous one, or rather, a request.

3 seconds, and in that small amount of time, Sisa's eyes were still sharp yet glued to what Sipnayan was about to say, and in the time she glared at the goblin in front of her, the circle in the paper was finally drawn.

[Notice: The ability [Absolute destruction] of the unique skill [Disintegrator] has been activated, please place a target.]

At the sound of such a notification, Sipnayan continued.

"It's simple you see..."

She paused for a moment, and at that instant, she made the paper in between her toes fall off one of the blades that was targeting her, this was immediately noticed by the high-strung Sisa, and she immediately gripped the seesaw hard, causing the metal handle to deform, and alongside such deformation all of the swords pointed at her enemy that manipulated her vulnerable and manic mind charged as if bolts of harpoons competing on who would first stab the shark they were targeting, however, Sipnayan, the said shark remained calm.

Unlike her fighter counterparts, she is stronger, she have no hint of happiness in this sudden impulsive outburst, she felt her conscience churning her insides.

"[Disintegrate]"

Such is what Sipnayan muttered, and with that single word, it was as if the whole pocket dimension heard a command from their deity, all of the blades charging stopped moving which caused great shock in the face of Sisa, but that shock only lasted for a fraction of a second because, at the next instant, a small circle appeared in the feet of Sipnayan, this small circle has green, neon color that caused the part of the 4th pocket dimension to shatter into symmetrical triangle shard.

This circle immediately spread in the whole pocket dimension, Sisa, who has her mind blended because of her obsession being stimulated as well as the shock of her strongest ace and space magic being destroyed in a fraction of a second, and only when she and her opponent landed in the greenery they were in before did she went out of her daze.

_My... pocket dimension..._

Sisa looked at Sipnayan for a second, at the next second, she shouted a soul-searing scream that reverberated throughout the forest, she clenched her fist and dashed toward her opponent that is less than two meters away.

However, just like before, the goblin remained calm, she pointed her index finger which glowed in green neon, and once again, the voice of the system resounded in the mind of Sipnayan.

[Notice: 1 minute before the debuff of [Absolute destruction], the requirement for using [Controlled Destruction] has been met, in one minute, you can use this ability repeatedly, please control the destruction.]

Sipnayan did not think much, for the opponent was already half a meter away from her.

[Command: All of the bones, except joins be snapped in half.]

As the notification resounded once again, the glow in Sipnayan's finger shot out into the chest of Sisa, and again, it was as if the mad woman's world had stopped, she looked at her left arm, the humerus, the bone attached to the ball joint, the longest bone in the body was snapped and bent in a bad angle, the ulna, radius and all the bones in her hand were also in the same condition, some are bent to the front, some at the palm, some left and right, some are so bad that the bone is protruding out of the skin.

Not only in her left arm, but all the bones in her body, except the bones that created the joints seem to be somehow snapped into two. Sisa can only stare in confusion at her enemy, tears of pain, accompanied by fountain-like blood gushing all over her body flowing out of her eyes as she fell down the ground and became visible in her visage which is just an inch shy of the foot of Sipnayan.

_It hurts... it hurts..._

Her mind was chaotic, seemingly more chaotic than before, and if Sisa was to get into her usual pattern, she would once again enter her manic state and run amuck, and at this state, until her death, but it was as if a miracle from the heavens happened, from the god that gave her a useless ability, if there is such a thing.

"How did you lose them?"

Sisa remembered such a question.

_Ah, yes, how can I forget about, how can I forget about that day?_

________

In the world of Pentateuch, religions are generally not allowed by their gods to hold an army, simply because the gods consider the army of the kingdom they protect as their army, sometimes, even the cathedral is just a symbolic thing and doesn't hold any meaning other than the place where the heroes and prophets prays.

But of course, like usual, there are exceptions to the rule, such as the god of the underworld, the sole god that is considered the patron of Tydings kingdom, and the god of the King of the Underworld, Tydings IV, way before Sisa had children, the kings of Tydings have the official title of Pope, and the royal army, is the army of the church of the god of the underworld.

In that era until just about 11 years ago, the church recruited children, irrespective of sex to become sacristans, and from there, they were tested on whether or not they will become forever mere servants in masses or will become future capable soldiers, such is what happened to the children of Sisa.

Originally, Sisa, her dead husband, Basilio, the older brother, and Crispin the younger brother were simple villagers, well, except for the fact that Sisa can pass through the fourth dimension and go from the village to the capital in an instant, or the fact that Crispin and Basilio have no presence at all, making their attempt to the life of their abusive father successful, their family is normal.

It was just a spur-of-the-moment action between the two brothers, who are receiving unconditional love from their mother felt vexed and angered with the way such a bastardic excuse for a father treats their gentle and caring mother, so one day, they picked up kitchen knives, one each and sneaked attacked their father, right in the two sides of the throat.

Going back, every day, in order to be able to hide their abilities from their neighbors, they will use the 4th dimension to go to the capital and sell their goods in their humble weapons shop, it caters to the adventurers and some sacristans that became soldiers in training.

Their life is just like that, not too lavish, not too poor, just surviving, with the ever-so-handy space magic of Sisa, who without her knowledge already leveled up to 5 because of her continuous usage and subconscious comprehension of the essence of the space magic.

Even geniuses in space magic have different levels of speed in comprehension, but they are not aware of that nor do they care, they just continue their lives as one happy family.

Of course, to make her children happy, she used the pocket dimension as well as learned earth magic to transmute metal and create trees and grounds to make a playground for her children.

One can say that everything that Sisa does, even her breathing itself is for her children.

However, as they said, it is easier to punch the moon than to make two humans happy for each other, Sisa and her family, despite just "surviving" were actually the richest family in the village, they have the largest house, and the cleanest pair of clothes, and what is most infuriating is that the villagers never saw the family get outside their house.

Because of suspicion alongside overflowing envy, the villagers started to slander Sisa, and not simple, village-wide slander, they made it fly towards the nearest town, that Sisa was sleeping with a noble to sustain her children, that she's a murderer who takes assassination missions that mostly targets the magicless and skilless but influential friars.

The chapel in the town, as a representative of the god of the underworld and as the potential target of Sisa (also as a patriarchic organization that hopes for a night or two with a woman with such a riveting body), immediately took action, they marched their army towards the house of Sisa, and with the crimes of lust and murder, she alongside her children were arrested, much to the delight and laughter of the villagers who were given rewards for giving "solid evidence" against such sinner.

When in fact, there was not a trial at all.

Such were the injustices that are being faced by Sisa, however, at that time, she was still not a soldier, she was just a mother, a mother who pleaded, and pleaded for the freedom of her children in exchange for herself, her body, and her very soul.

However, the family of Sisa has a lot of war potential, the mother can create an intricate pocket dimension and the two doesn't have a presence, thus her plead were ignored.

They were ignored, without the priest, no, without the church itself being aware of the monster that they were about to create.
