The Unnamed God. I'm really Not a God You Guys!

Soon I will teach them all that no one messes with The Unnamed God Sect. No one!

I'm still under an intense attack. Wherever I look all I see is water. Water blades, water bullets, water walls, water scythes even. It looks like a deadly exhibition of all water-based killing methods.

Right now, I feel like a rat that fell in the toilet, somehow still alive but even I don't know how. Divine energy makes me hard to kill but the only issue is I'm getting pushed everywhere, especially in the lake. Then I have to concentrate hard to extirpate myself out of it.

I can't stop concentrating on my defense either or it would become dangerous. I can faintly hear their conversation from time to time. Right now, they don't seem to care about if they kill me. I can't believe how ridiculous this whole plan was.

"What are we doing now?!" ("Disciple")

"Keep attacking until he's down. We need to take care of him and then we need to figure out why the pledge didn't work." (Queen)

"Tch, it's probably thanks to the modified vows he said, but then again it shouldn't affect it much. It's not as much the words but to accept the ritual that matters. Honestly, I have no clue, he should be under the spell's effect already." (Monarch)

"What if we don't manage to control him?!" (Fairy)

"Then we simply kill him." (Queen)

"What if we can't kill him?" (Fairy)

"Then the Water Sect gets destroyed for we've completely made an enemy out of him just now. But no need to worry, this is our territory. No matter how resistant he is he will run out of energy at some point." (Monarch)

"That's right! We just need to persevere a bit more! He's already getting slower! He's struggling!" ("Disciple")

Run out of energy? Getting slower? I almost chuckle when I hear that. These guys are sorely mistaken if they think a battle of attrition is the best way to defeat me! This is just perfect. Right now, I need time more than anything else.

I can barely see but it seems my pink-haired friend is still attacking the water barrier. The issue is that the general sect members are starting to organize themselves. They are now coordinating their attacks together, creating a force that cannot be ignored anymore.

Should I try to get there and punch the barrier real quick? I could probably free myself, but it would take time. They'd also soon notice my objective. If I show them that I care about my friend they'll focus on her directly. It would backfire quickly.

Think, think, I need to somehow help subtly. Wait, the water barrier covers the whole city, right? Haha! This is probably going to work. This lake is the exact center of it. I spent the whole day exploring the city. I know for a fact that everything is connected together. This means that even if I'm stuck here, I can still do something about that defensive measure.

Still, the more I observe this place and the more it looks like a very normal lake. Well, that's if one excludes the crazy people blasting it apart every second around me. I start using my scouting ability.

I somehow manage to split my focus in two. One to make sure I survive and the other to scour the barrier and the lake itself. I feel like my mind is about to break but I can tough it out. I'll save her and make these fuckers pay for the death of my naked friend.

I scour the spot my pink-haired friend is attacking first. Always the same yet it doesn't show any sign of weakening. It seems its regeneration rate is higher than the actual damage dealt. Can I interact with it in this consciousness form?

I try to move closer to it, but I simply pass right through. For me, this defense may as well not be there. Wait, what if I try transferring some divine energy to my friend? She could break out with divine pink balls. Good thing her magic is a different color or…

I get close to her. She is under immense pressure and yet she is still fighting valiantly. I want to tell her that everything will be fine, that I'll get her out of here somehow, but she doesn't perceive me. But that's when I feel something peculiar.

It's a feeling that is nostalgic. Comes an ancient and powerful vibe. Then slowly appears some white fog. HAHAHA Right, he's not so easy to kill! There he is, the Naked Emperor in his ghostly form once more.

He seemingly looks around the battlefield. Then he complains while exuding disappointment. 

"Seriously?! You guys have been fighting for so long and none of you lost any piece of clothing? How bad are you guys? Is all this magic of yours just for show?  I bet it is!"

Then again both sides have magic that's the thing. That's when he starts to curiously float near the barrier. I'm so fucking glad he's back. I go next to him in this soul form of mine. Even he can't see me.

But as I get nearby, I see him jump in fright before looking all around akin to a startled rabbit. He then slowly mumbles "must be my imagination" before resuming his observation. He then rams his whole foggy body against the water barrier.

He then comes to a stop abruptly. He's unharmed but clearly dizzy from it as he even has trouble flying straight. Just as he is done stabilizing himself…he does it again! He rams itself over against it, sometimes even before recovering.

Just as I'm thinking he's gone crazy he finally stops. He simply looks like a white gaseous shape, but somehow, I can perceive his predatory smile. He goes. "Found you!"

Then he starts flying straight to the lake in the middle. I keep up with him as fast as I can. Then he dives into it, apparently searching for something. Before long, I finally notice what it is. There are small goldfishes in there. They are barely discernable in the troubled water.

On each, there are magical-looking symbols. Is this barrier goldfish-powered?! What kind of concept is this! He starts attacking them with limited results, but he has some. This is amazing!

Now that I know what I must do I hurry back and sever the connection to this mental construct of mine. I concentrate fully on the vision from my own body. I'm still under attack, I'm still getting fucked. But it doesn't matter.

It is time to go on the offensive!...
