[Void]
As the battle goes on, more and more blood are getting shed as both sides confront each other till their deaths
The casualties are numerable as both sides begun to a state wherein the fatigue of fighting is slowly catching up to them
During this moment only 41 transportation was still intact out of 50 transportation walking through the surface of the land, thanks to it's incredible durability, such structure was then really hard to destroy
The distance of target mark towards the raiding army was shorten up to 30 km, such distance was already enough for some soldiers and leaders from various tribe to see the intense battle that was going on
At this moment they could see some individuals going up against Asuto who was responsible for all of this and the one who instigated the war which caused a huge population decrease to the world and lower it's military strength
With one explosion everything that was near Asuto got blown away no matter who they may be, due to that both Alduin and Elijah was seriously injured as they lay on the ground
As for Horus a staff was currently supporting all his weight as he look ahead of him and glanced at all the destruction
"You've come all this way just to what? Anger me?" Asked Asuto as he walked out of the smoke
"If maintaining the survivability of the world resulted in you being angry, then I would take such risk" answered Horus
Hearing that Asuto slowly shook his head as he said
"I see... Your still as willful just like the day I met you, unfortunately your age couldn't keep up with your ambitious mind"
"....."
"Your growing old Horus, no to be exact your body is already old, a living fossil, an elder to all and yet your still unwilling to give up... I admire such ambition after all without ambition one can't improve"
At this moment Horus finally spoke up
"What nonsense are you spouting now? What you just said clearly does not make sense, what do you want?"
With that Asuto stopped in his tracks and glanced at the device he was protecting and saw that it was in a frozen state thus the timer has stopped working, but nevertheless he was still as calm as a gentle breeze upon seeing it's situation
"Your ambition... Is a bother, your presence is a bother, when the time that I almost succeeded, you on the other hand would always foil the plans, just like what happened now... Do you know how much work I inputted into this?"
As he asked this question Alduin quickly swept from behind and slashed his sword towards it neck
Noticing this Asuto quickly dodged as he turned and took a hold of Alduin's armor as he threw him to the ground with force Bei g applied
At this moment Elijah fired multiple shot towards Asuto only to get blocked by his barrier that seemed to absorb all the force from the attacks
With a thought of finishing off Alduin, Asuto then flipped his sword and thrusted his sword downwards only to be blocked by a translucent light that was obviously came from Horus
Seeing that Asuto took a quick glance at Horus as he sneered in disdain, due to that Alduin had enough time to escape from that position as he flew away and conjured an adamantine alloy beside him
Taking aim such alloy opened up its muzzle in six different direction as it accumulated energy
Seeing this Horus immediately applied various enhancing spell towards such an attack as Alduin fired off his big gun
"Adamantine Cannon!!!"
With a streak of light such powerful attack was then sent towards Asuto as the latter simply felt Insulted
"Space Time Cutter!!!"
With a swing of his sword a huge rift in space and time was suddenly opened as it sucked the attack coming from Alduin before closing up
Seeing this Alduin was simply dumbfounded as he sa what counter, luckily Horus immediately snapped him out of his daze
"Don't freeze! He can't use that continouesly, so you can expect that he will only use that when he felt bothered about it, continue attacking!"
Understanding that Alduin started aiming once more as he fired once, twice, and thrice more as Asuto simply blocked, absorb or deflect such attack
With a step, Asuto suddenly appeared beside Alduin which caught him off guard, unfortunately Horus already saw this coming as he casted his prepared spell
"Area freeze!!!"
In an instant the whole land around Alduin and Horus turned into a land of ice which entrapped his movements
Taking this chance Elijah begun aiming from afar as he accumulated energy at the tip of his arrow and hisana started leaking out as it is
Taking a firm stance Elijah then released his grip as he muttered
"Uranium arrow!!!"
Luckily thanks to him replaying the scene of Kaido rampaging in the Elven Nation, he clearly used such thing as a reference to create even more powerful arrow shots with such a thing
After inquiring some knowledge from Horus he finally was able to create multiple arrows with different attributes and his current shot was one of them
As it zoomed past the distance such an arrow successfully hits it's target which caused a huge mini nuclear explosion to erupt
At this moment Horus pulled Alduin over to escape at some safe distance from such an attack
Seeing this attack even Alduin was dumbfounded
"Are you kidding me? That's one destructive arrow... Just what had happened to him all this year's?"
Luckily Horus was near his vicinity thus his question was immediately answered
"A lot of things happened such as improving one's self is included"
Hearing that Alduin was turned speechless
At that moment all noise was then turned silent as Asuto slowly emerged from that explosion and was barely unscathed
"Is that it?"
"!!!"
"I'm quite disappointed, in our time such an attack power or fire power is already like a common thing back then, after all the civilization back then was like 100x powerful than today's generation, and by the looks of it Horus... You have also been affected by time, thus you have been slowly depreciating"
Hearing that Horus answered
"Of course I would depreciate I'm already old, I'm not in my prime... It's better to leave fate on the hands of the young one's"
At that Asuto shook his head in denial as he answered
"That's exactly why they have to die or eliminated, change, reform, whatever it may be called... The young ones are the people who carried on the will of its ancestors... unfortunately not all of them are righteous, many still stray from it's oath and slowly became a type of virus for the world, thus corrupting it from the inside... From that evil was born"
"....."
"You want proof? Simple, the boy named Kaido, he is a fruit of all those act of maliciousness, and I'm sure you know what made him that way right?"
"....."
"If my guess is right then humans made him into a monster that he is now correct?"
At that Horus could only give a sighed as such fact was actually the truth
"I knew it, evil isn't manifested, it's born from within due to some pushing it to it's limits, his existence is my living proof and gods are no exceptions"
With that Alduin and Elijah soon argued with him
"Gods? What do they have to do with all of this?" Asked Alduin
"There is a reason why God's are categorized as good you know" said Elijah
Hearing that Asuto simply snorted as he said
"Are you sure God's are good? Then why is there an evil God? Now answer this... If God is good all the time, then why did they sent you here in the first place?"
At this moment Elijah answered
"To defeat the demon king and save the world... Isn't that the trope?"
"Indeed... But did you know in order to do that you have to kill? And killing is categorized as a sin an act of evil and yet the gods called it retribution? An act of goodwill? Mercy killing? What kind of bullshit is that? Killing isn't categorized as good or evil, in fact it's useless to do so in the beginning since it's already a sin and act of evil from the very start and yet the gods implore you to do so"
Hearing that both Alduin and Elijah stopped on their tracks as they thought for a second
"Hear this, you say that killing the enemies demons, monsters and whatnot is an act to protect the lives of the good... But have you thought about this? What if those demons and monsters have a family of their own that they are trying to protect? What if them attacking and killing people was an act of defending it's important loved ones from harm just like how a mother protect it's child? What if they too were just defendimg their rights and existence from the discrimination and suffering from the other species?"
"....."
"If you out a demon in a sea of Human's then what will happen? Of course the humans would jeer and insult the demons as low life's since they always losses to humans in term of fighting, discrimination occurs, slavery happens, and most of all suffering and misery spreads... Now tell me? Who's the true evil?"
At this moment Elijah's hands shook as he started to form ideas in his mind and multiple images of demons and creatures he had killed over the days
Having the thought of them protecting someone and only for them to get killed, greatly shaken up his his ideals and resolve
"You may call yourself heroes but in the end your just murderers, a murderer who act righteous... Isn't that disgusting?"
With that question, Elijah who was completely shaken up finally got his resolve broken to pieces as he dropped all pretense of fighting back
After all he's just a child on the inside and still a child on the outside
Even though he's a hero, he is still considered as a child in the eyes of the society
Now with a thought of being a murderer flashes through his mind has completely shaken him up, after thinking that what he did was right, his beliefs was completely shattered as he realized that what he did was the same kind of thing that a murderer would do
With that Horus immediately went over to Elijah as the latter immediately kneeled on its knees and was completely shaken up
As Horus tries to console Elijah, Alduin on the other hand to pointed it's weapon towards Asuto
"Your doing this on purpose, do you think I would be shaken up? I'm not an innocent child"
"Is that so?"
"It is"
With a step Alduin charged towards Asuto with all he had and started to have an intense battle against him with all pretense of releasing all he had against him
At this moment when dodging his attack, Asuto then talked to Alduin while fighting
"Did you know? Out of all three heroes that has been picked, you by far is the weakest of them all"
"....."
"You have nothing but your machines... Take those off and you'll be just like any other citizens of this world... Ordinary"
Upon hearing that Alduin swept up the ground as he fired two cannon shot towards Asuto in point blank range as he followed it up with a barrage of laser and missile attacks
"I clearly knew that... That's why I kept improving myself especially my technology... I've already went to many wars, thus i know I've reached my limit, with that since many people have an outstanding ambitions and potentials, then I'll just have to leave the future to them" said Alduin as he attack and was blasted away
"So your not ambitious?"
"You could say that"
"In that case..."
In an instant Asuto disappeared on the spot and appeared behind Alduin as he casted a spell
"Discharge!!!"
In an instant that wave force was injected towards Alduin, all machinery on his body including his armor, finally shattered to pieces which left him with his bare clothes as his top
Seeing his machines being destroyed, Alduin had no choice but to endure it since after all Asuto was way beyond his league
But the next moment clearly came unexpected as Asuto took this chance and slashed Alduin across his chest before phasing behind him as he stabbed the sword through Alduin's chest, which shocked both Elijah and Horus
With that Asuto muttered
"... I have no use for you, so die"
