Happy 100th chapter! :D (not including extras)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since Grey completed all his missions, he decided to accompany Andrea and his friends on the journey to "defeat" the Demon King. He didn't want Andrea to be some mediocre Hero, so Grey helped him find all eight Holy Relics, making Andrea the strongest Hero in all of history.
The Gods saw this as a threat.
Still, Andrea did as a Hero should and went straight for the Demon King, only to team up with him and point their swords at the Gods. Andrea, the current Hero and the former Saint, was able to gather their memories with every relic, solidifying his hatred for the Gods.
Grey didn't mind fighting against the Gods in this epic battle.
Ten years later, Grey and Reyner sacrificed their lives to kill the Gods and save Andrea and Zolous. Even though they left the world much quicker than the others, they were happy to have left together. Grey felt he would be able to live a long life in the next world with God System.

With the help of Grey and Reyner, Andrea and Zolous were able to live happily ever after. First as humans, and then as Gods. They watched over the world together, ensuring that another incident like this never happened again.
Felicia on the other hand, actually married a Prince from some random country, helping her husband not only govern the country but protect it. She became known as a Sage and Queen.
As for Micah, he mourned the loss of Grey and Reyner but he still continued to live on. He knew that Grey would be upset that he died prematurely because he had once saved his life. So Micah took everything Grey taught him and helped others, saving people but also bringing in disciples. He became known as the Alchemist Doctor. He only used his alchemy to make medicine and nothing else. Micah also never married anyone in the end.
As for Genji, he actually married Lamine and the two traveled the world together. They went through all sorts of labyrinths and mazes, honing their skills and searching for treasure. When they got old, they settled in Genji's home country in the far east where they had four children.
As for Tassilo, the guild master of the Labyrinth City, Ebrose, retired in old age and lived his life traveling the world to find the perfect place to die.
All the while, he grieved for his friend, Edwin, who left the world too early.
*****
[Welcome back, Grey. If I were a moment too late, God System's soul and your soul would've been damaged! I didn't think you would fight against the Gods like that!]
The moment Grey came back, System 225 was already scolding him. It was justifiable though, so he listened to the lecture that lasted a few hours.
[Anyway, you did a good job with completing this world with the limited amount of information we were given. This will be a lot more frequent, so be prepared.]
"What a hassle, but we are more than halfway through. Let's stay cautious but power through."
[That's the best we can do. I will be sure to be more useful in the next world.]
"I will be relying on you. Hopefully, it's a world with the internet… Oh yeah, will God System's soul be okay after we left so early?"
[It should be fine. You found him quite early and he was satisfied dying together with you. It seems it made up for when you died in front of him in the last world. You also fulfilled your promise by going to a hot spring together. He was content when I pulled him out of that world.]
"Thank goodness. Fighting those Gods was really tough, but it was worth it to know that Andrea and Zolous are watching over the world together and no longer forced to fight with one another."
[I agree. I thought you were going to give up on saving them, but who knew you would pull something like that at the end. It's not every day Hosts get to fight against Gods… try not to do that again. We are foreign entities with a disadvantage because they are at their home base. If I was a second too late-]
"Alright, alright, no need for the lecture again. I promise not to do that again."
At first, Grey thought it was best for someone else to save Andrea and Zolous. When he saw their determination, he felt compelled to help them. That was why he did everything he could to defeat the Gods. How Grey and Reyner beat those Gods was a story for another time.
System 225 stared at him for a moment before sighing. He was gonna say something else but suddenly, Arisa and System 505 came back.
[Eh? Aren't you two supposed to be in--]
Arisa and System 505 collapsed on the ground. Arisa wasn't injured but System 505 had wounds all over her body. She had already fainted and was no longer conscious.
Arisa looked up, tears in her eyes. "Please, System 505 is injured because she rescued me."
System 225 rushed over to System 505 to stabilize her condition while Grey calmed Arisa down.
After she stopped crying, she explained what happened.
"We ran into a problem with the plot. It was altered by the Villain System. We found out too late though… The virus tried to latch itself onto me but System 505 saved me. We rushed out but she got injured by the virus on our way out."
To think that the Villain System had spread so far…
[It would be best if you and System 505 stayed here from now on. Though your soul is weak, it's best to continue when it's safe. Grey can continue but System 505 is currently injured. She won't be awake for a while. Her soul has a bit of contamination so she won't be able to leave any time soon anyway.]
Arisa was a bit shocked but she knew System 225 was correct. "I understand. I will help you take care of System 505."
Grey got up and looked at System 225. "I will head out to the next world. The quicker I finish these worlds, the faster we can get rid of the Villain System."
[I understand. I will transfer you over.] System 225 grabbed the mini UniOrb and held it out in front of Grey.
Grey put his hand on it and closed his eyes.
[Transfering in 3… 2… 1… transfer complete. Good luck with your endeavors, Grey.]
