Chapter 122 - the day there was no salvation

[Day 25 month 12 year K503]

..

The smell of blood and burnt flesh resonated in the air.

The ancient city of Sharia had now become a battle zone

Hundreds of corpses spread out against a single person, at first humanity was about to win, and the enthusiasm grew when the enemy retreated to the north of the demon continent.

The human army pursued their enemy throughout the demon continent, but they never defended themselves along the way, only fleeing to the north.

Dragon God Orsted didn't know the reason even though he had already fought against the enemy countless times.

The enemy passed from the north of the demon continent to the sky continent where only the strongest could follow him.

The Demon God Laplace who had been reborn and reached his physical maturity had declared war against humanity.

But to their surprise, humanity was fully prepared.

The demon army that Laplace gathered was quickly depleted by human armies from around the world when it had barely reached the wind port in Millis.

Laplace believed that he alone could fight this army and he was right.

He personally fought with the humans who, despite being stronger than before, were still no match for Laplace.

Laplace believed that his victory was imminent until without warning the Dragon God arrived along with 3 Northern Gods, the Sword Goddess and more warriors.

Laplace could only recognize two of these warriors

Dragon King Peragius Dolla and Ruigerd Superdia, the two people who contributed to bringing him to ruin by being sealed for over 500 years

Laplace's anger was not long in coming and he attacked this army.

But the Dragon God and Peragius were stronger than he believed.

With just one swing of the Dragon God's sword, Laplace's arm fell off without being able to regenerate.

Her magic was decimated by 2 human magicians, one with blue hair and one human from the Long Ears Tribe white haired

Laplace began to feel overwhelmed, the Dragon God alone was infinitely stronger than the 7 heroes who originally defeated him.

-raaaaah, I curse you son of a bitch!!!- Laplace shouted in anger as he lunged at the Dragon God

The Dragon God repelled his attacks with great ease and caused huge wounds, sealing much of his power.

When Laplace tried to attack, the Dragon God or Peragius or a North God repelled him.

If he tried to escape, the God of Death, or the Sword Goddess they blocked his way

There were too many powerful warriors, even if only one surpassed him in power, it was enough to make him fall to his knees.

Desperate and full of rage, Laplace launched a suicide attack that destroyed half of the great forest, allowing him to escape.

Laplace felt completely humiliated.

Races from all over the world united to defeat him and his hard-earned army.

Although he was blinded by anger, Laplace was like any other living being and wanted to live.

..

After several hours of flying back to the Demon Continent, Laplace hid in the ruins of Fort Necroos.

-If only Atofe had agreed to help me..-Laplace muttered as he leaned against a wall and healed his wounds.

With the help of Atofe and Badigadi, things would have been totally different.

But with Badigadi missing and Atofe fighting on the human side, Laplace's defeat is imminent.

Even though he had moved thousands of kilometers away from Millis Laplace, he could feel the human army approaching, but he was too exhausted so he decided to rest and continue fleeing.

Laplace did not realize when he fell asleep, but when he opened his eyes he woke up in a room completely covered in white.

What?!...what is this place?!..

-Hello Laplace! It seems you are in a big mess- a faceless, white, human-shaped figure told him in a playful tone.

Who are you? Am I already dead?

-You're not dead, but if you keep resting there like an idiot you could die soon! And if you ask me, my name is Hitogami! - the faceless figure said in a playful tone.

Very well...Hitogami...what do you want from me?...

-Hehe, I don't want anything from you, what's more I need your help or rather, we both need each other's help!- Hitogami declared

Laplace smiled grimly as he stood up.

Help?..hehe..how could you help me with this?, The Dragon God is with the fucking humans and that guy can easily kill me!!!

-Calm down, calm down! If you listen to my advice I will give you something that will help you defeat the humans and even the Dragon God!! But in exchange you must do something for me- Hitogami said enthusiastically.

And what is it?..

Hitogami made an evil smile although only his teeth could be seen so it was a chilling sight.

-I just need you to kill the Dragón God-Hitogami said with a chilling smile but that made Laplace smile too

If you give me the power, the first thing I'll do is kill that bastard!!

-Very well my friend! Ahemh!....Demon God Laplace, Flee to the continent of heaven, go to the highest mountain, avoid the deepest valley and dive into the river of tears, there you will find the weapon that will help you defeat humanity!!- Hitogami said excitedly

...what's there?

-Oh? Don't you trust me? But it's okay, there is a super powerful armor similar to the one you created but more stable and effective- Hitogam explained.

A more effective and stable armor? What do you mean?...

-...that armor will only consume your mana instead of life expectancy- Hitogami said starting to get irritated

Very well...I will do it..

..

Immediately upon awakening Laplace flew further north.

The human army was hot on his heels but their target was the armor.

In less than 6 hours Laplace flew across the entire Demon Continent and arrived at the Sky Continent.

He continued flying relentlessly to the center of the sky continent.

He cross the highest mountain, I avoided the deepest valley and plunged into the lake of tears

At the bottom of the lake was a suit of armor and beneath it was a summoning circle.

Laplace quickly got into the armor, his severed arm immediately regenerated, his magic seals were broken and with just a little bit of mana stuffed into the armor the power that Laplace felt it was intoxicating

With the armor I cross the entire sky continent to the central continent

First he attacked the cities to the north, then the sacred land of the sword

He then went straight to the conflict zone where he razed all the small kingdoms including Gardenia.

The human army arrived right after that but Laplace was already unstoppable.

Not even the Dragon God, who was presumed to be the strongest being in the world, could do anything against Laplace.

The armor increased its power more than 100 times with a minuscule amount of mana.

Unlike the 20-fold increase in the Fighting God's armor

Laplace was drunk with power and no one could stop him

Half of the central continent was wiped off the map in less than a day

The three Northern Gods and Ruigerd Superdia were the first to fall.

Peragius Dolla, Roxy Migurdia, and Sylphiette Greyrat fled to the Chaos Breaker to find a way to deactivate the MK3.

The only one who could know how to deactivate it was Lili Greyrath but Laplace razed Roa in the blink of an eye before Orsted's army reached her

The next to fall were Ruigerd Superdia and the Goddess of the North after Laplace attacked Bihereil

A few days later it became known that a girl could revive the dead in battle.

This girl was a nameless Miko

Peragius took this girl to the Chaos Breaker to help with a last minute experiment

Bring back Rudeus Greyrat

While on the surface Laplace was ravaging the world, in the skies and in the interiors of the Chaos Breaker It was about finding a way to beat Laplace

With the remains of Rudeus Greyrat's corpse, Roxy Migurdia tried to make a resurrection spell with the help of the Miko Girl whose powers were enhanced by magic circles

Although they tried, nothing could be done.

They only rejuvenated the body of Rudeus' corpse until it had its appearance when he was 16 years old.

Despair fell on everyone and a great explosion was heard on the surface.

The explosion was so massive that the shockwave reached the Chaos Breaker, causing destruction.

On the surface Laplace had completely destroyed the Millis continent with a supercharged God-level fire spell.

Laplace was intercepted in Sharia by Orsted and became the site of a one-sided beating

Laplace defeated Orsted easily, leaving him on the brink of death.

Orsted was close to death but was instantly saved by Almanfi and Peragius.

In Chaos Breaker Orsted's wounds were healed but hope was lost.

Sieghart Saladin Greyrat, Lucy Grimoire Greyrat, Lili Greyrath, Ars and Christina Greyrat all killed in the crossfire

Only Lata Greyrat of Rudeus Greyrat's children survived but she was in a state of trance from the total shock of the crushing defeat.

There was nothing that could be done but Nananoshi Shizuka had an idea

-What if we send Rudeus from the past to a time before Laplace is reborn?- she suggested.

- What do you mean? - Sylphiette Greyrat was the first to ask.

-What if we try to summon a Rudeus in the past like I was summoned to this world, but with Rudeus it would be at least a year before Laplace is reborn- Nanahoshi explained

Nanahoshi's idea seemed impossible but there was no more hope.

The next day another explosion was felt on the surface and it was stronger.

The entire central continent was evaporated without a trace by a single man

The preparations for the past summoning circle were completed thanks to the help of Peragius Dolla, Orsted, Nanahoshi Shizuka and the Nameless Miko.

The result was better than they expected, using the rejuvenated corpse of Rudeus they wanted to make a starting point and the arrival point would be one year before Laplace's birth.

But also with tiny adjustments to the circle they were able to give abilities to this Rudeus

Dragon Aura, copied from techniques and also his body would be strengthened with each battle that he would have

The cost of making this invocation was too high

The life force of all those present was needed to perform it.

Those present agreed and sacrificed their lives to make the invocation.

Peragius's last decree before he died to his light spirits was to bring down the Chaos Breaker

As soon as the summoning circle was activated, the life force of everyone present was drained, dying instantly, but the result was successful...

The Rudeus Greyrat from another timeline was brought to the future..
