A formless entity in the world of emptiness was stamping its foot against the cold floor of the place in despair.
The echo of the blows could only be heard by this entity at this moment.
The entity known as Hitogami had been on the ropes for the past few decades, and the resurrection of Rudeus Greyrat didn't help matters.
-If you don't do what I tell you, I'll kill you!!- Hitogami shouted angrily
-No, I won't, even if I attack them, they will kill me!!- a man shouted in response to Hitogami
-Damn coward!!!- Hitogami shouted, pulling the man out of the void world
What Hitogami now tries to do is recruit weak apostles to infiltrate the shadows and slowly destabilize Orsted and his allies.
There have been too many attempts, but each and every one of them flatly refuses when they hear the name "Orsted Corp"
As the name implies, it is the personal company of the Dragon God Orsted.
Anyone stupid or brave enough to attack her would die instantly.
-Shit!! Damn cowardly humans!!- Hitogami shouted falling to his knees
This becomes another failure for Hitogami in trying to manipulate a human into attacking Rudeus or Orsted Corp.
Hitogami is now desperately searching the world for a potential candidate.
-Rudeus' children...why can't I access them!! Shit!!- Hitogami shouted
-.....if only he could manipulate someone in his inner circle...Clifth Grimoire?...no..he just believes in that Millis nonsense- Hitogami muttered analyzing the entire world
-Rostelina Dragonroad?.....Paz Shirone JR?...no no no!! Nothing works!!!- Hitogami screamed on the verge of madness
For some reason Hitogami didn't understand that Rudeus Greyrat's house and Orsted Corp were not visible to him
if he could just see either of them he would have a better idea of how to make his plans.
But suddenly...a small crack of visibility formed in Rudeus Greyrat's house, 3 individuals in particular
-Is it possible?....- Hitogami murmured with hope growing again within him.
-3 individuals.. Hilda, Nolan and Romira Migurdia, they don't seem to be related to Rudeus...hehehe this could work- Hitogami muttered with a malevolent smile
..

-Nolan Pov-

I can't believe it!! - I just met my idol!, the great Rudeus Greyrat!
I spent a couple of hours with my team talking to him and I learned so many things!!! If it were up to me I would stay talking to him all day!!
The truth is it was a little awkward since I found out that the guy that me and my group rescued in Rapam was the original Rudeus Greyrat....but...suddenly something clicked in head...
A vague memory...he said he was in the teleportation labyrinth and suddenly appeared outside of it...
If my calculations are correct when Rudeus and the Black Wolf Fangs were in the labyrinth was in the year K423... so it wasn't a resurrection?....or was he confused?....
This thought overwhelmed me tremendously to the point that my happiness at meeting him was overshadowed by doubt.
Did a young Rudeus Greyrat travel back in time? Or did he lose decades of memory when he was reincarnated?
I don't want to know...I wouldn't like to...
My group and I had dinner, celebrated and went to bed... Hilda fell asleep and hugged me but I had a hard time sleeping, the questions wouldn't leave my head....
When it was past midnight and I was finally able to sleep...
..
..
-What? What's going on? - I murmured, surprised.
The last thing I remember was trying to sleep and....
Is this a dream? I suppose so... but it's very strange... everything here is soft and there is a thick fog that covers me up to my knees...
Looking ahead I could see the silhouette of a man but I couldn't form it becauseHe gives me the impression of a thin man but he has no face or concrete shape.....
-Hello!- The man said in a friendly tone as he walked towards me.
What should I answer? It's a dream, right?
-Oh hehe, let me tell you that I'm not a dream if that's what you mean- the faceless man said, I could see a creepy smile forming on his face
What the fuck? Can you read my thoughts?!
-Yes, I can, how about we communicate that way, huh? - The man in white said smile
i guess...what are you?
-Oh me? I am the god of humans, but you can call me Hitogami- The faceless being said
I immediately reacted to this.
The human god?!, like the one from ancient mythology?!!
-hehe exactly the same- Hitogami replied
I-I see...and what does the human god want from me?
-Don't be so formal, boy! I need a big favor, but first I want to explain to you why.
Why? Something bad happens?
-So to speak, you see...I can see all the people in this world including Rudeus Greyrat, but let me give you the sad news that the man you met is not the real Rudeus Greyrat.- Hitogami explained
What?!!, it's not the real one?, then why does everyone treat it like that?!!
-Wow, calm down boy! Let me explain....The Dragon God wants to kill me- Hitogami said with a serious expression
I was shocked at this
why does the Dragon God want to kill the human god?...
-In answer to your question, why does the Dragon God want to destroy the world! And I will tell you how he plans to do it!- Hitogami said
I stared at him for an answer.
-ahem!, you see, a long time ago there were 6 worlds!, the human world, the dragon world, the beast world, the demon world, the world of the Skyfolks and the world of the people of the sea people- Hitogami said staring at me
-All these worlds lived in harmony thousands of years ago but...one day...the Dragon God Laplace betrayed his own race and killed all the dragon generals! And he was not satisfied with that, he manipulated to the high ranks of the demon world and the beast world so that they would fight each other!, and the war spread across 5 of the 6 worlds!- Hitogami explained to me
-But the Dirty Laplace didn't want to stop there! So he destroyed 5 of the 6 worlds one by one, and as I am a benevolent god, I let the survivors of the other worlds enter to the human world and that is why all the races of the world exist - Hitogami explained
I just listened to the story in shock.
-Laplace only needed to destroy this world to win! But with my help the great Aldebaran managed to defeat him and divided his soul into...3 parts!!, The first and second are the evil parts Both want to destroy the world and only one of them was defeated by the 7 heroes of humanity!, the third part is the god of techniques and fortunately this part of his soul just wants to spread his techniques around the world so there is no need to worry.- Hitogami explained
And...what about the other evil part!?...
-The other evil part changed its name and deceived the world to make an alliance against itself- Hitogami said
The Dragon God Orsted is a fragment of Laplace's soul?!
-You deduced it correctly! When the other half of the monster is reborn, they will merge and he will turn against the allies he formed! Laplace will be unstoppable and will destroy the world!, they will kill all the humans and the descendants of the survivors of the other races!! - Hitogami explained with terror
My idol was manipulated like this?!....I can't believe it...
-Unfortunately, if Nolan, poor Rudeus Greyrat was manipulated until the day of his death by Laplace... now this despicable being is using an impostor to reinforce his "allies" around the world- Hitogami said sadly and contemptuously at the end
But... then why is this fragment of Laplace forming an alliance against it?
-I'm glad you asked!! Laplace wants the humans themselves to look for their other fragment so that their fusion is faster!- Hitogami said
And...and if they succeed then...all life in the world will disappear?
-Indeed, and then they will come for me! And everything will be lost- Hitogami said dejectedly.
And what can a human like me do to help stop it?!
-Calm down Nolan... you are not the only one, I will give you instructions in the next few days, but let it be clear to you! You must not talk to anyone about me contacting you! You must not act violently In front of the impostor of Rudeus or Laplace, if you do this you will be killed and the world will be destroyed, can I trust you? - Hitogami asked me
Of course sir! I will be waiting for instructions and I will not let you down!.
-Heh...I hope so...- Hitogami said and his body began to blur until it disappeared from my sight and then.....
I woke up
