"I'm here," said James as he stepped out of the shadows, carrying two Uzi rifles with fully-loaded ammunition in their casings.

"Time really can change a person. Look at the coward who attacks secretly - it seems the Allfather Odin has been proven right," said Gerald.

"If you know who I am, it means you've been living as a gangster for long enough. But it's time for you to leave this meaningless life behind," said James as he raised the Uzis and pulled the trigger.

The sky decorated with the full moon radiated a brilliant light, witnessing the barrage of bullet casings fired by James. His almost silent voice was muffled by a silencer mounted on the muzzle end of an Uzi gun. The series of rifle bullets disappeared in an instant, but Gerald still stood firm and unmoved without the slightest wound.

James was stunned to see that as if he were dreaming of seeing a human who couldn't be shot by a firearm.

"Now it's my turn," said Gerald in one jump, already in front of James. He delivered a full-powered punch aimed squarely at the solar plexus.

Right before the punch landed on James' body, he managed to block it by crossing his arms. Even so, the force of the punch sent James flying a few meters back until his back hit a metal container. 

“BRAK!” The loud sound echoed throughout the area as the impact between James' body and the container reverberated. James tried his best to remain standing despite having to bend over from the pain, fresh blood pouring from his mouth due to the hard impact. He mustered up all his strength to support his body and noticed that his left arm had blackened from blocking Gerald's attack. It was clear that, although the bone hadn't broken, it had still been cracked by the force of the punch.

"Great...so great," James said in awe. "You're the first person alive and able to stand up after receiving my attack. It's not wrong that you used to occupy the top of the underworld and earned the title of the strongest fighter. But now is a very different era, James. The strength you are proud of no longer has any meaning. Now look at my true strength. With the power of this aura, you don't need firearms or any sneaky tricks, and everything will submit under you."

Gerald then concentrated his aura on his right hand and continued his words. "Now is the time for you to accept your death, Allfather! Your heyday is over!"

Gerald lunged again with incredible speed, directing his fist towards James' chest. But James, who had been on the lookout, could clearly read Gerald's movements, so he quickly reacted with an unexpected counterattack.

Gerald's extraordinary speed was both an advantage and a disadvantage. Due to his incredible speed, he couldn't possibly stop his body's movements instantly. So James used this to his advantage, tripping Gerald's feet and sending him flying several meters.

"Bastard!" said Gerald, grinning. He had never expected that an ordinary human would be able to match his movements that had been strengthened by aura.

On the other side, James was completely unable to keep up with all aspects of Gerald's physical abilities, which had gone far beyond human common sense. So James concluded that the only thing that could hurt such an opponent was himself.

He tightened his resolve and launched his attack. Now the man with long shoulder-length hair and a stocky body was attacking even crazier. What James saw at this time really broke his common sense. With his own eyes, he witnessed the blue aura emitted by Gerald slowly transforming into ten swords that flew around his back.

"Okay! Let's start this fun," said Gerald.

In an instant, the swords flying on Gerald's back shot out. James tried desperately to dodge them, but the swords were too fast. Unavoidably, the aura blades sliced and pierced his body, and his blood began to flow like melting ice in the summer.

Realizing he was in a dangerous position, James tried to escape from Gerald, searching for loopholes and opportunities to finish him off. But no matter what he tried, the extreme difference in strength was too great for him to overcome, even with his genius brain. His body was torn apart as he ran to and fro, taking cover among the goods containers.

"Looks like it's time for me to end this," said Gerald. "I thank you, O King, for losing me to the city. You have relieved my boredom."

Gerald changed the shape of his aura sword into a stake. It was simpler and smaller, but there were many more of them. He strafed in all directions, leaving James with nowhere to hide.

Even with his brilliant brain, James still couldn't find a way to beat or outsmart Gerald. For the first time in his life, he felt tremendous pressure because he couldn't find the slightest chance to win. James continued to be under pressure without being able to provide any counterattack.

The situation continued to drag on until it forced James out of his hiding place. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, Gerald immediately launched a final attack in the form of an aura in the form of a large sword. In a fraction of a second, the aura blade stabbed into James' chest, piercing backward until it made a hole in his body.

James lay sprawled in a pool of blood, collapsing in front of Gerald.

“Aarrghh!” groaned James, who apparently wasn't dead even though his chest had a gaping hole. His anger kept him alive, his thirst for revenge making him reject death. With all the will of his soul, James was still trying to get up to be able to avenge himself.

In a state of life and death, conscious and unconscious, James heard a voice whispering harshly, pushing into his ears. Awakening his thinning self-awareness, it made James realize again that he could not die until his revenge was avenged.

"I hear the screams of your anger, child, as beautiful as the whimpering of a sheep that has lost its mother. Therefore, I will lend you my strength," said the mysterious voice to James in a very heavy tone. James couldn't make out the shape of the figure; it was all black and dark. But from the echo of its voice, James could tell that the one speaking to him was not human but an entity of a size far beyond that of a human.

"Who are you, and where am I?" shouted James.

"One day, we shall meet," the figure replied. "But for now, if you want to live and avenge yourself, you must swallow the fire that lies before you."

Then, a black flame appeared and was accompanied by a change in the dark room to a completely white. Without any hesitation, James grabbed the flame and swallowed it all.

    The dead man suddenly woke up in an all-white room. James, who didn't realize that he had annihilated an entire dimension, thought he was in the same dimension where he was about to swallow the power of eternal fire.James looked right and left, "Come out Surtr, the same game won't work for me," he said.Not long after, a huge sound echoed throughout the room as the place transformed into a space landscape filled with galaxies and stars."Where do you think you are James? This is not Surtr's dimension," said the voice.Soon the figure behind the voice also appeared, which turned out not to be Surtr. His form was much different from the Fire Giant King. He, who had not yet introduced himself, revealed a form that was so majestic. His wings numbered hundreds of pieces, stretched from end to end, white robes full of light, and had such a large embodiment. The power he exuded was unquestionable, so great was the power emanating from him that it far surpassed even the evolved Chairman Kenr

    "Whoever you are now I really don't care, in my eyes you are nothing more than an entity that has overstepped your bounds and shamelessly pretended to be God," said James."What did you say!" said Chairman Kenrich.James' anger was now indistinct as it mixed with various other emotions. I don't know what he is feeling right now, but there are various things that are filling his head due to the great disaster caused by Chairman Kenrich, the first master and one of the people he used to trust the most.The death of millions of people around the world is a heartbreaking thing. There were children who lost their parents, parents who lost their children, siblings who lost their siblings, and lovers who were separated from their soulmates.The ongoing disasters and chaos around the world have also worsened the chances of survivors. The cries of anguish from those left behind seemed to seep into James' heart and mind, making his anger unstoppable.Like a flash flood, James' rage continued to

    Those who were struck by the black-colored spears did not just die, their bodies would be left alive for a while until they finally died from the fire until they were scorched to dust. The human population, which was originally no less than seven billion in less than a minute, was drastically reduced to only seventy million.Ninety-nine percent of the human population was wiped out in an instant by the attack launched by Chairman Kenrich. His title as the strongest entity was not just a title, he carried out the massive attack that almost wiped out the entire human population as if it was nothing to him. His breath was as breathless as ever, not even a drop of sweat appeared on him and his state was still the same as it was before he unleashed his great power.Instead of being afraid, James was furious because of this. To him, Chairman Kenrich was not the person who should be passing judgment on humans or demons, especially since none of the gods were affected by the attack."Dammit,

    Just before Chairman Kenrich launched his attack, Samael came crashing in with his full-body materialization technique. The deputy lucifer had predicted that his colleagues' attacks would not succeed in reaching Chairman Kenrich. So he took a step back to activate his abilities.In that instant, it seemed that Samael was not the only one who saw the opportunity to attack Chairman Kenrich. From the opposite direction of his attack, James also came with his full power."Got ya!" said James.The Odin Allfather, who realized he was in a tight spot, used his time control ability. With a single stroke of his gungnir spear, the area around him was slowed down.This power would have been very effective against an ordinary being like Samael, but it would have been completely ineffective against James. He continued to move at the same speed because the power of the eternal flame he used annihilated any influence from outside James' body.TRANG! TRANG! James' sword and Chairman Kenrich's Tomban

    James then sped up, directing his feet towards Scarlet. As quickly as possible and as much as he could, he had to reach the sephiroth tree to destroy all the fragments that were now on Scarlet's chest.With the chaos that existed in that place, James continued to dodge the various attacks that came at him. It was not easy to move amidst the crowd of creatures from other dimensions, who were currently fighting an all-out battle to annihilate each other. But then Brandr suddenly appeared beside James."I know your goal is to get to the sephiroth tree. Let us open the way for you, sir," Brandr said."All right, Brandr, do it! We must immediately prevent this great war from escalating," said James.Brandr then ordered the Fire giants to make a way for James. He who was previously near the sephiroth tree, was pushed back far enough to be hundreds of meters away from the tree.With the fire giants opening the way, the crowd that was blocking the way for James was cleared. After a while, a s

  • Chapter 168 - The Last War 2

    "Listen to me, you selfish bastards who don't care about the fate of the world. I know you are so disgusted with this world that you want to destroy it. But are you willing for the world to be destroyed by other entities and not by your own hands? I say again, are you willing for this world to be destroyed by entities other than humans?!" Samael said loudly.The speech was then immediately responded to by the devil worshipers with a spirit that was shouted together. Now the human side is no longer divided, all of them are fighting with the same goal, namely to temporarily protect the world. Even though the devil worshipers still want to destroy the world, but they can at least delay it until this war ends.James, who was helped by Samael's words, was finally able to focus on preventing the disaster in that place from expanding. Although not much, but at least the demon worshippers will be able to provide assistance to prevent the great war of Ragnarok from expanding.It was only momen
