‘It’s a disaster.’

Akasha’s mind spins furiously. Although I knew that everything would be just an illusion, there was no suitable way to deal with the situation I was currently facing.

‘I never thought the hero would grab my ankle now…’

There is one simple yet obvious solution. Akasha himself descends to the lower world.

It’s true that demons have a hard time with the warrior, but it was really nothing to the current Akasha.

He kills Wayne in an instant and comes back. Akasha thought that if she was lucky, she would be able to escape Stella and Prinia’s gaze once again and steal the faith of other gods.

‘Maybe it’s not that bad.’

It will be considerably later than the original plan of using demons to reduce the number of humans and elves and then weakening the power of Stella and Prinia and taking away their power at once, but even if you go to Moro, as long as you reach your destination, isn’t that enough?

The decision has been made. Now all you have to do is take action. However, some unknown anxiety continued to knock on Akasha’s alertness.

‘What am I missing?’

Akasha thought over and over again, wondering if there was something she hadn’t figured out, but the more she thought about it, the more she realized that there wasn’t much of a problem.

Akasha left Stella and Prinia behind and headed to the underworld, as the anxiety that did not go away was bothersome and she could not keep worrying about it.

“It’s earlier than planned, but it’s goodbye for a while. See you later.”

“Akasha! Stand there!”

Naturally, Stella and Prinia, who had no bodies to operate in the underworld, were unable to capture Akasha.

“……Gone. That guy isn’t planning on going on a rampage in the underworld, is he?”

“It can’t be… No, there’s a possibility. Because he didn’t become a god in a normal way.”

“Are you planning on messing with Wayne with the demons? If that’s the case, things will turn out easier than you think.”

Even though they lost Akasha, the two showed no signs of panic or urgency. This is because the two already knew the identity of the anxiety Akasha felt as she descended to the underworld.

“If you underestimate the causality, you will be in big trouble.”

“It’s already out of our hands. Let’s see how that guy’s behavior will turn out.”

Stella’s tone of voice contained a hope that there would be a huge repercussion for Akasha.

“Wow!”

Wayne, who was cutting through the demons like a fish out of water, felt something unusual coming from the other side of the army. Wayne became alert as he felt a strong warning coming from the divine power within his body.

‘what? ‘Is he the devil?’

Naturally, Wayne was a warrior, but he never actually faced the devil. So, I didn’t even know that the position of the Demon King was currently vacant.

However, I was confident that if I could defeat the owner of the demonic energy I felt now, I would be able to put an end to this chaos.

“Everyone, step back. Don’t just throw away your precious life.”

Rhenias, who could not help but notice the tragedy caused by Wayne, personally attended. The demons who were disorderly following the demon king candidate’s orders suddenly moved away from Wayne.

“…Are you the devil of your time?”

“There is no devil of our time. The first person to conquer this place will become the Demon King. Even though it wasn’t something we agreed on. So are you a warrior of your time?”

“Yes.”

“I heard what you said earlier, but… I can’t believe it. It seems like the warriors of long ago weren’t as strong as you.”

“You say you fought a hero…”

Wayne swallowed. Thousands of years have passed since Prinia separated the world from the demon world. In other words, it meant that the demon standing in front of her was an older demon.

In addition, it also meant that he survived despite facing a hero. Thousands of years ago from now.

Then, it was Wayne who had no idea just how strong he was right now.

“If possible, I would like to at least resolve the issue with the human hero I haven’t seen in a long time, but unfortunately time is running out. I have to carry out the task asked by the guy who took us out of that barrier.”

“After all, it is Akasha. I thought it was a crazy dragon, but I never thought it would be crazy enough to collude with demons…”

“What. It’s quite predictable. In the first place, weren’t they the ones who leisurely watched the life forms on your planet in the past when they fiercely fought against us?”

“If a traitor appears on our planet, it has to be a dragon…”

“I wonder if this should be called betrayal in the first place. Because they are not on your side in the first place.”

Wayne didn’t bother to respond to those words. If there is anything he misunderstands, it is that it is thanks to one of those dragons, Arjen, that Wayne is able to show off his overwhelming skills.

There is no need to correct what the other person overlooks. So instead of answering, Wayne held out his sword.

“Okay. Is this the end of the conversation?”

Rhenias also drew his sword in response. The ugly dark-colored sword contrasted with the white holy sword.

Hmm.

Kaang!

Two flashes of light crossed each other with a breath that I couldn’t tell who exhaled first. They were both taken aback by the repulsion they each felt, but Rhenias was more surprised.

“…I understand after bumping into it. It’s not just divine power.”

Rhenias guessed the strength of his opponent and filled his magic energy with all his might. However, he felt an unknown fear from the golden energy that was eating away his demonic energy, trying to suppress his divine power.

“…Can you hold on to this?”

Wayne had a shocked expression on his face when he saw the other person who was just like Wayne. Unlike Rhenias, who was just entering the battle, Wayne had finished warming up by slaughtering the demon troops.

He intended to finish off his opponent in one go with an unexpected blow by exerting all his strength in his fully relaxed body, but Rhenias was able to withstand it.

Grumble….

Because it was not completely blocked, Rhenias’s grip on the sword was torn and blood flowed out. Before the surrounding demons could even be surprised by the sight, Wayne rushed in once again.

‘End it quickly and quickly!’

Wayne attributed the difference in experience to the fact that Lenias blocked his attack. Therefore, he decided that the longer the war progressed, the more disadvantaged he would be.

The judgment itself was correct. The problem is that it didn’t work out as intended.

“!?”

A force so powerful that Wayne, who was about to carry out a surprise attack, automatically stopped, burst from inside Akasha’s lair. Unfortunately, Wayne was able to identify the energy right away.

‘Akasha…!’

The reason Wayne came here was because he heard the story through Rube, who had returned first. Therefore, I understand that Eugene and Arjen are still in the rare.

And as if to laugh at that thought, Akasha came out of the lair in an instant. The face filled with anger somehow made the viewer lose their will to fight.

“Hero… I never thought that this unexpected guy would become an obstacle to my plan.”

Feeling suffocated as if he was facing God, Wayne opened his eyes and held on to his trembling body.

‘Calm down, body. This is an illusion…!’

In fact, Wayne’s feelings were exactly the same because Akasha had faith, but Wayne, who did not know this fact, tried hard to deny it.

“Huh… did I disturb you? That’s a very nice thing to hear. This is the most rewarding moment since I was born.”

“…Okay. It would be good for you too. Because this moment will be your last.”

“What?”

Before Wayne could even understand those words, Akasha’s attack exploded on Wayne. Because this was done without any sign of movement, Wayne felt pain but was unable to understand the circumstances.

Akasha’s unique attack method that combines magic and faith. From the perspective of those other than Stella and Phrynia, the two supreme goddesses, it was safe to say that it was a disaster that could not be resisted.

“Gagging… Ugh!”

“Hmm? what? I can’t believe I’m still breathing. From the looks of it, it seems to be a little stronger than I thought.”

Akasha frowned as she saw Wayne still alive after being attacked. I felt like my discomfort was rising more than necessary.

‘I feel uncomfortable…’

Normally, Akasha would have thought that her opponent was stronger than expected, as she said herself. But this time I felt like that wasn’t the case.

‘It feels like it’s confirmed that I will never die from this attack…’

Akasha tried to suppress those unpleasant feelings and finish Wayne off. Just as a lion uses all his might to catch a rabbit, he tried once again to perform a combination of faith and magic on Wayne, who was already unable to get up.

“The look on Stella’s face when she meets you again after killing you is truly something to see. Hehe….”

The moment when an attack that no one in the underworld can stop is about to suffocate Wayne.

Quang!

“Um…?”

What Akasha saw in her eyes was Wayne, who was out of sight, and a man holding her at a considerable distance from the point of attack.

Akasha smiled as she looked at his face.

“Yes… you were there. You went to the end of the world and came back so quickly. What did they do? Eugene.”

Eugene, who had already passed out, patted Wayne’s cheek pitifully, glared at Akasha with a cruel expression as if he had never done that before.

“I ran over to kill you, you bastard.”
