Chapter 5: Chapter 5: The Disparity of our Strengths
Suddenly, a loud, hideous sound suddenly rang up in my already damaged ear-- that it almost made me deaf, but in this case, it's spiritually deaf. As this sound rang deep, shaking and puncturing my very deep soul.
It sounds like someone was deliberately striking some metal sheets straight to your soul, continuously and without break-- this fucking horrendous sound makes me almost-unconscious in this gloomy husk of a once known beautiful planet.
However, I forced my battered self to stay awake once more, as this shadow monster was directly infront of me, still speaking those inaudible words that I can't understand.
If I happen to fall asleep with this guy, I will probably be dead, as this guy will definitely kill me regardless of the things that I will do this time.
This sound was so ear-shattering that I wanna just sleep comfortably in this place... but I know that I can't. I have to live and fight with all I've got, just like my beloved wife who told me. I will not go down without a fight with this monster.
Yet, after hearing that loud deafening sound, a blinding light suddenly followed that torture-- it appeared straight in my eyes that it almost blinded me. I can tell as I can't see anything but just pure white, like a serenity of sunlight shining brightly in my eyes, and I felt I'm transported to some place which I didn't know of.
The light was so astonishingly bright that it almost made me go see spiritually a new realm of something, as if someone was guiding me here. And this light was comparable to the light shown by the God of the Light, Hyperion.
It's been a long time in the history where it's said that Hyperion, once descended to Galatea, The Planet of the Beast, to teach its people about what light is all about and how to make fire. It's an absurd history, but it's famous in the World of the Beast and even in the universe-- that's the reason why the Hyperion Dominion was one of the most famous religions in the universe itself.
It's also due to many scriptures and proofs of his descent towards his dear people to help them grow and sustain themselves.
Despite that, Hyperion, and Onyx just suddenly vanished for some unknown reason. The same with the Gods of this universe, as if they just disappeared without a trace or anything at the end of time.
But oh well, back to the topic-- after a few minutes of the eye-shattering light that I just experienced and that monster still speaking those unknown words.
Something strange happened, that blinding light suddenly disappeared to my sight as I saw something that I can't figure out what the fuck this thing is.
It looks like some sort of a masterpiece, a kind of advanced mechanism that appears to be like a rectangle-shaped, blueish colored panel of some sort with its unknown origin.
However, I know that it's used in some types of stuff or purpose.
And... I tried to deduce how this thing appeared infront of me after that blinding light.
But I can't think of anything, but it's probably made by those cave dwellers that loved the technology so much that it almost makes them insane, but it eventually caused the self-destruction of their own race.
It's blueish in color with many things written on it such as the estranged name of mine, and something written on it aligned with some strange symbols; such as strength and addition symbol (+) on it.
It's definitely weird as I have never seen something like this before, even as an adventurer and a once well-known explorer of the universe.
There's also my exact picture on the upper left side of the panel, in a slight smirking smile looking at the panel, and it's like a panel of a game-like console for playing some types of games.
But then, something came up in my mind although it's pretty vague, it's almost similar to the panel that I see in the Lost City of -- what's the name of it? I wondered deeply and tried to remember its unknown name.
I tried, tried and... tried hard again to remember the name of that Lost City hidden in an unknown period of time, but yeah, nothing comes up in my mind right now. It's so hazy that I know something, there's someone or something blocking me from remembering it.
If that's the case, so be it. So I just put that thought in the back of my hazy mind for the time being and didn't think of it too much right now.
Because-- of one damn reason.
My death is near this damn universe.
As the monsters who are the reincarnation of chaos of this world are in front of me, looking at them from the gloomy sky of this planet while wrath and anger stench on their ugly faces.
I gazed at that shadow figure, still blabbering angrily about something that I didn't understand anything of as he still looked at the dark, gloomy sky with unknown words flowing from his mouth.
But yet again, I looked over in the transparent blue panel-- in which I deeply concluded after so much afterthought that I have never seen it before, even at the Universal Codex.
This is where the different records of all the things in this universe are recorded including; the different races, the different monsters that emerged in the universe, even the name of plants are on it, and even the Gods name was on it.
It's also known as the Akashic Records, or the Recorder of the Universe.
It records all the events that happened in this universe, even if there was no God watching over it, and even its impending death, it's still doing its job, just like its intended purpose.
How do I know that there's something like? I happened to see it slightly when I claimed my Longinus, The Divine Spear of Fate.
It's in the place that only those worthy can enter, and it's basically a different realm compared to the universe, and it's where the Akashic Record was protected by the Divine Race themselves.
A godlike race that has some droplets of blood given by the Gods themselves... You can tell it's a gifted species, and I happened to know how to enter their place too.
But you have to pay a great price-- because right now, I'm pretty weak compared to my peak that I will just be killed by the guards of that race immediately if I happen to go there without knowing everything or something.
As some complicated questions appeared in my mind as I looked at this strange panel floating infront of my doubtful, yet calm face.
"How did this thing appear without me noticing, even that immensely powerful shadow didn't even notice it?" I wondered deeply as I can't tell if he's seeing this blueish thing infront of me.
As I looked over again to that monster who was still talking with its indistinguishable words, still looking at the sky with hatred abundant in its face, observing him if he's seeing the thing that's in my face or if he probably decides to kill me.
[System Alert! System Alert!]
Suddenly, a loud feminine voice immediately sounded in my mind as I looked at this strange message appearing on the panel.
[System Alert! System Alert!]
It sounded again, a much larger voice but with the same message that is said by this panel of some sorts.
[Due to the loss of 99.999999% of people in this dying universe. The Chasm of Time will implement the code: The Last Contingency Plan.]
[All of the Chasm of Time's last backup power and energy, and even his life will serve as the power to initiate a Universal Restart with its new host, Keizen Al Zohar, The Divine Spear of Fate.]
[Integration of the Universal System!]
[Now, Commencing!]
As I look shockingly at this strange panel-- there's something that immediately appeared and it looks as if it's starting up a grand level of something that even named itself as the Universal Restart.
"Is it what I think it is?" I immediately exclaimed as I happened to form a conclusion on what it's all about.
As the small loading screen immediately pops out from the strange panel.
[Loading!!]

As I immediately noticed something, and despaired in horror as I noticed the monstrosity suddenly looking at me, with all of its hatred suddenly shifting of me.
As it almost instantly makes me feel down in my knees. But due to my sheer damn will, I fucking endured it with all I have.
"Shit, he's so strong."
[95%]
[96%]
"It's y-you, you, you, h-huh?!"
"You're the one that they w-want to p-protect, huhhh?!"
He shouted viciously, with deep hatred and anger written in his face, that it really signifies to me that now, is probably my death sentence in this barren world.
As he suddenly howl maniacally, and it's so powerful that it almost leaves me unconscious-- but still I endured due to my determination and will to live for the people that I love.
And I stood up, holding my spear coated in rusted blood, black flesh and tissues of those monsters of Chaos that I killed in those countless hours of battle, as I immediately calmed myself down again this time-- panicking will ensure a quick defeat in battle, and death of mine if I lost focus.
As I said courageously, "If I will really die today, I will not die without a fucking fight!"
[97%]
As I readied myself knowing that this upcoming battle will probably be the death of me, with this piece of shit, killing me for sure horribly. But still, I will not die without a fight.
"Whharraagghhhhh!"
I valiantly roared and immediately used my known specialty in this trashy world, my speed, as I leap over immediately to him to do a downward slash and inflict damage to him, and even a slight wound will do for this piece of shit.
I'll take it as a piece of trophy of myself to wound this monster, and die proud of myself.
However, a shocking thing happened in my all-my-power strong strike.
He just caught it measly with just one pinky finger, a fucking pinky finger, as immediately, helplessness engulfs my wholebeing in this fight.
Because I put everything that I had on that strike-- and that really means the difference between our strengths, it's worlds apart. This monster's strength was compared like a sky, and mine's in the ground, in the fucking ground with soil in it.
But still, I just ignored that notion because I noticed an opening, and I immediately stabbed right now into his open chest with everything I had too, which really resulted again in despairing nothing as I looked at the tip of my bloodied spear.
My spear didn't even manage to cut anything in his chest, nothing, as in nothing, and even a slight wound didn't appear.
As he suddenly used his left hand, and took my beloved Longinus from my fucking hands, like it's just a sort of plaything, and I didn't even manage to resist to this being.
And I'm so pathetic as I can't even contest in strength with this monstrosity.
"Y-You are the last human who survived in this war, I'm really impressed as you fought with all you got."
"But unfortunately, you sided with the wrong people so I will give you a really painful death."
He smiled majestically, and that smile practically means my death.
