Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 729: I can't seem to hate you



After a rousing series of battles, the incarnations of the Strongest Mortal Soul were satisfied and ready to watch the life of the original incarnation.

"Now that everyone has their fill, let's continue watching my exciting life experience." The original incarnation snapped his fingers and once again the screen appeared above everyone showing a different scenario.

...

It was another battlefield were the ground was filled with bodies, and space and time were distorted. The environment was full of toxic chemicals that could even harm a dragon's scales.

This was a battlefield were just stepping in the wrong place would result in death. Yet despite all of that, there was one person who was treating the entire battlefield like it was his playground.

Erste the strongest of humanity was once called by the Gods the clown of death, which was both ridicule and praise for their enemy, but nowadays he was called the Strongest Mortal Soul.

Among all the humans and dragons, only Erste struck so much fear into the enemy ranks, even the strongest Mother of All Dragons did not have such a reputation. Seeing as she was only there to protect the base of the humans, on the other hand, it was Erste who became the blade that killed the Gods.

During these five years of war between the two sides, Erste has killed thousands of New Gods and several hundreds of Old Gods. As for the Ancient Ones, the only time Erste saw one was when the war started.

He no longer led a unit as he figured that he was not cut out to be a leader, he was only a warrior. So now that he was able to move alone without needing to think about his companions, Erste moved from one battlefield to another killing all the enemies he could find. Erste was a menace on the battlefield, the moment he appeared only death followed.

Now when the Gods spot Erste most of them flee in terror, since there is no way to fight the other party. The only ones capable of facing him were now the Ancient Ones.

"No matter how strong one person was in this kind of battlefield he wouldn't be able to change the tide, but you have proven me wrong. All your allies did was hold on and you swept through the battlefield one after another. It's a rather crude strategy that only works if a single person is far above everyone else. That's not the kind of war that I like."

"Heh, so you finally appeared I was wondering how many more of your men I had to bring into my underworld for you to appear."

"I almost forgot that you have the authority over death. It's hard to remember since you never use your manipulation over souls."

"I don't really like using the authorities I stole from you guys, especially when I'm in battle, I prefer using my own technique and power to win battles. Well, it's not like any of those authorities is stronger than my blade."

"HAHAHA!!! That is true the only thing a warrior can trust on the battlefield is his weapon. You really are a born warrior, I kinda like your nickname too the Strongest Mortal Soul. Those cowards just showed how much they fear you that they can only ridicule you in such a way."

"Huh? How is that a ridicule they're basically saying I'm the strongest."

"Surely you understand they're saying that you are the strongest among mortals that is not include gods and dragons."

"Why would that matter, since I'm human that means humans are the strongest, in conclusion, I am the strongest. If anyone has any objections they can come meet me and prove me wrong."

"Hahaha!!! That's a great way to think, since you have the confidence and the skill to say such things."

"Enough about that, are we going to finish the battle that didn't end before."

"I guess this stage is as grand as it could get without my siblings getting in the way, but before we start I just want to warn you. If it is I who dies by your hand, the other Ancient Ones will finally join the battle. The only reason why I'm the only Ancient One in this war is because I've been convincing the others to not join, but once I did that agreement will no longer stand."

"So you're already expecting to lose even before we begin the battle?" Erste asked while feeling a little disappointed. In response, Largen shook his head.

"That's not it, I did not say all that because I believe I'll lose. In fact, I fully believe that victory is mine for the taking, but I have watched you create miracle after miracle, and I know how strong you are. That idea that I even thought about losing, just goes to show how much I respect your abilities. So if this is to be our final battle how about we go all out from the beginning."

"HAHAHA, now you're talking my language! An all-out attack to decide the winner. Very well, so do you have anything else you want to say before we begin."

"Yes, I have a request I want to make if I'm the one to die."

"You're going to ask something from the winner, that's interesting, so what is it you want?"

"I hope you bury my body if there is a body left to bury on a field of flowers."

"... Sure."

"How about you do you want something if ever I become the victor?"

"I don't think I'll lose, so there's no need to tell you anything."

"Is that so... Very well let us begin our final match! I Largen the Ancient One who governs over war, shall exert my full authority! My authority is simple the grander the war, the more battles rage on in any universe, it will enhance my overall abilities. Right now we are experiencing the grandest war ever to take place since our creation. So as of now, I'm the strongest I have ever been.

A single thrust of mine could destroy reality itself."

"So much blabbering about your abilities. Just show it to me, and we will decide who is stronger."

Largen no longer spoke as he and Erste took out their weapons and got into fighting stances. Erste who possessed different types of energy merged them together to enhance himself and his weapon, mana, the energy from the sea of chaos, as well as the energy from the void. These three different types of energy merged into one as it gently wrapped itself around Erste and his blade.

Largen threw his spear at Erste, the weapon that could pierce anything strengthened by the authority of war was tearing apart reality. Erste did not even think about dodging or defending instead he took the attack head-on and met the spear with his sword.

The spear that could pierce through anything was sliced in half, Largen who saw that sight could not believe his eyes. That spear of his was a weapon of causality it affected the very laws of the omniverse. Not only did it fail its purpose of being able to pierce through anything it was actually sliced in half.

Still, in shock, Largen saw Erste appear in front of him ready to strike him down. Largen his shield, the shield that could block anything as long as his heart stood firm, but the same as the spear it was unable to block Erste's slash splitting the shield and himself in two.

"That was a good battle, that was a splendid war to announce my end. Thank you, my friend." Those were the last words Largen spoke as his body disappeared into nothingness.

"Heh, you might have been the enemy, but I never hated you."
