"Leave it to me, you guys prepare to evacuate."
At the crucial moment, it was Gus who stepped up again.
This cold, unyielding warrior, wielding the Dragon Slayer Sword, his jet-black berserker armor creaking under his skin.
It was as if a living wild beast was residing in his body, greedily trying to devour its master.
He was prepared to fully unleash the Berserker Armor.
This will allow the will of the mad god within the armor to attach itself to him to the maximum extent, bringing an extremely strong power boost while also causing his mind to go berserk.
Let's use this frenzied state to counteract Freya's mind control.
The next moment, Guts' armor instantly began to 'grow'.
The armor that had originally only covered the torso instantly spread to the entire body, and the pitch-black black dog, filled with extreme madness and curses, opened its blood-red maw and swallowed Guts whole!
"Roar!!!!"
His jet-black cloak was stained with a dark color like undried blood, and with Guts' roar, a terrifying black hound monster seemed to perch on his shoulder as if it were an illusion.
Guts suddenly unleashed the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand. Amidst the roar of the dragon soul residing within it and the wailing of countless creatures, a terrifying madness instantly spread terror throughout Orario!
Guts's rationality was instantly squeezed into a corner, and with his power fully unleashed, he could only fight against madness in the corner of his will.
Beyond the spiritual world—
The branded warrior gripped the Dragon Slayer Sword tightly, leaped high into the air, and slashed down with tremendous force!
The roar of the Dragon Slayer Sword, now fully awakened, cleaving through the air was more piercing than a howl. The trail left by the blade was a dark purple afterimage, as if it had torn open the very space itself.
The moment Ota raised his black sword to parry, he was so shocked that he fell to one knee, and the granite ground beneath his knee cracked like a spiderweb. The LV7 warrior's pupils shrank as he clearly saw countless distorted human faces opening their mouths and roaring silently on the spine of the Dragon Slayer Sword.
These are all the souls of the apostles and various ghostly monsters slain by Guts.
Originally just a common iron dragon-slaying sword, Guts has transformed it into a dark sword imbued with countless curses as he slays countless monsters.
No more talk, let's fight!
Chapter 39: 143. Return and End (Bonus Chapter)
Guts stood tall, sword in hand, beneath his fully encased berserker armor, facing off against almost the entire first echelon of adventurers from the Orario Familia.
Behind him, one of the four Yan Jin brothers attempted to seize the opportunity to kill him with a giant hammer.
"In the way."
The syllables that rolled from Guts' throat sounded more like the growl of a wild beast. Suddenly, a section of black steel spike sprang out from the shoulder armor of the berserker's armor, piercing through Guts' arm guard the instant the dwarf tried to retreat. At the same time, just as Finn's magic spear was about to pierce Guts' side, the phantom of the black dog perched on his shoulder lunged out.
The illusory fangs tore through Finn's arm, and the resulting gust of wind stung the cheek of the Loki Familia leader. Bewitched by Freya's divine power, he hesitated.
But the rabid dog wouldn't give him any time to hesitate.
The soul of the terrifying monster born from Guts' armor is the embodiment of Guts' most negative will.
Finn became entangled in a fierce battle with the illusory black hound, while Guts, after instantly suppressing Ota, swiftly fired the Dragonslayer Spear from his left arm, interrupting Riveria's half-finished incantation and tearing apart three elven adventurers behind her who were wielding bows.
Riveria's face turned deathly pale, not only because of the interruption of the spell, but also because of the conflict between her instincts and Freya's divine power.
But the ones suffering the most in the arena were not the adventurers attacked by the crazed Guts.
The one who suffered the most was always Gus himself.
Berserker Armor is not exactly a friendly piece of equipment.
Even though Guts depends on it, needs it, and has therefore invested countless enhancements in it, it is still constantly vying with Guts for control of this body.
At this moment, Guts, having unleashed his berserker armor, is engaged in a battle within his mind.
The battle in his mind was far more brutal than reality; Guts was fighting against his countless nightmares. Fragments of reason flickered like candles in the wind, each swing of his sword accompanied by the rabid barking of a black hound. That beast tore at his memories with its blood-stained claws; Griffith's smiling face, Casca's cries, the dying eyes of the Band of the Hawk members were all mashed into a bloody mess.
"Kill them!" The rabid dog's roar made his head throb.
"All living things are sacrifices; kill them, eat them, turn them into excrement!!!"
He fights in reality, and is also forced to confront the erosion of madness within his mind.
"No..." Guts's reason struggled against the black rabid dog. He saw the adventurer's entrails spilling out of the body cleaved by the Dragon Slayer Sword, overlapping with the scene from years past. The rabid dog triumphantly coiled its tail around his consciousness, repeatedly crushing those images.
"roar--!"
Gus suddenly turned around, and the Dragon Slayer Sword, carrying immense force, slashed towards Ota.
The warrior hastily parried with his sword, and at the moment of impact, a deafening roar echoed throughout the entire labyrinth city. Ota was sent flying backward, crashing through the guild's stone wall, and a giant dragon's face appeared on the blade of the Dragon Slayer Sword, letting out a triumphant roar, along with a jet-black flame that ignited the entire blade.
In the corner of reason, Guts clung desperately to the last vestige of clarity. He stared intently at the ever-decreasing countdown.
"Hold on... for just three more minutes..."
He gritted his teeth, fighting against the rabid dog's desire to slaughter everyone.
Suddenly, Freya's divine power surged forth like a tsunami once more.
"He's mine... he's mine!" The goddess roared, her voice trembling with sobs. The controlled adventurers' eyes burned even brighter as they lunged at Guts with reckless abandon.
But the Loki Familia adventurers all stopped in their tracks. Freya's roar was interrupted by an angry voice—it was Loki, who forcibly broke Freya's control over her Familia!
"Go!!!" The command of the God of Mischief echoed in their minds. There was only one command, and Finn, Riveria, and the others, who were already struggling against this influence, made a decisive decision and left immediately with everyone else.
Their decision saved their lives.
The mad dog laughed wildly in his mind: "Look! They all want to kill you! Why not just kill them all, kill them all, kill them all!"
Guts hesitated for a moment. Just then, Allen's spear flew through the air, grazing his neck and shattering the stone pillar behind him.
"court death!"
Rage instantly overwhelmed reason. Guts whirled around, his Dragon Slayer Sword tracing an arc, black flames surging forth with the wind from the sword.
"Griffiths!!!!!!!!!!"
Guts roared the name of his sworn enemy, raised the burning Dragon Slayer Sword high, and then brought it crashing down!
One strike, and the entire city of Orario felt a tremor of terror.
The gods stared in horror or dazzle at the towering black pillar of fire, and at the endless madness, resentment, and killing intent within the flames!
Reason, having been released, cowered in the darkness, and Guts felt as if he had returned to that night of sacrifice. Reason, and everything else, was gradually fading away.
Undoubtedly, Guts was the only one left standing on the field.
Single-handedly, Guts defeated the entire Freya Familia, and it could even be said that he crushed all the high-level adventurers in Orario!
Even though he was controlled by Freya, the gods still cheered, applauded, and rejoiced for this incredibly powerful branded warrior!
"Mr. Gus, there's only one minute left!"
A shout from behind, from who knows whose voice, was like a glimmer of light, bringing him a sliver of clarity amidst his rage. He turned and, with his Dragon Slayer Sword, cleaved a bloody path toward the evacuation point.
No adventurers dared to approach; they were either slain or burned to ashes by the raging black flames.
"Thirty seconds left!"
The sound grew closer. Gus could sense the light of the evacuation point ahead. He gritted his teeth, ignoring the rabid dog's frantic roar in his mind, but his Dragon Slayer sword remained steadfast, never veering down towards his teammate's head.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
The countdown began. Guts leaped over the last obstacle and landed in the light of the evacuation point.
"...Three, two, one!"
As the countdown reached zero, a beam shot into the sky and instantly took away all the reincarnators.
Evacuation successful...
......
"Looks like I won my bet."
Just as Freya was alone in the altar of the Tower of Babel, writhing in impotent rage, a slightly mocking voice sounded behind her.
Freya turned around abruptly and saw Qiu Hai leaning against the wall, looking playful.
"Outsiders! Maggots! Locusts from the multiverse!!!"
Freya unleashed these insults almost without hesitation or control.
However, Qiu Hai clearly didn't care. He waited for Freya to finish her tirade like a shrew, then smiled and said...
"Go ahead and curse, curse all you want. You can't change the fact that the child, the protagonist of this world, already belongs to me."
He paused, his smile growing increasingly mocking.
"He can't even come back to this world, after all, there's this perverted goddess like you."
Freya chose to take direct action.
The overwhelming divine power was drawn towards Qiu Hai, but facing this silver sea of divine power belonging to the goddess of beauty, a power that was enough to annihilate the lower realm in one blow, Qiu Hai merely raised her hand.
"Light comes from chaos."
he said softly
Boundless, infinite, and immeasurable light shines from beyond the world.
In an instant, Freya's divine power was completely dissolved by the invisible light. Not only that, she was also severely injured, collapsing to the ground, near death.
This is not a death that can be resurrected.
She was truly on the verge of being erased.
Freya's delicate body trembled involuntarily. She had never expected this outsider to be so powerful—facing him was like a mortal facing herself.
Power surpassing the level of a "god"!
"If you were the true mistress of Valhalla, I might still be wary of you. But the way you are... even the real Freya wouldn't deign to descend upon you."
Freya couldn't understand what Qiu Hai was saying; she was the Freya of this world, and couldn't comprehend what Qiu Hai was talking about.
He is describing the goddess with the most prominent role in Norse mythology, not the superficial, decorative goddess of this world who chases after so-called love and beauty.
She is the mistress of Valhalla, fully armored and ready to fight, leading the Valkyries to select the chief Valkyrie for Odin, a heroine who died in battle.
It is also that merciless and cold god of death who guides the souls of the dead, leading warriors to Valhalla and casting cowards into Helheim.
That being, originating from Norse mythology, extends to countless gods of the same name throughout the myriad realms, just like Uranus, whom Qiu Hai visited not long ago, is an entire pantheon of gods.
In the words of their main divine space, it is the so-called 'saintly position'.
There's no need to elaborate on this complex setup here; after all, to the now fully established God Qiuhai, Freya before him is nothing more than a lowly fragment.
“I made a bet with Uranus to see if you would go crazy and use your divine power here, and I won.”
Looking at the trembling Freya, Akihime smiled happily.
"As the main god, I shouldn't interfere in the affairs of reincarnators, but who told you to be so unlucky? I came here at someone's invitation, and I also extended invitations to reincarnators who took a liking to me."
He paused, then turned around. Loki, Hestia, and Hermes entered through the doorway.
They were all deities who launched a resistance the moment Freya released her divine power, partly because Hestia's 'sacred fire' itself had a purifying effect on these controlling forces.
He looked at the three deities, but they remained silent; Qiu Hai had already given his answer.
"This world hasn't completely gone into a 'biased state' yet. Of course, if you really think it's hopeless, go find Uranus yourselves," he said calmly.
This world is actually the same as the Demon Slayer world. Although the Demon Slayer world seems to have been tormented and suffered a lot, the main storyline and ending are actually unchanged in the end.
However, this world lost its protagonist before the 'story' even began, and many characters who would later contribute to the plot's development were also taken offline, making the deviance of the original state an unstoppable outcome.
But don't forget that gods exist in this world. They have the ability to reshape the past. On a grander scale, they could pull the timeline back to a point when Bell Craney had no progress and continue to follow the 'unique state' and the 'standard state' of the world line. On a more general scale, they could simply resurrect people directly.
But this is generally unlikely to happen unless Uranus wants to rewrite the timeline.
"Where's Bell? Will Bell come back?"
With tears welling in her eyes, Hestia asked the question that concerned her most. Akihime nodded, then shook her head.
He will return; Bell Crane will surely return to Orario during his journey.
However, he will return as a reincarnator.
"So all of this will just end as a farce, as if it never happened?"
Loki crossed his arms and said in a tone that seemed almost sarcastic.
"So what? Can you accept a result that isn't a farce?" Qiu Hai asked with a smile.
"Or do you want to fully engage with me? I don't want to, but I can certainly turn this world into a large-scale team battle world and send a dozen or so reincarnation squads to fight and destroy here."
