That's basically suicide for normal people.
"It'd be great if the slayer was here." the man said as he slashed his sword. Many demons surrounded him many people were killing them but they seemed endless.
"You gods keep talking about him but who even is the slayer?" an older James asked as he used a broken sword to kill the demons.
"He was the one that ended the age of gods killing most gods and constellations." the man explained.
"Then wouldn't him being here be bad?" James questioned as he evaded a general demon's claw.
"No, he killed us to keep balance in a time where death was at the top if he was here then this war for survival would have ended before it even started if he wished to that is." the man said as his sword was engulfed in a crimson fire Ares went berserk. chopping the horde to pieces the generals fell and soon the leading princes of hell attacked.
Ares fought the twelve princes singlehandedly the only one that could stand against them. The mortals watched the God fight and fall to a disadvantage but soon a roar was heard a small flame pierced one of the prince's head killing it.
The elven man raised his hand up to the sky and many formations appeared encircling the world connecting. If Odin was here he would be able to tell that it was an imperial grade spell of the elven prince of fire.
As the formations combined they became the size of a city but the immense power in it was unmistakable James ran to the portal and placed a rode near it causing the portal to increase in size. The spell activated and the embodiment of flame was released entering the portal and burning the domain to ash.
The small flames that remained covered the princes and killed them turning them to ash. Ares grabbed the chopped arm and rematch it back it healed slowly but at least he wouldn't lose an arm.
"Where the heck was you I thought the puppet would have teleported you here or something?" ares said as he walked to the exhausted prince.
"Shiva is not at his peak his battery is very low since the time he fought against the God of millionth hell." the prince said with a labored breath.
"Jeez the puppet created by the slayer is only that strong?" ares said as he sat next to the prince.
"The God of the millionth hell can destroy this solar system so it's quite reasonable a puppet made for a joke could barely hold up!" Ei exclaimed.
"I see so are we bound to lose?" ares said as his tone became somber.
"I hope not but it looks like it." the prince said as he looked at the ashy sky.
"Not if we find a way to prepare." a man said as he walked to the two he had a burnt right-wing and a clear golden left one.
"What do you have in mind lucy?" ares asked as he drank from his flask.
"As one of the slayer's clones, I have access to some of his skills one be [return] which allows me to return to a time before death the only problem is how it has altered over time," Lucifer explained.
"I can only use it once and I can't choose which time I return to but I can choose for someone else if I pass it on."
"Then who would we choose and are you even sure it would work?" ares questioned.
"He is with us and yes it will work I'm sure of it," Lucifer assured as he looked at James.
"James you are the perfect candidate as you are the one of the relatives of the slayer."
"Would you be willing to return to before the invasion to before even you became a hunter and help against this threat that faces humanity and us gods?" Lucifer asked as his wings unfolded the wing that showed his sacrifice for mankind and his betrayal by his father shined brightly with ember.
"But even if I am a relative am I actually a good choice?" James questioned.
"Any child of him is a perfect candidate it whatever they choose you just have to want it to achieve it," Lucifer said as his smile widened.
"Then I will take it up I don't want to become demon food." James joked.
Lucifer took James to the gods to have him trained to help him fight against the gods this was done quickly since each day was another day they grew close to death. They thought him martial ars, cultivation, science, magic and which dungeons to go to and items to obtain, and which bosses he should kill before they were used by the demons.
James learned a lot about the age of gods but some were not taught since they had little time. By the first of January 1, 2286, Lucifer gave him the skill and each good gave him a blessing giving him a title.

" you will meet people you have made bonds with. try not to let yourself be stuck in them if you try to make memories with them that will only harm them more when the day comes." Lucifer explained as he pressed his hand on James' head chanting a spell James fell asleep and woke up in his capsule in the room he live in years ago he saw a picture of his parents and his sister who died tragically in the hands of a demon attack.

Odin knocked on the door and entered the room.
"Anyone ordered custom-made dildos?" Odin said as he showed a box that he materialized this joke caused one of the girls in the group to flinch as she awkwardly raised her hand.
"Well I didn't think my joke would have implications but then again my joke is either awkward or ones that lead to death," Odin said as he gave the box that he filled with different adult toys to the girl.
"Um Odin welcome," James said as awkwardly as he tried not to laugh from a childish joke.
"Yea sup James here my group this is my brother omega my friend bob and my other friend Serena." Odin introduced the group to James as he sat on a chair.
"Hello I am James and this is my sister Alice." James introduced the girl to his right she had dyed green long hair and brown eyes. her skin was tanned from the constant sun rays she wore very bright clothes in contrast to James' simple dark colors.
"She is Alex." James introduce the woman with the box Odin gave she had very white skin which highlighted the tattoos on her body her hair was also white and she had ocean blue eyes.
"This is Vanessa and Janessa." the next girls were identical if not for the outfit and dyed highlights. Vanessa wore colorful clothes while Janessa wore black clothes she also had glasses. Both had dark skin and dark hair but both had different highlights Vanessa had a rainbow while Janessa had a strand bleached turning it white.
"And finally this is Samantha." the girl was tall almost reaching above James' height she had grey hair with light red eyes and pale skin she was looking at her laptop as she waved.
Odin felt a tinge of pain as he looked at the girl who resembled his white the dormant adrenaline injector thumped before the kill switch stopped it.
"Well, it's nice to meet you all," Odin said as he smiled at the group.
"Yes, it quite is," James replied.
"So let us speak about you guys joining our guild," James said as he took out a document and handed it to Odin and the group.
"Well this is very one-sided isn't it?" Odin said as he read the document it gave him basically all the leverage under the condition he helped the guild to the best of his abilities.
"Well, I believe we shouldn't be restrained as a guild this will allow us to improve much more than other guilds that tie you down and keep you as a slave than a member," James said as he clasped his hands.
"Damm so no kinky sex plays then?" Odin said absentmindedly.
"What?" Alex responded.
"I said so no schemes then?" Odin said without expression.
"Oh yes of course we are very opened here," Alex responded with an awkward smile.
"Ok well I'm in sounds fun," Odin said as he placed the document on the table.
"Great please sign this," James said as he took out another set of papers and handed them to Odin and the group.
The group signed the papers and handed them to James while keeping their copy.
"Welcome to the guild!" James said excitedly.
"Thanks for having us," Odin said in kind as he shook James' hand.
"Now off to the dungeon we have scheduled," James said as he lead his team out the room.
"That fast?" omega asked as he looked at the group.
"Hey, I'm down for anything," Odin said as he followed the group.
Exciting the building Odin and the group caught up with James and his entourage.
"I will go rent a vehicle to drive us to the dungeon, please wait," James said as he turned around but Odin stopped him.
"Just use my truck it right in front of you and it can hold us all," Odin said as he pointed to the black truck as it turned on the low engine sound was barely heard.
"Well, then I guess that's better," James said as he walked to it.
"Your driving also be careful with the switches on the console those control the gears and don't go above the first," Odin said as he jumped on the flatbed of the truck.
"Um, why?" James said as he looked at the ten silver switches labeled and the final red switch.
"Well, I'm not sure how good your reaction speed is but the first switch can accelerate you to ten thousand miles per hour the second is ten times that the rest well it's the same and the red one well that's called suicided for Norma people," Odin explained as he rested on the back of the truck. The truck was made for high gravity environments having high power it was also called of FTL travel in only Manuel mode so for humans that couldn't drive a measly hundred million miles an hour it was suicide.
