Chapter 538: A World in Ruins (1)

World of the Gods, Labyrinth City, Orario

Sitting around a rather large round table, the members of the chat group and Yuki's girlfriends were all gathered.

Everyone was very serious as they watched the holographic screen of the Chat with the Emergency Mission.

"Save the world? My champion, I don't think you should do it, at least not until you heal..."

The first to comment was Hestia, who, as a goddess, knows how terrible a battle for the end of the world can be, especially when an Overlord attacks.

"Unfortunately, it's not something I can refuse...."

Sighing, Yuki once again focused on the chat message, where a countdown timer showed an estimated 5 minutes and decreasing. This was also the time the Chat Room gave Yuki to prepare before being teleported to the endangered world.

What they were doing at that moment was discussing who would accompany Yuki to that world.

Yuki had already explained what he understood about the Mission and the existence of an Overlord. The girls, of course, didn't understand the danger of an Overlord and were all willing to accompany him. Tsunade and Yuno were especially insistent...

"What if we all go? It's much better..."

Raising her hand, Tsubaki gave her humble opinion, but Yuki shook his head. (TN: who was tsubaki I forgor 💀)

"No, we don't know what world it is or what level of danger awaits us. We don't even know if the enemy can track us through 'Space'. If we all go and are ambushed by the enemy, it would be fatal. I refuse to put you in unnecessary danger..."

An Overlord was putting a lot of pressure on him. He didn't even know what level the enemy was at, and unfortunately, Rasiel couldn't obtain information from other worlds unless they were inside them.

Fighting a battle without information was the most stressful because he couldn't prepare. However, this was what Champions did: fight battles blindly.

"So, what do we do?"

"I'm very sorry to say this, but I have to go alone this time to gather information..."

Yuki was the most versatile of the group, being a pseudo-immortal with Time on his side. Definitely, if he couldn't win, he could still run.

Unfortunately, his girls didn't see it that way...

"No! It's too dangerous!"

"That's right! You can't go alone!"

Tsunade was the first to reject his offer. Like an overprotective mother hen, she definitely wouldn't let Yuki venture alone into a world in destruction, followed by Yuno and the other girls...

Yuki, of course, expected this response, so he raised his hand, trying to calm them...

"Alright, I won't go alone, but I will only allow two of you to accompany me..."

With Yuki's words, everyone in the room fell silent and turned their heads to the two girls who, in their opinion, were the strongest and most suitable...

"...."

Only Hestia was uneasy about this decision...

Unknown Universe, World 03527663

"Uhhhh! Hick...."

At the top of a mountain, a girl of about 13 to 14 years old was crying while looking at the sky. Her appearance was quite remarkable, similar to a fairy in a fairy tale...

"It hurts.... So much.... It hurts..."

The girl clutched her chest while tears of pain ran down her eyes. With each tear that fell to the ground, a flower grew under her feet, which was similar to a miracle as the girl was surrounded by beautiful flowers. No one knew how many tears this girl must have shed to create such a field of flowers, but her cries would tear even the bravest of warriors apart. After all, unlike the top of the mountain where the woman with the field of flowers was, the rest of the mountain was lifeless.

The ground was cracked and lacked the vitality to give life, having turned into a desert where the ruins of what was once a civilization were everywhere in the world.

The world had entered its post-apocalyptic stage, and life was dying out.

This woman was the last beauty of this world, about to disappear....

"Hick, hick...."

The woman's cries continued until a strange holographic screen appeared in front of her...

*Ding

[A Champion has sensed your pain]

[The Champion Time Emperor has responded to your call for help. Please prepare for the summoning....]

"My baby... Hick... You didn't abandon me, my baby..."

The woman's tears flowed faster, but unlike before, they were now of relief and happiness.

Her most beloved child had accepted her call for help and was willing to aid her...

She, who was about to be consumed by chaos and destined for destruction, her Champion was about to arrive. This brought her unprecedented happiness and pain as well.

After all, Champions are her most beloved children, and this woman feared that her baby would be harmed or even die because of her.

But this was inevitable. Just as a mother loves her children dearly, Champions also love the world too much and are willing to bear its pain...

*Roar...

Suddenly, a roar of beasts was heard, and the woman couldn't help but tremble. These beasts had different forms, and the aura around them caused indescribable terror to this girl...

These beasts were composed of chaos....

*Roar...

Sensing the woman at the top of the mountain, these beasts roared at her, declaring their dominance and victory before charging towards the defenseless woman.

For these beasts, the aura of this woman was the most delicious food they had ever felt. Driven by their instinct to devour everything in their path, they would definitely not let this delicacy escape...

*Gulp...

The girl trembled, her expression showing fear, anger, and pain. All of this was due to these beasts that had reduced her to such a miserable state...

Because of these beasts that devoured all life and corroded her body, she was reaching the limit of her life, and her fate was crushed by these beasts...

*Grrrr...

Growling in response to the offensive of these beasts, the woman's bare feet fused with the ground, and from her, large trees began to grow, creating a forest in an instant, forming a wall. Unfortunately, these beasts didn't care about such things. On the contrary, they became even more excited. The more life there was to consume, the more they would grow and evolve, so they charged into the forest, which was devoured with great ferocity in a matter of minutes...

"...."

The woman panicked, her face turning pale, and her body becoming more and more illusory, as if she would disappear at any moment. Her power had been severely damaged protecting life, and these beasts had devoured much of her destiny. The chaos was now impossible for her to stop, so these beasts easily broke through her defenses...

*Fummmm

Fortunately, the countdown on the holographic screen reached zero, and a pillar of light descended into the world....

"Hmmm"

The girl gritted her teeth as she felt two strong foreign energies enter her interior. These two energies belonged to two Heroes who, unlike Champions who are pure Order, bring serious consequences to her laws and needed to be suppressed to avoid spatial distortions.

She was, after all, a Rank 2 World, and these two energies were too great. Even so, she made an effort to accept them into her interior, as she had reached her limit. Moreover, these two energies were accompanying her beloved child, so they came to help her. Not to mention that once her child activated his Crown, she would begin to heal...

With the arrival of this pillar, the beasts stopped abruptly. From that pillar of light, they felt a horrendous and repulsive energy, as if it were their sworn enemy. And not only did these beasts feel it, but all over the world, the beasts raised their heads and opened their eyes in succession...

*ROOOOAAARRR

They roared in defiance before running towards the pillar of light with the aim of destroying their nemesis.

"....."

The pillar of light disappeared. Yuki opened his eyes slowly and what he saw left him stunned...

In the distance, a great tide of beasts was charging in a fierce onslaught, the dust cloud even reaching the skies. Yuki had just arrived in the world and was surrounded by millions of beasts....
