Ch 108 – Heroes?

"Okay Ddraig, we're going to commit genocide right now in the name of science!" with a gigantic seed in my right hand and a weird metallic cube in the other, I lie on top of a random skyscraper in New York because I thought destroying America first was kinda funny, who knows, they might have a superhero department in A-4 and might even have a Longinus.

[So, where are you going to plant the seed? I think over there would be fine] said Ddraig as he mentally pointed towards a patch of dirt in the distance.

"Eh, why not. So what is your bet anyways? Mine would be a superhero team would be in America,"

[I would say the three factions would rally up to help save the world in an epic fight against the villain called Rintarou.]

"That's a pretty good guess, shit, I think I would actually lose!" oh no, Ddraig is smarter than I thought!

[Just plop the goddamn seed already, we're wasting precious time.] oh that fucking dragon, now that he knows he would probably win, he starts to pressure me into doing the deed.

But as I am a man who follows my promise, I swing my hand to the back to gather as much force and with green circuits appearing on my whole body, I swing my hand forwards and watch the gigantic seed accurately hit that patch of dirt as a giant crater was formed.

"Welp, let's have a fun time shall we!" as I teleport high into the sky, the cube in my left arm let out a bright violet glow, and soon, we were inside a safe impenetrable barrier of space where we can safely observe the World Tree.

[There it goes!] with Ddraig's shout, a seedling went to sprout from the ground, and soon, a gigantic tree is towering high above the sky in a matter of seconds as many pedestrians went to video and stream the strange tree that appeared from nowhere.

"Ohoho, the vitality of the ground is already wilting away," with intrigued stares, I saw the plant around the world tree start to die to fuel the growth of the World Tree and its true devastating nature is slowly revealing itself.

"AHHH!" screamed the pedestrians as roots suddenly shot out of the ground from the tree and many were pierced accurately in their hearts and blood soon covered the whole area as the tree started to grow faster and faster with more blood being absorbed.

[Ha! That's what you get for being stupid!] chuckled Ddraig, he was clearly having fun watching this massacre.

So with the World Tree having a stable growth rate, we sat back and enjoyed the show while countless drones fly high above in space to record the whole spectacle.

(A Few Minutes Later)

"AHAHAHA! There's a fucking superhero team!" laughing like a maniac, I pointed at a group of people arriving in the far distance to the edge of the city size World Tree where it has grown to hundreds of meters already as blood flooded the whole city.

[Wait a minute, isn't that the True Longinus?!] exclaimed Ddraig as I instantly look towards a certain man with purple hair wielding a spear that holds the resemblance to a certain famous Longinus.

"Holy shit, it is!" with bulging eyes, I watch him shoot out a beam of light from his spear that cut off several roots piercing towards them while another one went to create purple mist!

[Dimension Lost?! Who the fuck are they?!] exclaimed Ddraig as we watch another one went to summon hordes of monsters.

"Annihilation Maker!" as I watch the monsters made by another guy, greed started to shine in my eyes, more so than when I looked at the True Longinus.

"I need to get Annihilation Maker, I need that!" with serious eyes, I let my Scale Mail out as my power instantly rose to what I presume to be Satan Class for devils which makes me continental at least.

[Are you seriously going to fight them? You know you're outnumbered.] asked Ddraig with a worried tone.

"Don't worry Ddraig, I simply want that Annihilation Maker, they call it a bug in the Sacred Gear system right? Then I can probably do something cool with it," with a single step, I got out of my safe cube and appeared high above at the peak of the world tree which was rapidly growing with its roots already spreading hundreds of kilometers.

[Well, I guess let's do this!] shouted Ddraig and with that, I started my impromptu attack on this hero team.

As I wait for them to patiently get out of the mist, I controlled the World Tree below me to specifically attack the ground below them, and just like that, roots erupted from the ground up making the Dimension Lost guy lose his balance, dispelling some of the mist allowing hundreds of roots to penetrate through, forcing them to divide and go away from each other.

"A chance!" with a flick, I appeared right behind the True Longinus wielder, sending a full-powered punch that would a whole continent if I hadn't focused it on a single point but as if he has a third eye behind his back, he swiftly move the spear behind him to block the attack that was aiming for his neck.

Then from the mist came two other people, one was a blonde-haired girl wielding a strange sword in her arm that has the strange property of Dragon Slaying and Holy, along with another guy holding a strange shield that has the art of Medusa's head imprinted on it along with a sword on his other arm.

But without hesitation, I summoned the runes of fire, metal, earth, wood, water, barrier, and roots, and out came a reinforced barrier of roots empowered by various runes inscribed to it to fend off the enemies while more roots went to grab the True Longinus wielder's legs planting them to the ground.

But with the spear extending towards me, I simply teleported in front of his face directly sending a punch towards it, and with a loud boom, his head was smashed towards the ground without fail.

And within an instant, I directly teleported on top of his downed body rapidly sending punches specifically towards his neck and with rapid punches each creating sonic booms, his neck was snapped off while also destroying his spinal cord.

"KUKUKU!" with a manic laugh, the spear in his arms disappeared and beside me, a small cube now holds the sacred gear True Longinus that I can simply use whenever I want.

I haven't been just simply stopping my studies with Sacred Gears, in fact, I already hold a vast collection of them and I'm on the verge of a breakthrough that would allow me to wield two sacred gears without the sacred gears lowering the effectiveness of each other, yes, I could have been using tens of sacred gears right now if I wasn't optimizing it to the fullest.

Though, using a second one would be nice right now.

So with a tap on the cube, a spear started to manifest on my right arm as dangerous light glowed from its tip while the other members of the hero team looks at me with fear.

With two sacred gears now in my soul, it would lower my magical capabilities but the True Longinus offsets that by a large margin with its sheer power.

[Damn, you think you can fuse that with me?] asked Ddraig, we have been trying to fuse Sacred Gears since last week but no results have been shown, maybe I need to study the Sacred Gear system later.

"I don't know, but let's take this baby for a ride!" with a flick of the spear, it extended out like a dragon and with simple stabs, both the blond-haired girl and the medusa shied guy's heart was pierced by the spear and with two cubes appearing from nowhere, both their sacred gears were stored in a subspace and the two cubes pop out from reality like it were never there.

And as the spear retracted back into my hand, I look at the other 3 members who were left looking at me with fearful but determined eyes.

"By all means, I'll give you a grand death fighting against the wielder of the Boosted Gear and True Longinus," with a snicker behind my helmet, energy sprouted from the edge of the True Longinus as I decimated tens or even hundreds of robot mechas with one swing.

[Let's end this!]

"Mmm!" with a single teleport, I appeared behind the Annihilation Maker guy and Dimension Lost guy and with one rapid swing, both of their heads were chopped off by the spear and with another quick teleport, I appeared behind the explosion guy and pierce my spear to his heart, ending it all in just an instant.

"A resounding success! So many goodies and loot! So many Longinus! Ohohoho!" with a hearty laugh, the True Longinus was sealed back in another cube while I teleported back to the peak of the tree as I saw that its roots already extended for thousands of kilometers while its height was growing at a rapid pace.

And with my determination to finish the Two Sacred Gear project at an all-time high, nanobots started to gather around the air as a make-shift lab was made within an instant while multiple sacred gears presented themselves to me.

(A Few Hours Later)

"Test 362! Start!" with a flick of a switch, I watch a man contained inside a barrier in the shape of a cube as two sacred gears went to insert themselves into his soul, and after doing a quick check…

"[FINALLY!]" both I and Ddraig shouted in relief as the two sacred gears didn't disrupt the soul's effectiveness nor the magic circuits which makes me just plop down to the ground after a long day of hard work.

[Oh my god, even though you were the one who did it, I also feel tired!] said Ddraig as we chuckled at today's resounding success, the whole world died, and I block off any other beings from interfering with my World Tree's growth by making a world size barrier with the materials being dug up by the World Tree's help and now, it's about to finish extending its roots to the last place on earth.

"Welp, I'm famished right now, you want to watch a movie and just let the tree grow for a couple of days on its own?" I asked Ddraig.

[Why not, we've done a lot today, we deserve some rest!] Ddraig agreed with my proposal so with a groan, tidbits of black and white covered my eyes and hair as a magic circle appeared right above us, and with a quick spell, we appeared back in A-1 to take a long nice rest now that it's Friday and Saturday would be tomorrow.

"I'm home!" I shouted while I appeared right in front of the door and opened it with a tired aura.

"Welcome back Rintarou," said my father as he was watching some TV in the living room.

"Hi dad," with a quick greeting, I went up the stairs and heard the littlest of thumps on the ground, and from that, a malicious smile appeared on my face as I took out my phone and turned on the camera.

[Wake me up when we're going to continue watching that anime movie trilogy, I need to take a quick nap right now.] said Ddraig, and with a nod, I put my hand on the doorknob and waited for the music to reach the climax.

"Hey Ren, do you mi-" and as I took a timely stop, I saw him there in the middle of his room wearing a stupid belt and wielding a stupid sword along with his stupid body pillow by the side being held captive by the stupid villain which was a cardboard cut out of a random villain.

And as he continued to whack his stupid sword to the stupid cut out, I just silently recorded him while lowering my presence.

"UOOHH! SECRET TECHNIQUE! SEVEN RIGHTEOUS BLOWS!" and with sounds coming from his stupid belt, he rapidly swings his sword towards the cardboard cutout as sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Pathetic," with a cold voice, I saw him visibly shaking from the voice that appeared out of nowhere as he slowly turned his head around and saw me, catching him with my camera out.

"WAIT!" shouted Ren as he rushes towards me, but with a quick slam, I closed the door and rushed inside my room and locked the door, hearing his desperate bangs on my door, begging me to delete the video.

That's what you get for offending me, Ren! You don't just say I'm a chuuni if you're also a fucking chuuni!

AN: This is 2162 words, you're welcome.

Now how the fuck did he kill Cao Cao so quick? Well logically, it would have taken longer but I was too lazy to extend it for like 2 chapters and besides, he would eventually win with infinite mana so I just shortened the process.

And also, I can just say AU and he was younger/weaker/less experience etc.

The Sword of Damocles hangs above each and everyone one of you with its ever present threat of despair, so send me some power stones with your power of friendship and save the thousands perhaps even millions to come who will read this masterpiece immortalized in the tunnels of time.
