Savior of Light (1)
Kouro, who had transformed into the Herrscher of Salvation, received a 50-fold increase to all his stats.
He then used [Dominator's Touch] to pick up the Edge of Abyss before changing the weapon's form into a long staff encrusted with red diamonds.
Kouro holding the long staff raised his head, his eyes that had the sheen of prisms staring in a certain direction before suddenly teleporting away.
...
The present time.
Kouro and the Herrscher of the End stared at each other.
The Herrscher of the End gave him a long look before raising her head to stare at the top of Kouro's head.
"Hmm... Even the false god is on your side." The Herrscher of the End said for the first time.
She could see a white humanoid silhouette above the head of Kouro who was sitting on a throne and looking at her with an unknown gaze.
Yes. For some reason, after Kouro transformed into the Herrscher of Salvation, the Will of Honkai suddenly granted him a blessing.
Kouro didn't know why the Will of Honkai favored him, but he didn't think much of it as long as it gave him a higher chance of winning against the Herrscher of the End.
Now Kouro had the same two blessings as Sirin.
Unlimited energy and Immortality.
Kouro did not reply to her words as he looked at the tens of millions of Honkai Beasts that were the remnants of the massacre Siegfried had committed.
*ROAR!*
The Herrscher of the End let the tens of millions of Honkai Beasts pass her by and looked at Kouro with her arms folded.
She wanted to see how Kouro would eliminate them all.
She did not attack Kouro directly because although it felt faint, she could feel it.
The power of the Herrscher of Shadows.
Not only that, she even sensed her power and the strange power opposite to her within Kouro's body.
For your information, the power of the Herrscher of the End's core and the Herrscher of Human: Ego's core are actually opposite to each other and impossible to combine.
Kouro's Herrscher form is now a miracle and that is likely due to the Herrscher of Shadows core inside his body.
Although the core was not active before completing the [Job Change Quest], the existence of the core was enough to balance the core of the Herrscher of the End and the Herrscher of Human: Ego.
A simple analogy is like two beautiful girls who are jealous of each other because they like the same man, then the man appears in front of them making them both instantly calm down.
Mhn? Wait? The analogy was a little strange, but it was basically true.
Kouro's expression did not change at all when facing the tens of millions of Honkai Beasts charging towards him, he first looked at the unconscious SAKURA, Theresa and Cecilia before healing them using his long staff as an intermediary.
The holes in the chests of the three of them with visible speed began to close before their heartbeats could be heard.
He then looked at Sirin who was staring at him blankly, Kouro chuckled and healed her as well before saying.
"Sirin, can you take the three of them away from here?"
Sirin immediately nodded her head and led the three of them into the [Imaginary Space] before looking at Kouro with a determined expression.
"Kouro! I want to help you fight her!"
Kouro's eyebrows rose, although he didn't know why Sirin was looking at him like he was her father, but he really didn't need her help.
He really didn't know that in the illusion created by Elysia's Herrscher core, he was really Sirin's stepfather, although technically it was KOURO.
Kouro just patted her head and said softly, "Thank you. But it's not necessary, just take those who are dying to a safe place. That's more than enough. "
"But-!" Sirin stared at the tens of millions of Honkai Beasts charging towards them, making the ground rumble.
Kouro patted her head once more with a smile before turning to stare at the approaching Honkai Beasts.
"Let me show you a miracle."
With a calm expression he walked forward, each footstep creating life like grass and flowers.
As it got closer, Kouro then stopped and raised his staff before casually flicking it on the ground again.
*BAM!*
From the point where his staff was struck the barren ground then appeared a green light full of vitality and then at high speed the barren ground was filled with life and it continued to spread.
Every Honkai Beast that was hit by the grass, plants, flowers and so on that grew on the barren ground suddenly turned into dust.
[You have leveled up]
[You have leveled up]
[You have leveled up]
[You have leveled up]
The system notification frantically appeared before his eyes, Kouro calculated that he had leveled up 20 times.
The Herrscher of the End did not avoid these grasses full of vitality that continued to grow and spread to fill the European continent that had become a ruined wasteland.
That was because the green light really didn't attack her or practically everyone here, as the true effect of this green light was 'Saving'.
In just a few seconds, the green light reached where Mobius and the others were and slowly healed their severe wounds.
Every Honkai Beast and Zombie that was hit by this greenery, they instantly turned to dust.
And right after all the Honkai Beasts were eradicated and the European continent became the Garden of Eden where it was full of flowers, grasses and so on, the clouds in the sky then turned cloudy before it rained heavily.
Kouro and the Herrscher of the End's bodies were unaffected by the rain as an invisible energy shield had protected them.
Kouro then turned to look at Sirin and smiled without speaking.
Sirin bit her lip as she understood what Kouro wanted to say, she looked at the Herrscher of the End before looking back at Kouro.
"Be careful." Sirin said before teleporting to where Mobius and the others were.
Upon seeing Sirin had completely left, Kouro's smile instantly disappeared to be replaced by a cold expression staring at the Herrscher of the End.
"Now. It's just you and me."
...
"That's Kouro nii-chan! He's alive!" said Shadow inside the ark pointing at Kouro on the screen with a look of surprise mixed with joy.
He was brought here by AI Vill-V assisted by Gray Serpent to rest.
Hearing his shout most people had confused expressions because they didn't know Kouro.
But they could see Kouro's amazingly miraculous actions just as the Herrscher of the End's actions lifted the European continent.
"Humanity hasn't lost yet." said a girl of Kouro's age.
Humanity's spirits rose upon hearing this, it was true! They had not lost!
The gazes of 70% of the earth's population focused all their attention on one person with hope, the [Savior of Light], the Herrscher of Salvation.
Einstein and Tesla breathed a sigh of relief at Kouro's arrival and his actions to heal Welt and the others.
Sagaki stared at Kouro for a long time with a pensive expression.
Hanagami, who was being carried by her mother, was seen reaching out his hand towards Kouro on the screen with sparkling eyes.
"Is he... The one called as [Savior of Light]?" muttered Gray Serpent.
Sakura looked at Kouro with a relieved expression because she was fine.
...
At Schicksal Headquarters.
Otto with Amber beside him staring at the interface screen showing Kouro and Herrscher of the End with a serious expression.
"This kind of vitality... Is he the Herrscher of Death or something?"
...
Mobius' eyelashes fluttered before slowly opening her eyes, she saw Elysia's silhouette looking at her with a smile.
She instantly woke up with a surprised expression before blinking her eyes only to realize that Elysia had disappeared.
She felt her body full of vitality like never before even though she had grown back into a woman not a young girl anymore.
Mobius' MANTIS ability was that whenever she died, she would come back to life with the side effect of her body getting younger and her memories disappearing.
As Otto had said earlier, the vitality that Kouro released was no joke as the energy was limitless to the point of returning Mobius to her former self.
The effect of Kouro's ability had surpassed ordinary healing and was even almost equal to [Status Recovery] which could restore the body in a peak state.
Mobius looked around and realized that she was in [Imaginary Space].
"Are you awake?" asked Sirin not far from her.
At the same time Welt, Ashborn, Aponia and the others woke up too and looked around.
"Where is this?" asked Siegfried while rubbing his head, his body had returned to normal.
"Siegfried!" cried Cecilia as she woke up and immediately hugged him tightly.
Theresa who saw this only let out a sigh of relief that they were all okay before looking at the pink-haired girl with fox ears beside her.
SAKURA woke up with a confused expression she held her clean chest only leaving her clothes with a hole in the chest.
"SAKURA? You're awake!" asked Kosma with a slightly pleased expression.
"Thankfully, Sakura nee-san has regained she consciousness!" said Griseo.
SAKURA nodded her head without saying anything, she looked around with a lost expression before unconsciously asking.
"Do you know how RIN (Higokumaru) is doing? "
".... "
Their expressions fell slightly silent at her question, they knew that Higokumaru was dead killed by the Herrscher of the End.
Seeing their expressions, SAKURA opened her mouth with a worried expression wanting to confirm something only to be interrupted by Mobius' voice.
"RIN did she-"
"You must have a good explanation of what happened, right?" Mobius said quite loudly to the Sirin before her.
Welt and the others' attention immediately focused on her and noticed Sirin's presence.
Sirin who was stared at said nothing but opened the space and made it into a real-time screen interface showing Kouro and the Herrscher of the End.
"Kouro! He's alive!" said Welt with a happy expression.
Ashborn let out a sigh of relief before noticing Kouro's changed appearance.
He then looked at SAKURA who was staring at the screen with blank eyes, it seemed she had realized something about Higokumaru's state.
Ashborn was seen putting on a thinking expression before sighing and being replaced with a determined expression.
"The [Savior of Light], he has come." Aponia said with cupped hands.
__
The Herrscher of the End narrowed her eyes, she roughly knew what ability Kouro possessed.
The healing he showed was likely derived from Herrscher of Death's ability that was strengthened by a certain authority and with unlimited energy he could arbitrarily use this ability.
Fortunately Kouro was not like when he transformed into [Herrscher form: The One] where his body enlarged into a small giant.
She doesn't mind Kouro being able to use her powers, but she does mind Kouro's 'it' getting bigger!
The Herrscher of the End seemed to blush for a moment at the thought of Kouro's enormous, long 'it'.
It was indeed a stroke of luck that Kouro did not use such sneaky tricks anymore!
Now what she wanted to test was Kouro's offensive and defensive capabilities.
Thinking of this, the Herrscher of the End suddenly appeared in front of Kouro and created an energy sword shrouded in dark golden lightning before swinging it vertically.
This attack had a 'Penetration' and 'true damage' effect so it dealt more damage.
Kouro, whose stats had all risen to 5 digits, still couldn't dodge the attack due to Herrscher of the End's speed.
In terms of speed the Herrscher of the End was number one because she is the ruler of [Time] and could control other authorities.
Kouro's pupils reflected the energy sword of the Herrscher of the End that was getting closer.
*SWOOSH!*
*BOOM!*
A dazzling light in the form of a giant dark-gold energy slash directly hit Kouro and made the European continent in the air rumble before splitting in two.
The rain had stopped due to the supersonic impact, the clouds in the sky had been cut off miles away.
"Kouro!" Sirin shouted spontaneously with a worried expression upon seeing this.
"Calm down. Pay close attention to the Herrscher of the End's expression." Mobius said.
Just as she said, the Herrscher of the End's expression was sullenly staring at the thick dust in front of her.
Behind the dust was Kouro who did not have the slightest injury his fluttering coat revealing his clothes that had no damage at all, his hood had also been lifted due to the supersonic impact.
He brushed the dust off his shoulders before saying calmly.
"Is that all you have?"
The Herrscher of the End's brow twitched angrily at his words.
"Then it's my turn."
Kouro did not use his staff; he stuck it into the ground before clenching his palm and punching at her.
Kouro's punch looked slow but the Herrscher of the End's eyes widened at the sight of his punch, as the space rumbled with damage from the impact of Kouro's punch!
[Serious Move: Serious Punch!] + [Power Strike!]
How is that possible?! With just an ordinary human physical body he was able to damage space?! How great was his physical strength!
The Herrscher of the End would not be surprised if Kouro used some sort of authority to strengthen his physique but the problem was that Kouro was currently using his pure physical ability!
The premonition of death was ringing in her ears warning her of Kouro's blow!
