Chapter 1 Beginning's end

I've been called many things

Hero. Savior. Ex-Hero. Betrayer. Then Finally, Demon King. but such titles mean nothing to me as my journey is coming to an end. before me, on her knees is the goddess that once summoned me to this twisted world. bested in combat and now with nothing but an inch of her life left.

"Bastard! All those blessings I give you and this is how you repay me !?" The goddess said as her bloody figure was on her knees, her white dress was drenching in red, and so was her blonde wavy hair. her natural beauty is nowhere to be seen.

"Blessings? All I see are Leash and Shackles meant to keep me in line."

"It's all for the betterment of the World! Tell him about the demon god!" as her gaze landed on the person standing next to me.

"You're delusional as always. Balance will be restored, with or without you." The Woman next to me with a flaming hair said. She's what people know as a Demon God.

"You're taking his side too!? I'll never acknowledge this!"

"Tell that to the lives you took. The innocents you slaughter for the sake of this so-called 'Balance'. And tell me for whose sake is the blood spilled if not for yours."

"They're my property and thus they shall listen and obey only me!"

I grew inpatient at their bickering as I finally finished preparing my spell. as my hands glowed golden. Then, My hands inch ever closer to her Exposed Neck.

"What is that!? GET YOUR FILTHY HAND AWAY FROM ME!"

After I gripped her neck, I felt power coursing over me. The spell I prepared was a slavery spell. Killing her here is the best idea, but I still need her for one more thing. As a bonus it seems that I gained somaning extra from the slavery spell.

As the glow in my hands fade, a tribal-like tattoo is left on the exposed neck of the goddess.

"What... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?"

The power that flows into me is not stopping one bit.

"Your punishment."

As I turned my back towards her. and I cast another spell, dispel magic.

"Is That.... !?"

"Yes! A broadcast magic I developed just for this. It transmits everything I see towards everyone who is inclined with mana."

"F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK! YOU DID THIS! NOW I WOULD HAVE TO KILL EVERYONE THAT KNEW!? SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE DEMON KING!? YOU KILLED THEM ALL!!!!"

she screamed hysterically.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

and then she laughed hysterically.

"KILL ME! JUST F***** END ME, YOU'VE DONE IT, YOU'VE BESTED ME, YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME. YOU HUMILIATED ME! NOW KILL ME! END MEEEEEE "

and then she despaired.

But regardless of her mental state the only reason I kept her alive and enslaved her is I want to go back to my life before all this bullshit.

"Now, Goddess MYRA. Open a reverse summoning circle for me!"

"YOU! I WILL NEV--- AKH---"

the slave seal that's on her neck glows bright pink as a portal opens up. I did not miss a beat as I influenced the portal with my own mana, sustaining it.

"Now for my final order. Goddess MYRA, dissolve your divinity!"

"UKH YOU!!! I SHALL NEV---" she screamed as she dissolved into light particles.

as the light blinds everything. I turned towards the other woman with flaming hair.

"It is done, and so is our pact..."

"I suppose it is."

"Then this is goodbye."

"I suppose it is. But, It is I who will go on ahead.`` At the same time, The demon god, my patreon for the later half of my journey, suddenly glows the same way as the goddess.

I peered into her eyes that's covered in battle armor.

"...why?"

"Why not? I have served my purpose of freeing everyone of the goddess influence. I have ensured my contractor's goal is achieved and the balance has been achieved. there is no more reason for my existence."

"I thought you wanted the throne."

"That cursed thing ? now that you mention it... " her hands extend towards the throne made out of unknown materials, it's more accurate to call it a chair made out of crystals than a throne.

A moment later, the throne exploded as shards filled the surroundings.

"Consider this my last gift. Oh great Demon King." she dissolves into light particles, as the shards which are filling the room from before flies straight at me at a speed that even I had trouble keeping up with. turning me into a porcupine of colorful crystals.

A moment later the crystals melt into my skin and the room goes quiet once again. Being above the clouds and looking down below on the world I've been traveling for a couple of centuries really puts things into perspective and looking back it's one hell of a journey.

but every journey has to come to an end. and this is the end of mine. leaving behind the beautiful blue green ball that I've spent most of my life on. I walked inside the portal.
