Hero of Darkness

Chapter 5: The Reason

SILENCE. ANOTHER TOTAL SILENCE.

Kill the Demon God? What the fuck?! How was Elric going to do it? From what he heard G.O.D. & Kravel say before, even those who came before him and also the Chosen ones of other Gods failed to do so and probably they all died including the previous summon who came before Elric. So how was he supposed to do it? Saving the world sounded good only when it was fictional or somebody else did it. Who would waste their life just so they could brag about it...

Elric looked at the two ultimate beings who were standing in front of him.. His expression was as if they killed his dog. Even Kravel who was even sterner and stone-faced than G.O.D. looking the other way as if he was thinking 'The weather is very nice today'. Both of them were beings who could destroy an entire country with just a wave of their hand but now they were avoiding eye contact with a single human as they felt embarrassed for making such a request.

G.O.D. Finally dared to look at him and asked, "So what do you think? Do you accept our proposal?"

Elric shouted, "No. Nahi. Nay. Nada. Nako. Nie. Ie. Ani. Méiyǒu !!" he refused in all the different languages he knew.

He sat on the imaginary ground and held his head in both of his hands. He felt like dying one more time. He started hurling abuses at the two godly existences in front of him again.

"Fuck you! Fuck your mom! Fuck your sister! Fuck your entire family!" Elric kept rambling as he started cursing G.O.D. & Kravel's 18 generations of ancestors.

Unlike the previous time, both G.O.D. & Kravel didn't exude any killing intent & stood there like little kids who were being scolded by their parents. All they could do was endure with their heads hanging down.

After 10 minutes of rambling & cursing, Elric finally stopped as he was thinking of ways to escape his current predicament.

"What if I don't accept it? You clearly can't make me accept by force & that's why you need my approval." Elric said with a smug face.

But G.O.D. spoke again with a calculative expression on his face. "You're right. We can't transfer your soul into our world without your permission. However, it's not like you have any other choice either. We're currently inside the World Boundary. Look at the dome around us. It's a personal space I created when I summoned the souls from your world. Without it, nothing is supposed to exist in this place." G.O.D. said in a smug tone.

there really was nothing. No light, no land, no water, not even air, nothing. He thought he might cease to exist if he went outside but after hearing G.O.D. explain it, he found it believable. Why would a literal God like God of Darkness need to create a barrier and protect himself from this place? If he could enter

And with different species in our world reaching the most prominent time of their civilizations; something like wars for survival, for resources & for the beliefs that were instilled in them by the Gods they've worshipped till now, conflict was bound to occur. The past 5 Thousand years were a testament to its greatest impact in the history of our world. And the Demon God, who was born as nothing but an anomaly in our world kept feeding over it and is becoming stronger and stronger again. Even though he is still not even half as strong as any of the 12 Gods. At this rate, we think it won't take him even next 100 years before he reaches to our level and establishes his Law of existence into our
