Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 694 Smile beyond the fear

The scene before Erste changed again and this time he was in the HQ of the Rebellion. Erste looked around and the sound of fighting could be heard everywhere. The ground was littered with the bodies of Gods and humans.

Despite their best efforts, the humans were losing, in the distance he could see Gratz alongside the other generals fighting the Old Gods. They kept on fighting despite the inevitability of losing.

"It has been an honor fighting side by side with all of you."

"Heh, that it was old man, that it was."

"You two stinky men... (sigh)I guess it was indeed quite fun to have known you guys..."

"Hahaha, who knew that in the end, I could get to hear Sayaka's tsundere line."

"Who are you calling a tsundere?!!!"

"I'm glad that I get to die with you guys."

"It's time to sing for our requiem."

"No need to get so gloomy. I still want to have a drink with you guys after this battle."

The generals looked at each other a smile showing brightly on each of their faces. The generals continued to fight the Old Gods with a display of perfect cooperation but no matter how hard they tried, in the end, they were unable to turn the tide as they fell one by one.

Erste could not do anything but watch as many people die before his very eyes. Despite wanting to save them he could not move a single muscle. All Erste could do now was watch as they bravely fought, as they screamed in pain and terror, as they said their goodbyes, and he could not do a single damn thing.

As he watched each general fall he saw the top gigantic bodies of the dead Old Gods a person moving at incredible speeds. This was none other than the leader of the Rebellion, Frieda. Among all the humans present except for Erste she was the strongest.

Every time she killed a God she grew stronger and faster, but the damage she was accumulating was not healing properly, there was also the fact that her stamina also had a limit. Eventually, despite her overwhelming speed Frieda was slowing down, and the damage she was receiving kept on rising.

Frieda finally stopped moving as she breathed profusely, the speed she was so proud of was slowly failing her. She looked at the many Gods before her and smiled as she shouted at them.

"Even if you kill us all here, this REBELLION will never be over! Humanity will be free from you f*cking evil beings that claim to be Gods!"

Frieda screamed at the top of her lungs as she burst out with the last bit of her strength, the speed she achieved at this moment had surpassed everything. In that single strike where she poured everything she had killed several Old Gods.

Frieda wanted to make another move but her legs finally gave out, her prideful legs could no longer move. Frieda wanted to face her death with a smile but she couldn't as she started crying.

"Damn, I really wanted to see the Rebellion succeed." Even though tears were falling down her face she smiled a very brilliant smile. The attacks of the Old Gods fell down upon her and she died without a single speck of her body remaining.

When every single human except for Erste was dead the Gods left the HQ, the very second they left Erste was finally able to move his body. Erste looked around and saw many of the bodies had been ripped to shreds, the lucky ones had a bit of their faces left.

The heads of children were made into a throne, there was even a throne made of the reproductive organ. It was obvious that the Gods did not treat this as a war but as a game, as a joke.

Erste continued to look around and finally saw the faces of the two people he knew before coming to this place, they were Miguel and Tala. Erste sighed as he looked at the two who at least died with full bodies.

Erste then started to dig their graves and one by one buried the bodies he could find. Erste didn't use any spell or ability as he dug each grave with respect and dedication.

...

The Old God observed Erste's changing expression and was intrigued. Normally at this point in time, his prey would have already gone mad from fear, but surprisingly he could sense the fear from Erste but that was all, there was no madness. It was a normal amount of fear that any living being could have.

The Old God wasn't sure what was happening inside Erste's mind since he somehow could not read this mortal's mind, but he was sure that Erste was seeing his worst nightmares come to life.

The Old God continued to wait as he was curious as to what was going to happen next. The Old God continued to observe Erste and noticed that the scent of fear from Erste was lessening.

This was the first time the Old God had encountered such a thing since Erste was supposed to be seeing his fears getting progressively worse. Seeing what was happening before him the Old God thought that this would be the best time to kill Erste while he was unable to fight back, since if ever Erste was able to somehow overcome his primal fears then he wouldn't be able to win.

Among the Old Gods, the first generation created by the strongest Ancient God was quite powerful not because of their physical prowess but because of their special abilities. They were able to use the negative emotions of other beings as their source of power, they can even inflict other beings with something akin to a curse simply with their presence.

Once you remove their special abilities these first-generation Old Gods were just slightly stronger Old Gods.

...

Despite knowing the consequences of not killing Erste now, the Old God continued to observe and not do anything else. Time had passed and for normal humans, it would have been a long time but to an Old God, it was just a blink of an eye. The distress in Erste's face disappeared and what replaced it was that familiar vicious smile of his. It was a smile that made even the Old God feel a chill.

The Old God already knew that Erste was about to wake up and the next thing that would happen to him could only be death. Still, the Old God waited patiently as he wanted to ask Erste a question, and once it was answered the Old God felt that it didn't really matter if he died or not.
