CHAPTER 398: 398 BECAUSE I’M NOT ALONE.

[OP: ]

There were people that he had the support of, and in this moment, those people weren’t limited to just the people that he had the support of at that moment.

There were even more people who were watching them at that moment, listening to them and seeing what was going on on this battlefield.

He was a strong being but he was alone while he was a weak being who had people who agreed with his ways, people who liked his story, and people who wanted to support him.

"Skill."

He looked right in the glowing eyes of the emperor and smirked in mockery.

"{Natural Assimilation}, {Nature’s will}, {Origin}."

He activated some skills that individually did not really have any great use.

And after activating these skills, he pulled out a certain artifact from his storage space."

-Ooooooooooong!

Resembling a strange black jewel, it would seem like nothing but a simple object of high value to the people who didn’t know about what this was.

However, to every single spectator that was looking at them at that moment, this was something of immense value.

{ "Request." }

He used the Mana voice, something he usually does not use.

And as a response, the system window appeared before him.

[{( You can not use that! )}]

"Of course I can~. Watch me."

He smirked at the emperor once again and avoided all his following attacks while holding the strange gem that in fact was something that belonged only to someone from the deep parts of hell.

Something that was not supposed to exist in this place, was something all the demons desired, while it was also something that attracted the divine beings of the pure paths because of its usefulness.

This was not something one could just obtain as anything and, to obtain this, he had to meet up directly with a ruler of a demonic region and someone that was not something that one could face without actual reason and authority.

They were parents of someone he had killed previously... parents of a prisoner who was also corrupted by the distorted desires that even a demon like her should not have had.

She was a miserable soul that was just wronged by the world and she was not supposed to be like that, but things turned out that way and she was imprisoned for an eternity. She went mad and then was consumed by corruption as she trapped herself in a sweet dream that was neither real nor something one should have been imprisoned by.

Thinking back, Eisheth was a simple demon who merely wanted pleasure and nothing too deep. She was just unfortunate to have fallen under the scales of that being and was not in any state to handle herself in her last moments.

He gave her the rest she needed and after that, he found an object that belonged to her original self in that dungeon.

He was soon approached by her parents and after a long negotiation with them, he handed them the last remaining memorials of their beloved daughter back to her parents in exchange for this...

{ "Requesting [Will sharing] on an extraterrestrial level on Self." }

[Request received. For a function usage of this level, the authority and payments must be sufficient.]

{ "I’ll just use this." }

A simple stone that was something not too attractive. Something one might just ignore as a costly object of decoration if they did not know the price of this thing.

However, for the spectators who were going wild after seeing these objects in the hands of someone who wasn’t even related to any great forces, this was an unbelievable moment.

They were talking about something that was limited in this entire Worldline. Something that could only be used once and something that was only possessed by certain special individuals of the Worldline.

In the heavenly realm, it was called [Fruit of stars], in hell, this same object was called [First flame of darkness].

In the realm of dwarves, this was called [Deus EX], some even called it the [Primordial code].

For some angels, this was [Breath of worldline], for some dragons, this was [Original order], for some long-life species, this was the [Pearl of nirvana] while for those who had reached closer to liberation, this was an [Experience of finality].

Whatever one called it, this object was something that few in the Worldline possessed and something that was priced several hundred million Oz.

It wasn’t something that could be bought with money and only something that could be earned through luck or thorough achievements.

This was something he had obtained with many difficulties, but... there was only one function of this special object.

’To pass any system request ’once’.’

That was all it did. Nothing more.

It was a consumable... but in this worldline, this was the highest grade of consumable one could ever get their hands on.

And, there was no limitation to what it can do so some humans could also compare it with the [Philosopher’s stone].

[Ding.]

[ Special object detected. System request will be passed with the authority of the Worldline ]

The system requests one could make had inherent limitations that weren’t affected by the kind of authority one possessed or what kind of things were on the line.

It was just as same as it was for some mortals and highest-graded divine beings.

[Starting [Will Sharing] on an extraterrestrial level. The will of all the individuals wishing for your success will be gathered in one place and grated to the requestor.]

He wanted to use this stone at some other time, but now that things had turned like this, he did not mind using it for this task.

There was a different place he needed this thing in, but that could wait until they finished all their things in this world.

-Oooooooooooooooooooooong!

What Lucy just used was a unique system function that granted one the power to use a portion of the power from everyone who wanted to see them succeed in the given scenario.

There was a limit to how much power could be granted and how much longer one could use that power, but it greatly depended on the kind of mentality one possessed– which meant for him, this function was the best way to deal with their current situation.

[ *Will of all who believed in the heroic general of the white sword received a special message simultaneously, asking them if they wanted to support the hero in his last battle against the absolute emperor who was now on the chariot of ascension.* ]

Light particles started gathering around Lucy and as they did, a new white aura resembling the golden light making up the emperor’s spirit started rising up from him.

-Oooooooooooong...!

The emperor attacked him with all the intention to end him right then and there and even went as far as trying to attack his subordinates that were still present on this battlefield, however, before he did that, he was attacked by a strange sword slash.

-Click.

He was ascending so his entire body was in the spirit form.

Physical attacks would not work on him and that much was obvious. Even special magical attacks and Aura would not work on him that well... but, the moment he was attacked by this white Aura, his entire being was shaken from its very core.

[{( Aughhhhhhh! )}]

Even though he was near invincible at this moment, he was attacked by a power that was so powerful it gave him the kind of pain he was not expecting to experience in this state.

-Click.

And, before he could even react to this one attack, he was attacked once again.

[ *The absolute screamed with the true voice of the divinities.* ]

The battlefield had become still.

There were no movements at all and only the screams of the one that once ruled this entire continent.

[{( That power...! How...?! )}]

The emperor already knew what was happening. But he could not understand why this was happening.

"Because I am not alone, you see."

-Click.

[{( Aughhhhhhhh! )}]

Countless people were watching him right now. And countless people wanted this foul being to die.

He did not ask them to hate him nor did he do anything that would make him look bad.

The voice of this world told his life story to the rest of the world and then the spectators who had been watching over this person since a long time ago shared evidence of the things that were spoken by the voice of this world.

They all saw with their own eyes what he had done and how he had done these things. And, the evil faction aside, most of the other factions, even the neutral ones, did not like what he had done until now.

They surely liked what Lucy had done and how he had presented them with great content until now.

He was much more promising than this talentless emperor as well, so they all supported him.

"Your journey ends here, Emperor."

The combined wills of all the viewers, people that were close to him, and people that believed in him. The will of his viewers who wanted to see more of his content and loved what he showed them, those who followed them just because they found them admirable, and even the will of all the citizens of this world who had now learned about the truth of their emperor.

Every single one of them now wanted the demise– the eternal fall of the absolute emperor.

And they all had collectively chosen him as the representative, giving them a part of their little strengths, helping him in his final execution.

[ *On the verge of ascension, the emperor was faced with the most unexpected challenge of his life.* ]

Now, facing him was a mortal who carried the collective will of millions of beings who wished for His death.

At this moment, he knew his death had knocked on his doorstep.

[{( As if I’ll die here! )}]

He knew his demise was here. And yet...

And yet... he still wanted to struggle until the very end.
