This is the story of a magician and an elf girl.

"You will understand, right? This world cannot be without the management of the underworld. Now that the Goddess of Night and Hades are gone, if no one takes over the management of the underworld, the concept of life and death will become a mess, and the laws will be very troubled."

"No... that's what I said... but!"

“This cane is the symbol of Hades and the source of his power. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to do anything with it, but my magic eye can even transform Hera’s power into an intellectual product to interfere with it. Using this as an example, it’s not difficult to interfere with it.

Now I understand. The existence of God can be understood by the Demon's Eye, because Satan is both a demon and an evil god. It seems that its power was born from the very beginning in order to seize the power of other gods. Precisely because it has no intellect and no power, human beings exist like this, always longing for new experiences and everything that it does not have.

The concept of good and evil that Satan gave to Adam not only influenced the thoughts of all mankind, but the reason was closer to using humans to seize the power of God. If humans succeed, it will use this to completely strengthen its own achievements and become a "human being capable of seizing the power of God". This is a huge force that cannot be underestimated. "

Linnae shook her head. What she wanted to hear was not these meaningless explanations - but what John meant by his intention to become the "God of Hades": "No... That's not the question, is it?! I don't want this!! It's too sudden! In this case... Brother, won't you have to go alone... alone to a place where there is no one?"

Although John looked calm with an expressionless face, Linna knew that he was not someone who could withstand such torture. The adventurers and goddesses who all felt something was wrong came over and asked, "Linna? What's wrong?"

"Brother, he..."

"John? What's going on... that cane in your hand is..."

"This can only be done by an immortal. After the ghosts and gods... I will become the next generation of the underworld god."

““! !””

The stunned Athena and Venus knew John's intention as soon as they heard it, but it was almost unprecedented for humans to take over Hell.

"I understand your feelings... but John... is this really okay? Things have come to this point..."

"Linnay doesn't want you to leave either. Wait a little longer, okay? Zeus must have noticed this and will probably find a way to send other gods to take over Hell. Then you can hand over the cane to him—"

The indigo eyes were once again ignited by the determination to change. The magician stared at the adventurers and others, and it seemed that he had no intention of entrusting them to other gods: "Forgive me for rejecting it - things like what happened just now cannot happen again. I will rule the underworld and take this opportunity to abolish all the powers that summon the products of hell. There will no longer be puppets that blaspheme death in this world..."

"--fraud."

John felt a chill in his heart, and his eyes turned back to Linnae. She lowered her head, wiped the tears from her eyes, and raised her head, staring at John who still had a ghostly figure with unwilling eyes: "Big liar, big liar, big liar! Brother, you big liar! Why! Didn't you agree to stand by me? Why do you think so again! Do you have a bad habit of forgetting the agreement when you gain new power?!"

"No...it's not like that, Linna...I already understand. The laws cannot be changed. It is enough for organisms to maintain the status quo. People can also create their own future. I have no reason to stay here anymore, but even so, I still want to help you, Linna. If you manage this world, you will definitely need the assistance of the administrator of another world. I am the person you can trust the most, right? As long as you are willing to trust me, I will-"

“——No! I don’t want you to leave me, brother! I want to be with you forever!!”

"..."

The emotional Linnae canceled the Elf Goddess mode. She knew that her actions had been too protective of John, but the law was not going to punish her at this point. What's more, both of them were saviors of the world. If she had to choose between them, even the law or order would find it difficult to make a judgment.

"You just... you just don't want to be by my side?"

Of course, John wanted to stay, too.

"As expected... it's still unavoidable... I knew it... you would definitely do your best to stop me."

If possible, he certainly didn't want to leave.

"Of course, everything is over. Make a last agreement with me. If I win, you have to throw away the cane and stay by my side forever and ever. You can't leave me until you die. You must stay together forever until we grow old and the law takes our lives. You will never be alone again."

But this is the only power that can bring about change without changing the laws. John can know the result through the power of cause and effect interference. But this time he just wants to follow his own choice, not relying on the magic eye, not relying on power, not relying on any power, but only wants to use his pure purpose - to help her, whom he loves, create a new future.

"Ah... we've made an appointment... but if you lose, you have to be a good kid and stay here and stop interfering with my choices. Linna, the time I spent with you was really fun... I will never forget the light you gave me, so - goodbye, I'll just be alone from now on."

So no matter what, John couldn't give up the opportunity to take over Hell.

It was as if it was destined by fate - the two would never be together forever, and would inevitably take action for the sake of peace and the interests of the world. Whether it was her or him, the choices of the two would never be compatible.

"Hey...are they serious..."

"Wait... Linna! Elder! What do you want to say..."

"It's too late... they've already..."

The two men, who didn't listen to what others said at all, pulled out the daggers and arrows from the scabbards. Linnay clamped the arrow between her fingertips, pulled the bowstring, and aimed an arrow at John's left foot - whoosh!

He saw through the tracks at a glance, dodged to the right, and rushed towards Linnai, throwing two throwing knives - whoosh!

The blade that passed by Linnae's hair brushed across her cheek. She also rushed forward with three arrows in her palm, pulled the string with her thumb and index finger, aimed at his left shoulder and shot the arrow - click!

John, who smashed it with one knife, observed Linnay's sight with amazing dynamic vision. He placed the arrow tail accurately into the nock and repeated the same action at an extremely fast speed to shoot the remaining three arrows - whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

There is no predictable element in arrows that can be aimed with the eyes. John, who can only rely on dynamic vision to dodge arrows, has greatly reduced his speed. At this time, the tree spirit reflected in the arrow body promoted the growth of spores to form tiny vines that bound his left hand. Linnay, who took advantage of the victory and pulled out another arrow, aimed at him again.

"Running at full speed!"

"Sickle Moon Wind Slash."

At the same time, John broke free from his restraints and injected magic power into the dagger, causing its swollen outline to form a sharp arc as it was thrown towards the arrow in front of him - bang!

The collision and confrontation skills detonated magic power. Linna, who should have had the upper hand, didn't know what tricks he had used. The withered vines seemed to have suddenly lost their vitality...

"The movement has stopped?"

"!"

"bump!"

John rushed through the smoke at an extremely fast speed and kicked Linnai's forearm which was protecting her chest. Linnai wanted to use grappling techniques in turn, but John saw through her move. Her arm was grabbed by brute force and she was thrown backwards like a ball. But at the same time, Linnai stretched out a vine in her hand and wrapped it around his arm to shorten the distance. After hitting John's forearm with both feet, she turned around and pulled the bowstring in the air - whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

John, who had performed a backflip swiftly, was pierced by several arrows on the ground where he was standing a second ago, and his eyes also lost track of Linnae's figure - bang!

She had already gone behind John, supporting her upper body with her hands on the ground, and her feet were firmly on his back.

"!"

"Really merciless?"

I don’t know if he was serious or not, but Linna saw him turn around and kick out a spinning kick before landing - bang!

Linnai, who was protecting her head, realized that he was aiming at her waist. She flew out and was caught by the other party in an instant and hit in the stomach with a knee. Linnai vomited gastric juice and endured the disgusting taste running through her tongue and throat, then pulled out a dagger and stabbed him.

But turning around and grabbing the forearm to take away the dagger was a skill that was as natural as breathing for John. He used the blade as a second wrist to block Linna's forearm and put the knife to her neck...
