Chapter 1727

It was the case with all the G.o.ds who descended with Zeratul.

Velma, the G.o.d of Regret, wasnt well known.

Very few people knew of her and even they gave her a bad a.s.sessment.

The G.o.d of Regretwasnt this name sinister?

It was a name like she would nag at them to realize their mistakes and repent.

Velmain fact, her role was to help humans live a life without regrets.

She took on a mission that was practically impossible.

She suffered from too many failures and was deeply troubled.

Is my role right?

It isnt right.

To eliminate regret from human life is just arrogance from now knowing human beings...

From the moment she realized this, Velma changed her ways.

She didnt help humans to stop feeling regret, but she cared for humans suffering from regret.

To do this, she had to focus on the lives of individual human beings.

Other great G.o.ds exerted their influence over many human beings, while she communicated with every human one by one.

Zik you have experienced me, so you know best. I am a very incompetent G.o.d. Please dont be disappointed too much.

She learned swordsmans.h.i.+p because she wanted to give the lone swordsman the will to live.

Yet was it really possible?

Could the swordsmans.h.i.+p she learned instill a new will in the strongest swordsman?

She didnt dare to doubt the swordsmans.h.i.+p of Martial G.o.d Zeratul.

The problem was with her.

She had never fought in her life, so she wondered if she could fight well...

If you dont trust yourself, why dont you use your power?

It happened as Velmas heart shook as she faced Zik...

The G.o.d of Magic and Wisdomthe new G.o.d who was just born advised her from offstage.

In any case, this confrontation will end in a victory for the Overgeared World. The thing you should be obsessed with is the content, not the outcome of the fight.

Braham was being cautious.

He showed a polite att.i.tude to Velma when he belittled almost all his opponents, except for Hayate.

It was out of respect for Velma.

He respected her essence, not her old and dwarfed appearance.

Surely you didnt intend to compete in pure swordsmans.h.i.+p against the strongest swordsman?

......

Thats right.

It was arrogance to compete in pure swordsmans.h.i.+p against the lone swordsman.

Arrogance was what Velma hated the most.

It happened as Velma was almost persuaded...

You don't have to listen to him.

Zik poured cold water on her.

His eyes were unusually sharp as he glanced at Braham.

He looked somewhat aggressive, unlike his usual calm eyes.

It was because he read Brahams intentions.

Braham snorted.

I think it is too late.

It was true.

Velma had already taken out her power.

She generated dozens of clones.

The facial expression of each clone was different.

It was because they were clones that embodied the human regrets that Velma had been carrying.

It wasnt glamorous like the power of the other G.o.ds, but rather had a gloominess to it.

Thank you, Braham. I have realized a lot thanks to you.

The lone swordsman and Zik in front of herthey have been honing their swords all their lives.

It would only bring shame if she asked them to compete in pure swordsmans.h.i.+p.

Velma abandoned her hesitation after thinking about it and took a step forward.

Then the dozens

of clones followed her movements.

Thump.

Dozens of steps took place at the same time and the stage vibrated slightly.

Velmas clones grew from dozens to hundreds.

Hundreds of steps were taken simultaneously again and there was a loud noise this time.

Then Velmas clones increased from hundreds to thousands.

This meant there were so many regrets from humans that she had witnessed.

...Braham.

Zik let out a small sigh.

People thought Zik was frustrated.

Zik was in a crisis because Braham provoked Velma.

Yes, it was a crisis.

Each of Velmas thousands of clones had different regrets.

One was the regret of a great magician.

His young days.

The mistakes he made in order to learn magic more easily stained his later years with pain.

Velmas clone recreated his magic as he regretted and lamented his past choices at the end of his life.

One was the regret of a middle-aged composer.

He was blinded by greed and plagiarized his precious friends work. This caused him to suffer from terrible nightmares every night.

His friend committed suicide because he couldnt handle the sight of the song he had sung to a childhood friend becoming his

friends wor

k and spreading all over the world.

Ahhhhhh!

Velmas clone recreated the screams of the middle-aged composer, who produced the melody stolen from his friend with a scream.

There was the regret of an ordinary head of the household, the regret of a young girl , and the regret of a brave warrior.

Countless regrets were recreated by Velmas clones and caused powerful waves.

They were wavelengths that gave Zik both physical pain and heartache.

It was a level of pain that the Zik from a short time ago wouldve never been able to handle.

In fact, everyone off the stage was suffering.

Many people groaned as their minds were devastated by the indirect experiences alone.

Even Grid frowned.

It was the ultimate mental attack accompanied by physical attacks.

He thought that even he wouldnt be safe if he was. .h.i.t by this from the front.

However, Zik endured it casually.

A colorless divinity enveloped him.

It was a divinity that absorbed all the regrets that Velma reproduced before they reached Zik, integrating and transforming them into a single concept.

All the physical attacks caused by the warriors regrets, the rampaging magic caused by the magicians regrets, and the melancholy and status abnormalities caused by the regrets of ordinary people were turned into Ziks sword energy.

This...?

Velmas eyes trembled as she witnessed the unbelievable scene in real time and she s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Braham.

She realized that it had been a trap.

Braham just shrugged.

It is a pity.

The colorless divinity that Zik reproduced with runes was a clumsy imitation of the divinity of King Sobyeol.

It

adsorbed

any concept and transformed it into a single concept. Then it absorbed, amplified, and released it.

The greater the force of the target, the more light it exerted.

As Brahams method of destruction proved, this was actually a poison when the power of the target was infinite. However, Braham could be certain that there were few beings in the world who could use such an ignorant method of destruction.

Kyaaaak!

Velmas clones were destroyed.

All the regrets were turned into sword energy and they couldnt handle Ziks attack power.

Velmas main body struck at Ziks sword energy several times.

Her swordsmans.h.i.+p had been honed for the lone swordsman, so it was as good as her mindset.

Zik... I think you have become more shrewd.

......

Velmas voice had become calm again as she raised her sword with her bent back and blocked Ziks attack. There wasnt the slightest sign of resentment toward Zik, who had involved (?) her with Braham and caused her to fall into a trap.

It is good. You experienced the end of an upright life in the previous world. I hope you have no regrets in this life.

......

Zik tried to open his mouth several times.

He wanted to protest that there were some unfair parts due to Braham, but Velma didnt give him a chance.

The victim, Velma, had the right to complain, but Velmas att.i.tude was favorable throughout.

Heh

.

What was so good? Braham was smiling arrogantly...

Velmas wrinkled mouth slowly curved in a smile as she saw Zik frown slightly.

Youve made good friends in this world.

...

Huh?

There was a rare, shocked look on Ziks face.

He honestly couldnt believe his ears.

Velma chuckled.

Your face shows your emotions. It is just like the days when you were

with the other

good people.

This... Im just angry...

Zik finally got a chance to protest, but he shut his mouth along the way.

The very fact that he was angry with someone came as a shock.

A half-G.o.dZik was different from ordinary humans.

He couldnt easily communicate with others, so he always kept his distance.

However, there was no such distance with Braham.

It happened naturally without him even realizing it.

It was because Brahams position was as special as his own.

The same was true of Grid and the other apostles.

The other good people will surely be happy to see you now.

Just then

My companions are definitely alive.

Zik was certain of it.

Velma didnt answer hastily.

Zik knew the reason why.

They have become demons.

...Did you figure that out?

Velma couldnt remain silent any longer.

She asked about it with an expression of surprise and Zik demanded an answer.

Arent my companions the great demons sealed by the lonely swordsman?

MullerZik no longer pretended not to know the ident.i.ty of the lonely swordsman.

In the first place, Velma had no intention of hiding it.

He... he believed that

great power came with great responsibility

.

Just like most legends, Sword Saint Muller was a great being.

He always sacrificed himself for others. He was the strongest, but there were times when he was weak.

As evidenced by the story of Muller helping Mountain King Grenier, the legend didnt capture all of Mullers achievements.

In the first place, only a part of Muller became a legend.

Yet in the end, he couldnt die... I wonder if you can help him.

Before they knew it, the battle was coming to an end.

After temporarily absorbing the regrets of humans, Ziks sword energy was strengthened and Velma could no longer handle it.

At this moment, Velma realized it.

She didnt have the ability to help Muller.

Meanwhile, she had hopes that Zik and Braham could be different.

Of course, there was no need to mention the Overgeared G.o.d.

Nevertheless, she didnt mention the Overgeared G.o.d casually.

It was because the hierarchy was different.

Wasnt he the one who defeated Zeratul?

He wasnt someone Velma dared to mention.

If you have a chance some day, please go and see the lonely swordsman. He is a hero who deserves to be saved, but he is also a person who can solve the questions you might have.

Ill definitely find him.

It was Grid, not Zik, who replied to Velmas request.

Velma, whose eyes were half-covered by thick eyelids, bowed her head.

I am relieved that a great G.o.d has made me a promise.

A G.o.d who made other G.o.ds give a deep bowthe 23rd epic ended by restating Grids greatness.

The world message that followed announced the end of the holy war.

[The first holy war between the Overgeared World and Asgard has ended.]

[Martial G.o.d Zeratul wasnt able to compete with Overgeared G.o.d Grid.]

[The apostles of the Overgeared G.o.d have cut off Zeratuls pa.s.sed down martial arts.]

[This has been notarized by humanity.]
