Capítulo 1168: Chapter 1018: I Will Not Lose
“…”
In the beautiful courtyard, Shane sat in the pavilion, for so reason enveloped in silence, gazing at the distant sky, speechless for a long ti.
Recalling the feeling he had just experienced and the faintly perceivable gaze, Shane whispered softly.
“Is it her?”
He had already guessed who it was that just cast that gaze.
That feeling, both unfamiliar and familiar at the sa ti, besides her, there was probably no other.
“Has she finally resurrected?”
Shane then shifted his gaze to the high sky.
There, dark clouds lood, obscuring the sun, and the oppressive feeling was growing stronger.
Almost unconsciously, Shane reached out his hand and placed it on his chest.
The next second, a crimson glow began to shine from Shane’s chest.
Shane instantly snapped back to reality and glanced at the crimson glow.
Within it, a red Treasure Jade erged from Shane’s body.
It quivered lightly while rotating around Shane.
Shane’s gaze followed its trajectory, and he understood the situation instinctively.
“Are you going to return to your true master?”
This was goodbye.
Just like the Holy Sword, even if not deliberately summoned, it would automatically return to the Hero after a certain period of loss. Now, with the Demon King’s resurrection, the Treasure Jade would autonomously return to its rightful owner.
This also ant that even if the owner was unwilling, it would return to its full strength.
In this way, by this ti tomorrow, Shane will likely face the Demon King at her full potential.
An existence so powerful that even the Supre God cannot defeat her, the true strongest being unmatched by anyone.
Such an existence is about to return.
Obstructions are futile.
Struggling will be pointless.
Be it the Holy Sword or the Treasure Jade, they have their exclusive possessors, and no one can intercept their return.
Even the owners themselves, this remains the sa.
Because this is their essence, their root, no matter how they refuse, they won’t succeed.
If it weren’t for Shane possessing half the power of the Demon King and Supre God within him, with the corresponding supre concept, even the Supre God couldn’t send her Treasure Jade to Shane, allowing it to reside in his body.
This is only because the Supre God excels in creating miracles that such a feat can be achieved.
As for the Demon King, she lacks such miraculous power.
Therefore, her resurrection is absolutely unable to prevent the Treasure Jade’s return, allowing it to continue staying with Shane.
“Since that’s the case, you may go back.”
Shane spoke without any reluctance.
The red Treasure Jade trembled lightly, as if responding, also seeming to show reluctance, spinning around Shane a few more tis.
After a long while, the Treasure Jade vanished with a burst of crimson glow right before Shane.
Shane watched its departure, then spoke to the void.
“You also call it back, the next round is mine alone.”
This voice settled over Shane for a mont, then promptly received a response.
Following the crimson glow, a deep blue glow shone from Shane.
This ti, what erged from Shane was a blue Treasure Jade.
The Goddess’s Treasure Jade also spun around Shane once, then decisively disappeared.
Shane smiled slightly.
“This way, I only represent myself.”
Shane imrsed his consciousness deep within his body, gazing at the Holy Sword suspended there, eyes gleaming with spirit.
“Tomorrow…”
Shane murmured.
“Tomorrow, let everything co to an end.”
This was both a declaration and a decision.
The long-entangled love and hatred, it was ti to lower the curtain.
…
Over the next period, various new information gradually gathered in the Royal Capital.
At this juncture where the decisive battle drew near, both natural and man-made disasters halted at the mont, ushering in a calm before the storm.
Vivian, Tielle, and Aridia, who went to reclaim the Dwarf Clan, have successfully returned in triumph, bringing back mbers of the Dwarf Clan who surrendered at the crucial mont.
Natsu, the king of the Dwarf Clan, also got captured and was brought before Nadura, handed over to the Nature Goddess in charge of guiding and managing the Dwarf Clan to face justice.
The remaining dwarves were the sa; those who aided evil were captured or repelled, while those dwarves forced into compliance were dealt with leniently, much like the Beastman Race, already re-enlisted and beca part of the Kingdom’s defense forces.
Thus, all the traitors among the Human Race have been purged, leaving only the traitors among the Divine Race and Demon Clan, as well as a few human nation forces, still aligned with the new [Primordial Demon].
It’s worth ntioning that the survivors from the Ragna Empire successfully united with Vivian and others, returning to the Royal Capital.
Harvis, Cappelen, Rocque, Tilly—these individuals fortunately survived the prior national calamity, eting Shane in the Royal Capital, and both sides felt a sense of nostalgia.
Until this mont, the forces of mankind in the Human Realm have fully gathered.
The remaining people are all enemies.
And the good news ends here.
While gathering all the combat forces here, the new-born [Primordial Demon] started taking action as well.
Perhaps under the command of Danass himself, monster armies scattered across the world began to converge in one direction instead of wandering aimlessly.
Whether it’s the Refined Demon, the Dead spirit, or the Demon Infant, under the command of magic entities, they all headed towards the Divine’s Canyon.
In other words, the enemy is also gathering all their forces.
This situation indicates that the ultimate showdown is truly approaching.
While Shane was gathering this intelligence, he was called over by Lidas and others on the night of the last day.
The Three Great Goddesses and the Justice Goddess gathered together and inford Shane of their decision.
“In this battle, we have decided to join you and put all our forces into ending the new-born [Primordial Demon].”
Lidas conveyed this decision to Shane as a representative.
“Have you decided?”
Shane was not surprised, he just looked at the four Supre Goddesses and made a final confirmation.
The Goddesses seed to have considered things thoroughly and revealed expressions of helplessness or filled with determination.
“Since things have already developed to this point, we can’t just stand by idly.”
Lidas sighed.
“In a way, this might be a good thing.”
Anima comnted.
“No need to continually grapple with the enemy, prolonging the war, but to settle the score decisively and determine the future of the world. Such a final showdown is better than dragging it out indefinitely.”
Nadura expressed this clearly, having evidently thought it through.
As for Artemis, the Justice Goddess furrowed her brow but no longer stubbornly insisted on her views.
“Although I still can’t agree with your approach, the Demon King has indeed resurrected, making the situation irreparable, so dwelling on the past is pointless.”
Artemis declared this statent.
As she said, everything has already happened, and pursuing it offers no real aning.
The urgent thing now is to deal with all of this, to resolve it, rather than continue to get entangled with events that have already unfolded aninglessly.
Artemis is very clear on this point.
Thus, Artemis is now focused entirely on the impending showdown.
This battle, since it’s about deciding the future of the world, the victors and losers of the war, deciding all outcos, Artemis surely wouldn’t be absent.
No matter whether the opponents are the Demon King or the terrifying forces of [Primordial Demon], Artemis would not watch helplessly as the world falls into their hands.
Moreover, as the Goddess of the Divine Race, including Artemis, all Goddesses acknowledge Supre God Ominis as the supre existence.
If the revival of the Demon King involved the tacit approval of the Supre God, then as Goddesses of the Divine Race, they cannot defy the will of the Mother Goddess and pursue this matter.
Therefore, this battle cannot be avoided by the Divine Race.
It’s not just the Divine Race; the Demon Clan and Human Race cannot avoid this battle either.
“The Human Race has consolidated all its powers, ready and prepared.”
“The Divine Race has also gathered all remaining Goddesses in the Human Realm, ready for combat.”
“Even on the Demon Clan’s side, there is support from Enchanting Demon and Dragon Demon, gathering many Demons left in the Human Realm, which is uncertain whether lucky or unlucky.”
“The Three Great Races are all fully prepared for war, just waiting for tomorrow’s decisive battle.”
Lidas, Anima, Nadura, and Artemis, four Goddesses, spoke in succession.
Now there remains only one question.
“Are you really intending to face the Demon King alone?”
The Goddesses all turned their gaze towards Shane, so with serious expressions, others showing concern.
This is the most critical question.
At this point, regardless of whether the opponent has newborn demons or mysterious necromancers, even two Heroes at Demon Level, they’re no longer problematic.
The crowd is no longer afraid of such opponents and is confident to compete with them without being at a disadvantage.
Especially with Ai Yi and Chafne’s arrival, despite removing Shane, counting in Lilith, there are seven Transcendent Level existences.
Faced with the decisive battle, they are not at all intimidated.
Except for that one, there’s absolutely no solution.
No matter how many Transcendent Levels co, facing the Demon King, they can only be a al.
A thousand years ago, Hero Mithra combined forces with the Supre God to finally grasp an opportunity, wagering his life, using the Holy Sword to deliver the Demon King a fatal blow.
Now, with the Supre God secluded and clearly not intending to intervene in this situation, how could Shane handle the Demon King alone?
This is what everyone is most worried about.
But Shane was calm.
“Don’t worry.”
Shane spoke.
“I won’t lose.”
An astonishing surge of power flashed and vanished from Shane’s body.
This power left the Goddesses montarily breathless, faces full of horror.
And Shane had already turned away, leaving the Divine Hall, seemingly heading towards a distant, unknown domain, gradually moving away.
