Hero Creator: The Last Hero
Ch. 7 — Betting and the Future

"Stage Three: Birth of the Gods!"

Removing the seal towards the third gate, the flame of the runes on the right hand grew brighter and increased by one line, which made it three lines according to the level at hand.

A void force gathered on his hand, against the onslaught that was approaching him which was only a few seconds away from reaching him, he smiled. Removing such a power would be difficult, but it was different if it absorbed or—

"From before me..."

—crushing it will be a good road. He gently clenched his finger and along with his clenched finger, the attack in front of him disappeared like an illusion.

The black and white light that chased each other and formed an unstable sphere completely vanished, a sight that was hard to believe by the eyes. Red, Acnologia, even the others who witnessed it did not believe their eyes.

The power that once eliminated hundreds of dragons, the power that even eliminated the Dragon Emperor was overcome so easily. Gods still might do it, yet this was only a human being who got the title of Hero, was it possible?

For the first time in his life, he ran out of words to say. His jaw did not move, not that it could not, but did not want to do so. Then, the words he could say were only—

"You.., are you human?"

—unusual questions. Something that should have obviously no longer needed to be asked, he knew that very well. However, such a powerful force was not something that humans would possess. Although he is really not a human, but a God with a human form, then...

"I don't know what I am now. I really don't know, but, I can clearly state that I'm still human."

Rigel doesn't know what to consider himself. He once shared a body with Antares, gained Void power from Gods, fought like a monster with no sense, all of which do not describe humans at all.

He could only make sure that his human heart was still in place, his stained soul was still human-shaped, his indistinct body was still human-like.

"Now, let's mean it..—"

The runes burned his hands with an overflowing power from the last time using them. The flow seemed to burn, tickle. A feeling of unidentified emptiness enveloped him all the way to the veins.

"I underestimated too much. What I consider a water flea is now showing its fangs..."

He knew clearly that power was not something very, very, very pleasant. His instincts say that. Try to give a warning of danger if you underestimate it too much.

Not a bad choice, Acnologia. Using Yamikari early includes the right decision, careful, good, ingenious, to the point of being terrible.

Although it makes no difference to use it now or later, the problem is that he will not know early that the strength is able to break Yamikari as easily as peeling the skin of a peanut.

"It looks like you're starting to freak out, lizard. I promise to give you easy death if you accept defeat and kneel before me."

Rigel knew clearly his own words were ridiculous, he knew that but loudly stated it. He did not put down any hope that Acnologia would just obey him. Even if he felt fear, he had the belief that fear only led him to an even more terrifying fight.

The worst part, he had to absorb the life in this place and even use destruction in stage five.

He was unwilling to use it, although he never knew what strength was waiting for.

The first stage, Voidness, can abolish power to a certain extent, it can even cast energy that erases something. An example of him throwing a small amount of energy into a rock, will eventually form a super neat hole.

The second stage, Creation of the World, is almost no different from the first stage which abolishes all forms and life. Stage two can form an unstable energy that can explode and obliterate any physical form that is within its reach.

Stage three, the Birth of the Gods, an advanced force of nothingness that allows Rigel to move in time zones that slow down or stop, within a certain time limit. This third stage also allowed him to strengthen the use of the Territory of Void.

..."Huh, scared? Try it if you can scare me, man!"...

"As your request!"

Acnologia crashing and Rigel also crashing. They were united with the wind to the point that an ordinary human eye that was not well trained would not be able to keep up with his movements.

Trying to dig through wounds after wounds, punch after punch, blow after blow, impact after impact, they tried to take each other's lives.

The bet between the strongest man against the strongest dragon enslaves with unparalleled destruction. Black and white balls and blue balls, bursts of fire and explosions of fire, dragon claws and human fists clashed wildly against each other.

"There are no battle loopholes I can exploit. If logged in carelessly—"

—i will die in vain.

Red clearly sensed that the battle in front of him was already in a different dimension. Once again, about a human named Amatsumi Rigel, she must evaluate all rights about him once again.

I don't know how many times he did it, he forgot. Too much of him changed the evaluation of Rigel until he no longer wanted to count it.

Red planned to just look at it, but he undoed that intention. The goal of coming here was not to see their fight, but to save their race from the hands of Acnologia.

Moreover, she was very surprised by the Fairy Queen coming into the fight and heading towards the lair of Acnologia for a reason that she did not think too much about.

"Remain suspicious if he has any interest in humans, especially the Heroes he hates."

Often he thought about it since seeing Rigel and Sylph side by side. He ignored things too much to the point of missing an important part that he should have noticed.

"Untum now, let's guess kill the disgusting mix!"

He spread his wings and joined the other dragons into the battlefield.

"Crazy, it seems like our decision was not wrong to hand the one there to Rigel" Petra said as she looked at the intense fight behind her.

"Wherever you look at it, its power is not something that humans have. I'm grateful that there are people like her on our side!" exciting Marcel.

If from the beginning Rigel had never been on the same side, their difficulties would have been inevitable. With Creator's ability to bring modern weapons to this world, both state and individual combat forces are powerful.

"It's not time to talk! As Acnologia focuses on Rigel, we must seize this opportunity to destroy the mastermind behind the chaos!" said Sylph who led the way while snaring the monsters that confronted and let the Heroes kill him.

"That's right, the sooner we beat the mastermind—"

"—the sooner we can help Rigel!"

Takumi was worried about something, about what Rigel told him and Yuri, about his terrifying fourth stage.

Takumi does not want Rigel to dirty his hands further, does not want to make him bear more sins and the important thing of the most important, he does not want Rigel to lose his identity.

The big fights and big bets everyone has, because their future is at stake.
