The Heir of the God of Death
Chapter 97's

On one side the boundless darkness and darkness was slowly forming itself. A scene with a very creepy forest.

"Hok! The hok! Oh.hoek...!"

There was a young man who fell helplessly and his body was hard to build.

"Damn! What was that?!"

Suddenly I was in this strange place and even more surprising, in my head came many strange and terrible memories.

"Rice..."

Yes it is a name that is remembered and I feel that I have been in someone's body at that time and after that I find it difficult to digest all those memories because of the amount of time that has been passed so it is difficult to remember again when and how long I lived at that time.

"Forgot that, where am I now?"

This place looks like a forest in the Hades world, horror and full of nightmares.

"Is this the new world of the system?"

I think it's a system act, but the weird thing is I can't bring up the system window and again when I want to enter Heredis mode can't either. It was as if this was a world that had nothing to do with system interference.

"You can't do anything in this world, son."

A voice came from behind and I turned to look at it.

"Who are you?"

I was quite surprised to see him, his form resembles a human being just his head like a bat with two horns like a devil and a wing and tail.

"You can call me Phobetor. You are now in a dream world."

"Dreams?"

"Yes, rather a nightmare, because this is one of my abilities."

So it's no wonder why my system can't come up, if this dream world means I'm asleep right now.

"I didn't expect to be able to sleep well, to the point of dreaming anyway."

Lately every time I fall asleep, besides my sleep time is reduced but also I never dreamed at that time.

"So what are you, monster? A devil? Or are you one of 'They'?"

Wush...!

Unknowingly my black energy came out just like that and it meant that I could still fight using my Heredis power without the help of a system.

Phobetor looked wide open and after that his face returned to calm with a smile.

"Just this time there's someone threatening me in my own world." Phobetor walked towards the front and approached me. "You don't worry, son. I have no evil intentions whatsoever on you, I am only doing my duty on orders from ■■■■■."

Hearing that censored name proves that he is a guard too, meaning this part of the system's created world.

"That's it, now I understand. Then what kind of test should I pass, I hope this time the test makes it easier for me because the previous world I failed to complete."

Hearing that made Phobetor laugh and walk the other way. I followed his steps from behind and he walked towards a giant tree and sat in front of him leisurely.

"Do you know what this forest is?"

"No."

"This forest is commonly called 'Witch Forest'. There used to be a forest like this for witch practices and that time witches were considered very perverse."

That time I also know because there was in history, medieval times occurred in Europe. But the reason this guard told him.

"What was the reason the witches were considered heretical?"

"It's simple, because they made a pact with the devil."

As history says, the witches of the time made many covenants with the devil by asking for human sacrifice.

"Do you know what the witches who were captured and burned regretted about that time?"

I shook my head and Phobetor answered: 'I :

"He is very sorry. He regretted everything before his life was taken, but not only the witches, but everyone who witnessed his death was also very sorry."

"For what reason do citizens regret seeing witches put to death?"

"These intellectuals among them regretted seeing the witch dead, for it was their opinion that they had not made any covenant with ibli, but rather that they had practiced to make various kinds of medicine, which they did, because at that time many diseases hit at that time."

What he said was true, because modern times now that there were many witch findings of ancient times now applied to healing, people who died because of the witch was not because of the actions of the witch, he said, but the illness suffered long enough by the victim and the witch who came late to treat accused that he had sacrificed many people for the devil.

"really pathetic. Then, what does this have to do with my exam?"

Phobetor could only sigh as he held his head, it seemed that he felt a little depressed about the stubbornness of this young man.

"You are stubborn too" he said as he descended from the rock. "Your test is done."

"What! When did I do it?"

"It's not that you've died a few times to change your destiny."

As I was surprised to hear that, I did not expect that all the dreams just turned out to be my test.

"You have succeeded in changing your destiny as you wish, although eventually their destiny will go back on its axis again."

"So the dream just turned out to be a test. Then why was I in Ares' body then? It's supposed to be a third party that can only see it from behind."

"Test this time how you feel his name regret and change it even though it will end badly again..."

It sounds weird, but it really makes me feel miserable. When I became Ares and the memory of myself that is not there now, I had to suffer a thousand times to see all my loved ones die a horrible death, and I (Ares) struggled hard to change it all even just a little bit. But destiny is destiny, all the provisions and provisions there are already every living creature so it can not be contested.

"If destiny cannot be changed, but at least you can know what destiny looks like to lead you and you know it is ready to face it."

His words made perfect sense, seeing what my destiny in the future would look like and I can already imagine what it would be like. My job now is to just get ready to deal with whatever it is.

"There are 10 regrets that are very attached to human beings and they want to change again from the beginning, but in the end all of them are beyond their ability..."

Love, not always that you love and protect it with all your heart, in the end everything will be separated from you from everything. And in the end man will regret not always being by his side or looking after him just because he is doing his job.

Ego, all your selfish actions will eventually meet a deadlock, you are very sorry for always being busy with yourself and finally all the people around you ignore you.

Success, all the wealth and power you have in the end will not last long. You who took pains to gather all the dead matter at the end were scorched away for one small mistake, you are very sorry because why spend the rest of his life just chasing material and in the end all lost inedible time.

Deeds, all your steps that only you know and in the end everyone knows what you really are. You're very sorry and want to turn things around, but what a force everyone can taste all your actions and it will be difficult to be accepted around them again.

The thought, all the pieces of memory that just flashed through had made you change based on the situation. Finally your decision has affected all around you and all your life, people seeing it already think you are crazy because of your strange thoughts. And you regret that you are always fixated on what is on your mind without caring about your surroundings.

Form, as long as the body is still perfect, many humans have ignored that perfection and eventually changed it at will or have an accident that causes them to have a lifetime of disability, but finally the man found his regret for having damaged his body with his own actions and wanted to be returned like the beginning again, but what power even though it has been returned will be much worse when damaging it.

Feelings, every human being has a conscience, but sometimes the conscience that you have to use for good even harms the person you help. This is the greatest regret of man for hesitating about his own feelings and yet ultimately ends up getting worse on himself.

Time, everything has passed and can not be taken away, this is a futile regret of humans because they always expect time to turn back for him in order to start everything from scratch.

Death, this matter need not be explained, all regrets all appeared in his mind when the death scythe had reached his throat and still expected to redeem everything, even though this was very futile in the ear of death.

"You can regret it but don't expect it to come back just because you've regretted it" Phobetor continued.

It is all very attached to humans, even myself very sorry also because of something I hope is not in line with what I hope.

"You said there were ten, then what's the last one?"

Phobetor looked at me carefully and said :

"It's a good step you'll see this first."

"?"

The plaques!

Phobetor snapped his finger and saw us somewhere else.

"This...where is this?"

"Kingdom of Olympus."

Hearing that I was immediately lightest with the ruins in the previous world where the reeds of the Kingdom of Olympus were my first test.

We walked towards a palace on a mountain and saw a strong and dashing man bowing to the king.

"Long live His Majesty, Zeus!"

"Eh?"

Hearing the name surprised me, unlike the mythology that Zeus was a god with handsome old and white hair.

"I think you're surprised because there's nothing in your shadow."

"of course! I thought Zeus was the God of Lightning, but why is it here that there's even a 25-plus-year-old boy."

"That's because the Kingdom of Olympus doesn't believe in the name of a God. Thus, his people preferred to worship and regard all the high men of Olympus and his heroes, as their Gods who protected him from peril."

Hearing that I didn't expect that the facts were like that, I think it's good that I don't need to know the facts because Greek mythology is so popular in games and one of my favorite games related to Greek mythology.

"Hehe." Phobetor laughed and it seemed that he was laughing at me in disappointment to see all this. "Young minds are always so much fun."

"Thank you for the compliment" I said a little upset by it.

We focused on the man again.

"My commander, Ares..."

"Yes, Your Majesty?"

"Because your dedication to the kingdom is so great, I will grant you a territory close to the banks of the river Olympus. I hope you can develop that territory on your own and it will be the next prosperous place for the kingdom."

"Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty."

"Wait a minute, if there's Ares here, then Ares in my dream is it just an illusion from you?"

"No, it was Ares' past before becoming the 'Heredis of Death'."

"It was not that he died at the hands of Har Megiddo and again he also received blessings from him as well."

"Indeed Ares has already received a blessing from him, but it was just bait so that Har Megido could control Ares as he pleased. It was done in order to make Ares as the perfect 'Container' for him. About him dying at the hands of a god he worshipped is true."

"Then how did he survive and become the next heir?"

"That's because 'He' came directly to save her before her soul and body were taken by Har Megido."

I didn't expect "He" to come alone to save Area, even though he was a god with a heavier purpose than his heirs.

"To save Ares is not easy for 'He', because 'He' must defend the world (Earth) so that his 'Law' is impenetrable because there is no next 'Heredis of Death."

"So 'He' has to fight Har Megido while protecting Ares?"

"Yes, 'He' managed to defeat Har Megido and exterminate it completely from its place."

I was just amazed to hear that and could not believe that "He" loved all of humanity.

"Because seeing the strong determination to protect his people, 'He' directly passed down the power of 'Death' to Ares and after that 'He' returned to his place. It took a long time for Ares to understand his own strength, but he was already determined to destroy all of those false Gods."

The plaques!

We moved again and I saw Ares completely annihilating all the god temples. But unlike in the past where he also had to exterminate all his followers, this time he did not because he had realized it as a Heredist in charge of protecting this world and its contents.

"Ngeschimxue..."

Wouss...

Suddenly the wind blew amidst this worry but the shocking thing was seen that was, all the followers of the god suddenly their minds changed as if it was not a god that should be worshipped in his mind.

"Is this hypnosis?"

"You might say so, but this is more about rearranging all the target's memories and memories, and throwing away unnecessary memories. Ares deprives all the existence of their God in his memory, so that no one will ever again make a blood-filled offering to the false God."

My admiration is even greater for Ares, if a great conflict can be resolved in this cold way without fire everywhere.

Ares returned to his territory and from now on he named his city Sparta. He gave the name of this city which was not far from his former kingdom. Ares only always brought 300 troops to destroy the temples of false gods scattered throughout Greece.

"Now we're the end and the sad part."

"Yes." Yeah."

The plaques!

Now we arrived at a different time and now I see a very sad sight as Phobetor said.

"I thought you'd be mad to see it."

Seeing all this who is not angry, even my predecessors see this will be very angry as well. Ares just silently stared at the sight of all the human souls taken by "They".

His gaze showed despair, even though he had entered Heredis mode with Spartan-style equipment.

"Hehe, it turns out that the guards of this place are very lousy."

"Of course he should be, it should be lowly beings like they're afraid to see us."

"Destroying the scene with that stupid expression."

One of them pointed his palm forward and a light appeared forming an arrow.

Shoot it! Phew!

Cracks!

The light shot quickly through Ares' chest, and made the Heredis fall to the ground without any resistance at all, or rather had resigned without any effort.

"Haha!!!"

"They" just laughed seeing Ares helpless who died.

"Damn!!"

"Where are you going?"

"I want to kill all those bastards!"

"Free, this is just an illusion of the past."

"Curtain!"

Phobeter saw this attitude of mine made her even more confident in her heart.

"According to the 'The light of great hope'. I hope you don't end up like this pathetic me."

Not content to laugh at Ares, one of the "They" wanted to mess with Ares who was dying and tried to crush one by one his hands and feet.

Shoot it! Phew! Phew!

"What's..."

Crangs!

But.. suddenly appeared a dimensional crack and managed to dispel all the attacks that led to Ares.

"Basically you bastard! You want to die like this huh!"

"Ma. sorry..."

"If you want to die! At least give up your whole life to be able to defeat all those bastards! You're the worst heir I've ever met!"

"Ma. sorry..."

A foreign and beautiful woman with long dark brown hair, scolded the helpless Ares.

"Who is that woman?"

"He is the "Heredis of Gaia'."

"What, a Heredist too!"

Surprised to hear that fact, it was unexpected that there was another Heredist siding with my predecessor.

"Yes, he is also a Heredist. As long as you know, 'Heredis of Gaia' and 'Heredis of Death', their power comes from the same person who is 'He'. The Heredists of 'He' were known as 'Guardians of Gaia'. Unlike the 'Heredis of Death' who had multiple heirs, while the 'Heredis of Gaia' was still the second heir and that woman who until now had overseen every one of your predecessors."

"So right, instead of when Ares was in danger when 'She' protected him, this 'Heredis of Gaia' should have come to protect 'He'. Why is it that such a precarious moment he didn't show up?"

"That's because he has to keep doing his job."

"Tasks?"

"Yes, because there are three provisions of the 'Law' created by 'He' and given by the Heredists..."

Phobetor says there is a "Law" already held by each role :

"The "law of creation", the law held by "He" is now to defend the existence of the world (earth) and its contents.

"Law of reality", the law held by the "Heredis of Gaia", the ability of this law to maintain a maze dimension that lies outside the dimension of reality. He becomes the primary guardian to prevent "They" from entering the dimension of reality and confronting "They" all its eternal dimensions.

"Life law", this law is there to maintain the existence of life energy in the dimension of reality, which is now held by the "Heredis of Death". But alas, not all of these heirs could use this "Law" ability due to the lack of preparation and understanding due to "They" come sooner than expected so the heirs of death must quickly meet their end. This ability of the law can control every life energy that exists and drag them all wherever the Heredist wants them to go.

"Hear that it's like..."

"...Can't believe it."

"Yes, so my journey is still long to face 'They' all."

"You don't worry, everything has been carefully prepared and soon you will surpass all your predecessors."

Hearing that I was very happy, it turned out that all my predecessors were paying attention to small things for the sake of all future successors, so that the next heir would no longer have to die in vain on his hard struggle.

"The woman..."

"I don't think he should step in to help his friend. Means out there should be others able to get in easily. Because it's not easy to face this j*l*ng."

"Heredis of Gaia" was so upset to see all this that his comrades-in-arms had to end up like this.

"Ares! Use 'that' quickly so I can get rid of all these bastards!"

Ares was still silent in his helplessness.

"Do you want to waste 'She's' effort, huh?"

Hearing that Ares was wide-eyed, because he remembered that time he had met his end but the help of "He" who had to sacrifice a little energy of his life agad Ares could live again.

"Ma. sorry..."

"If you want to apologize, oh-"

Suddenly the woman's words stopped as Ares got up with the rest of his strength.

"I'm sorry to bother you. Now you come back, here let me take care of everything."

The woman just silently looked at Ares who was starting to reach her limit.

"Okay, please don't waste all the struggle."

"Good."

Crangs!

The woman brought up a dimensional crack and returned to her origin.

"Heh~, seeing you dying so turns out to be tough too."

"Do we have to play him again?"

"Can."

Ares heard that he could only smile, he almost laughed that his truly stupid self had squandered all this fate.

"Lomecam..."

Dur...!

"What's going on?"

After Ares muttered this whole place and space was shaken.

Crangs!

Suddenly the sky split as if the sky was about to collapse it.

"That's it. not outside!"

"They" were surprised to see this and could not believe that this dying man still had this much power.

"I hope you all enjoy these rains..now!"

Bing!

Phew! Phew! Phew!

"Damn it!!!"

For a moment the sky split, revealing a dark space and illuminated by stars. But all the light of the stars was allotted and befell "They".

"not enough... Norber!"

Something black appeared from Ares's feet and revealed a giant dog with three heads.

"Hoarrrgh...!!!"

The three dog heads immediately shot out a giant magic ball and attacked "They".

"Hold that attack!"

"No chance!"

The bomb!!!

Before one of them removed the barrier to prevent the star rain attack, but Ares' partner's attack was much faster and successful on all of his enemies.

"Did it work?"

Wush...!!!

Instantly a great energy was emanated simultaneously from "They".

"Bas on a lowly creature!"

Ares saw it just chuckling and said :

"I think it's time for me, thank you guys." While rubbing the head of his partner.

"Guk!!!"

"Yes." Yeah."

Ares looked at "They" with a sharp look and muttered :

"Pascimmu..."

Bing!!!

Instantly the light filled this dimensional space and we suddenly returned to the "Witch forest" again.

"When I've seen my predecessors fight 'They', it's always surprising to see again."

"That's right, there will be times when you will be like them. So, don't waste everything you've been given."

"Yes, I'll remember. But. You haven't answered my question just now."

Phobetor seems to have forgotten to tell me the last regrets of mankind.

"Sorry, I almost forgot. The last regret of man is his destiny. Regretting a destiny is the same as experiencing despair in your life, regretting destiny is useless because everything has been set so you as a living being can only accept it."

What is said is very true, everything must have its provisions and cannot be contested. But whose destiny controls it? Even the "They" and the "He" who is called a god cannot violate each other's destiny. So there is no creation in the world can not be separated from the name of the destiny record.

"Thank you for everything, really, it's a nice nightmare I've had."

"Hehe, just this time I saw a human being enjoying his nightmare. But indeed nightmares always show ugliness, but do not escape all the meanings hidden in it want it good or not. All right, it's time you woke up, because your sisters kept calling you from earlier."

"That's it, then thank you again for everything."

"Yes, remember, never regret anything that has passed. But regret it if you are not able to face all that is before you."

The plaques!

I just nodded and Phobetor snapped his finger and took me to the world I really was.

Not always darkness must have a bad impact, sometimes darkness is always good and hides everything that should not be known to anyone, because ignorance is something to be proud of. Because that's how the darkness is always full of mystery.
