"I'm here," said James as he stepped out of the shadows, carrying two Uzi rifles with fully-loaded ammunition in their casings.

"Time really can change a person. Look at the coward who attacks secretly - it seems the Allfather Odin has been proven right," said Gerald.

"If you know who I am, it means you've been living as a gangster for long enough. But it's time for you to leave this meaningless life behind," said James as he raised the Uzis and pulled the trigger.

The sky decorated with the full moon radiated a brilliant light, witnessing the barrage of bullet casings fired by James. His almost silent voice was muffled by a silencer mounted on the muzzle end of an Uzi gun. The series of rifle bullets disappeared in an instant, but Gerald still stood firm and unmoved without the slightest wound.

James was stunned to see that as if he were dreaming of seeing a human who couldn't be shot by a firearm.

"Now it's my turn," said Gerald in one jump, already in front of James. He delivered a full-powered punch aimed squarely at the solar plexus.

Right before the punch landed on James' body, he managed to block it by crossing his arms. Even so, the force of the punch sent James flying a few meters back until his back hit a metal container. 

“BRAK!” The loud sound echoed throughout the area as the impact between James' body and the container reverberated. James tried his best to remain standing despite having to bend over from the pain, fresh blood pouring from his mouth due to the hard impact. He mustered up all his strength to support his body and noticed that his left arm had blackened from blocking Gerald's attack. It was clear that, although the bone hadn't broken, it had still been cracked by the force of the punch.

"Great...so great," James said in awe. "You're the first person alive and able to stand up after receiving my attack. It's not wrong that you used to occupy the top of the underworld and earned the title of the strongest fighter. But now is a very different era, James. The strength you are proud of no longer has any meaning. Now look at my true strength. With the power of this aura, you don't need firearms or any sneaky tricks, and everything will submit under you."

Gerald then concentrated his aura on his right hand and continued his words. "Now is the time for you to accept your death, Allfather! Your heyday is over!"

Gerald lunged again with incredible speed, directing his fist towards James' chest. But James, who had been on the lookout, could clearly read Gerald's movements, so he quickly reacted with an unexpected counterattack.

Gerald's extraordinary speed was both an advantage and a disadvantage. Due to his incredible speed, he couldn't possibly stop his body's movements instantly. So James used this to his advantage, tripping Gerald's feet and sending him flying several meters.

"Bastard!" said Gerald, grinning. He had never expected that an ordinary human would be able to match his movements that had been strengthened by aura.

On the other side, James was completely unable to keep up with all aspects of Gerald's physical abilities, which had gone far beyond human common sense. So James concluded that the only thing that could hurt such an opponent was himself.

He tightened his resolve and launched his attack. Now the man with long shoulder-length hair and a stocky body was attacking even crazier. What James saw at this time really broke his common sense. With his own eyes, he witnessed the blue aura emitted by Gerald slowly transforming into ten swords that flew around his back.

"Okay! Let's start this fun," said Gerald.

In an instant, the swords flying on Gerald's back shot out. James tried desperately to dodge them, but the swords were too fast. Unavoidably, the aura blades sliced and pierced his body, and his blood began to flow like melting ice in the summer.

Realizing he was in a dangerous position, James tried to escape from Gerald, searching for loopholes and opportunities to finish him off. But no matter what he tried, the extreme difference in strength was too great for him to overcome, even with his genius brain. His body was torn apart as he ran to and fro, taking cover among the goods containers.

"Looks like it's time for me to end this," said Gerald. "I thank you, O King, for losing me to the city. You have relieved my boredom."

Gerald changed the shape of his aura sword into a stake. It was simpler and smaller, but there were many more of them. He strafed in all directions, leaving James with nowhere to hide.

Even with his brilliant brain, James still couldn't find a way to beat or outsmart Gerald. For the first time in his life, he felt tremendous pressure because he couldn't find the slightest chance to win. James continued to be under pressure without being able to provide any counterattack.

The situation continued to drag on until it forced James out of his hiding place. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, Gerald immediately launched a final attack in the form of an aura in the form of a large sword. In a fraction of a second, the aura blade stabbed into James' chest, piercing backward until it made a hole in his body.

James lay sprawled in a pool of blood, collapsing in front of Gerald.

“Aarrghh!” groaned James, who apparently wasn't dead even though his chest had a gaping hole. His anger kept him alive, his thirst for revenge making him reject death. With all the will of his soul, James was still trying to get up to be able to avenge himself.

In a state of life and death, conscious and unconscious, James heard a voice whispering harshly, pushing into his ears. Awakening his thinning self-awareness, it made James realize again that he could not die until his revenge was avenged.

"I hear the screams of your anger, child, as beautiful as the whimpering of a sheep that has lost its mother. Therefore, I will lend you my strength," said the mysterious voice to James in a very heavy tone. James couldn't make out the shape of the figure; it was all black and dark. But from the echo of its voice, James could tell that the one speaking to him was not human but an entity of a size far beyond that of a human.

"Who are you, and where am I?" shouted James.

"One day, we shall meet," the figure replied. "But for now, if you want to live and avenge yourself, you must swallow the fire that lies before you."

Then, a black flame appeared and was accompanied by a change in the dark room to a completely white. Without any hesitation, James grabbed the flame and swallowed it all.

    The air started to heat up as James slowly got up. His condition was strange; his eyes were white, and the wounds all over his body slowly recovered and completely healed, as if they had never been there. Then he groaned and released an enormous red-black aura that reached the sky. The aura emitted by James was so great that it overflowed in all directions like a tsunami hitting the mainland.So strong was James' aura that it shook the ground around him, spreading fear and horror to every creature. Even if the living thing had extremely dull instincts, it would still feel the overwhelming pressure of domination from James.Gerald felt the hairs on his neck stand on end, his sweat pouring profusely, and his whole body trembling violently. Never in his life had he felt such fear that it swallowed him up.Realizing the horror that was in front of him, Gerald, who had thought he had the upper hand, tried to escape as far as possible while James was still groaning loudly and emitting immea

    The master, already infuriated, released his aura massively in the shape of a giant iron-armored knight carrying a shield and a sword. The old man's body became the centerpiece of the knight, standing firmly against his chest as if it were the control room of a giant robot. He immediately launched an attack on the masked man.The giant knight's sword blast swept through the area around it, almost even hitting James, who was still bound by the aura chain. But the attack seemed to mean nothing to the masked man. He restrained it using only one big green-black hand formed from his aura."It will definitely be very tiring if I have to fight against you, old man, so I think today is enough," said the masked man, directing his gaze to James, who was still raging and being bound by his aura chain.As if having an epiphany, the masked man continued his words, “Aha!

    "How are you, James?" asked Scarlet."Scarlet? What are you doing here? Arrrgh..." replied James, cradling his head."Lay down, James, and relax. I know you have millions of questions, but we have enough time to answer them all," said Scarlet, introducing the old man beside her."Before you start asking, let me introduce my master. The person who has always guided me: Arthur Wiseman, teacher and owner of the holding company where we work," she said, smiling.Hearing this, James was, of course, surprised. He tried to tidy up the patient's clothes he was wearing, but instead, he looked uncomfortable. His behavior was exactly like that of a child who had been caught doing mischief by his parents.For Arthur, maybe James and Scarlet looked like children because he was almost fifty-eight years old. But even so, his physique still looked very fit and toned. Even though his hair was covered in white due to aging, it didn't take away from his charisma, with his hair slicked back. His bright b

    Seeing the pendant, his chest tightened again. How could he not? He knew very well that the pendant was a hereditary pendant belonging to the Seremion family, which James had given to Elizabeth, his lover who had been killed a few days ago. "Yes, sir, I know very well about the pendant, because it belongs to my family. If I may ask, what's wrong with it?" James asked, filled with emotion. Arthur then took a chair to be able to sit beside James. "The blue stone that decorates the pendant is the Fragment of Sephiroth Tree Artifact, James. Now it's clear why you can occupy the top of the gangster throne, it's because of your ability to fight that's far above normal humans," he said with a deep sigh and paused for a moment. "You must be from the descendants of Harald Hardrada from the Viking nation. It is said that because of the many lives and blood he shed, his descendants are cursed to have the appearance of a vampire, and that appearance is very attached to you," said Arthur, conti

    Attack after attack kept coming towards James, while he was thinking and looking for gaps to attack George. Then it occurred to James to cover the entire battle area with dust on the ground to create a trick.James, without thinking, released his aura in all directions, making the whole field dusty and limiting George's view. Seizing the opportunity, James focused his aura into his right palm.He realized that normal attacks would not work on George, whose body was as hard as a rock. Hence, he decided to use his first skill; he automatically had the understanding to continuously gather his aura in his right hand. Gradually, the aura that had accumulated in James' right hand was transformed into a ball of fire, emitting a bright and hot light similar to the sun, but much smaller in size.The dust that was still soaring in the sky disappeared instantly, thrown away by the beam of power from James' sun-like energy ball."There you are, James. You should have stayed hidden among the flyin

    "Forgive us, Chief," Arthur said regretfully."I'm really sad to see your actions," said the old man. "Don't you realize that you are already more than half a century old? You still act like a child." It was Kenrich Blindr, the chairman and founder of the Shadow Corps, his voice strong enough to bring anyone to their knees. He may not be widely known among the general public due to his lack of official, political, or business ties, but his age was certainly remarkable.Among aura users around the world, he is one of the strongest and his name is known even by aura users in the remotest corners of the country. His activities in the realm of aura users have been far-reaching and, due to his longevity, a nickname has been attached to him: the Eternal Magician. This nickname is of course due to his long age and extraordinary abilities.It was said that Kenrich, so old yet still able to face a hundred high-class aura users alone. His strength was not just a figment; it was said that if he

Now Scarlet no longer had two tasks, and had returned to her original task, namely, as one of the Shadow Corps troops and not an office worker.The seconds turned into minutes, and minutes into hours. It was late at night, and James couldn't sleep either. His mind wandered aimlessly, mulling over all of the events that had occurred in the past few days.The death of her lover and the baby she was carrying a few days ago was the hardest blow for her. He never could have imagined that the one he had loved so deeply, the one who could have completed his life, had gone ahead of him.I can still imagine Elizabeth's beautiful smile when the night brings loneliness. Imperceptibly in the silence, James sobbed once more. His sadness was completely erased, even with a series of event

    The dead man suddenly woke up in an all-white room. James, who didn't realize that he had annihilated an entire dimension, thought he was in the same dimension where he was about to swallow the power of eternal fire.James looked right and left, "Come out Surtr, the same game won't work for me," he said.Not long after, a huge sound echoed throughout the room as the place transformed into a space landscape filled with galaxies and stars."Where do you think you are James? This is not Surtr's dimension," said the voice.Soon the figure behind the voice also appeared, which turned out not to be Surtr. His form was much different from the Fire Giant King. He, who had not yet introduced himself, revealed a form that was so majestic. His wings numbered hundreds of pieces, stretched from end to end, white robes full of light, and had such a large embodiment. The power he exuded was unquestionable, so great was the power emanating from him that it far surpassed even the evolved Chairman Kenr

I don't know what he is feeling right now, but there are various things that are filling his head due to the great disaster caused by Chairman Kenrich, the first master and one of the people he used to trust the most.The death of millions of people around the world is a heartbreaking thing. There were children who lost their parents, parents who lost their children, siblings who lost their siblings, and lovers who were separated from their soulmates.The ongoing disasters and chaos around the world have also worsened the chances of survivors.

    Those who were struck by the black-colored spears did not just die, their bodies would be left alive for a while until they finally died from the fire until they were scorched to dust. The human population, which was originally no less than seven billion in less than a minute, was drastically reduced to only seventy million.Ninety-nine percent of the human population was wiped out in an instant by the attack launched by Chairman Kenrich. His title as the strongest entity was not just a title, he carried out the massive attack that almost wiped out the entire human population as if it was nothing to him. His breath was as breathless as ever, not even a drop of sweat appeared on him and his state was still the same as it was before he unleashed his great power.Instead of being afraid, James was furious because of this. To him, Chairman Kenrich was not the person who should be passing judgment on humans or demons, especially since none of the gods were affected by the attack."Dammit,

    Just before Chairman Kenrich launched his attack, Samael came crashing in with his full-body materialization technique. The deputy lucifer had predicted that his colleagues' attacks would not succeed in reaching Chairman Kenrich. So he took a step back to activate his abilities.In that instant, it seemed that Samael was not the only one who saw the opportunity to attack Chairman Kenrich. From the opposite direction of his attack, James also came with his full power."Got ya!" said James.The Odin Allfather, who realized he was in a tight spot, used his time control ability. With a single stroke of his gungnir spear, the area around him was slowed down.This power would have been very effective against an ordinary being like Samael, but it would have been completely ineffective against James. He continued to move at the same speed because the power of the eternal flame he used annihilated any influence from outside James' body.TRANG! TRANG! James' sword and Chairman Kenrich's Tomban

    James then sped up, directing his feet towards Scarlet. As quickly as possible and as much as he could, he had to reach the sephiroth tree to destroy all the fragments that were now on Scarlet's chest.With the chaos that existed in that place, James continued to dodge the various attacks that came at him. It was not easy to move amidst the crowd of creatures from other dimensions, who were currently fighting an all-out battle to annihilate each other. But then Brandr suddenly appeared beside James."I know your goal is to get to the sephiroth tree. Let us open the way for you, sir," Brandr said."All right, Brandr, do it! We must immediately prevent this great war from escalating," said James.Brandr then ordered the Fire giants to make a way for James. He who was previously near the sephiroth tree, was pushed back far enough to be hundreds of meters away from the tree.With the fire giants opening the way, the crowd that was blocking the way for James was cleared.

But are you willing for the world to be destroyed by other entities and not by your own hands? I say again, are you willing for this world to be destroyed by entities other than humans?!" Samael said loudly.The speech was then immediately responded to by the devil worshipers with a spirit that was shouted together. Now the human side is no longer divided, all of them are fighting with the same goal, namely to temporarily protect the world. Even though the devil worshipers still want to destroy the world, but they can at least delay it until this war ends.James, who was helped by Samael's words, was finally able to focus on preventing the disaster in that place from expanding. Although not much, but at least the demon worshippers will be able to provide assistance to prevent the great war of Ragnarok from expanding.It was only momen

    After saying that, Chairman Kenrich's body then glowed brightly, dazzling and blinding for a second time. James realized that if he continued to let Chairman Kenrich carry out his plan, it would be even more difficult to stop his former master.Even with his eyes closed, James knew exactly where Chairman Kenrich was. He raised his sword high and gathered his aura."Sword of Judgement," said James as he swung his sword.Wild attacks from various directions came quickly towards Chairman Kenrich who was transforming. The attacks would probably be unavoidable by Chairman Kenrich and would definitely hit him. That would have been the case if there were no other gods to protect his former amster.After Bathara Guru who easily knocked Samael away with a single swing of his trident, it was now the Core God's turn to show his skills.

    The emergence of these two contrasting sides also brought great disaster to the earth. The great forces that clashed with each other created disasters all over the world. Disasters so great came simultaneously that it made the world seem like it was really coming to an end. The scale of the disasters that occurred around the world cannot even be compared to the great disasters told in the holy books.Humans were literally pushed to the limit of killing because of the clash of forces between the gods and demons. Although the clash of forces between the two sides of the opposing entities had only been going on for less than five minutes, the number of people who died because of the disasters it caused had reached millions.The contrast in power between the two opposing entities could be directly felt by everyone in that place. On the side of the gods, the power they emit will definitely bring a feeling of calmness and tranquility.But on the other hand, the power emitted by the demons a

    This is a sight that no human being in the world has ever seen before. The sky, which had only been darkened by the solar eclipse, now began to show its ferocity. Not only where James is standing, the whole world is now suddenly hit by a huge storm that appeared suddenly. In other parts of the world, the sky that originally looked bright was suddenly covered with clouds that rumbled violently as if it wanted to collapse. Not only did the storms accompany the circles that appeared and scattered around the world but disasters began to occur when each of the circles began to show movement simultaneously. Earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, tornadoes and various other disasters occurred simultaneously at the same time when the magic circles in the sky began to spin rapidly. Tens of human beings who uphold their religion thought that the world would end at that moment. They prostrated themselves and gathered in places of worship to ask for forgiveness and plead for their salvation. No ma
