Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 841: Terror made manifest, The God of Decay. Part-3.

Hearing those words, Allen could feel his entire world view breaking down, and cracks appeared in his usually solid confidence.

"This... this is impossible! You are deceiving me! I refuse to believe the words of an evil creature like you!"

At Allen’s outburst, the ’God of Decay’ only laughed in amusement as if it was enjoying watching this show of despair.

[Ahhh~ this sweet scent of newly born feeling of despair, I have always wanted to see it happen to a pure being like you.]

[It’s always amusing to see how puny creatures like you never seem to agree with the fact that all things are meant to decay sooner or later... be it gods, the universe, or the laws of existence...]

[This is the fundamental cycle of existence... If something is created, it can be destroyed; if something is born, it can die; if something has a beginning, then it will always have an end.]

[It is as simple as that.]

Hearing those words, Allen felt his lifelong belief shatter bit by bit.

For his entire life, he had always been chasing the dream of one day destroying the sea of miasma and saving the world from destruction.

But the words of the ’God of Decay’ seemed to trample on his entire reason for existence.

If considering everything from the perspective of the ’God of Decay,’ it was actually Allen who was opposing the fundamental rules of existence by trying to preserve the existence of this universe.

Just like the God of Decay said, if the universe had a beginning, it was bound to have an end.

This was the basic rule of existence, and the purpose of the sea of miasma was just to put an end to this universe; there was nothing wrong with it.

Just like an ordinary mortal would go through the various phases of life from birth to death, the universe and everything else were the same.

By creating Allen, the universe and the heavenly will were actually resisting this natural process of life and death.

From this perspective, the sea of miasma was the one that followed the natural order of nature, while Allen was the one on the wrong boat from the very beginning!

"H-how can this be... this... this doesn’t make any sense!"

Allen’s legs gave out as he fell on his knees and collapsed on the ground.

His dreams, his lifelong goals, and all the achievements of his life became empty and meaningless in an instant.

If not for the fact that his ’Path’ as a ’Chosen One’ was connected to the ’Heavenly Will’ and was indestructible in nature, Allen’s ’Path’ would have shattered in that very instant

and he would have become a broken empty shell of his former self with no goals or dreams left in life anymore!

[Hahahaha~ I really love this moment when the greatest and most noble people fall down on their knees and collapse~]

Bela, who was watching everything happen with her own eyes, could not help but shudder in fear and horror as she realized the terrifying power of this so-called ’God of Decay.’

With just a few words, the other party completely destroyed Allen’s faith in his own ’Path,’ made him lose his intent to fight, and literally decayed his mind into self-questioning.

The will of heaven lost its ability to help Allen in the presence of this powerful creature, and the world started to decay and lost its ability to protect its chosen one from the horrific influence of this evil deity!

’This is just a mere avatar... just a small glimpse of what lies inside the heart of the sea of miasma, and yet, even this mere glimpse is enough to shatter all reasoning and all powers...’

’No wonder heavenly will and the world had to come together and combine the destiny of all the creatures in the universe together just to merely stand a chance against this powerful being...’

’It all makes sense now...’

Originally, Bela used to think that creating someone as powerful as Allen was a complete overkill.

Allen was not only blessed by immense luck and favor; he was supported by almost all laws of the universe, granting him immense power and success.

She used to think that with this much power, Allen would eventually be able to easily destroy the sea of miasma and save the universe.

But only today did she realize that no matter how powerful Allen was, it was still not enough.

The favor of the entire universe, the support of all the laws of the universe, the luck and destiny of all creatures of the universe—all superimposed, and yet it was still not enough!

Just a mere few words, and all the preparations were destroyed in just a few seconds!

This was the horror of the true master of the Sea of Miasma!

In terms of power, it was now clear that the ’Law of Miasma and Corruption’ was way above every other law of the universe combined!

’No, I can’t let this happen... I must not let Allen collapse here and falter before even reaching the end goal!’

’Whether he will win or lose should be decided in the final confrontation against the sea of miasma. That moment is not now!’

’I must not let him falter here!’

As the favoured of the ’world,’ Bela knew that if Allen faltered here and lost his ’Path’, it would mean the end of her and the everything in the world.

All the dreams and promises they had in their heart would be shattered in an instant, and everything would be lost.

’Even if what the God of Decay said is true, even if it means that we are the villains and are opposing the fundamental rules of existence, even if what we are trying to do is selfish...’

’I will not let Allen falter here!’

[Ding! To save the future of the world and to bring the ’Chosen One’ back to their correct ’Path,’ you have chosen to follow your own will!]

[Ding! The ’world’ and the ’Law’ of ’Love, cure, and protection’ have noticed your ideals and have decided to grant their power to you!]

Feeling immense power surging in her body and her ’Path’ becoming even more clear than before, Astra’s eyes brightened as an aura of holiness radiated from her body.

The darkness that was starting to surround Allen and corrupt his weakened body receded at an alarming speed.

[Hoh? Do you even know what you are doing? You are burning and sacrificing a part of your own soul to mend the ’Path’ of someone else...]

[This will not bode well for you...]

Hearing those words filled with mockery, a look of firm determination appeared on Bela’s face.

"Even if it means sacrificing my existence, I will not let the ’Hope’ of this universe falter here!"

"Get up Allen, falling on your knees in shame like that doesn’t suit a ’Hero’ like you!"

"Even if you have to go against the fundamental rules of existence, you must not show cowardness like that! The entire universe is looking up to you!"

"O Hero of Prophecy! Stand Up! Stand up and confront the darkness like you are supposed to be!"
