This Eroge Won't Make Me Fall!

Chapter 405 397: STRONGEST (1)

I lay dying in a field of nothingness.

This place that I had previously visited when empty was one I thought represented my soul. I thought that this was the place that said there's nothing in my way anymore.

But all along it was just the spot I was to go to when I died.

I guess I died when I faced Dantalian, and I died again when I turned into a demon lord.

It made sense, losing your entire mind and your entire body was dying after all.

Was I… A fool?

How was anyone supposed to defeat something like that? I thought that I was close by to the strongest now, but still…

But still…

I was just a weakling. I thought it would be possible to win if I gathered all the worlds.

What I couldn't do alone could be done 'together.'

What a fool. What a fucking fool.

Maybe I would have survived if I didn't think about anyone dying. Maybe if I just let Luka be, I would have been alive.

Thinking others were not a weakness, was just stupid.

All I had were just words.

My eyes shut close as a tear spilled out.

"I never was strong. Just fucking words. All fucking along."

Regret?

I regret it now. I regret getting close to anyone now.

I was the one dying, but what about Lethe? And the rest? What was the point of trying to save Luka for now and then dying, and losing any chance of saving anyone down the line?

Charlotte was already on a unifying mission.

If I never thought to gather the East under a banner, if I never went up to Heaven and gathered the gods. I would have never ended up with the Dimensional Marker or on Earth.

When I had the chance.

"I should have learned from Kai instead of playing the hero—"

"Now THAT would have been stupid. Why would you learn from a weakling?"

A strange familiar voice pulled me away from my thoughts.

I opened my eyes in the nothingness again and looked up.

There stood a man with a very air.

"You…"

"I told you right? I may come help you someday?"

My eyes trembled and my heart shook.

A sharp breath left me.

"You are… how…?"

A man with a mellow smile, deep purple eyes, white hair reaching his shoulders, and two small horns on his head.

That man slowly crouched down next to me and placed a hand on my head.

"You must be in pain."

ραΠdαsΝοvεl ?οm "How are you here…"

He slowly ran his hand over my eyes, closing them shut.

"You've done enough, Eugene Hall. Let's talk about the rest later."

Only footsteps followed his words.

Amidst the destruction of the floating island, a dead man's hands twitched.

Charlotte, whose spell was almost ready, froze in her tracks.

"A…live?"

That mutter left her and the ones sticking close to her to hold the clones off all turned their gaze along with her.

A person that was supposed to be dead after being stabbed and exploded from the inside.

A person who took on blows enough to destroy entire countries on his body alone.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

That person's fingers twitched.

"W-what…?"

A mutter left someone.

But no one looked for the identity of the voice, since all of them had the same thoughts in their muddled heads.

A crack resounded as the man stretched his wrists, then, at once, he sat up and looked down at himself.

"Woah… he sure got… totaled." A scoff left Eugene's lips as he slowly stood up like an old man relaxing on a summer day.

Charlotte was unable to process an inch of what was happening, but she didn't need to think long.

Eugene's eyes turned soft as he looked at the few dead ones around him and gave a wry smile.

"I apologize," he said.

She blinked.

And in the next moment, all the bodies were gone.

Eugene licked his lips as the wounds all over him started to wriggle and seal shut.

"What the fuck?" A curse left Charlotte almost instinctively, but Eugene did not as much as bother to look her way.

The incessant laugh of the Outer God from above slowly started to disappear as it too noticed the anomaly in front of them.

Ignoring it all, Eugene looked down at the ones still alive and snapped his fingers. Potions appeared all over the sky and dripped on their wounds on their own.

Slowly, very slowly, Eugene placed a hand on the slightly dazed Albert's shoulder and whispered something into his ears.

And then, he turned to the skies.

"w??????????????????????h???????????????????????????????????_y???????????????? n?????????????????_??????????_?????o??????t?????????????????????????????????????????? d????e???????????????a?????????d????????!??????????????????????????????????????????????!???????????????????????????_???????_???"

A chill ran down everyone's spines as the Outer God's voice screeched out, but he only ignored it and casually walked over to Charlotte.

The others didn't move. No, they were unable to.

Just like the Outer God itself, he was emitting an overbearing presence, a presence so serene and feeble that even the ones subjected to it failed to notice it.

"Save your strength," he said.

Charlotte lost her bearings on her spell at that moment.

"Remember, mother," Eugene's cryptic words didn't end there. "Keys, not the prison. Keys."

"What? What does that mean—"

Charlotte couldn't say anything back to Eugene. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

This time, he appeared right next to Han Jun Ho.

The spearman and the humanoid clone were both stopped in their tracks as Eugene intervened in their fight.

He gave a sidelong glance to the man behind him, who could only watch the monstrosity take place with trembling eyes, then gripped his finger against his thumb.

One flick.

Just one flick.

As if the gods of the world had decided to destroy it from within, a shockwave that completely crushed the air and the ground on his path ran ahead.

The floating island tilted to the sides, clouds split apart and rain fell on their ends.

The clone… disappeared into dust.

Everything ceased, everything stopped.

All of them, clones and humans alike stopped and watched.

"Not bad…" Eugene hummed. "It's been forever… and I've been itching for a fight."

His gaze turned toward the Outer God sitting smugly in the rupture.

The Outer God's eyes trembled. A scream spread through its lips.

All the clones jumped through the skies and merged with the Outer God while Eugene crossed his arms and watched it happen.

There were two ways to kill the Outer God of Invasion.

With numbers so large that you easily killed all its clones.

Or by simply being so strong, that the Outer God could not defeat you even when it was clumped together

[A/N: There have been tons of hints about what is happening. There's a lot more to say about that but that comes later. So for now I'll just leave a last hint, and that is. The name of the story is officially changing to 'World's Strongest Became the Game's Weakest Villain' There is still time so if you think that's one stupid name, please please call me out on it.]
