Hope shook her hand. "So weak? No way? No way?"

Despair God Antihope was filled with shock and rage. He could sense that the immense power contained in that punch was not magic, but a strange power that transcended magic.

“Impossible…you’re just a human…” Antihope covered his face, his voice wavering.

"That's right, I'm just a human."

Hope smiled broadly, “But sometimes, humans can do things that even gods can’t.”

"Hmph! Mere humans! I am Antihope, the God of Despair!"

The black and white magic went berserk.

In an instant, the deepest fears, sorrows, and feelings of helplessness in the hearts of all living beings within a radius of several miles centered on the Tower of Despair were amplified.

Antihope raised his hand, his five fingers loosely clenched, and extracted the negative emotions that were growing in the hearts of everyone present, condensing them in his palm into a long spear wrapped in black light.

Before the spear even moved, the space in front of its tip cracked open with spiderweb-like black patterns. That was Antihope's absolute power; anything it touched would be utterly annihilated.

Hope looked at the spear with disdain. "So that's how it is. In the end, the so-called gods still use magic. You are nothing more than slightly more powerful magical creatures."

"What a damn disappointment!"

Hope was utterly disappointed and unwilling to continue playing along with this damned god. His body erupted with blinding blue-white lightning.

The magnetic field is rotating!

In the next instant, Hope was already in front of Antihope. Antihope didn't even see him move; it was like a movie with skipped frames—one frame was far away, and the next he was right in front of her.

Hope unleashed a power of 80,000 horsepower in one move!

Tianwu kills the way and breaks the divine way!

The Divine Path of Severance was created by the "Great White Shark Heavenly Path," one of the four strongest Magnetic Field Masters, to kill gods with his thoughts. It fully releases his domineering and ferocious thoughts, attacks at a speed exceeding the speed of light, and unleashes the strongest killing move with 3000 strikes of equal power, devouring and slaughtering his enemies.

Hope's power level is far too low. Even if he exerts all his strength, he can only unleash a maximum of 50 of his most powerful attacks, but that would be enough to deal with a crippled "god".

When Antihope appeared, he could see nothing but a gigantic phantom shark.

In the first instant, Antihope's spear of despair was shattered by three punches before he could even raise it.

In the second instant, He felt every bone in His limbs break and His internal organs were in excruciating pain.

In the third instant, Hope's five fingers sank into His chest, grasping the "Heart of the Abyss" that beat like a heart, and then... gently tugged.

There was no bleeding, no wounds.

The moment the crystal detached, Antihope's chest automatically regenerated into flesh and blood, as if the ancient crystal had never existed.

Even without unleashing one-twentieth of the true power of the "Path of Divine Severance," Hope completed the fatal blow to Antihope, the God of Despair.

It’s over.

Antihope's face was ashen; as the God of Despair, He was experiencing despair once again.

Just like countless years ago when He was killed by Ankhseram, He could only watch helplessly as the evil god seized another of His powers, and watched "hope" be destroyed...

Having lost its source of power, the ancient will rapidly faded.

The despair-tinged light in Antihope's eyes quickly dimmed, replaced by Hopeless's original dark eyes.

Chapter 194 The Return and the Beginning

"Yo~"

Looking at her own version of herself, who was filled with confusion and weakness, Hope smiled and said, "You're awake? The surgery was a success. You're a girl now."

Still not understanding what was happening, Hopeless's expression changed drastically. He subconsciously reached down to touch his genitals. Although his mind was entirely focused on saving this world riddled with holes, he sometimes fantasized about getting close to a beautiful woman in black stockings.

After all, he was just a pig-headed teenager who was not even twenty years old.

However, with all the bones in his limbs broken, Hopeless could only feel excruciating pain coming from all over his body.

Hearing the prankster's laughter beside him, he looked at the ancient crystal in Hope's hand that was still shimmering with black and white light, and the memories of being possessed by another will immediately surfaced in his mind.

"So... I was just a tool after all..."

Hoplethor's facial expressions collapsed; his smile looked worse than a grimace. He worked tirelessly to save the world, even forcing himself to become the kind of person he despised.

However, despite all their efforts, despair unexpectedly took everything away from them.

What a joke.

Hope tossed the Heart of the Abyss in his hand, looked at his other self with lifeless eyes, and said, "Power gained from external things is ultimately not one's own, especially since there is a malevolent thing living inside this thing."

"I'll help you one last time."

A full moon rose from behind Hope, dispelling the gloomy sky. He gripped the Heart of the Abyss tightly with his five fingers, frantically pouring immense god-destroying magic power into it.

"Moon Goddess Draw!"

A beam of moonlight pierced straight through the heart of the abyss, and then a shrill howl emanated from the ancient crystal as a large face made of despair magic was forcibly separated from it.

That was the hidden will of Antihope, the god of despair.

To completely obliterate the will of a god, the best method is naturally 'god-slaying magic'. Especially since the one before us is a despairing god who has long since lost all hope and authority.

Antihope is now completely at Hope's mercy.

"No! You can't kill me!"

Sensing Hope's murderous intent, the God of Despair was already terrified by the despair Hope had brought him earlier. He was no longer the spirited man he had been when he first appeared, and he even started begging for mercy.

Hope sneered, "You ignorant fool, go talk to my 'Moon Godslayer'!"

"Full Moon Beam!"

Under the powerful impact of the silvery-white light waves, Antihope's last remaining will completely collapsed, and the despairing god who had lost "hope" perished completely.

Without the will of the gods, the Heart of the Abyss is now ownerless, with pitch-black energy of despair and pure-white energy of hope swirling within the crystal like two swimming fish.

Hope looked at Hopeless, gripped his chest tightly with her fingers, and lifted him high up.

Just when Hopleth thought he was about to be obliterated like the god who had possessed him, a strange, never-before-seen force enveloped him.

50,000 horsepower of power – cellular recombination!

Instantly, Hopeless felt power flowing through his limbs and bones, and his injuries were completely healed in the blink of an eye.

Hope released his grip, and Hopeless landed, staggering back a few steps, looking incredulously at the boy opposite him who looked exactly like him.

Why...?

His response was a familiar crystal that had been thrown at him.

Instinctively catching the Heart of the Abyss, Hope looked at Hope with even more confusion.

Hope, hands in his pockets, turned to look at the capital city bathed in sunlight once more. "Didn't you want to save the world? I stripped away the will of the God of Despair; now it's clean."

"The hope of this world still depends on yourselves."

After saying that, without waiting for Hope's reaction, Hope jumped down to find his companions.

The wind blew across the half-broken Tower of Despair, carrying cheers from afar. Hopleth sat on a broken step, looking down at the capital city where the war was gradually subsiding, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

"Seriously, what's with the show-off..."

-

-

One day later, outside the capital of Edolas.

Almost all the residents of the royal capital gathered here to hold a grand farewell ceremony for the heroes of another world who had saved them from the rule of the Despairing Emperor.

Faust's dynasty was restored because she was deeply loved by the people due to her past "magic plundering plan." In fact, there was no one else in the entire human kingdom who could quickly stabilize the country.

Even Prince Mystgang is not an option.

However, Faust no longer dares to continue implementing his crazy plans, and his once iron-fisted rule must become more lenient.

Because Faust knew that no matter where he was, the emperor, who possessed the power of "despair" and "hope," and his apologetic son, would always be watching him.

"I really hate to part with you."

Lucy No. 2, holding Lucy's hand, looked at Makarov with reluctance, "Chairman Makarov, why don't you stay a few more days?"

“I would like to go back too, but if we don’t hurry back, things might get messy on our side.” Makarov looked at Lucy No. 2. Although they had only spent a short time together, he had already accepted the young chairman.

Don't worry, we'll meet again if we have the chance.

Hope suddenly chimed in, "Didn't that guy already set off to repair the edge of the world, to repair the barrier of your world? He left without even saying goodbye, how heartless!"

Makarov shook his head, looked at the final "Anima" before the barrier of this world was repaired, and then looked at the children saying goodbye to each other.

"Everyone, it's time for us to go home."

The people of Aslant reluctantly walked into the light of the activated 'Anima'. Mirajane and Elfman forced smiles and waved goodbye to their sister in this world.

Hope simply watched this scene silently, without revealing Lisanna's true identity, because he had already heard the choices of the other two people.

Mirajane of Edolas handed a package to her younger sister, and seeing her bewildered expression, smiled and said, "Lisanna, go quickly, go back to your real sister and brother."

"No...no, I..."

Lisanna's flustered explanation was interrupted by Elfman of this world, who pressed her head down with tears in his eyes, "We knew all along but didn't say anything, I'm sorry."

“You are as gentle and considerate as our deceased Lisanna, so we cannot let your true loved ones continue to grieve.”

Seeing her older sister and brother who already knew her true identity, Lisanna burst into tears and hugged them. Under their relieved gazes, she took advantage of the last bit of time before the 'Anima' teleportation was activated and rushed into the arms of Mirajane and Elfman in Aslant.

A radiant light shot into the sky.

On a distant mountain peak, Hopeless, dressed in a white robe, watched the brilliance of 'Anima' fade away, then shouldered his pack and embarked on his journey to save the world.

After despair, he is determined to bring hope back to the world.

"See you again someday."

"Another me."
