I, without any personality, become a hero!

The God of War longed for defeat, and Altshu hoped to find someone who could defeat him, and now... that person has appeared before him.

"Divine Strike!"

With eighteen wings unfurled and radiating light, Altshu unleashed a full-force counterattack against his destined enemy as a sign of respect. Empowered by the power of the "strongest" divine essence, the God of War's attack was now far more powerful than ever before.

The shattered holy light covered everything, turning planets into nothingness and vanishing instantly. Saitama, who was rushing towards it, was also enveloped in it.

As the fading light dissipated, Saitama himself survived the "God's Strike" that could easily destroy a planet... However...

"Ouch...that hurts!"

Looking at the charred burns on his arms that he had used to defend himself, Saitama smiled. This was the first time he had been injured in battle since he lost all his hair. It was a memory he cherished.

"The God of War... Artesius, huh?"

"Saitama!"

The battle between the two strongest beings, separated by a vast distance in the universe, continues as they gaze at each other.

Stars are constantly being destroyed, and planets that exist almost eternally are being destroyed in the battle between the two. This battle has exceeded the scope of everyone's understanding and contact.

"Saitama... Is this the opponent that Lord Artosh was looking forward to?!"

Above "Avant Heim", even the Skywing girls, who cannot even go to the battlefield, can only use magic spells and astronomical telescopes to roughly observe the battlefield.

In this battle where even the stars were being destroyed and shattered, Azriel was finally able to understand the words of her master, Altshu.

The God of War, "Altsch," desires defeat. If an opponent can defeat him in a direct battle, then all the Skywing race should offer their loyalty and respect to that powerful being.

Rick was also watching the battle with bated breath. With the giant astronomical instrument formed by the machine guns observing, Rick could clearly see Saitama and the God of War "Altsch" fighting each other. This was an ultimate battle that transcended the dimensions of this world.

"Saitama, it's so good to have met you!"

"You're not bad either. I'm very satisfied to have come here and have a match with you."

In the universe, the two strongest beings, whose battle had paused briefly, were in a sorry state. The God of War, "Althos," was in a terrible state. All eighteen of his divine wings had been destroyed, and his left arm, which he had used to block and defend, was broken. If people had known before that the God of War could be injured to such an extent, almost no one would have believed it.

Although Saitama's condition wasn't great either—his arms were charred when he took the "God's Strike," and he was punched in the face and bleeding during his close-quarters combat with Altshu—he was still in much better shape than the God of War.

"It's almost at its limit..."

Clutching his chest, the God of War "Altsch" could feel his very essence groaning in agony. Even though the rules of the world had elevated him to the "strongest," the man before him... Saitama was too strong. His strength had transcended the rules of the world.

"My name is 'Althos,' and I have been the 'strongest' war god, undefeated since the beginning of my life. However... what is the point of a life if one can never experience defeat?"

"Let's settle this with the final blow, Saitama!"

In his final moments, Altshu concentrated all the power within his divine essence into his right fist; naturally, the God of War's final end should be death in battle.

"Althos, I will remember your name."

With an extremely serious expression in his eyes, Saitama concentrated all his strength on his left fist, deciding to let them decide the outcome with one last punch.

"This is my final divine strike, take this!"

"Full Power Series, 'Full Power Strike'!"

In the vast and boundless universe, the collision of two fists instantly manifested a cataclysmic explosion, illuminating the darkness of the cosmos with the light of creation.

Chapter 104 The World of Games (The End)

The battle is over. The God of War has been defeated, just as Artoria wished, defeated by someone stronger in battle. Perhaps this man who could defeat even the "strongest" can only be described as "invincible".

Satisfied—this was a feeling Saitama hadn't experienced in a long time, a feeling he only occasionally had in his dreams, when he encountered an opponent with whom he could fight with all his might.

Artoch... Saitama will always remember the name of this war god, but now it's time to end it.

He grasped the divine essence floating in the universe in his hand. This was the divine essence of the God of War, "Altsch." Logically speaking, after the concept of "the strongest" was defeated, the divine essence of the God of War should have disappeared... However, Altsch did not completely disappear in the end.

Large and small cracks appeared on the essence of the "strongest". Although it seemed broken, it still existed.... Perhaps in this world, the person who defeated the "strongest" war god was an "invincible hero", so the concept of Altshu's existence has not completely disappeared.

They returned to their original positions from the universe. Although the battle between Saitama and the God of War "Altsch" had entered a very deep part of the universe and destroyed the surrounding planets, the fact that their battlefield was far away from the planets prevented innocent people from being affected.

Having controlled the force well, it fell from the depths of space like a meteor back to the planet, landing directly on "Avant Heim". Because the power was well controlled, it did not cause any damage to this fantasy species.

Seeing the Skywing girls closing in on him, Saitama casually tossed the essence of the God of War to a certain idiot.

"Meow meow meow!!"

In a flurry of activity, Azriel caught her master Artesius's divine essence. She dared not be careless at all, as the essence was already covered with cracks. If it were to fall to the ground and shatter... she would truly have no choice but to die as atonement.

"What a long-awaited, satisfying, and exhilarating battle... Jibril, can you take me back?"

"Yes, yes, yes, of course, it's no problem with what you say, Saitama-sama."

The God of War, "Altsch," had already given orders to the Skywing race: the man who defeats him will be the new master of all Skywing races. Having witnessed the battle between Saitama and Altsch, the Skywing race girls accepted the order, for only the strong are worthy of their loyalty.

Using spatial teleportation, Saitama and Jibril returned to the human village settlement. At that moment, Riku ran over to Saitama with a happy expression.

"You're amazing, Mr. Saitama! You..."

Rick, whose emotions defied description, witnessed the battle between Saitama and Artoria through the combined astronomical instruments of the Machine Gundam. It truly could be described as a world-shaking event.

"It's nothing serious, so... what's next?"

The God of War, Arthas, has been defeated, but the "Star Grail," which represents the throne of the only god, has not appeared. Therefore, even if all the gods are defeated, the great war cannot be perfectly ended.

"That is a problem... The Star Cup hasn't appeared yet..."

Rick, also scratching his head, thought something was wrong. Logically, after defeating the strongest god in the world, the Star Grail should have appeared in front of Saitama, but why hadn't it appeared?

“Richard... The Star Grail is an instrument used to determine the ‘One God,’ and only a god can touch it... meaning that... without using other methods, the Star Grail will only appear before the god..."

After hearing Shubi's explanation, Riku roughly understood what was going on. No matter how powerful and invincible a human from Saitama's alternate world was, he was still not a god in this world... and could not materialize the Star Grail.

"What should I do?"

“Ric…”

As Riku bent over at an angle, the machine-type girl whispered something in his ear, and Riku suddenly understood what to do.

"Mr. Saitama, let's play chess!"

"what?"

"However, there will be additional conditions this time."

With a wicked grin on his face, Rick placed the Go board on the ground and addressed Saitama, saying:

"I am willing to stake everything I possess and, with the God of Games as my witness, challenge Mr. Saitama to a game of chess. If I win, then Mr. Saitama, please humbly relinquish the title of 'Strongest' to the God of Games and acknowledge your defeat."

"So that's how it can be done... I agree."

Saitama, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, had been in this world for quite some time. He knew that this place had strange rules, such as the God of War "Altsch" being stronger than everyone else... Some gods also had different ways of winning, and the God of Games' fighting style was naturally just playing games!

The game is a fair competition between two people, so the result of winning is genuine. This world is just like that... a world where powerful gods can be born from the concept of rules.

The outcome of the chess game was obvious: Saitama lost. Compared to his fighting power, which was enough to destroy stars and defeat even the God of War "Altsch," Saitama was terrible at games; even a human little girl could easily beat him.

"I'm going to die!"

Saitama, the king, was cornered with no way out. Even with all his might, he was utterly crushed by Rick in a game of chess. With a sigh of resignation, Saitama announced:

"I lost...you won."

As Saitama finished speaking, the chessboard shone brightly, representing the supreme power of this planet. The Star Cup, symbolizing the "One God," appeared, and at the same time...

A pair of hands, which had been transparent, came into being and held up the Star Cup. Wearing a large checkered hat, with diamond and spade patterns in its colorful eyes, this was a divine boy who was truly born from the concept of a game.

"God of Games, you really do exist."

Rick, beaming with smiles, had been playing chess with a boy whose face he couldn't see since childhood. That boy was none other than the one before him, the God of Games.

"Tetu, my name is Tetu, as you might guess... I am the god of games."

With a smile, he answered Rick. This game god named "Tetu" initially possessed divine essence because of Rick's belief, but a person's belief was too weak... It couldn't even manifest a physical form and could only exist as a ghost beside Rick.

Until Shubi also believed in the existence of the God of Games, because of what Riku said... this machine girl would never doubt that the God of Games, "Tetu," was the weakest god born solely from the will of two people.

He raised the Star Cup and became the "One and Only God" in this world. The next moment, the light of creation and rebirth covered and reshaped this planet.

A clear, azure sky; the earth bursting with life; green flowers and grasses covering the entire planet; extinct animals and plants reappearing on this planet...

The oath of "One God" resounded throughout the world. From this day forward, humanity is officially named the human race, and the sixteen intelligent races will be bound by the Ten Covenants.

The endless war ended peacefully, concluding with a game of chess—this is the story from 6000 years ago.

-----------------

Squatting in the castle of Elchia, the last remaining capital of mankind, Kong took out ancient history books and translated and read them aloud to his younger sister Bai, while Stephanie, the granddaughter of the previous king, stood aside being constantly asked questions by the new king.

"What happened to that human named Saitama in the end?"

"I heard that his companions from another world took him back not long after. He is a hero full of unsolved mysteries, feared and revered by all races."

Stephanie explained what she knew, while Sora and Shiro exchanged somewhat speechless glances. Sora asked, with a headache:

"That man named Saitama... is he really human? As far as I know, no human has the power to destroy a planet with a single punch."

"But according to the last words left by that lord, he was a human being, a hero who did it out of interest."

"I seriously suspect this person came from some comedy comic, it's too outrageous!"

To some extent, I guessed that it was probably empty, and at that moment, my younger sister raised her hand and asked a question.

"Bai wants to know if Rick, that human, ended up marrying Shubi?"

"I'm not too sure about that either. It's said that after the war, Riku was pursued and proposed to by all the Mighty Legion. In the end, he eloped with Shuvi and disappeared without a trace. There's been no record of him since."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Bai snuggled into her brother Kong's arms like a kitten, and said happily:

"Rick and Shubi must have lived happily ever after in the end..."

"Since you say so, then it must be true."

Touching his younger sister Bai's head, as he pondered how to proceed with the next steps of the game, the 6000-year-old feud and grudges began to turn again.

Tens of thousands of mechanical creatures have been activated from their dormancy; they have spotted a target, and the hunters have set their sights on their prey!

Chapter 105 The Worst Enemy

Izuku Midoriya is in trouble, a trouble that he cannot stand idly by but is also difficult to solve. He cannot solve it with force... nor can he resolve it with wisdom... He must make a choice.

On a chessboard, two players are engaged in a game of chess. Black and white pieces stand clearly on the black and white squares. This is a game on the chessboard, but for some people... it is a chessboard where life and death are decided.

Is it really interesting to manipulate humans like pawns?

"Of course it's very interesting. Humans are my favorite toys."

During the conversation between the two players at the chessboard, after Izuku Midoriya moved his white pawn forward one square to restrain his black knight, he called out the name of his opponent:

“Nyarlathotep..…”

----------------

"Helsaremz Roth", a city born from the fusion of human and otherworldly civilizations, is chaotic and rife with crime, yet it still attracts countless people who yearn to come to this city of miracles.

Leonardo Watch, also known as Leo, is a member of the secret society "Libra." After being completely transformed into a Blood Familiar a month ago, he has reintegrated into life in this city.

Blood Realm Families aren't that different from humans, except they're not easy to kill, have long lifespans, and can't see their reflections in mirrors... That's how Leo understood it, and he continued to live there as always.
