Demon Lord’s Reincarnation

“So are you going to come with me quietly to meet our creator the ORIGIN?” The white mass of laws that was called an Old God spoke.

“Heh, even if you are somehow able to capture me do you even know where the ORIGIN was sealed?”

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t know the location of the sealed universe. The malice, the madness that keeps creeping into my very soul is getting stronger meaning the seal that has been placed is weakening. Even though the ORIGIN still hasn’t been fully released, he still has pseudo-omnipresence. I know an area where he has full dominion over even in his sealed state. I just need to offer you up in that location.”

“So that’s how you plan to do things… Well, my answer is obvious.” Ren raised Snertal and pointed it at the Old God.

“As expected.”

The Old God raised his hand and a tree as tall as a mountain suddenly grew in front of Ren’s eyes. The branches of the gigantic tree came raining down on Ren as if the tree had a mind of its own. Ren quickly cut off the branches that came at him but no matter how much he cut down more branches kept on coming.

‘I need to destroy the source.’

Ren appeared at the base of the gigantic tree and using Snertal tried to slice through the tree trunk. It was harder than he thought, multiple laws were protecting the tree trunk, and not only that it even had the stink of divinity on it. The cutting of the tree actually took Ren a few seconds longer than the time he thought he would need, making him open from an attack.

As Ren expected the Old God made a move and tried to use force teleportation on him, but it failed to activate as Ren anticipated it and threw a weapon that disrupts such spells. As Ren finished cutting the tree, a geyser erupted directly below him. Ren was a step too late and could not dodge.

After the geyser blew him upward the water surrounded him and placed him inside some sort of water orb made of divine water. Ren tried to escape the divine water orb but found it difficult to do so, he then gritted his teeth and poured all of his remaining Qi into Snertal.

The sword made of a dragon’s bone and injected with its soul roared violently breaking the divine water orb. Ren flashed at the Old God’s side and attacked with everything he had. The sword’s path was blocked by an invisible wall, but Ren’s sword pass through it like it was butter. Snertal was about to slash the Old God when the Old God casually lifted its hand catching Snertal.

The Old God used a bit of the law of time to stop Snertal’s time and the law of space to halt Snertal’s downward slash. Even though Dragons were famous for negating almost all forms of spells, some even had the power to ignore the very laws of the universe itself, but surely a young dragon that was turned into a sword didn’t have such power or so the Old God thought.

Snertal ignored the law of time and space used by the Old God and continued downward but as it was about to slice through the Old God, Ren’s blade stopped as the Old God held onto Snertal.

“As expected of an incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul, even in your condition you still have the power to harm me. Unfortunately, no matter how strong you become in the end, you’re still a mortal, this is were your limit lies.”

Hearing what the Old God said Ren chuckled, he was about to respond but then he felt a burning sensation on his chest. The sun mark that was near Tsukiyomi’s moon mark suddenly started to glow. As Ren’s head started to ache he saw a moving dot in the distance. Ren could no longer think straight so he ignored what was happening and finally responded to the Old God.

“Heh, who are you to tell me what my limit is?! I am Ren! Reincarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul! Former Demon Lord Kretos! Slayer of Demon Lords and Heroes alike! Dominator of Spirits and Dragons! and the bane of the Gods!” 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎ｌ.𝚘ｒｇ

Ren burst out with an indescribable power, it was a power that was always within him but he had no access to, until now. Ren’s very soul became his power and enveloped him and his weapon Snertal.

The Old God that was so sure of his victory finally felt a true threat of death, as he tried to block Ren’s slash. The Old God was then finally forced to use his actual power.

“Under my true name Gwydion I declare to unleash my heavenly might!”

The Old God Gwydion who was just a white mass in the shape of a human transformed into a muscular man with long black hair and white eyes. Not only did his appearance change by the aura he was emanating became suffocatingly powerful.

Gwydion raised his other hand and a barrier with multiple layers appeared in front slowing down Ren’s slash. Gwydion then summoned a glowing white longsword and swung it upward intercepting Ren’s slash.

The two weapons collided which made the ground below them shatter and the sky above them part ways. The wind created by their clash turned into numerous tornadoes. The very space surrounding them was shattering from their power. Gwydion was once again surprised that even at full power he was not able to get the upper hand against an extremely weakened incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul.

“As always no matter the incarnation you defy all logic. Still, how long can you keep this up?”

“Heh, you’re becoming more talkative, are getting scared?” Ren was about to say something more but blood came rising from within his throat wanting to come out.

“It seems like this battle is coming to an end.” Gwydion’s indifferent tone coupled with his cold look just ignited Ren’s fighting spirit.

“True this battle is coming to an end, and this move will be the one to end it!”

Ren’s power once again increased drastically as he sliced through Gwydion’s longsword. Ren was finally able to strike Gwydion’s body. Seeing he had successfully hit Ren’s consciousness could no longer hold it as he took a final look at his opponent.

There was a slice mark in Gwydion’s chest, it was a deep wound that was filled with Ren’s Qi, this was a wound that will never be healed but to an Old God like Gwydion, this was nothing more than an annoyance.

“Tsk, not as good as I hope, but thanks for the battle.” Ren chuckled before he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Seeing Ren finally fall down, Gwydion was about to take him when he noticed that someone had erected a well-built barrier locking them in the area. Gwydion looked behind him and saw a dragon flying towards them at a speed close to the speed of light. Even at this distance, Gwydion could see that the dragon was several times bigger than his true size.
