"Uncle, these days I'll trouble you to take my place guarding Demon King City, and on that final day, I'll create an opportunity to switch positions."

Xue Dili looked at Uncle Brave, knowing that the uncle understood his plan.

Just like sixteen years ago, when he resolutely exchanged himself one-to-one with the Evil God.

The Tier Five Evil God, an opponent they couldn't defeat even at their best effort.

But after being sealed by Uncle Brave for sixteen years, and with this twice-powered Love Unlimited Holy Sword, even if the Evil God doesn't die, its life will be like a candle in the wind. By then, how much power would it have left?

As long as it falls to Tier Four, then... the plan would be flawless!

"What about you?" Uncle Brave asked Xue Dili.

"Me?" Xue Dili pointed at himself, a grin appearing at the corner of his mouth, "Uncle, you know me, I long stopped being human, but a Half Heroic Spirit."

"But perhaps, after today, that 'half' can also be removed."

"Thus, the crusade has ended, the king has fulfilled her mission."

...

It was as if he was in the ocean, with warmth enveloping him.

"Child, child..." A gentle voice echoed.

"Who are you?" Xue Dili looked at the person before him, a woman formed of light, without any discernible features, impossible to know any information of hers.

"Thank you, child, you can consider me as the consciousness of this planet..."

The light enveloped Xue Dili as if she were embracing him.

In her narrative, Xue Dili heard a description from an entirely different perspective.

When the Shabu Insect Race first descended, the World Consciousness noticed its presence, just like how the world of a Great Sage would elevate a Great Sage to the status of a "Guardian" to contend with this cosmic calamity.

This World Consciousness also began its struggle to survive. The summoning ritual of sixteen years ago wasn't by chance but orchestrated by this World Consciousness, knowing there was an organization specialized in combating these cosmic calamities and trying to reach out.

So, Uncle Brave came in response to the call.

Everything was supposed to go smoothly, but the outcome was a total defeat.

The Evil God was sealed, but the Planetary Consciousness lost the majority of its power. Moreover, even while sealed, the Shabu Insect Race could still infect and distort the world, severing its connection with all beings.

As the World Consciousness, it felt like being locked away, unable to convey its revelations to other creatures on the planet, nor could it summon the next member of the Interstellar Corps.

However, while the Beloved Holy Sword pierced Xue Dili's heart, it also reconnected the World Consciousness with the planet, enabling it to communicate with Xue Dili completely.

Even if it slightly ruined the atmosphere, Xue Dili really wanted to retort, "You're so weak."

He also realized at that point that during the Oath of Apocalypse four days before, the giant hand responding from the sky was this Planetary Consciousness.

"Child, you don't need to blame yourself; I have never blamed you. This was my agreed plan, the cost to completely eradicate the pollution."

"So, I will compensate you with the most perfect body, my hero." The World Consciousness reached out, touching Xue Dili's heart.

The next moment, his body began to restore, returning to its former appearance.

"Go back, child, your companions are calling for your miracle. I will grant you my final blessing..."

The World Consciousness projected its gaze onto this planet, seeing the Holy Sword powered by "love" and those heroes who were willing to risk their lives for a world unrelated to them. It knew what it could do in the end.

Since it couldn't provide more, it would let the entire world remember their heroic presence!

Project this battle to the entire world.

...

"Next is the duel between the knight and the Evil God." A voice echoed from somewhere unknown.

Fafnir turned her head, looking at the 12 Knights.

Every one of them smiled, draping their arms around their comrades' shoulders.

The palms of their hands were pierced through, with blood dripping to the ground, coalescing into an enormous magic array.

Not only the 12 heroes, but other cadres of the Demon King also came. They seemed like old acquaintances, smiling, looking towards the forming Evil God's shadow in the sky.

The blood from the hollow palms of the 12 Knights gathered into a complex array, originating from this world's array named "Summoning of the Brave."

When the 12 Knights went on expedition, each one had a hollow in their palm, serving this very moment.

"Declare, I offer my true name as the key and honor as the price, exchanging for your cross over the barrier of life and death—if you accept this contract, then sever the chains of causality and appear in this world!"

Everyone began chanting; the Evil God's shadow raged hysterically, but they seemed not to hear it, laughing maniacally, their spirits surging.

The teleportation gate of this world's Summoning of the Brave is truly unreliable, but this array differing from the regular ones inspired Xue Dili something different.

If heroes can be summoned from the Otherworld, can the inscriptions be modified to summon "dead" souls?

The answer was, yes! It certainly could.

Using specific items as a medium, summon the soul back into the present world, existing as a pure energy body.

The condition of this technique was extremely harsh, requiring a strong connection, a strong constraint, a strong belief, and a ritual triggered by 12 people as the medium.

This is a once-only miracle, effective only under these unique conditions at this precise moment.

This is named, Summoning of Heroic Spirits!

This was the real plan all along.

With the first life, unleash the maximum output.

And now, entering the second phase!

Evil God, you're merely a foolish insect born in a world without heroes.

Now, you are the challenger!

"Come from the Wheel of Restraint, Guardian of the World!"

"Return, hero who slays gods!"

A fierce light rose, swallowing the agonized and twisted Evil God, as if to engulf the world.

As the light faded, under the sunset, he emerged from the magic array, cloaked in white robes, hood obscuring his face, body wrapped in thorns, palms hollow like a punished sinner, yet behind him, a Great Light Wheel formed, representing war, pestilence, famine, and death.

Thus, Demon King Xue's Law died, and what would debut next is, the god-slaying Hero, Xediles!

Under the sunset, that returning hero made his entrance in the most legendary way!

He slowly opened his eyes, under the hood was the youthful face that astonished all of Greece.

Fafnir was completely dumbfounded; at this moment, tears burst forth from her eyes.

Sometimes, all it takes is a smile, and it's as if one possesses the entire world.

Thorns grew on his body, he smiled, "Heroic Spirit, Saint Xediles, responds to the summoning..."

All heroes aboard the Celestial Thunder laughed, picking up their lances, raising their shields, looking at the Evil God resembling a candle in the wind.

Xue Dili extended his hand, countless thorns spreading, absorbing the wounds from everyone, restoring them to their strongest state.

"Let me ask, who is it that calls upon us, the god-slaying heroes." Xue Dili finished speaking, and all the heroes laughed wildly, unleashing an earth-shattering war cry together,

This time, the Celestial Thunder gathered in full force, not a single one absent.

The heroes freely displayed their heroicing splendour, vibrant and spirited.

As if heroes stepping out of myth, just by seeing them, one knows they will never be corrupted by the Evil God and will never abandon their ideals.

And now, they'll launch their final charge for their ideals, the only thing left to do is, in the witnesses of all, triumph over the Evil God with unwavering dignity!

In the name of hero!
