Hellmode ~Gamer Who Likes to Speedrun Becomes Peerless in a Parallel World with Obsolete Setting~

Allen had told her that Bek was likely with the Demon King\'s Army, either captured by force, or helping them. In Patlanta, Allen took care of dealing with Ignomas and looking into Sinorom, while she remained with Princess Carmin. She felt like accomplishing her side of the mission was all she had to focus on.

(So they really held Bek hostage then.)

Shea had looked distraught when she heard about Bek\'s coup. While she always claimed she wanted to make Albahar an empire and unite the continent, she had also always admired her brother and his determination to keep the kingdom safe.

\'Good, the time is ripe, the blood offered. Now, wake up!\'

Kyubel had regained his crazed tone as he spoke, Bek\'s blood being absorbed into the crystal flower\'s style. As Shea shouted, Bek\'s remains turned transparent like a glass sculpture.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!!!

After Bek\'s blood was absorbed, the crystal flower\'s style began to tremble. The mermen of Patlanta also noticed something was happening.

"Hey, this doesn\'t look good!!"

Cecile was still busy fighting Bildiga, but the situation did not make her feel any better.

The crystal flower was done releasing crystal seeds, but it kept glowing. But that glow started to dim, as if being absorbed by something inside it. Something black started to spew out from the base of the flower, going up the flower\'s style.

"Something\'s coming. I guess that\'s the Evil God."

Dogora muttered with worry. The crystal flower\'s style began to crack, and something resembling a human figure came out.

So much was happening that even Basque and Bildiga stepped back to watch. Even Shea looked away from Bek\'s crystalized dead body to see what was happening.

It had a black body, with red veins pulsating all over it. But any other features were obscured, so it was impossible to see the face.

\'Wh-where am I?\'

(I guess things went according to plan for them after all. It\'s just a part of the Evil God, but can we win against that?)

The Demon King\'s Army had spent all their resources in this, and resurrected the Evil God. Allen was already struggling against the Demon Great Generals, so he began to ponder if he had any chance now.

The black body had a flat face like a fencing mask, with no eyes or mouth visible. The Evil God\'s tail in human form spoke up, clearly confused by the current situation. It looked around wondering what was going on.

\'Ohh, you\'ve awakened. I\'ve been waiting for this day for more than a million years.\'

Kyubel was elated by the Evil God\'s resurrection. He knelt down, lowering his forehead to the ground as he greeted the Evil God. It was like his playful personality had vanished.

\'Who are you? Hm? Who am I?\'

Kyubel seemed to know the Evil God, but the Evil God had no memories. It twisted its black body with highlighted veins, looking all over its own body.

(Hm? Is the Evil God still half asleep? I feel like the legend also mentioned the Sea Monster was not fully awake too. Wait, the Arbiter God is approaching it.)

Allen\'s first reaction was that. It was hard to think there would be a fight if the Evil God did not know anything.

The Evil God held its head in confusion, while the Arbiter God approached with Kurena on her back. Once close enough, she lowered her head just like Kyubel.

\'Y-you! I remember you. Err…right! You\'re that!!\'

The Evil God pointed at the Arbiter God, seemingly knowing who she was. The Evil God seemed happy, finally finding someone familiar.

\'Yes, God of Law Axilion, I\'m Pharnemes. We haven\'t seen each other in a million years. You\'ve been awakened in an incomplete state, which is why your mind and body feel confused. You\'ll quickly get used it.\'

\'Ohh right, you were my horse. Come closer, my beloved horse Pharnemes!\'

The Arbiter God approached slowly, and the Evil God gently patted her head.

\'Thank you very much. I\'ve waited many years for this day.\'

The Arbiter God was overcome with emotion, shedding tears which quickly vanished in the ocean.

(Oh right, she once called herself the Guardian of the God of Law. Was the Arbiter God working for the Evil God then?)

When they won against the Evil Cult, the Arbiter God had said something to that effect.

\'Is Axilion my name?\'

\'Yes, it is. You are the ruler of the world\'s laws, the God of Law Axilion. Your First Angel is also present here.\'

Saying that, the Arbiter God lowered her head to point at Kyubel. There was someone else familiar with the Evil God there.

\'My First Angel? Are you my First Angel? His name was Kyu…Kyu…what was it again? I can\'t remember! Take that mask off right now!!\'

The mask made it harder to remember, so the Evil God demanded Kyubel take off his mask.

\'My apologies, Master Axilion. I still have some duties to accomplish, I can\'t remove my mask. I\'m called Kyubel now.\'

He hid behind the mask and that name now, so he would not take it off.

\'Wha-?! You won\'t show your face, Kyuplas? I thought you were waiting for this moment for a million years too! W-was this not your goal?\'

The Arbiter God had not expected that refusal. There was something odd about the way he phrased that too.

At the same time, the altar\'s black flames burned bigger.

\'You\'re right, I waited a million years to accomplish my goal, and I\'m only halfway there. I have to finish what I started!\'

Kyubel regained his playful voice and raised his arms upwards. In response, the flames stretched up and arched down to the Evil God\'s body.

\'Ghahhhh?! What are you doing…my body?! I\'m…I\'m…!!\'

The flames covered the Evil God\'s entire body. He fell on his knees, his hands hitting the crystal flower\'s style. He was clearly in pain, his body starting to convulse.

\'Wha-?! What are you doing to Master Axilion! S-stop that!!\'

\'Ghahhhhhhhhhh!!\'

"Uwah?!"

The Arbiter God tried to get closer and shake off the black flames covering the Evil God\'s body, but the Evil God pushed her and Kurena on her back away.

\'That\'s just an offering to restore his power.\'

Kyubel had gathered human souls for that.

\'Ghaaaahhhh?! I\'m…I\'MMMMM…\'

The Evil God\'s body swelled up and became more grotesque, his voice seemingly losing reason. He was transforming into what looked like a monkfish with arms and legs. He grew tens of meters in size, and would not stop even though he looked pained.

\'You\'ve gone mad, this is unacceptable for a First Angel!!\'

\'I know. I\'m just dancing in a mad world.\'

Kyubel said that with a twirl, as if mocking the entire world.

\'I\'ll stop you. Master Axilion would never wish for this! Let\'s go Kurena!!\'

The Arbiter God faced the transforming Evil God inside the black flames.

"Okay!!"

Kurena held her greatsword ready, ready to go with the Arbiter God.

\'Hmph!!\'

\'Ghuh?! Master Axilion, please wake up!!\'

The Evil God swatted the Arbiter God and Kurena away with his enormous hand. His hand was disproportionately large, though his entire body kept transforming.

"We\'re fighting everyone!!"

"Yeah!!"

Allen and his friends could not really understand what had happened there. But the Evil God had just attacked the Arbiter God and Kurena. Allen and his friends had to step in and fight too, they could not afford to watch any longer.

Meanwhile Bildiga, Basque, and Ramonhamon would stop them from interfering.

"I\'m not retreating!! I won\'t leave this place. If you want to escape you\'ll have to do so without me!!"

Shea shouted that as she looked at Bek\'s crystalized body, whose blood had been used for the ritual. She knew Allen would consider retreating if the enemy was too powerful, but she would fight to the end.

"You heard her, Allen. You\'re the leader, so think up a way to win this fight. I\'m not leaving either!!"

Cecile also would refuse to leave.. Seeing Bek get killed like that reminded her of her brother Mihai.

There were four Demon Great Generals there. Each one of them posed a major threat, and Ramonhamon constantly healed all of them too.

Bump!!

\'There\'s a new Urgent Quest available for Allen. Please check the message.\'

The Grimoire appeared once again. It told him to check his messages.

[Dear Allen:

Thank you for your usual support. We in the Divine Realm have issued an Urgent Quest for you. The objective is to defeat the Evil God in front of you. If you succeed, you\'ll be rewarded with 100 Levels. The reward and quest are only to you. Please try your best to fulfill it. The Sacred Beast Stone\'s analysis should be finished promptly as well.

Yours truly, Goddess of Water Aqua

And all the staff in the Divine Realm.]

(That message sounds really rushed, I\'d almost mistake it for a spam email.)

He remembered getting emails claiming to have incredible rewards, only for him. Almost all of them were different types of scams, but that did not seem to be the case here.

(Alright Kyubel, you might have been buying time for this, but you\'re not the only one who gained an advantage.)

Their earlier fight had been disastrous, and Ramonhamon was back too. It was a rather bleak situation.

But thanks to the process of bringing the Evil God back, and the conversation with the Arbiter God, some things had gotten better too. All the Demon Generals in the northern battlefield had been defeated.

Merus had hunted down most of them. There had been 13 in the north, and Bek had defeated another one, so Allen had gained 14 Levels, going from Level 93 to Level 107. Allen did not know where Peromus had been, but he knew a Demon General was defeated there. After reaching Level 100, he received far better benefits than with previous Levels. He wanted to defeat the Demon Great Generals and the Evil God in front of him to gain even more.

\'Attention Allen\'s Army. The Evil God is being resurrected, there\'s a new plan! Everyone retreat!!\'

Allen shouted through the Bird F summon.

The battlefield would move to the place where the Evil God\'s tail had been brought back.
