Nine Tailed System 176 Congratulations, Savior.

...I was alone, for an eternity. The only other existence was darkness, with which I was completely repelled from.

Even if I split my own being and created others… It wasn't any different from simply speaking to myself.

The animals crawling on the ground… I prayed for the time when they could speak to me on equal terms.

Yes… It all began with that wish.

Hundreds of millions of years have passed since then. Those people on the ground now revere me as their God.

And so I acted as the God they wished for. I forgot my reason for being lonely, and took on the role of a God.

Before I realized it… I became dependent on their attention. Why did I desire humans so?

Did I simply want someone to talk to? Or did I truly wish to be a God over others?

After this eternity of time, I can't remember myself. I must be a God. Because if I wasn't… Who would I be?

…

Marco: ...Ilias.

He found himself in a dream, and surprisingly, Ilias was there, as if reading his thoughts, the system answered.

*Ding*

*The system considered it acceptable now, so it erased Ilias from the blacklist.*

Marco calmed a bit down and looked at Ilias, who had really a god-like figure instead of the aura of evil around her.

Ilias: If the people forget their God, and don't require one any longer… Then what would I be?

What reason does a Goddess have to exist, if she isn't wanted? A world that needs no God… I can't allow that…

Marco: ...Everyone has their roles. Alice's role was to being a Monster Lord, she needs to guide the monsters around the world to avoid people like Black Alice to accomplish on their objectives.

My role was to being the Savior and the Villain, to save the world from you, as much as lazy and asshole I am myself, I did it, I used my powers to save people, I used my powers to kill others, but I accomplished the objective…

Your role was to being a God, you needed to guide the humans on their right way, and cooperate with the Dark God Alipheese to help everyone, you don't need to carry the people around, you need to give them a thick stick, so they could walk without any other help.

You didn't do your role, you became the Antagonist, you wanted to remodel the world to your pleasure… And it was my role to kill you.

Ilias: The meaning of my existence was wrapped up in the thought of being a God. Was it all a mistake…?

Marco: ...I don't know.

Ilias: ...I knew it, it isn't your role, so you can't understand it, right?

Marco: Yes.

Ilias: Well, grandson…

Marco eye twitched when she heard calling him "Grandson".

Ilias: As a Goddess, I want to thank you as the Savior, you killed the Antagonist. Congratulations…

*Ding*

Marco: ...I won't forgive you anyway. You still killed my mother, but since I killed you already, I am more calm about you…

Ilias: ...Thank you for stopping me, and goodbye, Marco.

Marco opened his eyes and looked to a wooden ceiling.

Marco: What…

?: Marco!?

Marco slowly turned his head, and saw Alice with worried eyes, then he slowly got up and looked around, recognizing the room as the same one where he slept last time.

Marco: Yes, it's Marco...

Alice: Marco! You finally woke up!

Marco: So… How much time I was offline?

Alice: 2 weeks… You've been in a coma for a whole damn half-month! Do you know how long you've kept us waiting for you to wake up!? All of the celebrations and parties were put on hold because of your nap!

Marco: Shut the fuck up woman, at least it wasn't a month. I fucking used my "Everything" on that Juubi Dama, and it was the first time I used the Bijuu Gate, it was tiring, especially using both the Bijuu Gate and the cursed armor.

I fought a Seraph and the first half of the fight with Black Alice in Kurama Gate, then I used as much power as I could to attack Ilias. The day before I took down two labs and let Heinrich control my body, before he used skills that tired me.

The day before that I got around the world to save people, give me a bloody fucking break! Now explain what happened while I was knocked out.

Alice: ...At least you didn't changed…

Then she got over what happened since Ilias got "overkilled" from Marco's Juubi Dama. Since the invading armies lost their central pillar, they withdrew at once. All the shocked angels surrendered at once after losing Ilias. In addition, the Chimeras and remaining followers of Black Alice stopped fighting.

Since then, there were hardly any reports of revenge being taken out on the defeated armies. The rulers of the respective areas have put firm laws in place to prevent any brutality.

Alice: Now I must contact the Four Heavenly Knights at once… Actually, it would be faster for us to go out and meet them. Repairs and recovery have been progressing all over the world those past 2 weeks.

And it's time for the Savior's triumphant return! Even if it's two weeks late.

Marco: ...I'm turning back in coma, wake me up 1 year later, or when they think I'm dead…

Alice grabbed his hand before he turned back to the bed and took him out.

Alice: Don't be like that. Let's go!

Then she dragged Marco away, he found his Doomblade and quickly took it with his free hand before he got dragged out of the room. After that, Alice dragged Marco out of the castle, and took off on Diane's back.

The first stop was Enrika. However…

Marco: ...Where are everyone?

There was barely anyone in Enrika.…

Alice: Hmm… I heard the stories. But I didn't imagine it would become this deserted.

Marco: ...Maybe you can tell me this "story" instead of being that subtle…

Micaela came from a corner behind a house and said.

Micaela: If you are thinking about casualties, don't worry, they were in minimum…

Marco: '160222 casualties… more than the 10%, but it can still be considerable in a world war against a God, the first invasion was unexpected, and it consisted of rebels, chimeras and the untouchable angels… It was obvious many deaths would be there…'

Micaela: ...The reason there are so few villagers here is due to another reason.

Marco: Yo, aunt… I hope you enjoyed the fireworks at the Heaven.

Micaela chuckled a bit and answered.

Micaela: Thanks to that "Firework", the Heaven was under repairs and not even the 1% was fixed in these two weeks… But I want to thank you. By all rights, we should prepare a welcoming celebration…

Marco: For the love of the non-existent God, no. Fuck celebrations, I finished everything and I am waiting to stay in the nearest sofa and enjoy beer…

Micaela: About Gods…

Marco: ...What?

Alice and Micaela giggled, and Alice answered.

Alice: Yahweh.

Marco: Fuck!

Alice: Don't worry, only at San Ilia you are seen as a God, in the other places everyone see you as their Hero, but it may extend to the idol side.

Micaela: C'mon nephew, they even renamed San Ilia in Jahwe, a similar name as yours.

Marco: ...Fuck…

Micaela: Still, Lucifina and Marcellus would both be proud of you…

Marco: Yeah… When the world tour ends I will visit the place… So, care to tell me where the hell did everyone go?

Micaela: They returned to their village. Ilias Village's reconstruction has advanced a great deal in the past 2 weeks.

Marco: *Whistle* In 2 weeks?

Alice: Tamamo took it upon herself to personally oversee the reconstruction of the Savior's hometown. It seems she called upon all of the Kitsune family to assist.

Marco: Ohhh…

Micaela: Meanwhile everyone else transferred to different towns and villages since this one was just for hiding. You're a fine Hero, as much as you don't like to be called that, to bring down Ilias. With that, I have no more regrets.

But this is no time for me to relax. With all of the fallen angels from her downfall, it seems a refuge may still be needed…

Marco: Alright, I'll come here to visit you sometimes, bye aunt!

Micaela smiled at her nephew and waved her hand while Marco and Alice left, when they were far enough, she sighed.

Micaela: Still… In a basement… How much luck did he have for the Doom Overlord to not kill him at sight?
