Apocalypse Regression's

Only Two Choices

Opening his eyes, Ark saw such a familiar sight.

Beautiful hills with rivers flowing with clear water. A lush forest in the distance where the birds sing. Spacious meadows filled with colorful wildflowers. A peaceful and beautiful remote village.

It was a place Ark had visited after returning from a mission. That place was also the destination that the young man wanted after finishing everything. A place where he could stay quietly without thinking about things or returning to commit crimes.

On the airy ground filled with flowers, the figure of the girl wearing a simple dress stood on her back. Seeing that figure, Ark subconsciously wanted to approach him, but his body could not be moved.

At the moment when he was confused, angry, and annoyed at the sense of helplessness ..a soft voice rang out in his ears.

‘Perhaps when can not protect, the scar on your body will increase.’

‘Perhaps in silence, the voice of friends you never had time to reach his hand will echo and tear the soul.’

‘Perhaps when you are alone and lonely, you will be stopped because of the burden you hold so far.’

‘Maybe when you feel weak and weak, you want to shed tears.’

‘Could you hold it in order to look tough?’

‘Or are you trying to hide that pain deep behind a mask of lies?’

‘I don't think a crying man is a weak man. After all, what do you consider to be a weakness ..’

The figure turned around with a gentle smile on his face.

‘Isn't that also part of being human?’

Recalling the memories of the children, teenagers, adults, apocalypse arrived. Ark had felt a feeling of helplessness many times. But somehow, the pain and injuries are what make it continue to be better than before.

Humans may often make mistakes and fall many times. But when he got up and received his wound …

That person could definitely step forward and become better than before!

By the time Ark felt his heart pounding, the young man suddenly woke up from his dream. Sitting leaning against Finn's body lying behind him then looking at Huginn and Muninn perched atop a mutated rose tree, he wiped a hint of tears at the corner of his eye.

Looking towards the humble-looking headstone, a gentle smile appeared on Ark's face.

“I don't know if the spirit does exist and if you actually came to see me. But I must have seen you in my dreams. Although it sucks to admit my helplessness. However …

Thank you for helping me.”

Ark then rose. Gazing towards the gravestone, he touched the sapphire necklace that hung around his neck.

“Although we can not realize, the dream we drew together will not fade.”

“I will also no longer try to forget separation or pain.”

“Thank you for making me fear no more.”

“Thank you for making me walk again.”

Ark was polite. After re-enforcing his body, the young man displayed a gentle and tenacious smile on his face.

“See you again, Anya.”

***

Three days later.

Looking at himself on the mirror, Ark could not help but sigh deeply. He admitted that the ability of the kraken in regenerating is really very outrageous.

After exiting the room and descending to the first floor, Ark then had breakfast with the people. It's just that Kurona and Shirona still need time to recover and cannot come along. Jay is the same. Although he was awake, the man had to stay at home and not do anything heavy before the wound was fully healed.

Seeing how Jay seemed happy to be cared for and pampered by Mona, Ark was convinced that the man was okay!

After breakfast, Ark changed his clothes and got ready. Today he was going to the Silver Cross main headquarters. The young man even invited Joseph and Siegfried there. He sent a message through Huginn and Muninn.

Ark felt that everything had to be made clear. Otherwise, many things will fall apart when the time comes. So, the young man set out with some of his comrades to head to the Silver Cross headquarters.

After traveling for quite a while, they finally arrived at the Silver Cross headquarters.

Seeing the arrival of the Ark, everyone looked surprised. They all thought that the young man had previously been subverted and could not get up. Some people even think that the famous Hades died after fighting a very powerful monster. However they were all wrong as Hades once again appeared in front of them.

“It's good to see you're okay, Hades.” Joseph said with a smile on his face.

“I didn't expect there to be a time when you could really be defeated,” Julian added.

“It seems that you guys are not surprised to see me safe?”

Hearing Ark's question, the two looked at each other as if they were asking if the young man was joking. Seeing that, Ark himself did not know whether to be sad or happy. Clearly, they both believed in his strength, and that was not a bad thing. Only, they seemed to think that there was no creature too powerful out there to kill him.

That is a big mistake!

“How about we go in and talk?” Julian.

“Good.” Ark nodded lightly.

After everyone entered, Ark went straight to the meeting room while the members of his group stayed to rest. In the meeting room, there were only six people living, two per group. They were Ark and Lisa from Sword of Sufferings. Julian and Berto from Silver Cross. Joseph and Siegfried of Black Panther.

“So what do you want to talk about until you have to come together like this, Ark?”

“Of course I have to tell you something very important, Julian.” Ark shrugged his shoulders.

“What's up?” joseph asked with a serious expression.

“You only know that me and some core members of Sword of Sufferings were defeated. So before discussing the heavier topic, I will tell you what happened first.”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded. At that time, Ark began to tell stories.

Listening to the young man's story and how to describe it made everyone except Lisa frown. Lisa herself knew that Ark's story was a bit far-fetched, but it didn't make it any worse. On the contrary, despite lacking focus on the point of their fight with the Ant King, Ark highlighted about the other ants. Both the shape of the nest and the estimated number of ants in it.

“So you mean ... The Ant King is so strong that the four of you can't beat him?” julian asked with an expression of disbelief.

“Sucks to admit it. But that's the reality.” Ark nodded.

“There is more important. Hades said that the army of ants could grow rapidly. If we let them continue to take resources, those creatures will definitely annihilate this city sooner or later. It could even annihilate the surrounding cities after this.” Joseph focused on another point.

At that moment, the two of them started to argue. Ark then pretended to cough then said calmly.

“Actually, we only have two options.”

Hearing that, Joseph and Julian immediately stared at the Ark.
