Apocalypse Regression's

I Hate You's

“Indeed. It was an appearance that even threatened me. However, whether you or I will die cannot be determined. Anyway ...

It is a double-edged sword.”

The World Tree Spirit said to Ark with a flat expression on his face.

“...”

Ark himself did not want to talk much because he was busy controlling the fire that enveloped his body while enduring the pain of being roasted.

SWOOSH! BLAR!!

Together with the swing of the black fire sword, thousands of flower petals and leaves scattered. Sirna became ashes and disappeared being blown away by a gust of wind.

“What a stubborn.”

Seeing the severe injuries on his body, the World Tree Spirit still looked cold. A while later, his body gradually recovered just like before.

Together with a flick of his finger, tens of thousands of leaf blades shot towards the Ark.

SWOOSH!

With a loud swing, the leaves were instantly annihilated. Each Ark attack could actually withstand even limiting the World Tree Spirit ability. But, it doesn't all come for free.

“Are you out of breath?”

The World Tree Spirit tilted its head. Staring at Ark whose movements began to slow down.

Due to the roasting, Ark felt his breathing getting heavier, but if he only fought in ordinary circumstances, he could not gain the upper hand at all.

Not just because it has not absorbed the level 5 root miracle. Yet the power of the World Tree Spirit was too flexible and difficult to limit.

‘Ence! Simply land a fatal attack just once!’

“AARRGGHH!!!”

Ark roared with red eyes. The flames on his sword were blazing fiercely. Vaguely, the sound of ‘crack’ is heard. It seemed that the young man's weapon could barely even withstand it.

SWOOSH!!

The figure of Ark shot out like black lightning. Appearing in front of the World Tree Spirit, he shouted as he slashed down with all his strength.

“BURN ALL TO ASHES!”

The World Tree Spirit felt the threat of death. He directly controlled as many petals and leaves as possible to serve as a shield.

BLAARR!!!

A loud explosion was created, the shield that the World Tree Spirit had condensed was unable to withstand the Ark's attack. His left hand was severed and two of his wings were cut in half. Directly falling hit the emerald floor hard.

On top of the world tree canopy, black flames began to spread and burn everything.

The World Tree Spirit pointed towards the Ark that had fallen due to the impact. The pieces of wings and tens of thousands of flower petals condensed into seven spears, instantly darting and stabbing Ark right at the fatal part.

Sticking into the eyes then penetrating the brain, the neck, two in the chest, two in the stomach, and one destroying his sword.

BRUISES!

Ark's body fell onto the emerald floor violently. The seven spears that had previously been struck were instantly burnt by the black flames. But blood kept coming out and Ark's body kept twitching.

“WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO OPPOSE ME, MAN!”

The World Tree Spirit roared furiously. He had never felt such a death threat. This time he was close to death. Not only was his body nearly destroyed, his energy was also drained almost completely.

His healing abilities were related to the world tree. As long as it continued to be absorbed and lost vitality, it would also lose its regeneration ability.

“I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU AND DON'T MAKE TROUBLE WITH YOU!”

Hearing that, Ark who was lying down with a body drenched in blood laughed.

“Do not think I do not know what you want.”

Spreading its power, controlling mankind, constantly conquering and trying to control the world.

Yep. That's what they're trying to do.

‘It feels like dying. Totally different from what I used to be. Am I too greedy and want it too early?’

Thinking that, Ark who had almost lost his consciousness felt somewhat regretful. However, memories of what those high-level beings were doing in their previous lives appeared within the young man's head.

The Spirit of the World Tree, a figure dubbed the Queen of Nature. A high-level being that controls many other beings beneath it. Its own strength is in no way inferior to ‘Naga’ or King of Ants. It is not something that one can face alone.

So, before everything happens, Ark wants to stop these high-level creatures that are making a lot of chaos in the future.

When Ark felt he had almost lost everything, the hatred engraved in his soul showed reluctance. At that very instant, his body began to regenerate crazily.

Forcing himself to rise, Ark whose entire body was spurting blood made a growling sound. His voice was deep and full of hatred. It was like a whisper from the depths of hell.

“It is impossible to protect everything.”

“Not protect, but prevent.”

Ark's body trembled as the rotten flesh fell down and began to regenerate with new ones.

“OVERLORDS can't grow.”

“King Insect.”

“Natural Queen.”

“King of the Dragon.”

“Actine of Fire.”

“...”

Ark kept muttering names that no one but himself knew. His voice was getting louder and deeper.

“OVERLORDS ... Kill OVERLORDS!”

“TELAN.”

“LAHAP.”

“J DROPPING.”

“CAN'T ... RISE.”

The armor on Ark's body writhed, showing sharp and solid lines. Curved horns appeared above his helmet. Four black wings made of flesh and blood grew on his back. The squirming black fiber-like muscles appeared in every slit of the armor.

Hot steam kept emerging from behind the black helmet. Blood-red eyes stared towards the World Tree Spirit coldly like a demon that wanted to devour souls.

“MONSTER THIS!”

Just as his body began to regenerate again, the World Tree Spirit felt a powerful threat from the Ark that no longer looked like a human at all.

SWOOSH!

Two figures, one black and one white collided strongly.

BLAR!!!

A loud explosion was created and the World Tree began to shake violently. Every time the two clashed with all their might, the city below them shook as the World Tree shook.

Not knowing how long, many people finally reached the outer circle and could almost get out of the city. At first they thought the fog was thinning because they were almost out. However their expressions instantly changed when the mist completely disappeared.

Under the luster of starlight, those people saw the jet-black World Tree. It seemed to have completely lost its vitality.

Countless white flowers fell, spreading throughout the city along with a gust of wind. It features beautiful scenery under millions of starlight that they can't forget.

On top of the World Tree, the fight between the Ark and the World Tree Spirit had also reached its end.

Standing in the middle of the altar, Ark who had lost his armor and was only wearing ragged black clothes tightly embraced Silvia's body. There were no wings, no halo (ring) on the top of the head, only beautiful women who wore broken dresses full of bloodstains.

“It seems I can't hide everything from you.”

“In the end, I also couldn't keep my promise.”

Silvia leaned against Ark's chest while closing her eyes.

“Do you know, Ark? I took the name Eira which means snow in order to remember when we were together in the north.”

“En.” Ark nodded.

“Do you know, Ark? I was really lonely and felt helpless when Eira saw another child with both of their parents.”

“En.”

“Do you know, Ark? I really hate you. Hates you so much.”

Silvia looked up and gently kissed Ark's lips with tears streaming down her face. The woman then leaned back while closing her eyes, tightly gripping Ark's clothes as she said.

“If you hurt Eira, I won't forgive you. You have to remember that.”

“I promise I will take care of it.”

Hearing Ark's promise, Silvia smiled gently. It seems very relieved to be able to let go of everything.

“Then ... I really feel relieved.”

Lying in the arms of her loved one for the last time, Silvia exhaled her last breath in relief.

Meanwhile, Ark who felt Silvia's body begin to cool down in his arms closed his eyes. Just then, tears flowed through her cheeks.

Feeling remorse for not being able to keep what he has, but also realizing that in reality ..he is just a little human who cannot possibly oppose the universe of his own.
