◇Sun Hero Alexander POV◇
It should have been a boring job.
The Pope-jiichan ordered me to kidnap the Moon Oracle.
The Evil God Apostle will get in the way, so he told me that he didn’t mind forceful methods.
I thought that if they listened to what I said, it should be fine to do it by force.
But the Light Hero unexpectedly intruded.
Also, the Fire Country’s Designated Hero woman was unexpectedly strong.
It just isn’t going as smoothly as I thought.
It annoyed me.
That must have been why…
……I ended up killing the Fire Country Hero while I was blinded by this.
After that, her corpse disappeared for some reason, and without having the time to find that strange, something even stranger happened.
The Water Country’s Designated Hero had suddenly ‘changed’.
He turned into a strange figure that shines blue.
(…What is that?) (Alex)
The Water Country’s Designated Hero doesn’t have high battle power.
When compared to the Fire Country’s Hero and the Light Hero, he is several times lower.
But overwhelming mana began to cover his body.
High concentration of mana was being condensed, and even more mana was gathering.
(That amount of mana is a bit problematic.) (Alex)
I look at the Moon Oracle that I was holding up with my right arm.
He is no match for me anyways, but I don’t know if I would be able to fight him with only one hand.
Just when I thought this…
Mist suddenly appeared in front of me, and it turned human shaped.
—My right arm was suddenly cut off.
“What?!” (Alex)
Even orihalcun is inferior to my body that’s clad in Divinity.
What happened?
By the time I noticed, the dagger of the Water Country Hero, who was right by my side, had been swung.
That small blade managed to cut off the arm of the great me?
Pure surprise won over my pain.
My arm fell to the ground together with the Moon Oracle.
“Furi!”
The red haired elf ran to the Moon Oracle.
“……Ugh.”
The consciousness of the Moon Oracle seems to still be hazy.
The elf woman was trying to carry the Moon Oracle away.
What a pain.
I was going to hit the elf away, but I remember that I don’t have my arm.
“Sun Magic: [Regeneration].” (Alex)
I use magic and regenerate my arm.
I lightly make a fist with my right arm, and check its movement.
Umu, no problem.
And then, I glared at the Rozes Hero shining blue that’s in front of me.
Wounding my body deserves divine punishment.
The Rozes Hero says something.
“XXXXXXXXXX…”
I couldn’t understand what he was saying.
He spoke words I am unfamiliar with and, suddenly, a giant water swirl appeared between around me and him.
A water pillar that’s big enough to cover the sky.
When I looked properly, I could see that water dragons were surrounding the area while undulating around.
(Hundreds? …No, there’s several thousands.)
They are skillfully avoiding the Moon Oracle, the red haired elf, and the Light Hero that is on the ground.
The water dragons are trying to engulf the Rozes Hero and I and bring us somewhere.
You want to change locations?
(What a pain.)
Feeling annoyed, I try to punch the Rozes Hero with my regenerated right arm.
*Pang!!*
An explosion happened as it connected.
The annoying hundreds of water dragons surrounding me were blown away as well.
My punch has the power to blow up a whole castle.
The Rozes Hero must have been turned to dust.
Fool.
That’s for going against the great Sun Hero.
My mouth warped.
But it was unnecessary killing.
The Destiny Oracle Esther might reprimand me for this.
I have to think of an excuse…at the moment I thought this…
The Rozes Hero that was supposed to have turned to dust…returned back to normal in an instant.
“What?!”
Impossible.
His body should have been destroyed to a point that it wasn’t possible to recover from.
However, the strange figure of the Rozes Hero that was releasing blue light was riding on top of a water dragon he himself created, and was looking down at me.
“XXXXXX…”
And he was speaking a language that I couldn’t understand for a while now.
Even more water dragons created by water magic were swirling around me.
This is the first time I see this magic.
It is quite the peculiar magic.
And it is impressive.
To think he would be able to survive after getting hit by the great me.
Well, it is already pointless.
(Fool… My God Rank Appraisal can spot all your weak points.)
While feeling pity for him, I activate Appraisal.
I will crush your foolish third-rate magic.

………What’s this?
This is not the Status of a human.
What in the world am I fighting against?
Moreover, what’s that dagger?
That’s a sacred treasure!
Why is a person of the mortal realm in possession of it?!
What was the one who gave it to him thinking?!
There’s a limit to excessive equipment.
Even in the time when the gears in my brain turned, the mana around the Rozes Hero was increasing.
No, it is not something as lukewarm as ‘increasing’…
Mana was gathering as if several explosions were setting off and condensing.
“……”
And this guy hasn’t been saying a word for a while now.
His expressionless face was looking at me while shining blue.
However, there was clear killing intent directed at me.
My heart was stirring.
This is my first time feeling like this.
“Annoying! Begone!”
It was a serious hit.
In the past, when I did a serious attack, a whole mountain was erased.
Since then, I have never done it again -an attack that carries my all.
“This is the end!!”
I smash the Rozes Hero with it.
Breaking the barrier of sound, the moment it connects, an explosion will occur.
The one who gets hit by this won’t even have dust remain.
But…the fist of the great me had stopped while still pierced in him.
On top of that, the explosion that should have occurred was mitigated.
Impossible…
It was…m-mitigated?
Why is it that I, who has the power of a god, is unable to do anything against a weak human?!
Impossible!
What’s with this guy?!
I hurriedly take distance.
“XXXXXXX.”
As always, I can’t understand the words of the Rozes Hero.
For a second, I think I saw the figure of many blue skinned women.
That’s…the Great Water Spirit, Undine?
Great Water Spirits are lending him power?
At that moment, what surfaced in my mind was the conversation I had with the Destiny Oracle Esther.
◇
—“Listen here, Alexander. Don’t put a hand on the Spirit Weapons of the Titans, okay?”
I remember the words Oracle Esther, who was my teacher, told me as if she were above me.
The Titans that fought with the Olympians for hegemony.
The Titans would give will to nature like earth and wind, and would use those as weapons.
The names of those weapons were called:
-Great Fire Spirit, Salamander.
-Great Water Spirit, Undine.
-Great Wind Spirit, Sylph.
-Great Earth Spirit, Gnome.
And there was apparently an existence that ruled over them.
The people of the mortal realm would call him Spirit King, and the Gods would call it Spirit Weapon.
The Spirit King apparently shows up from within the most experienced believers of the Titan Gods –in an Apostle that offers their flesh.
That power is overwhelming, and depending on the user, it could destroy the world.
That it is powerful enough to destroy a star.
Because of that, at the same time as the war in the Divine Realm was put to an end, all the Spirit Weapons were disposed of by the Olympians.
The return of them is the highest of taboos.
“You are strong, but you are a young Hero. Avoid battling with an Evil God and their Spirit Weapon, okay?” (Esther)
“Aah, okay okay. Got it.” (Alex)
I half-listened to the words of Oracle Esther.
I thought she was a noisy woman.
At that time, I thought I would like to meet an existence that would be able to beat the great me.
◇
-Present.
The mana of the blue figure in front of me, the Water Spirit King, continued increasing even now.
The water dragons created from magic had already increased by the tens of thousands.
An amount of water dragons that were enough to cover the whole sky.
–It was as if a new ocean had been created in the sky.
The Embodiment of the Whole World’s Water…
The way to defeat him is to eliminate all the water in the world.
Impossible.
There’s no possible way to do that…
At this rate, the great me is going to…
“D-Don’t joke around! There’s no way that I, the Sun Hero, would lose!”
[Holy Sword summoning]!
A magic sword shining white appeared in front of me.
The Holy Sword I got from the Highland royalty.
I grabbed that, and poured all of my Divinity in it.
I held the sword tightly with both hands and took stance.
“DIEEEEEE!!”
I lunged at the Rozes Hero that was looking down at me, and swung down the holy sword.
The Rozes Hero silently places his dagger in front as if to block it.
Suddenly, a giant barrier of ice appeared in front of the Rozes Hero.
(This is the saint rank spell, Frozen Barrier; moreover, several layers of it! But…!)
I will break them all!
I unleashed an attack that would bring down even a Demon Lord in one hit.
Several tens of ice barriers broke, and the holy sword clashed with the Rozes Hero’s dagger.
*Crack*
Cracks formed on the holy sword.
I could clearly tell that my face had stiffened.
The barriers were broken…
But it couldn’t match the blade of the Rozes Hero’s sacred treasure.
I was the one who lost the clash.
“Impossible…”
My attack didn’t work.
His mana is still increasing without limits.
This is impossible…
I must not fight him.
I have no choice but to run away…but where?
He controls all the water in the world.
There’s nowhere to run.
By the time I noticed, all the eyes of the water dragons circling me…were looking at me as if saying they won’t allow my escape.
Several tens of thousands of eyes were looking at me.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”
I shouted and lunged at the Rozes Hero once more.
◇
At the deep dark depths of the water.
At the depths of the sea where the light of the sun doesn’t reach…
…How many hours has it been?
No, maybe days?
In front of me there’s the Rozes Hero looking at me as if he were a death reaper.
What was circling around us were more than several tens of thousands water dragons.
I can’t even escape anymore.
I can’t defeat him.
I can’t kill him.
Can’t break him.
Won’t break.
Even if I cut him.
Even if I pierce him.
No matter what I do.
He would regenerate himself over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over.
I have infinite mana, but my opponent also has infinite mana.
That’s why the battle won’t be settled forever.
No, that’s not it.
The sacred treasure he holds…
If it is that, he could take my life away.
And the Water Spirit King in front of me won’t stop until I die.
Why…did I try to oppose something like this?
The northern slums. Though it’s called northern, it’s not much different from the slums of…
"Don't you want to Awaken, young lady?" Middle Sector. A place where people believe there…
"Nice, it looks like Sage made sure to get the guns I requested." (Lanpeach) Lanpeach…

Thanks for the chapter!
So Alex called Ira-sama as his teacher eh? That makes him someone or something that has a relation with the Gods i guess. He even said himself that he blew off a mountain with a single attack, i doubt that there's a human who could do that without a very long training (Except Makoto, of course. He can call a natural disaster at will anyway lol)
Oh dear, Makoto you completely transformed yourself into a spirit. I wonder how will Noah-sama and Eir-sama reacts. They already forbid you to do that back in the Fire Country. But well it's a desperate situation after all so i guess the outcome won't be that bad.
Way to defeat : Eliminate all the water in the world
Ahahahah, there's no way Alex could do it, no matter how much divinity cladded he is. Well good luck surviving against current Makoto, because you can't win at all anyway!
Oh boy, Makoto should be in Alex's nightmare for a while after this. Of course, that if Alex survived this
Would't it be cool if Makoto returned back to his usual self but his stats says
Race: Great Spirit Prince
He said that Esther was his teacher, he doesn't seems to know she's Ira in "perpetual descent", was it?. In fact that seems to be the reason he previously obeyed her; 'cause Esther (not Ira) is his teacher.
On the other hand, the more I read the more I wonder what the heck is he, he has a divinity and can use God Rank magic, but he doesn't seems to be a God proper, otherwise he wouldn't have listened to the Pope and/or go against Makoto.
About his divinity I first thought Ira had put her divinity there in other to hide it, but if her Idol activities and Alex's appearances say something is that you can hide by "suppressing" it.
It looks like he might be a demigod by greco-roman standards (not that that's the only influence in this mythology tho, srsly google "Althena"), but he's clearly separated from the God's realm.
Ah right, i keep thinking that Esther is Ira after that constant descent reveal aha, making me often confusing those two.
That's an interesting thoughts you have there. Thanks to you @Alemag. I have another theory about alex and Ira's relationship. Including the pope.
This just my thoughts ;
1. Is Let's go back to Wood County's hero ;according to him esther is kind and not so arrogant but now half year she change her personality( if I remember it correctly). And now we know her personality change into, now we know Ira. Coincidentally that alex appears it at same time where Esther just change personality( Constant Descent ) so maybe that time is where alex is born,( which would be explain why alex at that time is like zombie where he's so quiet). That time Where alex is born Ira is already Descending to Esther [which would explain why Alex is listening to Esther but since he a new born child that listen to his parent/guardian (teacher whatever is it he called her) at the time where he atempt to attack the moon oracle by the order of esther at the first revelation pn makotos identity s an apostle] . Thinking about it more, since he already taught by esther(Ira) on first moment he born so of course he would not suspect that was Ira ( i can be wrong, since in this chapter he reveals that he's a god that has divinity and the sun hero)it could be he knows it already , that was a goddess. This thought can be proved by alex personality is similar to esther(Ira) quite arrogant (Prideful idiot) which unlikely to esther(not Ira) who known by the wood hero in the past. Back to your point he didn't know the "perpectual Descent", i think he knows it. Considering this chapter that he proclaimed he has divinity (demi - god) .
2. "pope - jiichan" okay first he's a demi - god ( not an actual one or lets just say not equal to ira or athenas power). So your right he's not a proper god but since that time he's still in the learning phase (well child mind) so that time he's still listening Esther (Ira) . Second is the "pope - jiichan" in this chapter, so my thoughts since he likely listen [second only esther(Ira)] to the pope and considered him his uncle, that would be that pope spoiled him(brainwash). That would explain why he listened to the pope. And this would proved that why he appeared out of nowhere in the Highland. As to the questions as how he grow up so fast? : that would be because it's magic or his a demi-god( with his divinity that would be possible) and his teacher teaches him how to control his power. And if I'm wrong, then i don't know anymore than this. Well my point in this long explanation is an theoretical evidence that proves : 1. Alex relationship towards Esther (ira)., 2. He know that was Ira constant Descent, 3. The question about how he appeared suddenly, 4. Why he listened to the pope ( pope- jiichan thingy).
Pls i hope I'm right about this theory , because it take me a while typing this theory 😥🤯
Ooops I mean Esther = Ira. And she might have been referring to Makoto indirectly too.
Yep demigod more like it. In myths they said Alexander was a son of Zeus. That's the only explanation that can fit, but origins and circumstances is a big question mark.
I think so too. Alex did not know that Esther was actually Makoto. And he actually thought that was "negotiating" when it was blackmailing and threats. Shows a lot about who influenced him (Pope).
For Makoto, I am not too worried if he's dead since Esther (Ira) still owes him and there's Noel. Both of them have resurrection spells that has been foreshadowed since Geralt's death from berserk Makoto.
I'm also worried about the price it'll take to turn Makoto back to human; in one hand o lot of people hold some sort of responsibility, Noah, Eir, Ira, the Pope, Alex, etc.; on the other hand humans usually have the short end of the stick when that happens, and Makoto himself is in a pretty bad position now.
actually, Eliminating all Water in the world does Human Also Count?
as we know most of Human Body made of Water, so does they need kill Humanity too?
I'd say it's unlikely, as it probably has to do more with the spirits giving him infinite power than the water itself, but only the author knows for sure.
They would have to eliminate all LIFE cause all plants and animals contain water. So basically unless you completely destroy the world you aren't killing Makoto in Spirit King mode lol.
It would be impossible as even air has amount of water vapour, but it will weaken him if all the world's water is eliminated. Much like what was done to Kronos whose body was disintegrated and scattered across Tartarus
What will happen to Makoto ? Spirit weapons are said to be the highest of taboos. Do you think Althena who is known to be strict on rules will allow Makoto to live even if it is not his fault?
From the real-world legend, I think that the father of Alex, Noah, Ira and Althena is Jupiter, so Alex is Althena's little brother. There is a part of fault is hers and Ira for don't teach Alex well and let he attack Makoto's team and kill Aya - Makoto's friend, causing Makoto activate Water Spirit King form. Althena is also known for Goddess of Justice, if she execute Makoto then there will be no fairness to him and his team, which is unacceptable for "symbol of Justice". I think Althena will give Makoto merciness with one condition: his Water Spirit King form have to be sealed forever, then she will do something to compensate him and his team.
Does she have a choice?
He's about the kill her strongest hero who for some reason even has divinity.
The holy gods probably don't have any ability to restrict the power of a follower of Noel so the only thing she could do would be the put out a kill order for him, which would probably not be a good idea.
Well i think yes, he would allowed( i hope so).
Well think about it. There was a demi - god hiding in the mortal world. And it already mess with humans( sakurai and many more. ) if he's truly a goddess of justice he would allow it, but i think makoto power would be strip. Or like erasing his spirit king form. Because it's a treat. The blame would be on the pokantsu goddess who didn't stop alex. Then if not then i don't anymore i will hate the holy gods if Athena won't be fair.
she could try, but that's her fault for letting alex run wild, and there's Eir, there's Ira, and biggest of all, Noah
I don't think Makoto should fear something at this point
And the fact that everything else was shown as unknown means that he is weaker than Makoto
Hahah hes weak alright.
Cliffhanger always gets me every time
What the hell this is too fast! We were just watching them bicker with each other 2 chapters ago!
Will makoto lose his humanity after this? Surely not right? This is a comedy isekai right?
Thanks for the chapter
Nah, Noah-chan will somehow backup him, plot armor and all. He will lose some other part of him probably, though. Or not, if "sacrifice of flesh" is counted as lifespan
I have no doubt that Noah will be able to do something since she did mark herself on his arm. Not sure if Makoto removed her ability to control him or just his limiter but I'm guessing Alex's divinity is what is interfering with her being able to talk to Makoto.
If Alex stops generating it (through death or unconsciousness), I can see Noah able to bring Makoto back to sanity somewhat but not sure if he'd still be considered human after that?
FUCK YOU
Hey :/
He already lose it.... He is a spirit King now
Probably, he was not human in first place when he transform into a spirit arm. In the fire country arc.
He did mention that the spirit weapons were destroyed in the past so he might get that ability sealed or something so I don’t think it will end something he will be able to do at any given moment
Obrigado
Man someone got the big boy treatment version that Geralt got.
If Noel wasn't there,Geralt already dead lol,i mean he's literally already dead but got resurrected
I still remember, geralt traumatised after that fight on water ( i think). Alex would be next, i can't wait for alex face after this chapter 😂
Surviving in this form is virtually impossible, at this moment the only characters who can beat him are Full Gods- and Goddess.
Gerald only pummeled Makoto, this bastard killed Aya-chan. Hope he will be killed to the point of no ressurection(Dagger apparently is capable of this)
That is, if he survives. Geralt was lucky back then as the duel was halted, but here no one will stop Makoto.
Well i was hoping alex would die thou.
Thanks a lot for the chapter
Thank you so much for this chapter
His suffering is my lifeblood T^T
Break his mind Makoto :D
In addition, thank you for the last chapter :D

Damn my prediction was right
