Chapter 217 A New Hope



It had been a week since Nikol started doing his small tour around the land impregnating women and everything went perfectly, Nikol managed to visit most of the races and at least spread his seed to one or two women because as long as they can have a male child and female child everything in this land might return back to normal.

His visit to the demon kingdom had been nothing but a success. The demon queen as soon as she got her ass beaten by Nikol, she quickly started looking at Nikol in a different light, which was rather familiar to him.

'That idiot! She had been bothering me to take her back, even though I only met her for one day, she acts like she's the only thing that matters'

Nikol thought while holding his head in pain.

"You really went all out, didn't you? Looks at this line of women" Artemis asked looking at Nikol, who was lying on the bed with a line of women waiting to show their babies to him.

It was a really bizarre scene as, every woman looked like they were having the time of their life, even after giving birth and they felt new hope and dreams seeing their new generation. Most of them had the looks of Nikol, but none of them looked totally like him and Nikol knew that all of their races are normal.

"I hope no one becomes an abnormality like me," Nikol muttered and gave a kiss on the forehead of both mother and child and gave them a name.

Naming more than three thousand children was hard even for him, so he had to ask Artemis for help to come up with names. In the end, he had to go with the most random things, as he even named some children after the anime characters he watched in his previous life. He knew if this was his previous world, those kids would get bullied to death but luckily for them, nobody here knew how he came up with those names.

"Nikol, how exactly are they going to spread their races? More than 60% of the kids are your children, that means-" Artemis paused knowing what she was about to mutter was a taboo. It was immoral, but both of them knew, most of their kids would fall in love with each other.

"Well, they won't have any diseases like in my previous world, I can bring some girls here from other places, but that is not something I should do, after all, even for me, creating a new life out of nothing is not possible," Artemis sighed hearing his words.

Just the idea of everyone in this land having Nikol's blood was insane to her, as that makes him some kind of a deviant more than an emperor, but none of them knew at that time, that the real situation will be completely different.

After naming more than 3000 children, Nikol felt bored as it was an extremely repetitive task. He was still excited to see babies and the girls, that are going to be mothers, but right now, he wanted some change of pace.

"I'm going to meet the girls, Artemis, tell the other girls to come back tomorrow," Nikol said and vanished from his place giving a headache to Artemis.

"This is absurd! I didn't see this ending like this," She said with a tired look and went to give the message to the girls, that were waiting with happy faces only to spoil their mood with this sad news, but all of them went back without being stubborn which really surprised Artemis because of how obedient these girls were.

Nikol stood on the outskirts of the elven city on the wall of ancient trees, his gaze fixated on the vast expanse of the night sky. Stars twinkled overhead, illuminating his face with a soft celestial glow. The anticipation within him grew, mingling with a sense of trepidation as he pondered what fate had in store for him.

"So this is the universe, that I couldn't see before," Unlike when he was human, Nikol saw something beyond the night sky, but only he knew about what it was.

As he traced the constellations with his eyes, a particular luminary caught his attention—the brilliant full moon that will come in another few days. Its radiant beauty hung in the heavens, casting an ethereal glow upon the land below. Nikol knew that when the next full moon graced the night sky, it would herald the arrival of yet another dreaded assault from Jormungand, a fearsome beast of the elder brother of Fenrir that haunted his life.

But things were different this time, as he knew that Jormungand was no apocalypse like Fenrir, Leviathan or Phoenix.

*Sigh

"Fenrir! Come out, I know you're in there in the prison I built for you inside my body, you can no longer control my body," Nikol said and suddenly a little pup-looking wolf came out causing it to growl at Nikol.

"I see, you're no different from the other two," He said as quickly restrained his limb without even letting it move. "That's too bad, I wanted to kill you when you were in your right mind, but I won't wait because your wish is to die anyway,"

Nikol said and remembered about how much new information and knowledge he had to absorb after he went through this body change, and wondered on what purpose they were assigned to kill him.

"Just because of your race, you have no option but to kill me, it's hilarious but sad, we all are tied by the universal rules and unlike these inferior humans and others, we are the most affected by them,"

Nikol said and held Fenrir by its neck and started choking him without even letting it growl.

"You knew this would happen someday if you gave birth to me, still you went ahead and did that, what were you even thinking? As soon as you came inside Tisha's ancestor, you should have known, what would happen if you willingly cum inside a second dimension woman," Nikol's grip on the little violet wolf became even more tight rendering it unconscious.

"Now, I will make your wish come true, you can have the death you have been longing for, I will give it to you,"

He poured every ounce of his being into the suffocating grip, his determination driving him forward. "It ends here, Fenrir. Your reign of control stops now! You were just a parasite that lived inside my body, but I will forgive everything, because you brought me into this world,"

Fenrir thrashed beneath Nikol, his monstrous form weakening with each passing moment. "Pshhh... grrrrr... Grrrr," he growled, his voice a mere whisper.

With a final gasp, Fenrir's body went limp, his once fierce eyes now vacant showing the end of the fierce apocalypse.

The wall fell silent, the only sound the heavy breathing of the victorious Nikol. He released his hold on Fenrir's lifeless form, standing tall as a testament to his indomitable will. The weight of the battle lifted from his shoulders, replaced by a profound sense of accomplishment.

"The world is safer without you, Fenrir," Nikol whispered, his voice carried away by the wind. "May peace finally prevail over you,"

Nikol looked at the body and it disappeared into nothingness, but in reality, Nikol used it as a core to strengthen this world even more. Even though it wasn't the original body of Fenrir, it had more power than the empty vessel that Apollo controlled, so he had no reason to hesitate.

And with that, Nikol turned his back on the fallen beast, carrying with him the memories of a battle that they went through and all the hard times.

"Should I kill Phoenix and Leviathan? Are they also suffering because of immortal life like him? In the end, Fenrir was just as pathetic as other creatures, even though people thought, they were perfect creatures,"

The moon continued its watch over the ancient forest, casting its gentle light on the triumph of a warrior who had vanquished the untameable without any struggle, without anyone knowing.

Were they trapped in an existence of eternal suffering, just like Fenrir? Were they prisoners of their own perfection, forever yearning for something beyond their grasp?

In Nikol's mind that question remained.

Lost in his thoughts, Nikol's footsteps led him to a secluded clearing, bathed in the gentle glow of moonlight. It was here that he decided to take a moment of respite, seeking solace in the embrace of the group of women, that were waiting for him at the bottom of the wall.

With determination etched upon his face, Nikol resolved to seek out Phoenix and Leviathan, the immortal beings who shared the burden of their existence.

"I will save both of them, after all, they are not strangers to me anymore,"

"As long as I have them, I can do it, I won't end up like Fenrir, when the next moon comes, I will end everything,"
