The Death of A Hero

"W-What's happened to him !?"

Sereka asked shockingly.

"It doesn't look like that he turned to his berserk mode but something more dangerous than that. But what happened ?"

She thinks while looking at Sotean from that bubble.

"Well let me explain."

Michal said then he explains the whole incident to Sereka.

After hearing that, Sereka became dumbstruck and said.

"I...I still can't believe that he's that strong."

She said while putting her hand on her forehead.

Michal, Hoshima, and Orthonoxmus understand how she's actually feeling about that. It's the biggest and shocking truth she has ever heard.

"B-But what should we do now ?"

Sereka asked in a serious voice.

"Huh !?"

Hoshima responds confusingly.

"Huh !?"

Michal responds confusingly.

"Um..."

Orthonoxmus respond while thinking about the solution.

Sereka look at Michal and Hoshima and said in a bit of anger.

"Don't 'huh' me. Think about a solution to save him. If we haven't done anything soon then he ends up destroying himself."

She said then look at Orthonoxmus for his response.

Michal and Hoshima also look at Orthonoxmus for his response.

While they're looking at Orthonoxmus, Orthonoxmus is deep within his thoughts about how to save him.

After a while, he said in his serious voice.

"Well, first of all, we have to protect that unconscious time hunter from Sotean..."

After hearing what he said, Michal, Sereka, and Hoshima respond shockingly and confusingly.

"HAAAH !?"

"What the hell are you talking about ?"

Sereka said angrily to Orthonoxmus.

"It's not a good time to joke about."

Hoshima said in a bit of anger.

"Yeah. It's not a good joke too."

Michal said in a serious voice.

Hoshima and Sereka look at Michal with their empty eyes expressions.

After seeing their reaction, Michal asked confusingly.

"W-What ?"

Orthonoxmus sighed and said.

*sigh* "I meant to say is that.."

Everyone looks at him.

"...If Sotean kills the time hunter of 'B ranked virtual timeline' then he teleported back here and start destroying things here. That's why our first priority is to let Sotean stay there for a little while. Time Hunter is unconscious, so it won't be a problem."

Orthonoxmus said in a serious voice.

"Hm...Yeah. I think you're right."

Michal responds in a serious voice while putting his fingers on his chin.

"Yeah. I think you're right."

Sereka said while understanding the situation.

"Hm...But who will stop Sotean ?"

Hoshima asked a solid question in her sweet voice.

Michal and Sereka look at Orthonoxmus for his response.

"Well, Michal is the Time Traveller of Destruction. So, he will buy us time. At that time, Sereka also recovered her physical strength by the divine water of the lake. Then Sereka went there and stop Sotean by realizing his true identity."

Orthonoxmus said in a serious voice.

"Okay. Not a prob."

Michal said then smiles confidently.

"Um...Orthonoxmus. You're the God of Time, So why don't you stop Sotean with your divine power ?"

Hoshima asked nervously.

"HUH !? G-G-God of Time !?"

Sereka shouted shockingly while pointing her finger at Orthonoxmus.

"Ah...Seems like Michal has already told you about this. Well, because I'm not allowed to use my divine power if there's any possibility to do that work without using powers."

Orthonoxmus said in a serious voice.

"I see."

Hoshima responds while understanding the concept.

"Hey ! Don't ignore me. Tell me why don't you tell us before that you're the God of Time ?"

Sereka asked in an angry voice.

"W-Well, It doesn't seem important to me. That's why."

Orthonoxmus said in a bit frightened voice after seeing Sereka's anger.

"It Is Important."

Sereka responds angrily.

"Okay. Okay. I'm sorry."

Orthonoxmus said frightenedly.

"Well, I'm going now."

Michal said by cutting off their conversation.

"Hm. Okay. Try not to get yourself hurt too much."

Orthonoxmus said in a serious voice.

"I know you can do it. Good Luck."

Sereka said while praising him.

"Best of Luck."

Hoshima said with a smile.

Michal smiles back at them then he closes his eyes then teleported to the 'B ranked virtual timeline'.

As he teleported, he see that the time hunter of 'B ranked virtual timeline' who once was a huge gladiator, now turned into his small size ( The size same as Sotean and Michal) and lying on the ground, totally unconscious. Not only that but also, Sotean is standing in front of him with a wave of anger in his eyes.

He stands up his sword to kill him.

At the same time, Michal calls him.

"Hey! Sotean."

Sotean looks towards him with anger in his eyes.

"If you have enough courage to challenge me, then come on. Let's have a one on one match. Right now."

He said proudly with a proud smile.

Sotean runs towards him and appears in front of him.

"Oh, God. Not that fast."

Michal responds surprisingly.

Then Sotean launches a slice attack at him but luckily Michal's Synth appears in his hand and he blocks his attack but falls miles away because of too much force on that attack.

He then get up while panting a little and muttered to himself.

"Man, Now I can able to see that how Powerful does a Lord of All Time Travellers will be."

He smiles at Sotean.

By seeing his smile, Sotean scream angrily then run towards him in anger.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !"

Michal stand in alert mode and said with a little smile.

"Here it comes."

On the other side at the Place of Infinite Possibilities, Sereka steps inside the divine lake according to Orthonoxmus instructions.

"Now hold your breath for some minutes. It's not difficult under the divine lake."

Orthonoxmus said to Sereka.

"Hum."

Sereka respond and do as he said.

Hoshima is looking at Sereka worriedly.

"Don't worry. She will be fine."

Orthonoxmus said to Hoshima while patting her shoulder.

"Hm. okay."

Hoshima said then smiles.

Sereka closes her eyes and after a while, she sees so many stars and galaxies...And then a start came near her and starts shining brightly...All of a sudden her all physical strength returned to her.

She opened her eyes and see a yellow-colored aura around her body.

"Yes. Now I'm all ready."

Sereka said then she get out from the divine lake and said to Hoshima and Orthonoxmus.

"Now, I am going to save him."

She said proudly with a smile.

"Alright then. Best of Luck."

Orthonoxmus said.

Then Hoshima and Sereka close their eyes then leave the Place of Infinite Possibilities.

As they leave, Orthonoxmus sigh and said.

"Poor Girl...I hope that fate may change according to your hard work."

**Orthonoxmus also have the power to see the future. He is the God of Time, after all.**

Now, on the 'B ranked virtual timeline'

"UWAAAH !!"

Michal scream then fall away and then collide on a mountain bottom and cough some blood. His left hand is injured and right knee is bleeding and some Sketches on his right hand and face.

Smoke appeared and Sotean's red eyes is shining inside the smoke and his shadow is seen who is coming slowly towards Michal with the sword in his hand.

Michal look at Sotean and muttered with a smile.

"Well...I guess....that's my fate. Heh Heh Heh."

He closes his eyes in satisfaction.

But suddenly someones appeared in front of him.

"Huh !?"

He opens his eyes in amazement.

And surprised to see Sereka and Hoshima standing in front of him.

"God...Your timing is superb."

He said with a smirk.

Hoshima came towards Michal and said in worried.

"Michal. Oh My God. You're really so much hurt."

Michal put his left hand at Hoshima's cheek and said in a gentle voice.

"Don't worry. I'm fine."

"Michal."

Hoshima said surprisingly while blushing.

His left-hand hurts.

"Ow !"

He responded then hold his left arm in pain.

All his show-off turned into dust.

"Well, I think you're not fine."

Hoshima said while making an indifferent face.

While there, Sereka is looking at Sotean, and then she makes a fist in his right hand and her Katana appears. She said to Sotean while challenging him.

"If you want a fight...Let's roll."

She said with confidence in her voice.

"What is she doing ?"

Michal said shockingly after hearing that.

"Don't worry. She'll be fine."

Hoshima said with a smile while looking at Sereka.

"O-Okay. If you say so."

Michal said then he also look at Sereka.

Sotean gritted his teeth in anger then run towards Sereka while screaming.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !"

**He loses his senses because of the power of the Lord of All Time Travellers. Because, his body is not adapted to use this power that's why while using it, he loses his senses and attack everyone who came in front of him.**

Sereka rounds her Katana and blocks his slice attack.

Their faces came closer because of that. Then, Sotean see Sereka's face from that closer look, his eyes widen as he remembered her smiles.

"HAAAAH !"

Sereka pushes Sotean away.

Sotean step back and hold his head in pain and muttered.

"Se...Re...Ka.."

"Huh !?"

Everyone responds shockingly after hearing Sereka's name.

"I think he starts remembering."

Hoshima said in happiness.

"Really ?"

Sereka said while looking back towards Hoshima.

Then she look at Sotean and said.

"Sotean. It's me, Sereka. Do you remember?"

After hearing Her name again, Sotean repeats while holding his head.

"Se..Re..Ka.."

"Hah !?"

He responded to himself while widening his eyes.

He then look at Sereka and said.

"Sereka...My...Love-"

Before he finished his sentences, suddenly a golden sword from behind attack him at his stomach and pass out from his stomach.

"SOTEAN !!"

Everyone screams panicked.

Sotean realise that who did that.

"HEEEEAAAAHHH !"

He then swings attack at time hunter who is behind him and then cut down his head with his swing attack.

As time hunter disappeared just then. A golden-colored crystal stone appears.

Sotean grabs that stone. At the same time, volcanoes start bursting again because the planet is gonna be destroyed.

He throws that stone towards Michal. Michal catches the stone.

"Get away from here."

He said to everyone while looking towards the ground.

"What !? I never get away without you."

Sereka said angrily.

"Yeah. We never leave you."

Hoshima said in a bit of anger.

"That's true."

Michal said while agreeing with those two.

Sotean shouted angrily.

"GET AWAY NOW !"

Everyone looks at him frightenedly.

**It's true that Time Travellers returned immediately after the virtual timeline will be destroyed but if Time Travellers' life force is too low then it's difficult for them to return automatically. So, on the time like this...they have given the power to teleport. Sotean life force also weakens due to a huge injury to his stomach.**

Sotean looks towards everyone and smiles peacefully while saying.

"Thank You So Much for Everything. Goodbye."

"NO SOTEAN !!"

Sereka shouted panicky while forwarding her hand towards him.

But as he said then immediately they all teleported to the Place of Infinite Possibilities Without Sotean and the virtual timeline is destroyed with Sotean.

As they arrived, Sereka kneel down in shock, and Michal and Hoshima run towards Orthonoxmus and said in a panic.

"Orthonoxmus. Sotean..."

They said worriedly.

Orthonoxmus look down and said.

"I'm sorry. But he's gone."

By hearing that, Hoshima kneel down in shock too.

Michal look at Sereka's and Hoshima's condition and look disappointed then look towards the sky and muttered.

"Sotean...Why ?"
