-Chapter 156: Bet-

"Whoever doesn't risk doesn't win, Mike always said that."-Har said briefly remembering the incredible skills that Mike showed when they played poker in his past life.

After thinking about it for a bit, he finally made up his mind to stay on the third floor, not out of greed or anything like that, but because he still hasn't completed the goal he set for himself, to take responsibility for his own actions and finish what he started. ,or in other words,disappear all the demons of the human world.

He doesn't care if at the end of the time limit he fails the mission and he doesn't receive an evaluation, he believes that he can recover these points at any time, either by selling items at a high price or completing the first floor again.

That's right, even though he planned not to sell items that can be used against him, he still thinks that he can sell things like low-level potions, minerals, and junk items from the game that can be seen as something amazing in the real world.

Back on topic, Har chose to stay on the third floor and the tower alert just went away.

…

"Hurry up, those monsters have already arrived!!"

On the ground below the demons, the elders and the other people who stayed behind panicked, they could see above them the silhouettes of the demons flying in the sky, so they wanted to put rockets on their feet and get out of this place as soon as possible. before.

"Haaa…haa…"

In the background of everyone, a white-haired old man was breathing hard, he pressed his hand to his chest, and it seemed that his heart was suffering at the moment, this is Uncle Ben, he has been trying his best to stay out of the others so far, but his old body can't take it anymore.

It's just that, remembering how he still has a wife and nephew to feed, Ben Parker wiped the sweat from his forehead with his shirt and began to walk with slow steps, with each step his vision became more cloudy, like If I were walking towards the gates of death.

In the distance, Uncle Ben could vaguely see the silhouettes of the others who kept running, then he could see how someone turned in his direction, but he wasn't looking at him, but something behind him, without even being able to think about it, his body collapsed to the ground and he passed out.

…

"Ugh…"

After an unknown time, Ben Parker woke up as if he woke up on a Sunday afternoon after a nap, he held his head in a daze and everything he saw seemed unreal to him.

Unlike the previous post-apocalyptic environment, now he rests on a comfortable simple bed with a red mattress and white pillows, looking around he noticed that he was inside an unknown room, right in front of his bed there is a window without glass, on the other side he can see a waterfall that keeps the room cool.

If it wasn't for the fact that he felt pain when pinching his skin, Uncle Ben would actually believe that he had passed through the gates of death and was in another life.

"Uncle Ben! Are you okay?"

At that moment, a voice that he knew very well reached his ears and Ben reacted immediately, then, he could see the appearance of someone familiar entering through a wooden door on the side of the room.

"Peter, it's you!"-Uncle Ben's face was filled with joy when he saw his nephew Peter from him, he forgot for a moment about the abnormal situation around him and stood up again. immediate.

"Uh?"

Ben was puzzled as soon as he walked a bit, he originally thought that he would have a hard time walking to hug his niece, but something seems to be abnormal in his old body.

"Uncle Ben, what's wrong?!"-Peter worried a lot about his uncle, he ran to his side immediately preparing to support him if necessary.

He had already heard Ben let out a groan before, it wasn't a problem for Peter's heightened senses to hear it, so he hurried to this place.

Before he thought it might not be that serious, but seeing how Ben was lost in thought about him now he really made him worry, what if something really happened to Uncle Ben, Peter thought maybe he has some hidden injuries.

'No, that's not possible!'-Peter shook his head and forgot this idea immediately, he seemed to know something that was unknown to Uncle Ben.

"I'm fine, it's just… I feel that all my pains have disappeared."-Uncle Ben was really surprised, he could feel that his body had improved and the diseases of age were not present, as if he had returned to his youth.

Peter was glad to hear it, his face flushed with anticipation and then he said excitedly, "That's because your diseases were cured, Uncle Ben."

"What?"-Uncle Ben was perplexed for a second, he almost believed for an instant what his beloved nephew said, but that's impossible.

Back pain and tingling knees are normal things for people your age, it's okay to relieve pain with medication, but you don't believe that there is a way to cure all your diseases, if there really is a way in this world for sure it would be hoarded by the rich and would never be used on a common old man like him.

"Stop talking nonsense, where have you been around?, aren't you hurt?, by the way, where is this place?, where is May?"-Uncle Ben thought that he just didn't feel pain at the moment, so who started looking at Peter from head to toe and asked with concern.

"Well, that... is a bit complicated."-Peter understood that Uncle Ben didn't believe his words, he wouldn't believe it either if he didn't experience the sensation of drinking that liquid before. Then he smiled a little before saying: "It's better that I see for yourself."

"...?!"

In confusion, Uncle Ben followed Peter out of the room, then Uncle Ben gasped at the sight outside.

When leaving the room, he found himself at the end of a corridor, to the right of his room there were at least a dozen doors identical to his, it is estimated that they are similar rooms, but that is not the most surprising thing, but the incredible view to the left of your room.

He could dimly see the ground in the far distance from here, he approached the stone security wall and peered down.

"Bu, Peter, what kind of place is this?"

Uncle Ben struggled to say these words and moved away from the wall in fear, he seemed to have seen something terrifying that made him step back trembling a little.

"This is the exact place where you passed out, and everything you see was built by Mr. Steve, the same man who returned your body to a healthy state."-Peter responded immediately and seemed happy to show Ben Parker, his Uncle, building your new idol, Steve.

If we were to see everything from the outside, we could notice that they are both several tens of stories high, they are on the top floor of a tall building similar to a small skyscraper.

There are several similar buildings forming a square, there are at least 4 of them and each one has about 30 floors, each floor has 20 rooms, 10 rooms in front and 10 of her behind.

The four buildings are connected to each other through a "bridge" that connects a corridor between buildings every 5 floors, the funny thing is that these "bridges" are not supported by anything which is a bit scary.

Uncle Ben was frightened by the high-altitude views, but if he saw the bases of the building he would faint again, because none of the four of them are really on the ground, but they remain levitating in the air as if by magic, there are only stairs connecting to a separate place at least ten meters below the first floor of each building.

This place is the reception, only a three-story building that can be used for business, on the first floor there are two doors next to the reception that lead to the second floor, in addition, there are two doors on the left and right, each It has a staircase that connects to the first floor of a different building, obviously both these stairs and the reception itself remain levitating.

The wooden double doors that are supposed to be the entrances to the reception, even being the place closest to the ground, are several meters high and it is practically impossible to get there without help.

In addition, the buildings have parts built with different materials, some even seem to be made of earth, stone and wood.

"Built? Wait! How long was I unconscious?"

Uncle Ben didn't have time to ask about this guy Steve, despite being an old man he still hasn't lost his brain cells and is able to think clearly, so he noticed an important point in Peter's words, if all this was built right on the place where he fainted, which was originally a plain on the outskirts of a military base, doesn't that mean that he remained in a coma during the entire period of the construction of these buildings?

Uncle Ben began to panic thinking about this, what happened to those monsters during this time?, what happened to May?, he thought that to build something like this it takes at least a year at least, so what? What happened to humanity after that night? Were they repressed and forced to live in this place? Could it be that all the survivors live here? However, all their doubts were thrown away by Peter's next words .

"Uncle Ben, everything is fine, judging by Mr. Steve's words, it should only have been about 40 minutes since you passed out, so calm down, okay?"-Peter said trying to reassure Uncle Ben, who is beginning to hyperventilate

"Ah... I see, it's only been 40 minutes..." -Uncle Ben sighed in relief upon hearing Peter, then he was stunned and his eyes rolled back as his brain processed what he had just heard.

"What?! How is that possible?!"-Uncle Ben couldn't believe this and was even more confused, he even began to think that there was something wrong with Peter.

If any stranger were to hear that, Peter's mental health would surely be questioned, but if someone were to see the buildings from the outside, Peter's own mental health would certainly be questioned.

How would it be possible to build not just a stable structure with inconsistent materials, but a small 30-story skyscraper, in just 40 minutes? Also, how does it stay in the air without being supported by anything?

The answer to all this resides in a single person, on the heads of Spider-Man and Uncle Ben, at the top of the four buildings, a kind of emerald green pyramid was built here, each of its points is it joins one of the buildings and gives it a special touch from a distance, as if all four were specially linked by this pyramid giving the impression that it is a single construction.

At the top of the pyramid, a very ordinary-looking man placed a crystal object at the top, at that instant, an extremely magical sound was heard from the newly placed object, and a pillar of light shot up into the night sky, yes. before this construction was strange and a bit magical, with this pillar of light that extends to the top of the sky it has undoubtedly become one of the wonders of this world.

Obviously, everything was built by Har using the materials from the first floor, so it is normal that the huge tower formed by four small skyscrapers can levitate tens of meters without being supported by anything.

Minecraft materials are literally out of this world, they are not affected by gravity and it should be possible to even build a whole new continent, either underwater, on land or levitating in the sky, who knows, maybe even can build in space.

As for the development of events in the last hour, it's quite simple, Har kidnapped the chasing demons that remained not far away and saved the citizens who had been left behind, most of them were elderly, disabled or sick, they were all exhausted to the extreme because of everything that happened tonight.

Noticing how scared they were to see him in imperfect sage mode, Har thought that this might be the next side, not as a demon king, but as the savior of humanity, thus he demonstrated his good intentions by giving a regeneration potion to Uncle Ben, who was lying on the ground.

Thanks to the fact that everyone saw how the demons disappeared, plus the speech of their fanatic Spider-Man, who had arrived at some point after deciding to help him to save his family, these people began to accept Har, even more because of the joy that he saved their lives.

Then they all sensed that this Steve guy cared too much and had a fortune, he even offered to build houses for them, but how long would it take to build such a thing, just as they were all about to ask him to walk them home A lot of people similar to Steve came from a distance.

With the orders and materials delivered by Har, the clones that had earlier been sent to kill the surviving demon army set out.

These guys not only possess Har's attributes but even have his abilities, Har hadn't stopped to think about it before, he only noticed something now that he used these guys to build outside the first floor this time, the fact that these guys possess the inventory certainly came as a bit of a surprise.

With their speed, it was not a problem to build these buildings in less than an hour, all the citizens, including Peter, were stunned from start to finish seeing how the clones put up a large construction very quickly.

These buildings are like an anti-flood and anti-earthquake fortress, also, whenever the residents are in danger, next to the buildings there is a cascade of water that comes out of nowhere, despite it sounding crazy, they can jump headfirst without no problem.

In this dark night of tragedies and sorrows, the light from the lighthouse shone in the sky drawing the attention of people in the distance, even though the tower was still quite large it was almost imperceptible to the eye due to the deep darkness.

For the unfortunate people this seemed to be a light of hope, so they started walking to this place thinking that it was the coming of the gods or something similar, after all, there must be angels in heaven if there are demons from hell to Keep the balance.

They don't know it, but for the residents of this tower it would soon be like that, because right now...

"With this, everything would be ready."

Har took an emerald out of nowhere and soon it disappeared from his hand, it appeared on the holographic screen in front of him and now he could choose a power that would be emitted by the beacon he followed.

He had an idea in mind and wanted to check it out, can the residents of the tower receive the blessing of the lighthouse too? This is just one of the reasons why he built this tower, but if possible, then he will have recreated the situation in the world. real on this floor, that is, ordinary people who get incredible power from the magic tower that appeared out of nowhere.

Thinking of this, he immediately chose the main power "Force II" and at that precise moment, the effect of this power applied to himself, moreover, the people inside the tower were dumbfounded as they felt an unknown force in their own bodies. ,as if they suddenly gained great power.

Har then inserted another emerald and chose the secondary power "Regeneration", now he had come out of his imperfect sage mode, so their virtual hearts began to ripple again as a new effect appeared in his field of vision, he could see how the duration of effects is reset to make them infinite.

Unlike him, Uncle Ben, Peter, or the others in the tower couldn't see this and weren't fully aware of what's going on, they could just feel a slight change inside and weren't incapable of knowing exactly what it was. Still, they felt much more confident for some reason.

"Uh?, uhg, aaaaah!!!!"

In one of the dark rooms, a man in his 30s with a missing leg couldn't sleep and just stared out the window, obviously, who could sleep on doomsday? He was just remembering all his past with concern, however, he was suddenly stunned to notice a slight change in his body.

He was confused at first, but he seemed to see something incredible and choked on his own saliva, then screamed in shock.

"My God!"

He had lost his leg in an accident during work, but at this moment, he witnessed his leg growing back from the bones slowly, he thought that this was definitely a miracle from heaven.

"God has not really abandoned this world..."-Crying tears of joy, the man closed his eyes and raised his head to the sky, praying all kinds of thanks with great devotion.

A similar situation occurred in many other rooms, the people here were left behind for some reason, so their injuries and illnesses slowly healed, gradually people came out of their rooms and looked at each other with mixed emotions, but they all had one thing in common, joy at having recovered.

Uncle Ben and Peter looked at the people coming out of their rooms, they were confused and did not understand what was happening, but at that moment, a silhouette appeared from nowhere under the ceiling as if it were a ghost, all the eyes of the people who had gone out into the corridors in this part were nailed to this silhouette, some began to think that perhaps this person has something to do with their situation.

"Mr. Steve!" Peter yelled excitedly immediately, and even Uncle Ben paid him more attention because of this, he immediately noticed the pair of wings on his back and was stunned.

"Do you know what's happening? Everyone suddenly came out..."-Peter was confused, even so, he could feel better than anyone that there was something out of the ordinary with his body, like the feeling of obtaining great power that he had previously experienced.

Even Uncle Ben felt strange, although he had regained his health now, he could feel that his body was much stronger and more stable.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Har could deduce that the beacon's power really did take effect on them, but although it can be heard as good news, it only means that others can use this power without his permission.

He still has to find a way to limit this power to himself, or even better, a way to possess this power without needing the pyramid, maybe there is some way to control this power as his own.

Putting this aside, Har concentrated on his current situation, he must end this and then continue hunting demons, so he improvised a speech to explain to everyone what happened.

"If you feel something abnormal in your body, you shouldn't worry, because it is nothing bad, on the contrary, I have given great power to all the residents of this place, it is up to you to decide whether to stay in this place or leave, but something I can guarantee you, that is that you will be safe in this place."

As soon as Har said this, everyone understood that his wounds must have been healed by this power that was given to them by Steve, so they marveled and began to think big.

Har did not care what these people would do, he looked at Peter and said a few words before disappearing as if by magic.

"As you asked, I already found your Aunt May, she should be here shortly."

Peter was happy to hear it, but he couldn't thank Steve since he suddenly disappeared, regarding Uncle Bem, he was also overjoyed by this news, they both wanted to go down to receive May at the entrance.

Returning to the previous military base in the distance, Har had returned to his Imperfect Sage Mode state with the End Crystal on his back, he took out a crystal vial and placed his hand on it, the creature inside was still sound asleep. and was thrown to the ground with force.

Ugh!"

Lilith, who had just woken up, was kicked hard and sent flying several meters, she tried to get up immediately, but the side effects of the previous fight were severe, she spat out strange blood and fell to the ground without strength, still, she began to use his healing technique consuming vitality.

"Tell me the truth, are there other devils like you?"

Har appeared next to Lilith in an instant and stomped her head into the ground.

Lilith immediately understood what this guy wanted to do, he surely looks for the other demon lords in the human world, he really doesn't want to answer even if they kill her, but she was a little scared since she had seen Mephisto himself locked up before, can she resist someone with that kind of power?

She's in critical condition right now, not to mention the bloodlust mode, she shouldn't even be able to use her own power like before.

With her cheek being trampled on, Lilith gave Har a glare, she hoped that his body could be restored to an optimal state to fight to the death, but how could Har just wait?

He took out a sharp diamond sword and plunged it hard into Lilith's back through her body.

"Ahh!!"-Lilith screamed in pain, she really didn't expect this guy to do this move, but then, Har lifted Lilith's body holding the sword and kicked her sending her flying.

'Tch, you bastard!'

Lilith got angry at being treated like trash, she opened her injured wings to stop her flight and try to run away.

At the same time, Har swung the sword aside, splattering the strange blood of demons, then disappeared from the spot.

Just when Lilith was about to fly into the sky and get lost in the darkness, Har appeared in front of her making her shudder in fear.

woosh-*

Lilith flapped her wings and rose a bit, only to be stopped by Har, who held one of Lilith's wings with her left hand preventing her from flying, it was quite an easy thing since Lilith wasn't in the room. best moment of her now.

Lilith gritted her teeth and tried to fly with her other wings to escape from her at high speed, but Har turned and yanked her hard, throwing her body to the ground again.

Bam!*

Lilith crashed hard, but this was not enough to stop her, she still wanted to flap her wings, so Har appeared, stomping Lilith's back to the ground, held her wings with his left hand and cut them with his sword. in his right hand.

"Aaah!!!"

Lilith screamed again, this time it was much worse than before, but Har didn't care, he threw Lilith's wings to the side of her like they were garbage, then grabbed Lilith's head and raised it looking into her eyes. .

'W-what?'

Lilith was confused as she noticed an extremely strange change in Har's eyes, red patterns suddenly formed, and Lilith's information was exposed to her opponent.

"This is your last chance, Kiskillilla Lilith."-Har directly exposed Lilith's name and threatened her, though he wouldn't kill her now, he would later if he can't get any good out of her by using her to brew potions.

Regarding Lilith's lifespan, he quickly converted to human time and determined it in an instant, it's about 17,000 years, it's just that the number keeps dropping rapidly as Lilith tries to recover from her injuries.

Although it sounds incredible, she didn't give it too much thought either, demons are seen as a long-lived race in myths and legends and fantasy stories.

Also, he can really reach this lifespan if he wants to, after all, he has the advantages of the Shinigami subrace, he can get the remaining lifespan of the people he kills using the Death Note, one has to consider that he already killed two Forgotten Labyrinth bosses with this, so the half of his life he gave in exchange for the Shinigami eyes should have returned by now.

Back on topic, although it is said that Shinigami can only see the names of humans, they never encountered other species such as demons to try in the original work, but now, although Har was able to obtain Lilith's name and remaining time, it's still unknown if he can kill other species besides humans with the Death Note, so getting the information from Lilith isn't that incredible either.
