Self-proclaimed God and Modest Human

Rope looked at the dumbfounded Katsuhisa and thought that the scene in front of him was a little too pleasing to the eye. This guy didn't deserve Rope's pity. Punch him as many times as he could, and Rope was down for the count.

If the future changed, it changed, and Rope didn't think he could handle this kind of shit anyway.

Rope looked at Katsuhisa, who was lying on the ground, a little confused as to what to do, and there was murderous intent in his eyes. Flames once again jumped up into his fists, Rope's eyes glowing coldly and his hands burning hot.

He looked at Katsuhisa and threw a fierce punch.

This punch looked ordinary, and it even felt like Rope didn't use much force. But in fact, this move Rope really used his full strength, seemingly ordinary, not even the red flame, but all of his current flame fusion together product. Bursting, attaching, penetrating, attacking the spirit, burning life, burning energy.

This punch could be said to be Rope's strongest strike.

A great sound, an elephant without form.

This move of Rope's was truly considered a return to the basics.

Katsuhisa felt as if she had been stabbed in the head the moment Rope swung his fist, and the coldness ran from the soles of her feet to her head, as if her entire body had cooled down.

Katsuhisa knew that this feeling was the standard between life and death with great terror. He had only felt this way when he was very young, when his father was holding a knife to his head.

In the next instant, Katsuhisa used his entire body's strength before his body, which had already cooled down a bit, regained the ability to move, and white light flashed around him.

Rope's fist blasted into the ground. It quickly retracted.

Rope made a retreat, withdrawing into the middle of the large plume of smoke and dust that had been stirred up by his punch.

His punch had missed. It was a bit unfortunate, but Rope wasn't too surprised. After all, if Katsuhisa was really that easy to kill, he was sure he shouldn't have seen Katsuhisa again before he crossed over. He didn't think he'd still let the guy go if the opportunity allowed it.

To kill him would be to force that woman, or even the guy behind that woman, to take on the world herself, or that Arceus'.

That's why even though Rope hadn't been able to accomplish his mission, he would never give up if he had the chance. It wasn't as if the Katsuhisa of the past wouldn't die just because the Katsuhisa of the future didn't. Although he didn't know exactly what kind of strength was needed to change the future. But Rope would definitely do what he could.

And in the middle of the void, Year, who was currently watching this scene, frowned.

"This child is a bit anxious, timeline closing is not something he can break through right now."

The Queen looked somewhat helplessly at the chains on Rope that only they could see.

That was the timeline's constraint on these people who wanted to change the past and future. Either they break free and complete the change. Or break free and be unable to change.

While Year silently shook his head and said, "It's inevitable, the timeline constriction is not something that even you can break so easily."

"En~"

The Empress looked at Year with a dissatisfied face. Although what Year was saying now was not a lie, but were such words that zapped people's hearts able to be said so easily?

"You yourself are not known for your strength in battle." Year, on the contrary, had a face that was oblivious, like he didn't even care that he had just said the wrong thing and made someone unhappy.

"If the Empire's side is going to make you all have to go to war. Then the empire is really just about extinguished."

This is also not a joke, the main basis for the empire to choose a successor, one is the ruling ability, the second is the royal bloodline, and the third is strength.

That's right...the ruling ability is the first, not the royal bloodline does not matter, the big deal is with the princess or prince marriage.

If the prince or princess has the ability, there is no need to care about anything else.

As for why strength wasn't valued so highly...

There are too many people in the empire who can fight. It doesn't matter if the boss can fight or not. But the empire's boundaries were simply too vast... so vast that if it wasn't the kind of thing that could be dominated by simply learning about it.

One had to be a genius at governing in order to not be so stretched in terms of governance.

The basics of governing weren't even that hard to learn for these powerful people. But the upper limit of any one thing could be said to not exist at all. The thing that constrains such a ceiling can only be said to be people.

That's why there are always people who have such a talent to be able to go and rule this country well.

The empress in front of her was one of them.

"But this little guy's determination and confidence is a bit like yours back then."

The Empress looked at Year and pondered for a moment or couldn't help but say these words. She was truly seeing a minute of Year's shadow in Rope's body.

While Year smiled and shook her head, "Different people, different paths, there is no comparison."

"It's a fairness for people in the same situation to be put together to compete, but it may not necessarily not be a fairness for people in different situations to be put together to compete."

As the leader of a huge empire, the Empress was certainly not quite the same than someone like Year, who could only handle one company.

A company...wasn't even much of a top-of-the-pyramid organization in the Void.

But an empire, was really touching the threshold of the top.

But alas, the passing of the Empress and Year was a story for another time.

The current Rope didn't know that in the middle of the distant void, the Empress and Year were looking at him quite emotionally.

All he could think about right now was finding time to finish off this Katsuhisa guy.

Katsuhisa, who had just escaped from Rope's fist, was looking at Rope with an expression of nothing but fear and murderous intent.

This Rope fellow was really the most terrifying human's he had ever seen. He himself really saw death coming in that instant.

"Human, you are very powerful."

Katsuhisa spoke seriously, looking at Rope as if she was looking at something rare.

Rope, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and spoke, "You say I'm human, so what are you?"

The question Rope brought up clearly touched on Katsuhisa's g-spot. He tidied up his rather wretched grooming, then said confidently and seriously, "I have tamed the energy of the gods! I am, therefore, a god!"

Seriously, Rope's first reaction to hearing something like that was confusion...

Not that you're saying what's so great about gods anyway, everyone thinks about being a god.

You know, gods like Rayquaza and the others really haven't enjoyed the quality life of humans. Mew couldn't leave after being really exposed to the enjoyment of humans.

So what's so great about being a god? Obviously the life is not even as good as an ordinary human. And yet so many people were thinking of becoming gods.

Rope shook her head and said, "It's different for me, I'm just an ordinary human, today and in the future."

Even though Rope said that, Katsuhisa really felt bullsh*t when she heard that...you, a guy who nearly fucked my self-proclaimed god to pieces, claiming to be an ordinary human?

Please don't take the liberty of stretching the definition of ordinary human to such a high level! Asshole!

"Whatever you say." Katsuhisa didn't pay any attention to the weird Rope, so she silently raised her hand and formed a Psycho Cut in her hand.

In fact, this move was Psycho Cut, only it was performed by a human, and Rope had also seen Sabrina use Psycho Cut, only it was not comparable to the power of Katsuhisa's move in front of her.

Rope didn't panic either, his own flames coalescing around his hand in the same way, except instead of a fire blade, it was a single, flame-like Pokémon. There was Growlithe, but also Charmander, Chimchar, and other forms.

It looked lifelike and cute, but to really let down your guard against them because of that appearance was the most bullshit thing of all.

Katsuhisa felt the basic sensation she had when she saw those Pokémon, and it just felt like this Rope guy was ridiculously strong. He one thought he was the pinnacle of personal battle power. Even for calling himself a god. Of course he knew that he was still some distance away from being a god.

But this guy in front of him, if he wasn't some humanoid Pokémon, then this person was probably a god in the true sense of the word.

But why would a human become a god! This isn't scientific at all!

Rope didn't care about Katsuhisa's thoughts either, instead, looking at the current Katsuhisa, it suddenly occurred to him that he could take this opportunity to ask some good questions. Especially since the guy in front of him looked like he couldn't beat himself at all by looking at the ball.

"What exactly is your purpose for collecting Origin? Is it just to become a so-called god?"

Rope asked this in a normal way, but Katsuhisa, who heard it in her ears, wanted to spit out blood.

What do you mean by just being a so-called god?

Isn't the greatness and status of a god worth pursuing by a human? How many humans wouldn't be interested in becoming a god if they had the opportunity, the means, and the skill to do so?

Of course, if anyone else had said such a thing, it might have been acidic, but Rope clearly wasn't being acidic if he said such a thing.

He was in Versailles. At least that's what Katsuhisa thought.

In all honesty, Rope really didn't mean to brag, he really didn't think he knew.

Sometimes that's how the world works, what you desperately seek is most likely what others have within reach, but prefer not to care about.

Katsuhisa looked at Rope and didn't say anything, she just took off her monocle, then gently waved her hand and Psycho Cut stabbed directly towards Rope.

Rope looked at Katsuhisa who did it and silently shook his head, he still kinda wanted to talk to Katsuhisa. Before trying to figure out how to get him killed, it was also important to drain him of as much value as possible in terms of information. It would be best to pull out all the information he knew related to the Origin or the person behind it.

But now that the fight was on, he had no choice.

With a flick of his hand, the Pokémon in front of him all stepped forward to block those Psycho Cuts.In the end, these Psycho Cuts weren't weak, but they weren't so powerful that Rope couldn't handle them easily at the moment.

Katsuhisa wasn't a fool, although this was still a test move, the power was already one of the stronger skills he had at his disposal.

Rope looked at the Katsuhisa in front of him and really felt a lot of emotions!

The guy in front of him was really still in a state where he could be bullied. It didn't seem like a powerful character at all.

Even if it was powerful, it hadn't finally reached the state that made Rope feel that much fear after sixty years.

Katsuhisa was staring at Rope's movements with a deadly stare, alert to any possible movements Rope might make right now. At the same time, there was invisible psychic energy coalescing between his eyebrows, as if he was planning to give Rope a hard move at any moment.

In the next instant when he was cautious, Rope suddenly advanced to his side, holding a long sword made of flames, and slashed down towards Katsuhisa.

Katsuhisa's body flickered with light, and in the next instant, she appeared far to the side of Rope's diagonal.

Rope's slash missed, and then swung a punch in Katsuhisa's direction.

Katsuhisa's shield coalesced in front of her, blocking the blow. The fire fist explodes on the shield. Katsuhisa's vision is blocked. without delay, Katsuhisa immediately leaves the spot with another Teleport move and detonates the super shield in an instant.

Rope, who had reached the shield's proximity, watched Katsuhisa's movements with some surprise and nodded rather approvingly. Then the body dissipated, or turned into flames.

The explosion of the shield blows Rope's body apart. But in the next instant, Rope's body coalesces again. Returning to its original form.

Katsuhisa sighed helplessly at the scene before her...

He himself had wanted to run away a long time ago. That's why he had actually been testing Rope's determination to move the distance as well. He had Teleported again and again, longer distances than once, just to see just how far Rope could reach in an instant. Although Rope wasn't a super power department with Teleport's means. But the Fire Department was also an attribute known for its explosions.

If he himself couldn't quickly please, he would most likely put himself in danger.

After all, long-distance Teleport was physically exhausting. Even a god wouldn't keep utilizing this move to rush.

That was true, mind you, even Lugia, under normal circumstances, flew away.

Teleport, especially over long distances, could be used without it. It was simply too much effort.

Just as Katsuhisa shook his head and sighed, Rope reappeared close to him and said, "It's not that easy for you to run."

Katsuhisa looked at Rope and was a bit speechless for a moment. Rope made no secret of her murderous intent towards him. But he didn't even know how he offended Rope.

"I'm willing to leave this place and not be around anymore, how about you let me go now?" Katsuhisa helplessly opened her mouth to discuss with Rope, "It's not that easy for you to kill me, the depths of the Wetlands are filled with dangers, even for you and me, it's normal to encounter any dangers here if we're really out of strength."

"We don't have the need to fight viciously to the end."
