Sword God in a World of Magic

Alex gritted his teeth in hatred. "Thankful?!" he shouted. "You killed everyone who helped us!" "You killed Jerald!" "You killed all
the Mage Kings that helped us!" "You killed Agon!" "You ended all life on Aterium!" "You're a monster!" "HAHAHAHA!" Shang just
laughed. "And I feel nothing!" Shang shouted between laughs. "I feel zero guilt!" "I would do it again!" "And again!" "My eyes are
finally open!" "I can finally see my past self for what it truly was!" "Weak!" "l was weak!" "Empathy is weakness!" "Feelings for
others is weakness!" "In this world, you can only rely on yourself!" "HAHAHAHAHA!" Several powerful tears shot through
Shang's body, but he only continued laughing. "You're so pathetic, Alex," Shang shouted in laughter. BANG! Shang severely
injured Alex with one of his tendrils. Huge parts of Alex's body were torn off, and Shang just held Alex aloft with his torso. "And
you are the reason," Shang said with a smirk. "You're my weakness." "And for making me weak for so long, I am going to punish
you with the worst thing I can imagine." "An eternity of not being able to become stronger." Alex gritted his teeth in hatred.
"You're the God of this world now, Alex," Shang said with a smirk. "Can you feel it?" "The world?" "Aterium?" "That's you now." "If
Aterium dies, you die." "But I also made a little change since I'm not as nice as Lucius." "Yes, if Aterium dies, you die, but if you
die, Aterium also dies." "The silver walls are now intrinsically connected to your mind." "If you go unconscious or die, the silver
walls will stop functioning, and the things outside the silver walls will enter." "Alex, you're such a nice guy. Lucius said so, didn't
he?" "You wouldn't commit suicide if that meant destroying quadrillions of lives, right?" "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Shang laughed
loudly. Blood flowed out of Alex's mouth as he ground his teeth into dust. Alex hated Shang so much. Sadly, this was not a new
feeling. Shang had always suppressed Alex. Alex had always tried to convince Shang to have some friends by filling him with
regrets and guilt, but whenever that happened, Shang had outbursts and fought these feelings by killing more. And when Shang

killed Jerald, Alex had been fully locked away. Yet, Alex had still seen everything that Shang had done. To him, it had been like
someone had taken control of his body and forced him to commit atrocities. "Anyway," Shang said before throwing Alex to the
other end of the hall. "I think the wild and infinite outside is calling to me." "I hope you won't mind that I'm leaving you here to
keep things in check, right?" Shang said with a mocking chuckle. "Hey, at least I'm taking the Abominations with me. That's
something at least, right?" Shang turned around and laughed loudly. "Anyway, gotta go! Just stay where you are, okay?" The
next moment, a black portal appeared, and Shang floated through it. And then, the portal closed. Silence. Crk. Alex's nails cut
through the floor of the castle in hatred, suppression, and rage. Shang was gone. The next moment, Alex felt something change
beyond the silver wall. The Entropy was gone. But now, the unimaginable forces of Destruction were directly beside Aterium.
Luckily, the silver walls kept the forces of Destruction at bay. Alex knew that this was probably how Aterium had once been. After
all, the Abominations had only appeared something like a million years ago. At least, that was when the Archivist had noticed
them for the first time. Over a long period of time, a cloud of Entropy had formed around Aterium, and when that cloud had
reached a certain densitv. the Abominations had appeared. Since the cloud of Entropy was now gone, there also wouldn't be any
more Abominations. Additionally, since the Entropy gathered around Aterium only very slowly, it wasn't difficult for Alex to
disperse it again. This meant that not a single Abomination would appear in the world again. 'At least I kept that promise,' Alex
thought with regret. 'l'm sorry, everyone.' 'l'm sorry that l disappointed you.' 'Life on Aterium still underwent a reset, but at least

the Abominations are now gone.' Yet, that didn't help Alex's feelings at all. Alex also wanted to see the outside and become more
powerful. But now, he was stuck in Aterium. Forever. The next moment, Alex felt a Spirit Sense wash over him, and he gritted his
teeth in hatred. Abaddon! 'You are part of the reason why all life was eradicated!' CRRRRRRK! The next moment, an impossibly
hard and durable piece of metal shot out of the ground somewhere in Aterium. A moment later, the piece of metal was

compressed, and it changed its shape. SHING! The piece of metal vanished and appeared in front of Alex. It was a glowing
white sword! Alex's eyes opened in anger and hatred. SHING! Alex vanished. SHING! And reappeared in front of Abaddon, Kali,
and Gregorio. The three of them looked with surprise at the person in front of them. This guy looked a bit like Shang, but his
Aura was completely different. Alex looked with unending hatred at Abaddon. Alex was now the God of the world, and Aterium's
Mana was his Mana. Abaddon was still only a Peak Mage Emperor, which meant that over ten Peak Mage Emperors of Mana
were inside Aterium. Together with Alex's own Mana, he had access to more Mana than a normal God. Additionally, since Alex
knew everything that Shang knew, he also had all of Shang's techniques and experiences. This was someone with a sevenfold
Spirit Sense in the God Realm. Alex was a Sword God. Abaddon's eyes widened in terror. Alex lifted his sword. CRACK! Reality
tore apart. Abaddon was cut into bits and pieces of blood, which were then turned into tiny particles by millions of tiny cuts.
Abaddon was dead. Kali barely managed to react before the same thing happened to her as well. In an instant, their Mana was
scattered across the world. Yet, Alex didn't seem happy at all. Gregorio looked with terror and fear at the person in front of him.
"Shang?" he asked with uncertainty. "Is that you?" Alex took a deep breath. Then, he looked at Gregorio with narrowed eyes.
"You were complicit," Alex said. "Without you, Shang would have never been able to destroy the world!" "For your own selfish
goals, you were willing to sacrifice everyone and everything!" "You're not better than Shang!" Gregorio's being was filled with
horror. But Gregorio didn't have any opportunity to feel any more regret or horror. Alex killed him in an instant. Silence. Abaddon,
Kali, and Gregorio were dead. And Alex? He only put his head in his hands. He wasn't happy. He was stuck here. Forever. A
moment later, Alex looked at the sword in his hand with gritted teeth. He moved the sword to his neck. But then, his Spirit Sense
unwittingly went over the world. By now, life had recovered. It was beautiful. The world was beautiful. It was brimming with infinite
untapped potential like a newborn child. Alex looked back at the sword, and tears came out of his eyes. Eventually, Alex just
threw the sword to the side. He couldn't do it. He couldn't kill himself. He was stuck. In Aterium. Forever. The next moment, Alex
looked towards the south. Alex and the Archivist looked at each other. Alex didn't want to kill the Archivist. After all, the Archivist
had done his best to kill Shang. "I guess we'll get to know each other very well in the coming eternity," Alex said with a helpless
sigh. The Archivist looked with furrowed brows at Alex.
