Calamity Upon This World

What makes someone a god?

Is it someone with a lot of power?

Is it someone who can do the impossible?

Is it someone who is revered and worshipped by the people?

Is it someone who exists beyond mortal comprehension?

Someone who stands at the apex of everything?

The one who created everything?

Throughout human history, there have been a thousand different definitions for the qualifications of a god.

But something common among all these iterations is that a god is someone who stands at the pinnacle; in that case, what does that make someone who can make even a god tremble in fear?

**

Inside the world of memoirs.

The whole golden world trembled, reflecting the inner turmoil of its master.

Unlike his usual stoic and dignified state, Zephyr was breathing heavily, with a lot of sweat piling up on his face.

"In the end, I couldn't stop 'it; it looks like in my current state, I'm simply too weak to stop it."

"But it doesn't make sense. I can still sense the connection to my barrier; it's still holding up, so how did that 'thing' sneak past it and enter our world?"

The reason Zephyr was unable to respond to William earlier was because he was stuck trying to hold back that 'thing'.

But it seems in the end he failed, and 'it' managed to enter Astressa through William.

Zephyr had a lot of questions about what was going on, but he at least now had the answer to one question that had been troubling him ever since he first met William.

He now knew why someone who was born with seemingly everything like William ended up destroying all of existence.

After all, inhibiting his protege body was the only existence even he couldn't defeat.

[An ominous presence has entered the world.]

A single notification was displayed on the system screen of everyone who possessed mana globally.

This single message was enough to send the whole world into mass panic and hysteria.

Many people theorised that maybe another demon king had entered the world.

Some superstitious people proclaimed that the world was ending; others said that they had angered a God by advancing in technology too much.

Other cultists celebrated, thinking maybe their 'God' had finally answered their prayers.

But what no one could've predicted was that the one who had set foot on their planet was someone beyond their wildest imagination.

**

BOOOOOMMM!!!

A massive purple explosion occurred at the place William was lying, blowing Kaust away in the process.

[An ominous presence has entered your body.]

A single system message appeared in front of 'William' but was ignored by him.

As William now stood back on his own two feet, his whole demeanour and aura around him had changed.

Except for his usually pretty red eyes adapting a malevolent purple colour, the rest of his appearance was the same.

All his injuries had healed themselves, and the black suit he was wearing previously was now lost, so he donned a plain buttoned white shirt and black pants.

Despite there being no physical difference between William from before and now aside from his eyes, it was abundantly clear that the person standing was not William but rather someone far more evil and overwhelmingly more powerful.

'Wtf just happened? '

He thought, just seconds earlier, he was about to kill the boy who had been disrespecting him constantly.

And in the next moment, just when he had finally broken that pesky barrier of his, he was blown away by a purple explosion.

He had sustained some injuries from that attack, but it wasn't anything he couldn't heal.

After all, even among demons 6,000 years ago, his healing powers were above those of everyone else of his race.

After healing, he was about to go and finish the job, but out of nowhere, a frightening pressure descended upon him.

'What is this feeling? he thought.

His whole body was shivering; he couldn't even move. No matter what he did, his body refused to listen to him.

6000 years ago, during the era of war between demons and the rest of the world, he was subjected to the presence of many beings far above him in strength, the most notable of which was the one humans now refer to as the God of Mana Zephyr and the demon king.

But both of those existences were like mere ants compared to the being's pressure he was feeling right now.

For the first time in thousands of years, Kaust felt afraid; he felt like his life no longer even belonged to him and that even a single stupid action on his part would spell the end for him.

However, just when Kaust was about to give up and accept his fate, the overwhelming pressure suppressing him disappeared.

The moment he regained the ability to move, his first thought was using everything he had to run away and hoping that the person in front of him simply didn't care to chase after him.

But for some reason, he knew that the moment he turned his back on being responsible for him feeling this way, he would die.

There wasn't any specific reason for this other than the instinct honed through fighting and surviving countless battles, as well as participating in the deadliest war throughout the history of the world.

Now that he took a closer look at the boy, it was abundantly clear that the person in front of him wasn't the same kid he was thrashing around with moments ago.

His physical body looked like that of a little kid; his injuries had somehow completely healed themselves, but more importantly was the change in the colour of his eyes.

Those purple eyes were bright in tone and looked far more malevolent and evil than any demon he had ever seen or could imagine.

It was then that the entity inhibiting the boy's body finally opened his mouth.

"At long last, I've finally arrived at the mortal world again, all thanks to that idiot."
