Demon Lord's Reincarnation

The tear in space grew larger and larger, the skies became darker, the ground continued to shake, and as all of this was going on somebody spoke in Ren's mind.

'I already know what your answer is going to be but I still need to say it. The one coming through that tear is an Old God, in your current condition the chances of victory are almost nonexistent. I would want to say that you should flee, but as a reincarnation of me that was never an option, right?'

'Heh, if you already know the answer then why bother asking?'

'You do understand that you will die here and there will be no one to face the ORIGIN.'

'If it were you, will you flee?'

'Heh, of course not. Still, I already told you once before that if you die now there might not be a multiverse where we could reincarnate into as the ORIGIN might have destroyed it already, and unlike before no matter who among us takes over your current body the chances of winning are the same. Even then will you not flee?'

'Of course, I will never flee, never again. Besides if I can't handle something like this then how should I face the ORIGIN in battle?'

'Fine, I still had a backhand prepared just in case, I didn't want to use it but I guess if the time comes I will have no choice. So if this will be the end at least be sure to show me an end worthy of my reincarnation.'

'Of course!'

After that the original incarnation no longer spoke, Ren stared at the growing spatial tear in front of him with that vicious smile on his face. Ren placed back the death scythe into his shadow and took out his sword Snertal.

Now that his spiritual supply and his stamina were nearly drained using the death scythe that uses a lot of both was not ideal, so instead, he took out his favorite sword which was powerful and can help him preserve his Qi.

It was at this moment he remembered his idiotic son from before when he was Demon Lord Kretos. That day when that idiotic son gifted him his first defeat was the greatest joy in his life. Now just thinking about having this glorious end fighting against a True God a so called Old God made Ren feel joy like no other.

'If this is truly the end, this time I will die even more brilliantly than before.'

Ren did a quick check of his current state, the left hand was okay, and the right was still a little numb but he could move it for a few seconds. Ren's Qi was at an all-time low, but due to his ability to absorb the surrounding Qi, he was still able to make a few moves, but because of the lower amount he could not use his usual passive abilities.

'Still, this is enough I'm able to continue fighting.'

Ren licked his lips as he continued to stare at the growing space tear. The power he felt within the space tear was quite powerful.

'If I had faced this Old God at my peak state... What am I thinking, actually thinking of what-ifs? Heh, I guess I really am at the end of my rope, to even think of such foolish things.'

Ren shook his head trying to remove all the unnecessary thoughts. he needed his mind to be clear as he needed to focus everything on this battle. As an incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul, it wasn't difficult for Ren to get into a battle state quickly.

...

The tear in space finally stopped growing, and it was a few billion kilometers in length, one could only imagine what kind of being was about to pass through it. A giant larger than a planet steppe out from the tear and appeared before Ren, at this distance Ren could not even see the shape of the enemy, all he felt was a distortion of some of the natural laws.

"We finally meet, oh Strongest Mortal Soul." A voice spoke directly in Ren's ears, it was a pleasant-sounding voice which was a surprise.

"Heh, this is surprising, are you still sane?"

"If you're asking if I have been corroded by the madness of the ORIGIN, then the answer would be yes and no."

"Hoh, so you haven't fully succumbed to the madness, then what are you doing here?"

"I have come to take you away. If I offer you up to the ORIGIN, this whole ordeal might end."

"How foolish, do you truly believe that would work?"

"It is worth a try."

"Is that so?... Well then, do you truly think you can take me?"

"If it were the original you, then it would've been suicidal to come here if it had been Rei Kuraki that would've been a near-impossible feat to accomplish, but you not to mention the current you who has been in a hard battle, capturing you should be possible."

"It seems the Gods have forgotten their fear of the Strongest Mortal Soul, then allow me to remind you."

Ren raised Snertal upward as it roared wildly at the Old God in front, as a dragon a race full of pride and power even now as a sword Snertal would never allow looking weak in front of a God. The roar was a signal for the Old God to begin his attack as he tried controlling Ren's time but to no avail.

"As expected of an incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul, the law of time does not affect you."

Ren moved far away from the Old God, he appeared a few thousand kilometers away from the Old God, but despite being so far away Ren could still not see the form of the Old God, all he could see was a white wall.

"Hmph, is the Strongest Mortal Soul fleeing?"

"Heh, who would flee from the likes of you? I was just getting some distance so I can see what you look like."

"Hmph, if that's all you wanted, then you just need to tell me." The white wall disappeared and then someone suddenly appeared before Ren. It was a humanoid-shaped being made of some sort of white mass. There were no eyes, ears, nose, or mouth it was just white flesh in a shape of a human.

"Heh, so you're bald."
