Chapter 30 - Nearing the end

1 week after meeting Being X the whole world heard shocking news

A man went into the alliance alone and knocked unconcious everyone except the leaders, who he showed his supreme might, saying that he was a reincarnation of god himself, and he was here because they dissapointed him and will change things himself

They, of course didnt believe him. A reincarnation of god? Really?. But the power he showed is real, nobody in the alliance could match him

After calling over the holy maiden, they confirmed with their own eyes that the power this man wields is the same as her, but much more powerful

There is no more news after that, as they went into a deeper room to talk, but this already shocked many people

Some of the most paranoid people started to think 'Why are gods, holy objects and people appearing one after another? Could this be a sign that the end of the world is coming?'

After a few days, the whole strategy of the war on the side of the alliance changed, soldiers were recalled and deployed in another area, holy power was being used to buff soldiers, as Being X knows that he cant win alone, as his objective is to win agains the Empire in a strategy game against that fellow

...

I was in my office when the door opens

Tanya walks in like she is on her house

"Why did you call me? I was about to go killing more of those annoying people" She said, refering to the annoying people as Being X believers

"Hey Tanya, do you know that guy calling himself the reincarnation of god?" I asks, trying to lead her

"Yes, such a lie is indeed shocking to hear" She said, not believing the news

"But its true tough" i dropped the bomb on her

The room is silent

"What?" Thats the only thing she can say, as she is completly shocked by my words

"He is Being X, i sealed his powers and he is now the leader of the alliance, if you want to kill him now its your chance"

"You.. wait... what?" A confused Tanya cant process the situation

After a few minutes of sorting things, she calms down

"So, you are saying that he tried to destroy the Empire, as we were conquering the world too fast?"

"Yes"

"And you stopped him and sealed his powers?"

"Indeed"

"And right now he is leading the alliance, trying to win in a strategy game with you?"

"Thats absolutly right"

"... ... ... What a bullshit development" She deflates in the sofa

"Hey, i wanted to end him at that time, but that would be a boring end, so i thought 'Why not leaving him for Tanya so she can get her revenge?', and here we are"

"So you are telling me that he is a 'mortal' right now, but how powerful is he?"

"mmm.... lets use game levels as a reference, if you were lvl 10, then he would be lvl 25, he is much stronger than you but if you caugh him by surprise you can kill him"

She looks down and start to think many ways of fighting him

"How is he compared to Ainz?" She asks, as she saw the power of Ainz in his warrior mode

"Ainz? If he fought him in his undead form, the sealed Being X would die in a single spell. In his warrior form they will have a tie unless one of them make a mistake"

She now knows a little better the gap of power between Being X and her, as she saw Ainz in his warrior form, and he is very powerful, almost like a walking bulldozer

It has to be said that Tanya also leveled up on these 2 years, she went from transcended lvl 1 to lvl 4, its a huge power leap but still not enough. Her body also went from human lvl 9 to superhuman lvl 1, growing two realms.

"Just take it slowly, the war its not going to end in a year or two, so you can still grow in power. Just try to not let rage consume you and charge into the enemy base if you see him"

"I know, i still have much to grow, i felt that after fighting these 2 years. I will be training harder in order to kill him. Not if you excuse me" After saying that, she leaves the office, going to train harder than ever, becuase now she knows that Being X, the god who she once saw as an unreachable and overpowered beign is no longer unreachable, as she is nearing the power to kill him

...

Its been a year since the change of leaders in the alliance, the war continues, no side is gaining the advantage, either capturing one territory but losing another. This continued for this whole year

The war was bloody and crushing for the people, many families were shattered, many good people dying, but at this point doing a ceasefire is imposible, not only for the ammount of dead people on each side, but also because each side has a diferent religion, thinking that the other side is a demon

The alliance has a sealed Being X, being such a powerful man that it was despairing for the soldiers of the empire.

Its was until Aizn in warrior mode fought him

After more than 5 hours of fighting, Being X leaves with many wounds, while Ainz is mentally exhausted, as he was in full training mode, perfecting his warriors techniques. Why do a undead mage needs to know how to fight with a sword? Well, Ainz thinks that there will be some cases of him being deprived of his magic, only allowed to fight with a weapon... Damn that overcautious skeleton

After a fight that many soldiers called the fight between gods, the duo made a silent agrement of not fighting again... which was broken 1 week after the battle, as Being X attacked a base and Ainz was sent to defend.

Talking about someone else, Tanya went from Lieutenant Colonel to Senior colonel in only a year, being only 1 rank below the first general rank

She also went a few levels up, going from transcended lvl 4 to lvl 6, nearing the apex of the mortal realm

While Ainz was basically bothering the enemy leader, Tanya went into many assault to the enemy territories, the sad thing is that she still has the body of a superhuman lvl 1, so she cant take a bullet in the head without dying, so her assaults are still slow compared to her raw power in magic, as she doesnt want to die

Apart from that, the population of the world was cut by a 15% since the start of the war 3 years ago, if it keeps like this, then not even half the world is going to be alive when the Empire conquer the world

Population of the world: 82%, as it was 97% before the war

...

Another year filled with blood and corpses

The countries are starting to recruit even retired and old people, the lack of manpower is evident

Population of the world: 72%

Ainz is at 87% mana converted to death energy, while he is happy about that, he is also affected by so much death around him. If not for his emotional supressor, he would have gone depressed

Tanya has it better, as she was a little crazy to begin with. Speaking of Tanya, she went from lvl 6 to 7, a little slower than before

After two years of fighting Being X like a warrior, Ainz finally learned many ways to use a sword, rangin from parry, feint, counter, etc. He is almost like a master of the sword... considering his and this world's sword level

As for Being X?

Being X was starting to get frustated, as he cant see the way to win this war. He is always stopped by that golem... warrior... or something whetever he goes to personally act in the war

It got to the point that he cant use his powers in battle, because 'he' is always there, waiting, not letting the alliance plans works

What he didnt know is that someone who has a deep grudge with him is approaching his level, step by step

...

Another year later, 3 years since Being X entered the fray

This year has been rather calm, as each side knows that sending more soldiers wont do anything, so each side started to prepare for a final war

Each side started to do a mass recruit, making every able people join the army

Also there has been some minor skirmishes in the meantime, mostly to gather intel on the enemy

Being X was seated on his office, waiting for a final clash, where everything is going to be decided

Ainz was meditating in the middle of a old battlefield, gathering as much death aura as he can. By now he has converted 95% of his mana into death energy, he is almost done

Tanya is still training hard to get stronger, going up to transcended lvl 8, at this point she can already kill Being X if he is caught unprepared

Although knowing that after asking me, she was still not stopping, as she wants to kill him in a frontal fight

As for me? I was just chilling while gazing at the sky, looking how fate is getting stronger and stronger the more the war advance, alternating between red and gold, being red the destroyed empire and gold the empire dominating the world

"Lets see the end and which fate wins" With a lost gaze watching the sky, i say those words like a wise old man, trying to be mysterious...
