I, once more, found myself in an infinite void. Well I was given new life and lasted approximately 2 minutes. Through pseudo-infinite recursion I was rebuilt and reformed. Then, through [The System]’s assumed auto correction function, was sent to a new world to relive my life. 2 Minutes. Is fate my enemy … oh wait it is.

The monotone voice suddenly re-entered my head. This was far faster than I had anticipated.

[System Notification: Innate Hero skill [Rebirth] Initialization state has been met]

Innate hero ability. What?

[System Message: Restoring auxiliary state … Restoration complete!]

My conscience was pulled away this time without any notable pain or resistance from an unknown entity.

My eyes adjusted to the room I was in just a moment ago. That terrible existence I was impaled by a minute ago was looking towards me with the same blank expression veiled in that ever increasing ethereal beauty. The man or, more accurately, marionette, heading the most tyrannical and brutal autocracy in the 924 years I had been alive, stood before me as well.

The man recited the same words he had said to me earlier as if to mock me for the past events that transpired earlier.

“Oh great hero; please, I implore you, help us in our time of greatest need!”

Once more the beauty, with the facade of a kind and caring soul , said in a gentle voice

"I don't think he can understand us.”

This time I remained calm. I didn't know the specifics of the Innate hero ability [Rebirth]; however if it was what I thought it was, then it would explain a lot. Especially if the envoy of the end had this power indefinitely in my world.

The main reason they defeated us so fast was because the envoy of the end seemed to be omniscient by nature and knew the best ways to defeat us in battle after battle with as little effort as possible. We had a huge military detachment of around 1/3 of our remaining army. The unit consisted of multiple infantry divisions outfitted with our latest [Magic Armour] and [Magic Guns], each division contained 50,000 soldiers. We also had many thousands of magic powered aircraft and mechanized platoons. In the duration of 10 hours our core chain of command had collapsed and the primary assault force was slaughtered or in full retreat. Each strike they made was a perfect ambush. We had nearly a million men dead by the days end. The humans suffered casualties in the thousands. It was like playing a game of chess where one side was a complete novice with an entire board full of queens fighting someone who had memorized all 10^120 possible combinations of the game board and made perfect moves to get a swift and perfect victory. If the envoy of the end could just try again if he lost then our defeat was, eventually, a certainty.

I decided it would be better to see what the girl who held the holy sword could do instead of trying out how the [Rebirth] ability worked. The girl herself may not be particularly strong but the sword itself was an item that completely nullifies any demon developed magic used on the target and gave them power equivalent if not more than mine. It is like giving a child a thermonuclear warhead that affects anyone but him then asking a trained soldier to fight the child. The soldier loses 10 times out of 10. As a point of interest we did have the capability to launch thermonuclear warheads but the world would have been destroyed in the process so we never bothered using any.

The man from the back was getting the magic stone. I probed the girls’ mental defences and was perturbed to find that all the defensive magic(s) and tricks she used were all of demon descent. Although they were outdated standards that had proven counters and were long ago classified as unsecure and decommissioned; they were irrefutably of demon descent. Just who the hell is she?
