Ren could not understand what was happening around him, and for some reason, his emotions were bursting out of him. Normally even in such a situation, he would quickly stabilize himself, but at this time he felt there was something wrong with him there was something like a fog clouding his judgment.
Ren who was overwhelmed by his own emotions roared loudly. Ren's aura exploded outward as he continued to roar, tears were slowly falling from his eyes. What he was feeling was something he has never experienced before. He has lived two lives and has an inheritance of numerous others, one of which was thousands of years, and even with that much experience this kind of thing was a first for him.
Ren punched forward with the strength that could burst a star, he then stomped on the ground with the strength to crack an entire planet in half. As he continued to rampage around the faces of his wives appeared in his mind, the adventures he had with them, even the adventures of his past reincarnations with Tsukiyomi, Tanith, Lara, and Elizabeth kept flashing in his mind.
Ren stopped attacking the air and knelt on the ground. He bit his lip until it bled, and he then smashed his head onto the ground. Yet no matter what he did he could not calm down. Not only was Ren not calming down he was also getting more and more confused and annoyed.
"Oh, it looks like you're having fun here all by yourself."
Ren heard a very familiar voice speak behind him he stopped what he was doing and turned around. Ren saw three familiar faces, it was Valdel, Sora, and the fourth hero he fought as a demon Lord, Hero Shin. Ren could understand Valdel being here, he could barely accept Shin being here, but Sora under normal circumstances was nearly impossible to appear since he clearly remember killing the other party. Ren immediately took out the death scythe and got into a defensive position.
"Who are you people?"
"Can't even recognize your best friend?" Valdel shrugged his shoulders as he responded.
"Heh, you really do act and feel like Valdel, but how can you explain those two people beside you? Even if you are real, why are you with two of my former enemies?"
"Heh, I'm heartbroken to hear that Kretos, oh wait you're called Ren now right? We might have fought before, but even then I never really thought of you as an enemy and I was sure you felt the same way."
Sora sighed and shook his head as he spoke. Ren was really surprised by what he was seeing, their actions, their tone, and the words they speak even for him it was hard to say if they were truly fakes.
"Okay, let's say that you are who you say you are, then what are you guys doing here?"
"What I'm about to tell you now is the truth. I and these two like Lara and others are already dead. I don't know who, but, someone summoned us into this place, and before I could react I was killed. Funny right, as a rival to the former Demon Lord Kretos I was actually killed without seeing the enemy's face."
Ren was startled, there was too much information in what Valdel said. Still, this just made Ren act even more cautious.
"Then before I knew it I was resurrected, and now I'm forced to tell you all these things. If that wasn't cruel enough whoever did this to me, made me retain my memories and my emotions. Yet I have no control over the expression on my face, and I'm only partially able to speak what I want to say. Deep inside Ren, I'm screaming, I'm trying my best to break free, but I can't. I hope that you'll be able to kill me."
The way Valdel spoke it was like he was having a normal conversation with Ren, there were no fluctuations in his tone, his expression, or his movements.
"If you're really controlled by someone, then why are you talking to me like this, why not just attack and kill me, or is that not what the one who controls you wants to do?"
"I already told you what I'm telling you right now is something that mysterious being allowed. I don't know what that being's plan is, maybe to rattle you or something, but he doesn't really know you that well. Something like this won't shake you. So please, kill us."
Valdel finished speaking and disappeared from Ren's sight, Ren moved his head slightly, and Valdel's fist passed by where his head was. The wind pressure alone could kill a few high-level fighters but it was not enough to harm even a single hair on Ren's head. Sora and Shin also acted at the same time and were about to slash down at Ren from above, but before their weapons could reach Ren swung the death scythe pushing them away. Ren then quickly grabbed Valdel's hand before he was able to retract it.
Ren threw Valdel at the flying Shin and Sora, the three hit each other and before they could do anything Ren appeared before them and using the death scythe sliced them right in the middle. The difference in power between the two sides was too great.
Valdel, Sora, and Shin might have been strong opponents before, but to the current Ren, they were no longer at the same level. Ren didn't even allow them to go all out, Shin had a stronger half-dragon form he hasn't used yet, Sora still hasn't pulled out his strongest weapon, and Valdel was still suppressing his mana.
Normally Ren would have waited for the three to go all out before finishing them off, but this time it was different. Ren's emotions were all over the place and he could not keep a calm mind, at this point he wasn't sure of himself. If for some reason he would hesitate and the fight drags too long he might have difficulty continuing to fight, which is why he decided to end it quickly.
The three who had fallen had a smile on their faces as their bodies were fading away. Before Valdel completely faded away he mouthed out the words thank you to Ren.
Seeing his best friend once again die, coupled with the fact that all of his wives have fallen Ren had no words, all he felt at this point was suffocating pain. It was at this moment when he was at his lowest he heard the sound of someone clapping.
