873 I'm Home

"Who are you?! This is the meeting between the two kingdoms!" The hero shouted, rebuking Alex with a strong voice. "Is Acacia Kingdom allowing anyone to interfere with the matters of the country?"

Contrary to his expectation, the first one to move was the king, Carollus. He appeared next to the hero, grabbed his head, and glared at him while saying. "You are freaking right, you piece of shit."

*Bang!*

He pushed his hand to the ground until the floor cracked. No matter what anyone said, the king was still a Rank 8 fighter while the hero was a Rank 7. Even if the hero had an extraordinary physique, he still had the advantage of a surprise move.

'Uncle?' Seeing the king's action, the ambassador finally realized the missing detail. The way he said it made it look unimportant, but it turned out to be something they needed to pay attention to. There were only two people who could call themselves Alexa's uncle.

The first one was the king's son, while the other one was the ascender, Alexander Sirius. He had seen the king son, and his appearance was nothing like him.

"Let see… I have seen many interesting things while I am out there… It seems there is a psychopath wanting to take advantage of my niece. Is that true?" Alex smirked. The atmosphere felt heavy right now even though Alex didn't do anything.

The ambassador turned pale and immediately kneeled on the ground.

"O' Almighty Fire God, this mortal had eyes but failed to see your great presence. I hope that you can forgive us."

"What?!" With the confirmation of the ambassador, everyone fell silent, never expecting they would be able to witness when their Fire God descended.

"What Fire God?! I am not convinced!" The hero twisted the king's hand, rose from the floor, and pulled the sword on his waist, waving it toward Alex's neck.

Alexa narrowed her eyes and appeared before Alex, trying to smack this sword away. However, Alex's hand patted her head as if telling her it was fine.

"Look! This is how I will kill your so-called God!"

"Alex!" Lea and Raymond called out his name.

Alex glanced at the sword with a poker face and let it hit his neck. The sword snapped in half as the tip of the blade flew toward Lea.

He then raised his hand and flicked the air, sending a shock wave to blow this piece away, but he poured a bit too much strength into this. The shock wave pushed the sword to the wall and broke both into pieces.

*Clang!*

The soldiers dropped their swords as if they just witnessed something unbelievable.

"Little Alexa… I am still waiting." Alex smiled and ignored the whole situation. "The last time I saw you, you always wanted me to hug you…"

"Eh…" Alexa snapped back into reality before pouting. "I am not a kid anymore."

"Ho?! Trying to become a little mature eh?"

"I am already old enough to get married, and Uncle is still treating me like a child. In fact, my appearance is the same as Uncle right now."

Alex shouldn't have that much age difference with Lea, but they realized that despite ten years having passed, Alex's appearance was that of him they saw last time.

As expected from a God, they also retained their youth.

"You… You…" The hero gritted his teeth. Fear began to rise in his heart and eyes, looking at Alex while shivering. Even so, he still needed to take another action unless he wanted to die. "What a God? You have killed far more than me! You are just a ruthless God that doesn't care about us, mortal."

"At the very least, I am not like you who love to kill a human. Answer me then, when you are killing someone, which expression you have and what feeling you have?"

The hero was tongue-tied. From the information that Zhar possessed alone and the killing intent this guy possessed, he already knew the answer. He must be smiling and feeling thrilled.

"From what I see, you must have killed more than a few thousand humans… When did you get summoned into this world?" Alex smiled as if he knew the answer. "What is the meaning of this new kingdom? To think they let someone like him go rampant, much less to have the audacity to propose to my little niece. I am starting to question your integrity. In fact, I am wondering why you would summon a hero?"

"There… There is a good reason behind this…" The ambassador tried to explain, but Alex cut him off. "Let me guess… Since you get the kingdom from her, you must think that you have a low strength compared to other kingdoms and decided to summon a hero. Don't you know that a hero should only be summoned when the world faces danger?"

Alex kept spouting bullsh*t, albeit all were spot on.

Meanwhile, many people were having their own thoughts about Alex.

Maria was clenching her fists in this situation, watching how Alex acted this whole time. Even she couldn't be compared to the hero, especially his growth. Although she believed that the hero was actually killing people instead of monsters to increase his experience points so he could level up faster, she didn't have enough proof.

If not, she might have started opposing the hero. In fact, this was the only reason why none of them could actually kill the hero yet. The hero was the face of the country, but he was also the symbol of the world.

Many legends about heroes had spread and instilled into the people's hearts in this world for many generations.

The best chance to kill the hero was by relying on the other two races, but if they killed the hero, there would be a huge clash between the human and the other races.

Hence, the Acacia Kingdom and the Holy Kingdom waited and gathered all the information they could find until they had enough to label the hero as a villain.

That was why when she saw how Alex acted, she had mixed feelings. On one hand, she was glad to see him again. On the other hand, he looked a bit more arrogant now.

Since he could do anything he wanted in this world, he might do it, but the people wouldn't look favorably after that. And the Acacia Kingdom might be scrutinized for having a person like him to be their Guardian God.

Still, there was one question that she wanted to see the answer, but couldn't. 'How will Sandra feel if she sees him right now?'

She ended up shaking his head since the answer would be troublesome. Sandra never got close to a man again because of her trauma. And because she decided to not marry for the rest of her life, Sandra told her that she wanted to follow her.

So, there was nothing but bad things would happen when the two met. 'The honest man back then has finally grown up like this, becoming the pride of everyone. Haha, as one would expect from a God… Well, he has his own life, and I also have my own life. I wish for the best… Wait, I want to ask for a blessing from God to another God? Am I insane?'

Not just her, Rieze also had a complicated thought right now. The person they abandoned had become a God. She wondered what if he became the Zircodina Kingdom's Guardian God instead of the Acacia Kingdom? The kingdom would absolutely stand with their head high, not ruined by some traitors.

Well, the least she could do right now was smiling because the Acacia Kingdom decided to hire her instead of executing her for all the crimes she committed during the war. The Zircodina Kingdom was a thing in the past for her right now as she decided to do anything to flourish this kingdom instead.

Carollus also didn't spare anything and made her a marquis. It seemed he recognized her talent in managing the country, thus making use of it.

If Alex had a say on this, he would certainly give a thumb up to Carollus. He believed that Rieze was suited to a leader instead of a queen. She could take a certain responsibility, but she wasn't fit to lead a country.

Rieze only learned this after her kingdom got ruined. At the very least, her teacher was still able to have a nice retirement life and decided to take care of the house for her.

But there was one person that had a very weird thought. She was Lea, Alexa's mother. The last time Alex appeared, he turned Alexa into something like this.

Of course, she was happy that Alexa became strong, but she got bored quicker than anyone else because there was nothing she couldn't do.

As a good daughter, Alexa never showed it on her face, but Lea believed the frustration was built up in her heart. Whether she was conscious about it or not, she could only hope the best for Alexa.

Now that Alex came for the second time, she wondered what kind of ridiculous monster Alex would create. Maybe she needed to talk about it after this and asked Alex to not give anything to Alexa.

She might be the only one that wanted to chase their Guardian God away.

"Anyway, let's ask the new king, shall we?" Alex smiled before glancing over the open gate.

Everyone followed his line of sight, finding no one. However, three seconds later, a woman walked in, dragging a middle-aged man by his neck.

The woman had long blue hair and blue eyes, but everyone still remembered her face. Alexa's beauty couldn't be compared to her as they were two different levels. Of course, it was due to this mysterious aura that she exuded that took one's breath away.

The hero was stupefied when he saw her, thinking how a woman could be this beautiful. She had won the previous small competition and asked Alex to come here while she went to the Zircodina Kingdom.

As for the other two… They got a punishment where they were required to stay in their house until they resolved everything.

Much to less their dismay, they followed the punishment, considering Alex promised them a big family party with Rizertia Family and Merona Family.

Even after maturing during this whole process, she was still the person they recognized.

She gently smiled and put down the guy in her hand.

"This guy said he wants to take over the world by using the hero. And he has been grabbing many people in secret for the hero to slaughter them without having difficulty. His ability is one thing, but the majority of his level comes from this.

"I have asked Alex to handle the situation here, but I say he gets eight out of ten, I guess. Well, it has truly been a while since I last came home. I have broken everyone's heart, including my husband at that time. So, I come back here to tell everyone that I am alright.

"And because of the worry you have to bear this whole time, I have brought this guy, so you can resolve all the problems here. I hope that everyone can forgive me."

She then walked toward Alexa. Her appearance was too shocking to the point no one actually made a sound. "Hi, little niece. How are you doing?"

Alexa was not the first one to react. It was Raymond. He dropped to his knees; eyes covered with tears.

"Alicia… Welcome home."

"Yes. I'm home, Father."
