Mushoku Tensei: Reincarnated as a Beast Race Chapter 272 - Future Guide to All Things (3)

Without thinking further about it, Rygar continued reading. Just like him now, Oldgar also realized that his strength was still insufficient.

The next accounts and paragraphs marked a major change in his daily life — Oldgar no longer worried about ruling the Kingdom of Gaia nor about the most important matters.

From that point in his life, he had transferred all responsibility to other trusted people.

He still kept his presence with the family, mainly dedicating time to his children whenever possible, but all that remained of his free time was spent on incessant training.

It was years — decades — in which he shaped himself as a warrior. During that time, the world did not stop.

In the distant Kingdom of Asura, Queen Ariel had taken the throne with the support of the Mage God, Rudeus Greyrat, strengthening Orsted’s influence over that territory.

Oldgar wrote that the machinations of the God-Man never ceased. There were countless attempts at ambushes, conspiracies, assassins, traps and planned battles meant to bring him to death.

However, he survived them all with the help of two weapons the God-Man could not counter.

His Sixth Sense, which became so absurd that it turned into an almost divine tool, and Verdia’s Future Sight, which allowed him to foresee crucial events.

That part of his life was like navigating a rough sea, surrounded by storms and giant waves, yet still managing to keep the ship afloat.

And it was amid that constant survival that he finally invented the Celestial Sealing; from then on, he was out of Hitogami’s sight.

Among the records after that, there was an extensive text that told of the direct challenge of the Fighter God against the Beast God.

The battle that followed was devastating, razing a vast portion of the Great Forest and extending to reach territories of the Demon Continent.

Both were tireless and almost immortal, trading blows incessantly. The clash of their powers was so violent that it shaped the landscape, turning forests to ash and mountain ranges to ruins.

Finally, Oldgar described how he achieved victory: he managed to separate the Fighter God from his armor, depriving him of his main source of power.

He described it as the hardest victory of his life, achieved with blood and destruction, but which solidified even more his position as the Apocalypse Beast.

And despite being such a brutal fight, Oldgar still mentioned that he had a lot of fun in the battle.

The following years gave him no rest.

The Greyrat family, on the other side of the world, had been consolidated as subordinates of Orsted, the Dragon God, and were progressing in their own way.

And then came the worst. Oldgar recorded a battle against the most dangerous alliance he had faced until then: the Technique God united with the Armored Dragon King Perugius Dola.

The fight was a massacre on both sides. He wrote that, if he had not mastered the God-Level Healing Magic and programmed its automatic trigger for the exact moment of his death, that would have been the end of the Beast God.

But he was already too powerful, and he managed to win in the end.

It was after that bitter victory that everything began to crumble.

Finally, the account ended.

Rygar stopped counting how many hours he had spent reading that book.

All he knew was that he could not stop reading — not while that story continued to reveal itself before him.

It was a sad story.

A life of resistance and relentless battles, facing enemies that seemed endless, surpassing limits that no one would even imagine.

Oldgar fought Gods, Emperors, Dragons, monsters and even destiny itself. All to achieve his goals.

And, in the end, for what?

Only to discover that none of it would survive.

Oldgar’s life was nothing less than tragic, as were the lives of those who were by his side and knew the truth.

Companions who remained at his side even already knowing that tomorrow might not exist. Wives, children, friends and disciples who lived alongside him.

Until then, although there were losses, betrayals and tragedies, it was still life.

It was still possible to believe that, given enough time, he would become strong enough to kill Hitogami, to kill Orsted.

Oldgar believed that.

And Rygar now believed it too.

But who would have thought that time would not be given?

No, he would not have the time he was due.

Orsted had chained the entire existence of the world to his obsession with killing Hitogami.

From beginning to end, everything was only pieces on the board of a cycle that repeated without end.

Rygar frowned. He thought about everything Oldgar had written. He thought about the image that formed of each of those two gods.

Orsted and Hitogami.

Orsted, even having created bonds of true loyalty and friendship, in the end, nothing would be saved, no one, for all would be erased along with him.

Rudeus Greyrat, for example, lived well, built a family, found peace as a subordinate of the Dragon God... but when Orsted lost hope, would they all not be eliminated as well? How could Rudeus leave such a future for his descendants?

Hitogami, on the other hand, malicious, manipulative, crafty to the last thread of his existence. But at least... he was not hypocritical with those who knew him; he helped his apostles and also screwed them over.

There was no lie when he promised help for a high price.

Even some who knew his true nature still felt gratitude toward him.

Rygar closed the book slowly and shut his eyes for a few moments.

It was hard to decide who was more despicable between the two Deities.

When he stood up, Rygar felt his body a little stiff from so much time motionless.

He needed another break.

He went to the same training room as before.

There, at least, everything was simple, without riddles or Time Loops.

That was what he needed now. Train to relax his mind.

And, above all... train because Rygar had no intention of repeating the same fate.
