Calamity Upon This World

11 Julias,5678

Right after William had destroyed the mansion.

In the middle of a huge crater was a single, pristine king-size bed; laying atop it was a tired black-haired woman with a stunned expression on her face; beside her was a sleeping baby barely 20 inches big, covered in a towel.

"Hey Rex, I think I must be hallucinating due to exhaustion from just giving birth".

"Myra If you were hallucinating about our son awakening and killing 50 people inside our mansion as well as destroying the mansion, we might be hallucinating the same thing," said a white-haired man standing beside the bed with an expression of disbelief.

"Ah, we both must be under some kind of collective hallucination," Myra said with a slightly insane expression.

"Rosella, please tell me we're under some kind of illusion magic," she asked, her voice filled with desperation.

Once she said that a tiny fairy materialized, barely 8-inch tall with a green body and transparent silver wings, which all combined to make her adorable to look at if one ignored the troubled look on her face.

"Myra, calm down, please," her tone filled with desperation.

"THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN???? Calm down, my son just got born and killed 50 fucking people," Myra asked, her voice filled with anger.

"Myra I know how you feel, but please don't be irrational," Rosella said in a pleading tone.

"Myra, Rosella is right; you need to calm down for a minute. Under no circumstances can we let the world know what just happened here".

Hearing her husband's voice, Myra decided to temporarily calm down.

A bit further from the village, away from the now-destroyed mansion, was Helga Village, a modest village under the jurisdiction of Baron Verhein.

The village was quite modest in size, barely housing 250 people. These villagers didn't have much ambition and were quite content with their lives and the security provided to them by their lord.

However, little did these poor villagers know that the son of the very lord they all loved and cherished would be the cause of their demise.

"Hey, what was that bright crimson light that came from the lord's mansion?" Asked an innocent-looking kid barely 8 years old with a worried look.

"Don't worry, Alar, our lord is the strongest; we don't need to worry about him," said a middle-aged man with a calm expression, though he couldn't help but contain the uneasy feeling inside his chest.

However, unknown to him, the uneasiness he felt wasn't for his lord but rather for himself.

"Rex, so what do we do now?" Myra asked.

"Give me a minute to think, Myra."

"From the universal announcement, we can deduce that our son has a divine aspect"

"That doesn't even make sense; he's the first person to have it after the God of Mana himself" said Myra.

"It does not matter if it makes sense or not; the truth is that it happened,"

Rex said, trying to sound composed.

"But if that's true, then he'd be getting targeted by practically everyone in the world, some for good reasons and even more for bad reasons".

"It does not matter what happens, but we must not let anyone learn that our son has a divine aspect".

"How? Everyone in the whole universe heard the announcement." Myra asked.

"True, which is why the best solution is to trick the world into thinking that he was born a week later than today".

"If the truth were to be revealed that we hid a divine aspect from the world, we would be executed for treason," Myra said with a knowing expression, as if she knew what her husband was going to say.

"It doesn't matter he's my child; if it's for his or your sake, I'll gladly fight the whole world," Rex said with a determined expression, as if he really meant what he said.

"God, if I wasn't so exhausted right now, I swear I would've kissed you.".

"No reason to make excuses for something so trivial," Rex said as he moved closer to kiss her before she could react.

"Gosh, not in front of William," Myra said with her cheeks still blushing.

"He's just a child; he won't remember it," Rex said before realising it.

"Wait? William?" He said this as a realisation struck him.

"Yeah, we needed to give this boy a name, and I think it's only fair for us to name him after our party member who died to save us, don't you agree?"

"My how romantic, as expected of the women I fell in love with," Rex said proudly.

However, while Rex and Myra were busy talking, something they could've never expected happened.

RAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A deafening roar was heard heading towards them.

Heading their way was a humongous purple dragon with nine heads.

The dragon had massive black wings and a fearsome expression as he flew towards them.

"What the fu?" Before Myra could ask her question, the whole bed was covered in a golden dome of protection, the same skill Rex used to shield from William's elemental manipulation as he muttered [Safe Haven].

After securing his wife and son, he uttered a few more words.

[Martial State]

[Grand Lightning Armour]

[Aura Manifestation: Sword and Armour][Martial Aura]

[Sword Flame]

[Might of the Sword]

Once Rex had activated all his buff skills and techniques, he had completely transformed compared to his previous form.His shoulder-length white had grown long enough to reach his back; his previously, red eyes had turned blue; his old clothes were nowhere to be seen as he now donned a silver armour made up of pure aura.

He also had tendrils of lightning coming out of his body as he was covered in a blue hue.

Held in both his hands were two swords: a 30-cm dual-edged long sword with silver engravings on it, and a golden sword made up of pure aura.

However, one thing both of these swords had in common was the overflowing white flame coming out of them.Once his transformation was complete, he ran towards the approaching Hyrda at a speed invisible to the naked eye as he left trails of lightning behind him.

Once he had reached far enough from his son and wife, he uttered [Grand Leap]As he flew in the sky, reaching the same height as the hydra, he activated a spell and held his hand towards the approaching lizard, who seemed intimidated by the man coming towards it.

However, that was of no concern to Rex, as a giant palm made up of rocks manifested where Rex had pointed.

The palm was a little smaller than the Hydra, but it was still enough to trap the Hydra as Rex closed his hand.

With the lizard trapped in his spell, he flew away from the dome he had created so that his family wouldn't get caught in the crossfire of the fight.

'This overgrown lizard won't be making an orphan of my son' This was the only thought in Rex's mind as he flew with a S-ranked mana beast trapped in his spell, not even caring that he was flying towards Helga village.
