I Am Really The Best Anti Hero In Another World!-System Of Anti Hero! novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Chapter 64 - Farewell

Where there had once been only darkness, now blazed a brilliant light—countless enormous stars with a bluish-white glow dotted the void. In the middle of that vast expanse stood Noah, facing two colossal beings whose scale disparity was like a sardine beside a whale.

Smiling at them, Noah asked,

— So you two just went in and fixed everything?

"Your life was at risk," the immense bird replied, "so we agreed it was best to intervene and resolve the situation safely."

Noah’s smile vanished instantly. He leveled them both with a glare that crackled with anger and demanded,

— How?

Not quite understanding, the serpent exchanged puzzled looks with the bird and then hissed,

— What do you mean by that?

Noah snapped,

— How the hell did she take control of my body?!

Enraged, the serpent lunged at him, fangs bared:

— How dare you speak to us like that, human! We only saved—

Without flinching, Noah raised a single finger and pointed at them.

— Cut the crap! Listen up, both of you...

At that, the two creatures froze in place, utterly unable to move—simply because Noah willed it so.

He slowly lowered his hand, and in that one subtle gesture unleashed a pressure wave so intense it knocked them both flat: the serpent, caught mid-strike, and the bird, rigid in mid-step. It clicked in Noah’s mind—this space existed within him, and here he wielded the ultimate power.

"I didn’t break out of one prison just to become a ventriloquist’s dummy in another!" he muttered.

As the serpent struggled to rise and lifted its head, it spat out:

— So what will you do the next time your life is in danger, human?! Don’t expect me to save you again!

Noah let his hand drop a little more, intensifying the crushing pressure around them. Squatting in front of the serpent with a faint smile, he said:

— Stop kidding yourselves! I know my continued existence matters to both of you just as much as it does to me. After all, if I cease to exist, you vanish too. So tell me—how do you plan to meet your son when he’s born?

"How dare you...!" the serpent hissed.

"He’s right," the bird interjected, closing its eyes. "We have no choice but to obey you..."

"Obey him?! I’d never bow to anyone, let alone a weak human like you!" the serpent retorted, furiously.

"Cut the crap! At least try to understand. From what you told me, your fate forces you to fight and evolve into a true dragon—trapping you, driving you always in one direction. Doesn’t it seem you’ve always been controlled by him?"

Noah rose, the air heavy with silence. Then he turned, lowered his hand, and released the immense pressure bearing down on them, declaring:

— Don’t even think about controlling my body again—got it?

The bird stood and asked calmly:

— We could obey, but as you said, your life matters most to us now. Can you guarantee, with absolute certainty, that situations like before will never happen again?

Noah paused, considered for a few seconds, and replied:

— You do realize I can rid myself of both of you whenever I want, right?

He wasn’t even sure those words carried any real threat.

"Of course!" the bird answered.

Noah smiled:

— Then...

"But if you did," the bird continued, "you’d give up all the benefits—and, of course, all our powers. You knew that, didn’t you?"

"Powers...? What powers?" Noah asked, intrigued.

"Oh, you don’t know? What a shame," the bird mused, turning away.

— Go ahead—expel us from your body and sever the only bond we share.
