The Unnamed God. I'm really Not a God You Guys!

****(POV) 

For some reason, I feel extremely uneasy. At first, I felt a sense of peace and serenity. After all, I had just resolved to ask the Gu Deity for help. 

There is no being more deserving of our trust than our God. I still remember the time that we were nothing more than runaways. We would practice Gu training, hidden from the world in shame. It is because of the Eternal Gu Breeder that we managed to live without fear. 

Of course, the mortality rate is still high. This is how it is when one trains Gus. But all that doesn't matter. Dying isn't that scary. What is extremely terrifying is not having control of our own destiny. 

Being at the mercy of others is the worst feeling ever. It is extremely degrading!

But now, there is something weird. Before, whenever I prayed to our god I would feel this fuzzy and warm feeling in my chest that kept me going. Now, it is gone. 

Instantly, thousands of possibilities start swirling in my head. Perhaps the Gu Deity is focused on the trial. Perhaps the Gu deity is observing the movement of our enemies. Perhaps he is planning in his infinite wisdom…..Or perhaps I have been abandoned. 

This last possibility terrifies me. Without him we are nothing. The day our god abandons us is the day we die with certainty. There is no doubt in my heart about that. 

Just as I am stressing over this, I start hearing a ruckus in the sect. What are these guys up to? Ah, it can only be the Champion on trial coming back victoriously, right?! 

But then I hear some more screams. These are not of joy, or surprise, but screams of terror, pain, and dying ones. 

There is something wrong! So very wrong! I quickly exit and this is when I see them. There are enemies everywhere. 

How?! This is impossible! How did they ?! No time to think. 

"Kill them all!" 

My trusty Dragon-Gu takes flight and starts slaughtering them with unbelievable efficiency. At first that it…

They soon regroup. There seem to be many factions. These are all the ones that were sieging us. Did they use an ancient artifact or a forbidden spell to break in?! 

But there are way too many enemies. My Dragon-Gu is stronger against a few enemies. They smirk as they set-up impenetrable defenses..or so they think. 

"Time for a spell. Take my mana and slaughter them all!"

They finally show fright but it is too late. My Gu begins to enlarge before it is the size of a human head. This may seem small but it is extremely big for a Gu. 

With its size increase comes newfound power and speed. It charges at them, easily breaching their defenses this time around. 

Then comes the sound of agony as their entire bodies are reduced to unidentifiable goo. But, this isn't enough. There are far too many of them. Looking at them all, I know it. We will have trouble driving them back. 

But I do realize it. There is no way that this will be so easy. Their leader will be the most troublesome. The leader of the sun sect. With him alive the chances of anyone leaving alive are null. 

I would be the only one with a chance to survive. But at what cost? I would have to leave behind all of the sect members. 

I cannot let that happen. All of them can die for all I care, but the Gu legacy needs to keep going. For that, we need the three remaining Champions to survive. I've made my decision. 

I slowly make my way toward the main battlefield. I am treading it like a god amongst men. With every of my step, dozens of enemies die. 

At this rate, they will soon be completely annihilated. The cannon fodder that is. 

"Sect leader!" 

I hear a young voice. There they are, the three champions. Leading them is the one that is closest to being the true champion. He managed to tame the strongest Gu so far. He is still wearing his red robe as usual. 

"Follow me. I will open a path for you youngsters. Run and don't look back. Do you understand?"

They nod gravely. They know that now is not the time to argue. We keep progressing until we encounter him. There he is. The Sun sect's leader. He looks middle-aged, but his eyes betray him. This monster has been alive for far too long. 

At his feet are countless formations that are obviously extremely deadly. This fight will be extremely challenging. No, more than that. I will die. But, it doesn't matter. 

"The Gu sect leader, eh? You have finally stopped hiding. See what your stubbornness caused? You could have handed the murderer over, but...no!" 

"Please. We both know this isn't about this. You always wanted to annihilate our sect. This is but a convenient excuse that you fabricated entirely. It would take a legion to take down the Sun Young master." 

"Still acting oblivious? It's fine. This will be all over soon. It seems you are covering for that other man too, eh? The one that fought me to a standstill somehow."

What?! That was true?! It wasn't an exaggeration?! No, he's just trying to rattle me. There is no need to think about the past or the future. I just need to think about the now. I need to kill him now so there can be a future for the Gu sect. 

"How does it feel to know that your sect will fall alongside you? This is a punishment from Hellios himself!" 

"Is that so? You see, Gu Trainers are not exactly as weak as you seem to think." 

I can't help but smile as I say that. Right now will be the last fight of my life. This will be to redress all the injustice we have suffered over the years. 

I activate my strongest spell. My lifespan begins burning furiously. In a few seconds, I will be invincible. Well…for a few instants only. Then I will disappear. 

But, these few instants will be enough to rid the earth realm of this invader. He tries to take me down but my Dragon-Gu is blocking it all. We have lived for a long time too. 

I smile brightly as I utter the last words of my life: 

"May the Gu Meadow forever prosper!" 

This is over we have won we have –ARG 

It all stops. Why?! How?! I can feel pain! So much pain! But that doesn't matter. I need to…

As my body falls paralyzed I can see a red figure towering over me. He is smiling. Why is he still here?! I was sacrificing myself to…

That's when I see it. The other two champions are dead.

"Welcome to the Sun Sect kid. You and I both will have our revenge." 

Why?! This doesn't make my sense!...
