Chapter 458: World of Machines
To stop all the wars, Alexander had to take over the world. But after that, he only focused on the advancement of the world. People considered him a god so he decided to create a perfect religion out of it. Throughout history, there has never been a god that lived with people. There was simply no proof.
But he was much alive and he could make the people follow whichever path he wanted. So, he gave them the path of peace and science. Preaching it and practicing it was considered a good karma thing. Meanwhile, all the people running the Holy See were dealt with.
All the kingdoms of the world had lost their mandate of people because of the never-ending wars, hence, people were happy that he took over.
...
478 Years Later,
Alexander had not expected in his wildest dreams that humans would be so stubborn when it came to changes. It took him nearly 500 years to bring purity to 90 percent.
3 generations of Casca and Guts's children had gone by now and it was finally the time to leave the world. Guts had married Casca in the end and they lived a happy life. Guts never had to wear his berserk armor again because no conflict happened.
Skull Knight also asked him to be released from his cursed body and finally leave the plane of existence. He learned about his past story from the Skull Knight. It was somewhat similar to Guts. Except, he was a king, his whole kingdom was sacrificed for the rise of the first Godhand who was actually the 5th God hand of that time. His lover also died in that event with him.
It was then the Witch Flora who tied his soul inside the skeleton and he donned the berserk armor. The badass Skull Knight eventually killed four of the five God Hands by himself but then the cycle restarted. Every 200 or so years a new God Hand appeared. His life was full of misery and sorrow so Alexander granted his soul a release from the shackles.
