Simply wishing for him-
"...Don't worry. I made a promise, I intend to keep it."
-Is enough to finally complete his incarnation.
Moving to the side of his Dreamer, manifested in a body all his own, The Hero cares little for the renewed battle against the Dark God. While that opponent was certainly powerful, the world had already proved it had what it took to defeat him.
So he was not worried.
While the enemy believed he was gone, the tear in space, reality warping from his sheer presence, immediately declares something else. Kneeling down next to Nakamura Akio and Aesop, the hero shakes them awake with a gentle hand...
And, being his other self...
The youth responds immediately, coming back to life with a start.
"It's not over. So now is not the time to sleep."
Identical eyes meeting, the hero smiles with an overflowing kindness.
"This battle is still that of the humans, he may have been revived, but it was still a revival, he talks big but his fate is sealed... You have beaten him once, you can do it again, all of you can do it again, so believe in yourselves once more."
Pulling himself to his feet, a weapon to her own, the concept nods towards the battlefield with a smile.
"All of your friends are here... So give it your all. I promised you I would save the world... So as long as you do that, I will definitely handle the rest."
"Haha... Well alright, but don't lose."
"Nothing to worry about, I got this one."
"Alright-!"
Taking on the burden of the newest enemy, a Dreamer and his Dream cross hands once again; no longer looking at each other, because there was no longer a need to do so.
Each of them would handle what they needed to handle.
Both of them believing that...
Their backs had never been more protected than right now.
The Hero listens as the two run off to fight, and the voices, the souls, whisper that it might not be that simple.
"...As someone who also entered the stage late, it is my duty to take care of those outside the script."
But still...
He's not worried.
To defeat Rogue, he is not really needed.
Space distorts again, and the Hero joins the others confronting 'The Writer.'
While there's nothing in his hand, his aura, his expression...
Are impossibly heavy, an infinite resolve that was very different from the kind face that had motivated his other self to keep fighting.
"Witness human potential? Fluke? You decided to torture them just for that...?"
As the "Hero" humanity had created, and thus one of their Guardians, such a cruel joke being played on them...
Was unforgivable.
"You aren't God. Humanity's Fate is decided by Humanity. You can't use the fates of humans as a toy."
It is impossible for him to tell what exactly he is facing; with an aura that surpassed that of Rogue Flame, and motivations and abilities that escaped him, it is clear that the enemy truly might be 'The Writer.'
...But he doesn't care.
The hero of a story certainly can't defeat the author of it; it is an absolute rule that even he shouldn't be able to break, to overcome, but...
...The moment that person had entered the story, they had gained a presence that he could strike at; God is only invincible on his throne, the moment he leaves...
He is often cut down.
Or at the very least...
He is pushed right back to his throne.
Against this opponent, he could settle for that kind of victory.
To protect the chosen future, the happy ending humanity had decided to grasp for themselves.
He would use whatever force he must.
"Phantom Memory: Endless Edda-!"
A hand rises.
Every possibility humanity will acknowledge opens.
To protect the world of humans from outside interference, he must cut her out not just from the present, but from every future possibility.
Unlike the others, he is not a God.
But he is so overwhelmingly powerful because he is not one.
To defeat a God, either another God was needed...
Or a hero.
One couldn't simply become a God, but...
"REJECTION OF THE STARLIT SKY-"
If one tried hard enough, they could certainly become a hero.
And that simple difference between them... Meant so many more people could relate to the hero's plight.
"-BALMUNG-!"
