Chapter 103 - New Era

[Last Chapter: This was a fight to the death]

Chapter 103, Episode 103

[Jeannette's body began to undergo a transformation, her form shifting and glowing with an intense, otherworldly light]

[Her Cosmic Sword shone brighter, and her aura surged to unprecedented levels]

Jeannette: Eternal Frame!

[she declared, her voice like a storm]

[In her Eternal Frame form, Jeannette's abilities were amplified, and she gained access to new powers]

[Her eyes gleamed with a fierce determination as she charged towards the Omni King]

[The Omni King sneered, its power growing with each passing moment]

[It unleashed a barrage of attacks, but Jeannette countered each one with her incredible speed and agility]

[Jeannette's Cosmic Sword sliced through the Omni King's defenses, cutting through its reality-distorting abilities like paper]

[The Omni King retaliated with a massive energy blast, but Jeannette warped reality, redirecting the attack back at the Omni King]

[The Omni King's body began to distort, its form shifting and contorting as it struggled to maintain its grip on reality]

[Jeannette seized the opportunity, unleashing a flurry of attacks that pushed the Omni King back]

Omni King: Your power is impressive, but it's not enough to stop me!

[the Omni King growled]

[Jeannette's smile was cold, her eyes flashing with determination]

Jeannette: I'm just getting started.

[With a thought, Jeannette warped probability, making it almost certain that her next attack would hit the Omni King]

[The Omni King attempted to dodge, but Jeannette's Cosmic Sword sliced through its defenses, striking true]

[The Omni King's roar of rage echoed through the multiverse as Jeannette's attack landed]

[Its body began to unravel, reality itself distorting as it struggled to maintain its form]

[The 6 Rulers and the subordinates (Pandaromi, Laxcarseel, Jairulioyo, Martha, and Antoinette) watched in awe as Jeannette and the Omni King clashed in a spectacular display of power]

Stella: Jeannette's power is...unbelievable,

She's actually holding her own against the Omni King!

[Stella whispered]

[Laxcarseel's expression was grim]

Laxcarseel: Don't be fooled. The Omni King is far from defeated. It will stop at nothing to consume everything.

[Martha and Antoinette exchanged a worried glance, their eyes wide with concern]

[As the battle raged on, Jeannette's Eternal Frame form began to glow brighter, her power growing with each passing moment]

[The Omni King, however, refused to yield]

[Its power surged, its body undergoing another transformation as it unleashed its full fury upon Jeannette]

[The two combatants clashed, their powers locked in a struggle that shook reality to its core]

[Jeannette's voice was like a prayer, her words echoing through the multiverse]

Jeannette: I will protect everything...no matter what it takes!

[The battle continued, the two foes exchanging blows that would shatter entire galaxies]

[The air was thick with energy, the outcome hanging in the balance]

[The Omni King's devastating attack sent the bystanders, subordinates, and rulers flying, their bodies crashing into the distant mountains]

[The air was thick with dust and debris as the Omni King stood tall, its power surging]

[But before it could deliver the final blow, a figure emerged from the shadows]

[Infinte, a brawler with gravity magic, walked forward, his eyes fixed on the Omni King]

[With a roar, Infinte launched a devastating punch, his fist glowing with gravitational energy]

[The punch struck the Omni King with the force of a thousand suns, sending it flying across the landscape]

[The ground shattered, mountains crumbled]

[The Omni King crashed into a distant mountain range, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake]

[Blood dripped from its lips as it struggled to rise]

Omni King: Huh…why is his punch so strong?

[Infinte stood tall, his chest heaving with exertion]

Infinte: I'm Infinte, the gravity wielder, I came to help you guys..

[The bystanders and subordinates stared in awe, their faces pale with shock]

Antoinette: Who...who is this guy?

[one of them whispered]

[Laxcarseel's expression was grim]

Laxcarseel: He's Infinte, a warrior from the Primus world. His power is...unprecedented.

Almost on par with my strength…

[As Infinte spoke, he manipulated the gravitational forces around him, creating a vortex that pinned the Omni King to the ground]

[The Omni King roared in rage, its body beginning to distort and contort as it summoned its full power]

[The air was charged with energy as the two combatants prepared for the next round]

[The battle raged on, with Infinte using his abilities to push the Omni King to its limits]

[The Omni King's body began to distort and contort, its form shifting and twisting in ways]

[Its power surged, and the air around it seemed to ripple and warp]

[Infinte, the gravity wielder, stood tall, his eyes fixed on the Omni King]

Infinte: You think you can take on the multiverse? You're just a speck of dust, probably shouldn't even exist

[The Omni King's laughter was like thunder, shaking the ground]

[It unleashed a barrage of attacks, each one more powerful than the last]

[Infinte countered with his gravity magic, using Vector Manipulation to redirect the attacks back at the Omni King]

Omni King: What…

[The Omni King retaliated with a massive energy blast, but Infinte used Absolute Repulsion Field to deflect it]

[The energy blast ricocheted back at the Omni King, striking it with immense force]

[The Omni King's body began to break, its form shifting and contorting as it unleashed its full fury]

Omni King: Impossible, how is there anyone possibly matching my power, even the angels also fear

[he said with shock]

Infinte: We'll, in this world, if you have confidence, you will surely win, don't get your hopes high, just because you are a king!

[He said with a confidence smirk]

[Infinte countered with Gravitational Puppet Master, manipulating the Omni King's movements and forcing it to fight itself]

[The Omni King's attacks were relentless, but Infinte used Time Dilation Field to slow down time, dodging and weaving around the attacks with ease]

Omni King: He slowed time, and then countered. How…

[He countered with a devastating punch, using Kinetic Manipulation to amplify the force of the blow]

[The Omni King's body shattered, its pieces flying apart as it struggled to reform]

[Infinte used Mass Transfer to steal the Omni King's mass, weakening it further]

[The Omni King roared in rage, its power surging as it unleashed a final, desperate attack]

Omni King: GET AWAY FROM ME!!!

[He yelled in rage]

[Infinte used Singularity Creation, compressing the attack into a micro-black hole that sucked the Omni King in]

[The ground shook, the air trembled, and the very fabric of reality seemed to tear apart]

[The Omni King's screams echoed through the multiverse as it was consumed by the singularity]

Omni King: Impossible, Impossible!!

[Infinte stood tall, his chest heaving with exertion]

Infinte: It's...over.

[The bystanders and subordinates stared in awe, their faces pale with shock]

Pandaromi: Who...who is this guy?

[one of them whispered]

[Laxcarseel's expression was grim]

Laxcarseel: He's Infinte, the gravity wielder. And he's just saved the multiverse.

Infinte: Ehh.. is that how you put it…

[The Omni King's demise sent shockwaves through the Chaos Universe, causing Dorian to vanish as well, his connection to the sealing with the devils severed]

[The scene shifted back to the Primus world, where Infinte stood tall, his chest heaving with exertion]

[The air was thick with the scent of ozone, and the ground still trembled from the aftermath of the battle]

[Jeannette approached him, her eyes shining with curiosity]

Jeannette: Who are you?

[she asked, her voice filled with a mix of awe and wariness]

[Infinte smiled, his expression calm]

Infinte: I'm Infinte, a Graviton from the Astral Realm. We're a species born from the fabric of spacetime itself, wielding gravity as our birthright

[Jeannette's eyes widened]

Jeannette: Graviton? I've never heard of your kind before and Astral realm

[Infinte chuckled]

Infinte: We're a reclusive species, preferring the company of stars and black holes to the chaos of the multiverse.

[Jeannette's gaze turned serious]

Jeannette: We could use someone like you, Infinte. Our leader, Leo, is...missing. But I'm sure he'd want you to join us.

[Infinte's expression turned thoughtful]

Infinte: Leo, you say? Tell me more about him.

[Jeannette's voice filled with pride]

Jeannette: Leo is...was...our leader. He's the embodiment of Hope, with the power to inspire and protect. He...he vanished during the battle against the Omni King.

[Infinte's eyes narrowed]

Infinte: I see. And what makes you think I'd be interested in joining your group?

[Jeannette smiled]

Jeannette: You're a warrior, Infinte. I can see it in your eyes. You fight for something greater than yourself. We need someone like you, someone who can help us protect the multiverse from threats like the Omni King.

[Infinte's gaze turned introspective, his mind racing with possibilities]

Infinte: I...might be interested. But I have questions. What happened to the Omni King's forces? And what's the state of the multiverse now?

[Jeannette's expression turned grim]

Jeannette: The Omni King's forces are scattered, but they'll regroup. The multiverse is...fragile. The battle against the Omni King has left scars that will take time to heal.

[Infinte nodded, his decision made]

Infinte: I'll join you, Jeannette. For now. But I need to understand more about this Leo and the power of Hope.

[Jeannette's face lit up with a smile]

Jeannette: Welcome to our group, Infinte. We'll fill you in on everything.

[The group began to introduce themselves, sharing their stories and powers]

[Infinte listened intently, his mind racing with possibilities]

[As they spoke, the air around them began to distort, and a figure emerged from the shadows]

[It was...Leo]

[But something was off. Leo's eyes were different, his expression...empty]

[Jeannette's eyes widened in shock]

Jeannette: L-Leo?

[The group's expressions turned confused, and Infinte's eyes narrowed, sensing something was amiss]

[The figure emerged from the shadows, its features eerily similar to Leo's, but with an unsettling emptiness in its eyes]

[Voice]

"Who...who are you?"

[the figure asked, its voice devoid of emotion, echoing with a hollow tone that sent shivers down the spines of the group]

[Jeannette's eyes widened in shock, her face pale]

Jeannette: L-Leo...?

[she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper]

[But Laxcarseel's expression was skeptical, his eyes narrowed]

Laxcarseel: That's not Leo..He was erased conceptually remember, and been erased conceptually, is impossible for us even the rulers to revive him back

[he said, his voice firm, his hand on the hilt of his sword]

[Pandaromi nodded in agreement, her eyes flashing with a fierce light]

Pandaromi: I agree. This...thing is not our Leo.

[The 6 Rulers stepped forward, their faces a mix of curiosity and caution]

[Lilura's eyes gleamed with interest, her gaze piercing as she examined the figure]

Lilura: This is indeed not Leo, But what is it?

[she said, her voice like a whisper of wind]

[Jairulioyo frowned, his brow furrowed in concern]

Jairulioyo: It could be a doppelganger, a creature designed to mimic Leo's appearance.

[Martha and Antoinette exchanged a worried glance, their faces etched with concern]

Martha: What do we do with it?

[Martha asked, her voice trembling slightly]

[Infinte observed the exchange, his eyes narrowed in thought]

Infinte: Let me handle this..

[he said, his voice calm, his gravity magic surging to the forefront]

[The figure's eyes flickered, its gaze locking onto Infinte]

[Voice]

"You...are not Leo.."

[it said, its voice like a cold breeze]

[Infinte smiled, his expression cold]

Infinte: I'm not Leo. But you...are something else. Something...fake.

[The figure's face contorted, its features shifting and twisting like clay]

[Voice]

"I...am...Leo.."

[it growled, its voice like thunder, making the ground tremble]

[Laxcarseel's expression was grim]

Laxcarseel: We need to know what this thing is and what it wants.

[The figure's body began to distort, its form shifting and contorting as it unleashed a surge of power]

[Voice]

"I...will...replace...Leo"

[it growled, its voice like a scream, sending shockwaves through the air]

[The group braced themselves, ready for battle. Infinte stood tall, his gravity magic at the ready]

Infinte: Let's see what you're capable of..

[he said, his voice like a challenge, echoing through the landscape]

[The air was thick with tension, the outcome hanging in the balance]

[The figure's body began to distort, its form shifting and contorting as it unleashed a surge of power]

[The air around it rippled and warped, like the surface of a pond disturbed by a stone]

Voriath: I...am...Voriath..

[it declared, its voice like thunder, shaking the very foundations of the Primus world]

[The 6 Rulers and the subordinates stumbled back, their faces pale with shock and fear]

[The air was thick with the weight of Voriath's presence, making it hard to breathe]

[Lilura's eyes widened, her voice barely above a whisper]

Lilura: Voriath...we thought you were sealed and erased entirely from our timeline..

[Laxcarseel's face was grim, his eyes filled with a mix of fear and recognition]

Laxcarseel: 200 years ago...the legendary Justice Group...you defeated them, but at great cost.

[Jairulioyo's voice was trembling, his usual composure shattered]

Jairulioyo: We...we were told you were gone, erased from existence.

[Martha and Antoinette were on their knees, their faces pressed to the ground, their bodies shaking with fear]

[The other subordinates were similarly affected, their faces pale and sweat-driven]

[The 6 Rulers were the only ones still standing, but even they were struggling to maintain their composure]

[Their eyes were fixed on Voriath, their faces filled with a mix of fear and awe]

[Voriath's presence was like a tidal wave, sweeping across the Primus world and leaving everyone in its wake groveling in terror]

[The skies darkened, and the ground trembled, as if the very fabric of reality was being warped by Voriath's power]

[Infinte stood tall, his eyes fixed on Voriath, his gravity magic swirling around him like a vortex]

Infinte: You...are not to be trifled with..

[he said, his voice calm, but with a hint of strain]

[Voriath's gaze turned to Infinte, its eyes burning with a malevolent light]

Voriath: You...are nothing. A speck of dust in the grand scheme of things. I will crush you, and everyone else who dares to oppose me.

[The air was thick with tension, the outcome hanging in the balance]

[Infinte launched a devastating attack, his gravity magic surging forth like a tidal wave]

[The air around him distorted, and the ground trembled as he unleashed a barrage of gravitational punches, each one more powerful than the last]

[Voriath didn't even flink, didn't move an inch. With a mere thought, he erased Infinte's attack, like it was never there]

[The gravitational waves dissipated, and the ground stopped trembling]

[Before Infinte could react, Voriath blitzed him, moving at a speed that defied perception]

[Infinte's body was pushed to the limit, but Voriath's attack was like a whisper, a gentle caress that ended with Infinte's form being...erased]

[The air where Infinte stood seemed to ripple, and then he was gone]

[Voriath stood tall, his expression unchanged]

[The group stared in shock, their faces pale]

Jeannette: W-what...?

[Jeannette stammered]

[The 6 Rulers exchanged a look, their faces a mix of surprise and confusion]

[Sagris's eyes narrowed]

Sagris: That...can't be the real Voriath, If it was the real Voriath, he would have ended us and kill us in a milli second

[Kai's voice was low, his brow furrowed]

Kai: The Real Voriath would have ended us.. Sagris is right..The real Voriath would've...

[Stella's face was pale]

Stella: This is a clone. A copy. The real Voriath is still sealed.

[Nebula's eyes gleamed with anger]

Nebula: We need to know what's going on. Cyra, Apollo, what do you think?

[Cyra's expression was grim]

Cyra: I think we're dealing with a fragment of Voriath. A piece of him that's been left behind.

[Apollo nodded, his eyes serious]

Apollo: If that's the case, the real Voriath is likely still sealed, but for how long?

[The group fell into a hushed conversation, discussing the implications of Voriath's return]

[The subordinates listened in, their faces filled with concern and uncertainty]

[Pandaromi's voice was low]

Pandaromi: What do we do now?

[Laxcarseel's expression was grim]

Laxcarseel: We wait. We gather information, and we prepare for the worst.

[The clone Voriath's expression changed, its eyes gleaming with a malevolent light]

Voriath: You think you've won,But I'm just a messenger. I'll return, and next time, I won't be alone.

[it said, its voice like a whisper of wind]

[With that, the clone Voriath disappeared, leaving the group in stunned silence]

[The 6 Rulers exchanged a look, their faces a mix of confusion and concern]

Sagris: What just happened?

[Sagris asked, his voice low]

[Laxcarseel frowned]

Laxcarseel: I think we just got warned.

[The group began to disperse, each member saying their goodbyes as they prepared to return to their individual worlds]

[The subordinates, however, stayed behind, talking amongst themselves]

[Jeannette approached Infinte's...absence, her expression thoughtful]

Jeannette: Well, it looks like we have a new member to introduce to our group..

[she said, a hint of a smile on her face]

[The other subordinates nodded, their faces curious]

Pandaromi: Who is this guy again, I forgot

[Pandaromi asked]

[Jeannette's smile grew wider]

Jeannette: That's Infinte, a Graviton from the Astral Realm. He's joining our group.

[Infinte's voice echoed from the shadows, his expression appearing as he stepped forward]

Infinte: I'm here. What's the plan?

[Jeannette's grin faltered for a moment, then she nodded]

Jeannette: We have a deal to make, Infinte. Our master, Leo, is...missing. We're looking for him. If you join us, you'll serve him, not us.

[Infinte's expression turned thoughtful]

Infinte: Serve Leo? I don't know him, but I'm intrigued. What's in it for me?

[Jeannette's smile returned]

Jeannette: You'll gain a powerful ally, and the chance to explore the multiverse with us. Plus, Leo's...You can't put a price on that.

[Infinte nodded, his decision made]

Infinte: Alright, I'm in. But if Leo turns out to be a disappointment, I'm out.

[Jeannette laughed, her eyes shining with amusement]

Jeannette: Fair enough. Welcome to the group, Infinte.

[With the deal made, Jeannette turned to Laxcarseel]

Jeannette: Lax, create a portal back to the Eastern World. It's time we regrouped and figured out what's going on with Leo.

[Laxcarseel nodded, his hands weaving a complex pattern as he created a portal]

[The group stepped through, emerging in the Eastern World, a realm created by Leo himself]

[As they stepped out of the portal, Jeannette's expression turned serious]

Jeannette: Alright, let's figure out where our lord Leo is and what's going on.

[The group nodded, their faces determined. The search for Leo was on]

[The scene shifted back to the Primus world, where Avior and Angela stood amidst the ruins of a once-giant tower]

[The air was thick with dust and debris, and the sounds of destruction echoed through the distance]

[Avior's expression was grim as he surveyed the damage]

Avior: This is getting worse..The balance of power is shifting, and we need to do something about it.

[he said, his voice low]

[Angela nodded, her eyes scanning the horizon]

Angela: I agree. We can't just sit back and watch the world burn. But where do we even start?

[Avior's gaze turned to the east, where the Abyss Sea World lay hidden]

Avior: I think I know a place, The Abyss Sea World is rumored to hold secrets of the ancient ones. If we can find the answers there, we might be able to turn the tide.

[he said, his voice filled with determination]

[Angela's eyes widened, her brow furrowed in concern]

Angela: The Abyss Sea World? Are you crazy? That's a death trap, even for us.

[Avior's smile was cold]

Avior: That's exactly why we need to go. We can't afford to play it safe, not anymore.

[Angela sighed, her expression resigned]

Angela: Alright, let's do it. But if we die, I'm blaming you.

[Avior chuckled, his eyes gleaming with amusement]

Avior: Deal.

[As they prepared to embark on their journey, a figure emerged from the shadows]

[It was...Elara, a mysterious figure with a hidden agenda]

Avior: Elara, what are you doing here?

[Avior asked, his voice cautious]

[Elara's smile was enigmatic]

Elara: I've been watching you, Avior. And I think I can help you...if you're willing to take a risk.

[Avior's eyes narrowed]

Avior: What kind of risk?

[Elara's gaze turned to Angela, then back to Avior]

Elara: A deal. One that could change the course of history...or destroy you both.

Angela: You know this woman, Avior?

[Avior smirked and responded]

Avior: Yea... she is my friend...

[Elara turned towards Angela, a sly grin spreading across her face]

Elara: You like him or something?

[Angela's eyes gazed at her, confused]

Angela: Love who, Avior... no!, we don't have no feelings toward each other.

[Avior chuckled awkwardly, trying to steer the conversation back on track]

Avior: Umm... let's not go into that right now. Our main focus is to get to the Pillar Kings. They're hard to reach.

[Elara's smirk grew wider]

Elara: Well, you can actually... you can easily get to their place. But be aware, they see everything in this universe...

[Avior's expression turned serious]

Avior: What do you mean they see everything?

[Elara leaned in, her voice taking on a conspiratorial tone]

Elara: The Pillar Kings are connected to the fabric of the multiverse. They have eyes everywhere, and they won't hesitate to crush anyone who threatens their rule.

[Angela's eyes narrowed]

Angela: Why are you helping us, Elara? What's in it for you?

[Elara's grin faltered for a moment, revealing a glimpse of something deeper]

Elara: Let's just say I have a vested interest in seeing the Pillar Kings shaken. And I think you two can help me with that.

[Avior's eyes locked onto Elara's, his mind racing with possibilities]

Avior: What's the plan, then?

[Elara's smile returned, and she began to outline a path to the Pillar Kings, one that would take them through treacherous realms and hidden dangers]

[As they listened, the air around them seemed to grow thick with anticipation]

[The journey to the Sage Pillar was about to begin, and nothing would ever be the same again]

[Avior, Angela, and Elara made their way through the winding paths of the Sage Pillar, the air thick with an otherworldly energy]

[As they approached the gate to the Pillar Kings' domain, they were met by two imposing guards, their eyes glowing with an ethereal light]

[Guards]

"Who are you?"

[one of the guards asked, his voice like thunder]

[Avior stepped forward, his expression calm]

Avior: We're here to see the Pillar Kings. We have information that might interest them.

[The guards exchanged a glance, then began to ask questions, probing for any hidden motives]

[Elara smiled, her eyes flashing with amusement as she answered their queries. Angela stood quietly, her senses on high alert]

[After a few moments of questioning, the guards stepped aside, allowing the trio to pass]

[Guards]

"Enter,"

[one of them said, his voice a low rumble]

[As they entered the domain of the Pillar Kings, Avior and Angela were struck by the sheer power emanating from the eight rulers]

[Lionet Sai, the First Pillar King, spoke in a voice that echoed through the chamber]

Lionet: What is it that you wish to discuss?

[Avior took a deep breath, his mind focused]

Avior: We're here to ask about Voriath. We've heard he's extremely powerful.

[The Pillar Kings exchanged a look, their faces suddenly pale]

[The air seemed to grow heavier, as if the very mention of Voriath's name had brought a darkness into the room]

[Hypnos, the Second Pillar King, spoke in a hushed tone]

Hypnos: Voriath...the one who single-handedly took down the Legendary Justice 200 years ago.

[Arthurio, the Third Pillar King, shuddered, his eyes haunted]

Arthurio: We...we remember. He was unstoppable.

[Zarathustra, the Fourth Pillar King, leaned forward, his voice barely above a whisper]

Zarathustra: What do you know of him?

[Avior's eyes locked onto the Pillar Kings]

Avior: We've heard he's the son of a Hyper Gods. Is that true?

[The Pillar Kings nodded, their faces grave]

Lionet: Yes,He is the son of a being beyond comprehension. His power is...limitless.

[Lionet Sai said]

[Storm Vinx, the Fifth Pillar King, spoke up, her voice trembling]

Storm: We...we were there, when he fought the Legendary Justice. It was...a massacre.

[Luxias, the Sixth Pillar King, shook his head, his eyes wide with fear]

Lucia's: He's not just powerful. He simply rules under his parents

[Ignatius, the Seventh Pillar King, spoke in a low, gravelly voice]

Ignatius: The only one who might've stood a chance against him was...Morningstar. One of the Legendary Justice

[Kato, the Eighth Pillar King, nodded, his eyes haunted]

Kato: Yes, Morningstar survived the great destruction. But...no one knows where he is now.

[The Pillar Kings fell silent, their faces filled with a mix of fear and awe]

[Avior and Angela exchanged a look, their minds reeling with the implications]

[Elara leaned forward, her voice husky]

Elara: So, Voriath is still out there, he is still sealed. What do you think he'll do next?

[The Pillar Kings' faces turned grim, their eyes filled with foreboding]

Lionet: Whatever he wants,And we won't be able to stop him.

[He said]

[The air grew heavier, the silence oppressive. Avior, Angela, and Elara knew they had to leave, before the Pillar Kings' fear became contagious]

[As they turned to leave, Angela spoke up, her voice barely above a whisper]

Avior: One more thing. What's the deal with Morningstar? Why is he so important?

[The Pillar Kings' faces turned somber, their eyes filled with a mix of sadness and respect]

Lionet: Morningstar, He's the key to everything. The last hope of the Legendary Justice.

[Lionet Sai said, his voice heavy with emotion]

[Avior and Angela thanked the Pillar Kings for their information, their faces still reeling from the revelation about Voriath]

Avior: We appreciate your time..

[Avior said, his voice respectful]

[Lionet Sai nodded, his expression somber]

Lionet: Be careful, travelers. Voriath is just the beginning.

[With that, Avior, Angela, and Elara took their leave, exiting the domain of the Pillar Kings]

[As they stepped through the gate, Elara turned to them, a hint of a smile on her face]

Elara: Well, that was enlightening. I'll take my leave now.

[Avior and Angela exchanged a look, then nodded]

Avior: Thanks for your help, Elara..

[Avior said]

[Elara's smile grew wider]

Elara: Don't thank me yet, Avior. The game is just beginning.

[Avior and Angela nodded, their faces serious]

Avior: We'll be careful..

[Angela said]

[Elara nodded, then disappeared into the shadows, leaving Avior and Angela to make their way back to the portal]

[As they stepped through the portal, the sounds of the Chaos Universe assaulted their ears - the clash of steel, the screams of the damned, and the endless chaos that defined their world]

[Avior's expression turned grim]

Avior: We need to get back to Sagris. He needs to know about Voriath.

[Angela nodded, her eyes scanning the horizon]

Angela: Agreed. Let's move.

[They began to make their way through the war-torn landscape, dodging battles and debris as they headed towards the capital]

[The sky above was a deep, foreboding grey, and the air was thick with the stench of smoke and ash]

[As they walked, Avior broke the silence]

Avior: You think Sagris will know what to do?

[Angela's face was set in a determined expression]

Angela: He's the ruler of this universe. He has to have a plan.

[Avior nodded, his eyes fixed on the horizon]

Avior: I hope so. We need something, or Voriath is going to tear this universe apart.

[The scene faded to black, the sounds of chaos and destruction still echoing in the distance]

[The warm glow of the food place's lanterns cast a cozy ambiance over the reincarnation world, a stark contrast to the chaos of their past lives]

[Leo and Issac sat at a wooden table, enjoying a rare moment of peace as they discussed their plans]

[Leo's brow furrowed in determination as he spoke]

Leo: It seems like we're not on our levels yet... we need to get back somehow and return to our world. After all, this is just a reincarnation.

[Issac nodded, stuffing a piece of steaming hot meat into his mouth]

[The flavors exploded on his tongue, and he let out a satisfied sigh]

Issac: Yea... we need to find a way out.. bro, this food is really good, you should try it out..

[he said, his words slightly muffled]

[Leo's frowned deepened, his eyes narrowing]

Leo: Really, Issac? This isn't the time for food favoritism... we really need to get out of here.

[Issac smirked, a mischievous glink in his eye]

Issac: I understand, Leo, but you have to remember, we can't go back... it's against the universe's laws to defy them. We have to master our powers completely if we want to be stronger... so it's best to stay here and train and be equal to the servants, if they are immensely stronger than we can imagine.

[Leo's expression turned thoughtful as he considered Issac's words. After a moment, he nodded]

Leo: Alright, but we will still find a way to get out of here...

[Issac nodded in agreement, his attention returning to his food as he continued to eat with gusto]

[Just as they were casually talking, a figure walked into the food place, drawing everyone's attention]

[Kaidou, the famous swordmaster, strode in, his presence commanding the room]

[Everyone in the reincarnation world feared him due to his incredible levels, and the fact that he had won countless battles in this world didn't hurt either]

[Kaidou's eyes scanned the room, his gaze settling on Leo and Issac]

[A hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes as he approached their table]

[The atmosphere in the room shifted, the air thickening with tension]

[Patrons whispered to each other, their voices barely audible]

"Is that... Kaidou? What's he doing here?"

[Leo and Issac looked up, sensing the change in atmosphere]

[Kaidou stood before them, his eyes locked onto the duo]

Kaidou: Mind if I join you?

[he asked, his voice low and smooth]

[Kaidou's eyes gleamed with amusement as he awaited their response]

[Issac and Leo exchanged a nervous glance, trying to play it cool]

Issac: S-sure, go ahead…

[Issac stammered, trying to sound weak]

[Kaidou chuckled, his confidence radiating like a palpable force]

[With a flick of his wrist, he knocked over their table, sending food and drinks flying everywhere]

[The sound of clattering plates and gasps from the patrons filled the air]

Kaidou: What's with the trash on the floor?You two think you can even sit here?

[Kaidou sneered, his voice dripping with disdain]

[Issac and Leo cowered, playing along with the charade]

Issac: S-sorry, sir..

[Leo stammered, trying to sound meek]

[Kaidou snorted, his expression incredulous]

Kaidou: Sir? Ha! You think I'm just some ordinary guy? I'm Kaidou, the strongest in this afterlife world. You two are just...ants.

[Issac trembled, his eyes wide with mock fear

Issac: W-we're sorry, Kaidou-sama. We didn't mean to offend you.

[Kaidou's grin grew wider, his ego inflating with each passing moment]

Kaidou: Offend me? You think you even have the capacity to offend me? Pathetic.

[Leo's face twisted in mock anger, his eyes flashing with a hint of irritation]

Leo: Hey, why are you doing this? We didn't do anything to you.

[Kaidou's laughter was like a crack of thunder, making everyone in the room jump]

Kaidou: Why? Because I can. Because I'm the strongest, and you two are just weaklings. It's fun to toy with you.

[Issac's expression turned sullen, his eyes narrowing slightly]

Issac: That's not very nice, you know. We're just trying to eat.

[Kaidou's gaze turned icy, his smile vanishing

Kaidou: You know what's not nice? Being weak. You two should be grateful I'm even acknowledging your existence.

[The tension in the room was palpable, with everyone waiting to see what would happen next]

[Leo and Issac exchanged a subtle glance, their minds racing with thoughts]

Leo: Hey, Kaidou, What's the point of all this? You want to prove you're the strongest? We get it. You're the king.

[Leo said, his voice calm, but with an undercurrent of challenge]

[Kaidou's eyes narrowed, his expression calculating]

Kaidou: You're trying to provoke me, aren't you? Think you can take me down with your smart mouth?

[Issac shook his head, his eyes wide with mock innocence]

Issac: N-no, we just want to know why you're being so mean.

[Kaidou's grin returned, his confidence unwavering]

Kaidou: Mean? Ha! I'm just showing you your place. Now, if you want to survive, you'll do as I say.

[The air was thick with anticipation, the outcome hanging in the balance]

[The patrons, tired of Kaidou's antics, finally intervened]

[A group of burly men stepped forward, their faces stern]

Kaidou: Kaidou, that's enough. Leave the kids alone.

[Kaidou's expression turned ugly, but he knew better than to take on the entire food place. He snorted, his eyes still fixed on Leo and Issac]

Kaidou: Fine. I'm done with you two... for now.

[As Kaidou stormed off, the patrons returned to their seats, muttering among themselves]

[Leo turned to Issac, his brow furrowed]

Leo: What was that? Why were you acting so... weak?

[Issac shrugged, a small smile playing on his lips]

Issac: I didn't want to kill him, bro. He's just a pompous jerk. I wanted to let him have his fun.

[Leo's eyes widened in understanding]

Leo: So you were just... acting?

[Issac nodded, his grin growing wider]

Issac: Yea, I didn't want to show my hand just yet. Besides, it's always fun to mess with someone like Kaidou.

[Leo shook his head, chuckling]

Leo: You're something else, Issac.

[As they began to clean up the mess, a patron approached them, a small, elderly man with a kind face]

Old man: You two... be careful around Kaidou. He's not someone to be trifled with.

[Leo's expression turned serious, his eyes locked onto the old man]

Leo: Thanks for the warning. We'll be careful.

[The old man nodded, his eyes filled with a knowing glink]

Old man: I think you two might be more than you seem. Just be careful, okay?

[As the old man walked away, Issac leaned in, his voice low]

Old man: You think he knows something?

[Leo's eyes narrowed, his mind racing]

Leo: I think he knows more than he's letting on.

[The scene faded to black, the tension still palpable]

[Leo and Issac walked back to Ereshikigal's palace, discussing their training session]

Issac: Dude, I think we're getting stronger..

[Issac said, flexing his arm]

[Leo nodded, a hint of a smile on his face]

Leo: Yeah, Ereshikigal's training is intense. I'm feeling more confident.

[As they reached the palace, Ereshikigal greeted them with a nod]

Ereshikigal: Good work today, you two. Get some rest, and we'll pick up again tomorrow.

[Leo and Issac nodded, heading off to their quarters to rest and recharge]

The scene shifted to the Eastern State, where the most terrifying group in the eight states

[The Null Collapse group stood gathered, their faces illuminated only by the faint glow of candles]

[Mephisto spoke, her voice low and urgent]

Mephisto: We need Voriath. He's the key to our plan, to bringing balance to the multiverse.

[Caladrache snorted, her expression twisted]

Caladrache: Balance? Ha! The multiverse is a mess, and it's time someone took care of it.

[Euros nodded, her eyes gleaming]

Euros: We're not just doing this for power, we're doing it for justice. The Legendary Justice has failed, and it's time for a new order.

[Viaa spoke up, her voice calm]

Viaa: Voriath is a means to an end. We need him to forge alliances, to bring the factions together.

[Blaise nodded, his voice a low rumble]

Blaise: And with Voriath on our side, we'll have the leverage we need to bring about real change.

[The Solstice Sisters exchanged a glance, their faces twisted in eerie smiles]

Solstice: We'll make sure he's on our side..

[one of them whispered]

[Mephisto's eyes gleamed with determination]

Mephisto: Let's do this. Let's unseal Voriath and bring about a new era of justice.

[The group fell silent, their faces set with resolve]The candles flickered, casting shadows on the walls as they began to make their move]
