The God of Flames and the Goddess of Water left the mansion to see Janus.

"There he is.

"

They found Janus, who was lying in a Spatial Prison, unconscious. He wasn't moving at all.

"Finally. The first part of our plan is over. Now we just need for Chaos to return. He'll see his brother and will be forced to surrender!

" the God of Flames said.

"But what if he doesn't surrender?

" the Goddess of Water asked, frowning.

"What if he chose his life over the life of his brother?

"

"The chances of that happening are less, but we would have to plan something for that scenario as well,

" the God of Flames muttered.

"Then again, we have many ways for that. We can set a trap for him with Janus to weaken him now we do have a bait after all.

"

"Hmm? That person...

" The God of Flames looked up, seeing a man in the distance, hiding in a cloak. The aura around the man was really frightening, but it wasn't the first time these people had seen that person and the aura.

All the Gods in the Heavenly Realm saw the person. They went down on their knees.

Even the High Gods went down on their knees, surprised to see that person here.

"We went to find him above. Who knew he was going to be here instead,

" One of the High Gods muttered.

"Maybe he senses the aura of the Goddess of Reincarnation? We should approach him.

" Another High God stood up and flew towards the man in the sky. The others followed him.

After reaching the sky, the High Lords bowed in respect before the person in the cloak.

"You are here. We went to inform you, My Lord. As expected, you already knew about it.

"

"You went to inform him about his awakening?

" A gritty voice came from under the cloak.

"T-that's right. We didn't know how he came back to life, but he came here with her. He even destroyed our palace!

" One of the High Gods said, sighing.

"With her? He is with a lady?

"

"Ah, you didn't know?

" The High God asked.

"He was with the Goddess of Reincarnation?

"

"With the Goddess of Reincarnation? How is that possible? Why would he revive her?

"

"Maybe because those two were friends when she was alive. We think he brought her back to life because of that.

"

"Friends? What nonsense are you speaking! He was sealed before she even came to life! How could he know her?

" The man in the cloak asked.

"He was sealed? But My Lord, we are sure we killed Chaos! It has been a long time since the death of the Goddess of Reincarnation!

"

"Chaos? He's back to life as well?

"

"Ah,

" the High Gods scratched the back of their heads. If he wasn't talking about the High Gods, then who was he talking about? Who had come back? Who beside Chaos was enough to bring this person here?

"That's right. We were talking about Chaos. He has come back to life. He also brought the Goddess of Reincarnation back, ignoring your commands. Moreover, he has waged war on us all!

" The High Gods said.

"Moreover, he is very powerful now. He was able to destroy our palace and still escaped to the dark realm before we could do something. We even captured his younger brother who was supporting him.

" The High Gods pointed towards Janus, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

...

One month later...

The destruction that had occurred on earth was something that was solved by now. The roads that were destroyed were repaired again. Airports and air travel resumed again.

The world was trying to get back on its own feet again, trying to leave the demand behind while embracing the memories of the lives lost in the disaster.

The scientists were even trying to find a reason as to why the sudden earthquake came in the entire world together. This was something that had never happened before. There appeared to be no scientific explanation whatsoever, and they wanted to find one.

Shu got back to the states with Ryder and Alice and got back to work, trying to see how much damage he had suffered and what he needed to do to make things better.

Ryder also went to his office building, trying to see the damage. He met the staff that was still alive, which was most of them. Not many people from the staff had died, but even the small number that had died was too much for him. He couldn't do anything to bring them back.

All he could do was make sure Divine Corporate got back on its own two feet again and got back to work. Still, he wasn't as enthusiastic about his company as before.

In the end, he wanted to become rich and enjoy all the luxuries of life and fame, but after the things he went through, and the supernatural events that he was a part of, he realized that money was nothing.

This earth was a small part of the world that didn't even matter in the grand scheme of things. If he wanted, he could take over the whole earth. However, he didn't want anything now.

He would've even tried to start the company again if it wasn't for his staff. He wanted them to have the place they worked so hard for.

After interacting with his staff, he left the place and went back to his car. He went straight to the home of Bastion to see if Esmi was back or not.

Stopping his car before the entrance of Esmi's mansion, he stepped inside the house. Even the guards didn't stop him.

"Ah, Ryder! There you are! What even happened to you? Your phone wasn't connecting, and you weren't at home! I thought something happened to you!

"

The first person Ryder met was Bastion, who looked happy to see Ryder alive.

"Ryder?

" Esmi also came out of her room, hearing the voice of Ryder.

She ran down the stairs as she saw Ryder before hugging him tightly.

"You know how much you scared me! How dare you scare me like that!

"

She was so worried about Ryder that she even forgot about the presence of Bastion before hugging him.

"Hey, you left for a vacation, not me. I came to meet you in the past. But still, I'm sorry for scaring you.

" Ryder also placed his arms around the soft back of Esmi.

Standing in the back, Bastion was looking at the whole event weirdly. He couldn't help but wonder what was happening here?
