The Guardian

Vannox got back on his feet and made his staff disappear.

The Reaper monitored Carson and Vannox. "Soon, I will be able to rest as well."

Vannox resumed walking through perdition, glimpsing around.

He surveyed demons flying above him on one side; on the other, a line of humans chained up. He walked into a little town full of demons, but zero batted him an eye. He was a demon to them.

He walked into a little cabin and sat down, taking his shirt off to clean the blood off himself.

"Oh, my, are you hurt? She said as she rushed to aid him.

He stood up and shunned her, walking out of the cabin.

He recalled his discussion with the Reaper.

"What will you do now if you pass? Your friend Zenkai likely will not escape."

Vannox chuckled. "Zenkai does not need my help, and he never will. Nobody can help him, as his strongest thing is adaptability. He is a competent guy. He will think of something."

"Well, that solves that point, but what will you do about Carson? Will you not face him again.'

"I will. I don't know what it is, but something drives me like it's saying me and him have unfinished business."

"It's a destined battle that I waited to see many years. After it ends, I will move on, leaving my post." The Reaper said.

"You and your brother will eventually bring an end to what I do, and I can finally rest."

"My brother? rest?" Vannox questioned this man in a black cloak but was soon hurled out of the realm."

Dachi finally made his way to the center of hell and saw the immense ray coming out of the land. He grinned as he reached for it.

"Finally, we will return to what we once were. Just demons." "No Phantom bullshit...Just Demons."

Carson and Senzu looked toward the Gods towering over them and then glanced back at Zenkai.

"Have you mastered everything in the Miracle's arsenal yet?" Senzu questioned.

Zenkai disregarded his question and rushed toward them with his hand out, looking for a grab.

Senzu placed one foot backward and moved his shoulder to the side to counter Zenkai's form. After Zenkai got closer, Senzu grabbed his arm, and he was flipped over and put into an Armlock.

"hmp, you're just as weak as the last Miracle,'' Senzu added.

Senzu turned Zenkai's arm, looking for a snap, when the floor below him broke apart and ruined his footing—helping Zenkai find an opening to escape.

Senzu looked toward the idle Gods.

'Esdea the Goddess of Poverty or bad Fortune." Senzu said as he stood back up. "now, why would you interfere with my fight?

Xodan moved his foot and walked toward Senzu. Every step destroys everything below him.

Senzu, who created three coins and was getting ready to toss them, hears his name being called and makes the coins fade.

"It was fun meeting you guys again, but we have a date with the old you." Senzu grabbed Carsons and disappeared.

The Gods vanished, but Xodan remained.

"Chase after them and stop what they plan to do but don't die. These Phantom demons are a threat, but what you face in The Coming Chaos is a greater one. Just end this and keep moving forward." Xodan told him, then disappeared.

"Welcome; glad you can join us, Senzu and Carson," Dachi said, shifting his focus toward the remaining Phantoms. "So have the Miracle and the fake demon been taken care of."

"I was fighting three other people and never came across vannox, but we did meet the Miracle, but you called us forward, so we didn't get the chance to finish him off."

"Vannox is alive," Carson said.

Dachi stared at both of them, then looked back toward the Emerald.

'We will return to the moment it all went wrong, and this time we won't lose."

He tried to reach out and grab it, but a seal appeared, and a shock wave pushed all the Phantoms back.

"They looked at the dark energy that was illuminating from the Emerald."

Dachi laughed.

"Heavens Guardian has appeared before us, a formidable opponent indeed."

The dark energy soon became very pure and healed everything around it.

A Giant Angel formed from the Emerald with wings that could cut through nations and a Halo bigger than its head.

"The Phantom Twelve. I've waited for you guys to appear. Who knew it would take you guys this long to appear before me finally."

"Nice to meet you again, I would like to catch up, but we have bigger plans," Dachi said as he took off his white Yakuta robes. "Let's make this one quick."
