Chapter 2: "As The Name Suggests"

Lighttin, at long last, was chosen to carry the weight, as Ma'iingan couldn't carry it through. He was sent down to Earth, and was born as a baby from a poor family. Because of the poverty they suffer, they have to give him away, although it was difficult for them as they wished constantly to Reihai that they would find favor in her. Because of this, Lighttin didn't know his earthly parents. He was raised in a family that claimed to be loving, yet Lighttin later on knows that they were lying, as they gave him unneeded punishments, restrictions, and they kicked him out as he turned 18, forcing him to deprive himself just so he can provide for his needs. Because of this, it made him resentful towards them.

Lighttin then asks Reihai about what gift will come his way, and his mother says to him that it will arrive, as that "gift" is also searching for it. During high school, he made a friend, Jericho, as he shared his faith with him, siding him into Reihai. Lighttin then later on confesses his origin, stating he is a mere angel chosen to attempt saving the world from a malevolent deity. At first, Jericho thought it was nonsense, but later trusted him by giving him the benefit of the doubt. As he progressed into Senior, Jericho asked him something if he ever knew a girl who always does online school. Lighttin didn't know, and Jericho explains, saying that she is similarly from supernatural origin, although nobody, including him, knows about it. However, what's known for sure is that it's rumored that she appears during the night.

Lighttin thought about it shortly, then resumed, and he thanked Jericho about it, as he'll go and look for the girl when it's night, and his decision impressed his friend. Night has fallen, and he coincidentally gets to see the girl, and he notices her beauty alongside her shyness. He tried to tell her to show herself, as she was hiding, but Drasila told him that she'd only put her in danger, and the fallen ones fazed into the scene out of thin air, assaulting him. Lighttin was already troubled by the situation, but as he is a highly adaptive warrior, he slays them all, and Drasila comes out and sees it was safe.

Drasila then explains her origin, how her father, Thanatos, killed her mother and cursed her, forcing her into a life where she had to run to avoid harm from catching her, as she was charged for treason. Drasila then gets to hear from Lighttin, as he tells him he also has great animosity to his brother, which they then acknowledge that they have a common enemy. As they stay close to each other in order to give each other protection, Drasila gets to hear his side of the story. The creation of this world, before and after the fall, and so on. It all amazes Drasila, and she later on agreed with him that they can be great partners for their ultimate goal.

However, as they continue to know each other personally, taking care of the gremlins from time to time, Drasila ends up confessing to Lighttin she is somehow interested in him, even though she didn't feel confident about it because of how she was treated back then.Lighttin gives her a warm, welcoming hug, starting a bondage between them, as they went out to eat together and talk meaningful conversations. Although they argue for their weaknesses and whereabouts, they also get to pick each other playfully with their teases, compliments, and their touchings.

Drasila then confesses to Lighttin that she is a Karida, a literal personification of everything attracting and lustful towards men, and she apologizes if she's already affecting him, as she fears her past will return to bite her deeper. Lighttin tells her that it is okay, as he compliments her, telling her that a pretty girl like her never deserves to be alone. Lighttin and Drasila temporarily part ways for school, and later on meet again to continue strengthening their bond. They then agreed to start training, which they did, and they attain Aetri because of what species they are.

Meanwhile, the Draconians were starting to harvest Aetri from the stars both from Mortals Domain and from the Spirits Domain, creating an abundance of generators and a future of advanced technology. However, one fell ill from rabies after being bitten by a canine while they were handling it, which later escalated the situation as the ill civilian continued to work with harvesting the energy, trying to cope and resist its symptoms. It was a mistake for the civilian to continue, as the radiation of the Aetri mutated the civilian's rabies, turning it into an unidentified rage virus, starting an epidemic.

Back to Mortals Domain, it was announced that 70% of the Earth is fully recovered, and it will persist until not even a speck of ash, blood, and ruination is left, and the civilization celebrates it. While Lighttin and Drasila were greatly in love, bringing them too close. But because of Drasila, still looming of who she is and the problems she faces daily, she weeps. Lighttin asks urgently what's the matter, and Drasila in turn tells him she still doesn't understand why she has to be born just like this, while she is clouded in thoughts of doubt, which always tell her she is weak, worthless, and pathetic as her own mother, even though she never knew her mother to begin with. Lighttin comforts her to the best of his ability, quieting her into peace, as it hurts for him to see her cry, and it is irrelevant of who she comes from or who she is, as it doesn't determine her fate.

Drasila could only thank him for his blessed words by kissing him affectionately, and locking her arms around him, not letting go. Drasila then seeks for a change to herself, as she doesn't want to fall into envy again. Lighttin brings her kneeling face-flat, as it was needed for her to be real with submitting to Reihai after how darkened she was. Although a personification of sins of everyone, Impurities, manifests and knocks him into the unconscious, Drasila manages to confront and destroy her shameful ways, cleansing her to white, alongside her dark clothes. Drasila heals and wakes Lighttin up, and she thanks him deeply for helping her, as she is changed, just as she wants.

As they are graduating from College, they ponder what blessings they should give each other, as they want to keep furthering their relationship. Unfortunately, Drasila suddenly vanished, and Lighttin couldn't find her, filling his mind in fear, anger, although it took effort for Jericho to speak to him to calm his nerves. Lighttin then graduates from College, and he begs for Reihai to bring her back, as he longs for her. Reihai eases Lighttin, promising it will be so, as it is top priority for her now. 

Lighttin later receives a premonition of a sleeping evil, and he comes to Jericho to alert him of what's to come, and they manage to locate where that villain is going to land. As they find it, they manage to realize who it is. It is Mideniko. Sloth looks at their direction and gives an unimpressed face, and their battle begins with Sloth already bringing ruin to the city. They hack and slash, while sending fists of fury as well, in spite it was of little avail, due to their persistence bred unto them. Mideniko, however, was overconfident as she flipped reality against them, severing them severely. Although Jericho couldn't stand it, Lighttin remained on his feet, still pushing. A day has passed, and Sloth still continues to warp reality against him, yet Lighttin continues to rise again, ready to take in more as he continues to hit harder and slice more deeply. 

On the third, fateful day, Lighttin breaks through, using her own reality against her using truth, which is that she is afraid, and is suppressing it with arrogance. Eventually, Lighttin crashes her head, alongside 3 giant fallen ones that attempted to take advantage of how deprived he is. Lighttin heals the land and his friend, Jericho, and they left immediately after they finally defeat Sloth. Lighttin long after her defeat, begs to Reihai once again, and Reihai repeats herself, and she is "testing" them. Reihai also tells him to help Fotovolos, but don't join them, and help them with a dire case.

And so he did, to meet with Draconians desperately looking for a solution to the rage virus outbreak, and they assumed Lighttin would do the trick, as they can't handle it themselves due to how specific it is. Lighttin comes into combat with many infected warriors, but because of his fight against Sloth, it was a mere cleanup. All of the subdued victims were returned to normal. All except the leader, Kyrios, as he was unfortunate to be infected, as he's the strongest of the tribe. Because of how rampant the symptoms have become, it was necessary for him to confront him. 

it was much more difficult, due to the attributes the virus gave into the insane Kyrios, which decimated most of the land, even though there were no casualties. As they continued to fight, the two were enjoying the fight, due to the adrenaline soaring through their veins. Eventually, Lighttin subdues Kyrios and eliminates the virus, although it was hard for him because of his feistiness and how much the infection grew. 

Kyrios proclaims Lighttin as the savior of their land, and they recreate the destruction into an arena, as they expand the town as well. As he approaches 10 more years, he explores Fotovolos' organization, wanting to learn from it and why Reihai doesn't want her to join it. As he learns the hierarchy of Fotovolos and how it works, so does he understand that they're not spreading truth, as they claim to not want to bring hopelessness to all. As 10 years is going to pass, the Admirals receive multiple reports of tremors across many islands and continents, with further studying showing bizarrely large caverns made from the tremors, and they're all filled in unquenchable fire. The admirals later agreed that they need to train their members to the highest bitter, and get everyone involved into the messes that are being made. However, Lighttin was spying over them, and made preparations as he was told by his creator to find Pangea and Gi'mavros, as they also needed to be involved.

As he continues to sharpen his abilities, so does he find Pangea and her creator. Fortunately enough, he manages to find Pangea, which she mistakens to be Ma'iingan. Lighttin explains the situation to her, and Pangea knows what to do with it. Gi'mavros comes to her call, and the requirements were meet, as they continue training. While Lighttin continues to be around with Fotovolos, he gets to meet with a Corporal, Alexia. Lighttin learns about her, as Alexia states she simply attended to keep her blessing sharp, while trying to care for a child as a foster parent. Lighttin gives his care to her, as he's empathetic, although it is not the time, as the answer is about to be revealed. And that truth is that of a gigantic humanoid, horned monster known as Megali'orgi, a tyrant who looked down at humanity for millennia. Although it is not guaranteed, they forged a weapon made to at least try and leave a dent to it. They prepare for the current forming tremor,  and so does the behemoth emerge, starting the battle.

They enter their first phase against it, as thousands of troopers and privates launch against it. However, it was more powerful than they first expected, as their blades were reported to have done nothing against it, before it's deathly eyes entered their line of sight, turning them into rain of blood. They kept trying harder, but their numbers were only dwindling. However, the Draconians entered the battlefield, chipping its skin, even though their numbers began to dwindle due to its defenses, while it continued advancing to their destination. As they enter their second phase, high-ranked warriors begin to go at them, including Alexia. Most like the lesser warriors, more injuries and deaths were reported, stressing them further. Although Alexia manages to evade its death stare, she had to forfeit, as the amount of energy she exerted was nearly fatal, and Yamaga enters the scene, getting her out, even though Lighttin didn't know Yamaga nor the next one yet. 

As they're entering their third phase, they are beginning to be ready to use the long charged Solar-Blaster, even though they haven't presented that, as they must weaken it. Primaul comes in to start bashing its head, but Megali'orgi swiftly catches him before blasting him away with a mouth blast, sending Primaul to the arms of the surviving fighters to bring into Fotovolos' care. The blast was sent to its head, however, it was still standing, seething because of how much it didn't like it, taking the heat of a star. That given Lighttin and Pangea, who was fighting alongside them, an opportunity, Gi'mavros then proceeds to attack it's foot, interrupting it's advance. Pangea follows with everything she had with a single attack sent directly to the chest, yet it only left a dent, causing her to be swept away to be cared for. However, it was all Lighttin needed to send his full-force attack, as he grabbed Fotovolos' final weapon after it fired, digging it into the chest. After he strained himself further, the weapon manages to not only penetrate through its chest, but also leave a gaping hole, affecting it entirely. 

As it falls into the Earth, its fate has been decided by Gi'mavros, as it sends it to the Earth's Core, incinerating it. Although Fotovolos mourns for the ones who died, they praise Reihai that they have saved humanity. One, however, notices Lighttin isn't anywhere, and Pangea answers their bewilderment. And the answer was that Lighttin has been sent to the Spirits Domain, as someone has been missing them for a long time. Lighttin awakes from being healed, to see and recognize Drasila, which brought her to tears of joy, as she throws herself to him. At long last, they were reunited, causing their love for each other to become even greater. Night falls as they stay together, and sleep with each other. Yamaga and Primaul introduce themselves to them, and after rebuilding an alliance, Primaul brings Lighttin in to tell him what happened to his brother, which is that he failed, presuming him dead. It saddens him, being reminded that his brother couldn't make it. 

Yamaga then introduces him to his tribe, while some members went to collect food and plants to harvest, while Primaul explains a little about himself, stating that he was thrown away when he rejected the offer of becoming a Sallmanuth God. While he was trying to please Reihai through discord against evil, he made a friend named Vanqusever, although he vanished before the fight with Ma'iingan began. One of the Sub-Draconians comes to the alliance, stating they have reported a new realm. The group travels into it, finding it to be an endlessly cold dimension with little to no life, making it nigh-impossible to even sense someone from afar.

As they explored the untouched territory, they were ambushed by Nero Nephalems, crushing them in the snow. As they continue to beat them, a cloaked warrior comes in and serves them limbless before he proceeds to decimate them. After the dirty work was finished, Vanqusever. Primaul greets his reunited friend with a midair arm wrestle, and Vanqusever takes his welcome with a smile. Vanqusever then explains that he vanished thanks to the slugger, Sloth, however he was freed thanks to Lighttin, as he knew who broke the seal. As they continue to explore the harsh land, Jericho arrives at the scene only to emphasize that the realm is painfully cold, despite wearing winter gear. Lighttin questions how he got here, and he explains that he was trained and taught by Siopilos, and is not gonna stay on Earth, as its kin will take care of it.

Jericho also takes notice that Drasila is with them, and is glad the two were finally back together. Then they find a door slab on the ground to find a giant homebase, as the warmth of it washes all over them. The civilians close the door shut and try to get answers out of them, however Vanqusever calms them, and tells them they're his friends. As they welcomed them, despite not expecting new visitors, Drasila was curious of how they came to be, as both humans and Draconians are here.

Drasila then asks about its origin, and the civilian explains that the Draconians were getting closer to humanity, while they're showing them around until they accidentally find this realm after the death of Verglas. After its extreme, constant storms that flood the cosmic ground in icy snow, they named it Epodynos, as it is apparently insufferable above. They only managed to survive because of its kin discovering pocket dimension techniques, as they have adequate amounts of food and water to sustain a growing population forever, which was believed to be a direct blessing of Reihai.

As they explore deeper, they also notice hybrids, as some instances have scales on their faces and eyes of one, even for some, to have teeth or extra amount of draconic features. Ironically, Kyrios comes around here every once in a while to check on them all to make sure all goes well, which this knowledge was given to the group. After a month of rest, reports begin to rise on the public, as incidents are becoming increasingly visible to the naked eye. As they return to Mortals Domain, an Admiral comes to them to report increasing instances of unquenchable fire which are eating millions of acres, including homelands.

They then agree to split into groups of two: Primaul with Vanqusever, Alpa with Yamaga, Lighttin with Drasila, and Jericho with Siopilos (Siopilos comes alongside them to assist their plan). Primaul and Vanqusever goes to Epodynos, Alpa and Yamaga goes to the Spirits Domain, Jericho and Siopilos, while SIopilos assures them that it's home will take care of itself, and Drasila and Lighttin stays on Earth. First we go with Lighttin and Drasila: as they rescue some human beings from the burning areas of the planet, they continue to find out who's behind the pandemonium. Lighttin then notices that something is amiss, as a man is standing in the midst of fire. Lighttin tells the man to get out, but the man only turns, revealing that it is Ma'iingan. Lighttin immediately knows that he is brainwashed, as he can feel the perversion within his Areti. And so he confronts him, clashing with him several times before he finally subdues him, releasing the corruption from within.

Ma'iingan awakes, only then to be ashamed of himself as he was brought into his weakest, while Lighttin cheers him up and brings him into the mission. Ma'iingan then reveals that they brought back Katasteptikos, because as long as humanity lives and continues their delusions, it lives. Lighttin sighs at the truth, as he always knows human beings can claim to be wise, yet become fools, even though he was born from one. Later on, they finally locate Katasteptikos, crushing the ashes it steps in. As it turns to them, it snarls as it proceeds to show just how vengeful it is. However, they deterred it hard enough to get it out of the planet, although Lighttin follows, as he is not wasting time. 

The enraged behemoth then strikes the angelic being, as their battle upsets the harmony of the solar system. Eventually, Lighttin was victorious, although he sustained mutilating painful wounds, while he raises his sword up, bringing the unstable planets back to their original position. GOM stresses about its defeat once again, as they agree to send in a gigantic abomination, while later on, use the two former lordesses. Lighttin and his friends and family regroup and enjoy the victory, while they mend the damage done using their Areti. Drasila was nervous at first to confess her desire for him, but later on, she built enough courage to tell him that she wants to be married by him. Lighttin embraces her, and they are officially married, bringing them both into joy. 2 years later, Drasila became pregnant, expecting a boy and a girl, as the twins differ from each other.

As they prepare their home for their bundles of joy, Lighttin knows he will be going through rough times before Drasila would ultimately give birth. Vanqusever needed to pop his bubble, as sightings of ugly snakes and vipers were rising, causing fear to be riled up. Lighttin  tells Drasila that there's something big he needs to do, and it is important for the realm. Drasila gives him a kiss before Lighttin leaves home to find the culprit. After seeing the evidence shown to him, he was convinced he went to the Spirits Domain, disturbing him as Drasila is there. Lighttin makes haste and finally finds who is behind the mess, which is Ofidiani. Ofidiani was in its humanoid form, and it looks at him with a grin before it proceeds to smite him, starting their battle.

At first, Ofidiani was hitting him hard, but later on, Lighttin tugs it straight before putting it in the dirt. However, when Lighttin ascends above the clouds, an unsightly serpent emerges, slithering to the air as he emphasizes its incomprehensible size and length before Ofidiani retaliates after its beatdown. They fight long and hard, creating enormous holes on the battlegrounds, while reality is being disoriented and the Spirits Domain starts becoming uneasy, forcing its civilians to flee. Drasila was terrified, as she feared his defeat, leading her to cheer him on. Lighttin continues trying his efforts to defeat the Eldritch creature, yet it seems as if it is for naught, as it keeps healing.

Lighttin could not take it anymore, as he tries to pulverize it in his burning rage, while his friends evacuate the civilians, as they can't really help him due to the intensity of the fight. Ofidiani and Lighttin continue their clash, and he begins to see victory. Ultimately, he finally puts the snake down, severing its head beyond regeneration.

Drasila was relieved that he survives, as she reunites with him, while Lighttin is relieved Drasila was untouched alongside the civilians. Later on, Lighttin brings his friends back into the Spirits Domain to repair the damage it has sustained, and they all fixed it quickly before returning its dwellers to their homes.

A few months after the destruction of the Serpentine Emperor, Drasila was ready to give birth, bringing a son and a daughter home. The sight of their gifts was everything she could ask for in her eyes, and so they named their son, Drattin, and their daughter, Rosemary. At first, absolutely everything was okay. But later on, only a little wrong got in the way, as they learn that their son is deaf and their daughter is blind, hurting them for a short while, as it made their care for them only get bigger. Because they inherited the same embodiment from their mother and from their inabilities, they have to remain homeschooled. However, while they learn tricks to make their lives less harder, so do they become better despite having one of their senses taken away from them at birth.

It is high school after they manage to pull through their classes, Rosemary has mixed feelings for someone, but she doesn't yet know who, because she can't see. Rosemary later confesses to her parents about it, and they comfort her, telling her that they're willing to help, while making sure she doesn't make the same mistakes they did. They try to find the one for her, but they couldn't as few don't want her. Then one knocked on the door, curious of the situation. Rosemary greets him, sharing their names, which the boy is named Artson. Rosemary and her family agree to let her come with him, but have Drattin be with them to safeguard his sister. Rosemary strikes up a conversation with him, getting to experience each other's first impressions. Later on, they hugged each other before parting ways, and her mother was relieved it ended well.

But Artson was tempted by the same demons Rosemary's family suffered from, as they told him he needed to smite her, as she is scum and villainy that violated him. However, Artson tries to suppress those intrusive thoughts, as he doesn't want to upset her. While they continue being together, they exchange nicknames, for Rosemary, he nicknames her Rosie, while she nicknames him Arty. Rosemary was so in love with him, as she enjoyed listening to his voice, feeling his arms wrapped around her, and smelling sweet kinds of smells from him. Rosemary wanted to take it another step, and so she did, as they later on touched lips. However, Artson confesses his unwanted thoughts to Rosemary the next day, and it hurts her, as she questions why those thoughts come up in his mind after all of the romance.

Rosemary then acknowledges it is not his thoughts, and never did he meant to say it to her, so she apologizes and comforts him, as he was saddened. As they continue coming closer heart-to-heart, Yamaga ventures out to see if there's anymore he didn't see from the Spirits Domain. He was later introduced into the harsher parts of the domain, as a mancer attacks him. Yamaga struggles as he wrestles with her, as she has proven to be strong and full of powerful abilities. As the mancer reveals she can age him to death, at first, it alerted him. However, he then smirks, realizing that he might not have to wait for so long. And so he embraces it, and the Chronomancer's mistake is discovered, as she helped him achieve power beyond the two draconic races, turning him into a mighty wyvern.

The Chronomancer gets desperate, but it only made Yamaga feel even more sorry for her, as it was ever so genius for him to think up such a thing. And so he plays with his food, only to stir her anger even more, before he knocks her out. Yamaga continues to sniff across the newfound part of the Spirits Realm, as he proceeds to show his dominance to the Chronomancers before he is halted by their top leaders to attempt stopping his nonsense. However, it was only slightly different for him, bringing the top leader to beg for his mercy, which he did, as he also defeated the Chronomancers to warn them to not cross him nor his alliance the wrong way. Yamaga then returns to them, telling them that thanks to the Chronomancers, he has evolved.

As Yamaga wasn't selfish, he tells his tribe about it, and they immediately rank him as their leader, as he gave them the said information, and that he became the most powerful. However, they cannot do it now, as they all need to get strong enough to convince them to harmonize with them, which they began to do, as the mancers are aggressive. They start preparing for whatever is going to come in their way, as they're not going to sit there and wait for it to occur. Meanwhile, in Mortal's Domain, Rosemary was beginning to discover her powers, which starts with her hair being used to defend herself or counterattack. She later was then tutored by her father, Lighttin, and she also attains her ability to fly, use Artei for fire and other natural elements. Ultimately, she starts approaching absolute control over the said energy, but the Sallmanuth Gods begin to plot against them.

Enthousiodis, full of egotism, decides to come after them, making a way to humiliate them while killing them. He decides to abruptly cast them two into two pocket realties, both serving to be their own, personal grave. Enthousiodis proceeds to smite them, breaking them while they are bewildered. Rosemary and Drattin convert their fear into anger, as they flail at him with everything they have learned, but it was only tickling him. Enthousiodis' ego was swelling, looking at their bleeding wounds. They both return to their feet, and begin to confront him using truth, while using their fight with him to unlock their inner roots. Enthousiodis questions them, asking how they could possibly know the truth with one of the most needed senses blotted out. Rosemary responds, telling him as she knows who's who by sound and touch, they can lead her into it. While, Drattin responds, telling him they can just write it down to him, while he wouldn't need to hear a rotten word come out of their mouth.

The truth they confront against Enthousiodis is that Reality can still reach out to you, Pride comes before Destruction, and ultimately, Love and Compassion can change many if given enough time or power. Enthousiodis was annoyed by their words, so he continued to beat them, but his fists dwindled after they strike back. Enthousiodis then relates to them, as they put him into a confused, hurting state, instead they defeat him, taking away another Sallmanuth God, while returning home. While the group tunnels their rage against them, Lilith and Jezebel contemplate targeting their parents, as they are of more concern, despite their children literally killing a very unique deity.

And so Lilith agrees to fight Lighttin, as she may fight him. If he somehow survives, she may feed on GOM's core to make sure Lighttin stays below her. Lighttin finally finds it, thanks to its pulsating energy found in its victims. However, Lilith stands in the way, and pursues him. Lighttin was forced to move out, as her strength was too much for him. Lilith had already predicted what he was going to do, as she proceeded to enter GOM to feed on its core. While Lighttin evolves from his wounds, Lilith takes in gallons of Artei, although she found it unpleasant because of how vile it is. The two warriors meet once again to settle their score, except it was slightly different, and it was all he needed. Although he barely survives because of his deep-fried injuries, he manages to go through her, killing her.

That enraged her sister, Jezebel, and all that knew her other than Thanatos, as it is not going as planned. Lighttin wasn't planning to leave until his sword is drenched in the queens' blood, so he evolves once again, battle hardening him as he causes a massacre to its residents. Jezebel comes into the scene, getting into a battle of equal power levels. However, because of Lighttin's pure rush of adrenaline he had from his power boost, he sends her out of GOM, killing her in the process. Satisfied, he retreats from GOM before the Sallmanuth Gods can come and see the mess he has made.

Although it concerned and angered them, their composure wasn't entirely stripped away from them, as not only would the sins of humanity give GOM enough energy to revive them, but Egoismos would come and take care of him. While Lighttin reunited with his wife and children, he was proud that he did what had to be done. However, the celebration was short-lived as Egoismos shows herself, and proceeds to bring Lighttin to his knees. But Lighttin returns to his feet and pushes back, and he allows Ma'iingan to have his turn to start putting the absolute evil out. Ma'iingan fights her as he continues to speak truth about her transparent ego, and that she is nothing more but a nobody that is willingly and knowingly filling herself with falsehood, triggering her.

Egoismos is drained from the truth, and Ma'iingan ultimately puts her out, because of how great his righteous hate for her was. They didn't graduate him for it, as not only was it unneeded, but they instead feel uneasy about what they just did. Long after the queens and another personification of failures of man is gone, they agreed to return to Epodynos to know its citizen's current condition. And so they did, and the civilization was grateful to find them once again, as they need them to go and find out the culprit behind the increasing concern about Epodynos' travellers being gifted shards as valuable as diamond, as they fear it might be the return of Verglas, although it was never said the Sallmanuth Gods could come back unless their ruler wills it. 

Primaul and Yamaga agreed to find out the cause, as it was their turn to shine. As they go deeper into the harsh environment, Kryo reveals himself, and greets himself to the two warriors. They tell him to come as he is and present him to the people, and he agreed to do so as he was made aware that he was involuntarily causing fear upon them. The public relaxed upon his reveal, as Kyro is a Coralle Angel, and has nothing against them. While the Sallmanuth Gods collect word, Skoria was convinced she found an opponent to face, as her elemental powers could fight well against his, which are hellfire against blessed ice soaked in blessed water. 

And so they continue exploring whatever Zero Genesis could possibly offer them, and they start finding a new realm, which their first symptom of finding it was immense heat, which made even one who long mastered commanding cold be dripping in sweat. Nor was it safe to linger, as the newly discovered species ambushed them, injuring them severely, and giving no ear to reason, forcing them to evacuate immediately. They all questioned what just took place, and so they reported and described the situation in detail to the Draconians, and they thought the rumors about their newborn cousins had finally emerged.

They ask about it, and they explained, telling them that they're called Pnigiroses, an highly evolved version of their kin, made to be nearly immune to most extremes, but they're known to be highly aggressive, making them unfriendly due to the toll of their massive pull of their evolution, especially since the realm lacks food, forcing them to rely on very slow metabolism, and cannibalism. Meanwhile, Skoria scheduled when she shall confront them, and she plans to kill Kyro for sport, as she finds him interesting, as they have similar goals, just that their morals are so different. 

Meanwhile in Mortal's Domain, Gimarvos ponders his rise for power, as he needs to prove more useful in defending humanity and assisting his friends. So he made an agreement with Pangea, which is to find the most dense vegetation and life to harmonize, in order to get the power from it, as that's where their energies are made out of. So they went, and as they searched deeper, resentment built because of the difficulty. As soon as they were to forget their mission, however, they accidentally find a long gone, underground temple, and they find ancient texts, which they translate to be a guide of entering another, undiscovered realm, which is said to be brooming in endless amount of Areti, and the information given to Gimarvos made him embarrassed, as he could've realized this sooner.

Either way, they formed a ritual, and as they've met the vague requirements for the entry, it tore a hole in reality, and they entered it, finding an unnamed realm with colors of green and variants beyond human eyes. It thrilled Pangea and Gimarvos, and they proceed to start consuming the luscious fruits, although they do so carefully, and plant their roots to absorb the nutrients of the rich soil. While Lighttin and his family return to the unforgivable Vrazo, as Ma'iingan predicted the appearance of Skoria. And his prediction came to pass, and Skoria fought the team. But the confrontation quickly escalated into a warzone, as it easily disturbed the Pnigiroses, bringing into a full-on deathmatch with no side.

Gimarvos and Pangea absorbed enough Areti, and ascended into much more divine forms. Pangea became more armored and appealing to mankind, while Gimarvos attained a more human-like stance, becoming more visually ferocious. Because of the ascension's gifts, they quickly made their way into the battlefield. Gi'mavros fought alongside the alliance, repelling the seething dragons while defeating Skoria. But it riled up something significantly bigger than them, and it was realized to be an alpha: A significantly more draconic, ugly beast that completely dominates the whole, poor excuse of an ecosystem. 

The behemoth easily sent them on their backs, bleeding, alongside Skoria and causing some casualties on the Pnigiroses. However, it proved to be more concerned about the Sallmanith Goddess rather than the alliance, so it lifted the weakened evil one, and a Pnigirose was telepathically ordered to devour her, and so it did, giving Skoria a gruesome death. They immediately leave Vazros after witnessing a Sallmanuth God be eaten to the bone. They emphasize the sheer aggressiveness and power of the Draconians' cousin, despite that they've made a lot of preparations for revisiting Vazros.

As they agree that they should never visit Vazros unless it is absolutely needed, Kosmima and Kenos observe the behemoth of Vazros meet with another, and clash with it to assert its dominance. They later were reminded by themselves that they should brew the Impurities back into action, as Lighttin's past sins, which is to commit pride multiple times, was all it needed for it to return. And so they begin Impurities' second appearance. But Lighttin knew what it is to come, so he alarmed his family, telling them that it is absolutely necessary to face his shameful ways alone. And so they wish him the best, and savor their last moments with him before he takes off.

Lighttin finds himself on a mountain, and he flattens it with a mere push to its tip, before landing, waiting for it to show its face once again. His impurities, Darktin, shows itself to him, in the form of a dark angel. And so they clash their blades, to settle their score. However, his impurities' bitter flavor was stronger than he thought, and he was being pushed into a corner. However, he mustered the same strength he used against Megali'orgi, but he could control it a lot better. So he strikes back, and he was pushing his impurities back further into a corner. Eventually, he brings it to its knees, scraped into its true, grotesque form, and he slays it quickly and with great, righteous indignation.

So he returns to his family, and they graduate him, expressing how much they were worried about them. After their reunion, they agreed to start hunting down the Sallmanuth Gods, in order to allow good have a better probability of taking over, giving peace upon the world. Before they do, they have to check on the civilization, the faith of Reihai's followers, and the state of every realm and their inhabitants. And so they did in groups of two, and they returned to each other to talk about every discovered realm's current condition. All say that it is slowly, but subtly diminishing, as the faith is sadly being forgotten into a historical scale, the Spirits Domain is experiencing increased reports of anxiety and their culture was failing to support their morality, Epodynos being reported to have increased cold-related illnesses, and their supplies was growing inadequate from the increasing population and demand.

The Pnigiroses' evolution was even becoming more unhealthy to them (due to their evolution being forced just to survive), as they begin reporting deaths due to asexual reproduction, forcing them to resort to sexual reproduction more often, but not much has changed, because of how uncivil they are to each other, making it harder for them to sustain themselves through cannibalism. The Mortal's Domain's civilization is beginning to show signs of a collapsing society, as degeneracy, violence, and uncivilization become more common throughout the world.

The Betwixt Galaxy became weaker in power, as they're slowly stopping from manifesting, which is gradually bringing them to extinction, forcing them to find ways to attain gender, in order to reproduce. The unnamed realm that Gi'mavros and Pangea discovered is reported to have begun overflowing in vegetation, raising concern that if it produces too much energy, it will explode. They thought deeply about their collapsing world, but they knew they needed to focus on beating G.O.M and its powers.

In the meantime, Thanatos then left G.O.M alone, as he decided that it is not even worth ruling over them, although G.O.M is left with no leader, due to the absence of their queens. So they resorted into giving the Sallmanuth Gods, as they assumed they could help them. While the alliance begins their hunt for them, looking for them in every corner, while they try to find new realms they could be living in. However, Lighttin and Drasila end up encountering Thelo and Peina, as they're also looking to smite the heroes.

They fought, Lighttin against Peina and Drasila against Thelo. Drasila was struggling with Thelo at first, but as Drasila progressed, she was eclipsing her. Lighttin, on the other hand, was having it worse, as he was exposed to his hunger for power, and his desire to be above everything, because of Thanatos. As Drasila sent Thelo to her knees, Thelo couldn't hide her true self anymore, and she gave into her negative feelings she condemns herself with. Drasila, seeing her sorrow, comforts her and tells her to stay in place, as she goes to help Lighttin. As they expose Peina to the truth, they then bring her to her knees as well, as they're finally changing their plans for them.

Then they make them feel more comfortable about them through words and actions of kindness, and they were forgiven for spilling their brothers' blood. Later, they then suddenly vanish in sparkling light, and at first, they did not know what happened, but Lighttin was unaudibly told what just happened. Lighttin the answers to their confusion, which is that They were taken in, purified by The Writer, and nothing else, leaving them in confusion still due to the vagueness. 

They went to continue their hunt, yet the only thing they got was meeting with Thelo and Peina. And so they returned back together, and they sighed on their first day. However, on the second day, they begin finding evidence of an active Sallmanuth God, as they've learned that it is an unsightly plague affecting them. And so they seeked out the Sallmanuth God, and eventually, they've been led into a dark, filthy home filled with corpses and ridged rats. It was Ego'tha who was hurting everyone, and so they charged at her, but she proved to them great power.

However, they're willpower outmatched her, bringing her to death. They return home, satisfied of slaining an evil god who'll never be good. Although the deformities and the crisis situations did fade away, the races could not, however, recover from their moral standards, as humanity were still contradicting, the Draconians struggled with their traditions, and other sorts of issues that could not be addressed.

The uncivilization of society and the terrorism of the violence humanity made escalated to the point of bloodbath, as many would scrub themselves within it. And even consume it for irrational reasons, such as for betterment or even serving their idols made of stone and imagination, when it only leads to sickness and separation of families and friends. They took notice of these such events, and a few thought it would never get better, even when they annihilated those evil gods.

However, it was no time for pessimism and hopelessness, as they needed to find the puppeteer of the said madness, and slay them. However, they get to find another unnamed realm which is full of red, and there are creatures who live there just as normally as humans would on their planet, despite the putrid stench of rotten flesh and scarcity of food and water, meaning that they are not dependent on food for survival.

Vyssini, being elusive, wounded them multiple times, and used their blood as daggers to stab them with blades to sever. They manage to recover only to see Vyssini, and they only manage to land a few hits before he slipped through their fingers like water, bringing Lighttin resentment and feelings of inadequacy, despite doing so much in the past.

They later return to their homes to recuperate and try to destroy him again. As soon as they return to the bloody world, he isn't there no matter how far they look into it. Lighttin however, being thoughtful, swooped him and his friends to Earth to find him at work, and they managed to catch, injure, and slay the blood god, calming them momentarily.

Yet despite the unholy situation happening upon them, civilization began to experience its collapse in a crumbling fashion, as the hatred pinned against each other continues to seethe, and corrupt leaders were dictating and oppressing the innocent, sending full-blown truth with no love.

They manage to find the corruptive god, Deiftharmenos, but they are repelled and nearly killed because of the ferocity and potency of its power. They tried many times, but lead to them nearly knocking death's door. But because of sheer willpower, they kept moving against him, and Dieftharmenos finally got its blood tasted by their blades.

As soon as they thought his corruption would come to an end, it was later realized the corruption was being carried out by humans themselves, and it was only manipulating the outcome and its greatness,  nearly tempting Lightin into falling into the same pit Maiingan fallen into. As they struggle together, Thanatos watches over them like one watching their sleeping child, still uncaring and cruel about their crisis.

Meanwhile, the Draconians end up moving back to the Spirits Domain, despite how harsh it is to them, because they were fed up with the sins of the Earth and beyond. It upsetted the rest of the crew, because they were long rooting for the two species to be united and loving towards each other, yet it was not meant to be. They finally get word from the Coralle Angels. Despite the disappearance of the said subspecies, they are far from extinct, because they also agreed to hide their face from humanity, and let them do their own whereabouts as they please.

Lighttin's and Drasila's hope for saving the world began to diminish, as they saw that the whole world finally agreed with the hatred from the Sallmanuth Gods, making them and their alliance question if they'll even leave a dent on this evil. They continue to train and master their techniques, they try and bring the Draconians alongside them, but they refuse because they fear of a genocide due to how calamitious their power really is, and how they are infinitely evil.

A;though disappointed, they let them go in order to prevent antagonism. They then went to hunt down more, only then to encounter both an ominous realm merging with Mortal's Domain, but also two more failures of man, Greed and Wrath. Being bigger in number and tongues stuffed in truth, they easily dominated and put them into eternal sleep not by sword, but by cleansing. Then they turn their attention to such an event, and see a dead grey sky wash over the blue, and stone erode over forestation, giving way to an extension and more troubles into their place they call home, and perhaps, to all of Zero Genesis.
