Reaching the portal
Ryu and Aria were both in shock at the sudden and brutal attack on Issei....
They had only just met the travelers, and now they were faced with the harsh reality that not everyone could be trusted.
The travelers had betrayed them, and Ryu was filled with a sense of anger and betrayal. He turned to the woman who had killed Issei and said, "How could you do this? Issei was our friend. We trusted you."
The woman sneered at Ryu and replied, "You're too trusting, Anime God. In this multiverse, you can't afford to be naive. It's every man for himself."
Ryu gritted his teeth in anger, but Aria stepped forward..
"I will kill them by myself..."
she said with anger all over her face....
But suddenly
The travelers nodded in agreement, and they vanished....
Ryu gritted his teeth in anger and buried Issei's body there....

As they walked, Ryu found himself lost in thought, trying to process everything that had happened....
Issei's death had hit him hard, and he was struggling to come to terms with it.
Aria noticed Ryu's troubled expression and asked, "Are you okay?"
Ryu shook his head.
"I don't know. Issei's death...it's hard to accept. He was such a good person."
Aria placed a comforting hand on Ryu's shoulder.
"We'll get through this together," she said.
...
They kept walking for a long time because it was very difficult to fly here which put a lot of pressure on their body and he was not able to go out of this realm as if a wall was stopping them from going out...
So the decided to travel on foot from the start...
Today they made a tent to rest...
they knew that the journey ahead would not be easy.
They had lost a friend, and they were alone in a realm of darkness with only the divine dragon to guide them.
...
Ryu and Aria were devastated by Issei's death, but they knew that they could not give up. They had to honor Issei's memory by stopping the demon and saving the multiverses...
They vowed to avenge Issei's death and to make sure that his sacrifice was not in vain.
The next few days were tough for Ryu and Aria....
They had to rely on each other to navigate through the realm of darkness, and the journey was taking a toll on them both physically and emotionally.
One night, as they were taking a break, Ryu looked up at the sky and saw a faint glimmer of light in the distance.
"Aria, look!" he exclaimed, pointing towards the light.
"Could that be the portal?"
Aria squinted, trying to see what Ryu was pointing at.
"It's possible," she said.
"Let's go check it out."
...
They hurried towards the light, with Ryu leading the way.
As they got closer, they could see that the light was coming from a single source, a glowing orb that was guarded by a massive dragon.

Ryu and Aria approached the dragon cautiously, not wanting to provoke it....
The dragon looked at them with its piercing eyes and said,
"Why have you come here?"
"We're trying to find the portal out of this realm," Ryu said.
The dragon nodded its head and said,
"I see. You are brave, but you are not the first to come here seeking the portal. Many have tried but failed to reach here."
Ryu and Aria exchanged a nervous glance...
Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them. "Well, well, well. Look who we have here."
Ryu and Aria turned around to see the travelers standing behind them, their weapons drawn....
Ryu felt a surge of anger and betrayal...
"You...now you are here then die please...."
"WATER CONTROL"
These words echoed in the sky and all four people froze like ice, in fact they actually became ice figures...
"W-what is this? Have we won? so easily?And where did you get so many powers ryu?"
Aria asked in surprise looking at the four frozen people.....
"I will tell you later...but i think i avenged Issei, rest in peace my fri..."
he was about to continue but he saw...
issei appeared before Ryu and Aria, glowing with a divine light....
"Issei!" Ryu exclaimed, shocked to see his friend alive and well.
Issei smiled and said,
"I couldn't leave my friends in danger. I had to come back."
Aria turned to Issei and said,
"I thought you were dead. How did you come back?"
Issei looked at Aria with a knowing smile.
"I am the Harem God, remember? Death cannot hold me down for long. i have a harem to manage you know?"
Ryu laughed, feeling a sense of relief and gratitude towards his friend....
"Ohh just spill the beans"
ryu said...
"Hhhh....here, young gods, you see this is the only way out, not even a soul could leave or come here so death was impossible here..."
Dragon explained ryu and others...
"Ohh...So because of this I was successful in burying issei's body in the ground, then I didn't pay attention but now I understand, we are god and we don't have any body...."
"Yes, When you came here, you were given a body of a human "
dragon replied...
...
Together, they approached the glowing orb and stepped through the portal, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead....
