Muvah Conflict: Close!

At Sarzapur on the Same Day:

"Iruken: Second Form - Hopelessness," Ren announced, his voice echoing across the battlefield.

"So even you can unlock your true sword, huh?" Ragin asked, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Wasn't it obvious? I am one of the seven warheads of the military; this is the least I can do!" Ren retorted, his eyes burning with determination.

"I see," Ragin replied, his expression turning serious.

Ren began jumping on the surface at a high pace. The second form of Iruken is a warm-up form that prepares the user and the sword for harsh fighting.

"Iruken: Third Form - Dance of a Happy Man," Ren called out as he started dancing and threw his sword into the sky. Seeing an opening, Ragin seized the opportunity and rushed to attack Ren, hoping to end the battle. As Ragin approached, Ren leapt into the sky, caught his sword, and shouted "Irusha" mid-air. His sword absorbed all the positive energy within a 2 km radius and launched a laser aimed directly at Ragin.

"Sanjiken: Third Form - The Real Despair," Ragin countered, collecting all possible negative energy from the surroundings. With the ground filled with soldiers in pain, the amount of negative energy far exceeded the positive energy. The beams of negativity and positivity clashed, generating a massive shockwave and canceling each other out. Both fighters lost significant stamina from the attack.

"I didn't expect it to end like this, Ren," Ragin said, panting.

"Who said this is ending?" Ren asked with a smirk, as he still had some tricks up his sleeve. "If our swords just cancel each other out, then I won't use them."

"So what is it now?" Ragin asked, his curiosity piqued.

"DIMENSIONS - The Land of Hope," Ren declared as he opened his concentrated realm, cutting both him and Ragin off from the outer world. This was exactly how Vahalla explained it: a concentrated realm modified with Ren's personality.

"What in the hell is this?" Ragin asked, bewildered by his surroundings in Ren's dimension.

"This is my realm, my reich, my dimension. This small piece of the world is now completely disconnected from the 'World.' Stand up, as this show is ending, Ragin," Ren said, now wearing a long coat. He looked completely different; his outfits had changed.

"Hmm. Well, great of you for opening your dimension in such a state. But I'm not someone who will die so easily," Ragin said, standing up.

"Feel proud. You're the first one who pressured me to use my 'powers'," Ragin added, his tone shifting.

"Powers? No one can use powers here; are you an idiot or just afraid of your death?" Ren responded, his eyes narrowing.

"I see. So you are not aware of what just happened at Marinabad. Let me tell you. The era of peace and love is over. In the next few hours, even the UoN will be forced to change its tactics. The world's government will reform itself and prepare for battle with the Gobiemo Sangrieto," Ragin revealed.

"Wait, what the hell are you saying?" Ren asked, confusion spreading across his face.

"Yeah, I forgot to tell you this. I'm Ragin Jigoku of the Gobiemo Sangrieto. The third-in-command, just after the master, vice president, and president. And I know the special technique to destroy a dimension," Ragin declared.

"No, you are not talking about—" Ren started, his voice faltering.

"Sunpo - Kanshimi no Kuni," Ragin announced.

The 'Sunpo' technique is an anti-dimension technique, a modified version of one's dimensions built solely to oppose a dimension. However, it is highly risky and can even result in the loss of one's dimension. 'Sunpo' originated in ancient Japan when the 'powers' existed.

"Man! This is disappointing," Ren said, shaking his head.

"Destroy: Kabu no Kuni," Ren called out, temporarily stopping the Sunpo.

"I'm not so careless after all," Ren muttered.

"You're quite wrong," Ragin replied. "No dimension can coexist with another Sunpo. You've made a heavy mistake, Ren."

"Now I must silence that mouth of yours," Ragin continued.

"DIMENSIONS - Domain of the Evil," Ragin announced, canceling all dimensions and Sunpo effects, bringing them back to the real world.

"I will say one last thing, Ren," Ragin said, his voice menacing.

"You cannot run away, you piece of—" Ren was abruptly stabbed by Ragin.

"This is the FINALE. I'm sorry for this," Ragin said, his voice cold.

"Sanjiken: Fourth Form - Dishonest Trader," Ragin declared.

"You can't do this to me," Ren gasped, deeply wounded.

"I'm not your enemy. Instead, the Union of Nations is. I'm neither a ruler nor a superior. I don't have any spirits or chakradhari with me. I'm just an ordinary human who learned about 'reality'. In the future, several humans like me will appear who will learn such powers on their own without even having any knowledge. And they will be pawns under the UoN and will never be free. We, the Gobiemo Sangrieto, are the liberators who will destroy the UoN that has ruled over this world for over a thousand years. You're strong; don't let yourself rot here. Instead, come with me and liberate this world for a better future," Ragin urged, his voice impassioned.

"We are not criminals; we just want to be free of evil. There is no justice in violence. There is no peace with violence. Come with me; let's find out the reality. Come with me; let's protect this world. I am aware that you're Lim's successor, Ren. Bring all seven warheads, and we'll together establish a new human society. A real human society," Ragin continued, trying to motivate Ren.

"What are you?" Ren fell to the ground, his strength fading.

"I'll meet you later, Ren," Ragin said, donning his long coat with the symbol of Gobiemo Sangrieto on the back and vanishing into the mist.

With this, the battle between Ren and Ragin at Sarzapur ended with Ragin's victory.

All the Muvah soldiers who ran to invade the defenseless Sarzapur were knocked out by Ragin using his special technique, "The Eye." Commandant Fist destroyed all the invaders at the Fort Wall. The battle at Sarzapur ended on the same day as the battle at Marinabad.

Raka and the assigned captain of the Deceiving Force walked away as well. The Muvah Army fell within the first 20 hours of the invasion. With this, the Muvah Invasion was completely over.

"Grand Santarino, how can some ordinary human know about God's existence?" Grand Elephanto asked, his voice filled with concern.

"Idiot. Haven't you heard of Gobiemo Sangrieto?" Grand Santarino replied, his tone impatient.

"I've only heard of that organization from his mouth," Grand Elephanto responded, puzzled.

"Gobiemo Sangrieto is the sworn enemy of Monde Uni. The only difference is that we changed our names, but they didn't. It's the same organization from 800 years ago," Grand Santarino explained, his eyes narrowing.

"No way. Are you really saying that Gobiemo Sangrieto is the same organization that once completely destroyed Monde Uni, the organization led by Ruhabayo, one of the saptavanshi and the strongest human in history?" Grand Elephanto asked in disbelief.

"Indeed! It is said that when Monde Uni reaches its peak with an indestructible army of monsters, Ruhabayo will reappear," Grand Santarino confirmed.

"Absurd. The concept of rebirth is ridiculous," Grand Elephanto said, his expression fierce.

"It's not absurd at all. During the Battle of Saniava and in the Great Asian and Indian Wars, Monde Uni was single-handedly destroyed by that one person, and his will still lives on," Grand Santarino said, glancing at some old books.

"His will lives on? How is that even possible?" Grand Elephanto asked, his confusion evident.

"You know about the sacred seven clans of protection, the saptavanshi, don't you? Every so often, someone is born in that clan with the duty to protect the living beings of this planet. When that person is born, six others are also born to support Ruhabayo's will. Yes, Ruhabayo's will lives on in the child born to protect. Not even Saint Torsano Santori can defeat that person when they awaken," Grand Santarino elaborated.

"That is concerning," Grand Elephanto admitted, his worry deepening.

"Indeed. It is also said that the awakened child can fight head-on with the most powerful gods and devils. That child is born to oppose even the gods. He is a god himself—no, he is something that can conquer even deities if they commit injustice. Ruhabayo was given the responsibility to supervise the universes," Grand Santarino continued.

"Whatever. But it is a fact that the powers the UoN has now can never be regained in the coming centuries. So, is that child already inhaling the same air as us?" Grand Elephanto asked.

"I don't know, but Saint Torssano does," Grand Santarino replied.

"Either way, we need to be prepared for

Marinabad, Malwai Empire

"What's this power, Shailya? It makes me light as a feather. I can even cross walls," Sukheer exclaimed, jumping around the ground.

"I think this is the power of permeability. You can pass through any solid or liquid object without any effort," Shailya explained.

"That's great! I don't know what happened to us, but now we can use supernatural powers. And my power is called PERMEABILITY," Sukheer announced excitedly.

"That's actually both a big help and a problem. If almost everyone has powers, then our upcoming opponents likely have something powerful assisting them too," Shailya said, looking at the pamphlets.

"Shailya, what's your power?" Sainen asked, looking at her expectantly.

"Uhm, I've got the power of destruction," Shailya replied.

"Reasonable enough," Mazhiro commented.

"Indeed," Anata agreed.

"That's great, but nothing can be as great as mine. I have the power of aerokinesis," Armeet boasted as he manipulated the air around him, tossing Mazhiro into the sky.

"What's your power, Mazhiro?" Armeet asked while toying with Mazhiro in the air.

"Oh, it's pyrokinesis," Mazhiro said, igniting the gases around him.

"Why you—" Armeet cried out.

"Well, I've got the power of vision despite being an Adam," Elva said.

"That's rare," Mazhiro replied.

"It's not certain that you'll rest with only a single power; maybe there are other powers within you waiting to bloom, perhaps even stronger than Mazhiro's flames, Armeet's air, or even mine," Shailya said to Elva.

"Either way. Anata, you've been pretty quiet. What's your power?" Elva turned and asked.

"Oh, me? Are you asking me?" Anata responded.

"Duh. Of course, you," Elva said.

"I don't know exactly what it is called, but I can merge with light," Anata said.

"Oh. That's amazing," Elva said, holding back her envy.

"So, we all have some superhuman abilities now, don't we?" Shailya said.

"Indeed," Everyone raised their hands.

"Then shall we?" Shailya asked.

"Hell yeah. Who can reject the Pannival's invitation?" Elva seemed excited.

"But wouldn't it affect our battle?" Shailya asked, looking at Anata.

"No, it won't. This is all according to our plan. We don't need to rush things and mess this up. Let's prepare and train with these new superhuman abilities," Anata said.

"Therefore. Next destination up," Sainen cried.

"PARINAAA," Everyone cried together, raising their left hand.

Justania, Raven Islands

"Gobiemo Sangrieto. YOU JUST WAIT," Grand Santarino muttered, looking out from his balcony at the sea.
