Scene 1: The Omni Voyagers' New Plan
The Omni Voyagers stand in a vast, limitless space, surrounded by swirling energy fields and dimensions. Their faces are filled with determination, ready to embark on their most intense training yet.
Himothy: "We've been through a lot, but if we're going to face the Grim Reaper and Hajun, we need to be stronger. No more close calls."
Him: "That's why we've gathered the best. We've made a plan—this will take years, but we'll be prepared when the time comes."
The Omni Voyagers look at each other, each silently acknowledging the gravity of their mission.
Draco: "First, Anos. Then Wang Ling. And finally, Saber Avalon. We'll train with them for 2 years each. This will push us to the limit."
MaxedInfinite: (grinning) "Perfect. I'm ready for the challenge."
The team nods in agreement as a portal opens before them, leading them to Anos Voldigoad, the Demon King of Tyranny, who awaits them in a dimension of unimaginable power.

Scene 2: Anos Voldigoad's Training Begins
The Omni Voyagers find themselves standing before Anos Voldigoad, a being whose presence alone shakes the very fabric of reality. His aura is overwhelming, filled with both divine and demonic energy. He looks at the Omni Voyagers with an amused yet calculating gaze.
Anos Voldigoad: (smirking) "So, you want me to train you, hm? I assume you know who I am and what I can do. The only question is—are you worthy of my time?"
Himothy: (determined) "We're ready for anything you throw at us."
Him: "We have no choice but to be worthy."
Anos grins, clearly pleased by their confidence.
Anos Voldigoad: "Good. Then let's see if you can keep up."
With a flick of his hand, Anos creates an enormous, floating battlefield, surrounded by swirling magical energies and demonic forces. The Omni Voyagers step forward, their training officially beginning.
Anos Voldigoad: "First, you'll learn the true meaning of power. Not just strength, but control. You must learn to harness your mana, your abilities, and your mind. Only then can you understand the true depths of your power."
He waves his hand, and suddenly, a barrage of demonic energy strikes toward them. They dodge, but it's clear they are struggling to keep up.
Anos Voldigoad: (without breaking a sweat) "You can't just run away from power. You must face it head-on. And remember, power doesn't come from physical strength alone—it comes from willpower and conviction. I will push you beyond your limits."
The Omni Voyagers brace themselves, ready for the onslaught. Anos proceeds to train them in both offensive and defensive magic, teaching them how to manipulate their energy and their environment. His teachings are relentless, but the Omni Voyagers begin to show signs of improvement.

Scene 3: A Gruesome Test
After several hours of training, Anos sets up a test.
Anos Voldigoad: "This will be your first real challenge. Each of you will face a manifestation of your greatest fear. Conquer it, and I'll know you have the strength to continue."
One by one, the Omni Voyagers step forward, facing terrifying visions created by Anos, manifestations of their inner struggles and doubts.
Himothy: (gritting his teeth) "I won't let fear control me." He faces a vision of his past mistakes, but his resolve is unshaken.
Him: "This is nothing. I've already conquered worse." He faces a version of himself—one who gave in to despair—but pushes through, overcoming the illusion.
MaxedInfinite: "Fear doesn't scare me. It makes me stronger." He faces the loss of his companions but channels his energy to destroy the illusion.
Anos watches them carefully, noting their progress. He's impressed by how they handle the challenge.
Anos Voldigoad: "Impressive. You've passed this test, but the real trials are yet to come. Keep pushing forward, and maybe—just maybe—you'll be ready for what's coming."

Scene 4: Grim Reaper's Struggle
Meanwhile, in the Grim Reaper's World of Void, the Reaper stands before the partially restored Hajun, who has regained 78% of his power after a frustrating series of failed attempts to fully resurrect him. The Grim Reaper is enraged, his patience wearing thin.
Grim Reaper: "Why are you still not at full strength, Hajun?! I've been pouring my energy into you, and you're still not ready!"
Hajun: (snarling) "I lost my tumor, idiot! That's what's holding me back!"
Grim Reaper: (growling) "Fine, I'll fix this. Just don't disappoint me again."
He uses an immense amount of his cursed energy to push Hajun's power back up, but despite his best efforts, it only reaches 78%. The Grim Reaper slams his fist into the ground, frustrated.
Grim Reaper: "This is infuriating. But you'll be powerful enough soon. I'll make sure of it."
He turns and heads into the depths of his realm, the atmosphere heavy with his anger and determination.

Scene 5: A Rising Threat
Back in the training dimension, the Omni Voyagers are in the middle of a grueling workout, their bodies and minds pushed to the breaking point by Anos Voldigoad. They're exhausted but focused, knowing that this training is essential for their survival.
Himothy: (panting) "I never imagined magic and power could be this complicated."
Him: "We're barely scratching the surface. But we'll keep pushing."
MaxedInfinite: "We're learning from one of the best. If we can survive this, nothing will stand in our way."
Anos observes them, a rare hint of approval in his eyes.
Anos Voldigoad: "You're doing well. But you must understand this—power isn't about just surviving. It's about dominating everything in your path."
The Omni Voyagers nod, acknowledging the truth of his words. But they know that while they may be growing stronger, the threats they face are still looming on the horizon.
Himothy: "We'll be ready. We have to be."
Epilogue: Whispers of the Storm

In the dark expanse of the World of Void, the Grim Reaper sits atop a jagged throne made of cursed souls, his scythe resting across his knees. His eyes burn with an unholy fire as he contemplates his next move.
Grim Reaper: (to himself) "The Omni Voyagers… They grow stronger with each passing moment. But strength alone won't save them. When the time comes, their resolve will crumble, and they will know despair."
A shadowed figure emerges from the void, its presence cloaked in malevolence. The Grim Reaper turns slightly, addressing the newcomer without looking.
Grim Reaper: "What news do you bring?"
Shadowed Figure: "The Omni Voyagers are training under Anos Voldigoad. They've begun their journey to surpass their limits."
The Grim Reaper's lips curl into a sinister grin.
Grim Reaper: "Good. Let them grow stronger. The harder they climb, the more devastating their fall will be. But keep watching them. Report every move they make."
The figure nods and vanishes into the void. The Grim Reaper closes his eyes, his thoughts shifting to Hajun.
Grim Reaper: (growling) "He will rise again. And when he does, not even the gods will stand in our way."

Meanwhile, in a secluded temporal dimension, the Omni Voyagers stand on a mountain peak overlooking a surreal landscape of swirling energy and cosmic storms. Their bodies are battered, their clothes torn, but their eyes burn with determination.
Himothy: (looking at his hands) "We're changing. I can feel it."
MaxedInfinite: "This isn't just about power anymore. It's about survival. It's about the multiverse."
Him: (nodding) "We're not just fighting for ourselves. We're fighting for everyone who can't."
Anos Voldigoad approaches them, his presence commanding and his voice filled with a strange mixture of authority and encouragement.
Anos Voldigoad: "You've come far, but this is only the beginning. The real test will come when you're no longer training but fighting for your lives. Remember this: power without purpose is meaningless. Find your purpose, and you'll find your true strength."
The Omni Voyagers exchange glances, silently reaffirming their commitment.
