Chapter 113 : Things Of the Unknown

Scene 1 : The Prisoner Emerges

A dark, cold void stretches endlessly, a realm untouched by time or space. A single figure, his body covered in faint scars of past battles, stands alone within the depths of this prison dimension. His silver hair flows slightly as the first crack of energy appears before him—a portal, shining with an eerie glow.

For the first time in a thousand years, Ikari Kiotashi takes a step forward.

He emerges into the Seven Deadly Sins verse, gasping as fresh air fills his lungs. The sky is clear, the wind is free, and the world is nothing like the endless torment he had endured. His sharp eyes scan his surroundings, filled with an overwhelming sense of freedom.

Meeting the Captain of the Sins

Not far away, a familiar figure watches curiously. Meliodas, the Dragon Sin of Wrath, tilts his head as he senses the sudden presence.

Meliodas: "You alright there, stranger?"

Ikari turns to face him, still adjusting to the real world.

Ikari: "I… My name is Ikari Kiotashi. I was trapped in a prison dimension… by the Grim Reaper."

Meliodas' usually cheerful expression hardens slightly. He recognizes the pain behind those words. A thousand years locked away? That kind of isolation would break most people.

Meliodas: "That's rough, man. But, uh… I don't know how to break this to you—"

He pauses, rubbing the back of his head before giving Ikari a small smile.

Meliodas: "The Omni Voyagers already took care of the Grim Reaper."

Ikari blinks. A heavy silence fills the air as he processes those words. His clenched fists loosen slightly, but a new thought overtakes him.

Ikari: "The Omni Voyagers…?"

His voice is filled with something unreadable—curiosity? Determination? A sense of purpose? Whatever it is, one thing is certain.

He must find them.

A Peaceful Evening on the Farm

Meanwhile, far from battles and lost souls, in the quiet countryside of Vinland, Aleph Tohu and Zoe continue their simple, happy life together.

The sun begins to dip below the horizon, casting golden light over the vast farmland. The day's work is finally done—rows of vegetables swaying in the evening breeze, a peaceful contrast to the grand cosmic battles that exist beyond this world.

Aleph Tohu wipes his brow, setting down his tools as Zoe approaches him with a smile. They sit together, watching the sky burn with hues of red and orange.

Aleph Tohu: "You know, life wasn't always like this for me. There was a time when I didn't know what peace felt like."

Zoe: (Softly) "And now?"

Aleph Tohu: (Smiling) "Now, I know."

He turns to her, his voice steady yet full of emotion.

Aleph Tohu: "Hey Zoe, I love you. And just know—I always will."

Zoe's eyes widen as tears well up. The words sink deep, warming her heart. She leans in, and as the sun sets behind them, they share a gentle, passionate kiss.

The Omni Voyagers' Tranquil Moment

In Eclipsed Eternity, the Omni Voyagers and their girlfriends finally have a moment of true rest. Their flying fortress floats high above the celestial world, where galaxies swirl in the distance.

They sit together in a lounge, relaxing, laughing, and enjoying the calm that life has given them.

Hinothy: (Smirking) "I swear, Mira, you were ready to fight that shopkeeper when he overcharged us for that bag."

Mira: (Rolling her eyes) "He was scamming us! And besides, I handled it peacefully."

MaxedInfinite: (Grinning) "Yeah… by threatening to destroy his entire shop."

Laughter echoes through the room. The love between them is evident in every glance, every playful nudge, every moment they share.

Draco leans back, wrapping an arm around Wednesday, who simply smirks as she sips her drink.

Draco: "It's nice, y'know? Just… living."

The room grows quiet for a moment, but not in sadness—rather, in appreciation. After all the battles, all the struggles, they finally have this. A moment of peace, of love, of simply being.

As the stars continue to shine above Eclipsed Eternity, the Omni Voyagers cherish the present, unaware of what—or who—may soon be coming for them.

Narrator:

Ah, what a curious tale this has become. A prisoner, lost to time, steps into a world that has already moved on. Ikari Kiotashi, a warrior once chained by fate, now stands at the edge of a new journey. His past, a thousand years of torment, is nothing but echoes now. And yet… can one truly leave behind the weight of their imprisonment? The Grim Reaper, the one who caged him, is no more—defeated by beings known as the Omni Voyagers. But who are they to him? Friends? Foes? Or perhaps… the key to something greater?

Meanwhile, far from the restless tides of war and vengeance, life continues in the simplest yet most profound way. Love, peace, and warmth—things so many fight for but rarely grasp. Aleph Tohu, once a man of uncertainty, has found his answer. A quiet farm, the golden glow of sunset, the touch of the one he loves… Yes, this is a different kind of power, one not forged in battle but in something deeper. But I wonder… can peace like this truly last in a world that never stops moving?

And then, high above the cosmos, in a realm untouched by the worries of ordinary men, the Omni Voyagers laugh and live, unaware of the storm that may be brewing. Oh, how sweet these moments are—carefree, full of joy, and free from the burdens of the past. They are warriors, conquerors of the impossible, but here, they are simply… themselves. A rare sight indeed.

But, dear listener, take heed. For when the winds are calmest, that is when the storm gathers strength. A prisoner now walks free. A heart filled with questions seeks answers. And across the vast unknown, something watches, waiting…
