Zodiac Ruins POV (Ryuta's Wish)

The True Deity spoke, his voice echoing across the Divine Dynamic Heaven.

He asked Ryuta, "What is your wish, young man?"

Ryuta hesitated, his heart pounding. He had known his wish from the very beginning, yet saying it aloud felt like sealing his fate.

"I wish to rewrite fate," Ryuta responded, his tone calm and respectful.

"He's nuts," Leo exclaimed.

"But that was pretty cool," Kael murmured, admiration shining in her eyes.

"Why would he wish for that?" Aelius said, suspicion creeping into his voice as he watched Ryuta through the magic screen. "It seems too convenient when you really think about it."

TWO YEARS LATER

The Zodiac Ruins had been monitoring the Tarot Alliance, trying to uncover their true purpose.

Ryuta sat calmly in his chair, his eyes scanning over reports detailing the threats that lay ahead.

Roy suddenly spoke. "Do I have a mission?"

Ryuta didn't look up. "Even if I gave you one, you wouldn't be able to complete it. The enemy is far stronger than us—centuries ahead of us."

Roy smirked. "Then I'll just be faster than them." His confidence lingered in every word.

Jay, arms crossed, muttered, "We can't be how we used to be. If we repeat our mistakes, we'll die for sure."

"I agree," Cain added. "Even if we find them first, we'll lose."

Merlin, lost in thought, finally spoke. "We need more knowledge about them."

A heavy silence filled the room. They all knew—before they could stand a chance, they had to uncover the enemy's secrets.

"We still have too few members. We need more if we're going to stand a chance against the threat that's coming," Alexia murmured.

"Why don't we just chill?" Parker exclaimed, a grin spreading across his face.

"We can't just relax. Even if we wanted to, we can't. If we let our guard down, threats will catch us off guard for no reason." Jay murmured.

"They really talk like a mature team," Orion said.

"But we shouldn't let them wander around the world so easily," Zephyr stated.

"They're mature, but not enough to handle the threats that are coming for them," Zephyr added.
