Chapter 78: The God Who Couldn't Destroy Earth

Location: Heavenly Paradise, Briefing Hall

Shen limps into the control room, wearing a half-burned cloak, hair still glowing faintly white from the Pure Identity Form.

> Shen (to Ryulga): "So... how'd I do?"

> Commander Ryulga: "You survived. And didn't get Earth erased. That's a win."

Behind him, Zaniel floats in — arms crossed, aura calm, red hair flowing like cosmic silk.

> Ruke (shouting): "WAIT WAIT WAIT—SO ARE YOU GONNA DESTROY THE EARTH NOW OR WHAT?!"

Zaniel raises an eyebrow, then shrugs.

> Kenya (jaw dropped): "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'NAH'?!"

Zaniel pulls out a scroll from his sleeve — glowing with divine ink.

> Zaniel: "I was never going to destroy Earth. It was part of my mission to trigger Shen's full awakening.

The Universal Watchers sent me. I'm not allowed to destroy planets without… filling forms."

> Shen: "So you were trolling me the whole time?!"

> Zaniel (smirking): "Yes. You needed a little fire under your soul."

He was sent by Universal Order High Command to observe Earth's potential protectors.

Shen was marked as a potential cosmic defense asset.

Zaniel's job: push him beyond mortal limits and confirm his role.

Earth was never in true danger... just nearly crushed as a side effect.

> Zaniel: "You passed, by the way. With style."

Commander Ryulga sits back, sighing deeply.

> Ryulga: "So you're not going back?"

> Zaniel: "Nope. I still have work here.

The multiverse is moving. Something darker is stirring beyond even my level."

He folds his arms and floats above the table.

> Zaniel: "Consider me an unofficial, overpowered, extremely attractive temporary ally."

> Zaniel (grinning): "Same thing."

The Final Comedy Scene: Shen's Rage

Shen suddenly realizes everything he went through was never actually necessary for Earth's survival.

> Shen (angrily): "YOU MEAN I GOT PUNCHED THROUGH A PLANET FOR NO REASON?!"

> Zaniel (chewing a heavenly cookie): "Character development."

> Shen (chasing him): "I'M GONNA CHARACTER DEVELOP YOUR FACE!"
