. Braeet, Sho, and Loki reach a secluded and faraway place so that Sho can nullify the Fool, and while Braeet is about to speak with him, suddenly Sho slams his hand into the ground with force and strikes his head, where the blood splatters, and he screams in agony, longing to annihilate this entity called true death and longing to uncover everything that was hidden.
"[This is too much, too much, I am trapped, me and myself only, what am I supposed to do now? The more I become stronger, I find someone stronger than me; the more I become faster, I find someone faster than me; the gap between me and him does not shrink, it becomes farther and farther]"
. Loki stands in silence while trying to think and understand what happened moments ago, looking at Braeet and approaching him and conversing with him, saying:
"What happened moments ago? I remember that I was in a world of black mist, and then I lost consciousness, and suddenly I found myself transported here Do I use this entity some kind of time stop, or, to be precise, time flow stoppage inside entities?"
. Braeet speaks while leaving Sho to suffer alone and says:
"Yes, indeed, and I intervened to save you from his hands."
. Loki raises one of his eyebrows saying:
"Who are you?"
. Braeet sighs and smiles, saying:
"I am just an ordinary person with some power that enabled him to save you. You can call me Braeet."
. And while Sho, falling to his knees, addresses the Fool from within and says:
"[I know that you had nothing to do with this intervention. Unfortunately, I realized that this devil is my father, and that power of his, through it, he sees what he wants]"
. Sho places his hand on the tear in his face and notices that the golden blood is absent. That part of his face has died completely, even the golden mist itself is unable to heal it.
. The Fool replies to Sho in a voice filled with sadness, as the Fool took a completely isolated and distant place so that he would not see what Sho is doing through the television, remembering that in the end he comes from evil and that this history will chase him forever without stopping.
"[In the end I am evil coming from evil, darkness coming from darkness, I cannot be anything other than that. I am terribly sorry, Sho, I apologize to you greatly. I apologize for my existence with you and my intrusion into your life as if I were a guest who never wants to leave, and at the same time you cannot see him]"
. Sho is sad as well and feels conflicting emotions of the desire for revenge, anger, and sorrow, and he closes his fist forcefully and suppresses his sadness, standing, then approaches Braeet and says to him:
"I want you to take me back to the place of that entity."
. Braeet is surprised but hides it and speaks calmly and says:
"If you return there, he will kill you, trust me. He left me go by his own will. Even I do not think I am capable, with my full power, of stopping him."
. Loki asks Braeet a question and says:
"What path do you follow?"
. Braeet smiles slightly and adjusts his glasses, saying:
"It can be considered that I follow all paths at the same time."
. Loki falls silent and thinks that this entity is deliberately hiding his path, increasing his curiosity toward him.
. Then Sho speaks and says in a voice filled with anger and regret:
"So what is the plan now? My friends outside the Vendora Temple are fighting the rest of the shadows, and the Annihilation Stone is with me, but the problem is: why did he not take it despite his ability to do so?"
. Braeet sighs and his mood darkens a little and says:
"He has a plan, do you understand? He is carrying out a certain and very specific sequence of events through which he determines the best possible logical way to obtain what he wants and to put some of his own black amusement in his path."
. Sho does not focus on Braeet's words and suddenly is shocked and looks at him with wide eyes and says:
"Did that entity say that John welcomes me?"
. Braeet sighs and remains silent for moments, as he knows Sho's intention and has all the knowledge about almost all entities, saying:
"Yes, he did say that."
. Sho's face ignites with anger, and he no longer distinguishes between right and wrong, or between what is true and must be held onto, and what is an illusion that prolongs his journey and places him in a state of acceptance unsupported by any evidence in the first place.
. Braeet looks toward Loki, who whispers in Sho's ear asking about the reason for his anger and sadness, then Braeet speaks saying:
"We must go, and quickly, to my own world, and there, Sho, I will make you become the Lord of Mysteries somehow."
. Sho is surprised and raises his eyebrows, saying:
"Huh? Do you mean the actual Lord of Mysteries above sequence 0?"
. Loki mocks Braeet's words, speaking to himself and says:
"[Does this fool think that those things are free and easy to reach? No one so far has occupied any position, whether Lord of Mysteries or Lord of the Rings or Lord of Stars. Does he think he is able to do this? This is almost impossible even in a short time]"
. Braeet shakes his head, confirming Sho's words, then looks toward Loki and says:
"You are a kind person; you also deserve the best, despite calling me a fool. But I have no problem, say what you want."
. Loki is surprised that Braeet knows what he is thinking, and then Sho and Loki and Braeet move to a completely faraway place, a completely white world belonging exclusively to Braeet.
. On the other side, all the defenders, Bacoleps, Heian, Shinza, and Kai finish the attack on the soldiers and eliminate them after they became much weaker because of the Annihilation Stone, which consumed their energies and swallowed part of their souls.
. And in the depths of the marble existence, true death sits contemplating inside the world of black mist, looking at the black sky, which is not sky in the literal sense but is more like the end of everything that is logically possible. Then true death raises his voice in fear toward the sky, saying:
"O master of evil and death and darkness, opposite of light, you who devour worlds, you who rule above the endless chain of worlds, you god who hates existence, god who rejects absolute truth, you empty one who is never satisfied, and evil present in the darkness."
. Suddenly something more dark than every possible darkness manifests, something that surpasses human imagination and any imagination of an entity in the endless chain of worlds, no matter how high its level of existence and transcendence, as a red eye appears in the middle of the absolute, limitless darkness, one single eye on the right shimmering in red, then the god who rejects truth speaks in a voice beyond description, a voice that the minds of entities cannot describe or liken to the voices of other entities they know. It can only be said that his voice is frozen absolute evil itself, his voice shakes every part and everything inside the world of black mist, and he says:
"What is it, true death, my first and only servant?"
. True death bows with all respect and reverence and speaks while his eyes are on the ground, saying:
"O absolute abyss, O sole master, I have come closer and closer, as you told me. I am now near to going to the world of the gods and becoming in a higher existence than this world, and soon when I exit the endless chain I will come to the real world and obtain what you want."
. The sole god laughs with a voice that shakes everything possible and says:
"Very good. Only to get out, complete the infinite equation. Its five parts are distributed across that chain in several worlds. When you obtain them and leave, the real mission begins."
. True death speaks with all respect and submission, saying:
"Okay, my lord, but there is a small and strange problem that appeared to me since my going to the spiritual world."
. The sole ruler replies in a voice that makes true death retreat, saying:
"And what is that problem? I have already told you, anything that stands in your way, torture it and destroy it, and have mercy by killing it or erasing it from existence."
. True death speaks and says:
"My lord, the problem is not in the entity itself but in what is behind it. My mortal son in the material world, the little boy called Sho, has obtained a very strange power that is somehow comparable to my power and from an unknown source."
. The sole ruler replies and says:
"Well then, why do you not try to go back to the past and tamper with fate and kill Sho when he is young, before he obtains that power?"
. True death replies in fear while his body trembles and says:
"I tried, my lord, indeed, and I tried to use the authority of your empty name, capable of erasing any logically possible existence, but but there is something golden in color like mist, a golden mist specifically, suppressing the authority of the name!"
. The sole ruler becomes extremely angry and speaks in a voice that makes true death tremble and put his head to the ground while the surrounding existence is about to be destroyed, and says:
"How is this by my right? This is impossible. It is not real. Nothing surpasses me. I am the absolute evil above everything, and everything beneath me. This means only one thing: it seems that that absolute truth is the one supporting him. I hate it, and I hate admitting it. I know its name. That I am the one, I am the despicable one. I do not like it and I will not like it. I am the devil himself. Go now. I will make you stronger until you come to me and take me out of what I am in."
. True death bows with all respect while the manifestation disappears, leaving true death who smiles maliciously and says:
"It is time now for the beginning of the real battle, O entities of chaos surrounding these worlds. Prepare yourselves, for I will feed you soon."
