Chapter 87 - Ch 87 (The Beginning Ofter The End)

Sho rushes toward the True Death at a speed beyond time, at an unprecedented speed, and uses the Shimmer Claws ability to release blue dust in the shape of blue claws, like blue mist filled with countless transcendent conceptual blue stars. Then suddenly the True Death grabs Sho's hand and says:

"Do you think tearing me apart is enough to kill me?"

The True Death closes his fist and directs it toward Sho's face, causing the Flow ability to activate automatically, turning his face into a form that adapts to the attack. Then Sho's body becomes like blue liquid filled with stars, moving away from the True Death, and Sho suddenly makes the stars while he is liquid shine all at once, distracting the True Death, so Edward activates the Sky-Cutting ability, and a black ring rushes toward the True Death, scattering dust everywhere.

Suddenly the True Death disappears completely from in front of them and stands at the River of Absolute Life, and simply takes out the Book of Tonyaris and the Stone of Annihilation. While everyone looks toward him, he speaks, saying:

"Enough for now. I have gotten what I wanted. By the way, did any of you notice anything strange here?"

Suddenly everyone's abilities break down completely, and Sho is shocked to find that he and everyone else are trapped inside the black mist.!

Then suddenly everything surrounding them turns white, while a strange black mist moves through this whiteness, and the cages of all Sho's friends and the people of Shinza stand above.

Everyone stands helpless while the True Death laughs and says:

"This is the end. All your efforts have suddenly ended. Nothing is worth it. Die in peace now."

Edward, Sho, Finn, and even Braet all feel helpless. Then everyone looks toward Sho, and Braet speaks and says:

"Take it out now. You understand what I mean. You are our only hope, Sho."

Then the True Death speaks and says:

"Come on, take out my other son. Make him come out. If they dare to do that, come on, summon him. He is the only one among you all who compares to me."

Sho grits his teeth and tries to summon the Fool, only to notice that he refuses to come out. Then he speaks inwardly and says:

"What is wrong with you? Why do you not want to come out?"

The Fool becomes tense and says:

"I am afraid. I do not want to fail."

And while the True Death is about to take out all eight books and the seven stones so that he can summon the ninth book, Sho continues communicating with the Fool and says:

"You must come out now. We will all die. You are my only hope, my brother. You are my only hope. Only you decide whether we die or not."

And suddenly the black mist world and all the cages shake as Loki, the Defender Team, Kai, Bacoleps, Shinza, the Thousand, and Hian look from the cages. Then, without any sound at all, the golden mist emerges from above, piercing the roots to appear from inside Sho and wrapping him completely in silence, as if the conceptual sound does not exist. The Fool feels an unmatched terrifying power, while Braet looks on in absolute astonishment and says in a low voice:

"The system has malfunctioned. It has surpassed the absolute limit by far. He is at least a thousand times stronger than me!"

The True Death himself is shocked by that aura and hides the books again. Then the tentacles that resemble octopus hands emerge, while the Fool appears differently: the robe that was blue and filled with countless blue stars has become golden, and its stars have become golden as well.

Suddenly, without any introduction, the Fool moves at great speed. While the True Death looks at him, the True Death hears the sound of a drop of water falling into the sea. Then suddenly everyone stops moving except the True Death, who sees the Fool in every logically possible place because of his speed, as if he is standing still, which shocks him greatly.

Then suddenly a very powerful light appears, as if the True Death is standing before the first, highest light. Then suddenly the True Death disappears, disappears completely as if he had never existed, and Sho stops, and everyone returns to their consciousness.

Suddenly everyone screams with joy, and Braet is extremely shocked. The Fool stands beside everyone and lowers the cages, and everyone exits the cages. Then he looks toward Shinza and smiles, saying:

"I told you I would bring your people back to you."

Then Finn smiles and says:

"This is my teacher, this is my master, he is not strong, he is the strongest."

Sho notices that everyone is still present in the black mist world that has not disappeared.!

Suddenly, without anyone noticing, a black shadow appears from behind Sho, then suddenly the True Death strikes the Fool with an unusual blow, a very strange blow that pulls the Fool himself out of Sho as if he were a spiritual aura, so Sho returns to his state before the golden mist. Then suddenly, while everyone watches, the black mist turns them one by one into black dust. Sho cannot understand anything, cannot express himself or speak, he only looks at the True Death's hand, where the Fool looks toward Sho with deep sorrow and says:

"I am terribly sorry. I failed you."

Then suddenly the True Death completely erases the Fool! Sho cannot comprehend or understand anything, standing only as if in a dream while he is stripped of his power.

Kai is erased without a sound. The people of Shinza are erased before her. Shinza looks toward Sho and runs toward him, screaming loudly and calling for help. Sho runs toward her and holds her hand, and it evaporates in his hand without a sound. Then Hian and the Thousand also evaporate, and he too looks toward Sho in sorrow and complete despair before disappearing. Then Edward is erased as well, looking toward Sho and saying:

"We tried..."

Finn runs and goes into Sho's embrace, then suddenly weakens and falls to the ground. Sho looks into his eyes, and then Finn says while tears fall from his eyes:

"Please do not let me go. Please do not leave me. I do not want to die. I do not want to die. Please, please do not leave me like the last time."

Suddenly Finn too evaporates, and Loki looks toward the sky and says:

"So this is the end. I did not do what I wanted and I will not be able to anymore."

Then Loki looks toward Sho while his hand evaporates and says:

"I will see you in the void..."

Braet disappears, smiling toward Sho and putting on his glasses, then says:

"Here I am, the absolute limit that was impossible to erase disappears. I was the one who filled the void. I wonder, after I disappear, who will fill it?"

Then Braet disappears, leaving Bacoleps, who approaches Sho while he too disappears. Sho does not move, he only cries. Sho no longer understands anything. He no longer distinguishes between truth and fiction, reality and illusion, death and life, existence and nothingness. He is only standing, looking with a broken spirit, a spirit that cannot express its pain to anyone, a shattered spirit. Braet says:

"Do not burden yourself with sadness. You did what you had to. I always thought that good is what wins. It seems that was only a cinematic line. No problem."

Bacoleps smiles in Sho's face and hugs him, and Sho also hugs him. Bacoleps is deeply moved, and his eyes tear up as he screams and says to Sho:

"Please do not let me go. Please."

Sho's eyes tear with blood from the intensity of the continuous crying, while the True Death smiles and everything becomes completely black, everything surrounding him black. Then the True Death says:

"You have not lost everything yet. There is still that Lord of Mysteries inside you."

Suddenly, with a simple movement, the True Death pulls the Lord of Mysteries out from inside Sho's consciousness, who looks toward him, while the True Death erases him and says:

"So this is the end. It seems I was wrong. This golden mist was not shining, it was resisting the final death."

Suddenly the Lord of Mysteries is erased completely. Then the True Death approaches and embraces Sho, stroking his head and saying:

"It is fine, it is fine. Do not be sad. Everything will be alright. I was only playing with you."

"Hush hush hush, do not cry. Calm down. You will go to them. Do not worry. I will make you go to them. Calm down and do not cry."

And simply, the True Death activates the eight books and the seven stones, causing the place to tremble, and a tremendous light appears in which the Book of Divinity appears. Then the True Death opens it and begins to disappear, looking at Sho and saying:

"This is the last gift for you."

Suddenly everything surrounding Sho collapses, and the True Death destroys the symbol of the Lord of Mysteries, causing Sho to lose all authority and fall into the abyssal void, while the True Death sends pieces of his absolute black energy toward Sho, who sees a faint golden mist like the last spark coming from him. Then suddenly this mist merges with the black energy and pierces Sho's body, who has lost everything, and Sho is cut in half from the middle, and the True Death disappears completely.

Absolute silence spreads, while Sho's body tries to recover but to no avail. In Sho's final moments he remembers everything he went through with the Fool, all the laughs, all the moments. He remembers sitting with his friends. He remembers everything and all the hope he lost, so he becomes extremely angry, an indescribable anger, but to no avail, because the black energy that split his soul into two halves penetrates his soul more and more and prevents any attempt to heal him.

"Only if I were sharper. Only if I did not care about the entities. All of this is just an illusion. If only I were an entity that says the end justifies the means. But now I am going to die."

Sho's consciousness begins to fade gradually, and he loses consciousness completely.

Suddenly the black energy stops destroying him, as it feels that the entity is familiar and similar in the components of its existence to the owner of that energy, so the black energy decides to merge with him.!

Sho disappears suddenly from this world.

Suddenly Sho wakes up and opens his eye to see himself on the bed in a room exactly like his own. He is shocked and feels joy, and he quickly stands up from the bed, saying:

"Was I dreaming? It seems it was a dream."

Then Sho raises his voice as he opens the door and says:

"Mom, Dad, I woke up."

Sho opens the door and is shocked to find a different house from his own. He walks a few steps to see a transparent balcony and sees a strange sun through it, as if he is in a dream. Then he looks around everywhere and says:

"I do not understand anything. Where am I now?"

Then suddenly Sho opens his eye again and sees himself on the bed.!
