While Kazuki sees himself in a white void, he hears Diablo's voice asking him "Do you really want to die, Kazuki?". Kazuki turns around and sees Diablo standing behind him, hands in his pockets "Over here, kid.". Kazuki is surprised "Diablo? How did you... I don't understand what's going on."
Diablo then explains to him, a soft smirk on his face
"Think of this place as a space between me and you. This is an infinite space I created a while back, it looks pretty neat, doesn't it? I think I should create galaxies, or maybe a few universes in this space. Now back to the question, you aren't planning on giving up, are you?"
Kazuki, with his expression starting to sadden, replied
"I don't know. For some reason, I just feel sad. I found the truth of who my dad was, saw how Shinki became a criminal and watched how the higher ups sent people after my dad's life. It's not fair, now I'm fighting this insane woman who is casually beating me like some kind of fodder! I don't think I can do this anymore. I'm tired of this!"
Diablo then tells Kazuki,
"I get it, I feel your pain. I had the same kind of feeling when I was your age. I wished I never existed, and people always treated me like some kind of virus. But at least I had people who could bring me up, Sughi, Veronica, Levi, Ichika, they were always there for me. If you give up here and now, how do you think Alex and Serena would feel? Alex would probably go on a rampage, and Serena will probably be still crying about you in the next 20 years."
Kazuki then says,
"At this point I've lost all hope, I mean... I can't even express how I feel right now."
Diablo just smiles and pats Kazuki on the head and says,
"Don't worry, that's why I'm your teacher, I'm here to help. You know what? I'll lend you a tiny bit of my power for a few seconds. You use that power to help yourself, the rest is up to you Kazuki!", a smirk curled up on his face as he looked at his student "So go wild!"
Lady Rimeta was laughing loudly and menacingly as the large amount of energy bursting out from her body was forming a thunderstorm that was covering the earth. Her voice echoed through the air and the entire world
"Now, be gone and fade away! You good for nothing waste of existence!"
Rimeta gathered a terrifying amount of energy into her hands and blasted it at Kazuki at full power. As Kazuki was getting back up, a dragon's head made out of his purple lightning starts to shield his body. Kazuki yelled
"AINT NO FUCKING WAY! AIN'T NO FUCKING WAY I'D DIE YET! YOU OLD PRUNE!".
Suddenly, the large dragon head formed around his body releases a loud roar. Within moments, a large number of dragons started to pop out of a portal from the ground and launch themselves at the giant attack approaching Kazuki. As they clash with the attack, the dragons start to swallow the giant beam Rimeta had fired.
Lady Rimeta was in shock "What the???!! How??! What's going on?! Where did this sudden power come from?!"
Kazuki growled, anger in his voice and his very core
"Burn it all! Incinerate it all! Let nothing but ashes of my enemies remain! Pay heed to my commands. DRAGONS OF DOOM!".
All of a sudden, the dragons start to have symbols on their heads. They gathered tramendous amounts of energy into their mouths and launched a powerful beam of energy that overtook Lady Rimeta's attacks and started to incinerat her. Lady Rimeta screamed in anger "THIS CANT BE! IT CANT BE! I CANT DIE HERE! I WILL NOT ALLOW MYSELF TO DIE HERE!"
Kazuki then screams,
"DIE ALREADYYYYYYY!"
Lady Rimeta then burns away while screaming due to Kazuki's intense amount of energy overtaking her. The attack was so powerfull and intense to the point it flew to the sky and clears off the storm cloud covering the earth's surface. As the sky clears away, still dark, the dragons begin to disappear. After they disappeared, Kazuki collapses on the floor. His spirit mark then changes from a diamond to a star with circles around its edges. Kazuki had now unlocked a new level stage of power.
Meanwhile Diablo who was in a dark void floating in a cube, was cackling
"Well, he pulled it off! Damn I'm a great teacher. Well now, do your best Kazuki, coz from now, it's all you. And as for Alex, make sure to not hold back! Go all out."
Meanwhile in the continent of war that was nothing but a giant wasteland that used to be a continent, Ukina was standing on a large hill while looking at the sky where day and night was mixed together. As she was doing so, she muttered herself while smiling,
"Seems like the angel and the B-rank shadow puppets I sent were defeated. It looks like they are all dead as well, Sorata, Kirihai, Kenji and Zora. You all did a great job, now it's my turn. When this entire war is over in my victory, I'll bring you all back to life and grant you all power greater than your expectations! Watch me."
Ukina then hears Veronica saying,
"Yoooooo! Are you just going to stand there and be having your inner monologue or you're going to box? Choose one!"
Ukina looks down the hill and sees Veronica standing with the wind blowing her hair. Ukina smirks
"If it isn't the strongest woman on the planet, Veronica Welford. The only person and woman to achieve S-rank level in the modern age. It's a pleasure."
Veronica responds,
"I take it that you're the mastermind of the number one villain group in the world, Ukina!"
Ukina smiles and tells Veronica,
"I see I'm popular huh, it's really nice having fame, isn't it?"
Veronica then smirks and replies,
"Yeah it is! But unfortunately, the next big talk will be how I was able to defeat you! Surely that will give me more fame."
Ukina's smirk just widened
"Diablo while holding back couldn't defeat me, what chance do you have?"
Suddenly, a yellow beam of light bursts out of Ukina's body, causing a blinding light to shine all over the wasteland. After the beam disappears, Ukina's body is seen covered with yellow light as well as two angel wings also covered with golden light. Veronica was a bit amused, she realized "No way! That's the amount of power she used to seal Diablo!".
Ukina with this new found power of her's looked at Veronica with a smug smirk as she stood on the hill
"Behold! The divine power of the Gods. With this power, I have already reached God rank! Give me an entertaining fight, Veronica!"
Veronica smirks, almost laughing
"Sure! I'll give you one to remember, but I've got to warn you, I'm pretty rough!"
