In deep space, Rose streaks forward like a shooting star, her entire body wrapped in a blazing aura of light. She pushes herself faster and faster until she tears across the void at the speed of light.
Ahead, the colossal sun looms, radiating heat and power beyond comprehension. Rose clenches her teeth, refusing to slow. She slams into the blazing sun, her aura flaring like a shield as molten waves crash around her.
Her body trembles, skin blistering under the unbearable intensity. She screams, but holds firm.
"I… need to be strong… They're all depending on me!"
Her light aura expands, fighting against the sun's overwhelming fire. The heat sears her, threatening to consume her whole, but Rose focuses. She dives deeper into the sun's core, her essence drinking in its raging power.
Every breath is pain, every second a trial—but with sheer will, she gathers the sun's raw energy, pulling it into her veins, her spirit burning brighter than ever before.
In the dark space spirit realm, chaos rages like a storm.
The King hurls more miniature planets forward, each one burning with darkness. Ignis, encased within his colossal blaze dragon spirit, roars defiantly. His dragon surges through the void, smashing into the planets with fire-laced fury, shattering them apart.
The King narrows his eyes.
"Why must you resist? …Wait." His gaze sharpens, scanning the endless void. "Where is the other one?"
Suddenly, the realm shifts. A flock of glowing green energy birds tears through the fabric of space, spiraling wildly around the King. His face twists in confusion.
"What is going on?!"
The birds scatter, flashing emerald light across the realm. Then, in flickering bursts, Boa's spiritual body appears—phasing in and out, every reappearance charged with sparks of lightning.
The King hears his voice echo through the void:
"You're not the only one who can ascend to a higher power!"
The storm intensifies. Millions of emerald birds dive into the King's body in an instant, piercing his spirit and forcing him to roar in pain. His aura wavers.
Boa manifests fully in front of him, green aura raging like a tempest, lightning snapping around his body. In his hand, a colossal lightning bolt forms, pulsing with divine fury.
The King endures the pain and thrusts a finger forward—dozens of mini planets swarm at Boa. But from Boa's body, countless spiritual arms unfurl, massive and spectral, catching the planets mid-flight and holding them back.
Suddenly, the King's chest bursts with searing green light as the energy birds keep tearing into him. He growls:
"Impossible! Even if you've grown stronger, my will to win this battle is much greater than yours!"
Boa's eyes blaze. He charges, slamming the lightning bolt deep into the King's chest. The entire realm ripples with thunder as he roars:
"I know that far too well! I've seen all of your memories… Your spirit is an unstoppable force that even my honor cannot break! But I must win—no matter what!"
Boa drives forward, his body merging with the storm of green birds and lightning, diving into the King's very core. Power erupts. The King screams as light tears through him, bursting out his back, flooding the dark space realm with emerald brilliance.
Then—an explosion. The King collapses inward, his form unraveling into a spiraling galaxy of black and green, spinning violently in the void.
Ignis, his dragon spirit dissolving, floats in awe as the incoming planets around him vanish like smoke. His chest heaves as he stares at the swirling galaxy in the distance.
"Whatever Boa's doing… it's working!"
Boa plunges deeper into the King's spirit at a higher level of spiritual realm, sinking past the spinning galaxy into a realm even darker, even heavier. The void shifts into a vast ocean of grey, where trillions of pale, humanoid spirits wander endlessly. Their eyes glow faintly, hollow with sorrow.
He lands softly upon the ashen ground, but the weight of the realm presses against his chest. The spirits freeze, all turning toward him. Then—voices flood into his mind, sharp and relentless, echoing from every direction as he can feel all of their pain!
"Only our King can save us!"
"Our cause is greater than yours!"
"If he falls, our deaths will be in vain!"
"Die! Die! Die!"
"We've lost too much!"
The wave comes. The spirits rush like a tsunami, piling over Boa, burying him in grief and rage. Their weight crushes him, their cries stabbing into his soul.
Boa endures the pressure as he keeps his calmness.
"There's no way for me to beat an entire universe of spirits…" His aura flickers against the suffocating tide. "There's only one way to overcome this!"
With a roar, Boa's aura surges outward, bursting into radiant green and golden light. The spirits reel back as the grey realm fractures, cracks of color bleeding through the endless despair.
He raises his voice, the sound thundering across the spirit-universe:
"Your King has failed! He already lost his chance! Let me be the one to carry on your will!"
His body erupts in light—memories bursting free like luminous giant clouds, swirling through the realm. One by one, the spirits witness Boa's life:
—His years as a pawn in Pawn city.
—The crushing prison walls and his back-breaking toil in the mines.
—The friendships forged in fire and struggle.
—The battles against data beasts, against Nox, against impossible odds.
—The clasp of Basil's hand.
—Jen's smile.
—Crank's proud flex and unshakable composure.
—Yunbam's honor as he takes on Boa's name.
—The rebellion in Pawn City, the infiltration of Oasis, the cries of natives praying for him.
—His clash with the tribal leader.
—The desperate fight with the Blaze Dragon.
Every memory floods outward, painting Boa's journey of pain, resolve, and relentless will.
From the sea of spirits, one figure steps forward. A hooded woman pulls down her cowl—the Summoner. Her eyes widen as she watches Boa's memories, transfixed by the fire burning in his gaze as he charges the data dragon in a memory cloud.
Boa's voice reverberates, shaking the entire realm:
"I will win the Star Games! I will become a God—the right way! And when I do, I'll bring back your universe! I'll be a righteous God who preserves all life!"
The crowd of spirits trembles. From among them, a hulking figure emerges—the Blood Orc, his scarred face softened by awe. Then others follow: the Fairy, the Dwarf, even Franz. They walk toward Boa, drawn in by his words, his conviction.
Boa raises his arms, his aura surging brighter.
"But I can't do it alone! I need all of your support! With an entire universe backing me, my honor will be unbreakable—and my determination to become a God will be greater than his! Too much time has passed… your King has lost his chance! Give me your strength—let me carry on all your will! As only I am the rightful one to save you all!"
His voice shakes the grey realm to its core. The spirits quiver, torn between their loyalty to the fallen King.
Boa locks eyes with the Summoner as she steps out from the sea of grey. Her presence shines like a flicker of light in the storm. She places her hand on his shoulder, and in that instant, her spirit flares—green and yellow flames wrapping around her form.
She smiles softly.
"The King is far too gone. We must find another way… and you are the one who'll do it."
Boa nods, his chest swelling with certainty. One by one, her other summons appear—the Orc, the Fairy, the Dwarf, Franz. They each lay their hands on him, their bodies igniting in radiant light as they channel their faith into him.
The glow spreads outward. Spirits nearby hesitate, whispering their doubts:
"But… we already gave everything to the King."
"Can you really save us?!"
"You carry so much honor…"
"Why trust someone who isn't even from our universe?"
"Star Games…? What is that?!"
"I don't want to feel this way anymore!"
Boa yells, his voice echoing like thunder through the realm.
"Your King is corrupted by power and darkness! His determination is real—but ask yourselves: do you truly want to be saved by a God like him?! I will be the God of life! A God worthy of your pride and belief! Not a twisted creature drowning in darkness!"
The clouds of Boa's memories swirl around the realm, and the spirits see it clearly now—the King's form consumed in black worms, radiating pure malice. His noble will twisted into something monstrous.
The hesitation breaks. One by one, then by thousands, then by millions, spirits step forward. Their sorrow fades. Their despair burns away. Their bodies glow in green and golden light as they raise their hands toward Boa.
A chain reaction sweeps across the grey ocean until the entire realm blazes with light. Trillions of spirits ignite at once. Their honor rises like a flood, their madness purged by Boa's flame.
Boa lifts his fist higher, trembling, tears streaming down his face as he beholds it—the impossible overturn.
"I… I will carry all of you! With me, your honor, your faith, your hope will never fall again!"
The realm erupts, a universe reborn in his aura, as Boa becomes their new beacon of hope.
Back in the spirit realm of space, Ignis watches as a nearby galaxy begins to shrink. Lightning and green energy surge outward as Boa emerges, surrounded by flocks of radiant green energy birds.
The collapsing galaxy twists back into the form of the King, whose planetary essence pours into Boa. The King growls in agony as dark worms crawl across his body, his wings of pure green energy fading away.
The King roars.
"What did you do?! There's no way you convinced them all! How could I be betrayed by my own universe?!"
Boa's eyes burn with resolve.
"They've lost their faith in you. You're not worthy to save them at all. Look at yourself... but don't worry. I'll save you too—once I become God."
The King's expression twists in shock as the darkness overwhelms him. Boa's back bursts open, six radiant wings of pure energy spreading wide.
He soars to Ignis, seizes him tightly, and in that moment, the King explodes into a torrent of darkness that floods the entire realm.
In Boa's chamber, both Ignis and Boa awaken at the same time. Everyone around them breathes in relief, and Prekayda bursts into tears of joy, rushing to hug Boa tightly.
Boa tries to stand but collapses to his knees, drained of strength. Ignis lies back on the floor, exhaling.
"I can't believe we did it!" Ignis says.
Prekayda kneels beside Boa, her voice firm but warm.
"You've overdone it with spirit traveling. You both must rest."
Boa shakes his head weakly.
"The others are still fighting..."
Prekayda touches his shoulder, steadying him.
"Don't worry. They've got backup."
Boa stumbles across the chamber and lowers himself beside Ignis.
"Come on, help me out a bit," he mutters. "They'll need our help."
He clasps Ignis's hand, their auras intertwining.
Ignis smiles faintly.
"We'll do as much as we can..."
Suddenly, a yellow energy bird and a red energy bird emerge from their joined hands. The radiant creatures soar out of the building, past the village, and into the darkness—splitting off in different directions to carry their power forward.
Meanwhile, in the ocean-split arena, Jen and Tomi stagger on their feet, battered and exhausted. Their bodies are cut and bruised, their breath ragged. Across from them, the King advances slowly, each step dripping with oppressive darkness.
Tomi wipes blood from his mouth.
"Looks like we've got no choice but to use our ace card... or else we die here."
Jen nods, her eyes filled with resolve.
"I'm sorry, Boa... but I'll use it if it means killing this creature."
Tomi spreads his glowing tarot cards in the air, selecting one with trembling hands. At the same time, Jen focuses—her blood cells racing, multiplying, flooding her veins. A blue liquid seeps into her bloodstream as her eyes flicker wildly between yellow and blue.
But then, the King suddenly halts. His chest bursts open as glowing green birds erupt from within him, scattering into fading light.
He roars in fury. Darkness writhes like snakes around his body, tightening and twisting. His once-bright green wings corrode, dripping away into black slime that reshapes into wings of corruption. The shadows spiral upward, merging into a towering mass with the King at its core.
The tower of darkness sprouts enormous spider legs that crash into the ground. The tower consumes the King and then forms into a giant dark monster, with a crown of jagged slime, the monster's face stretching into a colossal grey skull with glowing eyes. The arena runes shatter as his darkness blade cleaves through them—returning the runes to Melon, who now wears them as armor.
The battlefield warps into chaos. The ocean splits then becomes a massive vortex of darkness swirling around them.
Tomi stares upward
"It's even stronger than before!"
Jen's body flickers with dangerous blue light—until a piercing cry echoes through the chaos.
Melon.
The whale's anguished call shakes the ground, sending out sonic waves that cut through the vortex. Jen steadies herself, the blue fading from her veins as she whispers softly:
"...Melon..."
The monster 's spider legs begins to move and carve through the earth like moving chess pieces. Tomi and Jen dodges as Melon rolls across the field, narrowly avoiding the crushing blows.
Tomi activates his card, shouting with all his might.
"The Sun!"
The card shoots high above the dark monster and erupts, unleashing a big burning sun. Flames roar downward, engulfing the monster in searing fire.
But the abomination raises its wings of slime, wrapping half the sun in shadow. The blazing sphere dims as darkness swallows it whole. Tomi collapses to his knees, blood dripping from his lips.
"Damn it... I don't have enough energy left for my ace..."
Jen tries to force the blue aura again—but Boa's voice echoes in her memory, his warning "Don't turn blue... it'll kill you."
She falters, trembling as Melon swallow Tomi and her.
The monster devours the last of the sun, pulling it into its mass. It lashes out with sharp spider legs, one slicing across Melon's side. Blood gushes out as Melon roars in agony. Another blow lands, but this time his rune-armor holds, deflecting the strike.
Desperate, Melon rolls and tumbles, dodging the barrage, though Jen and Tomi are tossed violently inside his mouth.
Jen screams, clutching at the slick surface.
"No, Melon!"
Then suddenly—the spider legs freeze mid-strike. The monster looks up.
A brilliant aura descends from above. A spiritual griffin dives from the light, unleashing a storm of orange energy spheres that crash into the beast in a chain of fiery explosions.
Melon spits Tomi and Jen out, both landing hard on the ground. Jen scrambles up, her gaze fixed on her bleeding whale companion.
"Melon!" she cries.
Tomi staggers beside her, eyes widening.
"Wait... isn't that-"
Jen turns around—just in time to see the griffin shift mid-flight, feathers unraveling into the form of Crank. His legs blaze with spiritual energy, reshaping into kangaroo limbs.
He launches forward with blinding speed, kicking the monster's skull-face again and again. Each strike detonates with explosive force until the dark monster crashes into the vortex wall.
