Their ”boss” had finally arrived, and to my surprise, my eyes widened, as what greeted me wasnʼt a demon or a vampire. Indeed, the person who greeted me was a young boy, not looking older than twelve, with short white hair and glowing golden eyes.

And a halo resembling a radiant sun above his head.

Yes, a Halo.

This young boy wasnʼt normal at all, was he human? I couldnʼt quite tell; he had a strange aura that seemed to distort everything. His presence, albeit fragmented, was immense.

And…

…

Wait a second.

In that moment, I felt something, as a realization came crashing down on me.

The one before me wasnʼt normal, and yet his presence felt ”warmth” to me, familiar, and yet alien too, filled with hatred.

Thereʼs no way, right?

”Itʼs hilarious how things have turned to be…”

He directed his eyes towards me, smiling lightly.

”Isnʼt this quite ironic? After you took everything from me, and then also freed me from my eternal prison, youʼre now my prisoner… Kireina.”

The boyʼs eyes glowed, as his smile revealed that this young boy was not human at all, just as I suspected, he was something else, a monster wearing the skin of a human child.

Yes, there was a monster within him.

And that monster was nobody else but him, someone I didnʼt really think I would see for a while until I were to visit Abyss again, but there was no hurry for that.

I decided to take things leisurely, and this man simply flew away from my mind, I was going to get everyone that got lost here, then help Frank find the key, and lastly, rescue those sealed into that Frozen Moon.

With the time dilation, I really imagined I didnʼt have to worry, before he knew it, I wouldʼve done all these things.

But I was wrong, completely wrong.

He came here too, of course he could, if even Noah did, everyone could.

This world, which I thought could be my second home, or maybe my whole new home altogether, as I didnʼt really plan to go back to Genesis any time soon…

It wasnʼt the sanctuary that I imagined, and I shouldʼve already thought that when I fought Noah.

But yes, that was him, he was here…

The one and only being that once governed Abyss, its original God alongside the Moon Goddess.

”The Sun God…?!”

But why was he even working with Vampires? That doesnʼt make any sense, arenʼt they all enemies? Did he really become their friend just so he could come to fuck me over?

”Yes, the very same… And it seems all of you fools have been set up.”

As he spoke, he looked back at the three other vampires, who suddenly made clueless expressions on their faces.

”What?”

”W-What do you mean, boss?”

”We were?”

”Yes, her real name is Kireina. She has the capabilities of easily freeing herself, the only reason she allowed you to kidnap her was… well, canʼt you guess it?”

”Wait, Kireina…”

”Kireina?!”

”Sheʼs her?!”

The trio glanced at me, as I shrugged while winking at them, they quickly knew who I was.

Well, not like it mattered now, as I could feel someone coming.

Crack, crack…!

CRAAASH!

In that very moment, the Corrupted Domain shook and then shattered, and as the Domainʼs walls were destroyed, an immense wave of chaos emerged, coursing like a primordial sea of darkness everywhere across the Domainʼs red skies.

The chaos distorted the surroundings and the skies, turning everything black and monstrous, it seemed that they were here, as per the instructions…

”I have come! You bastards, you will give me back my daughter!”

Yep, it was him.

My fatherʼs presence had finally emerged, and alongside him, a gigantic army composed of the Chaos Gateʼs elites came rushing in through the hole he forcefully broke through into this Corrupted Domain.

As planned, they were here!

And yet…

Why couldnʼt I shake this uneasiness I felt when that guy was in front of me?

Honestly, I cannot really hate him, whatever he did was in the long past, and he was mostly a victim, I freed him, but I took his sun.

And he wants it back, most likely, and I cannot do that.

”Hmph, I have to say, Kireina, youʼve played your cards well…”

”Hah, oh well, itʼs sad that things will end for you so quickly.”

Nonetheless, I donʼt care if he was a victim or something, the asshole is clearly here to mess things up.

I cannot let him do as he pleases.

And yet…

”However, it seems youʼre severely underestimating my abilities.”

The Sun Godʼs eyes glowed, as he smiled confidently, his power surged like a sun itself, shining brightly everywhere.

The shockwave of light was so strong it pushed me away, burning my skin painfully.

”In fact, I wanted this to happen!”

As he laughed, the Sun God raised his hand into the skies, as bright light manifested from his hands, clashing against my fatherʼs chaos with immense power.

I never imagined he had this much strength!

What the hell is this guy?!

BOOOMMM!!!

The shockwave generated from his clash against my father reverberated through the entire Corrupted Domain, as his light encompassed everything, generating a Domain of Divine Sunlight, while my fatherʼs Chaos generated a Domain of Chaotic Darkness.

They were polar opposites, light against darkness, order against chaos… and somehow, the Sun God wanted my father and my family to come here? Did he expect my plan ahead of time? Or was he so confident in his power?

”Who the hell is this guy?! Where did you even come from?! This level of Divine Power…! Itʼs almost Cosmic?!”

My father was shocked just as much as I was, his Chaotic Darkness rapidly expanding and trying to battle the Sunlight of the Sun God, which only became more and more intense.

”Greetings, my good sir. You must be the Boss of the Chaos Gate, right? Mother of our dear Kireina over here.”

”GIVE ME BACK MY DAUGHTER!”

My fatherʼs form distorted into a furious head made of swirling black clouds, his eyes glowing with purple and black thunder as he rained upon the Sun God immense cosmic and chaotic power.

However, the Sun God raised his hands, creating giant shields of sunlight that began to simply negate his chaos and darkness instantly.
