"How strong do you think Antares will be?" I asked Jin Woo, he didn't even need to answer my question, I knew what his answer already was.
"This will be the hardest fight we will ever face, you are weaker than me, I'm not sure if you should fight him with me." He silently replied, we looked at the stars in Japan together, they were beautiful, if the definition of beauty was to make one's heart flutter, this was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, seeing the most beautiful thing with my most treasured person alive next to me was all I really needed, I could die in the next few weeks, but I'm happy I had this memory.
"Together, we will beat Antares, don't worry." I reassured, resting my head on his shoulder, I wish time would stop here and allow me to stay in this moment, I could feel that an invader from another the world was coming, his mana signature was approaching, though slowly, it was coming.
A blaze of fire shot into the air, then another, illuminating the sky with the stars, Tusk, a high orc soldier, was having a contest with a dragon to see who could shoot a larger pillar of flame, it was a childish contest, but one that was somehow...cute?
"Should I tell the world about the shadow army coming out of the gate?" He asked, I didn't move and simply looked at the shadow army down below training for the battle to come.
"Of course, we do owe them an explanation about what happened, we gathered the whole world and had no battle." I replied, I felt the presence below of Igris and Beru duking it out, lightning crackled and the Ant King screeched, a clash of Marshals was happening down below.
Bellion walked towards us, Jin Woo questioned his loyalty to him, but he swore his unending loyalty for him, he told us the story of how he grew to work under Ashborn, until I slowly drifted to sleep.

I awoke to a message on the wall, the shadow army disappeared from the forest below us, the message read:
"I'm returning to Korea to reveal the truth that we both know, please come if you want."
Travelling between Korea and Japan used to take me thirty minutes, but I knew that Jin Woo would prepare a flight for me, shadows formed under me, and a large wyvern came out, Kaisel, Jin Woo's favourite ride, has come to pick me up.
Ten minutes later, I arrived at Korea's Hunter Association, normally, it was Korea being called to other countries, with our average hunter power being laughably low. Now, with the birth of the strongest hunter in history being from Korea, and Asia's second strongest hunter allying with them, they were the one calling the entire world to them, even Thomas Andre bowed down to the strength of the two strongest hunters in history.
Jin Woo told the gathering hunters the story of the Sovereigns and Rulers, and about Antares, the strongest Sovereign, equal to only the Shadow Sovereign.
"This is a load of bullshit, this isn't some kind of fairy tale, this probably is just some-." A Canadian S Rank, Jay Mills, protested before getting cut off.

"Both of us are superior to you in every way possible, now shut up and let him talk." I whispered inside of his mind, all color drained from his face as he realized what happened.
"There is one notable enemy we have sensed, he has an army with many Kamish-level monsters, if it appears in any of the supermassive gates, we will be on our way immediately."
Countless people in the crowed expressed their unbelief, even I would be, if I were my old self, Kamish was the worst calamity to ever exist in human history, taking three hundred thousand American lives, and the lives of top class hunters from around the globe, now multiple of them are coming?
The shadow army was dispersed into the shadows of every hunter in the area, including mine, though Jin Woo definitely had a plan for Thomas Andre, as Bellion, Tusk, Greed, Iron, Igris and Beru were sent to his shadow.
"I can vouch for what he said, both of us are Sovereigns fallen to Earth, this battle happened once before, between the Rulers and Sovereigns, now it's happening again, but it's Sovereigns versus Sovereigns." I told everyone in the room, I didn't bother with the translation earbuds, this message was sent directly into their minds.
"As for who we're going to support, we have decided that Jin Woo will protect China, while I go to India. Though there is no guaranteed chance the enemy might appear there, the plan is that if he appeared in say, Canada, Jin Woo and I would go there immediately to engage the enemy." I whispered into the minds of the crowd, Jay Mills knew that I was targeting him, to be honest, I don't like this Jay person, I wouldn't mind if he were to die.
The conference ended there and then, of course, there were many questions and not many answers, I am the Queen of the Mind after all, I could read the thoughts and emotions that every one of these hunters had, mostly confusion, anger and for some reason, a few felt patriotic, this was the perfect time to prove their loyalty to their country, but they would play near no part in this battle.
"Shall we go over the plan once more?" I asked Jin Woo, in the small meeting room were three people, me, Thomas Andre, and Jin Woo.
"So, Thomas engages the first Sovereign he sees, look out for either a hooded man with horns coming out of his head, or a humanoid figure with blonde hair, once he fights them, the Marshal and higher level shadows will come and fight them alongside Thomas, Bellion already has experience fighting the Sovereign of Iron Body, so it would be fortunate if that was the one you guys run into." Jin Woo started, Thomas nodded to this idea, not only was it the one that has highest chances of survival, it would also allow him to jump into the action, that's what he wants to do.
"Mizuki will help clear a path towards Antares, but do not destroy their spiritual bodies, just control them to turn onto one another, then kill them, letting me make them arise once more as shadows." I nodded, with grim determination visible in my eyes.
"And I will face down Antares on my own, if Mizuki finishes off the Dragon Army fast enough, she may help me at bringing him down, though personally, I am against this idea." Jin Woo finished, this plan was crafted for over a few days with the minds Bellion, Igris, Jin Woo and I.
The end of the world is coming, and it is up to us to try and stop it.
