"Tell me, Josuke..." said Monster Emperor, as he kicked Josuke to the ground. "What is instinct? Hm?"

"I don't know..." Josuke said, trying to slowly pick himself up.

The pair are at the Edge of Everything. Where reality, time, and space cannot exist.

*CRACK*

"It's the innate behavior in response to a stimulus... A behavior is done by animals... You and I... We're both animals..." he said, as he snapped Josuke's arm. He cries in terror. "And here we are, Josuke... Here we are at the Edge of Everything... And you think you're able to sacrifice everything... Here you are having nothing to solve or fix any problem... Powerless... Weak... Pathetic... I wish that you'd be stronger."

The Monster Emperor grabs Josuke's face and bashes it into the glass-like floor, cracking it. The Monster Emperor then scrapes his face into the broken glass-like substance as he screams in pain.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! OOOOOOOOOH GOD!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

He sobs.

The two Arks of the Covenant begin floating around The Monster Emperor.

"I am sorry... But my soul must fuse with yet another soul!" he cackled. "And my urge to destroy and absorb... shall be relieved!"

Josuke sees a view of everyone, having won the battle.

"MUDA!!!"

A white Stand similar to The World had appeared behind him and punched those three worlds: The Prince, The Grimm, and the Dimension Between.

The Monster Emperor is now golden in color. His head, tail, hands, and feet are white, however.

Everyone... is erased.

He gulps.

The two worlds that once were... were eaten... by The Monster Emperor.

"They have granted me... Heaven... For my resolve... had won," he said, in tears. "Why did you let this happen, Josuke!? JOSUKE!?"

"You're insane," trembled Josuke. He wept and in tears he watched his family get eaten.

"I NEVER WANTED TO BE A GOD!!!" he yelled. "Mother turned me into this! This! This! This!"

*CRACK CRACK CRACK*

He kept on punching Josuke.

"THIS!!! THIS!!! THIS!!!" The Monster Emperor sobbed loudly. "THIS!!! THIS!!!" he growled and roared, woging into several Cryptids, some even what we haven't seen before.

*CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK*

Josuke's hair flickered silver.

He pulls Josuke's hair.

"I'm a New God now... ARE YOU HAPPY!?" he asked, enraged. "I WANTED TO BE NORMAL!!!"

These words resonated in Josuke's heart. His eyes open.

"So did I," he whispered with a soft and shaky voice. "I wanted to be normal..." he sobbed. "That's all I've ever wanted.

That was it... Just a normal kid. Living an everyday life. B-But now... *cough* *SPLAT*... I'm far from it... I'm too far gone... Too far gone in the bizarre...

But that doesn't matter now... Not anymore...

What matters is my family..."

Blue cosmic energies begin resonating around Josuke's body as he slowly began to levitate.
