"Kahaha! That was certainly interesting, wasn't it?" asked a masculine voice.

"Hohoho, Heavenly Emperor-sama, are you looking for a revenge match for yourself?" asked another man.

These two were Indra and the First-Generation Sun Wukong. They had watched the exhibition match between [Team Dragon Legacy] and [Team Transcendent Time]. They, like many others were looking forward to the tournament that would commence in a day. The prospect of fighting other powerful people from different factions and mythologies intrigued them.

"I might. How about you? Didn't you recently say you were retiring? And yet you decided to create your own team and invited the First-Generation Zhu Bajie, First-Generation Sha Wujing, the Dragon King Yu-Long and Prince Nezha into it. Are you trying to live out the last moments of your youth?" asked Indra.

Sun Wukong simply laughed at the question. "That, we are. However, what kind of wish do you want to ask if you win, Heavenly Emperor-sama~? I doubt young Jin will allow you to fight Shiva in a war, and even if you ignore everyone and start one, he will certainly intervene."

Indra stared at Sun Wukong for a few seconds before he looked back at the screen in front of them. "Well, either way, if I do stir up some trouble, I get to fight either Shiva or Jin seriously, won't I? I want to taste the power of an outer god to its fullest, kakaka~!"

Sun Wukong shook his head. "The one thing me and my comrades share is your passion for causing trouble, although the types we like are less...chaotic."

"By the way, what plans does Jin have for those Evie and Phantasma bastards?" Indra asked while taking a sip of his drink that was beside him.

"I have not heard too much detail, however...he said he plans on taking the 'war' to them after the Games go onto the main stage. However, before that, he'll simply deal with the troublemakers in our universe," replied Sun Wukong.

"The remnants of the Khaos Order, huh? Well, if it's him it'll go down smoothly. Well...I might as well stir up some trouble for the games, too, huh? I can't wait to fight the teams that have been under his care. They'll surely be entertaining fights!" Indra shouted and laughed again.

"If it's coming from you, it will surely become a reality," replied Sun Wukong.

Aaron Toole's Soliloquy

A day has passed since the start of the tournament and it's in full swing. Many teams have already fought each other at various locations as there were many stadiums built for it. My own new base in the Dimensional Gap will be done soon. Antares said he wanted to go over a few touch-ups before letting me go there and then allow the rest of the supernatural to come visit it and let some Games be played there.

However, today...it was a moody day for certain people. Looking over at Akeno, she had mixed feelings about the entire thing, and Suzaku wasn't here today, but me and a few others will be going over to the Himejima clan, and the other clans for a few funerals.

During the war, Lapis killed a lot of people, this also included several people from the Five Principal Clans—one of them was Suou. Many people in the clan were saddened by his death, even Shuri and Suzaku to my surprise. Akeno, Tobio, Sae and Baraqiel were also coming with me to this funeral.

I went and checked him out along with a few elders and executives...and they were already long gone, their bodies were soulless. That's why Suzaku left me along with Lavinia when I was going around the Faerie Kingdom. She was called to that.
