Sorin jumps back and readies his sword. "You feel around the same level of strength as me." Sorin says with a grin. Anix sighs and takes off his wrist blades. "I won't even need them." He mumbles as a small blast of black energy forms a ring around him. "Kai, he doesn't seem to know I possess the powers of the God of Death." Anix says as he instantly appears behind Sorin and puts his palm to Sorin's back. A small blast of black energy rips Sorin in half. "That was way too easy." Anix mumbles as Sorin's top half turns to dust and regrows instantly on his main body. The remnants of the curtain still wrapped around his waist lightly. "Looks like I can't beat you either." Sorin says as he picks his sword off the ground and sheathes it. I hear Ragnarok giggle. As I look to her I see her carving her name into the concrete with her finger. "This planet sure is soft." She mumbles as Anix walks over to her. "I still can't wrap my head around her being Ragnarok." He says while staring at her. She instantly jumps up and dusts herself off. "That settles it, we shall have a fight tournament." She says proudly as I sigh. "No, we won't, because you could easily win." I mumble as she frowns. "Then how about I prove myself!" She yells as Anix looks at me. "Why is she so hyper?" He asks as I wave my hand. "Don't ask me, I still don't understand myself." I reply as I instantly have a thought pop into my head. "Hey, Ragnarok?" I ask as she looks at me. "Hm?" She blankly stares at me. "In all my visions of Ragnarok, the giant demon thing, your pet, it spoke. Could it really speak?" I ask as she laughs. "No, I was just manipulating your conscious to make you realize how big of a threat I am. Because let's be honest, I don't look very scary." She says with a smile. "I can understand that, kind of." I mumble as I see the DHC agents start to leave. "Guess they're realizing how weak they've become compared to us." Anix says as Ragnarok pats my shoulder. I quickly look at her and see her smiling. "We need to talk." She says as she instantly teleports herself and me to another dimension. "Kai, have you stopped to think about your life?" She asks as I stop and think. "Not really, also that's a really random question." I reply as she sighs. "Kai, out of the trillions of beings that exist, you've already met most of the strongest ones. Only a few remain, why do you think that is?" She asks as I think for a moment. "Is it because of Eclipse?" I reply as she shakes her head. "Not quite, but she's definetly part of it." Ragnarok says as I close my eyes. "Kai, I've been thinking about this for longer than your planet has existed. I feel as though this is all a large game being played, and we are nothing but pawns. Why else would everything work out so perfectly? Why would someone or something always be there to save you?" She asks as I open my eyes. "So you're saying someone is using us all?" I mumble as she shakes her head again. "Not exactly, it's more as though we're being tested, yet some pieces aren't allowed to die, or maybe the pieces required aren't here yet." She says as I stare at her. "And I'm one of those pieces?" I ask as she nods. "By what I can tell, this game is revolving around you and your friends. Why else would multiple Chief Dieties and manifestations be coming here?" She asks as I feel a shiver go down my spine, as though I'm being watched. "I'm sure you've felt it, a being coming and leaving from this plane of existence with ease. I cannot see them, but I feel them." She says as a thought pops into my head. "I thought Chief Dieties were supposed to be the strongest beings, how did you easily beat Azoria and Telas?" I ask as she smirks. "Azoria isn't the Chief Diety of this plane, so he can only use about ten percent of his total strength. He could only use more if your Chief Diety allowed it, and Telas doesn't have the energy to be a Chief Diety." Ragnarok says as she touches my face. "I feel more of that power in you, further pushing you as the spotlight pawn. While you draw the attention of everyone, something is also happening in the darkness." Ragnarok slowly closes her eyes. "I feel it, maybe not right now, but there's a looming energy. A heavy presence I haven't been able to shake. Another Chief Diety, or another manifestation." She says as I see her sigh. "I love fighting but I hate when I'm being used. It's even worse when I have no choice and can't fight against it." She mumbles as I see her hold up her hand. "I'm just telling you so you'll be prepared for anything." Ragnarok says as she smiles. I grab her wrist and stare at her. "Do you know the names of all the Chief Dieties and Manifestations?" I ask as she nods. "Can you tell me?" She shakes her head. "Saying their names alone would draw them here faster." She says as I stare at her. "Earlier you said Tyrranax, the manifestation of Rage." I mumble as she sighs. "His energy is already here, meaning he most likely is as well." She replies as I let go. She smiles and opens a portal. As we walk through I see a vast desert. Multiple planets float above us. "Desert of Death; why are we here?" I ask as I see Ragnarok instantly revert to her normal form. Her purple wings open fully as she stretches. "It feels so nice to be back to one-thousandth percent power." She mumbles as I look at her. "You're only at one-thousandth percent?" I ask as she laughs. "I have 2 releases." She says while laughing. Suddenly I see her block a scythe with her pinky finger. "Ooh, you came quickly." Ragnarok says as I see Rukia shaking slightly.
