"Fate states that an apple would appear from my hand," commanded Jukkon, holding out his hand as an apple appeared before it, "Interesting. It takes my power of reality and uses Fate to enforce it in order to make things come to fruition."

He tried multiple attempts to test his power. Each commandment would take up some of his energy, but the effects would be permanent as long as he lived. Jukkon thought of another scenario.

"Fate commands that everything would cease to exist," said Jukkon.

Suddenly, Jukkon fell to the ground, collapsing from the pain. He clutched his chest as his veiny hands clawed at his body. His mind was overloading as countless whispers flooded his brain. Soon however, the pain and suffering had stopped. It was a pain that Jukkon had not encountered before, and would not wish to have again. It seemed that even Fate had limits. It could not stretch it something that had the state of "huge catastrophes." It could create Law Shifts, but was also limited by said Law Shifts.

"Fate commands that Will Ramuri, Persona, Ikarus Antoine, Sachiko Sakuramuri, and Valeria Kuro die right now," said Jukkon before falling to the ground again, feeling the same amount of pain, "What!? It's not.. a huge catastrophe, is it?"

It was at that moment that Jukkon realized that despite wielding the power of Fate, the group were protected by their respective artifacts: The Berserker Blade, the Golden Daedalus, the Emerald Shield, Platinum Rotation, and the Diamond Zone. It seemed that they were protected. However, this did not mean that they couldn't be killed. Jukkon just has to win the battle and defeat them without the use of Fate.

"But why should I dirty my hands and chase after them?" asked Jukkon, "I've got my own missions to accomplish. I'll need some time to formulate some plans and act on my accord. I can't be distracted during that time, don't you think?"

"Of course," replied the figure leaning by the column near Jukkon.

"Then you're aware of why I summoned you using my newfound powers of Fate?"

"I've got to stop them correct?"

"Very much so. I'd rather hope that you won't fail me like Mateo. As such, I've not only given you my regeneration, but with my newfound powers of Fate, I've given you an ability that would greatly put you into an advantage. An ability that you've sought out before."

"Thank you for your generosity," replied the figure, "Should I stop them now?"

"Relax a bit," smiled Jukkon, "What I've learned from my previous mistake was that I sent out Mateo on too many missions. I haven't given him much time to rest, nor to plan out his attacks strategically. Rest up, for I have sent out other soldiers to fight for you for now. Once you've found them at their most vulnerable, you can take them out."

"Yes, my Lord."

"Unlike Mateo, I won't be able to assist you during your times of need. I have other matters to attend to. I'm sure you can handle yourself correct?"

"Yes, my Lord."

"If the others I've sent haven't taken care of them, you are the last line of defense. I'm sure that you're containing your joy for having revenge on one of them. You've failed once, but this is your chance to return. To be forgiven once again."

"I won't fail you. I'll return back with their heads. Anything to be finally forgiven."

"Then you know your goals well. You're free to do whatever you please as you wait for the other soldiers to wrap up."

As the figure left, Jukkon stared back at his apple that was in his hand. He looked around it and found it to be a perfect apple that came from his imagination. He took a bite out of it and noticed that it was good to eat. With this kind of power, he could contribute so much to the benefit of many multiverses. However, this was not his goal. To recreate the multiverses and become the most powerful being of all of them was what he strived to accomplish, and to do so he needed to find methods of achieving such goals.

"Just as many things have opposites, creation has destruction," stated Jukkon as the apple in his hand slowly began to rot away, "Fate commands it after all. With Fate, nothing can go wrong. Obstacles in my path are easily cleared, and all I have to do is walk in a straightforward line to achieve my goals. This is the power of Fate. It removes my restrictions and casts direct power to me."

Jukkon got up from his chair and looked at the broken colosseum, "Had it not for my strategic thinking, I would've died then. I'm glad that my intellect has gotten me this far."
