The ti flowed differently in the Martial Arts World, and the Afterlife—the ti moved faster in the Martial Arts World.
And therefore.
It had already been a week since Kiernan disappeared from the Martial Arts World and had gone off to the Afterlife.
"Cough~ Cough~!"
Currently in the hospital.
Coughing sickly, Ellie struggled to keep her eyes open, and she looked really unwell, and the doctors were constantly taking care of her.
Standing outside the room, looking through the window, Aoi watched with tears in her eyes as her daughter suffered.
"...Where the hell is he?"
Bella bit her lips as she tried contacting Kiernan only to fail, as if he had completely disappeared.
"He is definitely sowhere trying to find a cure for this. He wouldn’t just disappear without a good reason. I am sure he’ll be back soon."
Karma said with a serious look on his face.
"Her daughter has been constantly asking for her father. And all we could tell her was that she can’t et him right now. She feels abandoned.
"It is incredibly irresponsible of Kiernan to just leave without saying a word!"
Bella said angrily.
She was definitely going to discipline her son for this, as he was just gone for ten whole years—the entire early life of Ellie—and he was again gone.
"Don’t be angry at him... He’ll be back..."
Aoi said with a weak voice.
Her grandfather, Arakawa Raizen, had also co after hearing about his granddaughter’s sudden sickness.
They had brought knowledge of many different religions here—to try to find a way to cure her—as well as many of the world’s best doctors.
Yet, even still, they hadn’t been capable of doing anything. They hadn’t even been able to reduce her fever.
The ti was ticking...
...
World Seas, near the border of the Dead World, thousands of the navy ships had taken their positions there.
Ever since tsudo ca here, they put all of the navy’s army might to guard the Dead World so that nobody else would be able to slip out unnoticed.
"...Hmm?"
"...Where the hell did this fog co from? It’s so thick... I can’t see fricking anything..."
"...The fog is also cold. Why is it so goddamn cold? It looks like it is coming from the Dead World as well!"
The navy soldiers talked among themselves.
It confused everybody on the ships—from ordinary navy soldier to cabin boy to cook to the captain—they didn’t like whenever sothing unnatural happened in these seas.
It always ant bad news.
At that mont.
"Huh? I see soone!"
"...What the hell? Is that person walking on the sea? What in the world is going on? That person is definitely walking on the surface of the water!"
They saw a person walk out of the fog. As if she were as light as a feather. She, for so reason, didn’t fall into the sea.
One of the newly appointed Navy Admirals used a spyglass and zood in towards the person—his breath abruptly stopped.
The person was gorgeous.
With silvery hair, a gown that perfectly accentuated her figure, and radiant skin that seed to glow in the sun.
"What a beautiful person... She must be so kind of anomaly created by the ocean. This can be dangerous. She might be a monster."
The Navy Admiral said with a levelheaded look.
He didn’t lose his reasoning like other young navy soldiers would but instead stayed calm and ca to a rational conclusion.
Sobody might’ve acted like she might be needing help as she was all alone, but it was obvious she wasn’t normal.
Normal people wouldn’t be able to walk on water!
The navy ships pointed their massive searchlight out towards the figure—highlighting her in all of her glory—and so of the young navy soldiers were smitten at the sight of her.
"Halt right there, young lady. State your na and what your business is here. Where did you co from?"
The Navy Admiral asked.
They had found out that Dead World’s citizens had red skin. She didn’t. However, they didn’t rule out the possibility that she was that place’s citizen.
There were people—just like tsudo—who carried different kinds of skin colors.
"..."
rcedes looked over to them.
And then she smiled.
It looked gorgeous to so. Confusing to others. And scary to the selected few that had a bad feeling about this.
She spread her arms wide—almost like she was a bird spreading her wings—and she then started dissolving.
Her body turned into bullets—round black bullets from Earth—and they then started flying through the air.
"PREPARE FOR IMPACT!"
The Navy Admiral shouted with a frightened look, and he used his Martial Ability—the Wall of Heroics—that was one big wall of the hardest rock found in the world.
The more heroic deeds he achieved, the stronger the wall would be, and he had done many heroic deeds.
Yet, in front of these bullets, there was nothing his wall was capable of doing, as they shredded right through.
"?!?!"
The Navy Admiral’s eyes stayed wide open as one of the bullets pierced through his forehead.
The rest of the bullets shred through the ships. Through the soldiers. And riddled everyone with bloody holes.
And in just a second, the mighty army of the navy got completely destroyed without them being capable of doing anything.
The bullets kept flying. But then they stopped. And they ford back into the gorgeous-looking woman.
"Giggle~"
rcedes giggled as she effortlessly landed back on the water and danced like a ballerina with the wind whipping her hair in every direction.
Beautiful. Deadly. Scary.
That’s who rcedes Rosburg was.
...
The Hell, Castle of the Death.
"...They have all died."
The Reaper said.
He didn’t show a reaction. It was just silent disbelief. As he couldn’t believe what had just transpired.
To give a clear report to Death, he went to witness the fight between Kiernan Hunter and the three Head Reapers.
The fight lasted one hour. It started with Head Reapers winning. It then turned even. And then Kiernan destroyed them.
Death stood silently facing the window.
"Hmm... Is that so..."
He said.
It sounded calr than the Reaper thought it would, and he looked over but couldn’t see Death’s face.
"That’s fine... I’ve actually hired new Reapers just recently. They also have history with Kiernan. I’ve summoned them here.
"They’re waiting outside. Inform them about their task. And then co to report back to once they’ve finished fighting."
Death said.
’New Reapers? But if the Head Reapers couldn’t do shit... What can they do? Isn’t it about ti for you, Death, to do sothing!’
The Reaper scread inwardly.
It was, of course, sothing that he didn’t dare to say aloud as he would die if he did, so he just nodded, and walked out.
Thump! Thump!
The heavy double doors closed. The throne room turned empty. He was now all alone here.
"Ahhh!"
Death grabbed his head with a frightened look, and he was sweating buckets with his face turning extrely pale.
’What the fuck do you an he killed all those Head Reapers?! They’re the closest thing to a fucking God! This is the end for ...
’He’ll fucking kill ... I need to run... I must... Those fucking morons will buy so ti. I am sure I can escape in ti.
’I’ll just escape to one of the twenty realms. Good luck finding , you moron, I am outta here!’
Death packed his bags, and without anyone noticing, jumped out of the window and started running in a completely different direction from where Kiernan was.
...
Afterlife, Cliffs of the Judgnt.
"..."
Kiernan was still sitting on top of the heads of one of the deceased Head Reapers, but then, he felt sothing.
’They still have soone to send after ? Hmph. Once I am done with these ones, I’ll head out to find Death by myself.
’And I will drag him out of wherever he is hiding!’
He stood up and looked towards the skies.
"...Hahahahaha!"
"...We’ve returneeeeeeeeeed~"
"...Ohohohoho~ Look who we have here~ Rember us?"
Kiernan’s eyes turned cold as he saw who had just arrived and just let out a chuckle.
"I guess your life in the afterlife is rather sweet. Working for Death. I was hoping that he would send you to suffer in the purgatory.
"Well, no matter. With you all here. I’ll send you there by myself."
Kiernan said coldly.
In the skies, the forr Black Knights of the rcedes Rosburg—who he all killed—were donning the robes of the Reapers.
"I was sad since I didn’t think that we could have rematch. How lucky of . I am also now much stronger than I was back in there. I’ve been blessed by Death."
tsudo said with a grin.
All 30 Black Knights were here.
"My beautiful Kiernan... I hope I can be again the prison guard of your cell... I am sure we will do a lot of fun things~"
Diwa giggled.
Gaoh, Miseria, Kouketsu, and Twisted all hovered around her.
Itachi, Anathema, Mythologia, and Gu-Ru accompanied tsudo. They were all True Gods back in the real world.
In here, they were even stronger.
And it wasn’t farfetched to say that all of the Black Knights combined were stronger than the three Head Reapers.
"I killed all of you before. I’ll do it again."
Kiernan crouched, touched a hand to the ground, and at that mont, people appeared all around them.
They all had the sa face. Sa gray hair. Sa gray eyes. And they were all equally strong—the peak True Gods.
And there were hundreds of them!
"Mastered Iron Style... Army of Hunters."
Kiernan whispered.
It was an army of Kiernan’s. The perfect evolved version of Ghost Spring. And they weren’t just afterimages anymore.
They were real.
"...Gulp~"
tsudo gulped, and he dryly chuckled.
’That bastard went easy on ... Is this the strength that he wanted to hide to use against rcedes... How terrifying... With this... Maybe he can actually...’
At that mont, the Army of Kiernan’s Hunters attacked the Black Knights, and it was a slaughter as their Iron Style techniques shredded through them.
"Argh... They are all real?!"
"...Ugh..."
"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!"
Kiernan just watched.
He didn’t move a finger.
The clones of his Hunter Army did everything by themselves. Ripping apart the Black Knights as if they were paper.
It would even make so people feel bad for the Black Knights. It was just bullying. Just like what they did to mbers of the Martial Order.
