VAGRANTS
Controller Space and Time
The hell forest was a forest filled with soul energy, just like an immortal island. They strengthen all the witches/Apotheosis that comes, making all the battles above it into a very powerful fight.
After walking for a long time, passing Angsana trees that lined up tenuous on the path, Silver and You Ming finally arrived at their destination.
A young man, sitting on a large rock with one knee bent. His back was leaning on the old tree, black liquid rushing down from his eyes and mouth.
"Trs. Tyrael, someone wants to see you." Say hello to You Ming, then shift, allowing Silver to walk over.
"Can I trust you, Silver?" Tyrael asked, coughing.
Silver looked down, then said. "No, not one bit."
You Ming flinched, he felt a little disappointed at his old friend. While Tyrael, he only laughed at Silver's innocence. "If you take Yin Chen with you, that man is more willing to do anything for the truth. To follow the way of God! He was a true Apotheosis, not a blind slave to the angels."
"Your time is not much. Remove the base." Firm Silver. "Do you know what Gilgamesh's truth is?"
"You want to know about it. After saying that I can't trust you, not even a speck?" Tyrael laughed again, but this time was stopped by his increasingly severe coughing blood. Black colored liquid kept coming out of his mouth. Tyrael dies without giving Silver an answer.
His physical body also slowly disappeared, leaving his spirit trapped in this world.
"I'm going to go see Yin Chen. Only he can trust me." You Ming left Silver alone in the forest of hell.
...----------------...
A man looks to be independent. With a body soaked in blood, he held a woman who was exhausted.
"Cranium..." Eunchae.
Ling smiled, then tidied up Eunchae's strands of hair that blocked the woman's pretty face. "Sleep, we're safe now." His lie.
They have come before the supernatural gate. But there, they came back to a problem. For between the two supernatural gates there is only one true gate and the other is the gate of death.
A debate ensued between Ling and Feng Lian. Ling, he was willing to become the victim for the safety of Eunchae and Feng Lian. But Feng Lian, she refused steadfastly because of her own personal feelings. He didn't want to owe anyone anything, especially being indebted to someone who was dead.
"I'm sorry, Feng Lian. But this is also for my own selfishness. Please, take care of Eunchae." Ling pleaded, after putting Eunchae on the ground gently. "My death will not be a debt to you, for I am doing this for the truth that I believe in, not for you."
Feng Lian was unmoved, lamenting the man's departure.
He then carried Eunchae like a bag, and went to a different door with his eyes closed.
"Eh?" A man's voice made him reopen his eyes.
"Ling?"
"Why? Why did you enter the same door?!" Ling asked, full of emotions.
"No, Ling. I went to a different door!" Reply Feng Lian.
"But why-"
"Stand behind me!" Decide Ling.
Both of his hands clasped the handle of the sword tightly. He was preparing to slash through that entire army, hoping to be able to win this fight without any fatal injuries.
Ling roared loudly, making even the death squad dumbfounded. They slowly stopped because they were hesitant. Doubt, doubt arises out of fear of failure. They were afraid of their prey, they were afraid of Ling the demon from the south.
"Rraaah!!" Ling advanced fearlessly.
Just as Ling was about to slash one of them, time came to a halt and was confined in one moment.
A man appeared out of nowhere, and he stood before Feng Lian and Eunchae.
"You..." Feng Lian and Eunchae who were not affected by the magic, were now speechless.
"Stay behind me. If you really want to go home to the world of manusa, stay behind me." Said Vaas, the Apotheosis of stage 4.
They also walked together, approaching Ling's body which was being confined within a magic area.
Vaas inserted his holy hand into the area, then pulled Ling's body out of it.
Ling continued his swing, then got a shock effect because everything looked completely different in one second.
"What's going on?" Ask Ling. Head's dizzy.
Vaas cleaned his hands from the blood on Ling's clothes, then replied, "Silver is waiting for you in the human world."
"Silver?"
Vaas flicked his finger, and they moved back into space in the blink of an eye.
"Ling, Eunchae." Call Silver, then walk up to the two of them.
After hearing the story from Ling and his friends, Silver and Vaas were astonished that the two gates that were supposed to have different purposes were now both leading to the place of death. In fact, Silver and Vaas knew that no one could manipulate the magical gate other than Vaas himself.
Not only that, Ling and Feng Lian had apparently gotten a similar message, with each of the Apotheosis they followed instructing them to take the chain of awakening as his Hocrux.
The message seemed deliberately made to provoke them both, even though the message was known to be sourced from the Angels which was then forwarded by Caius, the rank 2 Apotheosis. Because of that, then came the suspicion that Caius had manipulated the message.
Silver then proposes to immediately follow Caius, Red, and Ne Zha to the immortal island, as they are hunting You Ming there who is known to be trying to find the whereabouts of Sefirot, Apotheosis rank 7, with Yin Chen.
It had been almost a full year Ling had not met the damn monk, and now, they would be reunited among something more complicated than before.
"Alright, next destination: The eternal island."
Vaas opened a portal to the Eternal Island.
