ori and slyfer went in aswell as the ships doors closed.
The transport ship then flew toward the eternal journey, and the entire group was able to watch the soulles world fall apart, as the pieces of terrain were now being sucked into the black hole, along with the eternal journey.
The transport ship flew into one of the docking bays as The eternal journey flew towards and into the black hole, it went in, as did the remains of the soulless world.
And then, everything was quiet. And the scene faded to black.
...
On various news stations and channels all over the multiverse, includeing the ISPs main base, and the new royal guard, a video began to play. Kenward was on screen.
"Hello, my name is Kenward, leader of the uniguard.
This is a pre-recorded message, as we were instructed by The Gateway, in the event of our dissappearence, we made multiple videos in the event of various events, and this is no different. The gateway told us everything about the event that has transpired, if your hearing this atleast.
Over the past few months, a group of individuals, some of which you do know, and some you dont, took it upon themselves to help universe 13, and save it from the threats it faces.
These individuals went into the soulless world to learn the truth of the god of endings, Messorem, aswell as discovering an even greater threat.
After passing a series of trials which tested them both physically and mentaly, endureing a series of challenges that you wouldnt wish on your worst enemys, they were deemed ready by that very god, and they are tasked with entering the black hole that the soulless world orbits. To defeat a creature known as, The Leviathan.
And we are going with them, and helping them defeat this beast, which brings extinction to every world it touches.
These people are not saints, they are not perfect, and you likely hate a few of them, but right now, they need your help, your wishes your prayers, your hope. For if they fail, it will be the end of everything, and we all will face Extinction, at the hands of the leviathan.
I ask that you put your feelings aside, any personal grudges you may have, and focus on this simple truth" Kenward said
And then, on the screen, images were shown, aswell as the names of the group. Slyfer, Kita, Salazar, Hermes, Calypso, Sophia, Samantha, Micah, Owen, Kalfu, Ori, Nakia, and Kullos.
"We are defined not by our actions, but how we learn from them, some things cannot be forgiven, but sometimes forgiveness isnt neccesary. When the threats are so great. Everyone is capable of learning from their past, and evolving, growing and becoming better, and these individuals are no different.
Even after they defeat the leviathan, they are under our protection, and no harm will come to them, as we know some people cant control their emotions. They have already suffered enough for their sins.
We will be gone from the universes as we travel with them into the black hole where the Leviathan is.
But we will not be fully gone. A smaller shadow devision of the Uniguard shall remain, led by our oldest member, Belock and a team of individuals of his choosing, he will be their leader and they will be watching over the multiverse while we are gone.
Farewell for now. We hope to see you all again soon.
Kenward Out."
....
And roll the credits!

In Universe 2, on Earth.
It was night outside and the entire Heiwa village was quiet as everyone went to sleep.
All except for Pynneg, who was in the garden at the back of her house, sitting there and looking at the stars with a crown made out of flower in her hands, just waiting patiently while she looked like she din't have a good sleep for days now.
Earlier this day, Ganla invited her to go with her to Universe 1 to pick up candy from Kimura's shop but refused the offer, as she decided to wait for her big sister to come back home.
But as she was sitting there, a grim realization began to surface in her head, that maybe her sister is not coming back from her mission, maybe something happened to her.
As tears began to swell up in Pynneg's eyes from her thinking about this, she din't hear the sounds of footsteps behind her and a fingerless glove touching her shoulder, causing her to stand up and turn around immediately, looking panicked.
Izanami was standing there, smiling at her while her little sister as first din't realize who she was looking at as she took a few steps back, ready to teleport before she took a more better look at her appearance and then at her face, slowly realizing who this person was.
"...I-Izanami? Is that you?" Pynneg asked, looking shocked.
Izanami squatted down, still smiling as she placed her on her cheek.
"I'm sorry for making you wait so long, Penny. But I'm back now and I'm not leaving you ever again." Izanami said.
Pynneg was smiling, tears falling out of her eyes as she hugged her sister and she returned the gesture by hugging her back.
"...Hey, is that the flower crown you told me about before I left?" Izanami asked, looking at the crown in her tiny hands.
"...Yeah, I wanted to give this you before you left." Pynneg nodded.
They stopped embracing each other as Pynneg handed the crown to Izanami who puts it on her head, looking at it before looking at her sister.
"It looks great. Thanks." Izanami said, letting out a soft laugh.
Pynneg smiled back with teary eyes as Izanami looked at the stars in the sky.
"...Hey, let's take a look at the stars, like we used to when we were kids. What do you say?" Izanami asked.
"Okay, sure!" Pynneg accepted immediately without hesitating.
Izanami sat down while Pynneg sat in front of her while Izanami placed her hands on her shoulders as the two of them looked at the stars, they stood there all night till they fell asleep in each other's arms.
-------
In the next day, the dark clouds hanging over Heiwa were gone now that the ordeal was finished.
A trial was held for Warikomu, Kumo and 'Nakiri' and with Izanami's suggestion, it was decided that they will be punished by doing community service in Universe 8 on it's Earth.
The people of Heiwa were in the village, it was buzzing with excitement after hearing what happened in Universe 6.
Lalog was currently talking to Houdini and Iknaa, who were asking her to give them assistance with finding out Haji's whereabouts as Rectogh walked up to them, suggesting to them that maybe he can use his power to be useful to them.
Denying his request, saying that Lalog's help will be more necessary as they along with the Omnipotent of Knowledge walked off. The Omnipotent of Ventriloquism was standing there, frowning to himself before clenching his fists tightly, a sudden dark expression appearing on his face as he looked at the three Omnipotents before leaving aswell.
Mage was currently sitting on her tiger's back, looking at the sky while in the background Gafust was having a chat with Lekulia on the phone while Negak was sleeping against a tree.
Ashley then appeared, looking very bruised and had one eye closed, she looked to be in pain as she clutched her shoulder while she was limping towards the interdimensional gate.
Mage turned to look at her for one second, her eyes glowing as she saw a vision, looking at Ashley as she stepped through the gate, she had a concerned look on her face.
At the cemetery, Izanami, wearing her jacket without her armor, alongside Pynneg, were standing in front of a recent grave made for Koshi Buredo and next to him was a grave for Gin. Izanami placed a rose on his grave and then looked at Pynneg as she placed a bouquet of flowers picked up from their garden on his grave and then looked up at Izanami.
Izanami stared at his grave for a few seconds, with a sad expression.
"Goodbye, Koshi. I hope you are looking out for us." Izanami said, silently.
Pynneg held her hand, comforting her and the older sister smiled in response, before telling her that she has a new friend that Pynneg has to meet as the two walked out of the cemetery.
Also there were Zeno and Garmath, standing in front of the graves of his parents, Minato and Ariana. Zeno was placing his flowers on his parents' graves while Garmath had her hands placed on his shoulders, looking sad before looking at Zeno, giving him a sad smile as she looked the sky, feeling as though Zeno's parents were watching them, waving at them from the afterlife.
Somewhere, in the forest, next to a ancient temple with the statue of a giant monster fox with nine tails on the roof.
Milana and the scientist woman with long flowing orange hair split in nine long strands in shape of fox tails, goggles on her forehead, yellow eyes wearing a purple unbuttoned lab coat with a purple dress underneath the coat with yellow slip on shoes were standing there in front of a giant metal gateway and behind them was the giant orange fox with nine tails, sitting there patiently as the woman inserted a blue crystal inside the gateway.
The machine activated, opening a portal that leads to Universe 12, big enough for the creature to go in.
The woman grinned with delight at her machine before she turned to Milana and the giant fox, giving them a thumbs up.
Milana and the giant fox walked right through the portal, ending up in Universe 12 and the woman shuts off the machine.
Peering behind a tree, a girl with pale lavender skin with purple eyes and hair wrapped in a plaited ponytail wearing a rainbow coloured dress without shoes was watching as the woman took the crystal out of the portal, setting her eyes on that crystal with a fascinated expression on her face.
When she tried to get a closer look, she stepped on a stick which immediately caused the woman wearing the scientist coat turned around immediately, gritting her teeth before she tilted her head slightly, analyzing the girl's appearance.
The lavender girl simply waved and smiled as she approached the scientist.
------
In Universe 11, on a planet made out of gas, there was a gigantic metal city flying over the gassy planet.
And inside a fancy expensive restaurant somewhere in that city.
Hercule and Aphrodite were sitting at a table across each other, Hercule was wearing a red tuxedo with coiffed hair while Aphrodite's hair was pulled into a long ponytail and wearing a sleeveless and shoulderless star patterned dress with high heels made out of glass, they had just finished their dinner and waiting for dessert.
With butterflies in his stomach, Hercule decided to use this opportunity to finally do it as he slowly pulled a small box out of his pocket, taking a deep breath.
"Hey, Aphrodite, can I ask you a question?" Hercule asked.
"Huh? Sure, what is it?" Aphrodite asked.
Hercule stood up before he knelt in front of her, showing her the box and then opened it, revealing a shiny ring with a jewel on it, Aphrodite's eyes were literally sparkling as she stared at the ring in shock.
"Aphrodite Pandemos, will you marry me?" Hercule asked, looking very nervous.
Aphrodite stared at Hercule as her eyes sparkled cyan.
The ring inside the box was gone as Hercule noticed and then saw it on Aphrodite's finger, she was smiling as she looked at Hercule.
"Of course I do." Aphrodite said.
Hearing this, Hercule had a long smile on his face as he embraced his soon to be wife.
-----
Also in 11, on another planet.
Dietz was inside his bedroom, sitting behind his desk in front of his laptop, scrolling up and down as he was reading a news article about the new Royal Guard's success.
A 'Bing' sound was heard and he quickly opened his mail tab, checking his inbox, seeing a new message, saying:
'Hey, you're Dietz, right? You were with the new Royal Guard and defeated those F assassins, pirates and the death angel, right? You look kind of cute, you can message me back if you want, here is my contact info along with my picture.'
Scrolling down, he saw the person's number posted along with the picture.
He downloaded the picture and clicked on it as soon as it appeared on his desktop, showing the picture of a brown skinned Neonytian girl who appeared to be one year older than him but had long mint hair with two braided ponytails sticking out of two sides of her hair, wearing blue high-tech goggles for glasses, a red sleeveless tanktop and a violet skirt. Apparently, the girl's name was Metis.
Seeing this, Dietz grinned with enthusiasm at the chance of potentially having himself a girlfriend.
"SCORE!" Dietz shouted, standing up and raising his fists at the air in triumph.
------
In Universe 3.
Nakiri, with the hood of her hoodie covering her head, was walking on the sidewalk with her hands in her pocket, passing by a crowd of reporters who were asking Donzella Harbercorn who was standing in front of a bank.
Akihiko Kuro happened to walk by as Nakiri went past him, stopping for a second to glance at her before he continued his walk while Nakiri din't look back.
She arrived at the train station, walking in front of a interdimensional gate and handed a ticket to the ticket collector who saw the ticket and opened a gateway to Universe 9.
Nakiri stepped through the gate and din't glance at behind her.
------
In Universe 10.
The Omnipotent of Mischief, Haji(without his cape and nothing to keep him warm), was sitting in the middle of the road with his legs folded and his hands placed on the ground, not moving a head, his arms or legs, anything, he was standing there like a lifeless statue, staring forward as snow fell on his shoulders, if a person or a vehicle came right now, he probably wouldn't move out of the way.
----- In Universe 12.
In the middle of the sea, Ali was standing on top of a raft, holding his phone, reading a news article featuring the image of a ring of bandits from 6 being stopped from robbing the gold depository from 11 with the help of the Vigilante and Amij from 5 and 7, the image showed the Society of Goodness and the two heroes from the two other Universes, defeating the bandits while Cerci pinned down the leader of those bandits on the ground, he had dark brown long hair reaching his back, an X mark across his face, beard on his face, wearing a dirty brown shirt and brown pants in shreds with a red cape and sandals, his name was Shaitan, the new Prince of Thieves from 6, who was also reported to be a member of the mysterious group Pandemonium.
"Hm, it appears someone finally received what they truly deserve, correct, Mr.Backstabber?" Ali asked, with a smirk.
He lowered down his phone as he saw Durboro island in his sight, he checked the map again and then looked at the island again, now he was waiting for the raft to get closer.
As soon as it reached the island, Ali jumped off and began walking into the jungle with his hands in his pockets, trying his best to ignore the sight of carnivorous vultures lying on the ground with harpoons stuck in their backs and doing his best not to vomit before he found the person he was looking for.
Sidra Harpo was sitting against a palm tree, reading a book about Virtues and Sins with more books sitting on top of each other that he stole from Morishima's ship a long while ago.
Putting on his game face, the former bandit prince approached the former F admin.
"Excuse me, would you happen to be Sidra Harpo from Universe 12, the former leader of that Universe's F branch and Omnipotent of Thirst in training?" Ali asked.
"Who is asking?" Sidra asked, lowering his book to stare at the newcomer.
"Allow me to introduce myself. Ali Basara, former Prince of Thieves and the new Omnipotent of Artefacts and I came here to find you, good sir." Ali smiled, putting a hand to his hip and one on his chest.
"...For what?" Sidra asked, already looking bored.
"Well, you see, when I learned about you, I was thinking that the two of us happen to be quite similar. You were betrayed by the people you trusted and I was betrayed by my own group too, in a way, we are both in a similar position, we are two lost souls in a giant cruel world." Ali said.
"Get to the point." Sidra said, rolling his eyes.
"Oh, straight to business then? I like that. Well, let me skip the long backstory and tell you why I'm here: I will offer you a ride from this...bloody island and join me in my venture of making a mark on the world, surely it must be getting boring sitting here all day, reading a book with Vulture's are trying to eat your eyeballs while you are trying to read in peace." Ali said.
"...I still have time to serve, I can't leave just yet." Sidra refused, going back to his book.
"Really? I mean, after you saved Universe 5 from that nasty gorilla, don't you think it's fair that you have to go back to this awful place after you did a heroic deed? Why stay here and wait when you can explore the worlds with your own eyes with a new friend on your side?" Ali asked.
"You're not my friend and I don't care about what bullshit you're trying to sell me here. Get lost." Sidra said, not looking at Ali.
Ali looked disappointed as he let out a sigh.
"Alright then, it's regrettable but it's your choice then, if you want to follow the rules, that's fine. But if you change your mind." Ali said.
He placed a note on the ground, it had his phone number on it.
"You know where to find me." Ali smiled.
He turned around and walked back to the way he just came.
Sidra lowered down his book, staring at the note on the ground before he picked it up and then looked at Ali before he left.
------
In the ISP base.
Inside a meeting room with only three people in it.
Jaden was sitting at the end of a long table, his swivel chair was turned around, watching the footage of Kenward's broadcast and hearing everything he said, he had his knuckles placed on his chin, the screen being reflected on his glasses.
The other two people sitting on two opposite ends were also watching, both appeared to be from Universe 7 by looking at their different coloured eyes.
They were wearing ISP uniforms but one of them, a tall man with wavy black hair that was shoulder length, piercing blue eyes that were cold as ice, wearing a black tie with a black buttoned up shirt of a similar colour, his arms were folded and squinting at the screen, he din't seem to approve as he looked at the pictures of the Cromwells appearing on screen.
And the other one was a pink eyed woman with braided cream coloured hair with a butterfly hair clip on the left side of her hair and a short braided ponytail leaning against her chest, her skin was as pale as snow, wearing a pink shirt underneath her uniform, two thick black gloves, wearing a skirt with stockings covering her legs and wearing ordinary shoes, she coughed a bit into a napkin with a box full of napkins and a medicine bottle sitting next to her and her eyes looked tired before she glanced at the other man with worry in her eyes.
------
In Universe 6.
Inside his temple, Hikrat was on his chair, looking at two sultans from the North and the South standing in front of him.
The one from the North was huge and muscular, long dark hair with a long dark beard, wearing nothing but a white cloth around his waist that covered his legs while the other was the dark skinned old man with pruney skin wearing dark glasses, wearing the white robe and turban smoking a pipe as they were discussing about the village of the West if they should find a candidate or if the village should be left under the care of either two of the sultans as they were arguing with one another.
Iknaa was typing on her phone, sending messages to Lionel regarding the festival from 9, asking what she should wear for such an occasion.
Outside, Faramond was wandering around the village with his arms folded around his neck, looking bored as he had nothing else to do before he turned his attention to a poster on the wall.
It was a pink poster featuring a new upcoming Tournament that will feature Omnipotents and Guardians coming soon and Aeon's face was on the poster.
Faramond walked to the poster, looking at it and looked interested by the Tournament.
Kehn, who was hiding behind a house, following Faramond, looked at the poster aswell, tilting her head as a single strand of her hair stood up in the shape of a question mark.
In the village of the East, due to the good reception the Royal Guard have received, Kaam was forced to begrudgingly repeal the law against Neonytes to maintain her public image to her subjects.
Outside of the village, the sultan of the East, Lotus, was standing in front of four graves of the Lisimba family, staring at the grave for Cleopatra with sad look on his face before he placed a bird of paradise flower on her grave before he walked away.
Hatan and Sekhem were standing next to each other looking at the sultan leaving as the new Omnipotent of Sickness was holding a staff similar to the one Sekami once had.
He suddenly felt a hand grabbing his shoulder and when he looked up, it wasn't Hatan, it was Sekami's spirit smiling down on the young boy, wishing him good luck before disappearing.
Sekhem looked in awe a bit and looked at Hatan, holding her hand as the two began to walk towards a different direction to heal more sick people.
Nephthys and Minkah were standing in the desert.
Minkah was now wearing Nephthys's cloak and necklace with white and black beads holding a grey box containing her element while Nephthys was just wearing her robe, holding a jar containing Bennu's ashes.
Nephthys opened the jar and let the ashes fall out of the jar, landing on the ground into a pile of ash.
The two women stood there and waited for something to happen.
The ash began to shake before the mighty Phoenix rose out of it's ashes, flying into the air and cried triumphantly.
Nephthys and Minkah smiled as Bennu flew down towards them, flapping it's wings happily before it landed on Nephthys's shoulder.
The Guardian of Summoning began patting the Phoenix on it's head and then turned to Minkah, smiling at each other as they held each other's hands.
------
On planet Khepri.
The Neonytes were actually wandering around the desert now that they din't have to worry about being attack by undead scarabs while the alive scarabs were protecting them from dangerous overgrown scorpions.
At the Neonytian village, Nefertiti was discussing with Miguel and Matit about the alliance she plans to arrange with the leaders of Gryphon, Uraeus and Nile.
And away from the village, Majin was standing in front of his museum as the construction crew was repairing the entrance now that he got enough money without suing the Royal Guard and then walked away.
He made it back to his tent and walked inside, it was quite spacious actually as he had a bookshelf of rare books, one of them was about ancient planets built by Gods, there was a pile of old scrolls, statues of the six main Gods and the four maidens from Universe 0 were in there aswell, a table placed in the middle with a pot containing soup and a mirror placed on the wall.
Majin looked at everywhere around him for some reason as he walked to the mirror, looking at himself before looking at the red sun surrounded by diamonds sigil, sighing to himself.
"Hey."
Majin gasped as he turned around and his eyes widened.
A rather small anthromorphic mouse girl sitting on his table who appeared to be from 12 but had really red fur on her body, long black hair with a pink bow on top reaching the ground, yellow slit eyes, pointy ears with sharp front teeth sticking out of her mouth, wearing a dark yellow dress with horizontal lines, small shoes and a thin tail coming out from underneath her dress, sticking her finger into his soup and tasted it as she placed her thumb into her mouth.
"...Tastes like cat poop." The mouse spat the soup out before she turned to Majin who was sweating all over his body like he was in a sauna.
"Y-you." Majin spoke, stammering.
The mouse jumped off his table, approaching him before she stopped in front of him and stared up at his chin.
"The boss sent me to remind ya that you still have to pay up his debt. He ain't too happy that you blew it when you failed to grab that invincible lady's soul, ya better give him something good soon before ya reach your deadline, pal." The mouse said.
She suddenly pulled a knife out of her dress, pointing it at his neck.
"That Elixir of Life worked wonders for ya skin, ya wouldn't like it if you're gonna slowly lose that smooth skin of your's till you slowly turn into ash when your time is up would ya?" The mouse asked, with a threatening tone.
"N-no, no, of course not! Please, tell him that I will give him something soon, just give me more time!" Majin pleaded with the mouse, placing his hands together as he landed on his knees.
The mouse stared at him, looking bored actually as she removed her knife from his neck.
"Fiiine. But ya better mean it cause otherwise." The mouse said, before doing a 'you're as good as dead' gesture to her own neck before she vanished into a puff of red smoke.
Majin slowly stood up, still trembling as he sat behind his table and placed his hands on his face, letting out a exasperated sigh.
------
On Gryphon.
The Knights of Horus were currently taking of the remains from their battles against the pirates' ships and their drones.
The three priests, Lut, Hud and and Nuh, were planting seeds in the ground so the trees can grow again one day.
At the Kingdom of Majesty, the sick griffins from before started to recover thanks to Mekat and Sekhem's efforts, the knights were escorting them out of the medical tent while Melchior and Balthazar were watching.
Dawnbeak walked to them, holding a letter addressed to Balthazar who took it and read it. It was a invitation to the alliance of Guardians, sent by the Guardian of Unity and Iron Maiden, Raina Holymoon, the leader of the alliance.
Balthazar returned the letter to Dawnbeak as he began to think about the proposal, whether he should accept or not.
At the beach, inside his cabin, Solomon was painting again.
It was the image of three teens with colorful skins.
The one in the front was a 15 year old girl with dark olive skin, green eyes, black hair that had the bowlcut style with two twin plaits at the back of her hair, wearing round glasses, a oranged buttoned up shirt with long sleeves and a matching skirt, a small plaster on her knee with sneakers holding her hands looking nervous.
To the left was a girl two years older than her who had dark brown skin, orange hair pulled into a short ponytail, her right arm was bandaged completely, wearing a dark green park ranger outfit with a orange ranger hat, an ascot around her neck and badges on her uniform, short dark green pants, holding a flashlight to highlight their surroundings.
And to the right was a young man who was a year younger than the girl in the park ranger's outfit, he had orange skin, dark brown eyes, wearing a brown cap on his head, a short goatee on his chin, wearing a blue buttoned up shirt with the front of the shirt opened along with a black open vest around his body, his hands were covered in bandages, orange pants with shoes and tried not to look scared.
The three of them were in the middle of a swamp covered in fog with pairs of grinning red eyes watching them from the darkness.
------
On Uraeus.
Inside the Citadel, many dragons wearing armor gathered in the throne room as all of them looked up at Marduk, who was looking at the fixed glass stained window featuring him and Cyndass burning Tiamat before he took off his crown and stared at nothing, closing his eyes to have a moment of silence.
He turned to Gyo, Fafnir and Sapphira who were standing next to him and walked towards Fafnir, placing the crown on his head, declaring him as the new king of Uraeus, much to his surprise.
The dragons roared and cheered, shooting fire upwards as Fafnir looked at everyone with a shocked expression before turning to his sister who nodded at him and then turned to his father and his assistant, bowing to them in sign of respect.
-----
On Nile.
The Aquamarine's were at the beach, some of them jumped in the water and were swimming around now that they din't have to worry about Vritra or the undead ocean beasts anymore while a few were sitting on the beach and watching.
Satis, Anuket and Neith were sitting next to each other while Hatmehit had her head placed next to the boombox playing loud music with Heqet and a few other Aquamarine's sitting around the boombox, listening to the music aswell as they were drawn to it.
They asked where Hatmehit got the strange box and all she did was that she got it from a stranger who doesn't like alliances and beyond that, nothing else.
A champagne bottle containing a message was floating in the water till it reached the island, getting Neith's attention who picked it up and smashed it against the ground.
Anuket picked up the letter and tried to read, it was another invitation to the Guardian's alliance from Raina, asking her to join the alliance.
She lowered the letter and turned to Neith who shrugged in response while Satis looked at the letter in her daughter's hand.
-----
Somewhere, in the afterlife.
Cleopatra was walking in what looked like a giant complex of buildings from different time periods and dimensions, according to what she heard, this was the afterlife section for the Guardians and in this realm, this complex is made of all their Evolution realms shoved together in one place.
She walked past a medieval castle with Minato and Ariana standing in front of it, looking into a crystal ball that was showing them their son before she walked out of the city, reaching a beach, seeing a group of guardians sitting next to each other around a bonfire and to the right, she could see a small surrounded by water with a large cage placed on that island and there was a single person trapped on that island, it was Argus, sitting there with his hands placed on his knees with his hair covering his eyes, not looking at anything.
Cleopatra looked away from that, walking past the guardians before she could notice her and stopped in her tracks as soon as she saw someone familiar.
She saw Cyndass sitting at the edge of a black mountain that was fused with the realm, staring at a Volcano surrounded by lava.
Smiling, the Neonyte walked towards the giant dragon and placed a hand on him.
Feeling a familiar presence, Cyndass turned around and looked down, his eyes were filled with joy when he saw Cleopatra standing there.
Cleopatra looked happy to see him as he lowered his head down and wrapped her arms around his head, giving him a hug and placed his giant fingers around her aswell.
She let's go off Cyndass and looked up at him.
"...My brother is trapped in that fire place and I will need your help one last time to free him. What do you say?" Cleopatra asked.
Cyndass, without hesitating, nodded at Cleopatra's proposal, ready to be her guardian again even in death.
-----
In another part of the afterlife.
Koshi was walking in the middle of a forest similar to the one on Earth, trying to find someone who can give him a direction or what to do next.
He stopped in his tracks when he saw something as soon as he reached the end of the forest.
There was a small boy with red eyes, short blue hair, wearing a white robe with angel wings peering out of his back, sitting in front of a large lake with crystal water, staring at it's reflection. It was Aku.
Koshi, looking at Aku, began to approach him as the young boy looked up at Koshi, not knowing what to say to him as the two stared at each other.
Koshi smiled as he placed his hand on Aku's shoulder and sat down next to him. The young Chikara looked surprised for a moment but looked relieved.
Aku and Koshi then turned their heads to the lake, looking into it's reflection that showed them a image of planet Aaru, which was no longer grey.
-----
There was no sign of life on Planet Aaru but as a few days passed.
Reeds and flowers began to appear, the dead trees were slowly regaining their life, the water was clean and the sun was showering the planet in it's light after a long period of Death and Darkness. This planet is slowly recovering and will eventually be reborn after it's first death.
Whether this was a result of the slime or something else, who knows

Diana was in Universe 2, standing not too far from the universal gate she used to enter the universe while looking at the scenery around her and the stars in the sky above her, taking in the differences from any place she'd ever been before. She made her way down the street and sat down on a bench, briefly looking through the messages on her transceiver... her expression tensed when she saw one from her father.
"Greetings, Daughter.
It appears we misjudged you, I formally apologize.
I understand if you don't want to come back, but now that you are welcome back anytime."
Her finger hovered over the respond button for a moment, before deciding to close the message entirely. "...I know. I'm not going to go home if you apologize" She said, not actually sending the message. She began making her way to some destination, eventually reaching the hill that Izanami and Pynneg had been watching the stars on. She stood at the edge of the hill for a moment, smiling at the sight of Izanami and her younger sister before sending a message to Izanami instead of going over there.
"See ya tomorrow! <3"
Satisfied, Diana began making her way somewhere else, where she could rest for the night.
-----
In Universe 11, on Bacchus's home planet. In his mother's house.
Bacchus sat on a chair in the combination living-room and kitchen, while his mother sat in her wheelchair not too far away from him. The two were eating a light snack it seemed.
"So, I take it you're going back to your own house after this?" His mother asked.
Bacchus nodded. "Yeah... Mom, can I be honest for a moment?"
"Of course you can! You're my warrior, after all." She smiled at him in a way that made him quite uncomfortable.
"...I'm satisfied, but not because I killed him." Bacchus said. "At the very end of it, I didn't even want to."
His mother looked at him oddly for a second, before sighing. "I can't be surprised, you always were a gentle one. Did you at least make friends? Maybe a girlfriend, or a boyfriend?"
"Friends, yes." Bacchus admitted. "Nothing romantic yet, although I think I'm going to start looking soon."
"Well! When you see the right woman-" she caught herself and immediately added "Or man! Be sure to introduce them to me, alright? Now that this mess is behind us, I'm going to be a actual mother to you and not whatever I was trying to be before!"
"...Mom?" Bacchus asked, looking surprised.
"Do you think you were the only one doing some soul searching?" His mother asked. "I had a right to be angry, and I still can't forgive Dionysus but... looking back on it, it was wrong of me to make you bear that burden without even considering how you felt about it."
"What... what made you reconsider?" Bacchus asked.
"Our last phone call." His mother nodded. "I was so happy, but you weren't... it didn't take me long to figure out why, so;... I'm sorry."
"...I'm sorry too." Bacchus said, tears in his eyes.

In Universe 6, on Earth...
A universal gate opened up, one that 3 neonytes moved through almost immediately. The first was Theseus, now wearing a significantly less bulky coat, a different dark blue one that was more appropriate for this regions climate. The second was Erinye, who's hair was now held back in a ponytail for some reason and the third could be recognized as Erinye's mother; Ariadne, if only because of her resemblance to Erinye. With skin slightly darker than Theseus' (but not by much), short brown hair, then a white button up beneath a black cardigan and ankle-length skirt with a maze pattern on it. She also had a rubik's cube dangling from her necklace.
Ariadne was clutching Theseus's metallic hand as hard as she could, he looked down at it and smiled.
"I must say, I can see why you like this place so much Erin." Ariadne said, taking her free hand and placing it on Erinye's shoulder.
"Mom." Erinye sighed, brushing her mother's hand off. Theseus just laughed in response.
"I still can't believe you two fought a angel of death without me." Ariande said, "Honestly, if something happened to both of you there-"
"We know." Erinye said. "You'd destroy it so it couldn't even reach the afterlife. I know."
"Are you sassing me?"
"Yes." Erinye answered. Theseus continued laughing while Ariadne tried to hold back a grin herself. The entire conversation seemed to be in good nature, but at least one onlooker seemed unsure whether it was a actual argument or not.
"Come on, you two." Theseus smiled. "We might as well find a place to stay for the night before paying a visit to our friends. Do you want to lead the way, Erinye?"
Erinye shrugged. "Sure."
And with that, the family walked off into town.

...
...
Miyama sat in a chair, the interior of the room looked plain and lacking in furnishings beyond the basics. Chairs for people to sit in, a table for food and drink to be placed on, a small and cheap TV to watch the news on. One currently broadcasting the news about the Leviathan.
A Kschlvokyan recognizable from Hercule's report, Solon, was seated in a chair across from her. He looked somewhere between sad and uncertain.
Someone knocked on the door. She looked over at him, "You can leave now. I have something else to discuss" She said, making her way to the door and opening it, revealing Loa on the other side.
Solon looked between them, his emerald eyes furrowing as he brushed past the two of them.
"He seems like he's going to do something." Loa commented, as she sidled into the room and closed the door behind her.
Miyama nodded, "Seems so. I was just talking to him about his daughter, the one responsible for all the visions everyone in this distract had last night."
"...Daughter?" Loa asked. "He's been calling it-"
"It's only a couple of months old. Can't even talk yet." Miyama said. "Morgana's a girl, why would she be any different now."
"...Well..." Loa looked uncomfortable.
"Anyway, was there anything you wanted to talk to me about?" Miyama asked as she turned around sat back down on her chair.
"What are we going to do about this?" Loa asked, gesturing at the broadcast on TV, right as it showed the faces of everyone who went into the black hole. "Slyfer, the Cromwells, and a ton of redheads are fighting a world destroying abomination as we speak."
Miyama's eyes flashed pink as she answered immediately. "We don't have to worry about that for a while. For now, we should be focused with keeping all the omnipotents under control, especially Tyrned and the others."
"...Can I ask...?" Loa asked, "Why are you calling them by their old omnipotent names? We already know that Bao's going to become the next omnipotent of gold."
"Just because it's a different body doesn't mean it's not the same person." Miyama said. "The omnipotent of-" She coughed, before starting again. "The Omnipotent of Jewellery is being-... is in communication with the previous one. So eventually Tyrned and the others will try to take control of their reincarnations."
"If you're so sure." Loa said, she didn't look too confident. "I don't care about fate or destiny or anything, I just want to keep my family and the elements of this planet safe.
I'm not going to stand by if you decide you're going to endanger them."
"Don't worry." Miyama said. "I have no intention of endangering anything you hold dear. I'm trying to protect even more things than you are. Really, there's no reason we can't work alongside each other and the rest of the universes for this."
Loa looked at her, folding her arms. "If you're so sure." She repeated. "And, about this Uriel guy and Proserpina? We got word that he took a universal gate from 6 to 0 just the other day. Cited it as him going to educate himself on our history."
"... Uriel's going to educate hi-" She coughed again, grabbing at her throat. Loa almost stepped over to her but Miyama raised a hand up to tell her not to get closer. Miyama stopped coughing immediately and fixed her posture. "...Interesting. He's a liar. He's going to educate someone, but not himself."
"Are we going to do something about it?" Loa asked.
"I see no reason why we should." Miyama said. "Right now, our concerns are the Omnipotents of Clairvoyance, Greed, Wealth and Gold. There's no reason to be concerned with his activities at this stage."
Loa looked at her suspiciously, before turning around and making her exit.
Miyama said nothing as the door closed behind her.

On Aaru...
Lynne's fortress, just like her element, was still there. Now having planted itself in the crater left behind by the final battle. The slime had sunk into the dirt a couple of days ago, it was pretty hard to tell whether that had any influence on anything that was going on or if it was simply living it slimy life in the dirt now.
Eris and Selene could be seen by a river, the latter was styling the former's hair into box braids this time around, Eris was practically exclaiming instructions at her while Selene struggled to get a hang of how to make it look good enough.
Notably, none of the other crew could be seen. It looked like Bellona and the others split off from Selene in the end.
A distance away, Lance was holding a makeshift watering can that looked like it had been crudely stuck together and held in place. Using it to water a group of flowers growing at the base of a tree. He had discarded the white long sleeved jacket with the symbol of his element on it and now was wearing a black jumper with a disturbingly realistic eyeball on its chest and a pair of shorts that looked like they'd been taken from one of the space pirates. Lance had completely forgone wearing shoes or tidying his hair up as it was now pretty messy. He did have a bunch of makeshift gardening tools poking out of the brown satchel he was wearing though.
Not too far away from him, Leah was at the very top of a tree, looking off into the distance while pretending to be a pirate. She had also changed clothing, now wearing Lynne's sleeveless grey overcoat over a light blue shirt, a red scarf and matching skirt, having styled her hair into a pair of plaits that fell down her shoulders. She stared off into the distance and excitedly made up calls of 'enemy ships coming in from the flank!' then chastising Lance for not taking her game seriously enough. He simply continued watering the flowers.
And quite a distance away, sitting on the staircase Theseus made that climbed its way up the mountain to the cathedral... sat Lynne. Having discarded the sleeveless grey coat but otherwise kept her apparel the same. She leaned forwards as she looked over everything, smiling as she placed her hands beneath her chin.
She could hear Leah playing around here.
