Chapter 167:

To Restore Balance!

Project: INFERNO


(In the city of Hakodate, civilians are enjoying life as usual while heroes flies everywhere around the city to maintain order. Meanwhile at the Saikan Academy, Chimon along with his former student and Sawano's best friend Akira were scanning the entirety of Japan for any further crime in which they all were handled by Class D to A heroes.)
"Chimon: Calling all nearby Class S and above, this is a check-in for the surrounding areas. How well are they all handling?"
"Ethereal (Class S): This is Ethereal, the West of Japan seems perfectly peaceful at the moment, I will keep doing a search."
"Braylon Reynolds (Hero Name: Champion | Class S): This is Champion here, the South is currently monster/crime free. Will report if something suspicious appears."
"Trample Horn (Class SSS): This is Trample Horn, North is criminal free! Will scout for any trouble!"
(As the rest of Class S and above answers with positive responses on their positions, Chimon was pleased at the lowered crime rate in Japan for it was one of the safest countries, populated by verified and powerful heroes.)
"Akira: I'm impressed... This is how far we've came in over thirty years?"
"Chimon: That's right."
"Akira: Whoa..."
(A beeping was heard as suspicious activity was confirmed in the southeast of Hakodate as several analysists decoded the threat alert and manages to get a fullscreen view of the activity.)
"Analysist #1: Monstrous energy levels rising in the forest area, potential S Class threat!"
"Analysist #2: Should we put out an evacuation notice for residential areas?"
"Chimon: No need. There are three heroes who're actually taking the southeast forest, these three can handle this without causing collateral damage-"
"???: Let me handle this one, Chimon."
(As Chimon suddenly recognized the voice, he then did not hesitate to stop him.)

"Chimon: As you wish, report back when the job is done."
(At the scene, a human corrupted by a curse was approached by a exotic kimono wearing individual who was staring down the curse alone instead of the individual.)
"Khomat (Primordial God | Class X): Its perfectly clear you haven't learned your damn lesson, so I'll just exorcise and punish you when we return to the Beast Realm."
(As the curse was then slurring and yelling in a different language, it would launch itself at Khomat who's body was there but could not be touch for Khomat's body is inside and outside of the timeline at the same time. The corrupted human then suffers a painful knee to the stomach which forces the curse to exit the now unconscious human as the threat was quickly neutralized by Khomat which the analyst team were impressed with the quick work.)
"I'll take the curse from here, be sure to have the human transferred to the nearest hospital."
"Chimon: Will do Khomat, thank you."
(Meanwhile in Senvoinerth, Sawano was busy signing peace treaties with other colonies, planets and races throughout their universe.)
"Sawano: And that takes care of that. From this day forward, Senvoinians and Shikvinians shall live in harmony as allies, not enemies."
(The room has clapped for the two as the empress among Shikvinians was blushing at Sawano's words of peace.)
"Aesons Phamol (Shikvinian Empress): I am eternally grateful for your kindness Mr. Magachi, I assumed Senvoinians would declare war against my kind."
"Sawano: Now that was an old time. This is an era where Senvoinians must understand peace and rely on others instead of ourselves every time."
"Aesons: Well as the empress of Konkeavis, my people and I will support Senvoinerth and your Senvoinians anyway we can, Lord Magachi."
(As Sawano and Aesons then shared a laugh, Aimiya and Fuchibuto were pleased of Sawano's current progress as King of Senvoinerth. Meanwhile in the Void Realm. Onara and Shibuto was on another walk as they've visited every inch of the Void Realm together.)

"Onara: Shibuto, tell me. How's your magic coming along?"
"Shibuto: Well... It's still not up to par with you, but very strong!"
"Onara: Prove it and create a new universe."
"Shibuto: W-Wait, right now?"
"Onara: Well duh, right now. When else?"
"Shibuto: W-Well.. alright."
(Shibuto then walks to the empty field and focuses a major amount of space magic along with the void element as Onara stood on the pathway and watched Shibuto generate powerful amounts of power to create a new universe.)
"Onara: Hmm.."
(As stars began twinkling inside the gassy-like cloud, Onara began to give her attention to the universe forming in Shibuto's hands as it began to lose its visibility while Shibuto pushes his grimoire's power to its ceiling.)
"That's enough!"
(Shibuto then halted as he then collected his breath as Onara then walked towards Shibuto and takes a knee in front of him.)
"Shibuto: I tried... Hard that time..!"
"Onara: Shibuto, you did try hard. But not hard enough, so we're gonna keep practicing until you can create a universe."
"Shibuto: Well... I have one of the best teachers I could ask for when it comes to space creation."
"Onara: Huh?! S-Shibuto.. Cut the cheesy shit..."
"Shibuto: I'm being honest, you think I'm lying?"
"Onara: Well, no. But we agreed not in public. We may be together Shibuto, but we both have standards we need to follow."
"Shibuto: I know, I just can't resist a cute blushing face like yours."
"Onara: SHUT UPPP!!!!"
(Onara was hiding her face for she couldn't handle the compliments as Shibuto laughed at her out of her embarrassment. Inside the Time Realm, Chronos was then sitting atop his old throne as he was apologizing to Gaito for everything.)

"Chronos: Gaito. I am really sorry for everything, I've lied to you and I've hurt you. I've never intended to harm you or your family in anyway, I've wanted to protect you when that chance was possible. Are you positive on giving me this new position?"
"Gaito: Of course. I can't be Creator of All Things forever, so as of this moment, you're welcome to have your throne back but I'm giving you the powers of the COAT. Goxius will take over as the God of Time."
"Chronos: I am on board with your decision, my grandson."
"Gaito: Do understand that I've recently forbid the acts of resurrection. Meaning whoever dies, is dead forever."
"Chronos: Understood."
(As Gaito then transfers some extra and overpowered abilities to Chronos, Gaito keeps some of the abilities as Chronos was now an extraterrestrial Creator of All Things.)
"Gaito: Thanks for protecting me back then, Chronos. I never had the chance to tell you.. because I misunderstood the incident."
"Chronos: All water under the bridge, my boy."
(As Gaito then warps to Saikan Academy and meets Goxius, Goxius then was surprised at Gaito's appearance as he was not expecting him to move around a lot.)
"Goxius: Lord Gaito, is there an issue?"
"Gaito: Not at the moment. I wanted to give you something."
"Goxius: Hm? May I ask what is this gift?"
(Gaito then snaps his fingers as Goxius was then wearing the exact mythology clothing as Chronos for Goxius is now the God of Time.)
"Lord Gaito, you didn't...!"
"Gaito: I did. Thanks to Njore, we came to an agreement to have Chronos rewritten back into reality. I had a chance to bring back anyone I wanted so he was one of the first ones in mind."
"Goxius: One of the first?"
"Gaito: You can come in now."
(Through the doors with its seeable dragon tail colored in lightning blue, muscled-top humanoid body and greyish hair with an ancient appearance, Goxius was then unable to believe what he's witnessing as Dynnael, the True Dragon King has been resurrected as well.)

"Goxius: D-Dynnael..! Lord.. Dynnael!!"
"Dynnael: It's been far too long Goxius the Time Necromancer. I congratulate you truly on your new ranking among the deities."
"Gaito: I haven't taken Dynnael home to the Dragon Realm yet, I wanted him to come with me for a while."
"Dynnael: Reminds me of the younger days with your young self.. Ah, such memories..."
"Gaito: Okay... Okay... You can tell a story another time. Right now, we need to pay another visit to another friend of mines. (Thinking): I can guarantee he's sensed him by now though..."
(As Goxius then bid farewell to the two, Dynnael and Gaito then enters the Beast Realm which gives Dynnael a bit of an uneasy feeling as he then sees Khomat sitting at the top of his deceased beast mountain as he then stares down the two and begins laughing at the presence of Dynnael.)
"Khomat: Hehe... He-HAHA... Gaito.. This isn't a joke, right...?!"
"Gaito: How exactly would this be a joke? (Thinking): Called it."
"Khomat: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! I KNEW ITTT!! THE KING OF LIGHTNING HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE WORLD!"
(Khomat then forcefully rips off his kimono in excitement to fight him again as Dynnael was suddenly on guard while Khomat was smiling menacingly with the intent to kill.)
"Dynnael: You clearly wish to fight me again already...?"
"Khomat: My curse was lethal enough to kill you, I'LL FINISH YOU WITHOUT IT!"
(Khomat then flips off the mountain of bodies and charges towards Dynnael who's guard was up completely and prepares for another fight with Khomat. After a realm-shaking explosion from Khomat's incoming attack, Gaito stepped in the way as his entire chest was smoking as Gaito felt the pain from the powerful punch but was not affected.)

"Gaito: We're not having this happen Khomat. You may be in your prime again but this is Dynnael who's eons older than you now, besides you two would annihilate the timeline if you two fought again."
"Dynnael: I appreciate you protecting me Gaito."
"Khomat: Hmph.. Very well. The old fossil may be protected by you now, but heed my words... The day I fight this bastard once again, I PROMISE YOU, IT'LL BE A MASSACARE..!"
"Gaito: And I won't let that happen, don't forget who owns you bitch."
"Khomat: And don't forget who's your father, Sorrow Beast."
(Gaito and Khomat then exchanged serious glares at each other as Khomat smirked and jumped back to his throne and took a seat.)
"Anyway if this is the reason you're here, might wanna get the fuck out now."
(Khomat then snaps open a portal for them to return to Earth as Gaito then warps himself and Dynnael out of the Beast Realm without taking Khomat's portal.)
"Dynnael: We've managed to see everyone, where else is there to go?"
"Gaito: One more stop."
(Meanwhile in the Dragon Realm, Choryrth was finished training another disciple among the Dragon race's military as they both bowed out of respect to each other. Moments later, Choryrth notices the warped Gaito who has arrived.)
"Choryrth: Gaito! My old friend, how's the life of no fights?"
"Gaito: It didn't really start yet, I can't start it until I actually finish business here."
"Choryrth: Business?"
"Gaito: Yup. I came here to introduce you to someone."
(As Choryrth was curious on who it was, Gaito then warps Dynnael to his side as Choryrth then dropped his sword out of pure shock with tears flowing down his face to see his father as Dynnael was in shock to see his own son grown up.)

"Dynnael: Choryrth.. my boy."
"Choryrth: ...D-Dad...?"
"Dynnael: I'm sorry I died on you..."
"Choryrth: NO..! ITS OKAY...!! IT WAS KHOMAT'S FAULT, KHOMAT..-"
(As Choryrth lost his words and mumbled nonsense, Gaito then smoked a cigar as he let the two have their reunion.)
"Dynnael: Gaito... I must know.. What made you go to such lengths to do all of this...? You've fought for everyone, for eons.. and all we did...-"
"Gaito: I'm the Pinnacle of Balance. I may be the God of Sorrow and the Sorrow Beast. But balance, must be perfected in order to obtain true peace. That's why I brought you and Chronos back, to restore the order of things and have everything back the way it was... Before any of this even happened back then."
"Dynnael: So what do you plan to do now then...?"
"Gaito: For now, I'm not going to fight for five years. Because... Ikehara is alive."
(Choryrth then jumps with tears still flowing from his eyes as he was hugging Dynnael while Dynnael was surprised as well.)
"Dynnael: The Magachi's grandfather..? King of The Void..?"
"Gaito: That's him. He's not back with us because of the wars happening in the Titan Realm. For now, I'm going to finish my to-do list and seal my powers."
"Dynnael: If you do that-"
"Gaito: Dynnael... I promise, I'll be okay. I'm the strongest thing in existence, there's not a damn soul out there who poses as a threat to me."
(As Dynnael laughed at Gaito's language, it reminded him more of the old days as Gaito then waved goodbye and warps to Kazuya and Amisate's island. Moments later, he speaks with Amisate about releasing Sukinahime from her soul.)

"Amisate: HUH!? YOU CAN DO THAT??!"
"Gaito: Yup. Since I have my powers for now, I may as well use it to clear my to-do list."
"Kazuya: F-Father... you're sure of this...?"
"Gaito: I'm sure Kazuya. Its time to put balance back the way it was."
"Kazuya: Darling, are you okay with this...?"
"Amisate: I want this to happen! Kazuya, I've longed dreamed of you meeting my mother. Gaito, how exactly can this work?"
"Gaito: It'll be a quick procedure. I'll have to enter your soul and separate Sukinahime from you which will allow me to pull her back into the real world."
(As Amisate then lies down on the ground in a incantation circle Gaito has put down, Amisate then was nervous but was prepared for the procedure.)
"Amisate: I have faith in your ability Mr. Magachi, please bring my mother back..."

(As Gaito then warps himself into Amisate's soul with focused concentration, he'd quickly find Amisate's soul, separates the two with a strong yet careful punch then grabs Sukinahime's soul to the open light while Kazuya was already beginning to see sparks of lightning on Amisate's chest which then explodes a massive ray of purple lightning into the skies which then triggers all who feels the presence to understand that Sukinahime Fulgora, the Embodiment of Divine Lightning has been brought back by Gaito. As Kazuya was stunned to see the long purple-haired, goddess of lightning with velvet colored eyes, she then walked towards Kazuya and hugs Kazuya while suffocating him in her chest as Amisate then awakens.)

"Sukinahime (Primordial God | Embodiment of Divine Lightning): The wait is now over dearest Kazuya, I thank you so dearly for taking such good care of my daughter..."
"Amisate: Mom...?"
(As Amisate was surprised to see her in person again, Amisate then hid her tears but hugged her with Kazuya.)
"Sukinahime: Gaito. I cannot thank you dearly enough for restoring my body, it has been far too long since I was able to hold my daughter close to me physically."
"Gaito: No problem. Its only a matter of time before-"
(Another flash of lightning storms down as Raijin arrives just before Gaito could finish his sentence and could not believe his own eyes to see Sukinahime once again.)
"Raijin (Japanese God of Lightning): ...Su.. Sukinahime...?"
"Sukinahime: It's me my love."
"Raijin: ...Gaito. I may hate you with every fiber of my being..."
"Gaito: The feeling's mutual."
"Raijin: But thank you. You've brought the family back together."
"Gaito: Mhm. Whatever. Kazuya and Amisate."
"Both: Hm?"
"Gaito: I'm taking the family out on vacation, Sukinahime... and Raijin... You two are more than welcome to join us."
"Raijin: ...Well, there isn't going to be any fighting for us X-Class for a while."
"Gaito: "Us X-Class?" Since when were you ranked to Class X?"
"Raijin: Choryrth updated the rankings recently."
(As Gaito then takes a look at the rankings, he'd then realize as he remained number one, the list was truly updated as he then smiled at Lotus ascending to Class X as Chair Six and Raijin at Chair eight as he was behind Xinera, the Goddess of Destruction.)
"Gaito: I knew he'd join us."
"Raijin: Hm?"
"Gaito: Lotus. But what surprises me is you're behind my wife, want to prove how you're chair eight or did you suck up to Choryrth because of your mythology legend?"
(Raijin was suddenly then hot-headed at Gaito's comeback.)

"Raijin: OH YOU WANNA FIGHT AGAIN?! I'LL MAKE SURE I SCAR YOUR ASS WITH MY LIGHTNING TO PROVE WHO'S THE BITCH!"
"Gaito: If you want to prove "who's the bitch", I'll start by beating you in fifteen seconds flat."
"Raijin: I'LL BEAT YOUR ASS, YOU FAKE LIGHTNING GOD!"
(Gaito then was pissed as he then joined the yelling.)
"Gaito: FAKE LIGHTNING GOD?! I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I'VE CAUSED MORE HELL ON EARTH WITH LIGHTNING THAN YOU HAVE!"
"Raijin: YOUR LIGHTNING'S NOTHING BUT A JOKE, YOU HOAGIE-EATING, FRIEND NEGLECTING BASTARD!"
"Gaito: FRIEND NEGLECTING?! YOU WANT FRIEND NEGELCTING?! HOW ABOUT I NEGELECT YOUR LIFESPAN RIGHT NOW??!!"
"Raijin: BRING IT ON, FATBOY!"
(As the two then growled at each other with intents to kill Kazuya and Amisate separated them before another fight would break out between them.)
"Sukinahime: Now now boys, let's not argue.. Raijin dear, Gaito has offered you as well a trip with him and the rest of the family. Will you behave if you decide to go?"
"Raijin: Hmph... FINE! But I don't want no showing off Gaito, got me?!"
"Gaito: No promises."
"Raijin: YOU BITCH!"
(As the others laughed, Kazuya and Amisate then held hands as they remembered their first date with Gaito and Raijin fighting in the restaurant which has Kazuya to ask the question.)
"Kazuya: Amisate, wanna go on another date sometime?"
"Amisate: Of course I do. If its you, I'd want that date to be forever."
