Doomsday. (Part 3)

(With many spectators witnessing the beating of Bai Zhen, they'd cheer for Kygin as he continues to swing and fight Zhen around the city of Shanghai without cause too much of collateral damage as Bai attempts to run for his life, regenerating from multiple wounds but could only focus on one at a time.)

"Bai: D-DAMN IT..!! HE'S TOO FAST...!!"

(With a surprise attack of darkness, Bai was spiked into midair by a massive spike as Bai was then impaled by multiple spikes from the darkness and shadows surrounding the city as Bai knew immediately, he was unmatched with the worst possible fight. As he wishes to escape, Bai then activates his Jet Blessing to full charge, Bai then blasts out of the attack, leaving behind a powerful booming of sound and wind as Kygin caught up immediately by the darkness within a skyscraper nearby and once again strikes as Bai at last avoids an attack from Kygin, intriguing him further to generate a certain kind of darkness as Bai was at last completely regenerated as he was closing in on leaving Shanghai. Immediately, a two dark wormholes open and emerging from the two were fists of darkness, the combined punch dropping Bai down into a secluded area of darkness as Bai was powerless against Kygin.)

"Kygin: Are we done with this wild goose chase? Will you sit there like a dog and die already?"
"Bai: ...I've never done.. anything wrong... Why the hell.. are you so willing.. t-to kill me...?"
"Kygin: I'm not letting a Ghoul survive as long as you're in Shanghai. I will kill you before I let you even dare infect another person in MY TOWN!"
"???: Your town...?"

(With the clack of a blue heel and surrounded by a coat of water was an adult female who lifts one finger to trap Bai Zhen in a bubble and begin healing him in an instance as Kygin was suddenly pissed off.)

"Kygin: THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"

(As Kygin punches into darkness, spawning wormholes of darkness begins to reveal copies of Kygin's fist to pummel the woman into the dirt in an endless barrage. As the bubble then pops, the female's eyes then glows blue as crystal as the darkness was fading away after a multi-bullet attack by the woman to strike Kygin's limbs, forcing his armor to crack and nearly break.)

"Kygin: I'm not.. letting this cocky rich woman.. WIN AGAINST ME AGAIN!"

(In a fit of rage, darkness befalls the area as Kygin awakens a transformation trump card immediately, allowing him to manipulate the darkness in all forms while extending his attacks to a disastrous degree in power. With the female of water and Kygin battling in the open road, civilians were then evacuating as Kygin was manipulating all of darkness as tools for attack as the woman elegantly dances to avoids and shields herself from most of the attacks as Bai watching in awe was mesmerized at the fight between two skilled fighters.)

"Kygin: You're not escaping this...!!!"

(Kygin then powerfully backflips to anchor himself to the ground, punches into the ground and flung into the air is every bit of darkness and shadow launched into the air, compressed by Kygin and transfigured into a shining dark star on the verge of collapsing, the Mercenary Associations across the neighboring cities of China were then issuing evacuation warnings as Kygin was intentionally going to wipe Shanghai off of the map. As the woman looked directly into the air, she removed her coat of water as it was nothing but a puddle now and sighs for she then begins another elegant dance with classical music playing for herself while Bai was immediately terrified for the woman but could not move for his shadow was taken as well.)

"Kygin: Queen Of The Seas my ass... YOU DIE RIGHT HERE AND NOW!"

(With the concluding of her short dance, Kygin launches his strongest attack as a gigantic model of the Excalibur sword made of water was falling in the very spot Kygin stands. As if time was then slowed down, Bai was then returned his shadow by the very same angel he's seen the very first time, allowing him to speak, move and even talk in frozen time.)

"Bai: W-Wait..! You!"
"???: Hm? Greetings Bai Zhen, it's been a while actually."
"Bai: What is going on here?!"
"???: Kygin has a strong dislike against Ghouls and this woman protecting you is actually one of the top Mercenaries China."
"Bai: Huh..?! Then- We have to save her!!"
"???: I don't think that's quite possible, Zhen."
"Bai: But... She's right there..! We can counter the attack..!!"
"???: Before you do, please think carefully on this question I'm about to ask you. If a grenade has lost its pin and you reach over to touch it, do you throw it or lessen the damage it could do?"
"Bai: ...Lessen the damage!"
"???: Incorrect. At the power level you have now, you wouldn't be able to even put a dent on these two. Therefore, you have no right to interfere with a fight... Between the strong."
"Bai: ...But... she'll die...!"

(As the Angel chuckles and leaves, time was resumed as Bai immediately rushes into Kygin's attack, Collapsing Nebula and while surprising the woman, Bai's right let was revealed to hold back Kygin's attack as he was then hungry enough to kill them both in one attack.)

"Kygin: YOU FOOL, I'LL SEND THE BOTH OF YOU TO HELL!-"

(Kygin was immediately impacted by the falling sword of the sky, crashing into the ground as Bai was currently attempting to push back the Collapsing Nebula attack. With Bai's power exerting more than it's normal limits, Bai was slowly being sucked into the nebula as the woman behind him assisted Bai with a power increase but their efforts was only futile. Before the entirety of Shanghai could be wiped off the map, reality was immediately reset to where Bai was in the alleyway and both of Kygin and the rich Mercenary's attacks vanished out of the atmosphere, including the massive sword of the woman as all shadows were immediately returned as if reality was somehow warped or manipulated. As Kygin immediately noticed who was responsible for the attack, he stares into the air to notice Hu Ruogang of the Global Ascendancy Front.)

"Kygin: ...! Miss Ruogang."
"Hu: I see you're back to your old tricks again, Kygin. And you must be Li Ye, Queen of The Seas."
"Bai: ...!!!"
(Bai then suddenly remembers what Kokei told him exactly a month ago.)

-A Month Ago-

"Kokei: In the west of Shanghai, there is a female Mercenary by the name Li Ye, who is also known as "Queen of The Seas."

-Now-

(Bai immediately hides in the alley as he listened in onto their conversation.)

"Li Ye (Queen Of The Seas | Elite-Class Mercenary | Power: Water Spirit): Yes, you are quite right. I take it that you know this gentlemen?"
"Kygin: Miss Ruogang, Bai Zhen was rocketing through Shanghai, I was in the middle of disposing that bastard until Li Ye here had the nerve to interrupt me and my job."
"???: Actually, it's not your job."

(As the sound of wood smashes against the concrete street, Bai was in shock that Negan has followed Bai to his exact location with Kokei and Silke accompanying him.)

"Negan: He's coming back with me, the kid's in my custody."
"Hu: Negan Zhihao, this is a first.. Sorry to break it to you but this is a task for the Global Ascendancy Front. You have no jurisdiction within the city of Shanghai or any of our neighboring cities and states."

(With a deck of cards scattering in the wind, the entire group was surprised to see the Number #1 Mercenary of China, Chen Liang also known as the Magician Mercenary.)

"Chen Liang (Elite-Class Mercenary | Power: Magic Blessing, Magician Spirit | #1 Mercenary): Unfortunately, Bai Zhen is currently under orders to return to the Mercenary Association. We will be handling him from here on out, once again."
"Kygin: If the Mercenary Association failed to do their jobs, what makes any of you think you're qualified to handle Zhen?!"
"Negan: Its better than leaving him in the hands of the Global Ascendancy Front. You bastards are Spirit killers anyway so what makes any of us think the G.A.F has any right to protect Bai?!"
"Li: But leaving the poor child with you, Zhihao is quite a bad decision on the same boat. From what the reports state, the Japanese Mercenary Association was aware of Bai Zhen's presence but has failed to make any further improvements on increasing his strength?"
"Kokei: That is untrue..!"

(Throughout the many arguments, Bai then realized that despite him being a human being with no heart, he is only seen as a tool for Ghoul elimination. Bai was then immediately covered by the mouth by a padded hand and pulls him away from the alley through the sewers. Meanwhile in the lair of the Ghouls, the 15 Ghouls were all called to the main chapel as they all kneeled in the presence of the maskless Triple Ghoul, walking towards his throne as he then sits down to make his announcement.)

"Triple Ghoul: ...Listen carefully. According to our resources, Bai Zhen has officially made it back in China. But to our advantage, he was caught into a melee with the Ghoul Carver himself."

(Many ghouls listening were surprised to hear the name already after a year of silence.)

"Triple Ghoul: With the numbers in retaliative forces growing for the Mercenary Association, this is where their little plan stops... We will carry out the plan tonight, attacking both Japan and China simultaneously. I am sending five to Japan, and the rest... to deal with the Chinese Mercenary Associations. Figure it out amongst yourselves who's going where."

(As all 15 were then dismissed, the Triple Ghoul notices returning footsteps, only to notice Rac has made a full recovery and is ready for combat once again.)

"Rac: ...T-Triple Ghoul, master... I've recovered quite enough, what is my next mission...?"
"Triple Ghoul: ...I'm sending you to Japan. Knowing that Saul's invention, Gonu is only a head at the moment, we plan to retrieve it. You may take an army of lesser Ghouls to accompany you."
"Rac: Thank you master, I won't fail with the retrieval...!"

(As Rac then leaves, the Triple Ghoul finally was at peace as he then places his hand on his beating heart which is actually Bai Zhen's.)
