Isaac stood on top of a skyscraper, surrounded by sea of broken buildings and flames. The words spoken by Bella was ringing in his mind while he made sure that Snowstar was evacuated properly without anyone there.
However, at that moment, he felt two dead souls hugging each other and they both looked strangely familiar.
Isaac activated his God Eyes and looked at the dead souls. He recognized them as Rachel and Tom.
"Bella did that too?" he grimaced in pain and held his chest while feeling his beating heart. He wondered whether he could do two more resurrections before breaking down.
'Come on, this is only physical pain. You have suffered far more!' Isaac's eyes shone in a brilliant green glow as two dead souls slowly started returning from the afterlife. The two pools of blood started to become two human-looking figures.
The dog started barking loudly as its tail wagged around. The two blood-covered humans soon started to have flesh with hair sprouting from their scalps and features turning more real.
It didn't take long for Rachel and Tom to return to their human forms, with all memories of the past hours completely erased. It happened with Maxwell too, since it was impossible to come back to living without some side-effects.
Isaac's legs buckled as his heart started grapping itself. It was like an invisible hand was squeezing it!
"Ah..." Isaac could barely let out a breath as he fell to the ground, with cold sweat drenching his body and never-ending pain flooding through his body. This was the kind of pain that couldn't be removed by healing speed. It came from his ability and it was his punishment, which he had to deal with naturally.
'I need... a place to rest...' at that moment, he was only thinking about Bella's words and so thought about Stronglord. His God Eyes looked across the entire world until he found Lock Stronglord's current place.
He was at Springland, at his own estate which he managed to buy with his endless wealth.
Isaac struggled to stand, then activated the Explorer of Life and disappeared from Winterland.
...
At west of Springland, a beautiful villa with vast garden, flourishing yard and beautiful bush statues, stood in the middle of surrounding forest with gate and long wall surrounding the estate.
A lone well-kempt road led from the gate to the nearest city, which was in flames and in ruins after the demons attacked.
Thousands of Stronglord soldiers had gathered in the backyard, doing their usual training as they were preparing for the inevitable attack of demons.
They were the strongest army in the entire Summer Realm, the Stronglord Army, that conquered hundreds of countries and managed to build an empire called the Stronglord Empire.
Their members were top-notch and had overcome the boundaries of ordinary human limits. All of them were above level 500, while their leader, Lock Stronglord, was the strongest New-Gen human.
In the fourth floor's study, Lock Stronglord was busy trying to use his cellphone, which he received from the government for communication purposes. They realized the power Lock held and the power of his army, which could triumph over any mankind army.
"How does this strange box work?" he mumbled in annoyance because no one on the government's side taught him how to use this!
As he was ready to throw it away, a radiant green light appeared near the ceiling, soon revealing a pale-faced man, who fell to the ground head-first.
Lock jumped to his feet and grabbed a revolver from the drawer. After pushing the hammer down and spinning the cylinder around, he approached the fallen man and used his leg to flip him over. Then, a strangely handsome face appeared in his vision, but he felt like he'd seen him before.
"Who are you and where did you come from?" Lock aimed the revolver at Isaac with his finger stroking the trigger.
"I... Wraith!" Isaac coughed out his words and clutched his chest in agony.
"Wraith...?" Lock then remembered a delicate, beautiful face that had equally beautiful white hair. "Legacy carrier of White Death?"
He lowered the revolver, pushed the hammer up and holstered it. He then kneeled next to Isaac and saw the immense pain he was in. "What happened?"
"Need... rest..." Isaac grabbed Lock's arm while speaking through his gritted teeth. "Don't... tell... anyone... I am here..."
"You better answer my questions afterward." Lock sighed and carried Isaac to the couch. Then, he drew the curtains shut, closed the lights and took a seat behind his desk as he looked over to Isaac with frown.
He then checked the cellphone and closed it before throwing it inside drawer.
...
As the battle in Snowstar ended and Isaac met Lock once again, the war in White Paradise was raging.
"DON'T LET THEM ENTER!" the Gods shouted while demons jumped down from the spaceships, but were soon shot down by accurate shots from snipers.
However, the sky wasn't the only place where demons tried to attack. The whole White Paradise was surrounded as demons rushed through the gates, over the falls and from underground.
All the Chain Breakers and Angels hopped into the fight as they were trying to take down the endless army of demons.
Mammon was fighting against Nyx. Their battle rocked the earth. Every once in a while, the sky turned from blue to dark as night appeared out of nowhere.
The battle remained stalemate until now because of Mammon's strange ability to spread chemicals out of his body. The chemicals were toxic and even inhaling them slightly would kill a person instantly.
Nyx had to make sure the chemicals wouldn't enter White Paradise, because even gods would die or get paralyzed.
Some distance away, Belphegor and Eros' fight was slightly calmer as they weren't physical fighters.
Eros shot his love arrows while Belphegor continued talking, and every time he spoke, the love arrows changed direction and missed his body.
Belphegor's ability was commanding, and with his voice, he could command everyone to do whatever he wanted. Once, he managed to make Eros shoot love arrows towards Nyx, but they were blocked by the night goddess, and from that onward, he couldn't take Eros to his command.
Eros found out that he could only command others if they heard him, so he blocked his ears, and so far, it had worked. But, Belphegor's abilites were strange and might not be what they seem at first.
