Anger is a concept derived from emotions. By the rules of causality, there are several aspects that can trigger anger and it's different for every being
Anger is also considered as a deadly sin... But why?
With anger, power comes next... But where does that power come from? It shouldn't come from nothing
There are several stages of anger, each stage becomes drastically destructive and more powerful
There is a reason why the Nine Gates of Wrath has its name, and there is a reason why the 5th gate is the Wrath Gate and Philip hasn't reached the 6th gate no matter how angry he got and even if he achieved his bottomless anger
But Philip's anger is unique... An anger that is different from anything else... An anger that denies causality and breaks reasoning
Unaffected by consequences that he causes when he's angry
But this time, the consequences is beyond him and more than he could imagine

The moment Amare was killed, the ancient ones immediately knew that she died. They were alarmed and worried
[Was she killed by the possessor of Omega?]
[But that's impossible! We allowed her to use parts of our power]
[That's exactly why this is very alarming...]
[What do we do? Are we going to invade this universe and take care of him ourselves?]
[No, the True Gods will berate us]
[Why do they care about this universe anyway?!!]
[All the other universes here are practically the same!]
[It is not! According to Great Ones, this particular universe is an exception...]
[There is something in this universe that the other universes doesn't have]
[Then that denies the rules of the multiverse, isn't it? Aren't all universes supposed to be the same, but different?]
[All universes are varrying... They're ultimately the same, but different]
[The timelines for each universe are the same and nothing can change that]
[So, are we targeting this universe because it's different from the rest or it has a different timeline?]
[Both]
[Both?]
[What do you mean?!]
[The Fate Controller in this universe... Doesn't exist in other universes and timelines. Yet, the outcome and the sequence of events are still the same]
[What?!!!]
[How is that possible?!]
[Can you elaborate?]
[Imagine ten completely identical stories, all sequence of events are the same. Some of them might have different processes, but the outcome and sequence is the same...]
[But one of those ten stories has one extra character or concept... The sequence of events are still the same but that character or concept is actively changing everything... That is this universe, an exception to everything else]
[Then, what are the consequences if we ignored this?]
[We do not know... All we know is that the Fate Controller is dangerous and we need to specifically pluck him out, not the universe itself]
[Do we have to do this?]
[Yes, there's no other choice... We have to keep the stability of the Ten Dimensions... Because of him, every realm, worlds, dimensions, and higher existences are reacting to his power]
[Where is Time and Space, and Life and Death anyways?!]
[We don't know... They disappeared #########UY ago... Whenever everyone finds them again, I'm sure they'll get an earful]
[Those damned higher existences...]
[What do we do now? So do we invade this universe and erase the Fate Controller?]
[What about this... I'll send another revelation to one of my priestesses and let them eliminate the Fate Controller]
[What if they failed again?!]
[All of us... The 10,001 of us Ancient Ones have to invade this universe ourselves... If a priestess that has the permission to use our powers is unable to eliminate the Fate Controller, then us going there by ourselves should be enough to erase the Fate Controller]
[Sounds like a plan!]
[Very well then...]
[Alright]
The ancient ones reached to an agreement. The 10,001 ancient ones collectively focus on the universe that Philip is in and gave an ancient revelation to another priestess to kill him
The universe that is shining in golden light floated across the void of time and space. Around it are the other universes that has various colors, some are transparent, some are inversed, and some have multiple colors. But this particular universe that Philip is in, is the only universe that is gold in color
[Now, we wait...]
The ancient revelation has been passed on to the universe and immediately reached Earth. The priestess received it and she smirked. A few seconds later, she frowned and rage welled up within her
An explosion of black mass bursted forth from her and deleted the house she was in
She immediately left the scene and went to another place
~~~
Several hours has went by and it was already dusk in Los Angeles. Momentary peace has settled around the mansion and the city calmed down after the local government assured the public
Yozu, Lemegeton, and Kamijou ended the world conference without Sai and Philip. They also explained what happened without revealing anything important about the disappearance of Sai and Philip, as well as the disturbance caused by Amare around the world
With the official announement of the new age and the new world, numerous circulation of products, information, goods, and many more. The internet and social media became wildfire as several varrying minds clashed each other. Different opinions, conspiracy theories that might be true, and facts and logic getting thrown across each other
But those matters are insignificant to the aftermath in the mansion
The weather was clear and the sky directly above the mansion was glowing in blue color. The only people that are left outside were several maids and butlers. They quickly tried to rebuild the torn down wall as cement trucks and concrete bricks are already outside of the library
Braudain was outside watching the maids and butlers work while roaming around. He felt a sense of longing as he reminisced the kingdom back in Saykrandae
Clara and Corleona stayed in their room, where Philip woke up this morning, while reading the books of Earthenmana. Clara was eager to learn while Corleona stayed indifferent
Satou locked himself in his room as he quickly wrote several papers after witnessing the battle earlier. He was struck iwth a flash of inspiration for magic and mana since he didn't see anything like it before
Rue, on the other hand, helped to tend to the severely injured Mathilda. Her skin was burnt, her left eye became ashes, and her hands are destroyed. Particles that seemed emchanical dispersed from her injuries but dissipate in the air after some time
Natsuki, Natsume, and Natsu looked at Mathilda while tearing up, except for Natsu
"I apologize..."
Natsu spoke
"We shouldn't have done that while you're held down by Amare!"
Natsuki said while sniffing her nose
"I should've nullified it..."
Natsume said quietly
"Quiet! This is not your fault!"
Rue shouted
"I agree that there should have been another way, but... This may have been the necessary route to take. If you did not conjure that Solar Engulfment and stalled Amare, Philip would've arrived late..."
"..."
The fire sisters were silent
Meanwhile, Sheena is sitting on the other side of the room while looking at Mathilda's face
'What is she? What are we? I saw a vision the moment I touched her... Are we related or something? I'm confused... Can I help her feel better?'
Sheena was in turmoil. She can't think properly
Those aren't just the things that are inside their minds. They are overwhelmed and worried of Philip. Though, Mei'er is neutral
Mei'er sat near Sheena while staring into empty space and nothingness. The Crystal Flower is still hovering above her head and her eyes are pulsating with white light and her pupils are flashing with rainbow colors. She seemed to be in a stasis mode, but fortunately, she's now conscious
Bea was neutral and kept deciphering the One-paged Book that Justine gifted her while construction is ongoing in the library. She was unfazed by the noise as she gave her hundred percent concentration to decipher the mysterious book
Celine sat inside her room while she's deep in thought. She wrapped her arms with the rose colored engineered bandages that she got from the military before going to the unstable Mana Hotspot. She then trained inside her room as she shadow boxed while mastering the True Recoiless Technique inside her head. Although, her thoughts are filled with worry after seeing Philip's status and appearance after he unleashed a powerful strike out of anger
Camille went back to her room and slept. She became exhausted even without doing anything. The two turbulent Cursed Energy is still swirling around her in a helix form
Alucard took Sai into their room and took care of her. He was very worried because he never saw Sai made that face before, after being released in the Shadow Realm by Philip. He hugged her tightly on the bed while she breathed heavily every second. Alucard did everything from applying the 73rd ability on to her by biting her neck and affecting her life force by talking and assuring her that everything's going to be fine with the Soulblood Energy
Jude was tending to Terra as he carried him to his bed. He's still unconsious and Jude stood by in case Terra needed anything, perfectly executing his role as the head butler
Vanessa also went back to her room and her alchemy laboratory. The moment she entered her room and saw the mysterious vials that Justine gave her six months ago, her eyes swirled and she gritted her teeth. She lifted her hands and clutched her hair, next to her cheeks
"AHHHHH!!"
She screamed and she went ahead and thrashed everything around her, excluding the alchemy pot, the mysterious vials, papers regarding the vials, and a few utensils, tools, and ingredients
On the other hand, Kyouko is still in her room. No one knows what she has been doing and no one in the mansion has seen her for the past six months. Although, Jude, Mathilda, and Alucard find this as normal
Ken was placed in a room and left alone since he seemed the healthiest one out of the three gods. His sword potential and energy immediately filled the room with sword intent and domain to protect his body
The mansion entered momentary peace and quiet after the fight with Amare...
But, there is one place that is denser and turbulent than the rest of the mansion. This place has somehow erected a barrier that doesn't allow anyone to go near it or enter it. Also, ther are no communications that enter this place, so Anonymous' eyes, Dragon Queen's Vision, or any other higher being's surveillance or eyes could see inside
This is Philip's room
~~~
Philip's room was dark and dimly lit, red smoke, aura, and air, almost like blood, filled the room. The atmosphere is also heavy that it looked like the gravity has been increased. A loud heartbeat can also be heard occasionally, which sends a ripple across the room
He was sitting on his bed in a crosslegged position. His eyes are glowing with a golden color and his right iris is glowing with violet color. The assimilated Omega System is already gone, since his eyes has changed to its normal look. His hair still has gold and red hair while the Blood Horn is on his forehead and the full Blood Crown is floating above his head
He is still wearing the red sleeveless hoodie and dark red shorts that was conjured by the Pureblood as clothing
He looked fine until his right arm came to vision
Bright white light illuminated the right side of his body. White roots grew from his right shoulder onto his right jaw, neck, cheek, and chest. The entirety of his right arm is white and the light slowly pulsates. Red liquid revolved around his arm in an erratic manner while piercing through his arm. Several golden circle, resembling magic circles, surrounded every segments and joints of his fingers, hand, wrist, and arm
He was looking forward fiercely, as if someone was standing in front of him that they seemed to have tension and calmness at the same time
The person standing in front of him was Tenshi, not her usual appearance, but her void form, the one that the Omega System deemed as an exception
Tenshi stared back at Philip with her big glowing white eyes. The light from her eyes were static and her void body is very quiet
Philip spoke that sounded like it was filled with intense anger. Though, Philip didn't mean to sound angry
"Who are you?"
