That day, the image of the giant monster being defeated was broadcasted throughout the whole world, and every person that saw the phenomenon cheered with joy.
[Ligurian Sea Rescue Boat]
"He did it!!!Mr. Gojo defeated it!" yelled Arthur and Victor. This was also the first time that I experienced a feeling like this as well. Looking behind me I could also see Emily crying.
'She's finally able to let it all out'… I embraced Emily and once again turned to look towards the broadcast.
"It's finally over, isn't it Mr. Gojo."

[United Nations Geneva's Executive Office]
The members that had stood up before, all fell on their chairs as if having lost all strength.
"Thank god… Humanity somehow managed to survive."
"However the problem from now on is that a lot of people will appear that will start doubting the United Nations."
"To think that President Hans would disappear at a time like this… We have absolutely no clue as to where he might be."
"A lot of bad rumors circulated about him either way.They'll probably use this chance to dig up even more stuff."
Afterwards it would be revealed that the research facility that President Hans was working with, was trapping and using Mutants in order to create weapons for Prometheus, the whole thing would become a huge scandal.
The Prometheus that was originally made in order to denounce Mutants, committed actions that completely went against its ideals, and it was precisely those actions that brought its downfall.

[Switzerland・Bern・The Sanctuary Knights' Headquarters]
"He finally did it."
Leo: At first I thought that it was impossible as well, however Gojo had managed to prove me wrong. Looking around I could see that all of the members of The Sanctuary Knights had shock showing on their faces.
"Leo, we'll be pretty busy from now on won't we?"
"I guess so, we also need to go to the United Nations and explain the situation to them as well.And the media will probably flock us as well, but if it's just that then it's going to be fine."
'And I also need to go and thank Gojo as well.'
"The appearance of this monster, I get the feeling that this time it was really set out to eliminate humanity… It almost felt like it was moving according to someone's will." said Alexander voicing out what I was thinking as well. It still wasn't the time for us to let our guards down, rather the real fight could very well have just started.
"Either way, we must fortify The Sanctuary Knights.We should cooperate with Gojo and not let even the smallest change escape our sight."
The members that were currently gathered here, in this point in time, made a new vow.

After going to the place where I defeated Vishnu, as I had expected, the candy was lying there on the ground. It's like something was trying to tell me that these candies were essential. I picked it up and appraised it.
Drastically increases the owner's life force.
"Life's Cradle?"
'I don't quite get it, but I guess I'm going to need it for later battles… I mean I ended up using Dragon Blast as well…'
I didn't like it at all, but I still ended up eating it. After which I look at my status…
HP 5397/5397 → 49876/49876
'My HP really did increase drastically!It went up close to 10 times… But what exactly is the meaning of this?'
Thinking about that, I noticed that a change had occurred in another part of my status as well.
'Did it get influenced by Life's Cradle?'
My Unique Skill Ultra Recovery had experienced a change as well.
'Ultra Recovery… Ultra?What in the world is going on!?'
I decided to appraise it once more to see what had changed.
The owner can completely regenerate even if he loses 99% of his body.
Thinking back to it Ultra Recovery was an amazing skill on its own, but looking at it now it's on a whole new level. No matter how I looked at it, there was no way I could die.
Finishing up with appraising the skills, there was one more thing that I had to do.
Before fighting, I used a certain Class Slate. It was precisely the Alchemist Class Slate. It wasn't a class that had anything to do with the fight, however I thought that it would be great if I could create weapons for the kids so I had decided to use it. Appraising myself once again I saw that…

'It's good that I managed to tame Vishnu, but will I even have the chance to use him?To be honest I don't think I'll even get the chance…'
With everything out of the way I used teleportation and went back to the monastery.

"There's no mistaking it.It's him!"
"How did you find out?"
"A friend of mine is in the Self-Defense Forces.He really isJapanese!Apparently he's a mutant called The Explosion Magician. He appeared around the time Japan's BOSS was taken down."
It seemed like Matsuda had friends in the Self-Defense Force and the Government, which he had used in order to gather information. With a number of contacts he had been able to confirm the validity of the information, and had already gotten the go to from the copy editor department.
"Are you announcing it in tomorrow's morning paper?"
"Yes.We'll be on time!
