"Raarrrggghhh!" Antares yelled in pain as he felt his chest being cooked.
Kenji didn't managed to continue when a light spear stabbed him from behind, penetrating through his defences.
"How?" Kenji muttered in surprise as blood flowed through the glowing white spear.
When Kenji turned around, he saw the Rulers flying behind him, while their supposed leader was the one who stabbed him from behind.
"Your threat has reached a level where you have to be eliminated." The Ruler said, trying to justify the sin of killing an innocent man and allying with the Monarchs.
"Fuck you." Kenji said as he held the light spear, slightly scorching his hand and tried to break it.
Cracks has appeared and spread from the tip of the spear.
"Impossible, we sacrificed the Cup of Reincarnation to forge this spear." The Ruler stared at him in shock and tried to pull the spear out.
"Too late!" Kenji said and used his strength to snap the spear into pieces.
The Ruler was in a state of shock, so he didn't managed to react from Kenji's punch to his face.
*BOOM!*
The Ruler's head was blown into pieces, shocking the Rulers and Antares.
"Is that all you've got?" Kenji said while directly creating a Senzu Bean inside his mouth.
It's one of his tricks that he learned. He could now create on any part of his body, not just with his hands.
The wound on his chest slowly healed, not even a scar remained.
"Impossible, is the spear made of the Absolute Being's power that weak?" One of the Rulers backed away slowly while muttering.
This caused a chain reaction where all the other Rulers also backed away in shock and fear.
"You Rulers are still the same. A bunch of Cowards!" Antares said to them before turning his head to Kenji.
"Do you really think I came here alone? My fellow monarchs must be destroying your beloved earth into pieces by now." Antares mocked however, instead of seeing the despair face of Kenji, he just saw him smirk confidence.
"What are you smirking for? Aren't you worried for your planet?"
"Oh, I am worried about my planet. But someone back there has already taken things off." Kenji waved his hands in refusal before pointing back at earth.

Meanwhile, back on earth, a lone man covered in purple and black mass was standing atop of two corpses beneath him.
Behind him was Beru and a huge unfamiliar shadow that towers over Beru by a few inches.
"I guess this battle is over." Jin-Woo said as he looked up in the space and saw the happenings that happened.
Earlier, when Jin-Woo died and closed his eyes, he didn't expect to meet with he original Shadow Monarch Ashborn and have a talk with him.
His eyes were opened from the truth that earth would just be a battleground from the incoming war between Rulers and Monarchs.
However, what he didn't expect was that the Rulers and the Monarchs might have formed an alliance just to get rid of him and Kenji.
After chatting with Ashborn for a few minutes, he was given a choice by him on whether he would like to go back to the land of living and continue to live or he could go into a world in his own making where there, he is a God that could do anything.
Although the offer was tempting, Jin-Woo remembered about his family and his friends and knew that he must go back to the land of living, so that's what he chose.
The moment he was finally back, his body was healed and he felt much more stronger compared to before.
However, what caught his attention was the fight that is ongoing around his area.
When he opened his eyes, he was met with the figure of his father that was breathing heavily and fighting with two unknown beings.
They then introduced themselves as the Iron Body Monarch and Yogumunt.
Both of them are Monarch who were giving his father a hard time, trying to protect his body, which is ongoing in an evolution to accept the full powers of Ashborn.
With Jin-Woo joining the fight, the fight was ended quickly as Jin-Woo was too strong for them to handle.
However, his father escaped from his vision after that, and when he finally found him, he was already dying and turning into motes of light.
They had a few seconds of chatting and apologizing before Jin-Woo finally hugged him for the last time before he go.
After a few minutes, another huge portal opened up and when he thought that he's gonna fight another big enemy, it turns out to be the Original Shadow Army of Ashborn who pledged their loyalty to him.
So far, he already has two shadow beings who could be as strong as a Monarch under his disposal.

Meanwhile, back in the space, Kenji was slaughtering the Rulers who were trying to run away from him like pigs.
However, Kenji was either too strong or too fast for them to react as before they could blink, they were already dead.
Antares could only watch this in satisfaction and fear. Satisfaction because his enemies were being slaughtered like pigs and fear because he knew that once Kenji was done with them, he would be the next one.
So, he planned to surprise attack him on his back, which is against his pride but his determination to live was much more stronger than his pride.
He conjured a beam on his mouth, but instead of releasing it, he decided to charge it up using all his energy and shaping it as thin as he could.
After Kenji was finally done to the last Ruler, he was about to turn around and face Antares, when he felt a danger ringing on his head.
But he was too late to dodge as he could already feel something piercing the back of his head but before it could go further, the time halts.
Both Antares and Kenji were of course immune to this but the same can't be said to the beam that Antares threw at Kenji.
"Omega." Antares muttered the name of the previous Star Monarch.
"I have arrived." A being made up of countless galaxies on his body came flying close to them as he said.
