They traversed the sea, Discovered that when Shu overused his mysterious gift, he would lose consciousness, and now they reached the new lands.
It was sunny, and it could've been a great day at the beach if it weren't for Shu's gift.
They genuinely were going to take a break for a day, they were out at sea for a while, and they should have set camp first, but Shu's eyes started to glow.
Shu saw visions of a masked girl with black hair and green eyes, a large red-haired man with black eyes, a blonde half-demoness with blue eyes, a stone monkey, and several more people.
He started walking in a particular direction.
["She would probably be with Armageddon"]
["Thomas! You finally found your daughter. How does it feel?"]
Shu heard voices in his head as he kept walking until he reached a clearing.
"Shu, what's going on?!"
Dam called out to him.
Dam, Hannah, and Thomas followed him since they were worried.
They heard loud rumbling sounds from the opposite side of the ship.
Boom
Boom
Boom
"Thomas! How are you? You finally found me."
It was the large man from Shu's vision. And these words felt familiar.
"What are you doing here, Armageddon? Where is Mary?"
Thomas shouted.
"I was told not to tell you."
Armageddon answered.
Thomas unsheathed his sword and launched at Armageddon.
Armageddon, holding his axe in one hand, swung the axe directly at Thomas.
The axe almost hit him when Shu caught the axe between the palms of his hands.
"Oh, so you are the one. Hey, leader! I found him!"
Armageddon said.
Shu didn't know what was happening and wasn't waiting for an answer. While holding on to the axe, he kicked its flat side to destroy it, but it didn't budge. He then tried aiming a kick at Armageddon, but the large man wasn't affected. This was his mightiest kick, and the pressure from that kick could be felt by everyone there.
"You should use a weapon. George always used a sword along with his strength."
The large man advised him. Shu was shocked. This enemy was so strong and showed no fear.
And who was this "George" person? Could this enormous beast of a man know Shu's father?!
"Armageddon, we are not here to fight them!"
Shu heard a girl's voice scold the large man. He tilted his head to look behind Armageddon to see who was talking. But he couldn't see who stood there because of Armageddon's large physique.
"Sorry, leader, I just wanted to have some fun."
Armageddon said, but looking into her piercing eyes, even that large, all-powerful man flinched.
Shu let go of Armageddon, and the latter withdrew the axe.
"What do you want?"
Hannah asked.
"I made a deal with the demon god to help Shu."
The leader said.
She was a girl wearing a mask with green eyes and black hair. She was of average height for women, a meter and sixty centimeters. A stature that is way shorter than Shu's one meter and eighty-seven centimeters height.
"Where is my daughter?!"
Thomas shouted angrily.
Shu could see the leader hesitate to answer. Something about her was familiar, though he couldn't explain why. Looking at those piercing eyes, he felt excitement.
If a blue-haired god were to appear right now and send them all away with wind magic, he would grab her hand without hesitation. Uh? What was this random and specific thought?
"You will meet your daughter at a later date."
The leader said. She pulled out a pocket watch and observed it.
She wasn't one bit concerned about Thomas right now. She had more important things to worry about.
"What do you mean by...?!"
Thomas asked, but then a voice appeared.
"Lame! I was expecting more action, maybe even for George to appear."
A blue-haired figure with closed eyes and a cunning smile stood in the air.
"This entire tournament is a sham. All these mortals with divine gifts are breaking the laws of the system!"
The figure claimed.
Shu could see the fear in the leader's eyes.
["Mary."]
Shu heard the voice in his head.
"But it's okay. I, Antony, the weather god, came down to this lowly plane to help get rid of the cheaters."
The blue-haired god said with a condescending tone.
["Antony."]
Shu had no time guessing what these names were. He could feel the temperature around them shifting and the winds strengthening.
If he didn't do anything now, they would be separated.
["Again."]
The wind was growing stronger and stronger, and it was getting hard to stick to the ground.
Shu ran toward the leader and grabbed her hand. He smiled widely and could see her becoming bashful.
Quickly after grabbing her hand, they were both flown away by a strong surge of air.
