Cratos woke up panting. His surrounding was a disaster.
A battle was undergoing. Cratos didn't know who're in the battle.
"Cratos, you're alright? Come. We have to stop them before one of them dies." Rei rushed in and said.
3 hours ago. Rei and his comrades arrived at the Monument of Seal. "Guess they are already escaping. " Sun said.
Sikhi closed his eyes for a moment and felt the elements' movement.
"Over there." Sikhi pointed in a certain direction where the smoke came up in the sky.
The three of them walked towards the smokes. They saw Damon beside campfires.
"Monkey, don't get near him. Unless Rei said so. " Sikhi warned Sun. Sun seems to be confused with what Sikhi said.
"Huh? Are you worrying about me? Haha, even in my past life, I never lost him. Relax." Sun replied with confidence.
"No. It's not for you. It's for him." Sikhi spoke calmly looking at Damon.
Damon seemed to be shaken a bit because he hadn't seen other people for almost 2 years. He was offered a sacrifice when he was 10 and now he was 12.
"Don't you dare come any closer? Don't blame me if you did. " Damon got into a ready position to defend himself.
"Hey, we are Cratos' friends. He's with you right?" Sun got near Damon without realizing it. Both Rei and Sikhi got startled. "Hmmm? Why do you guys look like I ha.....Argggggggg!!!!" Sun felt something burning in his head.
Sun falls onto the ground, rolling in pain. "What's ha... Arrrrrrrrrr! happening?"
"Rei, this is bad. This idiot will be controlled by the Holy element at this rate. It won't stop unless he killed Damon." Sikhi said.
"Why? This didn't happen in my last timeline." Rei asked.
"In your last timeline, the monkey was the one who released Damon. You didn't know because we met after 1 year passed that. " Sikhi calmly said.
" Did this also hap..."
"No, monkey had to fight Erebos, and the Holy element defined Erebos as the only enemy because he sucked all the Death Command Damon had. Later, Damon's Death Command slowly recovered but became tame with monkey's Holy Element. That's why monkey maintained his consciousness." Sikhi answered before Rei could finish his question.
"Argggghhhhhhhhhh!" Sun was totally under control by Holy Element. His eyes shined red.
"Rei, we have to find a way to make Sun wake up. Or he will die by the headband I give. If not, Damon will die by him. " Sikhi summoned a dragon. "Damon, get on to the dragon. Now go." Sikhi didn't move because Cratos was still there.
"Don't worry about Cratos. I'll take care of him." Sikhi said and let Damon run with the dragon he summoned.
Sun grew a lot bigger. Bigger than a 4-story house. So was his Jingu Bang. "Raghhhhhh!" Sun pulled his Jingu Bang from his back and slammed down at the way the dragon went with his all might.
Damon could see Jingu Bang falling over him at high speed. Damon thought it was the end for him. But to his surprise, Jingu Bang stopped in mid-air.
"Monkey, put yourself together. If you want to be the next me." Sikhi yelled at the unconscious Sun from the shoulder of 18 hands statue of himself. The statue stopped the Jingu Bang.
Sun swiftly jumped 360 degrees and kicked the statue.
Phone!!!!!
5 hands of the statue held Sun's leg. "It's going to be rough. Let me tame you, wild monkey!" While holding Jingu bang with 3 hands and Sun's leg with 5 hands, 4 hands grabbed Sun's both hands.
The 2 hands of the statue formed hands signs, " 6 mudras of Awakening. Kubera Mudra: Holy Wisdom!" Sikhi shouted his Awakening powers of the Holy element and the statue formed a 1 hand sign and the other remaining hands hit Sun in the face and all over his body at the same time.
" Gyan Mudra: Supreme Concentration " 1 hand sign.
" Dhyana Mudra: Perfect Balance" 2 hands sign.
" Hakini Mudra: Calm Harmony" 2 hands sign.
" Buddhi Mudra: Greatest Understanding " 1 hand sign.
" Rudra Mudra: Highest Potential" 1 hand sign.
Every time Sikhi shouted out his Awakening powers, the statue hit Sun with Holy Element flowing within its hands.
Sun's whole body was covered in bruises. Sikhi thought that was enough and released the statues' grabbing.
As soon as Sun escaped the grabs, he knocked off the statue's head with jingu bang. Sun got angrier.
The more Sun got angry, the furry and the bigger he became.
"Look at you, you became the real monkey." Sikhi joked on Sun. And the battle went on.
On the ground was Rei. Rei was questioning whether she knew everything about her memories of the past timeline or not.
Rei quickly shook off the thoughts and went for Cratos. The ground had been spread out by the fight between Sun and Sikhi's statue. She had to find Cratos before one of them accidentally crushed him.
She saw him and dashed toward him but Sun fall between Rei and Cratos. Rei lost her sight of Cratos again.
This went on for about 3 hours, and finally, she woke Cratos.
After Rei went through rough details about what had happened, consecutive thundering sounds of 2 hard things hit each other.
Sun and the statue Sikhi summoned hit each other in turn.
" Sun would die at this rate. I have to do something. " Rei said. "Cratos, go look for Damon."
" I'm here." Damon jumped from the dragon to Rei and Cratos.
" Ok, this is convenient. I know you're a vessel of one of the greatest enemies of Leviathan, Māra, the god of Dark and Rebellion. I need a hand." Rei said to Damon.
Damon was hesitating. Rei put her hand on Damon and said, " They may look scary to you now. But they will become your family from time to time. Not just them, we all will be. We may not be blood-related but they will be different from those blood-related ones who sacrificed you. Ok?"
Damon turned to Cratos and Cratos nodded.
"Ok, so Sis, what's the plan?"
