Present Day, Ramenent city, 12:50 pm

While Olly was healing Roy, out of the blue a earth golem appears and destroys everything around it. Olly gets confused of what's happening, she destroys the golem using her thick branches she binds the golem right and breaks it into pieces. Olly understood something big was going on in the city.

Meanwhile,

Matteo starts laughing like a menace, Zen sees it a good opportunity to escape and tries to find Salma. He sensed Salma's energy and tracks him down, seeing him trapped inside the tree he tries to break free Salma but Olly stops him using her branches. Zen dodges her attack, 'my emotions are very strong to handle people like you who try deceive my friend', mumbled Zen and throws fallen and broken buildings around him using his feelings attached to earth towards Olly, which she couldn't predict and gets hit.

*Dragon's Paradise*, attacks Olly

(Olly creates a dragon made of thick branches which listens to her commands)

The dragon swallows Zen but Zen escapes using his feelings attached to plants and tress rip off the branches of the dragon but the dragon re grows it. Olly orders the dragon to attack Zen until Zen gets defeated. Zen rips off the whole dragon in a single blow, Olly understood she cannot defeat him using her simple techniques. But it was too late to understand, Zen throws hatred beasts at her.

(Hatred beasts are flying one eyed raefs, these raefs have a tremendous hatred against anyone they see and try to eliminate by getting near them and self explodes)

Olly doesn't understand what to do, by the time Roy gets healed up and destroys all the Hatred beasts in a second without getting hit.

'Seems like captain Williams got easy on you', said Roy to Zen. Zen looked disappointed, 'in 1953, the wizard cursed this world that it will end in next 100 years and today it's 2023, it has been 70 years nothing has happened'. 'You know why's that? It's all because the earth is breaking down slowly after 1953 and this time it has reached its peak', said Zen to Roy.

Roy asked curiously what is his plan, to which Zen replies, 'I want to eradicate humans from this earth so that they cannot harm our mother nature, it's because of us the world will end not for that wizard'. 'There's just a flaw in my plan, the monster sometimes become possesive and violent but I can manage that'. 'I have created around 20,000 monsters and have converted 15,000 of them into tress and plants giving their cursed souls freedom to be free'.

Roy remains silent for some seconds and then speaks, 'it's a good plan but you know there are many flaws in your plan, first off you are also converting innocent people into raefs who have nothing to with this, secondly at the end you will be the villain, thirdly the path you have chosen is wrong but your plan is good and at last no one will be associated with your plan like this if they don't have a strong feeling attached to earth like you'. 'You have to understand what you are doing is right but the path you have chosen is wrong, you can still do it if you rethink'. Zen was staggered to hear him, Zen bursted in tears.

'You know what I have done cannot be changed and what I am doing I can't stop it now, so I have to continue this'. Olly hears all these conversations between Zen and Roy, she thought Roy has gone mad and attacks Zen creating massive venus fly traps and aim them towards Zen. Zen tries to dodge but gets swallowed by the venus fly trap, Roy got furious and asked Olly to stop to which Olly replies, 'Roy you are too naive he's trying to manipulate you, he's nothing but a monster taking lives of innocent people'. 'That man you were taking to turned my dad into a raef, that's the reason I won't forgive him for what he has done'.

Olly's Past

Olly is from a lower middle class family in Britain, she was a bright student in her school days. She lived a happy life living with her parents, but 4 months ago, her father turned into a raef out of the blue when he came home from a tiring job, he was a soldier in the 7th department of cause and effect. He came very happy that day he was being promoted to a lieutenant but his happiness didn't last long and out of nowhere he turned into a raef. He became violent and killed his eldest son. At that time Olly had just joined the 7th department of cause and effect, she was horrified seeing her father like. But at last she had to kill her own father to protect her and her mother.

Present Day

Roy cuts the venus fly trap's mouth and saves Zen. Olly was pissed off from that and attacks Roy pointing her thick branches at him, those thick branches try to lacerate Roy but he blocks the attack keeping him busy for a while.

"My father died because of you! Devil! He was a good and honest man but you turned him into a raef and destroyed our family. My little brother is also dead because of you. I worked hard everyday not taking a single day off from work, I became the lieutenant of the 7th department in just 2 months. My father worked 4 years to get there, and you destroyed everything for what? To save this world from curse? Your death is written on my hands!", yelled Olly!

*Dead Garden, Holy garden grew by the Devil*

The area surrounds with a lots of flowers and plants, it looked like a garden made by God. The floral odour pleased Zen, it was a quiet place and bees humming butterflies sucking the nectar. But then suddenly Zen's both arms broke his legs started to shake, his body was twisting slowly, he bacame pale and skinny. At the time Roy came to help Zen but he was about to die, every part of his body was broken before dying he saw Roy and said softly, 'I deserve this, kill the monster after I die'. Zen passes away. Zen's body turned into a massive 6 armed, one eyed, emotionless monster.
