While the Nine Gods and Goddesses were searching for the cause of the Law of Time and Space, the volcano, along with the entirety of Mindanao, started shaking, an earthquake which is unprecedented in all of Humanities history with a magnitude almost like an asteroid hitting the face of the Earth.
Realizing that they are now too late to reseal the monstrosity within the volcano. The 9 Guardian Gods used their Divine powers to suppress the relentless shock of the earthquake which will significantly affect or destroy the entire Mindanao and be submerged into the sea.
If they can't stop the monstrosity that will soon be appearing, the outcome would even be much more disastrous, killing almost a third of Humanity.
All Nine Gods, along with Amaterasu, used everything they can muster at that moment to protect the lives that will soon be lost. The Gods started chanting a scripture related to the Gods' first Origins.
Like all of the other Gods, they all have this similarity in which they procure faith from their believers to manifest their Divine powers and if no one believes that God, then... That God will cease to exist, and that's why it's evident for them to protect Humanity at all costs, as even if they were to perish, so long as the people still have faith and believe in them, then they will eventually resurrect.
While all of them are doing their best to suppress the tremors, Amaterasu's Divine Soul diminishes, making her existence faintly visible as time goes by.
The Eight other Righteous Gods and Goddesses saw her exhausting her Divine Powers to the brim, resulting in what they see now.
Ganesha spoke out towards Amaterasu with a caring look. "Amaterasu! Don't go too far! Your Divinity is already on the brink of collapse! If you go any further than this...!"
The Sun Goddess didn't mind and jokingly said. "Ha...! Old Gan! You should worry about yourselves more! If that being were to emerge even if it's only a fragment! You'll all vanish along with me either way!"
She then smirked at Ganesha and the other Divine Beings with an exhausted look on her face as if she was determined to play the hero.
Acintya, most commonly known as Lord Shiva, the Supreme God of Indonesia, spoke out of concern to the panting Goddess."Sun Goddess, retreat now and ask for reinforcement before everything else falls apart... We must gather the other Guardians from the North"

Shiva is often associated with the sun god and depicted in human form with flames surrounding him, dancing in some strange melody. His main weapon is a Lochaber Axe made out of his fiery flames.

While the Nine Gods were arguing, the mortal Rey snapped out of it in reality; there, he saw an amazing sight to behold. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to see or experience it again.
Rey continued to look up at the sky following the flow of golden illustrious light gathering at the volcano.
There, he saw Nine beings gathered together with their palms out, gathering the Golden Light. "Marvelous..." Rey's eyes glowed, his pupils suddenly changed color, matching the brilliance emanating from the surroundings.
As he continued to stare at the unison of brilliant light, something within Rey awoken.
Deep inside his consciousness, something or someone decided to emerge and, with a voice akin to strong dominance, spoke."HUMAN... ARE YOU MY DESCENDANT?."
Judging from the sound and depth of its voice, it seems to be a "human" male.
Hearing his voice, Rey suddenly got devoured inside his consciousness as if the unknown being inside of him grabbed him into the bottomless abyss with a touch of watery sensations.
Upon getting pulled in, he looked at the hand which grabbed him, and there he saw as he continuously followed through back to its origin.
'What the...' After getting shock after shock, he now has immunity from it, and so he just straight looked up at the person behind him.
From the shadows in the depths of the Abyss, an eye glowed bright inside the eternal darkness, radiating a shade of ferocious lightning." CHILD, ARE YOU MY DESCENDANTS?" it continued to ask Rey of what he questioned of him earlier.
Rey's eyes were wide open as he stared at the eye; from the total darkness, only its eye and hand emerged reaching out towards the light.
From the perspective of the Divine Being, as he questioned Rey. 'Why is this child not answering?' He then thought that maybe he grabbed hold of his hands too tightly, making him unable to speak because of the unbearable pain.
He then adjusted his grip to the bare minimum of which a human can take but even after doing it, Rey didn't respond just the same.
'What's the matter with this child?' the being thought. Upon thinking of ways to get Rey to talk, he raised his other arm and immediately swung it towards Rey's face.
*SLAP* The sound of the slap echoed throughout the darkness, and Rey was just there taking his hit, resulting in his right cheek completely swollen with that one slap.
He then asks again. "Are you my descendant?"
Rey tried his best to answer but couldn't and so the Divine Being then slapped his face again and asked."Are you my descendant? Answer me!"
Even after both of Rey's cheeks turned completely plump, he didn't answer, leaving him with no choice. He slapped Rey several more times.
*SLAP!*
*SLAP!*
*SLAP!*
*SLAP!*
.....
....
...
..
After dozens of slaps, he asked again showing his annoyed expression within his eyes. "ARE YOU MY DESCENDANT?!"
Rey just cried out with no utter sound as if he were mute, even after opening his mouth trying to express his immense pain.
Noticing something, the Divine Being hiding within the darkness is showing a guilty expression in his eye.
"Oof... I forgot to lift the restrictions...HAHAHAHAHA...." He said as if he was trying to bury the hatchet with just his blaring laughter.
Rey sees him laughs at him, and is completely bummed out and depressed, with a tear of sorrow flowing from his two beautiful eyes.
