In Terra, D.C.
Ethan stepped out of the Tsukuyomi Realm and immediately took out Bard's horn, blowing into it.
"Hey, what's up?" Bard's smug voice echoed through.
"Come to Augustus and pick me up," Ethan replied urgently.
"Don't rush me! I just robbed 80 bank vaults, let me hit a few more first," Bard teased.
"Forget the banks! Ancient Death God is about to ascend to godhood. Get here now!" Ethan pressed.
"Ascend to godhood!? Seriously? I'm on my way!" Bard responded. "Hold on, Golden Hand, stop stealing while I'm gone!"
After finishing the call with Bard, Ethan turned to scan the area. In the distance, the military was still watching him closely, not daring to move in. On the other side, he saw Chasing Fate and the Security Captain—surprisingly, they had survived the recent explosion. That was unexpected.
He also spotted his avatar further ahead, holding Lily's hand, with Claire still unconscious beside them.
