Misha was startled, she didn't expect this answer. Tilting her head down as Ender started walking around. Nonchalantly.
"I guess you guys didn't understand. These guys are walking monsters, they used kids for their experiments. They have been doing this for decades. Someone should punish them for what they deserved."
The air went heavy, only the beating of the meat pasted over the walls and ceiling could be heard. Ruis, who was all silent, stuttered.
"Y– You– Why do you do this?"
"Because I can.. Also don't worry, when they have done their atonement for their sins. They will leave."
Misha quietly watched them, daring not to utter a word. At least not now.
"Humanity doesn't deserve suffering. Not everyone deserves it. Maybe they regret it later.. Even if they don't.. You are not a judge..."
Ender went silent, lost in himself for a few seconds. Ruis was staring at him.
"I know I am not a judge.. but in the end death is everyone's end. It doesn't matter if it comes earlier or later."
Ender solemnly declared.
Meanwhile Sara who was outside the room was still gasping for air, her skin pale as if she had seen the biggest horror of her life. Seeing her condition, Misha went to comfort her fragile self.
On the other side, Ruis sighed, his lips quivered with him mumbling.
"Death isn't the only principle. We can still live life without meaning."
"And how is that?"
"Sometimes you need illusions to deceive yourself."
Hearing this statement, Ender's lips curved to a smirk.
"How delusional you are–"
"Let's go Ender.."
Ruis interrupted, continuing.
"Let's go where we came from, it's all over.."
Ruis said, his tone darkened.
"This is just the beginning of everything."
Ender addresses before shifting his gaze towards the beating meat.
"Y– You.."
A whisper escapes from Ruis's lips. Enormous blue aura emerged from him as he charged at him with an energy infused punch. Ender didn't move an inch, as soon as the punch was about to hit him. It stopped, like there was an entire space between Ender and Ruis.
At this moment, Ruis understands. This was the same technique he himself used against Ender when they were blabbering around with others. Shocked.
Although he was startled, he didn't let that emotion overwhelm himself and instead infused more power to his punch. Soon the space between them started vibrating like struggling to hold itself apart. Witnessing this, Ender was surprised.
Ruis used another fist and this time the space itself cracked between them. This created a spatial tear, a crack in space itself where Ender and Ruis were both sucked by it.
When Misha came to the room, all she could see was a black crack of void drifting in space.
***
Ender and Ruis were standing on the void of deep space, here was nothing here except darkness.
"Using force is always the worst choice. It won't change anything.. you know this.."
The words could travel in this deep void of space. Ruis stared at him, an unreadable expression.
"You forced my hand."
He uttered, Ender began smirking.
Suddenly the void of endless space beneath their feet. A layer of crystalized white energy formed as a ground for them, it was Ender's doing.
"Then let's prove ourselves.. Ruis."
He extended his left arm towards him. Confident and continuing.
"With real force."
Ruis understood what he meant, they should use their physical strength only, rather than their supernatural abilities. He sighed, sealing away his spirituality as well as a faint light emerging from his chest for Ender. Indicating that they both have sealed away all their powers.
Ruis wasted no time and dashed towards Ender.

Sara was outside sitting on the floor leaning against the wall while hugging her knees. Her head lowered, she was still in awe after what she had seen.
Misha was in the same room, glaring at the beating meat bodies pasted over the walls and ceiling. With her authority, she came to read their thoughts, because they were humans. It didn't require her usual trust check to read their thoughts. So she could peek into their thoughts like Lisa.
~ It hurts.. It hurts more than the deepest layer of hell..
~ I can't stay like this.. I want to die..
~ Someone free me.. I don't have anything left in my world...
Her mind overwhelmed with so many thoughts, shutting her ears vigorously. She coughed. But she still didn't understand, who were they? In this moment, she heard a whisper within herself.
– You know when I told you what I did to Ruis.. When you were overloaded so I took control.. and went a bit berserk..
Misha recalled those memories, though she remembered nothing about it. Her inner self only showed a few moments what she did on that day.
– Do you want everything to be recalled? One of the reasons I didn't show them to you was for your own sanity.
She said without a second thought.
~ Show.
Visions started showing up in her mind, it was all the memories of what her own self had done on that day, in that dream.. to them. to her own friends.
Misha went speechless, first hitting her was Sara's sequence. Going silent until it fades away. Then came the Zack sequence. She got hit with his back story, it was so dreadful her knees couldn't hold up the weight.
Collapsing on the ground, gasping for air. Her amber pupils dilated, she grabbed her head with her both hands. Screaming intensely. Her body couldn't hold these awful memories up for much longer, at last it goes away.
She slammed her palms over the floor, her dress covered in cold sweat. Sighing with relief like it had faded away. Zack's sequence was over. Now finally at last.
When Ender's sequence came, she genuinely got perplexed. Mixing up of different emotions while her face remained blank. Her eyes narrowed like if she was deeply lost.
When it ended, she stayed like that, processing what the hell she had just seen.
– Now you see why I didn't show you the rest?
~ ...
After a moment, her glaze went over them. She thought about something, completely serious eyes but with a relaxed face. She addressed me.
"Looks like someone has to do it."
Taking a deep breath, she concentrated her eyes over them, all over the room, the ceiling, everywhere where they were paste over.
BANG!
Every meat there popped up like a balloon, blood and meat. Aside from her, the whole place turned into a mess. It seemed like she had made a special field or shield which is why it didn't catch her dress or her face.
She goes towards the spatial tear and extends her arm, now some golden strings spawn from her hands, they strangle over it and close the tear together like sewing a cloth.
Sighing and lowering her glaze, she was about to go but Sara came thumping. Maybe because of the popping sound. When her gaze went over the room, the mess, everything. Then at her..
"Just like that night.. right?"
Sara mumbled smiling, Misha didn't utter a word; instead she went beside her, outside the room.
"Our work is over. Ruis will handle the rest."
Sara tilted her head down, she is too sensitive to not withstand it all. Standing there wondering while leaning against the door's frame. Before departing from here.
***
It was Zack's car, he was leaning to the front seat while Lisa at the back seat was leaning to the window.
"Did you see everything?"
Zack whispered, his arms around his head. Having a surprisingly relaxed face is what made Lisa quite startled.
"Do you think I will tell everyone about this?
She questioned, her gaze shifted over him. Zack paused, thinking about possible outcomes.
"Some stories aren't meant to be told, they are meant to be felt by heart."
"Do you have a heart?"
Zack went silent, he could feel Lisa's crimson pearls staring at him from behind.
"We should go from here I guess.. when they come back, they will just let us know where we are."
Lisa stated, hearing this Zack sighed, before he could start.
"The rift?"
He inquired, a bit tired.
"It will disappear when they exit from it."
She replied without looking at him, he hissed before whisking the car very fast to turn around. Lisa surprisingly didn't lose her balance. Seeing this from the rearview mirror he was a bit startled because he did it intentionally. Nevertheless, adjusting the rearview mirror, they set out.
"Where are we going?"
She queried, leaning to the window with one arm.
"To hospital."
Puzzled, before she could ask for clarification. He did it himself.
"My mother is there."
"So?"
"I have a bad feeling about her."
She leaned back, tired. Her silky hair rustled along with the wind. Closing her eyes. Zack didn't seem to notice this cause he was too concentrated over driving.
Moments Later...
The rift started distorting, before two girls came out from it. They both had blank expression paste over their faces. Seeing around to not find the car Misha hissed.
She tried to contact them telepathically which she succeeded.
~ Where are you both right now?
She said with a tired tone.
~ At the hospital.
~ Which hospital?
~ The one where Zack's mom is admitted.
Hearing this, she shoved her hand over Sara's hand. When she grabbed it, they disappeared from there and teleported on a small alley. This alley was beside the hospital, they strolled from here.
***
WHACK!
Ender punched Ruis really hard on his face so much that he lost his balance, at the same time kicking him away. Both were soaked in their blood, clothes ragged, heavily injured.
Ender had an edge on his endurance and quantity of martial arts and fighting styles while Ruis had an edge on his stamina and his quality of martial arts and fighting styles.
Both could be classified as superhumans in this case. If that's the case then Zack could easily be classified as a peak superhuman.
Ruis smirked at him, getting up while Ender stared at him deadpan.
"You really are something... Ruis."
He mumbled, his tone was frighteningly gentle and soft as ever. Before Ruis could say something, he continued.
"I guess this will prove nothing but time."
A blue spark lights up in Ender's chest, Ruis understands what it indicates. But before he could do something about it. Ender's wounds regenerate in a blink of an eye. So his clothes. Ruis mirrored him.
"Now the doomsday has begun."
Ender said with a graceful smile. Yet the horror within it was greater than anything else.
A portal appeared behind Ender. He leaped so fast that it felt like he had teleport. Ruis sprints and makes it through in time.
When he looked around he was flabbergasted, it was Zack's mother room, in the hospital. Zack, Lisa, Misha, Sara, then him. All were here.
Everyone was stunned, why did Ender come here? They didn't know.
"What are you trying to do?"
Ruis asked, baffled. It was not like everyone had different reactions, they had the same expression as him.
Ender glimpse over Zack's mother lying on bed. Then at them.
"Zack..."
He muttered, but before Zack could utter a word he continued.
"Kill her."
