After Clariss screamed at the top of her lungs, Arius collapsed and lost consciousness on the platform. At the same time, everyone was shocked by what had happened, and Nina collapsed to the ground, only to be caught by Rymus, who for his part did not fully grasp what had just happened except for his knowledge of the abilities of the one dubbed the "Black Eye."
Karma rose from his seat, screaming at the Master in a terrifying voice: "Follow him! Determine his location! Do not let him leave here ever! Find him, and if you find him, kill him immediately!"
Indeed, the Master ordered Karma's special forces to deploy across the universes to locate the Black Eye and eliminate him as quickly as possible. Nahira gazed into the atmosphere, not uttering a single word as she looked toward the screen. After that, she smiled cunningly and said: "What a surprise! Things turned out completely different than I expected. That person in the black mask is truly interesting." Then, she began to laugh amidst the chaos that gripped the place.
After that, she ordered her guards to take her unconscious sister, Clariss, to her room, and turned toward Karma, who was still struggling to comprehend what had happened.
Karma said: "How could someone like this enter my world and do whatever he pleases?"
Nahira replied: "Calm down, take things simply. That person must have had a goal in mind."
Wang stepped forward and said: "Pardon me, my lords."
Both of them looked at him, and Wang continued: "In truth, we encountered this person in our world a day ago, and unfortunately, we couldn't stop him. I told my father, and he said that this person is very dangerous, though he didn't elaborate much on the matter."
Karma said: "Whatever the case, he is just scum like the rest of them. He will be eliminated; no one messes with my world like this and escapes my punishment."
Wang said: "Master, my father told me something—I don't know if you are aware of it or not—but he told me that he might be the one dubbed the Black Eye, who is even stronger than him personally."
Nahira widened her eyes sharply and said: "Ooh, what kind of talk am I hearing?"
Karma looked at her and said: "No, that person is just an amateur. He got a reward worth 200 quadrillion for minor crimes he committed, according to the Existential System. What matters to us now is why he truly entered our world, and also why he killed Arius."
Wang said: "He basically came to us searching for him."
After a while, the Master arrived and said: "Master, I discovered an important matter."
Karma asked: "And what is it?"
The Master replied: "It seems the Black Eye is truly targeting specific entities and liquidating them at the request of Gestoria."
Karma said: "A hired assassin, then."
The Master said: "Perhaps, but we reached the place where he was and found no one; he must have escaped."
Karma said: "You must find him before he gets outside the universes."
The Master replied: "We have closed the spacetime portals; no one will be able to leave any world ever again."
On the other side, Rymus was comforting Lina, who had begun vomiting excessively. Rymus asked her: "Are you okay?" But Lina was crying while vomiting out of grief for Arius, who had died before her eyes. She raised her face toward him and said with a broken voice: "My brother is dead, O Rymus! He died before my eyes in a gruesome way. I couldn't even speak to him or apologize to him for what happened. I truly don't know how I will live now."
Rymus said: "I know how you feel, but Arius paid the price for his mistakes. It seems he had a problem with that person named the Black Eye."
Lina began to scream, collapsing in tears. Afterward, she lost consciousness, prompting Rymus to carry her and say with a stern face: "Let's return to our world, Wang and Mythos."
Mythos replied: "Take it easy, man. You are really angry."
Rymus looked at him sharply and remained silent. Then Rymus stepped forward and said: "It is better that we return, for Lina is not well."
Indeed, Wang transported them from the place with high speed.
Hours passed, and during those moments, the Black Eye was inside a tree trunk while rain poured heavily around him. He turned on his communication device, and Isola appeared to him.
He said: "I have completed the mission and will return soon."
Isola told him: "Well done, you are as capable as ever. Be careful, their forces are everywhere."
He told her: "Don't worry about me; the matter of getting out is quite simple. I will try to return as quickly as possible."
She said: "As you wish."
Afterward, he closed the line, looked at the opening, and flew away at an imaginative speed, almost invisible. While he was flying through the cold space, he noticed Karma's forces—numbering in the millions—scattered across the cosmos. He flew right past them without them noticing, because his speed surpassed their capacity to comprehend, and no one saw him.
He flew vast distances across the universes until he reached the edge of the world he was in, discovering that a non-physical wall was sealing off the boundaries of the world. He looked around, then narrowed his eyes as he hovered in place.
In the first world, Clariss woke up completely restrained, looking around to find Nahira sitting beside the fireplace and window, eating oranges and drinking a little ginger juice while watching the rain outside.
Clariss screamed, saying: "Why am I tied up like this?"
Nahira said with absolute coldness: "So you won't freak out and destroy everything."
Clariss said: "Let me go! I must go and meet my husband, Arius; he must be waiting for me somewhere!" She said this with a collapsed expression.
Nahira looked at her and said: "Stop lying to yourself. You saw what happened."
Clariss looked at her and said: "No, this isn't true! Arius must have arranged all of this; I know him!"
Nahira laughed and said: "My dear sister, I truly pity you. It's a good thing I never believed in love; it's a disgusting and nauseating matter. But tell me, how do you feel now that the last thing you were hoping would bring you happiness has vanished?"
Clariss said with crazed eyes: "I will find him! I will find that person and kill him, then I will go and find my husband Arius, and we will stay together forever, yes, yes!"
Nahira said: "I will untie you when you come to your senses and forget what happened now. Stay as you are for a few days until you feel better. For now, I will leave you for a little while."
Afterward, the Black Eye managed to transition from behind the wall to the outside, flying at high speed and bypassing everything in front of him. After a relatively long period, he reached the dividing wall between World Zero and the rest of the worlds.
Here he stopped, watching the guards at this place as usual. He said to himself: "Their numbers have increased."
After a brief battle, he managed to crush everyone he found there, stepped out toward the world wall, and broke the barrier that was restricting it. Then he opened the gateway to pass through, carving his path toward World Zero.
Several days passed, and he finally arrived back at the fortified castle. The one waiting for him on tenterhooks was Isola.
The Black Eye descended from the sky onto the castle roof, and Isola smiled, saying: "I really missed you."
He looked at her and said: "Everything is completed as we agreed."
They both descended into the castle interior, and as they walked, they ran into the rest of the Shinshu members in the corridors. The Blue Eye greeted the Black Eye, shaking his hand and saying: "Good to have you back from the mission; I suppose it was difficult for you."
The Black Eye said: "Very," pronouncing it coldly.
Afterward, Isola said: "Well, since everyone is here, how about we go and have lunch together?"
The Yellow Eye said: "A good idea; we haven't done that in a while."
Isola looked at the Black Eye and said: "What do you think?"
He looked at her and said with his usual calmness: "No problem, a good idea as well."
She said: That's wonderful, let's all go then.
