"Jar"Golen." Lord Wrath whispers his name, barely hiding his fear. The demon Orana has seen the Jar"Golen"s return. Lord Wrath has been worried since that time. Later, he received a message from Dabria, Jar"Golen"s only living child, that Jar"Golen is hiding inside this girl"s soul. He is planning to kill Lord Wrath."My dear father." Fang Aisa grins widely, showing her white teeth. Her eyes turn red like Lord Wrath. She is bleeding from the bites of the snakes, but she doesn"t show any pain. Rather, the demon inside her is enjoying this pain. "It"s been a long time."
"Don"t call me that." Lord Wrath sneers at him. "You killed your own brothers and sisters. You ate your own blood. Now, you want to do the same to me."
She licks her lips. "If you had stepped aside when I asked politely, that wouldn"t have happened."
"You!!!" Lord Wrath has decided. "You will go where you belong."
"The unbreakable prison?" Fang Aisa pretends to be surprised. "The same old tactic? Ah, Lord Wrath, you should be creative. I thought that you would eat my core and become powerful. You could even defeat other lords and become one ruler of h.e.l.l."
"Shut up." Lord Treachery shouts in anger. "We don"t eat our own."
"Humans are better than us." Fang Aisa"s lips curl upward. "Some of them eat other humans. Predators are always predators."
"Don"t compare us with them." Lord Violence nearly loses it. "Your place is at the Unbreakable Prison. Others will finally know what happens to the one who becomes like you."
Fang Aisa ignores him and looks up at the shattering sky. Her eyes become bright when she sees the dimension separators breaking into smithereens. The blank s.p.a.ce between the circles has been destroyed. All the circles are merging into one. The contestants are randomly appearing at different places. The demons are baffled and scared. A puzzled expression appears on the faces of the lords.
"Something that can break h.e.l.l itself....," Fang Aisa murmurs to herself. "It must be the weapon of a G.o.d."
"What did you say?" Lord Wrath asks in horror. "A G.o.d is in h.e.l.l?"
Incoming of G.o.ds is never a piece of good news for the lords.
"I wonder." Jor"Golen is waiting. Whoever it is, that person can help him get out of this situation.

"That person is here." Min Ho has a faraway look in his eyes. He just felt the same presence that he felt when he entered the domain of greed. That man who called his name...he is here.
"Who?" Orana asks curiously. Then, she hears a loud ear-shattering sound. The inter-dimension walls are breaking down. This is horrible. It will bring chaos.
"Never mind." Min Ho shakes his head. "By the way, can you see my future?"
"h.e.l.l is breaking and you are worried about your future?" Orana yells. Her heart is panicking.
"I am looking for someone, Pretty Noona." Min Ho looks at her with his big round s.h.i.+ny eyes. Orana, the chatty oracle demon, melts when she hears him calling her pretty. She finds it hard to resist them.
"Okay." She temporarily forgets about the shattering h.e.l.l and chaos. She bends down a bit and holds his shoulders. "I will look into your future."
Orana looks into his eyes. Her eyes turn white, looking something at the distant. Min Ho delves into her mind to see the visions of the future.
He sees himself standing at the roof. The sky is bleeding red. A female ghost is standing in front of him. Her hair is long and brown. She is looking back at him sadly, but she doesn"t acknowledge him. The rays of the sun dance around her, making her s.h.i.+ne like an angel. The edges of her white dress flutters with the wind. It seems that the wind is her friend.
He is back in h.e.l.l. He sees his brother standing in front of him. His brother smiles at him sadly. He is crying.
Min Ho takes a deep breath as he pulls himself out of Orana"s head.
"Why?" Orana rubs her eyes. "There is more. Your life will be interesting."
"I just wanted to know where my brother is." Min Ho knows how risky it is to know the future. "Thank you, Pretty Noona."
"Your brother is paying for his sins in the purgatory." Orana looks at him with interest. "His time is going to be over soon. He will reincarnate in one of the new worlds. He won"t remember anything about his past life."
""Is that so?" Min Ho decides that it is time to distract this Noona away. "By the way, why is the sky breaking?"
"Oh no!"

Sung Jun runs as fast as he can. He can feel Fang Aisa coming closer to her. The circles are merging together. The demons are running everywhere in fear. He cuts everything that comes in his way with the scythe. Soon, he can see the figure of Fang Aisa, wrapped with the snake demons sucking her soul energy.
He doesn"t see or hear anything else. In a few moments, he lands in front of her within the circle.
"Fang Aisa..." His heart clenches when he sees her pale face. Her energy is diminis.h.i.+ng with time. Who could do this to her?
"Get out," Someone yells. "Hyung, don"t get close to her."
"Sung Jun," Fang Aisa cries his name in pain. "It hurts a lot."
He raises his scythe and chops those snakes into pieces. With another wave, he breaks the trapping circle. He bends down on his one knee and catches her before she falls to the ground.
"I am here. Nothing can hurt you now."
"Seventh scythe of death." Fang Aisa eyes the scythe wistfully. "Great-grandson in law, you are amazing."
What is she calling him? "Fang Aisa, hold on. We will get out of this place together."
"What have you done, human!" Lord Wrath hollers in anger. "You have wasted all our efforts."
"Dear Father," Fang Aisa is no longer pale or weak. She straightens her back. "We can finally play the last game."
She puts her head back and opens her mouth widely. Sung Jun notices the change in the aura around her. A shrill scream echoes in the wind. Fang Aisa"s body twists in an unnatural way when the dark smoke surges out of her body. Her bone cracks. Blood pours out of her eyes, nose, and the ears.
Sung Jun widens his eyes. "Demon."
