Above the now calm night sky, after the fierce battle had ended, Nia Hazel stood on the clouds, observing the world that had been spared from destruction. Her beautiful face was filled with relief, though her eyes radiated deep sadness for all the victims who had fallen. The long white dress she wore waved gently in the wind, exuding the graceful aura of a guardian.
Ryu, who stood below, did not notice Nia's presence. He just stood still amidst the ruins of the city, staring at the sky with mixed thoughts—relief for having defeated God, loss for Leo and all the people who had fallen, and a new sense of responsibility that he now bore.
Nia smiled slightly, though her eyes still radiated sadness. "Ryu," she said in a soft voice that he could not hear. "You have shown extraordinary courage. You have sacrificed everything to save this world."
She remembered her past—how she had once been a hero who protected the world from a great threat, how she had once felt that the burden of this world was too heavy to bear alone. But now, seeing Ryu who fought without giving up, she felt that there was new hope growing in this world.
“This world is so lucky to have someone like you,” Nia continued, her voice now shaking slightly. She raised her hand, emitting a warm light that enveloped Ryu’s body from a distance. The light gave Ryu a sense of calm and peace, though he didn’t know where it came from.
Down below, Ryu felt something strange—as if someone was watching him. But when he looked up, he saw only a night sky filled with stars. “What is this…?” he muttered softly, holding his warm chest.
Nia smiled again. “You don’t need to know that I’m here, Ryu. You just need to know that your struggle was not in vain. This world has changed because of your courage.”
But behind that calmness, Nia knew that other threats might still await in the future. This world was full of mysteries, and even though God had been defeated, another entity greater or even more dangerous could appear at any time.
“Ryu,” she said again, this time in a firmer tone. “Stay strong. You’ll need that strength to face what’s to come.”
She then closed her eyes, raising her hands toward the sky. A vast, pure energy flowed from her body, enveloping the world in a new protective power. "I will make sure this world has time to heal. I will maintain this balance, just as I have done before."
In the distance, Nia's figure slowly faded, blending into the bright moonlight. She knew her task was not yet complete, but for now, she wanted to give this world a moment of peace.
Below, Ryu, still standing in the ruins, suddenly remembered Nia's face. Although he did not know why, he felt like he was being guided by someone very important. In his heart, he felt certain that he was not alone.
"I must continue forward," he murmured, gripping his sword tightly. "This is not over yet, but I will not give up."
The night wind blew softly, bringing with it the scent of freshness and new hope. In the sky, the moon shone brightly, as if giving its blessing to Ryu and all the creatures that still survived.
And although Ryu did not know it, from another dimension, Nia Hazel continued to watch, ready to help if a new threat emerged. For now, he could only hope that this world could find its peace—even if only temporarily.
