“So, you met a masked man, fought him, thought you won, and then got poisoned by an arrow?” Ajesh asked Sanzang while they were outside a glasses store.


    “Yeah. His name was Saingan,” Sanzang answered.


    Thea got out of the store and put in her contacts.


    “You guys talking about that masked man?” She asked the two.


    “Yeah, how’d you know?” Sanzang answered.


    “Amane told me that Lysander fought that guy. Got sent 50 miles back by a fan. Both of them are gonna be coming over soon.”.


    Sanzang silently got excited, fist pumping the air. Ethan saw it and smiled.


    “Someone likes Amane!” he teased, glancing at Sanzang.


    “Is it Ajesh?” Kai asked, causing Ethan to look at him in confusion before shaking his head.


    “First things first, let’s get Sanzang cured. Somehow,” Thea said, walking out the store.


    “How do we do that, genius?” Ethan asked, annoyed. Akamu walked back from a hot dog stand with El laughing. El saw everyone watching and coughed, returning to his normal state.


    “I think I have an idea on how to figure out the way to cure Sanzang,” El told them.


    “Well tell us then!” Ajesh yelled, angered by El’s leniency. El’s left eye burned blue, and he muttered, “The Wise.”.


    As he said this he stood in place for a minute before waking up and his eye went back to normal. “Kai, guess what?” El asked, but Kai just shrugged. “You’ll be of use. Since you can heal, you could possibly heal Sanzang’s poisoning, and Ajesh can help, with Shiva being the master of poison and medicine.”. Ajesh and Kai nodded and put their hands out in front of Sanzang. As they began to use their Divine Soul, energy began to surround Sanzang.


    But as they were about to finish using their abilities, Chaos Soul surrounded him.


    Sanzang raised into the air, transforming into a large 15-foot-tall monster, with black and crimson claws, and large horns on his head. He had Red lifeless eyes and a dragon tail. He was in an overload state, with this form being made of pure Chaos Soul.


    Ethan took out a toothpick and manifested his staff, and Thea grabbed a sign and manifested her Spear of War.


    “SINCE WHEN COULD HE OVERLOAD?!” Ethan yelled, pulling out some hair and summoning clones to tell them to evacuate everyone nearby.


    The Overloaded Sanzang dashed towards El and punched him, sending him flying.


    Akamu kicked him in the head, sending him back, and Thea stabbed him in the gut.


    While the spear was in Sanzang, Thea used it to explode Divine Soul. Ethan thrusted his staff, extending it and hitting him in the chest, throwing Sanzang back.


    Ethan contracted the staff, bringing him to Sanzang. As they clashed, fist vs staff, Akamu brought back his leg.


    Thea looked at him and felt some energy gather. Akamu ran up to Sanzang and used his energy-charged kick, sending the monstrous Sanzang crashing into a building.


    Just as Sanzang got up and walked up Akamu Ajesh and Kai both palmed Sanzang, Kai with Multicolored Divine Soul and Ajesh with his Nasht.


    Sanzang got sent flying, and Ethan walked up to Kai. “What was that Divine Soul?”.


    “It was Dharma,” Kai replied. Sanzang was in the air but was still in his Overload.


    Ethan hopped on to his cloud that he summoned and flew up to Sanzang, thrusting his staff and extending it. Sanzang got hit and flew through the air. Sanzang landed in a random forest and Ethan followed to get him. He tried to find him but couldn’t.

    Ethan flew back to tell the others. “So…I lost Sanzang…” He told everyone.


    Ajesh’s eyes narrowed, and he charged up his Nasht, while Kai couldn’t stop laughing.


    Sanzang woke up, his shirt torn and pants ripped.


    “God…where am I? Shit, I left my phone at Akamu’s safehouse!” Sanzang yelled as he woke up.


    He walked away, limping. As he walked, he heard yelling. Sanzang didn’t understand what they were saying so he walked towards the sound. He saw people in cloaks talking loudly in a cave, and in the cave was some art of Varinzik.


    Or what he could understand was Varinzik fighting something and then putting his hand on the ground, creating land. “Hey! What’re y’all doing here?” Sanzang asked them.


    They all looked at Sanzang, and Sanzang noticed how different they were from each other.


    Different races and some monsters like humans were in the crowd. A man with grey eyes, an earring on his left ear and a black jacket with normal clothes walked up to Sanzang.


    “We are the followers of Varinzik. I am their leader and an immortal from the past world. I was one of the first humans from the Divine United World. My name is Sekutu,” the man explained.


    Sanzang looked around and chuckled to himself, trying to not tell them that he’s the Trinexus.


    “I know you''re the Trinexus. I met Varinzik when he was in his prime. I recognize the energy,” the man said, smirking. “His teachings were recorded on tablets, exactly how all world religions entered this new world. I learnt Yuddham from them, the root for all martial arts,” he told Sanzang.


    “Okay then. If he’s the next Trinexus, he needs to prove it. You and our leader should fight only using Yuddham,” a monstrous man said.


    Sanzang smirked and walked outside. “Come on! Will we fight or not?”. Sekutu followed him and they found a flat plain to fight him. They both went into a monster stance and pulled back a punch.


    They clashed and used their Chaos Soul imbued punches against each other and everything in the surrounding area was destroyed.


    They kept clashing punches, but then Sanzang dashed back and went into God Stance.


    He imbued Divine Soul into his leg and kicked Sekutu in the face. Sekutu got launched back, but his face looked unharmed.


    Sanzang looked confused, but he continued his assault, grabbing onto Sekutu’s arm and throwing him into the now destroyed forest.


    Sanzang grabbed a branch that was on the ground and manifested Gada.


    “Been a while since I’ve done this. Hopefully this goes better than last time!” he exclaimed, slamming Gada into Sekutu’s face, and causing a small cyclone that lifted the trees in the air.


    Gada disappeared, and everyone in the cave started clapping, exclaiming “???!”, “Προφ?τη?!’, “????????!” and “Prophet!”.


    Sanzang saw all this and yelled, “Woah woah! I’m no prophet! I can’t even drive yet!”.


    Sekutu got up and told him, “When they call you prophet, they’re saying you''re the one that’ll fulfill the prophecy.”.


    Sanzang looked at him and laughed, before saying, “What prophecy? I’ve never believed in that type of stuff.”.


    “On one end of this world there is a recollection of Varinzik’s war with the Gods, and on the other end, where we are now, is a mural of what will happen. A prophecy that a Trinexus will create the Honored Land, a place where people of all variations can live,” Sekutu told him.


    Sanzang looked at him confused and dismissed the idea. “I could never do that. I’m not ready. I barely know how this whole Soul System works, and you think I could create a land mass?”.


    Just then, Sanzang saw a thunderbolt strike the ground, and Jackosn emerged wielding Mjolnir.


    “I finally found these damn monsters!” Jackson yelled, walking up to Sekutu, about to strike with his hammer.


    Sanzang grabbed his arm, but Jackson threw him back.


    “There are monsters in this cult Sanzang! I’ve been trying to hunt them down for a while!”.


    “It’s not a cult, well it sort of is, but the monster-like people aren’t necessarily evil!” Sanzang yelled back.


    “Why do you want to defend them?” Jackson yelled. Sanzang narrowed his eyes and went into God Stance, his left eye turning red and right gold, his armor equipped itself. Sekutu’s eyes widened.


    “The Oppr?rer Armor?”.


    “Give up while you’re behind Sanzang. I’m stronger than you,” Jackson said, charging his hammer.


    Sanzang put his hands up, ready to block the hit.


    When Jackson hit, lightning struck Sanzang, but the hammer bounced off.


    Jackson looked in confusion yet tried again.


    And again.


    And again.


    Sanzang started to get tired of Jackson, so he kicked him in the chin, using Divine Soul and Divine Wind in harmony to send him flying.


    Jackson dashed to the ground, striking it with lightning. Sanzang ran through it and punched him. Jackson was about to swing his hammer, but Sanzang grabbed it and threw him into the air.


    “I’m going to go. Some people are looking for me,” Sanzang told them, using wind to levitate himself and flying away.
