    Mri breathed heavily, his aura flickering as the Monstrous Tiger finally collapsed. The battle had been brutal, and his body was covered in wounds.


    > "We did it…" Sanji whispered.


    The others sighed in relief—but suddenly, Jasmine gasped.


    > "Wait! Where''s Roy?"


    They turned—Shahid was gone.

    Then, from the shadows, a slow clap echoed.


    A familiar figure stepped forward.


    > "Finally, you defeated the tiger. Took you long enough, Mri."


    Roy.


    But something was wrong. His eyes were glowing red.


    > "Roy… what happened to you?" Mri asked, stepping forward cautiously.


    Roy smirked.


    > "I''ve seen the truth, Mri. And I''ve chosen the winning side."


    > "Winning side?!" Sanji snapped. "What the hell are you talking about?"


    Roy held up his hand—a red sigil burned into his palm.


    > "The beasts aren''t just mindless creatures. They were created… to reclaim the world."


    His eyes darkened.


    > "Professor Luwanto… was never the villain."


    The team staggered in shock.


    > "Roy, you''re talking nonsense! What did they do to you?!" Tanuja shouted.


    Roy''s smirk widened.


    > "I''ve seen what''s coming. And if you stand against the Monstrous ...…


    > "You will die."


    Then—a sudden explosion of red energy.


    Roy vanished.


    And Mri''s team was left with more questions than answers.
