CHAPTER 12

EPISODE 1

ARC — THE FINAL COLLISION

WYUNG SHING & KANOJI — Last Stand

The battlefield was silent. Ash drifted like black snow. Shadows of the mountains loomed, twisted and broken.

Wyung Shing's chest heaved. His aura flickered, weak—but he stood, facing Kanoji. The Devil Gibble Beast.

"You… don't understand," Wyung Shing whispered, blood streaming down his face. "Even if the world burns… even if we die… I won't let this pain be wasted."

Kanoji's eyes burned crimson, chains of the Devil Void coiling around him, alive. "Wyung Shing… I saved you. But this… this world… it's mine to judge."

They collided.

The ground cracked, devils surged, shadows screamed. Wyung Shing unleashed his final power—ghostly wings of shattered light, spectral claws tearing through the air.

Kanoji met him head-on. Fire and darkness clashed, reality warping. Mountains shattered. Rivers boiled.

"Stop holding back, Kanoji!" Wyung Shing roared. "If humans are useless… if love can't reach them… then we end it together!"

Kanoji hesitated for a fraction of a second. That was enough. Wyung Shing pushed forward, striking with all his strength.

But Kanoji's Devil Gibble power was absolute. The crimson chains reacted, restraining Wyung Shing mid-attack.

Wyung Shing gasped, eyes wide. "No… this… can't be…"

With one final strike, Kanoji's energy pierced through the battlefield. The air itself tore. Wyung Shing's body was thrown back, screaming. The spectral wings crumbled.

He landed in the scorched earth, barely moving. Blood poured. The light around him dimmed.

Kanoji fell to his knees, tears mixing with blood. "Wyung Shing… I didn't… I never wanted this."

Wyung Shing coughed. A weak smile formed. "Then… remember… even monsters… can love…"

The shadow faded. The world seemed to sigh.

Kanoji screamed, fury and grief exploding. Devils wailed. Chains snapped. Red fire and shadows consumed the battlefield.

He fell on his knees, clutching the ground. The one he saved… gone.

Silence remained. Ash drifted. The Devil Gibble Beast looked at the empty horizon.

"Wyung Shing…" he whispered. "I'm… so sorry."

A single feather floated down, blackened and charred. Kanoji reached for it. His hands shook.

The world had survived. But he had lost everything he loved.

The Void pulsed. The chains of power hovered. The Devil Gibble Beast had won… but at the cost of his only human connection.
