Chapter 9 - Coffee shop

Suddenly, the scene shifts, and we see Ur, who has caused immense destruction there. Ur looks toward the sky and says, "The work here is finished; let's move on."

​Just as he begins to leave, we see Charlotte sitting in a nearby coffee shop, drinking coffee. Ur spots her and freezes for a moment. Then, he suddenly attacks Charlotte, completely destroying the coffee shop. As the area fills with thick smoke, Charlotte emerges from the haze.

​Stunned, Ur says, "This is impossible. No one has ever escaped from the Hell Gate before. So, Charlotte, how did you get out?"

​Charlotte replies, "Ur, you should have realised this before you chose to participate in the Creator War." She then adds, "Today, I will show you what true Hell looks like."

​Ur is paralysed with shock; he cannot even move. Charlotte grabs him by the head and begins dragging him away, saying, "This is Hell." Suddenly, the entire surroundings transform into a hellish landscape. Ur finds himself walking over human skulls. His eyes widen in horror as he tries desperately to move, but he remains frozen. The entire place is carpeted with human remains.

​Charlotte flings him away. Ur tries to stand up, but the human skulls reach out and grab him. Terrified by the sight of the skulls, Ur lets out a scream so piercing that it echoes through the void. On the other side, Charlotte whispers, "Holy Water." As soon as a pot of holy water hits the skulls, they begin to writhe in agony. Charlotte turns around to see the human skeletons pinning Ur down, and she begins to smile.

​The scene shifts again.

​We now see Destiny, Indra, and Nex. Their car comes to a halt near a mountain. As they step out, Indra remarks, "There's nothing here."

​Destiny replies, "There's nothing on this mountain except for the stairs leading up to the shrine."

​"That is exactly where we need to go," Nex says.

​Destiny asks, "Do we really have to climb this entire mountain?"

​"Yes," Nex confirms. The three of them begin their ascent. We see the time in their car is 4:00 AM. However, the moment they step onto the first stair, the environment instantly turns into night.

​Destiny asks in confusion, "What just happened?"

Indra adds, "This place is massive. Has someone used illusion magic here?"

​Nex dismisses the concern: "Forget that for now; first, arrange some light." They perform light magic, conjuring a floating lantern. Suddenly, the three of them teleport directly to the shrine. There, they see a man sitting on the roof. He is wearing a mask that covers only half of his face—the masked side appears to be smiling, while the visible half of his face looks deathly serious. As the man looks down at the three of them...

The seriousness remained on the rest of his face, and then that man looked at the three of them and said, "Do you know? Humanity is just one thing. We shouldn't trust anyone, no matter how close they are to us. Humanity is just a deception. Religion was only created to control humans so that they stay within their limits, so they don't mistake themselves for God. People only search for God in stone idols, but they don't realise that He is even greater than God."

Then Destiny asks: "What do you mean?"

Then that man says: "Exactly what I said. Your gods have been dead for a long time; it was they who killed them."

Now we see Charlotte and Ur-Sir. Ur-Sir's head was missing, and the rest of his skeletal body was being held by someone; there were many arrows stuck in his body.

And now we see Ur-Sir's head, which was in holy water. His head was completely burnt. Just then, we see Charlotte, who says that a God War is coming. These people have come to resurrect him—the one who has the power to kill the Creators.
