While enduring the pain that he still felt all over his body. Aji kept running regardless of how far he had run. 

"Damn.... the fat man is still chasing!" muttered Aji. 

A few meters away Aji was still trying to run, suddenly his ears heard a sound like a flour sack falling, Aji looked back slightly while still running. And when he managed to turn his head, he saw the bakery owner lying while squirming with one hand squeezing his chest. 

"Please...." The bakery owner moaned. 

Aji paused for a while. From 20 meters away, he watched the bakery owner in pain. 

"Please...." 

Aji was still silent in place. In his heart he wanted to help the owner of the bakery. However, seeing the gun that was still held tightly by the bakery owner made Aji discourage his intention and ran again. Now he doesn't want to care if the bakery owner dies. All he thought about for now was that he wanted to enjoy this brown bread before the hooligans managed to chase him and kill him. 

A few minutes of running, Aji came to a dead end alley. There he hid among a mountain of garbage. Among the pile of garbage, Aji adjusted his shortness of breath. After his breathing stabilized enough, Aji looked at the bread he was holding tightly in his arms. The shape of the bread is no longer good. But the aroma is still the same.

"I'll eat you, after that, I don't care if I have to die after this!" said Aji softly.

With trembling hands, Aji then took out the bread. Aji's smile was etched happily when he saw the bread torn by his hand. He who used to take food from the trash can, felt an extraordinary sensation when holding a piece of bread. 

He put a piece of bread in his foul-smelling mouth. And when his tongue touched the brown bread, Aji immediately felt a great delicious sensation. Such a luxurious wheat taste on his tongue. Followed by the taste of milk and the taste of chocolate that he had never known what it tasted like. But when the two tastes touched his tongue, he knew what taste was on his tongue. 

Aji couldn't say anything. All the amazing sensations he felt for the first time made him mute. Until the last mouthful that was so special, he heard that the gang of hooligans who chased him had reached the alley. But Aji didn't care anymore. Even if he was caught and beaten to death, he didn't care. What he cares about for now is to enjoy the last bite of brown bread that feels even more delicious.

"Hey, damn it!" 

A beam directly floated towards Aji's head with a bang. Made blood flow directly from Aji's head. Aji didn't scream or complain. He was still chewing his last bread. Even when his body began to be brutally beaten, he didn't care either. The last taste of chocolate on his tongue seemed to make him unable to taste anything else. 

"You should just die!" 

One of the delinquents carrying a knife was about to stab Aji. But before the knife pierced Aji's stomach, a strange voice suddenly sounded from the direction of the sky. His voice was quite loud and echoed. Like the sound of a cruise ship horn. But his voice sounded more sinister and very loud.

Suddenly everyone who heard the sound instantly became quiet. The thugs who beat Aji to death were no exception. 

"What's that sound?" 

"I don't know, the voice comes from the sky."

"Is there a spaceship coming to attack the earth?!"

"You're crazy! Where is there such a thing!"

NGOOONNGGGGG...... DDMMMMM......

The terrible voice reappeared. Now almost everyone fills the street to look towards the sky. They were curious about the deafening sound. But even though they had already set their eyes on the sky, there was nothing strange in the sky. The sky is still the same as usual. It is bright blue with floating clouds. 

One by one people began to speculate on their own. Some think that it is just a natural phenomenon. Some suspect that it is the sound of the mountain. And there are also those who think that there is a plane that has an accident and explodes in the sky. 

NGOOOONGGG..... DDMMMM

For the third time, the voice echoed again. People are still curious about the mysterious voice. And shortly after the third voice appeared. The color of the sky suddenly changed, from bright blue to dark gray. And shortly after the color of the sky changed. Hexagon pieces appeared that filled the sky like a puzzel. 

"What is that?"

"What is the new technology of the government?" 

No one knows for sure what objects are in the sky with the shape of the hexagon. Until finally, a few seconds after the pieces of the hexagon appeared and docked with each other. A face appeared that looked like a monster face. Everyone was shocked to see the appearance of that creepy face.

"W-what is that?!"

Everyone became excited. Aji, who looked at the sky with his eyes only a few millimeters open, was equally surprised.

"Good news for all planets orbiting the third star. Ragnarok is back on the start. After centuries this great event was stopped. We, the leaders of the Milky Way galaxy, decided to re-hold it. To determine which planets deserve to stay in this galaxy. And a planet that deserves to be destroyed."

The murmuring voices of the people watching the monster speak made the atmosphere noisy. Various speculations they reveal.

"Just like the old rules, each planet can send at least 3 fighters and a maximum of 10 fighters. But we recommend sending 10 fighters so that your victory can be more guaranteed."

"In the first round of Ragnarok for the third star region. The three planets that have the lowest winning value. It will be destroyed after the first round of Ragnarok ends."

"We will send an implementation team to help you prepare 10 fighters. And explain in detail the rules. Planets that get this message are required to participate in battle. Do not send 3 fighters or less than the specified number of fighters. It will be considered defeated and will be destroyed after the first round of Ragnarok is over." 

"The time we give you to prepare fighters, is 60 days. Make sure you work well together for your own safety. Because we will not hesitate to eliminate the renegade planet."

After talking at length and explaining everything. The monster's face was lost from the sky. And along with the disappearance of the monster's face. The sky returned to normal.

The atmosphere in every corner of the city that had been quiet as long as the monster spoke. Now it's noisy again. Many of them are asking the meaning of the appearance of monster faces in the sky. Some of them, think that this is just a show from the government with the latest technology. They thought, there could be no extraterrestrials there. Even if there were, there would be no way they could speak human language.

Others believe that the sightings in the sky are real. Not a show or a falsehood. Because there is no way the government has sophisticated tools that can make the sky become like a very large monitor.

In the middle, believe it or not, people with the appearance of monster faces appearing in the sky. Aji smiled from ear to ear. As if there was a sense of satisfaction in the corner of his heart.

"Just destroy this damned planet. This planet, is no different from a rat cage filled with several cats. There is, only slaughter and misery!"

And the woman's voice, exactly the same as the voice that echoed called Aji's name. Aji immediately crawled into the room.

The room with an area of 6x6 square meters looks so clean and tidy. Aji, who had never seen such a neat and clean room, became so amazed."This place, it's great. Is this like a rich patient room?

    Martin looked at the light bracelet on his left wrist. The bracelet looked unremarkable. There is nothing unusual after he uses it. "So, until Ragnarok is over, I can't give this bracelet to anyone else?" asked Martin starting to feel anxious. "No. And in addition to being a symbol of courage. The bracelet is also an affirmation, that registered fighters, are required to fight to the end. Otherwise, the bracelet will blow itself up. And during the 4 times Ragnarok was held, 23 fighters tried to escape from the fight. Those who run away, are not the weak. They are also very powerful.

    "Hey! Wake up!" a huge and terrible voice echoed and deafened Aji's ears. Aji, who was sleeping, woke up instantly."Yes, sir, Remon," said Aji, who had not fully awakened. His eyes were still half open. And when his eyes were wide open. Aji was taken aback. In a panic, he turned his head right to left."Where is this?" asked Aji as he looked at his surroundings darkening.Aji got up. He was still looking around him. There was nothing he could see but darkness. But he can still see himself. "Where is this?" said Aji, still panicked. "You're in the boundary realm," the voice that had made Aji wake up, came back and answered Aji's question. When the voice sounded again, Aji immediately turned his head to his right side. Aji felt, the voice came from that direction. However, as long as his eyes squinted to look that way, Aji saw nothing. All seemed to be swallowed by the thick darkness."Who is there?" asked Aji trying to fight his panic and fear. Observed from his voice, Aji felt

    "Good morning," Cecilia said while giving Aji a warm smile. Aji turned to look at Cecilia with a straight look. Whether it was a dream or something beyond reason that Aji had difficulty understanding, it was still clearly remembered in Aji's mind. About Scotd's order to kill Cecilia. So when he saw Cecilia, Aji immediately felt tense. "How did you sleep? Is it good enough?" asked Cecilia because Aji was just silent and still looking at her without blinking. Aji woke up from the reverie. "Yes. I slept pretty well," Aji replied. Cecilia smiled. Shortly afterwards a doctor and a nurse came. They were about to check Cecilia's condition. "Who is he, Miss Cecilia? Why is he in your room?" asked the doctor with a look of astonishment. Actually, there is no problem if there is a family visiting or waiting for patients overnight.

    4 Days passed. Aji's health has fully recovered. The same goes for Aira. She has recovered. However, both of her hands have not been able to function again. Of course, Aira's hands were not damaged or injured. Both hands can be said to be healthy. However, her hands have no shadow. That's why Aira's hands didn't work. And because of this, the medical staff who treated Aira, came to Aji two days earlier. They wanted Aji to restore Aira's hands to function again.But when the medics asked Aji, Skotd was weak and could not be questioned. Because only Skotd knew the technique. And most likely, only Skotd can help. So right when Aji was fully recovered, she immediately went to where Aira was."Skotd, please restore both of Aira's hands. She can't compete if both hands aren't working," Aji pleaded through the Boundary room."I just woke up and you're asking for something impossible. Have you lost your mind?" Skotd replied lazily. Hearing that, Aji was a little surprised. But he still thoug

    Venus stood in front of Aji's recovery room. She wanted to go in but she was hesitant. For some reason she felt that her intention would disturb Aji. "Will it be another time? He and I aren't that close anyway. Why would I visit him?" Venus muttered.With that in mind, Venus was about to leave. But she had not gone far. The door to the recovery room opened. Suddenly Venus turned her head in that direction. She thought it was the doctor on duty. So she wanted to ask the doctor to find out Aji's condition. But Venus was quite surprised because it was not a doctor she found. Instead, it was a woman with a beautiful and gentle face. "Who is she?" muttered Venus.The woman, who was Cecilia, looked at Venus as well. She recognized Venus quite well. Because she had seen Venus in battle several times. "Do you have anything to do with Aji?" asked Cecilia. She became so defensive when she saw Venus. Because Venus would be Aji's opponent in the final round. "Not really. I actually want to vi

    Aji opened her eyes. Her breathing felt heavy. So was her body. He could not move his body at all. Even moving his fingers was difficult. "Where is this? Why do I feel so weak?" complained Aji. "You're being treated," replied someone whose voice he recognized.Aji looked to his left. And he saw Cecilia sitting there alone."Ceci-stop your trickery! I can no longer lie to you!" Aji snapped at Cecilia. He suspected that Cecilia's figure was Queen Nebula who was changing her form to look like Cecilia. So that she can deceive and do inappropriate things.Cecilia put on a confused face. She did not understand why Aji suddenly snapped at her."What's wrong with you?" asked Cecilia with a confused look on her face. "No need to pretend! I'll say it again! I won't be fooled a second time! My feelings! My love! Only for Cecilia! You can't force me to love you! Your love is just a fake anyway! You just want to make me your puppet!"

    Aira was quite panicked. But she quickly calmed herself down so she wouldn't get carried away. Because if that happened, she would be easier to defeat. Aira tried to move her left hand. But her left hand was completely immobilized. "What did he just do?" Aira kept her guard up. She didn't want to miss again. "From above!" Skotd's voice rang out again.Aira looked up. She actually saw Skotd plunge from above. But strangely, the gamma rays she emitted could not capture Skotd's movements. It wasn't until Skotd made a sound that Aira knew Skotd's position. In slow motion. Aira felt that Skotd was trying to play a trick on her. "He really underestimated me! I'll make him disappointed!" Aira determined.Within reach, the two clashed swords. With her great strength, Aira swung her sword hard. "Die!" cried Aira.But when the two swords met, they didn't hit each other. Skotd's sword pierced through Aira's sword instead. With her eyes, Aira could see how Skotd's sword penetrated hers. An

    Aji was breathing heavily. The only ability she could rely on was her shadow shield. However, even though he had used one of his defense techniques. Still, Aira could still attack. Because the impact of Aira's attack was much greater than before. Even Aji still had to dodge to reduce the direct impact of Aira's attack."She's really perfect. She has incredible strength and speed. Moreover, she has very troublesome eyes. No matter what she shoots, if those eyes are active it's impossible to miss," Aji thought. "You're right. And with this ability, she excels in one-on-one combat," said Skotd. "Do you have any other ideas?" Aji asked. Skotd frowned. "Why do you always ask me for ideas? Look, my contribution is already huge. You've consumed at least 3 percent of my power. Use that brain of yours to think," Skotd said. "I still can't read. How can I read a situation like this? Besides, you have more experience than me. So help me!" Aji exclaimed.Skotd chuckled in annoyance."You are

    Aira continued to shoot at Aji relentlessly. It was as if the bullets Aira fired were endless. Aji, who was struggling, could only hold on and make sure his body wasn't pushed further back. "It's not funny if I lose because of an attack like this!" Aji thought.Aji immediately looked for a way out. He didn't want to be Aira's bullshit. But after Aji thought for a while he couldn't find a way out. Many of the shadow techniques he mastered were ineffective against Aira. "The only way to beat her is with speed. You need to be one level ahead of Aira's bullet speed," Skotd said. "Well, that's easy enough to say but impossible to do! There's no way I can increase my speed in such a short time, right?" retorted Aji."That's true. But there is a way," said Skotd. Aji furrowed her brow. She wondered how to increase her speed in a short period of time."How?""Swapping body parts," Skotd replied. Aji was increasingly unable to understand Skotd's too-brief explanation."Tell me clearly.

    The second battle was about to begin. Aji and Aira faced each other in the Arena. Aira's face was serious from the moment she stepped onto the arena stage. And the aura she exuded was gripping. It was as if the aura showed how serious Aira was about toppling Aji. "Don't you want to wear head protection first? I'm worried my bullets might kill you," Aira said. "Take it easy. My head is hard enough," Aji replied.Aira smiled at Aji's answer. She felt challenged enough to silence his words. "The second battle of the quarterfinals will begin! Fighters! Get ready!" said Ai.Instantly Aji and Aira both put up a ready position. Both of them realized when Ai gave permission to start the fight. So at that moment the battle of life and death began."FIGHT!!!" In less than half a second after the signal was called. Aji immediately made a circle of shadows. At the same time, Aira fired a single bullet at Aji's head. Aira's shot was fast and precise. Aji realized that Aira immediately attacke

    Hard choice! Between Love and Friends!

    Seeing the queen of Nebula who still hadn't come out of the recovery room occupied by Venus. Aji decided to visit Rozch. Although he and Rozch have never talked to each other because both of them are quiet and passive. But as fellow warriors trying to protect their respective planets. Aji felt an obligation to visit Rozch. "I'll see Rozch first," Aji said to Aira.Aira, who was standing while leaning lazily on a support pole, straightened up. "I'm coming," Aira said. Aji was a little surprised. He did not know why Aira was so different from usual. Even though Aira's figure that Aji knew, had the same character as Rozch or herself. A quiet figure and always wants to move alone. But seeing Aira's attitude now, made Aji suspicious. Aji suspected Aira would do something. So Aji deliberately installed the Circle of Shadows to protect herself if Aira suddenly attacked. And what Aji did, Aira realized. So Aira spoke up about what Aji was doing."I'm not the type of person who likes to ch

    After the Battle of Venus and Rozch

    The battle between Rozch and Venus was a big hit. Many people were talking about the great battle. Even all the planets in the third star's orbit were talking about the fierce battle. And on earth, the atmosphere was so tense when the battle between Venus and Rozch began. Most of them became scared as soon as they saw the strength of Rozch and Venus. Although in the previous rounds there had been several tense battles. But the battle between Rozch and Venus was a new experience. Seeing that battle made them feel the war that happened 50 years ago. "If one of those creatures attacks Earth, are we ready to fight it?" said Antonio. He really didn't expect Venus' power to be so terrifying. Even when he saw the explosion at the end of Venus and Rozch's fight, Antonio was so scared that he couldn't breathe. He admitted that he still felt the fear of the nuclear war 50 years ago. Although he himself did not experience the war firsthand. But just by looking at the video evidence. Antonio ca
