"What's wrong with being called Divine Ruler?"
"It sounds like a name a narcissistic tyrant would give himself."
Neo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He had used the title to find Jack.

Emma was about to return to the city when she sensed monsters approaching them.
"It's Anomaly #79," Neo muttered.
He left to take care of the monsters.
Emma was frozen stiff.
She doubted her ears.
"Anomaly #79...?"
A few minutes later, Neo was fighting monsters when Apollo rushed out of the city.
He looked like a star flying in the night sky, his body wrapped in golden light.
Before Apollo could join Neo, a giant wall of darkness erupted from Emma and stopped Apollo.
Apollo frowned.
"What are you doing?"
He landed next to her.
"Why did you stop me? We—"
"Neo Hargraves is fighting Anomaly #79."
"…!?"
