Chapter 3: Journey to Hell

Chapter 3: Journey to Hell After three years of training, Emily and Alex embark on their revolution against the rule of the universe Black. Before they set off, Jacob says, "I will not say goodbye, but the memory will remain the hope of meeting and the promise of an endless prayer and a renewed love. You are the heartbeats." Emily and Alex embark on a journey to the City of Tears, where they confront the leader of this region, nicknamed "7", who somewhat resembles "Darkseid". At the beginning of the battle, "7" is in the forefront accompanied by an army of war robots, and he says sarcastically, "Whatever you want, whoever points to his home will return to it." These words reflect his inner struggle, as he knows that he will fail, but he still uses this sarcasm to hide the pain of loss. "7" says to himself: "We hide the pain of loss with laughter. It is a loss to pass through the surface of the earth and not change anything and leave no trace. It is okay to lose, I used to say that a person who loses ends all his threats with loss, and he becomes strong. The most important thing is that I lived my life trying to be good, I may have been a hard-hearted bastard at one time, but I did not betray the promise and the covenant, and I did not betray the trust of my leader Black, even if he gave me scrap as an army." Alex says: "The whirlwinds of revolution will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the sun of the day of justice rises." Alex starts the battle with the sword of justice, she cuts one of the robots, which explodes and retreats. At the same time, Emily shoots arrows from her bow to destroy all the scrap robots. "7" says: "Those who advance with the greatest momentum first retreat the fastest." While there is a gap in the defense, "7" rushes to break the sword, then grabs Alex and throws it to destroy an entire building. Emily shoots the arrows at "7", but the thickness of his strong skin makes them ineffective. 7 shoots lasers from his eyes, then blue fire from his mouth, but these attacks are blocked by a magical shield. Emily says, "The shield is an iron shirt, a war garment, protecting a warrior from swords." 7 then pulls out mysterious needles, injects himself with them, and explodes. Before exploding, he says, "There is no sacrifice without pain. If you feel pain, you are alive." 7 explodes and destroys the magical shield, severely injuring Alex and Emily, who will never be able to fight again due to these injuries. End of Chapter 3
