Mysterious Deity

The excitement in the crowd reached a fever pitch as they eagerly anticipated the outcome of the next match. This particular bout featured Menma and Nabe, and prior to the fight, we found Menma in the hallway, diligently preparing himself. Suddenly, a mysterious hooded figure materialized with a gust of wind, introducing himself as the God of Wind before vanishing.

The scene transitioned to Nabe, who witnessed the same enigmatic arrival as the match was about to commence. She casually remarked to Menma, "Nice try," and Menma, unflinching, retorted with a challenge meant to intimidate him.

As the announcer initiated the countdown, "Three, two, and one," the surroundings took on a green hue. The hooded figure descended, a source of astonishment for the mysterious deity and Sun Wukong. Knight recognized the newcomer, while Ichimaru remained unimpressed. The hooded figure declared himself a new god and asserted that none of the generals would surpass their current ranks.

The confrontation escalated as Nabe and Menma found themselves pushed against the coliseum walls. The impact incapacitated Nabe, but shockingly, Menma regained consciousness. In this pivotal moment, just as he was on the brink of evolution, Menma pondered the recurring theme of death surrounding him and others. This introspection ignited a passionate transformation within him.

Menma's skin took on a purple hue, and horns sprouted from his head. The hooded figure questioned if Menma was still awake, to which Menma broke free and replied with unwavering determination, "Yes, and I'm going to beat you."
