is been three days after Dante's battle with the giant. and during those three days Dante had been been unconscious. On the third day Dante had finally woken up.
Dante: Oi! what happened I can't seem to remember.
Chronos: you were knocked out by the giant with just one attack.
Dante was shocked by what he heard almost shattering his pride.
Chronos: Now are you willing to let me teach you?
Dante looks down in shame and answers his master. Yes I will, he said.
Chronos: Since you are awake let me explain what Rin energy truly is but first what do you think about it?
Dante: I just think is the energy that exist in the multiverse from which every living organisms derives its power from. Also wasn't my father born from that energy?
Chronos: you are somehow right but your answer is wrong. Rin has been called by many names since the ages of myth. Magic, Aura, Ki and many more but the true name is Rin. This power existed even before the primordials and was what gave birth to them and was used to shape the entire multiverse. As you already know except from the gods who are conceptions and exist beyond space, time and reality other lower lifeforms such as humans, elves all exist in the cycle of reincarnation and borrow their power from the multiverse. But there is one thing most humans and even some of the gods don't know and that is Rin has a consciousness of its own.
Dante: what do you mean?
Chronos: once a living organisms is born, They already possess Rin. Rin is formed from the manifestation of one's life energy and exist as another life form within a person. the stronger your life energy is the stronger your Rin becomes and since Gods are immortal and formed from Conceptions....
Dante: Their Rin energy is nigh- infinite.
Chronos: that's right also there's something called Post- Death Awakening.That is when one dies their Rin energy does not completely disappear but rather it evolves and become much stronger thereby existing on its own. this is what brings about Ghosts. But there are conditions were one is able to overcome that and acheive a much higher level of strength. this is known as Rin Awakening. A state were one overcomes death and evolves their Rin.
Dante: but how can you acheive that?
Chronos: Is desire. the stronger ones desire to live the stronger the Rin will become upon dying. Afterall Rin is like a life form that acts according to the users will. If one is able to successfully master their Rin and make a deal with it, they are able to achieve Post- Death Awakening.
Dante: That sounds cool and all but dying to acheive this doesn't it sucks.
Chronos: Hahaha oh there is also something else one can do to make his Rin strong. That is sacrificing all your life energy in exchange for immense power.
On Earth
Sasuke's new found reason to fight increases his power allows him to fight Methupi but receiving severe damage.
Methupi: Are you mad or what? if you keep on attacking me like this you will die. Damnit it seems he's willing to die if that's the case why not kill him.
Sasuke Condenses a huge amount of Rin energy in his hands (similar to a Kamehameha pose) and launches it at Methupi. The attack deals a 30% damage to Methupi with the remaining 70% being going back to Sasuke almost killing him. With this Sasuke is battered and bleeding. Due to the immense blood lose, he collapses.
Rebecca tries telling the king to eliminate Sasuke but the King ignores her appeal. This is because the king's reason was that Sasuke hasn't given up yet and he sensed something was about to happen.
In Sasuke's mind(The last stage between life and death)
Sasuke saw the thing he had absorbed back at the Family Inventory. He had always taught it was a demon until this day. he had finally saw its true form. This was the spirit of Erlan Shen the warrior God.
Sasuke: you what are you?
Erlan: I'm the one who fought evenly with Sun Wukong, The one who cleaved a mountain into two with an axe, The one who killed countless demons and monsters I'm Elan Shen.
Sasuke: But I heard you died so how come you are still alive.
Erlan: As for that I can't tell you now until he arrives but all I can say is this. I choose you to be my vessel.
Sasuke: Become the vessel of a God and not just any God but the great Erlan Shen. I accept
Erlan: Huh aren't you scared I will take over your body or maybe kill everyone you love. Are you sure you want to be my vessel.
Sasuke: Yeah why not.
Erlan gives out a loud sigh out of frustration. I guess that is the reason why I chose you then he said. I shall bestow upon you my sigil. this will serve as a link between both our souls and tie us together. Also since you are on the verge of death you are experiencing Post- Death Awakening and combined with my power you will be much stronger.
Sasuke: Post- Death Awakening what is that?
you will find that out later he said as he places his sigil upon him and fuses with his soul. There was a huge flash of light at the Colosseum and from that light came an awakened Sasuke.
The entire Crowd were shocked at what they were witnessing including the King. Now this is what I was talking about, said the king.
Methupi: how are you still alive? you must be dead.
Sasuke: yeah you are right I should've died but somehow I survived and became something different. Something that far exceeds the realm of humans.
Methupi: I want to admit that he's wrong but that power flowing through him explains it all. He has awakened.
Methupi tries attacking Sasuke but he blocks all the attack without even looking at it.
Sasuke: Are you done with all that child play?
Methupi: he calls all that child play. All this time I thought I had the advantage but k guess I was always wrong. Those who are blessed by fate will always stand at the top.
Sasuke: Now then "Heavenly Punishment".
Sasuke send down a rain of lightening which ignores Methupi exchange ability and durability almost killing him.
Announcement: Participant Methupi and two more others have been eliminated.
Sasuke: If this has been taken care of shall I proceed then.
On the other side Erza was being severely manhandled by Harald who predicted all her moves. Harald tries telling Erza to give up fighting him to which Erza refuses.
Erza: I guess I have no choice then.
Harald: huh what do you mean. you should just give up jezz.
Erza focuses a huge amount of energy into her Azure sword and launches a very huge destructive attack which In normal means could destroy the entire Colosseum but due to the barrier surrounding the entire Colosseum which limits the destructive power of all attacks, the attack potency of Erza's attack was greatly reduced. After the smoke had left the field, Harald was seen standing having taken zero damage.
Harald: oops if I hadn't seen that coming I would be dead meat by now. man am so luc...
Erza appears in front of Harald and tries hitting him but he blocks the attack and looks at Erza with a cold and murderous intent.
Harald: Hey you should just give up.
Erza: oh really! I guess what they said is true.so much arrongance can lead to defeat.
Harald: huh
Before He should react he's stabbed in the back by another Erza.
Harald: How is that possible. There is two of you.
Erza: well when I was charging my attack I used one of my spirit keys to open the realm of the Spirit of mischief. With his ability I was able to successfully clone myself by using the smoke from the attack and execute my final plan.
Harald: so you had this all planned along huh.
Erza: To be honest no. seeing how broken your power was I had to extend the battle a bit further. From what I have learnt in our battle your power becomes weak the longer you use it. this is because being able to see multiple timelines and opposing events at once takes a lot of energy. That was why you tried ending the battle as soon as possible because your power was becoming weak allowing you to see the future only if your opponent was in your field of view and because you had become weak you couldn't look further into me stabbing you from behind.
Harald: I heard you were strong but I didn't know you were such a badass. Figuring my power and countering me just like that. I guess it was because if my arrogance that led to my defeat. Hey would you marry me one day?
Erza punches Harald so hard that is knocks him out thereby defeating him.
Announcement: Harald Vitserk from the Dawn Of Sunset Squad has been eliminated.
With this only 18 fighters remain. How will this tournament unfold? And will Dante be able to successfully overcome his Training and return to his world?
