CYBER

Bael and Jayden remain trapped within the mouth of the chain ghost. Bael surveys the area and notices the mask still within the grasp of the mouth's depths. He swims towards the arms, attempting to retrieve the mask, but one of them clutches his throat, causing him to struggle for air and eventually lose consciousness. Jayden arrives and pulls Bael away from the arms. He extends his arm and grabs hold of the mask. Jayden swims back to the mouth's opening, struggling to pry it open. Meanwhile, on the boat, Mako converses with his father, Wiz, about his mother's previous mention of his aunt's affiliation with a group called Cyber. Wiz reveals that his aunt's name is Adamaan and she belongs to the powerful bodyguard family of Hinode. They witness Adamman swiftly swimming to the chain ghost, which is on the verge of entering a portal to the Limbo. However, Adamman seizes one of its chains, preventing it from entering the portal. The chain ghost retaliates with its chains, but Adamman withstands the attacks, causing the chains to break upon striking her body. With a rapid uppercut, Adamman launches the giant chain ghost out of the ocean and into the air. The chain ghost eventually descends near the ship, its mouth slightly open. Jayden takes the opportunity to jump out of the mouth, landing on the ship along with Bael and the mask. Adamman also lands on the ship as the chain ghost dissipates. Jayden and Grace exchange a fist bump before Jayden fades away. Adamman observes Jayden's sleeping body and expresses admiration. She then approaches Wiz and notices the darkness encroaching on his arms. Adamman urges Wiz to cease his battle against spirits to prevent the darkness from consuming him completely. Wiz asserts that he had to protect his family and assures her that the Ghost team eliminated REVA. Adamman's laughter awakens Jayden, who sees her towering presence. Jayden recognizes her as a member of the Cyber team and one of the 20 Kaijus, individuals whose powers rival those of destructive monsters. Grace, unfamiliar with the term Kaijus, inquires about them, prompting Jayden to explain that they are humans with powers matching those of monsters capable of annihilating humankind. Grace expresses surprise at the existence of 20 Kaijus worldwide. Adamman approaches Grace and reveals that she is the adoptive daughter of one of her former students. Grace questions if Adamman knows her mother, to which Adamman smiles and explains that Grace's mother was once her greatest student but wasted her potential by engaging in regular human fighting in Central city of Freeda. Grace becomes slightly annoyed by Adamman's statement. Adamman addresses the entire group, revealing that REVA is still alive. She activates a gadget on her wrist, displaying a screen with people exhibiting dark eyes and sinister smiles, engaged in acts of violence. Adamman explains that there are multiple REVAs scattered around the world. Jayden feels disappointed, realizing that they had only eliminated one REVA and now understands why REVA had a satisfied expression upon his demise. Adamman emphasizes the need to restrain any videos involving spiritual powers, as she believes the world is unprepared to comprehend such abilities. She argues that releasing such videos would disrupt the harmony of Freeda, the land of freedom, which humanity had fought hard to establish. Adamman warns that if the wrong people discover spiritual powers, curiosity could amplify the existing chaos in the world. She also expresses the desire to keep the list of Kaijus short, as anyone on that list could pose a danger to humankind. Jayden reassures her that he has already devised a plan for their content.

Fans of the Ghost team worldwide eagerly open their computer screens, accessing the Ghost team's webpage where a live stream is about to begin. The countdown reaches zero, and Casper appears in the live video, set in a pristine white room. Casper announces that Para has become a part of the Ghost team, prompting an outpouring of heart emojis from fans that flood the live video screen. Casper acknowledges that fans likely have many questions from the previous live stream and suggests that the person responsible for its abrupt end should explain. The live stream transitions to the Ghost team's office, and Philp emerges, welcoming the surprised fans who express their astonishment through a flurry of emojis. Philp assures everyone that the Ghost team is alive and well, expressing his gratitude for the team saving him from possession. The rest of the Para team joins Philp on the live stream. Wendy addresses the fans, acknowledging their curiosity about the actual Ghost team's whereabouts, assuring them that they will see for themselves. The live stream showcases a short video of the Ghost team embarking on a journey in a limo, with Holly turning to the camera and smiling while fans inundate the screen with heart emojis. The video then transitions to the Ghost team camping, with Holly adjusting the camera to give fans a better view as she cooks alongside James. The scene shifts to Holly posing at the entrance of Fish Village, capturing the Ghost team fishing activities. The video further immerses viewers with an awe-inspiring first-person perspective of the underwater life in Fish Village, centering on Holly. Suddenly, Holly takes out her phone, listens to something, and starts running, followed by the camera. They arrive at a fish market where Grace and Mako chase a man causing chaos. The man briefly crosses paths with Holly and leaps over her. Grace urges them to hurry, and Holly smiles at the camera as they continue the chase. The short video concludes, transitioning to a live stream of Holly on a ship sailing through the ocean. Holly warmly greets her fans as a variety of emojis flood the live stream. She explains that the Ghost team is on vacation, and the rest of the team joins her, waving at the fans. Holly announces that Para will take charge of the page in their absence, becoming a part of the Ghost team. She mentions that Para's future live streams will focus on the church and explore further content related to the enigmatic afterlife. The Ghost team bids farewell to their fans as the live stream comes to an end. The group celebrates and Adamman joins in, applauding their success in keeping spiritual powers a secret. She informs the team that the Cyber team was established to maintain peace worldwide, whether in-person or online, in relation to spiritual powers.

Wiz approaches Adamman and asks her to do what she did to him in the past. Adamman remembers and refers to it as a test of power, which Wiz acknowledges. The Ghost team gathers before her, and Adamman pushes Wiz towards them, stating that he will also be a part of this power test. Wiz becomes anxious as he didn't plan to participate in the test. Adamman announces that since they are aware of spiritual power, they must be put to the test. The Ghost team assumes their battle stances. Adamman emanates a massive zone of spiritual energy from her body, filling the upper half of the ship. The Ghost team struggles to maintain their footing within the spiritual energy zone. James and Holly fall face-first onto the ship's floor, Mako drops to his knees, Wiz falls to one knee, Grace falls backward, and Jayden manages to stay standing but finds it difficult to take further steps. Adamman is impressed by Jayden's resilience. Suddenly, Grace slowly rises to her feet and begins to catch up with Jayden, both of them continuing to advance slowly towards Adamman. Adamman smiles at their progress. She releases more spiritual energy, which hits the entire Ghost team, sending them flying, with the exception of Jayden, to the opposite end of the ship where the spiritual zone does not affect them. Grace gets up and watches as Jayden continues walking towards Adamman. Jayden reaches out his hand toward Adamman and closes his eyes. Jayden's body is propelled backwards, and Grace catches him at the other side of the ship. Adamman is surprised to see Jayden in spirit form, inching closer to her. Jayden then falls to the ship's floor, unable to rise. Adamman ceases the spiritual energy zone, causing it to return back into her body. Jayden fades away and regains consciousness. Adamman approaches them, impressed, and acknowledges that she now understands why Father Gabriel gave Jayden the Macrosser and promoted him. Adamman addresses Jayden as Father Jayden and explains that he has assumed Father Gabriel's position as the wielder of the Macrosser. She reveals that Gabriel was supposed to travel to the Kingdom for training under the high priest, but his lack of spiritual power led to the consequences of using the Macrosser's power without proper training. Grace realizes that the Macrosser is the cross they attempted to take away from Jayden's possession. Jayden retrieves the beautiful cross Macrosser and Grace asks for an explanation of its significance. Jayden pauses briefly and recounts the story of the Macrosser, which Father Gabriel recently shared with him after his promotion. He explains that long ago, the Macrosser was a fragment of the Lord itself, but the Lord transferred a portion of his spiritual power into a cross, thus creating the Macrosser. The Macrosser is just one of the five pieces of the Lord's power, which were bestowed in different forms, including the Riski Relic, the Necklace of Port, the Gauntlet of Rima, and the Lord's Body Tattoo. Suddenly, Adamman swiftly removes Grace's clothing, causing her to cover herself and scream. Adamman examines her body and explains that she anticipated Grace to possess a piece of the Lord due to the power test. She further clarifies that while Jayden is one in a million to possess such spiritual power, Grace's spiritual abilities are also unnatural. Holly intervenes, shielding Grace as she redresses. Grace suggests that she may also be that one in a million, but Adamman disagrees, stating that Grace is something different and asserts that a normal human her age cannot possess such significant spiritual power. Adamman uses Wiz as an illustration, emphasizing that despite being nearly 40 years old and a natural-born human, his spiritual power is nowhere near as significant as Grace's. Adamman examines Grace's eyes more closely and remarks that she doesn't observe much natural potential, but rather an inherent bestowed potential. Grace is puzzled by this revelation. Adamman approaches Mako, patting him on the shoulder and acknowledging that he possesses more power at his age compared to his father. She mentions that Mako still holds untapped potential and can learn from his grandfather, the main bodyguard of the Hinode front gates. With a smile, Adamman walks to the front of the ship and openly declares that she is on a family visit, assuring them that she will handle the next arrival of the chain ghost, alleviating their worries.

Bael regains consciousness and expresses gratitude to Adamman while also questioning how the cursed family he is trying to save became entangled with the chain ghost. Adamman reveals that the Cyber team delved deep into the family's history and discovered that the family's grandfather struck a deal with the chain ghost for wealth and fame, sacrificing his family's souls upon his death. As the grandfather's end drew near, he warned his family about the chain ghost, prompting them to scatter across the globe and create new families. The chain ghost hunted them down one by one, and when it reached the final family, Bael intervened and saved them from the curse, inadvertently becoming the new target. Bael comprehends the situation and expresses his gratitude once again. Adamman then turns to Jayden and acknowledges that she knows their objective. She emphasizes the difficulty of their task and the need to convince the Pope to use the Book of Seals on Bael. Jayden, filled with determination, assures her that he will persuade the Pope. The Ghost team enters a building housing a cafeteria, where everyone is having their meals. Meanwhile, Wiz heads to the Captain's room, where the Captain informs him that they can no longer follow Brodin's boat, as it is sailing to the forbidden waters of Ziria in the southern lands. Wiz acknowledges this and instructs the Captain to sail back to Hinode. In the cafeteria, the group sits down to eat, with Jayden visibly stressed about REVA not being entirely defeated. Grace comforts him, assuring him that they will triumph over their enemies. Jayden then reveals that REVA's real name is Prisma, sharing that Father Gabriel had told him Prisma's story.
