Azeek speaks and says:
"I came here to help my sister. What are you doing here?"
Max is shocked and becomes extremely tense, then says:
"Nothing, I only came here to drink some coffee."
Gwanda comes out from inside and notices the bouquet of roses behind Max's back, so she is surprised and becomes extremely happy and says:
"What is that extremely beautiful bouquet, is it for me?"
Max is distracted by fear of Azeek's reaction and gives Gwanda the roses so she can smell them, and she likes them very much, then Gwanda speaks and says:
"This is my brother Azeek, he came here to help me."
Max smiles and greets Azeek, who grips his hand a little tightly and cannot pull it out of Azeek's hand.
Gwanda introduces Azeek to Max and confirms to him that Max is the one who became her partner in the shop.
Azeek lets go of Max's hand and says:
"You came at the right time, come sit with me and let us talk. I need you for something important."
Azeek and Max sit at one of the tables, then Gwanda brings Max's order, and he assures her that he will be with her after a few minutes and speaks, saying:
"Gwanda, I hope you pray for me because I really need your prayers."
Gwanda is surprised and asks about the reason, and Max confirms that it is something very important at work and hopes that he will be fine.
Gwanda leaves, and she appears confused by Max's strange behavior today.
Azeek speaks and says:
"Do not be afraid, I am not here to kill you. I found out that you are in a relationship with my sister, and I see that you are a trustworthy person. The most important thing is only to make sure that there are no sexually transmitted diseases, because you are awake and you might harm her."
Max is shocked, sweats, moves his hand, and says:
"No, no, you misunderstood completely, I am not in a relationship with your sister at all, she is a friend."
Gwanda notices the conversation between Max and Azeek and says:
"Is there something or something like that?"
Azeek speaks and says:
"Nothing, just continue your work, we have been friends for a while."
Gwanda is surprised and says:
"What a strange coincidence, I did not know that Max was actually your friend."
One of the customers enters, and Gwanda becomes busy with him.
Then Azeek speaks and says:
"All right, no problem. The important thing is that Shia, Clark, and I went to the Stellar Organization and discovered the presence of a traitor there named Butler, and he is from another organization called the Shadow Organization, and that boy admitted to everything he knows."
Max focuses on Azeek's words, and Azeek sighs and says:
"Max, you are being watched by a mysterious and unknown entity. For some reason, that boy confirmed that there is someone from that organization who has an aura that has never appeared before, and when I reviewed Farou's papers I discovered that his aura was silvery-black, and this is extremely strange and unusual. That boy confirmed that this means you will die soon, one way or another."
Max is surprised, and smiles involuntarily and says:
"Do not worry, I am fine."
A voice message arrives from the Star Organization requesting Azeek's immediate presence, as there is a strange aura surge coming out of somewhere in the city.
Max is shocked after listening to the entire message and says to himself:
"[The X mark that was somewhere in Star City, this is extremely dangerous.]"
Azeek stands and says:
"I want you to stay here for a few days, and Shia will come especially to support you after a few hours."
Azeek moves to leave, while Max thinks and then says:
"Question: why are you afraid if I die? In the end, I am just a newcomer."
Azeek looks at him from the corner of his eye and then says:
"Everyone in the Star Organization must be protected at any cost, and that is the first rule. Never forget it."
Then Azeek bids farewell to Gwanda and leaves the shop heading toward the library and from there to the underworld.
Max thinks a little and says:
"[The deserted city of the gods, the land of ruin and destruction, what is this thing? The gods must be brought to an end, including me, who I am and the Void.]"
"Max... are you here, Max?"
Max stops thinking suddenly while Gwanda is beside him, and she speaks and says:
"What is wrong with you? Why did you not eat the croissant and drink the coffee? It will get cold."
Max smiles and says:
"I will finish it right now, just give me a few minutes."
Suddenly, a second paper falls from the lotus flower, and another logically possible probability is born, resulting in another logically possible world completely different in every way, no matter what, from the first probability and the first world, and in it entities, civilizations, stories, tales, love, death, and life appear.
Max does not feel a change in power and thinks and says:
"[This is indeed strange, and it happens every time. It seems that my awakening through this path made me tied only to its power, while its powers, those worlds, and the infinite abilities I obtain from every possibility and possible world, I can never use them except within my own world.]"
Max finishes eating, then starts helping Gwanda and cleaning the tables and the shop glass with all love, and throws some jokes from time to time, which makes Gwanda happy and lively.
And on the completely other side, Azeek sits in front of him with the traitor Butler, whose hands and nails are broken, and in complete coldness Azeek speaks and says:
"Tell me now, what is there in the place where the aura is concentrated? Is it a trap? Is it an ambush? Tell me."
Butler laughs hysterically and says:
"Long live the fallen god, long live the fallen god."
Azeek stands up and suddenly the chair on which the entity is sitting moves and becomes a living being! The chair squeezes him strongly, then Azeek's eye turns black and what is beyond death itself appears in the form of existential skeletons behind Azeek, and in a terrifying voice he says:
"Tell me what is there."
The boy screams and decides to confess, so Azeek is shocked and his thoughts become confused, not understanding why Butler is hiding this thing and considering it a danger to his life if he says it.
"[Farou is there, but how? He certainly disappeared. There is something.]"
Azeek sends a message to the police and immediately requests the evacuation of the city, as there is suspicion of a destructive bomb or something more dangerous, then he closes the line and continues interrogating Butler, who screams loudly.
And in the coffee shop, Max washes the dishes while Gwanda prepares food in the oven, microwave, and drinks.
Gwanda stands beside Max while the customers are sitting on the seats, then Max speaks and says:
"This is wonderful, there are many customers today. I hope things continue like this."
Gwanda feels extremely happy and says:
"I hope so too. The important thing is to wash the dishes well and then put them in the dryer."
Max looks below himself and finds a dishwasher, and says jokingly:
"What is this? You have a dishwasher and you are forcing me to wash the dishes."
Gwanda smiles and says:
"It is broken. Tomorrow maintenance will come and see what is wrong with it. And secondly, the dishwasher is ours, not mine alone."
Max's eyes meet Gwanda's eyes, while her face is surrounded by thick, jet-black hair that flows in wide, wavy strands around the sides of her face and scatters softly, reflecting a clear vitality and density, and a clear, fresh complexion with a light wheat tone overflowing with radiance, while the cheeks and the fine bridge of the nose are decorated with light, soft freckles.
Gwanda's cheeks, with the harmonious oval face in which the features align clearly, turn red, and her eyes are almond-shaped and wide in a warm brown color, and the beauty of the eyes is accentuated by long, thick, and defined eyelashes, while above them rest dark, full, and neatly shaped eyebrows.
Max smiles at her and takes the food and drinks from her so he can serve them to the customers.
And involuntarily Gwanda places her hand on her full, precisely defined lips, which take on a shiny cherry-red color, and tension and feelings of love toward Max appear on Gwanda, while her slender, sharp neck and part of her shoulder appear.
Max returns again and continues washing the dishes calmly.
Max turns to place the plate back on the shelf, and the plate collides with Gwanda's forehead, so Max apologizes and their eyes meet again.
Max and Gwanda weaken, and Max's mouth draws closer to Gwanda's mouth while their heartbeats accelerate.
And suddenly a police officer enters, raising his voice and asking everyone to leave the city now because there is a bomb movement that will destroy the city.
People scream and leave the shop quickly.
Gwanda looks toward Max in shock, then the soldier looks toward Max and asks him to leave, him and those with him, now, so Max shows him his own badge, and the soldier falls silent and leaves.
Max speaks and says:
"Stay here, do not worry, I will check the situation quickly."
"[It seems they have started.]"
Gwanda responds and confirms that she will not go anywhere except with him.
Max is surprised and says:
"Watch out behind you."
Gwanda is surprised and looks behind her and finds nothing, then looks in front of her and finds a concrete iron pillar blocking the door, so she is shocked and looks toward Max and says:
"What happened in the name of the true Creator?"
Max tells her to stay here and that someone will come and take her, and not to worry, so she screams at him and asks him to come back, and Max disappears completely amid the crowd.
Max remembers exactly where the X mark is and heads toward the place quickly.
Max arrives immediately at the hotel and says to himself:
"[I used it. I will leave a copy of myself here in case of danger. That ability I obtained from the first battle, that is the ability to obtain only one ability from my world, and I chose the ability to copy existence. If something happens to me and I die, my essence will automatically move to that exact copy of me.]"
Then Max leaves the hotel and continues his way.
Gwanda sits alone, looking through the bulletproof glass at the people running while the police secure a route for evacuation.
"[What is happening? I do not understand anything. How did all this happen suddenly?]"
A concrete pillar breaks suddenly, and Shia appears and says:
"Come on, follow me. I am Max's friend. Come on."
Gwanda is surprised and holds Shia's hand, and suddenly Gwanda is transported to her home, and she appears shocked and unable to understand anything.
On the other side, Max reaches the place of the X mark, which was near Lady Theobe's palace and her daughter Maria, so Max rushes inside and asks them to leave immediately while the guards prepare a special car for her.
And at that moment Farou appears beside Max, specifically inside the palace, and speaks in a strange voice while crying and says:
"Please forgive me."
Farou's hand stretches and becomes a huge sharp sword that rushes toward Max, so Max screams asking everyone to lie down.
Max uses his power to push Theobe and Maria outside while Azeek runs carrying a strange box and heads with Shia and Clark toward the palace area.
Max feels an unmatched aura and is shocked, as the palace split into two halves while everything in the palace was shattered by the effect of the existential air alone.
He sees a pistol on the ground, so he grabs it and shoots Farou in the chest, but the bullet scatters and shatters.
Farou strikes Max violently with the hilt of the huge sword, knocking him strongly into the wall.
Farou cries hard while his features are strange and distorted, and suddenly the skin of his face falls, and he screams at Max and says:
"It should never have existed in the first place. You were a mistake. He will control you, he will control you."
Then suddenly Max feels tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing, while Farou rushes toward Max to tear him apart.
Suddenly Azeek appears and puts a barrier of death power in front of Farou to burn Farou's hand energy and the sword, which makes him scream, then Azeek stands beside Max and makes sure he is fine.
At that moment Farou grows extremely large and swells, and suddenly is compressed into the form of a small entity no more than 180 cm tall, extremely compressed, then the entity screams and a terrifying aura comes out of it, and with its tentacles it makes Clark fall to the ground far away and crash hard, losing consciousness, while Max bleeds from his mouth.
Shia becomes angry and takes her full stellar form and attacks the entity together with Azeek, who uses the skeletons to destroy the entity.
Max watches the fight silently while he is unable to move and bleeds from his mouth.
Suddenly Azeek receives a strong blow that throws him away, and the box falls in front of Max.
Azeek grits his teeth while Shia tries to hold him steady, and Azeek rushes toward the monster and turns his hand into absolute destruction energy, causing the entity to scream, which makes the ability cancel!
Max stands while unable to do anything and approaches the box, remembering that it resembles another box he had seen before in a lower world.
Max decides what he will do, then orders Shia to move away while Azeek is unable to endure, so he decides to save the team through the box.
Azeek is shocked as Max is holding the box, so he screams and orders him to give him the box, and suddenly Max pierces his chest strongly, pulls out his heart, and places it in the box.
Shia screams loudly and tears fall from her eye, while Azeek screams, then Max's power increases billions of times and a blue energy appears with a surrounding glow.
Then Max raises his hand toward the entity and says:
"Go to hell."
An extremely tremendous energy comes out, surrounding the entity, which screams in an extremely loud voice and is destroyed into pieces.
Max smiles, then the pipe falls from his mouth and the box, and he falls dead without moving.
Shia's cries rise, and sadness appears on Azeek.
Shia screams while holding Max's corpse and desperately asks him to come back, saying in a loud voice:
"No, no, no. That was not supposed to happen. It was supposed to be the key to the world's survival."
Shia tries to wake him and uses life energy, but to no avail, so Azeek holds her and says:
"He sacrificed himself in a ritual from which it is impossible to return."
Shia cries bitterly while people begin returning to their homes again.
And after half an hour, the bell rings at Gwanda's house, and she opens the door of her home at the edge of the city, happy and waiting for Max's arrival after hearing the news of the people returning again, while holding her hair comb.
Gwanda finds her brother Azeek kneeling with his head on the ground, so she smiles and says:
"Huh? Where is Max? Why did he not come with you? Is he at the shop?"
Azeek replies sadly while the sky is full of clouds and says:
"He died..."
The comb falls from Gwanda's hand, and she puts her hands over her mouth and collapses in tears while the rain falls heavily.
Gwanda cries while Azeek holds an umbrella to protect her from the rain, and they sit beside Max's grave while Clark, Shia, Maria, and Theobe stand praying for mercy for him.
Max stands far away, masked, looking toward them with a broken heart, and whispers saying:
"I have always been losing. I will miss you all, but now I can no longer bear it. Every time my power increases, I feel that his attempt to control me becomes stronger and stronger."
Max places a white flower on the ground, then leaves silently, leaving the river of the past behind him like a folded page, and begins toward another new path, holding his chest tightly, determined to victory.
"[I have an idea, I hope it works.]"
