"Bring it on!"

"Heh, I have defeated you, Now then, Grant me my reward." Malgorth affirms while grinning.

The Guardian responds with a scowl, "You were fortunate that your delusion protected you; however, do not become overly elated. Nevertheless, here it is."

The Guardian brandishes a diamond that materializes in his hands in the direction of Malgorth.

Malgorth inquires with a shocked expression on his brows, "You have just saved time for the two of us."

The Guardian grins and responds, "Certainly, there is no need for concern. In any case, I dislike wasting time."

Malgorth teleports away with the diamond from the guardian while grinning.

Conversely, on the final day preceding the conflict, Morgrathun is in his office in the Morgrathun Realm when Malgorth appears before him via teleportation.

Morgrathun greets Malgorth with a grin and the remark, "Well, it's great to see you back."

Malgorth places the diamond on the desk with a sneer on his face. 

As he stares intently at the diamond, Morgrathun's eyes widen and he declares, "So, this is the tool that Pansophical was referring to." Morgrathun closes and reopens his eyes as he declares, "The tool that appears to be Grythor's weakness."

As Morgrathun seizes Diamond, he begins to grin. However, his smirk ceases as he inquires, "I, not you, dispatch Nethrasul on this mission; therefore, where is he?"

Malgorth responds, "Well, it appears that the Guardian guarding this tool sealed him shut. Thereafter, I engaged in combat with Guardian and emerged victorious; in exchange, He bestowed upon me the aforementioned tool."

In response, Morgrathun states, "Huh.... The news of Nethrasul's defeat came as an absolute shock. "However, I will unseal him myself once I have defeated humanity in battle and Grythor as well."

The response from Malgorth is "Yes, Indeed."

As he gazes at the sky in the dream realm with an entirely serious countenance, Denzel inquires, "Therefore, do I not still require any training prior to my participation in the upcoming war?"

The Sky Voice replies, "No. You have acquired rudimentary knowledge. During combat, you will experience a few awakenings; once you have successfully completed those awakenings, you will be granted access to higher levels of existence."

Denzel peers up at the sky and exclaims, "Damn, I had to endure those awakenings prior to being granted access to more advanced levels of training, huh?"

"In short, The answer indeed is, Yes." The response of Voice to Denzel's inquiry.

"So, Tell me more about the powers i could achieve through Higher levels of Training?" Dezel inquires.

"You can attain divine-like qualities or even become God through the higher realms; however, the more formidable power you seek, the greater sacrifices you will be required to make and the more difficult it will be to attain these powers. However, acquiring greater levels of power would also heavily depend one to ethical obligations. You may murder others, inflict horrifying acts upon them, or abuse your power, but the more you commit negative acts, the greater your suffering will be. In the end, everything you give away will return to you." The voice answers.

Denzel is extremely interested by the statemnet of attaining divine likeness. "Explain further, what powers will be achievable, such as what you mean by 'god-like' and are you suggesting that attaining deity status is a reality. I considered them all to be woo-woo and fantasy."

"Perhaps you could attain the status of a deity or god, but attaining that loftiest objective will also prove to be the most arduous and determined endeavor." In this life, accomplishments are impossible in the absence of will. There will come a time during your voyage when everything seems impossible and at its lowest, but that very moment will serve as a test to determine whether or not you have sufficient willpower." The voice reacts.

"Damn, it will indeed be a source of agony. That really awful. Doesn't any shortcut exist?"

"Indeed, there is not. Shortcuts are reserved for those with a feeble resolve and fragile mindset. Those who possess unwavering determination and resilience are destined to never falter. Regardless of the obstacles they face, their spirit remains unyielding." The voice responds.

"Heeyah..." "That sounds simple; all I need then is an indomitable will." Denzel replies with an enormous grin.

"You truly are naive if you think, Gaining Indestructable Will requires no Strength." Voice Responses.

"...OH!" Denzel reacts as his joy evaporates.

A voice appears in Denzel's mind and says, "This sounds very familiar to me."

The inquiry of Denzel is, "Who is this?" Micheal, the voice within mind, replies, "Yoi, It's me."

His face is radiant with delight as Denzel exclaims, "Yo, How has training been? "In my dream, how are you able to communicate with me?"

Micheal exclaims with a chuckle, "Dumbass, Dream technically belongs to the Higher Realms, which is precisely where I am at the moment. "As for training, I did acquire a few abilities." 

"Glad to hear that-" Upon Denzel's reply, Micheal has already approached him.

Denzel beams upon recognizing Micheal. "As you claimed, you possess superpowers?" Then we shall engage in combat."

Micheal replies with a sneer and states, "Aight Bet!"

Micheal, startled by Denzel's sword offspring, responds with a smirk rather than an outrage. 

Denzel lunges at Micheal, Swinging his sword.

However, Micheal responds with bringing out his Kusarigama while leaping backwards, Leading kusarigama and Sword to clash with a clashing sound.

As Dust suttles out, Micheal's Smirk has has widen after clash, While Denzel, Looks at Micheal with a suprise look but quicklu turns it into a smile. 

"Dang, I thought it would be Sword vs Fist, But Nah, You had to bring your shit out also." Denzel says as his hand massages back of his head.

"Play Fair, Boy." Micheal responds. Denzel immediately responds with, "Nah, Don't tell me what to do. And who you calling boy!"

Micheal doesn't respond to Denzel and instantly launches attack with his kusarigama.

Denzel evades attack by side-stepping, But, To his suprise, Micheal pulls kusarigama back, aiming for the head.

Denzel is shocked and barely evades it by bending his head downwards. Micheal observes it with a suprise, yet impressed.

"You thought, You had a upper hand against me that easily. Not a chance." Denzel declares at Micheal with a proud tone.

Micheal observes circumstance with a smirk, replying to Denzel, "Kiyah... I haven't even went all out yet, and you here thinking, You are equal to my level. What a bunch of bullshit."

Denzel, with a confident smirk, States, "I Know your goofy ass ain't talking like your some God or some other Supernatural being. Shut your goofy ass up."

Micheal leaps in air, Spins his kusarigama and launches it at rapid speed, Aiming to make Denzel Trip over. 

Denzel smirks as he easily jumps over kusarigama, with a profound confidence and grin, He hurls his sword at Micheal's face.

Micheal's eyes get widen with a suprise, {[He wasn't expecting Denzel to throw sword at his face.]} But He manages to evade it.

Micheal lands on ground and, gazes denzel for few moments, Processing what to do next.

Micheal drops his Kusarigama, And with a serious tone, He declares, "Alright, Fuck it. I am going to show you my power, Denzel. You pushed my buttons, Now, Don't cry like a bitch then."

Denzel tossess his sword away to the side. With a Smirk on his face, He starts to perform Jumping jacks for a warm up. He then says, "Aight Bet. Up until now, Everything was a mere warmup."

Micheal starts to radiate Purple aura from his body as he starts to take Denzel seriously. 

Denzel observes Micheal getting serious, So he instantly assumes a fighting pose.

{[Denzel shall awaken sooner than we expected, as his energy levels are getting higher and higher since he utilized his **Certain** state of mind, But when he utilized that state, It was unconscious, but in this fight, He should be able to grasp that mental state consciously, rather than unconscious.]}

{[As for Micheal, Denzel's closest friend, Sinister Fate awaits him.]}

Micheal charges at Denzel with rapid fast movement. However, Before Denzel could even react to, His face gets hit by rapid fast punches from Micheal that human eye cannot track, Thus resulting in stagger for Denzel.

Micheal immediately sees staggered Denzel, and launches punch straight to the gut. Punch collides with Denzzel's Guts, Creating a huge sound.

"...GRAGH!" Denzel responded to punch with blood spilling out of his mouth.

Micheal steps back and countinues to gaze upon Injured Denzel. His face expression shifts from Serious to Normal, He reacts, "You injured, Already? Man, What a shame, I thought you had something in your arsenal that will make you on a par with me, In terms of power."

Denzel struggles, But slowly tilts his head upwards, staring at Micheal and responding with, "I-I Didn't knew you were this fast and strong."

Micheal responds with a grunt, Smirk and replying to Denzel's statement, "Well, That was a good run. I am pleased with this fight."

Denzel responds, "Nah, I started this fight, Thus, I shall ought to be the one to end it."

Micheal chuckles at Denzel's statement and replies, "With that injury, Yea, I don't know about that."

Denzel stands up fully, His wounds are fully healed, replies, "Look again."

Micheal is surprised by the healing and remarks, "Hmph... Not bad, I wasn't expecting you to be healed, But in the end, we are in the dream world, so anything is possible here."

Denzel assumes battle stance once more, This time, He is fully serious yet radiates immense amount of confidence, replying to Micheal, "Get Serious, Shit's about to go crazy. Right now, I am going to show you, What can i do."

Micheal with a taunting tone while smirking, simply replies, "Go ahead, I want to see what your made of."
