Chapter 2: Reunion part 1

"Ughh... my head..."

The man touched his head and gently massaged it, trying to make the pain disappear. 

After a while, the pain gradually disappears. Then he opened his eyes, looking directly at the sun.

"Huh weird, I thought we destroyed the multiverse."

"Oh, how I missed seeing the sun... wait sun? SUN?!"

Then he slowly realized that this is actually a true world. Looking around he sees many children crying around him with their parents hugging them while looking at him like a weirdo.

"Huh, so we did it huh?" The man smiled.

He looked around one more time, trying to confirm where the h*ck is he at.

"Looks like a park? a children's playground maybe?" He chuckled. He missed seeing a peaceful time when children can run around and play, though right now they are crying.

After confirming the location he was at, he started to call the multiverse. The friend that has gone through light and darkness together with him.

"Multiverse are you there?"

Nothing replied him.

"Hello, multiverse anyone there?"

Even after multiple times calling to the air, no one replied to him.

"Ah god d*mnit... it's gone too huh. I am truly the last one alive from that war."

The sudden feeling of emptiness caught him off guard. He fought it, he is after all the strongest being in existence. He can mourn all he wants after making sure the new multiverse is safe and sound.

He summoned his sword and scabbard and tried to stand up. After a few moments of imbalance, he slowly walked to the exit gate, but then he realized that the surrounding people become more cautious, and some even called the authorities.

"Ah yes, foolish me. Thought I can't help it, normal sticks would break if I tried to use it, and my power still unstable."

The man is afraid with little control he has of his power, something he will regret later would happen if he tried to use his power.

"But heck, what part of me did you guys afraid of, I am just a handicapped man who lost his right arm and left leg and can't even walk straight. No one in the right mind will suspect that I can swing this iron rod"

He looks at his sheathed sword and he suddenly has a moment of realization, it does look quite intimidating.

"Ah... yeah... of course."

He ignored the crowd and slowly walks to the location he dearly misses.

He walks slowly while seeing the buildings and busy crowds around him with nostalgic looks. A smile crept across his face. Though not for long.

"Stop right there mister smiling man." (Female voice)

The man abruptly stops walking, his eyes wide open. He knows this voice, this familiar voice. He turns back and a look of surprise colors his face. What he sees is a beautiful golden-haired beauty with green eyes wearing what looks like a navy blue military cape and a pure white military uniform. Her three golden stars on top of her shoulders tell others about her rank and standing with whatever organization she comes from.

He slowly opened his lips.

"Ria..."

The woman furrows her brows. She signaled her subordinates to surround the man with weapons in their hands and issued the highest alert, staying ready to act at any time.

"Who are you? Why did you know my name? Where did you come from?".

The man smiled.

[30 Minutes ago, City B Headquarters of the World Military]

A meeting is being held by the highest authority. There is 13 highest-ranked person in the room with each of them being 1-Star and above. A being with the strength of 1-Star is capable of erasing mountains from existence if they wanted to, not to mention 2-Star and the legendary 3-Star.

"So what do we do with the unrest that happened at City H?" (Rank 9 female officer)

"We can do nothing about it, to be honest." (Rank 11 male officer)

"And why is that? we are capable of solving that case by killing it." (Rank 9 female officer)

"No, we aren't. Sure we can kill it, but the damages of our battle will cost us much more money than simply evacuating the residents." (Rank 7 female officer)

"Well that is true, but what's your opinion your excellency Aeria?" (Rank 9 female officer)

"We can't let it take over the city, it will grow too much and sooner or later will be out of our control" (Ria, Rank 1 female officer)

Ria scanned the eyes of every member included in the meeting.

"We will wait until the reinforcement from Eraver Empire to arrive, for now, we wil-" (Ria, Rank 1 female officer)

Before she finished her words, she and a few members of the meeting abruptly stands up and looked in the same direction.

"Did you all feel it?" (Ria, Rank 1 female officer)

She asked the ones who also stands up with her.

"Yeah, this can't be good." (Rank 2 male officer)

"Agreed, we need to check it out ASAP!" (Rank 3 male officer)

The door burst open and an officer suddenly barged in.

"REPORT! I'm sorry to intrude, but we detected an anomaly around 3 blocks from the headquarter. The reading says that it was a living being with seemingly endless energy!"

The members of the meeting went wide-eyed after hearing the frantic report.

"Damn it! of all places! Brothers to arms and follow me!" (Ria, Rank 1 female officer)

Each and every members summoned their weapons preparing for a likely event where they have to fight, even from their aura people can see they are ready to fight to the death.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the location of the anomaly. What they saw is not what they predicted. No dead bodies, and no destroyed buildings, it's a pretty calming place with the background noise of the busy city. They only see a smiling man who lost his right arm and left leg walking slowly aided by an unsheathed sword in front of them. They are a bit relieved that the cause of the anomaly is a human and not an unreasonable monster.

Ria looked at the smiling man from top to the bottom and ultimately stopped at the sword. She slowly walks to him to avoid any misunderstanding and asked him.

"Stop right there mister smiling man." (Ria, Rank 1 female officer)

The man stopped walking and turned to see her. She can see how the man opened his eyes wide, she's sure that the man is focused on her. Then the man called to her, her real name.

"Ria..."

Hearing her name from him makes her nervous. Her alarm rang throughout her body, warning her not to oppose the man in front of her. She can feel a truly powerful force hiding in that battered body of him. A force that can erase the entirety of humanity with ease. But within that feeling of power, there's also a large amount of gentleness and nostalgic feeling, this is what makes her 100% sure he is not a threat to her. Though she won't know that it's the default effect when a lesser being communicates with a much higher-level being.

She steeled her courage and asked him once again.

"Who are you? Why did you know my name? Where did you come from?" (Ria, Rank 1 female officer)

The man smiled.

But the next answer that the man gives makes her eyes wide open.

"I'am your little brother. █ █ █ █. older sister Ria"
