The people of the planet had varied reactions to the battle that they had witnessed. Some were in awe of the sheer scale of the event, while others were overwhelmed by the devastation that they had seen. There were those who were filled with a sense of hope and inspiration, while others were left feeling helpless and vulnerable.
As they gathered together to talk about what they had seen, there was a sense of camaraderie and shared experience that permeated their conversations. They talked about the bravery of the soldiers who had fought in the battle and the incredible power of the being known as Erick Dahl. They shared their own fears and doubts, wondering if they would ever be able to face such a threat themselves.
.....
Some were excited by the prospect of what the future might hold, imagining new technologies and strategies that could help them protect themselves in case of another attack. Others were more cautious, fearing that the battle had only served to reveal just how vulnerable they truly were.
Despite their differences, the people of the planet were united in their admiration and respect for Erick Dahl. They saw him as a symbol of hope and strength, someone who had the power to protect them in ways they could not even imagine. As they looked to the future, they knew that they would face new challenges and threats, but they were also filled with a sense of determination and resilience. They had seen the worst that the universe could throw at them, and they knew that they could overcome anything as long as they stood together.
Those who knew Erick personally, like Leader Shun, Cortel, Monan, Merial, Rodrick, and Soren, were overwhelmed by his power and were left struggling to process their thoughts and emotions. Their respect and admiration for Erick had reached almost fanatical levels, and they would follow him unquestioningly, even if he were to ask them to jump into a fire and claim that they would gain fire immunity.
With renewed determination and a fiery resolve, the soldiers of the planet continued their battle against the malicious organisms that had infested the Central and neighbouring continents. Their efforts were supported by the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who had been inspired by the display of bravery and power shown by Erick Dahl and his battle against the Mother Entity.
For months, the soldiers fought tirelessly to reclaim their lost lands and cleanse them of the vile creatures that had taken hold. Their progress was slow but steady, and they refused to back down in the face of overwhelming odds. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, they emerged victorious, having claimed two of the five continents in their world.
The battle had come at a great cost, however. Many soldiers and civilians had lost their lives in the struggle, sacrificing everything they had to protect their world from the invaders. It was a time of mourning and grief, as the people of the planet came together to remember those who had fallen.
But even in the midst of their sorrow, there was a sense of pride and admiration for those who had fought so bravely. The six leaders of the Rhamnusia Organization and the World Council Leaders had emerged as powerhouses, their strength and skill honed by the countless battles they had fought. They were the heroes of the planet, celebrated for their courage and unwavering commitment to the cause.
As the people of the planet looked to the future, they knew that there would be more challenges to come. But they were ready to face them head-on, knowing that they had the strength and resilience to overcome anything that came their way. They were united, determined, and ready for whatever the universe had in store for them.

Miami City,
Outside the newly made mansion,
Cortel, Monan, Merial, and Rodrick huddled around Erick Dahl, tears streaming down their faces like raindrops on a stormy day.
“Are you really leaving us and going back to your world, Erick-sama?” they pleaded, clutching his limbs as if they could prevent him from disappearing.
Erick heaved a sigh, his expression one of helplessness mixed with amusement. “Ohh, Common! That’s why I didn’t want to tell you guys, but you were insisting on knowing about it, and now you’re acting like little spoiled kids!” he scolded, but his tone was light and teasing.
Leader Shun stepped forward, a look of confusion on his face. “But Erick-san, why did you want to go back so early? You said that you would wait for us to claim every piece of land from the malice organisms. Only then would you leave with peace of mind!”
Erick rolled his eyes, feeling slightly exasperated. “Do you guys want me to babysit you all the time? With your strength, there will be no problem in the task of claiming your land from the small fries malice organisms!” he said, looking at them like they were adorable little kids who needed a gentle scolding.
Monan, Merial, Cortel, and Rodrick reluctantly released their hold on him, but their eyes still shimmered with unshed tears.
“You know I never said that I’m not coming back here from time to time to pay you guys a visit!” Erick reassured them, his voice warm and comforting.
The four looked at him in disbelief, their expressions shifting from sorrowful to joyful in an instant.
“What...!!” they exclaimed in unison, their faces lighting up with happiness.
After the battle with the Mother entity, Erick had revealed to them that he wasn’t from this world and that he would soon return to his own world once his mission was complete.
Now, with the two continents freed from the malice organisms’ presence, Erick had made the decision to go back to his world. However, he had assured them that he would return to visit from time to time.
“So, when are you going back, Erick-san?” Leader Shun asked, his tone slightly hesitant.
“Well, after I meet a few people, I will go back. But before I do, let me give you these wristbands,” Erick said, pulling out six small bands from his pocket and tossing them towards Leader Shun.
The leader caught them deftly, examining them curiously. Erick went on to explain their purpose, detailing how they could be used to call for help in an emergency.
“Okay, then bye for now!” Erick said with a smile, before disappearing in a flash of light.
As he made his way towards his destination, Erick couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sadness at the thought of leaving this world behind. But he was comforted by the knowledge that he could always return to visit, and he was excited to see what the future held for both worlds. 𝐟𝒓𝚎𝘦we𝐛𝐧𝐨vℯ𝚕. c𝘰ｍ
