____________________________________
Back inside Saku’s Yggdrasill Mindscape, Saku and Lilith are sitting on the moon, watching as future North America, and South America break off of Pangaea.
Lilith: "There really are countless surprises when it comes to new parenthood.
Because of our new Egg’s new moon, the cluster of land our brilliant children eventually named, ’Panaega’, began to separate and spread out within the totality of ’Panthalassa’.
Yahweh and I were ecstatic, because in our minds, the children we wished to design would hopefully become a more culturally diverse species once they became properly developed and evolved."
Saku sits with his "Mother", watching as his planet slowly and incrementally forms into what he and the rest of humanity has known it as.
Saku: "Little did you two know, that same diversity and separation you saw as a sign of good fortune for you children, actually created generations of illogical hierarchies creating hate and fear amongst us all.
The ’blessing’ you believed would help, was actually a ’curse’."
Once again Lilith’s face is full of erring guilt, knowing what Saku is trying to say without trying be disrespectful.
Saku: *sighs* Listen, I’m thankful for the eye ability you’ve given me, Ma..."
Lilith’s upset expression turns to surprised, and bright pink from being called ’Ma’, but unlike before, she has time to consciously process it.
Lilith: "M-M-Ma?"
Saku: "To be honest, it’s helped me appreciate the life you’ve also given me, and it might be going rouge right now, but because of some of the powers I’ve absorbed, the blessing helped save the ones who make me appreciate existence even more."
He watches Africa split off of Euroasia and remembers...
Saku: "But that’s why I have to find a way out of this Yggdrasill Mindscape, and stop my Vessel from hurting anyone.
Before Katsu can use that as ammo to turn everyone against me."
Lilith: "The Vessel for the Communication Eye of Wisdom?"
Saku: *nods* "Yea, hes- he’s been...different... ever since Shelly ’gifted’ him that IceEye, but things got even more weird the morning after we were blessed with our Anjell Eyes.
If every Eye of Wisdom has a certain ’curse’, and mine is exhibiting itself now.
What is Katsu’s ’curse’?"

{Current Day 10PM}
[Roronora Lake]
The ambivalence "curse" of the sobbing, exasperated Yin Vessel, continues to gently sway left to right more than 100ft(~33m) over the city, turned sanctuary, and now a shallow blood red lake.
While 5 of the giant Icemen are stomping the edge of the parking lot to the True Bloom Arena, the rest of the 100+ colossal creatures who caused complete chaos, all together they head in the same direction.
They pass underneath the floating Berserk Saku. By
The insanely dark storm clouds forming above the bloody "puddle", sporadically spark and instantly, a lightning bolt shoots down towards one of the giant Icemen beneath the out of control Yin Vessel.
Just as in the case when Nephilim had originally displayed his Eye Ability, right before informing them of Squad 40 and Itsuka’s bounty. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
*BOOM!!!!!!*
[Scientific Note to Know Before Continuing:
Thunder is created when lightning "slices" through the surrounding atmosphere, creating vibrations in the air using spontaneous heat.
The average lightning bolt temperature on Earth can reach over 50,000F° (30,000C°) which is three times as hot as the Sun itself.
However, because of Berserk Saku’s uncontrollable Seiõr, the lightning strikes from his Anjell Eye can reach up to 100,000F° (30,000C°).
So when combined with his other copied abilities, both Saku’s lightning and thunder can be used as physical attacks.]
The life silencing thunder that follows is so strong, it creates a visible sound wave and overpowers the death shriek from the slain alien Goliath.
Like actual glass being struck by Thor’s hammer, Mjölnir.
Starting from where the misfortunate Iceman was struck on it’s head, all the way downward, the inflicted giant shatters into snowflakes and becomes one with the newly formed lake it helped create.
A mile away, without anything to obscure their view of the almost biblical scene, Shelly watches on in pure awe.
One after another, the now seemingly retreating alien ice giants, who were just recently an unstoppable force to humanity, all get struck by precision lightning bolts, one by one.
Insane spears of heat spike right through the cranium of each monster, through their bodies, and still touching the highly conductive blood lake.
Shelly: "That’s...I can’t believe..."
Standing behind her, Katsu, someone who would be highly geeked about the "coolness" of the scene, is looking left to right.
His eyes widen, again, seemingly knowing something bad is about to happen and he quickly lunges towards Shelly.
Unexpectedly, another insanely powerful lightning bolt strikes the red water only 100 yards away from the giant Iceman with the hand Katsu and Shelly are using for support.
*BOOOM!!!!!!*
The visible sound wave quickly travels towards the unprepared Valkyrie but as soon as the dangerous SoundSeiõr hits her nose, a pair of hands cover her ears, and the threat passes by her, viciously blowing her hair back momentarily.
Quickly calculating exactly what just happened, the pair of hands move away from her temples and ears.
The sound of Katsu trying his best to not groan in pain behind her.
Eyes wide, Shelly slowly turns around to see Katsu taking a knee, a hand over his left ear.
Shelly: "Katsu?"
She moves his hand away and the keeper for the Yang Vessel is speechless seeing his bleeding ear, and the sacrificial sensory damage Katsu took by using his hands to protect her ears instead.
Clearly in pain Katsu winces through his words.
Katsu: "Rrrgh, you grr-ood, Shelly?
I managed ahrr..to turn my head oww...so I’d only blow out one ear drahhhm!"
Shelly: "Kats- Katsu...why?"
Shelly puts her head down, shadows cover over her eyes, and the backdrop of lightning strikes behind her add even more tension.
Shelly: "Why does everyone sacrifice their well being... for me?
Why does everyone want me to keep living on with this guilt?
I’ve never committed a single crime, but yet I have to live on with so much guilt..."
Slowly relaxing from the pain, and with his Anjell Eye already repairing the Vessel’s eardrum with HealingSeiõr, Katsu’s anticlimactic goofy self kicks back in, unknowingly missing one of Shelly’s badass moments.
Katsu: "What was that, Shell?! I kinda gotta ringing in my ear right now, and all that thunder!
Did you say ’yea, you are good?!"
Shelly, on the other hand, ignores the usual playful side to the man she loves and unsheathes her katana from behind her.
Shelly: "I’m sick of this...
My mom.
My adopted parents.
My cherished friends.
I’m sick of everyone putting their lives on the line because of me...
I am so.
Freaking.
Sick of it..."
As she continues to get more emotional, her passed down golden pink SoulSeiõrShield, begins to majestically flow more off her body and the gripped katana like a growing flame off of a log, but now it’s twice as thick as her ’Mach 1’ layer, which can only mean....
[SHELLY’S SPECIAL SOULSEIÕRSHIELD OF ’SANGUINTY’- MACH 2: ACHIEVED!!!]
[Reminder about Shelly’s ’Mach System’ because of the new coating of ’Shelly’s Special SoulSeiõrShield’ surrounding her, it not only allows her to achieve outrageous speeds but it also protects her body from the negative side effects of moving at now 1534mph{646mps}, which is twice the speed of sound.)
Noticing the urgency to the situation, Madame Fryer unsheathes herself and float beside her partner in preparation, but another unpredictable lightning bolt strikes closer to the group, only about 50 yards away.
Similar to the last, the lightning strikes and a visible sound wave is rocketed towards Shelly standing guard in front of her purpose.
This time however, being now twice as fast as the speed of sound, Shelly’s head rises back up, exposing her pissed off Below Sanpaku azule eyes that lock on to the incoming assault of vibrations.
*fffWOOoOSH!*
In an unorthodoxy style compared to the usual ’handicapping’ tooth grip Shelly usually has when swinging the lightweight blade, the unbelievably skilled woman soldier uses the strength from her dominant right arm, to swipe the katana in an upward sloping slice.
Invisible to the naked eye, the pushed air from her swing manages to also cut through the air in the surrounding atmosphere up to 25 yards away where it connects and cuts through the dangerous wave of SoundSeiõr.
Katsu with the ringing still in his bloody ear, is now star eyed after seeing the cool move successfully done by the coolest person he knows, concluding her cool speech that he still can’t hear.
Shelly: "I’m done with today.
I’m covered in the blood of multiple strangers.
I’ve had to leave possibly good people behind to die.
I just want to beat Saku’s ass, go home, take a bath, and go to bed.
I don’t care if he doesn’t take a certain type of damage, or if he can use every single power in the god damn world.
I am going to end this little temper tantrum of his.
Right here.
Right now."
...

Katsu: "Whaat?!"
