Chapter 52 - Chapter 22: Shadows of Revenge

Revenge of team scavengers ARC

After the long wars and the intense Multiversal Tournament, peace had finally returned to the Immortals and their allies.

On Earth, our heroes were enjoying a well-earned rest, spending time together, and even making plans for the future.

Some were preparing for marriage, strengthening their relationships, and building a life beyond battle.

But not all had found their destined partners.

Clore, the younger brother of Clow, had yet to find the one he was meant to be with.

Clow, ever the supportive brother, reassured him with a pat on the back.

"Don't worry, Clore. You'll find someone when the time is right."

Clore nodded, though he couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing in his life.

The Immortals had finally found peace, but peace… never lasts forever.

A Father's Wrath

Meanwhile, in the darkest reaches of space, in a realm untouched by light, a terrifying being sat upon his throne.

A messenger kneeled before him, bringing urgent news.

"My lord… I bring tragic news. Your son, Battle Beast, has been slain."

The room fell deathly silent.

The being's golden eyes burned with rage and sorrow. His grip on his throne tightened, cracking the indestructible stone beneath his fingers.

His deep, guttural voice filled the chamber.

"Who…?"

The messenger hesitated but spoke the truth.

"The Immortals, my lord. They are responsible for your son's death. And…"

He hesitated again.

"… the one who erased him from reality was none other than L."

The being's fury exploded.

His aura alone shattered the pillars around him, causing the very air to tremble.

"L…" he repeated, his voice laced with hatred.

His red-skinned face contorted into a cruel, vengeful expression.

He rose from his throne, standing at an immense height, his demonic armor reflecting the glow of a burning void behind him.

"I will not allow this insult to go unpunished."

He turned to his generals—ruthless warriors who had conquered entire galaxies in his name.

"Prepare the Scavenger Army. We march to Earth."

The Scavengers, a race of brutal, monstrous warriors, howled in anticipation.

They lived only for destruction, and their master's rage promised them a war unlike any other.

The father of Battle Beast, the Lord of the Abyss, was coming for vengeance.

And no one was ready.

Unaware of the Coming Storm

Back on Earth, the Immortals were completely unaware of the new threat approaching.

They continued their lives, enjoying the peace they had fought so hard for.

First Oak, Grandmaster Oak, and Giovanni sat together, discussing the future of the Immortals.

First Oak: "We've come a long way, haven't we? Each battle has only made us stronger."

Grandmaster Oak: "Yes, but strength alone is not enough. We must always be prepared. There will always be something more powerful waiting in the shadows."

Giovanni nodded.

Giovanni: "Still, this is the first time we've had peace in a long time. We should cherish it."

Little did they know…

A war unlike anything before was coming.

The Scavenger Army had begun its march.

And L's greatest test had yet to come.
