Ancient Revenge ARC
The universe had finally found peace. The great wars, the battles that shook the cosmos to its very core, had subsided. The ripples of those conflicts spread across the stars and dimensions, but now there was quiet. It had been 20 years since the divine war ended—20 years since the True God, L, had emerged from the very fabric of the universe to guide humanity and all sentient beings toward a new era.
Yet even in the tranquility that surrounded him, L felt the weight of eternity. His role, while god-like, was filled with the quiet sadness that only immortals knew. He had seen countless deaths, witnessed civilizations rise and fall, and felt the passing of time in ways no mortal ever could. And though he was now at peace, he couldn't shake the feeling that the calm before the storm was more ominous than ever.

The World Today: A New Dawn for Humanity
Humanity had flourished in the last two decades. Once a species on the brink of destruction, they now thrived in a world where science and spirituality had merged. With the guidance of L, their understanding of the universe and their place within it had expanded. Alien species that once seemed foreign and incomprehensible were now their friends, allies in the fight against the darkness of the multiverse.
The people of Earth had become part of a grander cosmic tapestry, woven into the lives of intergalactic species. But it wasn't just knowledge that humanity had gained. With the help of the Oak Family and their allies, Earth had developed technologies that bridged the gap between worlds. The planet now stood as a beacon of peace, the center of multiversal diplomacy.
The Multiversal Police, a collective force of powerful beings from all across the universe, were tasked with ensuring that balance was maintained. Their job was simple in theory: prevent crime across the multiverse. But with the sheer scope of the universe and its complexities, their work was far from easy. These enforcers came to Earth frequently, seeking guidance from L and the immortals. They recognized L as the true anchor of order—whether it was maintaining the delicate balance of the multiverse or providing counsel on the most complex of matters.

The Passing of Gray's Grandfather
But as peace settled over the world, it came with its own trials. Gray Oak, the last descendant of the mighty Oak Family, stood in the quiet sanctuary of his grandfather's room. The elderly immortal had passed away. He had seen the rise of the True God, L, and had led the Oak Family with wisdom and compassion for countless years. But now, his time had come.
His death was not one of sorrow for him—he had lived a full life. But for those left behind, the grief was palpable. Gray stood beside his family, staring at the lifeless body of the only person who had truly understood him, the one who had been both mentor and friend.
"L, do you believe there's a place for us beyond death?" Gray's voice was strained, as though asking the question to an entity that could never truly die.
L, his golden-brown eyes filled with a deep understanding of the pain that immortals sometimes carried, nodded quietly. "You know, Gray, I have seen countless lives end—beings far beyond your understanding. But the one thing that I've learned is this: death is not the end for those who are truly at peace. Your grandfather knew his time had come. His mission was complete."
Gray swallowed hard. "I don't know if I can go on without him."
"You are stronger than you think," L replied softly. "Your grandfather gave you more than his blood. He gave you his wisdom, his vision for a peaceful world. Now, it's time for you to carry that vision forward."
The words were kind, but they didn't stop the deep ache that settled in Gray's heart. His mentor, his best friend, was gone. But his duty remained—just as L had done, just as all immortals did. They carried on, for the sake of those who were left behind.

Life on Crycelia's Planet
Elsewhere, on the distant planet of Crycelia, a different kind of peace had taken root. The once-divided kingdoms had united under the rule of Queen Crycelia and her husband, Silver, the Prince of the first kingdom. The union had brought about an era of prosperity, and the two had built a life together, one that reflected the peace they fought for.
Their daughter, Silia, now 20 years old, stood at the threshold of adulthood, watching as her parents worked tirelessly to unite their people. She was an embodiment of the future—new, strong, and full of potential. The kingdoms had prospered under their reign, and there was a sense of stability that stretched across the stars.
"Mother," Silia asked one day, "do you ever worry that we are too complacent? That we've forgotten what it means to fight for our future?"
Crycelia smiled, her eyes holding a distant look. "We've come far, my daughter. But remember this: peace is hard-won, and it must be guarded. One day, you may face a challenge greater than any we've known."
Silia nodded, her resolve hardening. It was clear that even in this age of peace, the seeds of conflict were always waiting to sprout.

Godrex's Stories in Heaven
In the afterlife, Godrex, the Father of All Immortals, watched over the vast expanse of the universe from his ethereal realm. Surrounded by celestial beings, he recounted the tales of the universe's creation and the rise of the True God. His voice, deep and commanding, echoed through the heavens as he spoke of how L had guided the mortals and immortals alike to their current state of peace.
Godrex spoke not just as a god but as a storyteller, recounting the past to ensure that the lessons of the universe were not forgotten. His stories were not merely entertainment but a means of passing down wisdom to those who would come after him.
"Remember," Godrex said to the gathered crowd of divine beings, "the True God was not born from power or force. He was born from necessity—the necessity of balance, of hope. And in his image, the universe was forged. But that balance is fragile, and we must always be vigilant."

The Redemption of Team Ultra
Across the multiverse, Team Ultra had been given a second chance. The once-feared organization of merciless conquerors had been pardoned by L himself, and they had been sentenced to a 10-year punishment. But that punishment was more than just a prison sentence—it was a trial by fire, one that would either redeem them or destroy them.
L had seen something in them that others hadn't—a potential for change. And so, after 10 years of toil, of service to the multiverse, Team Ultra had slowly begun to gain the respect of those they had once terrorized.
At first, the multiverse had balked at the idea of trusting Team Ultra. But as they helped rebuild worlds, as they fought alongside the immortals to protect the innocent, something changed. The once-feared mercenaries were now seen as warriors of redemption.

A New Threat Emerges
But just as peace began to take root, a new, darker force began to stir. A shadow had crept into the universe, one that sought not redemption but destruction. This dark entity, empowered by omnipotence, sought only one thing: to overthrow the immortals and claim the universe for itself.
The entity's power was vast, but there was something else about it—something far more dangerous. It was not alone. Behind it stood a mysterious girl, her eyes glowing with a dark energy that seemed to resonate with the very fabric of the universe.
"I have waited long enough," the dark being murmured. "Now, the immortals will fall. This time, nothing will stand in my way."

Foreshadowing the Future
As the dark entity's presence grew stronger, L felt a disturbance in the very core of the universe. His golden-brown eyes narrowed, his senses alert to the new threat that loomed just beyond the horizon.
"It seems our peace was too fragile," L murmured, his voice a quiet warning. "But we will face this darkness as we always have. Together."
The world, the universe, and everything within it held its breath.

And so, the stage was set. The True God had guided them this far, but the greatest challenge of all was yet to come. The battle for the future of the multiverse was about to begin.
