Seeing Walter disappeared as the pile of destroyed Xy’phers crumbled, Detective Spawn looked around. “Stay alert. I don’t see him anywhere.” He informed the others. “Walter has a very predictable movement, so I should be able to determine where he’ll try to opened his next set of portals—” Before finishing his sentence, Spawn felt his entire body froze.
He couldn’t speak, or even move his pupils. “What?” The hellspawn thought to himself. He felt a immense pressure of energy billowing up around his body. His cloak and his ghouls, without Spawn controlling them, squirm erratically in attempt to force him to move. Soon after, Spawn felt his body flung back, crashing into various debris until his back slammed against Bernkastel. “Argh!!” He let out an inaudible grunt. “Damn Psychic powers…!” He expressed his disdain.
Cuki crashed against his stomach, causing him to cringe slightly. And got headbutted by Berserk right afterwards. His cloak was detached itself from the hellspawn and attempted to pull him out from the compact circle of pure psychic energy. But due to various debris hurling in its way, and due to how heavy Cuki, Vegetto and Berserk were, it proves very difficult to release Spawn from that powerful psychic grasp without using force.
“Don’t… we’ll find another way…” Spawn spoke to the cloak with his mind. “Should I do it now? No… I can sense Bernkastel behind me. What’s taking you so long?”

As horde of Xy’phers jumped forward, Spina flashed his violet aura briefly, pushing them away with ease. “No more excuses.” The older Saiyan scolded the Detective. “Either you put it up or stay out of the way. Go mop elsewhere.” As Vegetto used Spina’s chest as a springboard to gain momentum towards Panich, he simply let out a grunt. It left a feet impression on his chest as a result as the wave of rocks burrowed behind him.
Spina held Bage close to his face, his eyes fierce with determination. “You’re a Saiyan, right? You’re a Detective, right? You’re a warrior, right?! Are you satisfied with just leaving things because your heart isn’t in it?” Spina stared at Bage’s eyes. A simple glance, he knew the deeper aspect of what his situation. “Then tell your heart to beat it. She needs you, right?”
The older Saiyan turns to the battle between Vegetto and Panich; they were going back and forth, but none could secure a upper hand. The rising power of dark energy; however, piques his curiosity. “Out of my way, fusion. This is my—” His eyes narrowed, unable to let out anymore words in. His body completely froze. “Huh?!” He thought to himself. He noticed that the others were the same way—only exception was Panich.
Moments later, Spina felt his body was levitating against his will. He attempt to force himself to remain on the ground, but it was a futile effort. He was hurled into the air, crashing into the compact ball with the others; due to grabbing Bage’s hair, he pulled him along for the ride. He crashed against Berserk and Vegetto.
“Arggh!!!” Spina forced his pupils to dart around, looking down at the Red King who made his declaration of ending the battle. “Don’t… fuck with me.” He said in his mind with disdain. He roared loudly, and the flames surrounding his face spread like a wild storm. As Nia’s barrier collapsed due to the continuous barrage of debris slamming against it, Spina’s raging flames spread out to act as a cushion to lessen damage taken, blowing up any debris close enough. Even though his body was starting to twist in strange places, Spina still rages on. “You think… twisting me… can kill me…!?”
“Dumbass, watch where you spread those things--!” Spawn thought to himself, still thinking of a way to take out of the situation. The hellspawn felt his entire body started to consort, twist and turn in places not meant to be turned. “Shit…!”

Lucifer smirks. “Well, this was quite an interesting development.”
“I shall free them.” Lilith said, but Lucifer shake his head side-to-side.
“You’ll get caught in that psychic grasp.” Lucifer warned. “Besides… I believe we’re about to see the real show.”
[Plane of Clear Mind]
Guardian nod once when Bernkastel did not react to anything regarding to Gogeta’s death nor Vegetto’s dishonesty. “You’re the first to pass this threshold. Consider me… impressed.” She smirks, but it leaves a hollow feeling to it. There was nothing “genuine” behind that smile.
She took several steps back and pressed her hands on her pelvis, revealing it to be her “eye”. The pupil narrowed, as rainbow colors flashed before Bernkastel.
“The one that lurks in the darkness. He was before my time. Even before Jinaira’s time. Or Voice, as you referred him as such.” Guardian said. “His presence alone can bring down entire worlds.” Behind Bernkastel, there was a single ball of light. It quickly transformed into the creature that Bernkastel saw in the Red King’s demonstration.
It was gigantic—it easily eclipses even Guardian in terms of sheer size. The creature had a purple body; red and black roots growing out from the back. His multiple eyes, including his “main eye” on his chest were bright red.
“The creature you see now is lifeless. This is where Clear Mind comes in.” Guardian explains. “To create an authentic illusion, you need to ensure you capture everything as accurately as possible. Even their mannerism and body language, to make it as true to actual reality. Otherwise, it’ll fail, and your enemies will see right through you.”
Guardian’s main eye widened its pupil. “To demonstrate.” Her tone deepens. “A creature that detest the mortal world. A creature that detests the concept of life. A creature that sought to devoured life to feed its own ambitions. The creature venture into the darkness, waiting for anyone to tempt their endless desire. His presence oozes a cold aura, freezing everything in its path—both physically and mentally.”
Suddenly, the lifeless body sprung to life and slammed both hands against the ground. The coldness aura brimming from it, causing chills around the two. Even the darkness, somehow, froze. As it stood up in an uncanny manner, it spoke, strikingly like its tone during the Red King’s demonstration.
After a slight pause, the creature disappeared into particles as Guardian’s main eye closes. “With Clear Mind, you can easily extract information from anyone for this purpose. Say a few words about their traits, personality and their ambitions, and you’ll form an illusion so real that its impossible to tell otherwise. Of course, this is incredibly taxing on the body at your level, little one, so you will only be able to pull it off once.” Guardian looks up briefly. “For now, simply recite what I said…, and if you have something extra, feel free too. Any who, good luck.”
He couldn’t speak, or even move his pupils. “What?” The hellspawn thought to himself. He felt a immense pressure of energy billowing up around his body.

“Dance in the cold, lost. Burn you with flames, Come.”
“Seek me.”
