James hastened to reach his beloved's side, slowly kneeling to enfold her in his arms. His hands, his fingers, and his whole body trembled violently as tears streamed down his face.
"Elizabeth, please wake up. Don't leave me alone. I plead to God, let the one I love live. It would be better for me to lose my life than for my lover to lose hers. Let me take her place and return to You," James wept, his tears like melting ice when the season changes.
James bowed his head and uttered a heartfelt prayer that seemed to rise up to the heavens. His words were so sincere that it felt like a final arrow shot from his bow, vibrating the throne of the Almighty and asking for mercy to give the two soulmates one last chance to speak to each other.
Elizabeth, who had been lying still in James' lap, suddenly seemed to gain some strength and stretched out her hands, lightly touching James' cheek with her fingers which were now directionless. Confusion and sadness engulfed him.
"James, what a beautiful speech," Elizabeth stammered in awe. James could hardly believe the miracle before him, his eyes wide with wonder.
"Elizabeth..." James uttered, his voice quavering with emotion. Tears streaming down his face, he reached out and took her hand in his. "Just stay with me a little longer. I'm going to call an ambulance and they'll take you to the hospital."
Elizabeth gave him a faint smile and shook her head. "Shh..." she whispered softly. "James, it's okay. Please, just hold me."
James nodded and enveloped her in his arms. He felt the warmth of her body against his and he vowed to himself that he would stay by her side for as long as she needed him. "I promise," he murmured. "I'll hold you as long as you need me to."
Elizabeth, her voice soft and weak, said, “I want you to promise me that you will live a meaningful life, be kind and compassionate to others, and take care of yourself, even if I am not here. No matter how hard it may be, never do anything without purpose. Do this for me, so I can be sure that you will stay safe and happy.”
James, his eyes filled with tears, nodded solemnly and replied, “I promise. I will never do anything without meaning. I will live a meaningful life and be kind and compassionate to all.” “Elizabeth, I will make any promise you wish,” James declared, his voice shaking. “I will even bring the moon before you or move a mountain, if it will make you happy.”
Hearing James' words, Elizabeth's smile grew wider. Accompanied by the twilight of the rain, he who was about to be taken from her showed a face as elegant as an angel. As if he himself was sincerely resigned to his fate if he had to go right then and there.
"No James, you don't have to do that," Elizabeth said, her voice thick with emotion. "For me living with you has been like a beautiful dream. You've done more than enough for this wilted flower, thank you so much for taking me to a paradise garden full of happiness." This time Elizabeth's tears were seeping out of the corners of her eyes. Her breath began to wheeze and choke because of the crying. With everything she had, Elizabeth continued her words. "Promise me, James..." She stuttered as if she could no longer hold back the death that had come to take her away.
James sobbed, his tears streaming down his face. He reached into his pocket, pulling out an envelope with the symbol of a hospital printed on it. It was a medical letter, containing the results of the examination. Elizabeth looked at him with a look of relief, knowing that the contents of the letter would bring hope and peace to James. She breathed her last, her spirit returning to the Most Merciful.
James was overwhelmed with grief as he realized his beloved was gone forever. His tears broke the silence as he wept, mourning the loss of his soulmate. He clutched the medical letter tightly in his hand, hoping it would bring him some comfort in this harsh moment.
***
The next day, after Elizabeth's funeral, it began to rain again. All of Elizabeth's relatives, friends and parents had gathered to pay their last respects and to provide her with a peaceful and eternal final resting place.
As everyone sobbed and wept, James remained silent with a blank stare; not a single tear came out of his eyes. His face was pale and sad, but there was no sign of tears. Instead, his chest was filled with vengeance and anger, and his tears had dried. As one by one the black umbrellas left the cemetery, so did James.
James had no parents since he was a small child; a tragic car accident had taken both of them. His relatives lived far away, so the only family he had left were Elizabeth and the baby she was expecting. Now he was alone, sobbing in a silent, desolate grief.
"Come on, James," said William Baines, Elizabeth's father. "It's time to go back home. You need to rest."
“William is right, James," added Victoria Baines, Elizabeth's mother. "You need to take some time to grieve. Even though it is difficult and painful, you must let Elizabeth go.”
James remained motionless, not uttering a single word. His expression displayed a deep sadness as he gazed upon the grave of his beloved partner. Despite the emotion that seemed to envelope him, he could not shed a single tear. The sky seemed to respond to his sorrow, as it unleashed a torrent of rain which replaced the tears that he could not shed.
"It would be great if Papa and Mama could come back soon," James said softly. "I still want to be here a little while longer."
William and Victoria looked at each other with a heavy heart. They had finally made the decision to leave James alone in the middle of the funeral.
"He's been through so much," Victoria said softly.
William nodded in agreement. "I know. I wish we could do something," he said.
They watched as James knelt down over Elizabeth's tomb. He spoke of his love for her, their unborn child, and his vow to avenge her death. His voice broke with emotion as he rose to leave the cemetery.
William and Victoria looked at each other silently, their hearts filled with sorrow and compassion. They knew they couldn't take away the pain James was going through, but they could offer him their support. As James walked away, they silently vowed to stand by him in his time of need.
He called for a taxi to take him to Ye Olde Friar, an old bar that was renowned throughout the City of London. It had been in existence for almost five centuries, boasting a thick medieval ambience. Unbeknownst to many, it also served as a clandestine bank for the underworld and an information center.
The rain had since abated, leaving behind a bone-chilling chill. James stepped out of the taxi and walked up to the door of Ye Olde Friar, umbrella in hand, his expression solemn. He slowly turned the doorknob, almost as though he felt that it was a portal to the past.
All eyes were on James as he entered the bar, La Order Friar. This seemingly innocuous establishment was actually a gathering place for all sorts of nefarious characters: businesspeople, mobsters, gangsters, and even government officials and law enforcement officers. Everyone who was connected to the darker side of life was sure to be found at La Order Friar.
The bar's patrons, who were mostly long-time customers, were familiar with James' face. Five years ago, he had been the leader of a powerful gang, but then he disappeared without a trace after the gang's dissolution.
“Well, well, look who it is,” said Freddie Antonio. “Allfather, it's been a long time since we've seen you. Where have you been all this time?”

Chapter 173 - The Lost Jewel (The End)
The dead man suddenly woke up in an all-white room. James, who didn't realize that he had annihilated an entire dimension, thought he was in the same dimension where he was about to swallow the power of eternal fire.James looked right and left, "Come out Surtr, the same game won't work for me," he said.Not long after, a huge sound echoed throughout the room as the place transformed into a space landscape filled with galaxies and stars."Where do you think you are James? This is not Surtr's dimension," said the voice.Soon the figure behind the voice also appeared, which turned out not to be Surtr. His form was much different from the Fire Giant King. He, who had not yet introduced himself, revealed a form that was so majestic. His wings numbered hundreds of pieces, stretched from end to end, white robes full of light, and had such a large embodiment. The power he exuded was unquestionable, so great was the power emanating from him that it far surpassed even the evolved Chairman Kenr

I don't know what he is feeling right now, but there are various things that are filling his head due to the great disaster caused by Chairman Kenrich, the first master and one of the people he used to trust the most.The death of millions of people around the world is a heartbreaking thing. There were children who lost their parents, parents who lost their children, siblings who lost their siblings, and lovers who were separated from their soulmates.The ongoing disasters and chaos around the world have also worsened the chances of survivors.

Chapter 171 - The Last War 5
Those who were struck by the black-colored spears did not just die, their bodies would be left alive for a while until they finally died from the fire until they were scorched to dust. The human population, which was originally no less than seven billion in less than a minute, was drastically reduced to only seventy million.Ninety-nine percent of the human population was wiped out in an instant by the attack launched by Chairman Kenrich. His title as the strongest entity was not just a title, he carried out the massive attack that almost wiped out the entire human population as if it was nothing to him. His breath was as breathless as ever, not even a drop of sweat appeared on him and his state was still the same as it was before he unleashed his great power.Instead of being afraid, James was furious because of this. To him, Chairman Kenrich was not the person who should be passing judgment on humans or demons, especially since none of the gods were affected by the attack."Dammit,
Chapter 170 - The Last War 4
Just before Chairman Kenrich launched his attack, Samael came crashing in with his full-body materialization technique. The deputy lucifer had predicted that his colleagues' attacks would not succeed in reaching Chairman Kenrich. So he took a step back to activate his abilities.In that instant, it seemed that Samael was not the only one who saw the opportunity to attack Chairman Kenrich. From the opposite direction of his attack, James also came with his full power."Got ya!" said James.The Odin Allfather, who realized he was in a tight spot, used his time control ability. With a single stroke of his gungnir spear, the area around him was slowed down.This power would have been very effective against an ordinary being like Samael, but it would have been completely ineffective against James. He continued to move at the same speed because the power of the eternal flame he used annihilated any influence from outside James' body.TRANG! TRANG! James' sword and Chairman Kenrich's Tomban
Chapter 169 - The Last War 3
James then sped up, directing his feet towards Scarlet. As quickly as possible and as much as he could, he had to reach the sephiroth tree to destroy all the fragments that were now on Scarlet's chest.With the chaos that existed in that place, James continued to dodge the various attacks that came at him. It was not easy to move amidst the crowd of creatures from other dimensions, who were currently fighting an all-out battle to annihilate each other. But then Brandr suddenly appeared beside James."I know your goal is to get to the sephiroth tree. Let us open the way for you, sir," Brandr said."All right, Brandr, do it! We must immediately prevent this great war from escalating," said James.Brandr then ordered the Fire giants to make a way for James. He who was previously near the sephiroth tree, was pushed back far enough to be hundreds of meters away from the tree.With the fire giants opening the way, the crowd that was blocking the way for James was cleared. After a while, a s
Chapter 168 - The Last War 2
"Listen to me, you selfish bastards who don't care about the fate of the world. I know you are so disgusted with this world that you want to destroy it. But are you willing for the world to be destroyed by other entities and not by your own hands? I say again, are you willing for this world to be destroyed by entities other than humans?!" Samael said loudly.The speech was then immediately responded to by the devil worshipers with a spirit that was shouted together. Now the human side is no longer divided, all of them are fighting with the same goal, namely to temporarily protect the world. Even though the devil worshipers still want to destroy the world, but they can at least delay it until this war ends.James, who was helped by Samael's words, was finally able to focus on preventing the disaster in that place from expanding. Although not much, but at least the demon worshippers will be able to provide assistance to prevent the great war of Ragnarok from expanding.It was only momen
