In the last episode, we saw how Ketama and the others were in serious trouble. Suddenly, Lord Shri Ram and Lord Hanuman appeared. The old man finally realized that he could no longer escape his fate.
Present Time
After realizing the truth, the old man tried to run away. But Lord Hanuman instantly destroyed him.
"You are an evil person," Lord Hanuman said. "You have committed many sins. Your life ends here. Go to hell."
Then Lord Shri Ram and Lord Hanuman turned toward Ekai.
"You too have committed many wrong deeds," Lord Shri Ram said calmly. "But we are not here to punish you. You must stay alive, because in the future another war will begin… a war greater than anything in history."
After saying this, both divine beings disappeared.
A moment later, Ekai and the others returned to the normal world. Everyone was badly injured from the battle.
Suddenly, an old bus stopped near them. A strange man stepped out and said,
"You all are coming with us."
Akaio immediately replied, "No."
The man pointed a baseball bat at Akaio's neck.
"If you refuse, I'll crush your head."
With no choice, everyone entered the bus.
Akaio sighed. "What bad luck, bruh. We just survived a huge fight without any rest, and now this again."
Then Akaio whispered to Ekai and Ketama,
"We need to escape. We don't know who these people are, and we're not in condition to fight. When I say jump… jump."
The others nodded.
A few moments later—
BOOM!
The bus suddenly exploded.
The bus suddenly exploded.
"JUMP!" Akaio shouted.
For the first time, Akaio's true power was revealed.
Around him appeared nearly one hundred thousand terrifying creatures. The monsters rushed toward the mysterious man, trying to tear him apart.
But the man only smiled wickedly.
With a single swing of his bat, he crushed the creatures effortlessly.
Then he slowly began walking forward…
Suddenly—
He moved at the speed of sound.
In a single second, he reached Akaio and kicked him straight through several buildings.
The man laughed.
He pointed his bat toward Akaio's head.
"Goodbye, brother."
But before he could attack—
BOOOOM!
A massive explosion destroyed the entire area.
A mysterious man appeared silently and took everyone away.
Mansion of Peace
When Akaio opened his eyes, he found himself inside a huge peaceful mansion.
"Who are you?" Akaio asked carefully.
The man replied,
"Don't worry. My name is Hikamo. My master wishes to meet all of you."
As they walked through the mansion, Akaio looked around in confusion.
"Where are we? This place feels strangely peaceful."
Hikamo smiled.
"This is the Mansion of Peace."
Soon, they entered a giant hall where an old man was praying to the gods.
Everyone bowed respectfully except Ekai and the others, who remained standing.
The old man opened his eyes and calmly said,
"It is fine. You are guests here. Come, sit."
Ekai then asked,
"Who was the man that attacked us?"
The old man answered,
"His name is Toyomi… the world's strongest assassin and captain of Team Shadow."
Ketama looked shocked.
"He can defeat the whole world?"
The old man nodded.
"Yes. Because he possesses the power of the 70th Tail."
Akaio frowned.
"What is the 70th Tail?"
"Just as Akaio controls creatures, Toyomi controls Tails. Tails are ancient monsters far stronger than normal creatures."
"But how can one Tail make him powerful enough to destroy the world?" Ekai asked.
The old man closed his eyes.
"I will tell you the story of the 70th Tail…"
The Story of the 70th Tail
"In 53 BCE, there existed a hidden village where the Tails lived peacefully. Each Tail possessed unimaginable power.
One day, Toyomi discovered the village and attacked it.
He absorbed almost every Tail into his own body.
But one remained undefeated…
The 70th Tail.
It was too powerful even for Toyomi.
Then Toyomi threatened the Tail.
'If you refuse to come with me,' he said, 'I will kill everyone in this village.'
To protect the others, the 70th Tail surrendered and joined Toyomi.
And that… is how Toyomi became powerful enough to defeat the entire world."
The room fell silent.
And for the first time—
Fear appeared in Akaio's eyes.
