[Across the wasteland, Asura wandered aimlessly.]
[Compared to the world he once knew, more than ten millennia ago, everything felt alien.]
[Directionless, he trudged through the choking sands, searching for a path called "hope."]
[Herrscher: "This whole world is already in collapse."]
[Ash Ketchum: "It's too barren… do humans even live here anymore?"]
[Huo Qubing: "This desert of storms and thunder… worse than any battlefield. No man should survive here."]
[Logic: "Don't worry, humanity never truly goes extinct. Like bugs, we always crawl back."]
[The vision shifted.]
[Within the Divine Realm, so different from the barren wasteland outside. It was all gold and splendor.]
[Inside the council chamber, the former Eight Divine Generals, now the Seven-Star Heaven, only six figures gathered.]
["It seems Asura has returned to life."]
["What? Impossible."]
["He's been dead over ten thousand years. How could he return?"]
["Oh? Now this is amusing."]
[Some scoffed, others doubted, and a few smiled with cruel interest.]
[Then their leader, Deus, rose to his feet.]
["Silence. He's nothing but an ancient relic. Our power has far surpassed the age of the Eight Generals."]
["To think that we once struggled against a single Abominator… ha! How graceless."]
["I've already sent Huaxian to handle him. Leave it be."]
["I can already picture Asura's face, shocked, realizing the foes he once rivaled are now beyond his reach."]
["He will tremble before the Seven-Star Heaven."]
[Eren: "Damn… if they're right, Asura might not stand a chance."]
[Ancient One: "Their strength must've been swollen by that 'True Word' power."]
[Ye Xiu: "It's like when a top-ranked player gets banned for years, then comes back and everyone else has out-leveled and out-geared him. How's he supposed to compete?"]
[Riven: "Strength isn't everything. Faith, conviction, that's what turns battles."]
[Naruto: "Yeah! Don't underestimate Asura's bond with his daughter, you bastards!"]
[V: "Weird… these Seven-Star guys look like they've had cybernetic upgrades."]
[Tony Stark: "True. Their bodies are covered in lines like circuitry. Maybe 'True Word' corruption?"]
[Back to the wasteland.]
[At last, Asura stumbled upon a small village and humans still lived here.]
[But just as he arrived, Abominators attacked the villagers.]
[Nothing had changed. Even after ten thousand years, the world was still hell.]
[Deus… was this your 'greater good'?]
[His rage boiled over. He remembered his wife's murder, his daughter's imprisonment, all in the name of that so-called justice.]
[With fire erupting from his fists, Asura slaughtered every Abominator in sight.]
[But then!]
[A golden airship descended from the sky.]
[The villagers dropped to their knees, chanting "The gods have come! The gods will save us!"]
[But these gods came not to save, but to hunt.]
["Traitor Asura, you've revived, after all."]
["Your sins are unforgivable. I will cleanse them in divine judgment!"]
[From the ship emerged soldiers, led by one of the Seven-Star Heaven: Huaxian.]
["Asura, tremble before me! The Seven-Star Heaven are the true rulers of this world, standing atop all!"]
[He charged. The clash began.]
[Angel Yan: "Hah! Those villagers begged for salvation, and the 'gods' came only to capture him."]
[Iwamori: "If Asura hadn't been here, they never would've bothered at all."]
[Keqing: "Lost in their own power… I pray our Liyue Qixing never becomes like this."]
[Harry Potter: "Can Asura really beat him?"]
[Bruce Wayne: "Huaxian's arrogance is his weakness. Asura will find his opening."]
Resident Evil Village
Inside the Lady Dimitrescu Castle, Ethan Winters watched the golden screen."Asura fights with everything for his daughter… just like me.
"His heart pounded. "I'll overcome my fear too. I'll save my daughter.
"He felt a strange kinship, the murdered wife, the stolen child. And so, silently, Ethan cheered Asura on.
["Asura, your strength is nothing but a fossil from ten thousand years past!"]
[Huaxian sneered as his blow hurled Asura across the field.]
[But then!]
[WHAM! Asura's flaming fist struck back, sending Huaxian's bloated form crashing and rolling across the ground.]
["How… how do you still have such power?!"]
[Huaxian was in disbelief. He had ascended beyond the old days. By reason alone, Asura should have been powerless.]
[But Asura still fought with blazing might.]
["I'll start with you. One by one, I'll destroy you all."]
[His fury burned into strength, fueling his revenge.]
[The battle raged. Shockwaves shattered mountains, and split the earth.]
[The more they fought, the more Huaxian's heart shaked. Asura's strength defied all his expectations.]
[Snarling, Huaxian released his true power.]
[Golden light engulfed him as his form expanded, towering as a mountain.]
["Second Form, Diamond Huaxian!"]
