It was as if fate had played a cruel joke on him.

Yet, there was nothing Ash could do but sigh heavily.

With this comedic conclusion in mind, Ash momentarily forgot to fight as his foe’s spike aimed for his back from his shadow’s hand!

“Ash!”

Hana appeared in time, shielding the slower Ash with her body and deflecting the attack entirely.

“Why are these things targeting me? What’s the point when I’m not even the biggest threat!”

Realizing the abnormality, Hana knew that Ash should be the priority target as he was less experienced. Why were they ignoring the more powerful ‘Tomorrow Energy’? Normally he would be their main objective!

“Ugh—!”

Shoving out the pink vortex from her palms, Hana blew away the shadows encircling Ash, then dragged him away quickly.

Why are these entities focused on Ash now? Do they want something from him?

Naive or not, Hana knew she had to stop this regardless of the consequences.

“Wait, wrong approach!” Ash cried, almost yanked backwards by Hana.

These ‘Volatile Energies’ were revived because of her, the vessel filled with countless “Dark Echoes”. Reeling from near defeat, they sought her and the “Cure Yell” to increase the darkness even further!

His theory chilled his spine. But why didn’t the Volatile Energies attack immediately after he entered this world?!

Bearing an uneasy look behind his silver mask, Ash and Hana kept their distance from the Volatile Energies. He suddenly recalled his past actions.

That day, to save Hana, he shattered the “Future Crystals”, symbols of this world’s Tomorrow Energy!

Then, instead of seeking validation, he gave the power back to Hana. In doing so, did he destroy his own future by being seen like the “Cure Yell” who lost hope?

“So, you’re vulnerable,” Ash thought, unprotected without Tomorrow Energy.

He wanted to protect Hana.

But around him, Hana couldn’t catch her breath or live in peace.

“Snap—” Holding a swordform DV Guardian, Ash severed the darkness before him. Watching the shadows fade, he pondered.

If he’d crushed every Volatile Energy at birth—

“Ash…”

The broken darkness reformed right before him, its distorted hand reaching out, but Hana stopped it just in time.

“Impossible.”

Even so, my existence keeps spawning these negative things.

“It can’t be helped,” Ash murmured.

Despite being peaceful and nurturing善良的人，这个所谓的”温情”世界…

但实际上，甚至比充斥着”Hora”和”负面怪”的世界更加残酷。
