Being side by side for the first time, Renjun, Luoyang, and Zhenya fought hard against Xinyi.

Even though they were fighting for their lives, they were having fun. Fighting with their son made both Luoyang and Zhenya exceptionally happy. They really enjoyed seeing how much he'd grown, in the time they'd been absent from his life.

Renjun felt his friends and family cheering him on back on Ethora, and that in turn made him stronger. Not even a few minutes into the fight though, Renjun's form had changed completely. He took on his complete Nephalem form, becoming incredibly powerful.

The right side of his body had been consumed by his demonic powers, while his left side had been consumed by his angelic powers. His now two toned hair however, had reversed sides.

The white half of his hair resided on his right, while the black half of his hair resided on the left.

He had one wing of a demon, and one of an angel, as well as one horn of a demon, and half the halo of an angel.

He even grew an additional tail. His first tail was completely black, while the new tail was black with a white tip. Finally, two plant marks rested on his cheeks, and his eyes had changed to grey and orange.

Renjun couldn't believe that he was missing out on so much power all this time.

All of the power was slowly getting to him, but he remembered Louis's words and was able to maintain full control over it.

In the time they were battling, Xinyi had also taken his full demon form, transforming into a true demonic beast.

But even in this form, he was still being overpowered by the three. This made his fear and rage grow over time.

At one point after he transformed, Xinyi's Oni head disappeared, but soon reappeared behind Renjun to attack him. But, Renjun was able to hear it as soon as it appeared, and destroyed it with one hit.

'This power, is Absolute Hearing. The power to hear everything that happens, no matter how far and no matter the conditions.'

"T-This can't be happening...! Y-You shouldn't be this powerful! THAT POWER SHOULD BE MINE-"

"Time stop"

Renjun got tired of Xinyi's constant complaining, and stopped time completely.

Only he and his parents could move in this current space. Luoyang shot an enlarged arrow at him, while both Zhenya and Renjun slashed him with their swords.

As soon as the arrow hit Xinyi and collided with the slashes, Renjun snapped his fingers and returned time to normal.

This in turn, created a large explosion that engulfed Xinyi completely.

'This power, is Meta Time Manipulation. The power to manipulate time of all realities.'

Xinyi tried to attack them once more after the explosion disappeared, but his power suddenly began to dwindle significantly. He unwillingly changed back to his first form, and fell to his knees.

Zhenya was about to finish him, but Renjun stopped him.

"I'll handle this myself"

Zhenya smiled and nodded, thinking that Renjun was going to end Xinyi on his own, but he was mistaken.

Renjun was never the type to kill other people.

He stood in front of Xinyi, but then turned slightly to face his parents, and smiled.

"Mom, Dad. I'm sorry, but this might be the last time you see me. Tell Suko that I had to do this, and that I love her"

"Renjun, what are you-"

Before Luoyang could finish her question, Renjun snapped his fingers and teleported them to the others.

This was the second time that he used his Meta Teleportation, and he felt yet another wave of weakness and pain come over him, far more intense than the first wave.

Nevertheless, he turned back to Xinyi, to confront him on his own.

"G-Go on... You have me right where you want me... Just..., h-hurry up and get it over with..."

Xinyi gave up trying to fight back, but Renjun spared him, refusing to kill him.

"W-What are you waiting for...?"

Renjun just weakly brought him into a hug.

"I know your real intentions uncle. Dad isn't here to attack you. You can tell me what you really want"

Renjun comforted him.

Xinyi did nothing at first, but soon hugged his nephew back, being in his warm embrace for the first time.

He soon let go and they sat in front of each other, Xinyi explaining everything to Renjun.

He really only wanted to be with his brother again, but he knew that Zhenya wouldn't accept him. He became sad and outraged and sought to destroy him.

However, it wasn't what he really wanted to do.

He never wanted to control innocent people, and he never wanted to harm his family, especially not his brother.

He just wanted his family back.

Renjun could feel his own power beginning to fade, so he decided to do Xinyi a favor. He combined his last two powers together to help Xinyi.

He purified is aching heart, returning it to a time when he had only love for Zhenya. And he restored not only his strength, but also his body, to a time before he was killed by Zhenya.

He had restored Xinyi back to normal, to the way he was before all of this mess began.

The two Oni heads he had previously returned to their original forms, as Demon Onigiris. And Xinyi returned to his first original demon form.

'These powers, are Omni Purification and Absolute Restoration. The power to purify anything and everything, as well as the ability to restore anything back to its natural and original state.'

"There. You'll have a better shot of getting him back now...~"

Renjun smiled, feeling his power dwindle even more.

"Nephew... I... Thank you, so much... How can I ever repay y-"

Renjun suddenly groaned and fell over, clutching his chest.

He was changing back to normal at an alarming rate, and it was getting harder for him to breathe now.

Using all of his new powers in one battle without letting his body properly adjust, ultimately made his body weaker. And teleporting everyone as far away as Ethora, did the most damage to his body.

"Your power... W-What have I done...? We have to get you back quick! B-But..., my power can't reach Ethora from here... Renjun......"

"D-Don't worry about me. I'll get us back..."

He tried standing up, but fell back down.

"Are you crazy?! I know you noticed it too! Teleporting the others all the way to Ethora is only making you weaker! You've already used it twice! If you use it just one more time, then......you'll die..."

Renjun stayed silent.

He did know that, but he didn't care.

"No... I won't let you do this! I-I'll use another ring! Yeah! Let me just-"

He reached into his pockets to find another ring, but he gave his last one to Renjun to bring him here.

He had no way to get them back now.

"I-It's ok! I'll just find another way to get us back-"

"No"

Renjun held onto Xinyi, and successfully stood up.

"I-It's my duty to save everyone in need... I've saved everyone else so far. But, I still haven't saved you"

Xinyi knew exactly what he meant.

He can only completely save Xinyi, if he reunites him with his family.

"I can feel it. Dad is waiting for you back on Ethora, as well as your son"

"Leiyong..."

Xinyi still protested that he'd find a way to keep Renjun from using the last of his strength, but to no avail.

Renjun held Xinyi's hand, and gathered up the last of his remaining strength. He brought his fingers together, ready to use his power, one final time.

"Renjun! Don't do this! I can save you! I'm sorry for what I've done to make it come to this! I'll do anything, j-just don't do this nephew!"

Xinyi pleaded, but Renjun only smiled.

"I'm sorry...~"

Before Xinyi could stop him, Renjun snapped his fingers.

-

-

Renjun and Xinyi reappeared on Ethora, but not with the others.

They reappeared in a field of flowers not too far from everyone else. Renjun didn't have enough power to teleport them to the right place.

Xinyi was fine, but Renjun had seen far better days.

He stared up at the sky, watching the clouds go by. He had completely turned back to normal, but he had almost no power left.

He couldn't move his body, and his breathing had slowed significantly, almost to the point of stopping.

Xinyi was panicking, trying to keep Renjun from closing his eyes, but Renjun only smiled at his uncle, not seeming to have a care in the world.

Xinyi calmed himself down and tried to pinpoint the others' location. He soon pinpointed Zhenya's power.

He gently picked up Renjun, and immediately ran in the direction he felt his brothers power.

"Renjun... Please don't die on us... Y-You mean the world to us all... Don't l-leave us all behind, please......"

Xinyi pleaded, crying as he continued running.

Renjun wanted to stay awake, but he quickly grew tired. His eyelids became heavy, and his power had now completely left him.

"I won't.... I.....p-promise.........."

He softly stated,

before closing his eyes.
