Chapter 55: "Land of the Rising Sun."
---
This chapter began with all the people around the world rushing out of their underground homes to see a circular red light that amazed and surprised them as it gave warmth to all. This round red object that warms the world can be compared to a sun that everyone can see up close.
All the people in different parts of the world talked about it as if there was wonder.

"Is this a miracle of God?!"
"Maybe. We save by our God!"
A 16-year-old woman named Stedelen (a teenage fortune teller mentioned in Chapter 14) is looking at the sun created by Ashura with her elders.

Somewhere in Africa.
---
"It's very close if you look at it, but it doesn't burn our bodies."
"It's scary if you look at this great creation of God to save us!"

Tokyo City, Japan.
---
"Is this a new sun for us!"
"Maybe. If you observe it, it looks like it came from our own country."
"So, does this mean a new beginning for us?!"
"Are we safe now?!"
"Not yet, until our God calmed the ocean's wrath!"

The scene shifted to where Ashura and his group are.
"Brother Ashura, look up!"
"Yes, brother, I see."
"Is this a great miracle of our God?!"
"Maybe."
"So God is real after our setback in life?!"
"Hmm. Well, now I will start believing that there is a God."
All of Ashura's brothers were surprised by what he said because they knew that he was one of those who opposed the belief that there was a God.
"Wha, what, brother?!"
"Are you changed now?!"
"Listen, brothers, to everything that has happened in our lives, pains, patience, and suffering to change our country. Brothers, look at that burning sun because this is the time for us to change!
All its members and chief brotherhood were amazed and delighted at what Ashura said.
"Listen, all of you brothers and sisters! Starting today, in front of that burning light, we will create a new beginning, symbolizing our true freedom!"
Everyone shouted in agreement with what Ashura wanted to happen.
While the brothers were having fun and celebrating, Ashura spoke in his mind.
"I hope this is enough to save everyone. It is such a rare fire that I created with the guidance of an almighty God."

Ben seemed grave on his face as he walked towards the stairs of their underground home. He forcefully lifted Catalina and Shin-su in his arms, who were unconscious because of what happened.
Xiang Sanders and his son Cao Xi met him when he got off. Ben slowly lowered the two to the floor and hurriedly walked towards Cao Xi.
"How are you, son? What happened?!"
Xiang Sanders asked Ben, but he ignored her. Right in front of Cao Xi, his fist hit his face. Cao Xi fell to the floor and was about to get up and take revenge when his mother, Xiang Sanders, stopped him.
"What's wrong, young man?! Why did you do that!"
"Why, grandma?! Look at these two! They almost died because of that incident, and what about him? He puts his pride first! Why is it so hard for your son to trust us for the sake of this world!"
"I apologize. I did everything to break his heart, but nothing happened!"
Xiang Sanders cried in front of Ben, and after a few seconds, Cao Xi replied angrily.
"Haha, why are you mad?! If I help all of you, you can save the world?! Isn't it, according to the news, that the angry waves stopped on their own, not because of the powers of the weak? Then, Mother, why did you apologize to him? You shouldn't cry in front of this damn shit! If anyone should apologize, it's him!
Xiang Sander slapped Cao Xi's face for what he said.
"Damn you, Cao Xi! How many times do I have to tell you to trust them?!
After watching him for a few seconds, Ben just turned around and grabbed his forehead to leave their home.
Cao Xi wiped his hand with its blood on his lips and licked it.
"That's a blow?! It's fragile."
Afterward, he smiled strangely and returned to his room while his mother cared for Shin-su and Catalina.
The scene shifts to the Dougan family's home in Equatorial Guinea.

Pedro and Maria were wearing thick clothes, and their hands held each other because Pedro was seriously ill from the cold and his fishing habit.
"Darling, it's good that the ocean's anger has subsided. Get well and be strong, darling."
Maria said with concern. Then, she parted her husband's hair and held her breath because of her feelings.
"Darling, no matter what happens, don't ever tell our son about my condition."
Pedro said in his soft and slow voice because of his illness.
"Yes darling, I believe in the man Shin-su."
"Me too, darling; I know he won't break his promise."

Flashback.

At the house of our protagonist in China
---
The past begins with the scene after the situation in the Chaoren Arena, a famous martial arts arena in China.
Shin-su lies on his bed and faints from what happened. A few seconds later, Catalina's phone rang and she saw the name Maria Dougan.
"Miyo?! You got called?"
"My daughter, how are you? I miss you so much."
Pedro stole the phone from Maria and was naughty about asking his daughter, Catalina.
"Baba, you're so overacting as always!"
"Damn. Don't be naughty, darling!"
Maria grabbed the phone to Pedro comically.
"Daughter, how are you? We miss you so much."
Maria added with a smile.
"I'm fine, baba. Don't worry about me."
"Catalina, where is Shin-su-boy? Show him to me, and we can talk. Maybe that guy is abandoning you! I hate that!
Pedro stole the phone again from Maria comically.
"I'm fine, brother Pedro. I feel a little..."
"Don't be loud; he shouldn't know what happened!"
"O... Okay, Catalina.
"Brother? Why do you call me brother? Our daughter was with you almost all night, and then you called me brother?! Call me your father!"
"Baba! Shin-su, don't listen to him; he is just naughty!"
"Ah... Is that so? I'll call you father from now on."
"Shin-su!"
"Hehe, why Catalina, it's so happy to have a father again."
"You don't understand!"
"Then, promise that no matter what happens, you will not leave our son because if something happens to him, I will kill you!"
"Baba, stop! Or I will shut down this phone call!"
"Ah, father. Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will not abandon her."
"Shin-su!"
"In that case, come home, and I will prepare the..."
"Why did you turn it down, Catalina?"
"You're still asking!"
Ben and Xiang Sanders just laughed at the two comically.
"Can you stop laughing?!"

The scene returns to the current event at this time.
"We need to trust Shin-su Boy no matter what. Catalina must know this through our message on this paper, whether we live or die."
"Pedro..."

Ocean of Malabo Island.

Pedro and Maria hug each other while waiting for the giant wave to kill them. Their bodies were covered in white ice, and after a few seconds, a big wave hit them. Behind them, Catalina was stunned by what happened.
The scene shifts to Catalina's awakened spirit from her deep sleep, and Shin-su is watching over to her right.
"Baba and miyo!"

Den-en-chōfu - Ota in Southern Tokyo, Japan.

"Catalina?! What happened? Do you have a nightmare?"
Catalina looked around and asked Shin-su.
"Where are my Baba and Miyo, Shin-su?!"
"It looks like you were dreaming, Catalina; wipe your tears. We are here at home. Ben brought with his strength alone."
"Shin-su, it's a good thing it was all a dream."
Shin-su hugged her while she was crying sadly.
"Don't cry. Stand now. Ben is waiting for us outside."
"Ben?! But why?!"
"We have something important to talk about."
"Alright, Shin-su.
Xiang Sanders Xi's experiences and method as a Chinese person calmed down the coldness inside Catalina and Shin-su. It's evident in Shin-su's resistance to adjusting to the world where he is now.
Shin-su and Catalina come out from the top of the stairs of their home, and they hear the two men talking in Japanese. A man's voice was Ben's. He was talking to a man they didn't know yet, and when they saw him, they were surprised because he was Ashura.

Outside the house of our protagonists

"Ben! Why is he here? Damn, I didn't have my sword with me."
Shin-su and Catalina are surprised when they see Ashura. Catalina released an arrow because they did not yet know the truth that Ashura was one of Lamisowa's chosen powers.
"Guys, calm down. He didn't come here to fight."
Ashura looked at Catalina and was amazed by her beauty.
"Pretty young lady, tell me your name."
Ashura gets a little closer to Shin-su and Catalina comically.
"Try to come near me, and I will kill you!"
Catalina is annoyed by Ashura comically and points her arrow at him.
"It's okay if your arrows will hit me; It's an arrow of beauty. You're like an archangel who brings love."
"Wolf-man, don't be confused; her boyfriend, on her left side, will be jealous."
Ben suddenly speaks and convicts Ashura.
Ashura suddenly looked at Shin-su, who looked funny.
"Why are you staring at me? You're lucky I didn't bring my sword."
"Enough of you, young couple. Don't cause a brawl. He came to help us because he is one of those chosen by the power of God, Lamisowa."
The two were surprised by Ben's words and calmed themselves down.
"What did you say, Ben?! He?!"
Catalina was shocked and asked Ben.
"No wonder he can use fire."
Shin-su said and suddenly thought deeply.
"You mean you have the old power given to me by my God Lamisowa?!"
Everyone looked at Shin-su and was surprised.
"Shin-su?! You mean the power he has was once yours?!"
"You're right, Catalina."
"It's good, Shin-su man, everything will be easier."
Ben said with happiness. 
The conversation between Ashura and Shin-su started.
"So, it turns out that you used to hold the power that I have, but you look weak, so I can tell you that since childhood, I have loved fire, so I know that I am stronger than you, ahahaha."
Ashura proudly said to Shin-su, who answered humbly.
"Maybe you're right; it's unique. When I saw you use fire, I didn't immediately think that you were the one holding my power because of your equipment. Alright, because it's here. I have one ultimate style that can warm everyone in this world for temporary days."
Everyone was shocked when they heard it from Shin-su.
"And what is that, weak creature?!"
Ashura asked Shin-su insultingly. Shin-su answered him with annoyance.
"Don't insult and belittle me because what I will teach you is like a brother of the sun. Yes, a sun that will give warmth to all people."
"Sun?! That's impossible?! How can I do that!"
"Are you determined to learn and help everyone?!"
"I have no interest in being a world hero; I just want to save my country."
"So, you're selfish. You need to change because the fire I have now needs warmth and love for everyone in the future. You will understand me if you master it in the future.
"Don't lecture me! Just teach me, and then we will be done!"
"Is a student like that to a teacher? Before I teach you, learn to humble yourself!"
"Oh, come on, teacher, can you teach me, please?"
Ashura knelt, looking comically, begging Shin-su.
"How fast! Are you that desperate wolf dog?!"
Ben is shocked by Ashura's unexpected action.
"Shut up there, you crazy dog!:
Ashura and Ben argued while Catalina watched them have fun and talked to herself.
"Why do you call them that? It's scary."
"It's annoying; in my whole life, I kneel now, but only the sun symbolizes my country, and I want to save it; I won't do it."
Ashura spoke in his mind, which seemed funny.
"Alright, my dear student, get ready, and I'll teach you. You can stand up! HAHAHAHA"
Ashura stood up and looked annoyed and funny.
"Nasty, you're arrogant."
"Alright! For the first time, I will be a teacher. Yes!"
Shin-su is eager to hang out and is happy, which seems funny.
Ashura spoke in his mind with a funny expression.
"You'll see, man with a dog's name, I'll fry you after this."
"Alright, ahem! My former power, which you now have, symbolizes freedom and courage. It means you can only do what I teach when you release the anger in your heart and mind and replace it with warm love and the determination to save everyone. Fire doesn't always symbolize war; it symbolizes life and renewed hope. Always remember the ingredient I told you about."
"Yes! Stop talking so much!"
"Do you have a complaint?!"
"Ahhhhahaha, nothing."
"Let's get started, do as I say, and your wish will come true."
Ashura spoke in his mind.
"Damn. This dog's name is very cocky."
Shin-su raised both of Ashura's hands, closed his eyes, and ordered him to release his full power slowly and straight towards the height of the sky, but Ashura was having a hard time controlling his strength.
"Ahhhh. It's heavy!"
"Always remember that the secret of your power is not strength but what I said before. Focus and release the negative energies in your body, and you will see the true strength of your power."
"Yes! I'm trying!"
Ashura was sweating profusely and seemed to be having trouble controlling it, while Ben and Catalina were dumbfounded, looking up at the sky.
"Damn! I think I can't do it!"
"Is that the brave man's mindset? What about the people and the nation you want to save? Think about them!"
Ben said with solid words of encouragement, which convict Ashura's mind and heart.

Ashura's mind.

Ashura spoke to him, and his mind wandered into the void. From the dark place, it gradually became light, and he saw one by one the image of his family and even his brothers smiling at him as if motivating him. After a few seconds, he noticed a light behind him that showed the glowing light of his country's flag. He was happy and approached it, but suddenly, it multiplied, and the others circled and resembled different flags of the world.
"What does this mean?! Like my country, I'm selfish and can't survive without other countries. If so, I'll embrace all the countries in the world!"
He shouted, closed his eyes, and his surroundings lit up, returning to the event. Ashura's body lit up as he closed his eyes and released his overflowing power above the sky, which pleased Shin-su.
"Alright! Its started"
Ben and Catalina just smiled at the beauty of the fire he released above. More than five minutes later, he finished what he was doing, and a round light resembling a sun warming the world. Our protagonists are amazed at what they see, and Ashura's body light disappears, and his eyes open.
"It's over?! So that's it, it's beautiful."
Ashura said, looked at it, and lay down, smiling.
"Hahaha, you're great. My attack is called "Sorke Woa Kanoso" (Center Sun's Brother)."
Shin-su said and applauded the lying Ashura.
"Wolf-man, maybe you'll get your name for what you did."
Ben said to Ashura that he was happy with what he had done.
"Don't smile at me, you crazy dog; I'm irritated. I love my country, so I'll call it the Land of the Rising Sun."
"Hahaha, sounds familiar in history."
Ben said and laughed.
"We can enjoy this warm feeling; hopefully, a few days will be enough to find a way to calm the ocean's wrath."
"Hahaha, I don't know unless we can find someone to calm it down, but we shouldn't think about that for now.
They all looked up and smiled, enveloped in its rays.

The image has lost reception because the ocean's wrath affects the signal, but its audio is running, and everyone can hear it.
It speaks that the sun created by Ashura, which they called God's miracle day, will not last long. After that, the world will be engulfed by cold again for ten days, and the temperature and anger of the ocean will be even more intense, destroying everything that lives in the world.

In less than ten days, people will be busy strengthening the houses they built underground because the world will also experience a damaging earthquake. Can our protagonists do anything about this impossible test?!
