Ashura was about to leave to return to his happy place in the mountain of Kumotori when Ben suddenly asked him where he was going, and he was surprised.
"Crazy dog, I already helped you, and I'm resting here well."
"You still don't come to your senses?!"
"Hahaha, senses?! The problem is not over yet, so I must save my brothers. They are more important to me so I will leave you."
"So, the wolf will remain a leader of his lone group."
"Hahaha, you damn dog. That's what wolves are."
Ashura walked three steps and stopped.
"Until again, where all is well."
Ben looked at Ashura walking in his classic car, and behind him, he saw Shin-su and was shocked.
"Big bro, I know he'll come back, hehe."
"Shin-su, what do you think?!"
"Yes, he will. He can't use that attack again because it can devour his body, especially since he is not immortal. The power of my God Lamisowa has come to your world, and that's why it's limited. He still needs intense training to control its effect after he uses it."
"Then, can we expect a miracle to save the world?"
"I don't know, big bro, but I am sure my God, Lamisowa, will not abandon us."
"I hope..."

Chapter 56: "Live or Die."
---
This chapter begins eleven days later with the raging waves of the ocean, which are about to freeze, as evident in their color. Some parts of the world were wet and destroyed. The world filled with air that brought cold temperatures, which in turn caused the Earth to freeze.
The scene switches to Ben, Shin-su, and Catalina lying under the earthen home they made. Their surroundings were damaged due to the severe earthquake, and the three of them looked up and did their best to keep the water and freezing air from entering their underground house with their powers.

"The space is too small for us to move properly, and I can't even move the ground because the freezing wind will come in."
Ben shouted hard at Shin-su and Catalina.
"Ben, we're about to run out of energy because of what's happening."
Catalina said to Ben with a tired look on her face.
"Hahaha, at least let's do everything until we die."
Ben shouted, forcing a smile despite the difficulty he was feeling.
"Looks like you're the only one who can survive with us, big bro."
Shin-su said to Ben as he used his sword to release wind that would push the cold air away.
"I hope we die together."
The chapter moves to Cao Xi, on the other side of their home, crying because her mother, Xiang Sanders, died because she prefers to get away from him because of his stubbornness. Their surroundings filled with a radiant shield due to his power to protect them both.

"My dear mother, why did you prefer them and not stay by my side? Why did you leave me? Why did you have to die just for me to do that thing?! No, it could be my mistake. Sorry, mother, please come back to life! Please..."

Pedro and Maria embrace and hold each other. In Maria's left hand is a small iron box. The couple does not move; they seem lifeless and encased in ice.
The situation has shifted to the underground evacuation of the Australian government's leading capital city. Some military government and Prime Minister Oliver Smith are ready to close the door on their right side.

"Mayor, based on the calculation, it only takes two minutes, and the freezing air will enter here, and when that happens, we will all die, so let's close the door."
"Let's wait a minute because we still have evacuating citizens."
A minute passed, and no one entered their evacuation underground.
"Prime Minister, come in!"
The prime minister was about to enter when he suddenly turned back and noticed someone from a distance, a woman who seemed to be having difficulty lifting something on the ground.
"Wait a minute!"
The prime minister shouted orders to his military units.
The scene moved outside the underground base that Ashura and his group had built. Ashura is above its frozen and closed door. He was in tears and spoke his mind.

"I believe all of you can survive this."
He ran and seemed to be going to an unknown place.
The scene returns to our protagonists, Ben, Shin-su, and Catalina, holding back the icy wind and water from the ocean, which is also flowing to different countries caused by strong earthquakes and tsunamis.

"Ben, my hands are getting cold.."
Catalina said, trembling to Ben.
"Yes, Ben, I feel it too!"
Shin-su added that his hand was also shaking.
"Hmm. That water is so cold that only a few hours will pass and freeze together with everything it touches."
Ben replied to both of them.
"I still have some strength left, but the pressure of the cold air weakens me."
Shin-su said that he was holding back his weakness.
"I'm sure that more water will fall in just half an hour and get stronger. It looks like we won't be able to stop it."
"One more thing, we can't release our big attack because the hole at the top will be worse."
Ben explained thoughtfully to the two.
"You're right; even if we stop that, the cold air will expand, which is why we're freezing."
Catalina said seriously, agreeing with Ben.
"So, let's die together, hahaha."
Ben said as if he accepted what was going to happen.
"Just us, Ben. Not you."
Shin-su said seriously.
"Oww, that's bad."
Ben replied, then scratched his head.
In a few seconds, a sudden earthquake shocked them.
"Wahhhh!"
The three shouted at the same time due to the force of the earthquake.
"Ben, Catalina, look up!"
Shin-su shouted to the two after he saw the upper part of their underground home.
The small hole in their home gradually grew due to the earthquake, and steaming cold water poured down.
"Ben isn't your power able to deform the earth!"
Catalina asked Ben while clinging to a solid rock to withstand the earthquake's force.
"I want to do that, but every piece of soil and cement in this house is connected, and it can make a bigger hole or destroy it."
"Let me handle it! Lega Hapa..."
Shin-su was about to use the force of the wind from his sword, but suddenly, a strong earthquake caused water to flow from above and a scorching cold wind to blow.
"Ben!"
Catalina shouted as if asking Ben for help.
"Damn! I don't let both of you die so easily."
"Larg...
Ben was about to use his attack when a fire suddenly flared above the hole and temporarily vaporizing and melting the water and the extreme cold of the air.
"Ashura!"
Ben said in shock when he saw Ashura because they didn't expect it.
The three looked up to Ashura, who was heading towards them. Ashura's fire covered the top of their place, which covered its big hole.
"Looks like you need my help."
Ashura replied boastfully to them.
"You?! It's good, and you came. I told you, Ben."
Shin-su said happily while looking at Ben.
When Ashura came down, he looked at Catalina and was again amazed at her beauty.
"Oww, Miss, I'm glad I saw you. I don't care what happens when I see you. Can I hold your hand?"
Shin-su was suddenly surprised and annoyed, and he put his sword on Ashura's neck.
"Try to touch her, or you will die. You seem to forget who your teacher is."
"Hahaha, you're too hot, boy; I admire her beauty."
Ashura calmed Shin-su down with his mockery.
"It looks like the wind has changed, wolfman. Why did you come here?"
"This is not the right time to talk, crazy dog!"
Ben asked Ashura seriously, who answered him in hostility.
"Time? But you are the one who is flirting!"
Catalina answered him with annoyance, but Ashura ignored it and looked up.
"Let me save all of you."
"Fire of Madness!"
Ashura unleashed his fire, melting the falling water and cold air to form a hellish fire that enveloped the area above their location.
"The heat of a fire like your head used to be."
"But it's always reliable, you dog."
"Don't call me dog, wolfman."
"Then don't call me wolf before I bite you."
Funny teasing of the two.
A few seconds later, there was another earthquake, and the extreme water flow terminated the fire Ashura created. The hole at the top grew even more significantly due to the earthquake.
"Ahhhh! This shaking has been the longest!"
Catalina said in shock and difficulty.
"Damn. I can't move."
Ashura said it was challenging to move correctly due to the earthquake's strength.
"Ben, can you stop this shaking?!"
Shin-su asked Ben, who answered him thoughtfully.
"I'm trying, but I can't handle the earthquake because this is the shaking of the whole world!"
"I can't handle the strength of my sword because of this earthquake."
Shin-su said in frustration.
The big hole above their place is the reason for the strong water flow, and the cold air is freezing the edge of their place, and the waters are about to fall on them.
"Damn! I can't move the ground. It will get worse!"
"What are we going to do!"
"So, this is the end!"
Ben, Shin-su, and Catalina said with difficulty and frustration.
"Damn, I need to use my fire!"
Ashura was about to raise his left hand while sitting because of the earthquake, but it got stronger and knocked them down."
The four were lying on the broken rocks and looking up as if they were waiting for the water to fall, which would cause them to freeze, but the glowing shield stopped it.
They were all surprised and looked to their left because it came from the young man Cao Xi. 
His right arm was bloody while he raised his left hand. Cao Xi's eyes are filled with sadness and tears.
"Boy?!"
"Weird man!"
"Who is he?! I saw him for the first time!"
Ashura followed after Ben and Shin-su's shocked reaction.
Cao Xi walked and headed near them, sat down, and leaned against a wall.
"Please excuse my behavior."
He apologized to them in his deep and sincere voice.
"Where's grandma?!"
"She is dead."
Cao Xi replied as his tears fell slightly.
They were all surprised except Ashura.
"In fulfilling his request, I will force myself to trust you."
"Cao Xi boy, we're not bad enough to be trusted, but thank you for coming."
Ben said comfortingly.
"Your power, which Xan-xe used to possess, can stop any incoming attack based on your strength, but this continuous earthquake has no cure."
Shin-su explained this to Cao Xi, even though he didn't listen.
Catalina noticed Cao Xi's right arm and asked him a question, which he answered with his eyes closed.
"Why is your right hand covered in blood?"
"I don't want to return to that incident because I feel even sadder."
"Okay?! I respect you."
The earthquake stopped, and the water above Cao Xi's shield was spreading below, which was not covered by his power. Cao Xi circled his shield as the cold wind spread through their home and froze the area around it. They noticed that every body of water on their surface and sides was about to freeze.
"Cao Xi boy, how long can you keep your guard up?"
"I don't know. Until my strength runs out."
Ben asked Cao Xi, who answered him thoughtfully.
The strong shaking stopped suddenly, and they sat up from the ground and rest.
"Thank you, and it stops now."
Ashura said.
"Everyone, let's stay together in this area. This is the first time we've been together."
"But it looks like this is the last for us."
"For us and not for you, Ben."
Ben cheerfully tells everyone to stay together, followed by Catalina's worried words.
"Shin-su, what if the four of us die, and Ben is the only one left?"
"Hmm. I don't know either, Catalina. My God Lamisowa's power is weak, maybe because of the war in Wangda and the place where his power dwelled, which is this world."
"So how deceitful that this crazy dog is the only survivor!"
"Wolfman, just pray that our God will not abandon you! Hahaha.
Ben said, looking up at Ashura at the same time. He observed that the cold air was slowly entering the protection that Cao Xi was doing.
"Look, the cold air that will freeze us gradually enters every protection corner.
"It seems that we are not safe, especially since Cao Xi also has a limit, but before we freeze, we can do something to prolong our lives."
"You're right there, shin-su man, Cao Xi. I hope you last because we can prolong our lives with the help of this wolf dog's power."
"Ben, I hope my wind force can help, too."
"Yes, of course."
Ben and Shin-su are seriously having a conversation.
"Wolfman, can you fire your hottest fire on the air?"
"Are you challenging me, dog? Of course! You don't have to ask me."
"It's good! Shin-su. Using the power of your sword, we can create a lasting hot temperature that will warm us. Catalina and I will create a strong shield around us. Cao Xi boy, can you expand the You're just a bit more circular?"
"Yes, no problem."
"Then let's start and work together."

The scene cuts to the dire situation of the entire world.

The rising waters caused by the earthquake covered the world in darkness, and the ocean drowned the entire land above. All countries have experienced this, and some are filled with ice because of the cold air, which makes anything it touches hard. Active volcanoes also rage, but the frigid temperatures subdue their burning sulfur.
The safety of the people under the ground, which they have made to protect their lives and hope they will survive, is uncertain.

The scene returns to our protagonists, who have successfully carried out their plans.

Shin-su and Ashura mixed fire and air to give them long-lasting warmth because of the cold temperature. Below them, Ben and Catalina have built a super-durable anti-cold room if they run out of hot temperatures or the cold beats its heat. On the other hand, Cao Xi closed his eyes while raising his hand, which released a bright shield that protected them.
Several hours passed when they did this, and they noticed it was getting weaker because the cold was getting more robust, and it would freeze their bodies.

"Close the top of this durable room!"
They unite to close the metal, soil, and stone square protection.
"Cao Xi boy, you can rest now because I know you are struggling."
Cao Xi lowered his hand, and they all heard the impact of water that had not yet frozen and completely hardened water.
Ashura lay down with his hands crossed behind his head while the four sat as if panting from exhaustion.
"Hey, crazy dog, are you sure we can survive using this plan you made?"
"Hahaha, I'm not sure about that, wolfman."
"You're untrusted damn dog!"
"Hahaha, at least your lives will be longer."
Ben teases Ashura, who is annoyed with him.
"Ben, I gave all my strength for what we did earlier."
"I feel you, Shin-su man. We are all tired because we gave all our strength."
Shin-su said tiredly, to which Ben agreed.
Ashura spoke in his mind.
"It's annoying if I can only use a much bigger and hotter SUN a few times. I will use it to save everyone temporarily."
After a few minutes of silence, Ben looked up and noticed cold smoke coming into the square room they had made; even its side was let in by cold air.
"Hahaha, it looks like we have no chance of salvation."
Everyone except Cao XI, who was still in closed eyes in every corner of the room, looked and was shocked. They noticed that little by little, every corner of the room was freezing, and in a few minutes, it would engulf them.
"Your plans are sloppy, you dog."
"Why are you angry?! We are dealing against nature; no power can withstand it but only God."
"Don't explain."
Ashura said in dismay that Ben countered.
"Ben, this is where it all ends. When we die, and you survive, don't forget to write our name in history."
"That's one of my habits, Catalina. to write history. But don't think negatively; I hope we can all survive. After all, we are not sure of our lives, and only now are we all united despite our selfish views on life, especially that one."
After Ben had answered Catalina, he pointed at Ashura, who seemed to be mocking her.
"Why are you looking at me?! Just be thankful that I'm here and grant your life extension."
"Hahaha, relax, and don't get mad. If you were asked and we could all survive, what would you like to do with your life after this?"
"Good question, Ben. I want to start it. First, I want to go home and check if Baba and Miyo are still alive.
Catalina was in tears when she said that and wiped it with her right hand.
I hope they survive, and I will hug them tightly. Then, I want to have vacation days in a place with many islands, especially its ocean, which is perfect for my surfing habits.
"Catalina, if you ask me, I want to stay by your side."
Shin-su said, and Catalina blushed at what he said, which opened Ben's mind to tease them.
"Hahaha, you two are so excited; if we all survive, it will be a wedding for you two."
"Shut up, Ben!"
"Hahaha, relax. It's just a joke. You're so rude. Sometimes, my joke is true, hahaha. Okay, make it serious. As for me, I want to be with my family, my wife, and my future child, and I also want to help my country recover from this crisis."
Ben teased the two and then told them his plan if they survived.
"You wolfman, maybe you want to say something."
"Why do I have to join your nonsense talk? Just die silently! Okay, okay! I want to raise this country, help my uncle, and give my brothers a good direction. I hope they can survive if we survive this damn situation."
Ashura asked, annoyed, but after that, he also did Ben's play.
"Wow, it's good that you shared even though we are nearly dying. Hahaha."
Ashura was suddenly ashamed of what he had done after Ben teased him. He turned around and lay down on his side.
"Shut up."
"With the word dying, I think we are dead; the last man we can expect to share. Oww! I don't know if he will speak, right, Cao Xi boy?"
Cao Xi remained silent for only a minute, and everyone was covered in silence, which seemed funny, but they were surprised when he suddenly spoke.
"I will try to keep my promise to my mother."
They all didn't know what the expression would be because they seemed horrified when he replied that it seemed funny.
"Just like when we first saw you, it's still terrifying."
Catalina said in horror as she watched Cao Xi.
"Hahaha, look, the ice is about to stick to us; it looks like we have to say goodbye to each other."
Ben said, pretending to be happy and fighting the fear.
"Goodbye to all of you. Goodbye, shin-su."
"Goodbye to all of you, especially to you Catalina."
Catalina and Shin-su say goodbye with their sincere feelings to each other.
"Hahaha, goodbye to all of you. I'll care for your body no matter what happens; don't worry. But I wish I could die with you. What about you, wolfman? You're not going to say goodbye?"
Ben smiled and said despite their bad luck.
"Shut up; I joined in your nonsense earlier; you're so many damn plays!"
Ashura said, annoyed at Ben's offer, which seemed funny.
Ben didn't ask Cao Xi anymore because he felt strange watching him close his eyes.
"So, come on, taste our fate."
Ben said, and then everyone closed their eyes.
They are all serious in this dramatic scene and waiting for them to harden at freezing temperatures.

The Earth has rushed away from the Sun, and its distance is about 300 million km, one hour from the present for just above one month. If you look at it, it seems like a snowball covered in freezing ice, but if you look at its movement, you will see that it is approaching again from the Sun.
What forces are pulling this world back again? Could this be the cause for hope? Can anyone survive before it returns to its original place?
