Chapter 1: The Hero's Journey
POV Narrator
Countless worlds, endless adventures.
These are the words that can describe a planeswalker's lifestyle.
For the uninitiated, planeswalkers are among the most powerful beings in the multiverse.
The defining feature of planeswalkers is the ability to easily travel between separate universes, while the vast majority of people throughout the multiverse are not even aware of the existence of worlds other than their own.
Planeswalking is a form of magic. With enough time and mana, or with specialized knowledge of spells, or with access to enormous power, it is possible for a planeswalker to transfer clothing, artifacts, and / or creatures with them as they travel between planes.
A planeswalker is specifically a being who possesses the spark of a planeswalker.
The planeswalker spark is roughly one in a million things in sentient beings, and getting it ignited is even rarer.
This process is called ignition, and is triggered by a powerful, emotionally influential, and perspective-altering life event, often a near-death experience.
This story is about the spark ascension of a one-of-a-kind planeswalker, Bruce Bahamut Belmont, one of the most powerful and eccentric sorcerers of his home plane.
He later became a Nomadic Planeswalker who traversed the Multiverse, ending up participating in every kind of adventure imaginable.

Before Bruce ignited his spark and become a planeswalker, he was a "simple" Detective Occult.
A teenager with no memory of his past who in 2015 decides to start playing Sherlock Holmes of the world illuminated in the moonlight.
Bruce following this detective profession of the occult involved an absurd number of supernatural events.
Some cases have been of minor importance such as the possession of a young girl or the appearance of a vampire with nefarious intentions.
Sometimes they have been works of world importance such as the Great War of the Holy Grail or the Resurrection of Dracula.
The young detective does not work alone, he had a rather large company of witches or gifted people by his side: Woz Gray, Luz Noceda, Amity Blight, Anne Boonchuy, Marcy Wu, Sasha Waybright and above all the Trinity Seven the most powerful witches on earth. .
This colorful and incredibly diverse group have pushed themselves to act beyond normal human reach.
Twice Bruce and his closest allies have ended up setting foot in distant realms such as the Boiling Isles, Amphibia or even Asgard.
In these places populated by witches, demons, anthropomorphic amphibians or other even more bizarre beings.
Bruce and his team led a rebellion against the Tirani of their respective kingdoms, stopping the plans of genocide against the witches or invasion of Earth.
During these events Bruce even managed to defeat two entities that can be considered gods: Black Susano'o, Core of Leviathan.
To this list of evil deities, defeated by an eccentric sorcerer was also added Bill Cipher, was a triangular inter-dimensional demon.
Unfortunately, no one can win forever, not even the greatest sorcerers and witches in the world.
After two years of flawless work, Bruce savors the greatest pain possible, the death of a woman he loves.
The date of January 15, 2017, shortly after Bruce's eighteenth birthday, the tragedy occurred, Luz Noceda is dead.
The cause a demon stole his soul, leaving Luz Noceda to be a mere corpse.
This event destroyed the spirit of many people, friends and family fell in mourning.
Luz's girlfriend, Amity Blight ... unable to live without her first and last love, I try to commit suicide.
Thank goodness Amity was stopped by Bruce himself, not being able to lose another friend so soon, especially in this world.
Amity in tears and in desperation, accuse that Luz's untimely death was Bruce's fault that got her involved in all kinds of dangerous and absurd adventures.
At the end of her rant, Amity said, "You should have died instead of her! Go to hell and bring my Luz back!"
Bruce Bahamut Belmont took Amity's words too seriously.
As the sun rose, the bodies of Luz and Bruce disappeared without leaving a trace.
Bruce decided that he would bring Luz back to life or he would die trying.
Detective Occult first of all decided to seek help from Woz Gray, a mysterious and eccentric character who presents himself as a Prophet who wants to bring Bruce to greatness.
Woz Gray self-proclaimed Bruce's Prophet, who assisted her in every possible way from the very beginning.
Woz explained that there is a method to bring Luz back to life, but it wouldn't be easy.
Bruce replied that he would return with Luz by his side or he would never return.
Woz seeing Bruce's determined gaze, gave a "little prophecy" and a list of materials needed to begin his seemingly impossible undertaking.
The first item on the list is to take The Word of God, an unspecified number of stone tablets that were later locked up in an underground crypt in the heart of the Earth.
Bruce had to travel to the Vatican and steal the papal staff to open the crypt where the Demon Tablet and Angel Tablet, the instruction manuals on how hell and heaven work, together with its respective inhabitants, were kept.
At the end of that day Bruce Bahamut Belmont kept faith with the Belmont tradition, eventually becoming the number one target of the Holy Catholic Church.
Bruce managed to surpass his predecessors, having received the title from the Pope himself: Enemy of God.
Escaping a skin from the wrath of the Vatican, Bruce brought the tablets to Woz, receiving instructions on the two side missions to take Luz to the Land of the Living.
First of all Bruce had to find the archangel Zadkiel and imprison him, then force him to give him one of the Spirit of Vengeance, thus transforming himself into a Ghost Rider.
To capture an archangel, Bruce would have to close the Gates of Heaven, forcing the Angels to descend from the Heavens, including Zadkiel, the overseer of the Spirit of Vengeance.
In order to find and touch the Ports of Heaven, Detective Occult would have to complete three trials: killing a Nephilim, stealing Cupid's bow and stealing the grace of an Angel.
Having accomplished the three feats, Bruce traveled to Los Angeles, discovering that the Gates of Heaven is hidden in a secret passage in the H of the Hollywood sign.
As night fell, all Los Angeles residents on Earth watched the sky studded with falling lights; each of them corresponds to an angel fallen from heaven.
Bruce finds the archangel Zadkiel in a weak and confused state, taking advantage of his momentary weakness, Bruce has used his magic to chain him in the basement of an abandoned church.
Zadkiel quickly realized that Bruce is not a person to be challenged when he is angry and ready to do anything to get what he wants.
As the sun came up, Zadkiel lost his archangel wings, he also lost a Spirit of Vengeance inside of Bruce, completely tamed.
Returning to Woz, you discover that now he must find and pass through the Gates of Hell, to do so he must go through three trials: killing a Cerberus and bathing the body in his blood, saving a soul from Hell to ascend to Heaven, healing a demon, that is, to rekindle his humanity.
The power of the Ghost Rider was terribly useful to Bruce in completing the Trials of Hell.
Soon after he ran to Las Vegas, the place where the Gate of Hell is located
One day to steal the Word of God from under the nose of the Vatican, three days to complete the trials of the angels and another three days to do the same with the trials of the demons.
In just seven days, Bruce was able to complete a set of trials that can be compared to the labors of Hercules.
Bruce before going through the gates of hell, wearing his golden armor, arming himself with his best artifacts, I cross the gates of hell.
The first stop on his journey is to go to Alastor, the Demon of the Radio, an infamous being who knows most of the secrets of hell.
Once Alastor is found; Bruce discovers that hell is in the midst of a civil war.
Years ago, when the Winchester Brothers trapped Lucifer Morningstar and Archangel Michael in an impregnable Cage to prevent the apocalypse, they unwittingly left hell without Ruler.
Smarter demons like Alastor, Crowley and Vulgrim have decided to remain neutral and not side with anyone, preferring to sit still and watch and see what happens.
Shortly before there were three great factions fighting for control of hell led by three demons of comparable power to Lucifer: Mundus, Argosax and Samael.
Today Mundus has practically total command of hell, having managed to imprison Samael and seal Argosax, having the green light to become King of the demons.
Having heard enough about the hell situation, Bruce asked questions about who might have stolen Luz's soul.
Alastor said that Mundus would be the only one powerful enough to send a demon out of Hell with the power to steal a pure soul without the owner's consent.
The Radio Demon, I advise Bruce to go to Samael if he wants to find a way to take Luz's soul from Mundus' clutches.
Bruce immediately left for the Scalding Gallows prison, the place where the Arch-Demon Samael, The Blood Prince, The Red Wanderer, The Lord of The Black Stone are imprisoned.
Bruce found and punished those responsible for the theft of Luz's soul, freed Samael and made a deal with him.
He would bring Samael the four Hearts of the Chosen of Mundus in exchange for Samael's assistance in helping him reach the Black Throne.
Bruce went on to defeat the four lieutenants of Mundus:
Tiamat, a huge bat-like creature that inhabits the Twilight Cathedral.
The Griever, a giant insect that has made The Hollows its lair.
The Stygian, the largest and most powerful Ashworm in the Ashlands.
Silitha, a monstrous Achidna-like spider creature that dwells in Silitha's frame within the Iron Canopy.
Once Bruce has defeated each of these monsters, he takes their hearts and hands them over to Samael who returned to his former glory.
"With my power restored, I am like a GOD! I could suck the marrow out of your bones before you take another breath. I could ... but I too have a code that I do business with." He declared Samael in a small moment of glory, before concentrating on keeping his side of the deal.
The Arch-Demon using his recovered powers, gave birth to a portal that leads directly to the throne room of Mundus.
But before letting Bruce pass and taking off, Samael said, "Watch out! Or your ending will be tragic! Sometimes, the hero eventually dies. But Detective ... I like stories that have a happy ending."
Bruce, not afraid of dying or worrying about Arch-Demon's intrigues, walked through the portal, ending up in front of Mundus.
The current ruler of hell was not in the least surprised by Bruce's arrival, in fact he had been waiting for him for quite some time.
"Listen to me, Mundus. I don't care who rules hell or if you demons kill each other.
I just want my friend's soul, give it to me and you will live one more day, refuse me and you will die! "Bruce said, drawing out the holy sword Excalibur, the best weapon to fight one of the three most powerful demons of hell.
"If you want that girl's soul, you'll have to come and get it." He declares Mundus, showing a necklace around his neck, with a large black diamond that glows ghostly.
Luz's soul is found sealed inside the Mundus necklace.
"I advise you to fight a beast, because a corcitura like you, will not be able to defeat the King of Hell!" He declares Mundus, before changing his form, becoming a demonic black knight.
Having heard too much, Bruce wasted no time in useless chatter, I immediately begin to fight against the devil.
XXX
The discount between Bruce and Mundus was worthy of being immortalized for years to come, if there was a man crazy enough to go to hell to write a book (such a guy exists).
A boy at the height of the young, willing to overthrow hell and heaven, all for the sake of a 16-year-old girl who sees him as a brother and promised her heart to another woman.
The battle was tremendous, the entire fortress of Mundus crumbling due to the intensity of the deadly duel.
All those who dare to approach the confrontation between the two titans have been enhanced by the crossfire.
Bruce is armed with the sacred weapon Excalibur, the best weapon in existence for killing a demon. If it weren't for the Restraints of the Round Table limiting Excalibur's power, he would have almost guaranteed victory.
Mundus being the King of Hell, being on his own ground manages to obtain an almost unlimited demonic energy, making you almost immortal.
Mistral blow against blows of pure raw strength, holy sword against demon sword, human magic against demon magic.
The two Titans are on an equal footing, the victory would have been a matter of endurance and pure combat ability.
The duel that seems to continue for hours, even hundreds of days, if Mundus hadn't decided to sacrifice his arm to disarm the hero.
Without Excalibur, Bruce was at a disadvantage, but the battle to the death continued without a moment's respite.
The conflict between the two became increasingly violent and brutal, each taking its share of damage.
The fight ended with Mundus standing, surrounded by the ruins of his fortress and the corpses of his soldiers, holding Bruce by the throat.
"You should have listened to my advice and faced me like a beast." Mundus said, boasting of having won this deadly duel.
The Tyrant of Hell made the third biggest mistake of his life when he began exposing his plan to Bruce.
"Corcitura, I am sorry to admit it, but you are a valid challenger, comparable to a young Samael and Argosax. You will become a valid general for my armies." Mundus said, hating to pay compliments to an enemy, much less a curdling with human blood.
"I'd rather die than serve an abominable being like you." Bruce responds, tempted to spit in Mundus's face, not devising a better way to express his disgust.
"Surely you will not do it of your own free will. But after a few years of torture you will have become my faithful puppet." Mundus said, with a twisted smile on his face, promising a fate worse than death for Bruce.
"You have cost me dearly, my lieutenants are dead, Samael is free again, my fortress is in ruins and I have lost my right arm." Mundus said, tightening his grip around Bruce's neck, punishing him for the severe damage he did. he inflicted in such a short time.
"When I sent my hitman to take your mate's soul, I knew you would come to retrieve her soul. You, hero, can't help but help a girl in danger." Mundus said, mocking Bruce for his heroic behavior.
"You know that by passing through the Three Trials of Hell, you have acquired the ability to pass through, close and open the gates of hell as you please.
When I am done with you, you will open the doors for my armies and lead the invasion to Earth.
Wanting to save a maiden's soul, you have condemned the whole of humanity. "Mundus said, explaining why he stole Luz's soul, all to get an exit ticket to hell.
Bruce having overhearing Mundus's plans, followed by promises of revenge against his extended family.
Bruce's heart began to feel a nascent feeling of hatred towards Mundus, followed by a primal rage.
Using what remains of his strength, the hero executes a final lightning strike, hitting Mundus's face, permanently disfiguring half of his face.
This latest affront caused Mundus to change plans for Bruce.
"I'll let Lucifer and Michele take care of you once they've conquered the first real human settlement to teach you a lesson personally. But I'll need a helping hand to do that." Mundus said, with a hateful look towards Bruce.
The King of Hell tore off Bruce's left arm in the most brutal and painful way possible, after which I use Bruce's arm as a substitute, confident that he could open the gates of hell with the stolen arm.
"You should have listened to my advice and faced me like a beast." Mundus said, before using his powers as Current King of Hell, I invoke the Cage that holds the two greatest archangels trapped.
"Welcome to hell, Hero. Today when I celebrate the first conquest of my armies, I will feast on the soul of your mate." Mundus said, wanting to hit Bruce where he hurts the most.
Without thinking twice, Mundus threw Bruce of the Cage, not wanting to see him for quite some time.
This was the second biggest mistake of Samael's life: Not killing Bruce when he could, instead he spurred his anger, then threw her into the same Cage with the previous leaders of Heaven and Hell.
Mundus leaves the ruins of his fortress to prepare his infernal armies, already envisioning himself as the Absolute King of Hell and Earth.
Not knowing in the least that he had signed his own death warrant with his own actions.
XXX
Meanwhile, Mundus' troops
they gather in one place, preparing to march and bring the fury of hell to Earth.
Inside the Cage the three prisoners are "getting to know" each other in the old way.
Lucifer and Michele weren't particularly friendly with the new roommate.
Neache Bruce was pleased to meet his cellmates, especially when news of permanently mutilating Zadkiel, an Archangel brother, appears to have also reached the Cage.
The two archangel brothers for once have decided to stop arguing with each other and focus on Bruce.
What exactly happened Gabbia is mostly a mystery. But one thing is certain the two Archangels pushed Bruce to the limit both physically and mentally.
The body plagued by imaginable pains, the heart filled to the brim with anger and hatred, the mind filled with worries about the fate of the world and of Luz's soul.
Mundus' words rang in Bruce's head: "You should have listened to my advice and faced me like a beast."
Eventually something inside Bruce moved, freeing him from any physical, mental or moral limitations and inhibitions.
The worst of Bruce Bahamut Belmont was unleashed inside the Cage, with the two Archangels in the front row to see what happened.
The hero dressed in pure gold armor that looks blessed by the sun has turned into a beast wrapped in black breastplate.
From the shadow of the Black Beast came a torrent of black mud, All the Evils of the World have flooded the Cage, allowing the Hero transformed into Beast to attack the Archangels.
During the fight in the Cage as gladiators and lions in the Colosseum, a particular memory returned to Bruce's mind.
About a year ago, during one of his great adventures in a distant world, Bruce killed a dragon, bathed in the dragon's blood, and then ate its heart.
This act allowed the Bruce of the past to gain new powers and abilities, allowing him to clash with enemies previously impossible to defeat.
As a Black Beast thirsty for blood and revenge, there were no problems or disputes attempting to eat the hearts of Lucifer and Michael.
The Archangels were comparable prey to a giant whale or a titanic dragon, but luck was not on the side of the previous leaders of Heaven and Hell.
For years Lucifer and Michele have incessantly dueling each other inside the Cage, greatly weakening their powers and their resistance.
Being stuck with a crazed Black Beast capable of holding Mundus head on in an impregnable Cage that fills with the black mud that encloses All The World's Evil And More To Come ...
Eventually there were no longer three prisoners in the Cage, only the Black Beast remained, consuming the bodies and souls of the former leaders of Heaven and Hell.
The power of Lucifer and Michele in a crude and blasphemous way was assimilated into the Black Beast which began to grow, becoming something much worse.
XXX
The Cage was conceived to lock up a very specific type of prisoner, Archangeli.
The Black Beast can be considered a lot of things, but it's definitely not an Archangel, and that Cage was not meant to hold such a crazed being inside.
The Cage of Lucifer and Michael has been destroyed from within, an abominable creature arose from the ruins of the Black Throne of Mundus.
The Black Beast for the moment looks like an alien entity miraculously locked in obsidian armor that is about to explode.
The Black Beast could boast of having five wings, each of a different model.
The first wing of immaculate white, the second wing of a black as night, the third wing of a dragon, the fourth wing of hot metal, the fifth wing of bone that expels black blood.
The Black Beast at the time could have been a Beast Candidates, an Evils of Humanity, a name that denotes one of the seven great existential threats to Humanity itself.
Thank goodness, the Black Mud Abomination is a poor candidate who could hardly be classified as a Juvenile Beasts.
But this potential explains the mystery of why Bruce has always been strangely from Altera, Nero and Tamamo.
Each of these three Servants has the potential to become a Beast Candidates.
Attila the Hun alias Altera could become Sefar, also known as the White Titan of Tassili n 'Ajjer, is in history the Great God of Sefar.
An alien entity that destroyed most of humanity's early civilizations, including Atlantis in an event that would be remembered as Leukosmachia.
Sefar is an enemy beyond humanity, beyond this solar system, beyond this universe. In short, a being above the Seven Beasts.
Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus could become the Whore of Babylon, Bewitching Queen Draco, Sodom's Beast. In short, the Beast VI / S.
Tamamo-no-Mae could become The Mother of Wild Beasts, an Evil Spirit who can easily defeat 100 or more Heroic Spirits.
Tamamo-no-Mae states that if he were to regain his past strength by regrowing his nine tails, he would become a large demon strong enough to destroy 3,000 worlds.
An avatar of the apocalypse itself and a threat big enough to rival the King of Magic and his Order of Human Incineration. In short, Beast IV: L.
If the Black Beast were simply a creature driven by pure instinct, it would flood the entire hell, turning it into a dark ocean, then repeat the process for Earth.
For better or for worse, under All The World's Evil And More To Come, he finds an unparalleled fury, focused solely on killing Mundus and recovering Luz's soul.
The mind of the Black Beast may be a chaotic ocean of pure evil with a single direction, but on the subconscious level stands Beuce Bahamut Belmont, a Genius among the Geniuses.
The Black Beast is smart enough not to repeat the mistakes from before, it wouldn't be a lone creature fighting an army of demons just to get to Mundus.
The Black Beast invokes the Box of Bahamut which was previously Pandora's Box, an instrument that resonates perfectly with All The World's Evil And More To Come.
Using the Box of Bahamut, the Black Beast became more human, losing a lot of raw strength, in return his control over the black mud grew to frightening levels.
The Black Beast using its black mud gave birth to a huge army of black scaled liveworms, the real strength being the invocation of Altera, Nero and Tamamo in the Altern state.
The horde of the Black Beast raced towards the exit of hell, leaving behind a trail of death and black mud that consumes everything it touches.
Anyone unfortunate enough or foolish enough to stand in the way of this savage horde would be lucky if there was a drop of his blood or a speck of dust left.
XXX
Meanwhile on Earth, Mundus realized he had made his biggest mistake, when he believed he could control or predict Bruce's actions.
The Ruler of Hell could not have imagined that Bruce would first challenge Heaven, then rush to face the wrath of Hell.
All the angels of heaven longed to find Bruce to use him as a key to return to Heaven, then he would justice him for causing the fall of the angels.
Archangel Uriel along with his Angelic Vanguard managed to follow Bruce's energetic signature, ending up in Las Vegas, in front of the gates of hell.
When the forces of Mundus set foot on Earth, the Archangel
Uriel and his vanguard gave a rather fiery welcome.
Las Vegas has become the battleground between the forces of Heaven and Hell.
XXX
When Gross of the Black Beast made her way through the armies of Mundus to get to Earth, she declared these summer words: "But I will heed your previous advice and face my true enemy as a Beast!"
After that, in the skies of Las Vegas, in addition to demons and angels, a mighty black dragon with five wings, each different and unique, also appeared.
XXX
The battle between the three forces of nature spread throughout the city of Las Vegas.
While humans ran away to survive and armies kill each other.
The three leaders Mundus, Black Beast and Uriel are fighting each other, knowing that the battle would be decided with the death of the enemy leader.
The Black Beast unlike Bruce did not split his forces to save or defend innocent civilians.
Instead he sent Nero Alter and Tamamo Alter kept Uriel busy while Altera Alter assisted him in his fight against Mundus.
The Ruler of hell soon realized all his mistakes and that he shouldn't have left hell.
On Earth his forces are limited, if fighting two powerful adversaries wasn't enough, Bruce's stolen arm and made it his began to "disobey".
Inside the stolen left arm is Bruce's blood, a particularly dangerous substance incompatible with the biology of anyone not related to Bruce.
The hero's blood finally got into circulation in Mundus's body, causing a rather nasty rejection.
Basically a combination of a magical cancer and a deadly curse is consuming Mundus on the inside as the outside gets hit by the Black Beast and Altera Alter.
Soon Mundus was killed by the Spirit of Vengeance's gaze of penance and the sword of Altera.
With the death of Mundus, the focus of the Black Beast's murderous rage disappeared.
Slowly the flame of hatred slowly died out and with it the Black Beast fell asleep, letting Bruce regain his sense of reason.
Once the hero returned to the scene, Altera, Nero and Tamamo stopped being Servant Alter, returning to their normal selves, albeit quite confused about what is going on around them.
Unfortunately, the horde of the Black Beast without their creator to lead them have reverted to being plain black mud.
The first thing Bruce did was to secure the column that contains Luz's soul.
After that Bruce looks down, seeing a city ravaged by a war beyond human possibility.
It's all about to get worse, Uriel's battle cry was heard by every angel on earth, the whole legion of Heaven would come to Las Vegas.
The Gates of Hell are still open and every single demon stuck underground decided to take advantage of the situation to escape and have fun on Earth.
Missing only the presence of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (War, Death, Conflict and Fury) and the beginning of the end would have begun in earnest.
Bruce for many reasons, including being one of the main factors that triggered a possible biblical apocalypse, decided to end it all with a single move.
The hero knowing that having opened the gates of Heaven and Hell, I gain a certain ability to manipulate on the respective doors.
This skill combined with the knowledge gained from the Tablets of Angels and Demons, allowed Bruce to devise a crazy and almost suicidal plan.
Bruce flapping his five wings, positions himself in front of the Gate of Hell, instead of closing it and starting to clean up Las Vegas, he uses his magic to invoke the Gates of Heaven.
The Gates of the two realms that have been in open war since the beginning of creation are now facing each other, with Bruce between them.
"My life will burn with a glow that dims the sun!" Bruce shouts, before invoking the Tablets of angels and demons into his hands, then he smacks them against each other.
This command released the angelic and demonic energy of the two doors, activating the emergency plan of the almighty.
Between the two doors a pillar of indecipherable light has been created that almost sets the sky in the background.
In less than a second the pillar created a huge black hole that begins to suck up almost any celestial or infernal being.
Angels and demons were sent to a "cosmic basket".
The very few lucky ones who managed to return to their domains instead of being sucked into the black hole and driven out of this world, had part of a nasty surprise.
The gates of hell and Heaven closed for one last time, then crumbled into dust, preventing now that a celestial or infernal being could ever set foot on Earth without the voluntary help of a human.
Bruce's crazy plan paid off Las Vegas hasn't been completely destroyed, the apocalypse has been postponed again for a long time and Luz's soul is in good hands.
In short, Bruce managed to complete his mission. But there will be a heavy price to pay for the deeds he did to get Luz's soul.
No being, not even 1/3 human with divine blood and genes of every kind of magical creature, could open and close the Gates of Heaven and Hell, without consequences.
XXX
When relief efforts and government authorities went to what's left of Las Vegas.
Bruce Bahamut Belmont is already on the road away from the biblical disaster, going to complete the Resurrection of Luz Noceda.
XXX
Woz, the gray-robed Prophet, perfectly guards Luz's physical body, having prepared everything necessary to insert Luz's soul into her body.
Once Luz wakes up, completely unaware that she has been dead for nearly ten days.
The way back home was filled with questions and small existential crises from Luz trying to accept the fact that she was dead and resurrected.
When they both returned to the Owl House, disrupting funeral preparations and planning a search party ...
Some people, especially Amity, have overreacted to the sight of a lively and well-being Luz smiling awkwardly.
Bruce had to give a long explanation to his extended family and friends about what he's been up to over the past 10 days.
Obviously certain parts of the tale have been censored or heavily modified, especially the battle with Mundus, the events that took place inside the Cage and the transformation into the Black Beast.
Once all questions have been answered decent.
The reunited family decided to celebrate Luz's return, turning the funeral into a strange themed party, Day of the Dead.
A pity that this joy would not last long.
Because he was hiding something from his family and friends, his body was slowly breaking apart.
XXX
The next few days were some of the most serene days, followed by the most passionate nights of Bruce's life.
The entire mission to recover Luz took ten days.
Bruce's serenity lasted just as long, only getting out of bed or using magic became more and more difficult every day.
The cracks have also begun to appear abroad, making it necessary to use loose clothing and long sleeves to hide the marks.
Death was slowly approaching for the hero.
By the end of day 10, hiding the cracks became impossible for Bruce.
His entire body was breaking apart, piece by piece, reaching the point that his every movement made it crumble.
Bruce's life was the price to pay for playing with the forces of Heaven and hell.
At least Bruce managed to spend his last day with Luz and Amity, his favorite couple, made up of his best friend and rival.
A group hug, followed by the words I'm sorry and I love you were the last things Bruce saw, before disappearing completely, becoming a pile of gold dust.
XXX
Bruce's death destroyed the hearts and serenity of many people, especially the family and a small number of women.
Realistically, the world without Bruce hasn't stopped or exploded into a thousand pieces.
Life went on, although some people need a lot of help to function properly without Bruce in their lives.

At the moment Luz and Amity are walking in a cemetery.
Amity is holding a bouquet of flowers while Luz is carrying the new book of The Good Witch Azura.
Not long after, they find themselves next to each other in front of a black marble headstone.
The flowers and the book now rest at the base of the tombstone.
Amity remains silent, takes Luz's arm gently, wanting to help her fiancée get through the difficult time.
"I'm sad." Luz said, taking a deep breath through her nose, trying not to collapse.
Amity gently strokes his arm.
"It's okay, Luz. There's nothing unusual about that. We are all sad." Amity said, comforting Luz as she does best.
They both look at the smooth black marble that simply bears the words: Bruce Bahamut Belmont.
"I'm not really that mad, okay?" Luz said, not wanting to worry Amity who's already busy looking after Amelia.
Of all people, Amelia Blight, Amity's cousin / sister was the most devastated by Bruce's disappearance.
For some time she was even locked up in a psychiatric ward to help her accept Bruce's disappearance.
"All right." Amity said, turning away, freeing her arm from hers.
"I'll leave you alone, uh ... you know." Amity said, her voice breaking again.
Crying, Amity walks away, picking up a handkerchief to blow her nose.
Luz looks at the tomb, taking a deep breath. She looks over her shoulder to see that Amity is now out of earshot, then she turns to face the grave again.
"Um ... mmm. You ... you told me once that you weren't a hero, you were a simple Detective Occult who solves all sorts of mysteries or problems for fifty dollars an hour." Luz said, seriously trying not to cry over the loss of her.
"Umm ... there were times when I didn't even think you were human, but let me tell you: you were the best man and the most human ... human being I've ever known and no one will ever convince me that you told me a lie, and so ... Here. " Luz said, heaving a sigh, whimpering slightly.
Looking over his shoulder again, he approaches the tombstone and puts his fingertips over it.
"I was so alone before I met you, thanks to you I met Eda, discovered the world illuminated by the moonlight, the Boiling Isles, Amphibia, Gravity Falls.
We've been a part of so many adventures, you have no idea how much I owe you.
You've been my best friend, my partner, my Sherlock, my crazy hero dressed in an old coat and a wacky hat. "Luz said, taking a tearful breath.
Luz Noceda turns and starts walking away, but only reaches the foot of the tomb before turning back.
"Please, there's just one more thing, one more thing, one more miracle, Bruce, for me. Don't ... be ... dead. Would you do - just for me, just stop it. Stop this!" Luz shouts, in a desperate tone, hoping to see one last miracle.
Luz sighs, lowers her head and stands there, broken. Reflected in the smooth marble of the tombstone, her figure appears to have the name Bruce carved directly on her chest.
He lowers his head further, covers his eyes with one hand and cries.
Finally he wipes his eyes, sniffs deeply and raises his head, standing at attention in front of his best friend.
Waving him goodbye and giving himself permission to say goodbye, she elegantly turns on one heel and then walks away.
At that precise moment a strange miracle happened, the sound of a train whistle catches Kuz's attention.
Raising her head Luz can see a futuristic red train flying across the sky as two tracks formed in the air.
The train exited through a portal, through the cemetery, then disappears from the scene through another portal.
"Slap me thrice and hand me to me mama." Luz said, having received her sign from heaven.
Looking down at the tombstone, hoping to see Bruce in the flesh, he finds three strange objects instead.
A dual lens reflex camera manufactured by Blackbird, Fly, in a color described as "Decade Low Violet".
A kind of metal gadget in the shape of a book (Ride Booker) that seems capable of transforming itself into a gun and a sword.
A kind of futuristic belt (Decadriver) in white and hexagonal shape.
Two side levers, with three gems each, and the white center section had a red window with what looked like a barcode and symbol ring inside and a green gem on top.
And engraved right above this white part is a strip of metal and engraved in it was a word: Decade.
Luz as if the entire destiny of the world depended on it, took these three objects, trying them on herself.
"If anyone or anything can hear me, thank you very much for your miracle. But could you be more explicit, what am I supposed to do with a camera, a book and a belt?" Luz said, speaking to the sky, as if she were completely mad to bind.
At that moment the wind blows so strong that it opens the new book of The Good Witch Azura.
Showing two particular sets of images.
The Azura Witch receiving a new magical artifact from a Prophet, followed by a mission to travel to the lost content to save the world.
Inquisitor Rojo who is in the Land of the Dead receives a visit from an Angel who promises to send him to the Land of the Living if he completes an important assignment.

Standing some distance away under a tree and hidden from view by other tombstones, Woz watches Luz walk through the cemetery until she disappears from view.
"Luz is well on her way to becoming Decade, the Destroyer of Worlds.
My Waga Maou will meet the Fallen Angel, Ailes. Then his Planeswalker spark will ignite, allowing him to travel through the Multiverse.
Just as Luz will meet new people and new enemies, among them the Kamen Riders.
Bruce Bahamut Belmont will become Kamen Rider Zi-O, chasing his power he will reach the pinnacle transforming himself into the Demon King of Time, Aeon. "Woz said, in a dream tone, ready to do everything to make Aeon's birth possible.
Like writing the books of The Good Witch Azura or spending years assisting Bruce in his growth all to achieve this ending.
Woz looks thoughtful for a long moment, then turns and walks away.
A small white slit half a meter long appears in front of the Prophet dressed in gray.
The crack has grown both in size and in the five-pointed fork shape of the planeswalker symbol.
The air ripples as Woz breaks through the glowing crack in reality.
As soon as it passed through the crack, the glowing symbol withdrew into a crack and disappeared in a millisecond.
The story continues and ends in the next chapter.

All The World's Evil And More To Come (Fate/Legends - Oasis of Fantasy)(800): Such a disgusting thing. You truly are vile. Despicable, dark, monstrous, hateful, cruel. Evil. You are these things, in a way no one else is.
Through some truly terrible rituals and events, you have been shaped into becoming the perfect vessel and master of that very concept. You are All The World's Evils. And because of your nature, maybe not just this world either. As the incarnated form of the concept of evil for this world, you gain many abilities.
The core trait of this is the ability to transform yourself into a vile black and red mud - like substance. This black mud is the physical form of all the sins that make up your being. It is able to drive all but the greatest of men mad in seconds of contact and can be used to defile and corrupt other beings, turning them into blackened versions of themselves and ensuring their loyalty to your great evil.
You can rapidly produce this mud, enough to cover the entire world in just days, and the amount and speed with which you can produce it will grow as the amount of evil and sin in the world you are in does, as well as each new world you go to afterwards.
You can freely control this mud all around the world and possess awareness through it, even shaping it into fleshy structures and beings or turning it into animated shadow, such beings of flesh or shadow being immensely powerful in their own right. As well, so long as evil and sin continues to exist as a concept in your current world, you will be unable to die or be destroyed. Your mud will be destroyed ... and then begin to reappear quite quickly.
With time, you may even learn how to draw forth your dark substance from within the hearts of those who sin.
As your nature is that of Evil itself, you will find that you are unaffected by abilities that are purely evil, as well as being able to effortlessly control or enhance such things when you use them for yourself. You can reach into the hearts of those around you and manipulate any darkness that you might find there, making it easy to tempt heroes into becoming monsters and making you all that much stronger .
