The silence inside the Shadows was suffocating, but it was the voice within that broke through the void, cutting into Quest's thoughts like a blade.

"I failed," Quest muttered under his breath, clenching the controls of the Godslayer.

But then, that familiar, chilling voice echoed inside his mind—his own, yet darker, stronger. "There is no such thing as failure. We did not go from Hell to Heaven and back for nothing. Do you want to avenge our parents? If you don't, their lives would have been in vain."

Quest's heart raced as anger swelled within him. His vision blurred, and the weight of his parents' deaths bore down on his soul. His grip tightened, and the Godslayer responded. Its usually calm blue eyes flared a menacing red, pulsing with the fury building inside.

The Godslayer's roar tore through the void, a sound so powerful it reverberated through the Shadows. The dark space around them quaked under the pressure, and in an instant, the Shadows shattered. The force was so immense it tore Leliel apart, its angelic form dissolving into nothingness.

Quest didn't stop. The Godslayer emerged from the void, gripping Unit 01 in its massive hands, pulling it back into the light with him. His breathing was heavy, the red glow of the Godslayer's eyes slowly dimming, but the rage still simmered beneath the surface.
