Shikama Doji stood in the sky, his eyes fixed on the epic battle between Anos and Kanon. These two old friends were now facing each other in combat. Every strike exchanged between them shook the very fabric of reality. Their swords clashed at speeds beyond light, and if left unchecked, the planet beneath them could easily be shattered into pieces. Shikama Doji gazed intently at Kanon. Kanon, a being with seven sources, had been granted immortality and unparalleled power. Even Shikama Doji did not possess such immortality.
Shikama Doji was certain that even with his authority to distort and alter as an outer god, he could not kill Kanon. But what caught his attention the most was Anos's demonic sword, **Venuzdonoa**. This sword was a weapon capable of destroying anything, even abstract concepts and reason itself. Shikama Doji was certain that this sword could kill even him. On the other hand, Kanon's holy sword, capable of altering fate, was a weapon that could harm Shikama Doji, a higher-dimensional being. This sword was nearly on par with Shikama Doji's scythe.
Shikama Doji watched the battle between the two with great interest Meanwhile, Anus pretended to be dead , and suddenly, **Jerga** appeared. A monster twisted by hatred and resentment, who had hypnotized humans with his magic. Shikama Doji smirked and looked at this tragic being. Someone trapped in a pit of hatred, believing he had free will, but in reality, he was being controlled by the holy magic of the gods.
"Kill them! Kill them! Kill them all! ، As long as demons live, there will be no true peace!" Jerga, using holy magic, created a gigantic body for himself. His voice was filled with malice and hatred toward demons. Kanon looked at Jerga in shock, but Shikama Doji simply waited for Anos to reappear.
Just as Shikama Doji expected, Anos revived and, together with Kanon, engaged Jerga in battle. Jerga's defeat was inevitable. Fate, or simply put, the plot of the story, always favored Anos. Shikama Doji was certain that defeating Anos in his own world was impossible. Anos reincarnated Jerga so that he could reunite with his family in the cycle of reincarnation.
"Well done, Anos! You managed to destroy this two-thousand-year cycle of hatred." Shikama Doji appeared before Anos and spoke with a hint of sarcasm. Anos smirked and said nothing. He knew that this outer god was far more skilled in speaking than he was.
Anos embraced Misha and Sasha, both of whom were crying as they hugged him. Even Misha, with her cold demeanor, and the tsundere Sasha were both weeping in Anos's arms. Shikama Doji did not interfere in this emotional scene. He knew that if he did, Anos would likely hurl a **Jio Graze** at him. In the end, everything concluded well, and everyone got what they deserved.

A grand party was being held at Anos's house. As Shikama Doji sipped his wine, he noticed Kanon staring at him. Kanon looked at Shikama Doji in shock. He couldn't see Shikama Doji's true nature, but he could clearly sense his divine presence and power. Shikama Doji smiled softly.
"What is it? Do you have something to say?" Shikama Doji asked in his usual gentle tone. Everyone's attention turned to him, even Anos looked their way.
"It's nothing... I'm just surprised to see a god here. Anos, are you friends with this gentleman... or lady?" Kanon asked in confusion. To him, it was strange to see a god with so much emotion. In Kanon's eyes, gods were emotionless robots who only cared about order. Seeing a god with so much emotion was unexpected for him.
"A friend... huh? I don't know if we can be called friends, but I consider him a friend." Anos paused for a moment before answering sincerely. To Anos, Shikama Doji truly was a friend.
"That's right. Anos and I are friends." Shikama Doji said in his calm, matter-of-fact tone. Anos's parents, tears in their eyes, looked at them and said, "I'm so glad you've found another friend."
Time passed, and Shikama Doji could be seen leaning against a tree, gazing at the starry sky. Meanwhile, Anos quietly joined him, and the two of them silently watched the stars together.
"I want to say goodbye, Anos. This has been truly interesting. I've obtained what I wanted. It's time for me to leave and continue my journey. If I stay too long, some people won't be happy. I wanted to ask you... would you like to come with me and explore other worlds together?" Shikama Doji looked at Anos and asked. Anos wasn't surprised. He had expected that one day Shikama Doji would leave.
"While exploring other worlds sounds interesting, I must decline. I have a family here. I can't go with you. If you had made this offer 2000 years ago, I might have accepted." Anos replied in a calm voice. Shikama Doji wasn't surprised. He knew that Anos was a man who deeply cared for his family and friends.
"... Let me do one last favor for you. Be wary of the gods, especially **Nosgalia**." Shikama Doji said in his usual gentle tone. His body turned into golden light and slowly faded away, leaving Anos deep in thought.
