After defeating the Eviland’s enemies and the final boss, The Eviland is in the merge of extinction, Whiteland and both Eveland is now in complete apocalypse and almost unhabitable (because the snow fairy was being captured by both Eviland chiefs), the war is not ended yet, the previous villains were defeated by both Zolaman and Zolagirl and their allies, both chiefs of Eviland Meteorite and Kryptonite were mad and take revenge on Zolaman’s Gang, which it hired an unstoppable villain, named Vii.
