## Summary

### Day 141: December 12, 2033

Nugget and Chloe witness the explosion of Jun's house and rush towards the burning wreckage. Inside, they find Jun lying on the floor, gazing at the sky through the opened roof. Nugget urges Jun to get up, but Jun expresses a desire for them to leave. When questioned why, Jun reveals that Toast, the perpetrator of the explosion, destroyed his house, and Jun is determined to seek revenge by killing him.

Phoenix and Will walk through a bridge, encountering a Poxian that Phoenix slices in half. They discuss the Wood War, with Phoenix revealing that Mark informed him that Xuanyu, not Moises, killed Moises. They express disbelief over a war sparked by wood. They approach the portal to get out of the Poxus world and decide to check on everyone in Mainland. Upon entering the portal, they witness Jun's new house on fire. Will immediately rushes towards the burning house, calling out for anyone inside. Phoenix hesitates but eventually enters to find Jun standing with his sword and armor amid the flames. Phoenix pulls Jun away from the fire, expressing concern. Jun, filled with rage, reveals that Toast is responsible for the destruction, as Jun had disclosed the location of the drip to him. Phoenix suggests attacking Toast, prompting Jun to stand and watch his burning house. As they run to confront Toast, Phoenix observes Jun's sword, realizing the fire might consume him. They confront Toast as he is leaving Izuzunu next to Edison's Nightclub. Toast greets them, and Xuanyu questions if the conflict has started. Toast denies it but suggests they begin, sparking Jun's desire for revenge. Jun, consumed by rage, no longer cares about the war and is determined to kill Toast.

Phoenix and Jun discuss who should initiate the attack, with Phoenix promising to join if Jun lands the first hit. Before they can decide, George appears out of nowhere and attacks Toast with an axe, which only cuts into Toast's armor. Toast retaliates by blasting George away. Phoenix manages to slash Toast's arms with his fire sword, causing pain. Toast starts running away, prompting everyone to give chase. Toast is quickly outnumbered in the pursuit, and Will surprises him by smacking his helmet off with a sword. The epic chase unfolds as the group attempts to catch Toast. Amidst the confrontation, Xuanyu murmurs under his breath, "This isn't fair," because he perceives an unfair advantage in the ongoing battle. In the intense battle against Toast, Jun lands a powerful kick on his back, causing him to nearly fall. Phoenix joins in, delivering punches that leave Toast in pain with a bleeding nose. George attempts a final blow, but Toast blocks it and counters with a punch to George's stomach. George falls to his knees in pain, and Toast questions their intentions. Jun, expressing his anger for the destruction of his house, punches Toast in the throat. In retaliation, Toast releases emerald plasma, catching Jun in its blast and flinging him into a nearby wall. Phoenix, in response, unleashes azure fire, a second form of the fire spellbind, turning the air hot and causing the ground to smoke. The battle intensifies as Phoenix and Toast exchange powerful energy attacks. Phoenix appears to be on the verge of defeat, but he utilizes half his strength to consume Toast's green plasma with his light blue flames. The resulting explosion propels Toast into the river, marking a significant moment in the epic battle. After being flung into the river, Toast swims back in pain and lies on the shore. Phoenix's impressive display of powers leaves Nugget and Chloe amazed at the election stage. The group, equipped with powerful armor, confronts Toast. Phoenix, with a serious expression, demands an apology from Toast for blowing up the bomb in Jun's house. Toast apologizes, but before they can act further, Will unleashes his azure plasma, poised to end Toast. However, Toast uses his plasma to propel himself into the sky, escaping before Will can deliver the final blow. Everyone is left in shock as Toast disappears with his powers. Phoenix, realizing Jun's condition, rushes him to the hospital in God's Kingdom, where they discover he was severely wounded during the collision with the emerald plasma. Phoenix expresses frustration and apologizes to Jun, acknowledging their failure to avenge him.

### Day 143: December 14, 2033:

Two days later, Jun, refusing to stay at the hospital, runs away. He opens the walls to get out of God's Kingdom and encounters Xuanyu. Anxious to know about Toast's whereabouts, Jun aggressively questions Xuanyu. Xuanyu advises Jun to rest, explaining that Toast had apologized for the bomb incident, and Phoenix had already dealt with him. Jun, feeling helpless and depressed, walks away. Xuanyu watches Jun's departure and comments on the unfairness of the recent confrontation against Toast. Jun, perplexed by this statement, questions the concept of fairness in the world. Xuanyu emphasizes the lack of fairness, and Jun reflects on his visions of the nuke attack from Zeithon on his home country. Evelyn interrupts Jun's contemplation, greeting him with a smile. As they exchange pleasantries, Xuanyu enters God's Kingdom. Evelyn informs Jun about Toast's plans to bring powerful friends with a formidable plasma spellbind, emphasizing the need for caution.

At the Chaos Team's base, Toast reflects on the unexpected power of their adversaries. Toast calls for Hades, a bulky figure with glowing red and blue eyes and white hair, and receives the command to go to Izuzunu, responding that he will go with Kratos whenever he feels like it. Toast then addresses three individuals named Norman, Cyclone, and Skull, instructing them to go to Izuzunu immediately. Norman, with bright blonde hair and a yellow suit, Cyclone, adorned in white-painted armor with white hair, and Skull, wearing a cape with torn ends, rise from the table after playing cards, expressing readiness for their mission.
