Earth is unlike any other world in the Marvel universe.
It is a place that either gives birth to great beings or constantly draws them here. This truth is widely accepted across the cosmos.
Even the most powerful beings know not to act recklessly on Earth. Because when they arrive, they immediately sense a presence—an unfathomable force that suppresses arrogance and demands caution.
That power belongs to the Ancient One, the guardian sorcerer who has stood watch for centuries.
So when the Wolf God came to Earth, he didn't unleash his full strength immediately. He held back because of the Ancient One, and besides, he was confident enough to believe he didn't need all his might to win.
But now, things were different.
His opponent was far too strong—unbelievably strong.
He realized he was being overwhelmed.
If he didn't unleash more strength, he would fall here.
The Wolf God's expression shifted as he roared within himself.
"I've hidden away several powers—my immortal body, my spiritual essence, and my vampire rebirth. Do you know why I stand so close to the level of the Heavenly Father? It's because of these three gifts! And now, you will see how terrifying they truly are."
His tone was calm, but the quiet certainty in his words carried weight. His gaze locked onto Arakawa Zenkichi, eyes gleaming with cold determination. Slowly, he stretched out his palm, and an overwhelming aura began to spiral from his hand.
The moment his suppressed might emerged, space itself began to tear apart. The battlefield rippled violently as reality wavered.
The power was staggering—monstrous in every sense.
Just then, an ethereal voice descended upon them, calm and commanding.
"Seal."
The word was simple, but its resonance froze the battlefield. The broken space around them suddenly solidified, as though time and reality had been locked in chains.
The two combatants felt the shift instantly.
"What are you doing?" Zenkichi's voice was low, directed not at the Wolf God but at the Ancient One herself. It was she who had just intervened, sealing their battlefield and exiling it beyond Earth.
"The Wolf God intends to unleash his full strength. That power is too destructive. If allowed to erupt here, Earth itself would collapse. To protect this world, I had no choice but to exile the space."
Ancient One's tone was calm yet absolute, her presence undeniable.
Zenkichi's sharp eyes studied her for a moment, then he gave a slight nod. She wasn't lying. He had felt it himself—the Wolf God's unleashed power was indeed capable of ripping Earth apart. Protecting the world was reason enough for her actions.
Still, he couldn't help but feel a flicker of annoyance.
He, too, had been exiled.
Even if it was necessary, even if there was no other choice, that fact unsettled him.
"…Then let's end this quickly."
Zenkichi's gaze returned to the Wolf God, calm and unwavering. His aura surged, steadily climbing higher and higher. Power radiated from him like an unshakable tide, pressing forward with unstoppable force.
