"Welcome Martial Saint."
Unknowing of the reality, the crowd still shouted loudly at the foot of the mountain.
Little did they know that the God of the Human World they called upon, the group of Martial Saints, had long been in despair.
The battle atop Undying Peak continued, with the thick black fog shrouding the sky like a prehistoric giant beast. All the Martial Saints felt deep despair and helplessness.
This feeling was something they hadn't tasted for many years. Since they achieved Martial Saint status by merging with the Martial Saint Tower, they had been the omnipotent Divine Spirits of the human world.
But today, a monster had forcibly brought them down to the mortal realm.
The monster before them had already been resurrected three times: first using the body of Sakura's Three Saints leader Ritsuko Yanagi, the second time as Australia's Martial Saint Ror, and now as Russia's Ivan.
