Chapter 40 - Chapter 6:The Gathering Storm

**Scene 1: A New Challenger Appears**

As the dust from X's overwhelming victory settled, the arena remained silent.

The **Unbeatable Five had been utterly crushed.**

X stood tall, his golden aura fading as his **Chain of Berserker returned to his hand.**

The crowd **cheered his name**, but X simply sighed.

*"Man… I didn't even get to go all out."*

Suddenly—

**A loud clap echoed through the battlefield.**

**CLAP.**

**CLAP.**

**CLAP.**

From the **shattered space above, a hooded figure floated down.**

His **presence alone** made reality tremble.

X's **Omega Instinct flared up**, warning him—this wasn't an ordinary enemy.

The figure removed his hood, revealing **a smirk and glowing silver eyes.**

*"So you're the one causing all this chaos, OverKaizer."*

X narrowed his eyes.

*"And who the hell are you?"*

The figure chuckled.

*"You can call me… The Herald of Calamity."*

The **crowd gasped.**

Even Lyz, Z, May, and Y tensed up.

The **Calamity.**

The **ancient force that their parents feared.**

The reason why X and his siblings were made **to grow stronger.**

#### **Scene 2: The Power of the Herald**

X clenched his fists.

*"If you're here for a fight, I won't hold back."*

But before he could move—

**BOOM!**

A force **stronger than gravity itself** pressed down on the battlefield.

Even **X's body struggled for a second.**

The Herald **raised one finger, and the entire universe felt like it was collapsing.**

*"Relax, I'm not here to fight you yet. I'm just here to see if you're worthy."*

X's eyes **burned with determination.**

*"Then come test me."*

The Herald **grinned.**

*"Soon, OverKaizer. But for now—"*

With a snap of his fingers—

The Herald **disappeared.**

The weight vanished.

Everything returned to normal.

But the message was clear—

**The real battle was only beginning.**

#### **Scene 3: The War Council**

That night, X and his siblings gathered in a secret chamber.

Lyz crossed her arms.

*"The Calamity's forces are making their move."*

Z sharpened his **katana-scythe.**

*"That guy was only a scout. The real ones will come soon."*

May's **crossbow pulsed with power.**

*"Do we wait for them to come, or do we strike first?"*

Y set down his **forged weapons.**

*"We need to prepare. X, what's the plan?"*

X smirked.

*"Simple. We train harder. And when they come—"*

His golden aura **flared** once more.

*"—We remind them why we're the OverKaizers."*

The war against the **Calamity** had begun.
