In a dark dimension where everything lay in ruins, floating debris in an endless void painted a grim and cold scene. Amidst this desolation, only one figure remained, surrounded by the fragmented body of another, scattered across different timelines along with drifting memories in the vast space.
"Naval... I've finally killed you... After countless repetitions just to gather enough strength," Shen looked at Naval with serene eyes, as if avenging some deep-seated grudge.
"What should I do now?" Shen dusted off the remnants of his slain enemies and the blood from his body, glancing around the empty space.
"Yes, that place. I need to go there and restore it to its original state! My dream is to live happily with her!" Shen pulled out a photo of a girl, smiling through tears that streamed down his face.
"Wait for me..." Shen began to use his temporal powers, opening a rift and stepping through, leaving the destroyed dimension behind.
On the other side was another ruined space, but with a gentle light providing a hint of peace. There, a ring floated, and Shen smiled, tears welling up. It was a symbol of his love for Elena, the girl he cherished deeply.

"Shen, close your eyes. I have something to show you," Elena said.
Shen closed his eyes, feeling happy and excited. "Alright, alright, I'm ready!"
Elena reached into her pocket and pulled out an object. "Now, open your eyes."
When Shen opened his eyes, he saw a ring. Elena smiled, and Shen slipped the ring onto his index finger.
"Thank you, Elena..."
#### Back to Reality
Shen took the ring and wore it, a mixture of pain and nostalgia washing over him.
"Alright, let's recreate the initial world." Shen began reconstructing the first world, the dimension, and the scattered fragments slowly reassembling, restoring it to its original state.
Silently, Shen entered a heavily guarded mansion, a place known for being impenetrable. He created a growing black sphere, which swallowed and destroyed the underground lab along with an artificial child named Naval, eliminating a potential future threat.
The sphere vanished, and Shen escaped successfully. The event became known as the Evich Incident, attributed to a secret machine developed by the Evichy family for unknown purposes.
"Alright," Shen smiled happily, tears of guilt from the past mixing with relief.
"Now, let's enjoy..." Shen arrived at Elena's old house, appearing weary from a long journey, and lay down on the familiar bed, smiling warmly at Elena.
"Elena... you're so beautiful," Shen smiled with genuine happiness.
Despite his bloodstained hands and the destruction he had wrought, as long as he had Elena, he could live. Shen needed only Elena. Perhaps from the moment they met, he had chosen to do everything for her. Maybe it was their immense love.
Shen thought to himself, "My hands are stained with blood, but it doesn't matter. As long as you're here, everything will be alright..."
