The sky over planet Earth was painted in shades of crimson, enviously watching the chaos that unfolded on its surface. Loud explosions in Ukraine interrupted the silence, and where once peaceful train stations stood, now cries for help and fear echoed. A passenger sitting in a kiosk near the ruined station recalled moments of safety when global news didn't shock everyone with tragic plots. He raised his tablet and clicked on the headline: '[Panic on crowded Ukraine train: passenger describes moment of Russian drone strike](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgjwpq4pggjo?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss)'. Each word hit like a heartbeat. But on the other side of the planet, in restless Iran, the air was also thick with fear. "Don't take us to a hospital!" - said protesters, who remained in the shadows for medics willing to risk their lives helping them at home. While some fought for freedom, others simply sought to survive as the government restricted [internet access](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz7y2ddgl23o?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss) to control dissidents. "It's good they are still willing to take risks," thought one of the protesters, envying their courage, as the thought of fighting for freedom troubled his mind. Meanwhile, at the White House, former President Trump was again resorting to ominous words, warning Iran: '[Time is running out](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly5pd459gko?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss)'. His attempts to flex muscles on the international political stage drew significant attention — especially when threats were interpreted as signals of destruction. Kratos sat on the edge of the world, in the void between realms, observing these events through his invisible screen. "Old friend, the story is simply repeating itself. One god and one king, never facing, yet waging war, raising nations to battle! Is it not so?" Deadpool, as always, popped in unexpectedly with a fiery joke: "Is this what you're talking about? Now everyone reconciles with their elevators on the sixth floor in supermarkets with the slogan 'not my fault'. Ha-ha! Where’s the food, god?" "And why do you always get distracted by nonsense?" - asked Kratos, rolling his eyes. "Your life is in danger, and you joke? What are you going to do — play board games during the apocalypse?". "Oh, what, can't you see how the jump rope pauses the drone wars with the guys in Ukraine? What do you say about [the nest of wars](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czej2z3zz9jo?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss) that swells in Europe while demands for the EU to stop outsourcing defense commitments only grow?" - Deadpool retorted cheekily. At that moment, unexpectedly and disdainfully, Scorpion appeared: "Get over here! I'm here to finish this. War and vengeance — that's what they know! Tell them, Kratos." Kratos, with all his hundred percent enthusiasm, replied, "This isn't merely vengeance; it is a choice. A choice to protect what we love. A choice to change the course of history." Meanwhile, in Europe, the new German government was reacting urgently to investigations regarding money laundering at [Deutsche Bank](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx20199qzj9o?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss). Experts doubted whether this would lead to anything more than just political drama. "Maybe they are preparing a new threat to peace in society, while calls for the EU to stop outsourcing defense obligations only grow." The surreal conspiracy of events intertwined with one another. At that moment, the radio opened for an exaggerated news segment: '[Amazon confirms 16,000 job cuts after accidental email](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2ywzxlxnlo?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss) Friends, hear this news. If you tumble out of your chair into the air, how does this relate to the sphere of persecutions and losses?". How was it all connected? People’s apartments filled with dollars and anger while millions of dreams painfully crushed in the quiet freshness of rooms. Continuing to deal with their affairs, because laughter was the only way to feel anything other than stress and fear, they managed to gather again and discuss actions. And who will now ultimately stop them; which of the numerous weapons soar into the air, Iran or the helpless wars that are still ongoing? And though his thoughts churned around global catastrophes and social conflicts, Kratos realized: the choice had always been in the hands of those who lived in this endless stretch of time, flowing between the scorched furs of forgotten peace and the immortality of merciless actions. Time is running out, but thinking remains, and the notion that we are the creators of our future. As the world prepared to plunge again into the tangled web of new conflicts, Kratos and Deadpool did not forget to offer their friends on this synchronization line a symbol of hope — a smile. Thus, with faith in the end of paths and with awareness that it is worth being at the time and place to choose the light on the way to new horizons.
