Spoilers for Xenoblade: Chronicles ahead

Upon the defeat of the god, Zanza, Shulk wished for a world without gods. His wish came true. All trace of Zanza's and Meyneth's existences were erased from his world as it was reborn.

But the power of the two gods could not be erased as easily.

Zanza, with the power of two gods at his disposal, as he was purged from the universe of his creation, fell through the gaps between universes, landing at last in one where he would finally come to. A world where he could start again. Where he could begin anew his reign as a god, create life subservient to him, against the will of that world's leaders, without his full strength-

What do you mean 'without full strength?' No matter. I still wield the power of both of the original Monados. They shall fall, as Meyneth had so easily-

Where. Are. My. Monados?!

Er, that is, he must reclaim the powers that are so rightfully his, even if he must work with the mortals that live there in order to do so.

'Ah, the sweet irony of quickening the End with kindness.'

Also, New Dawn! They're a good person for fact checkery too!

The cover art (taken from a wiki, if anyone knows the original source, let me know) depicts Zanza Monado-less and without wings and halo.

If you've not played Xenoblade: Chronicles, I highly recommend it. Lengthy game with amazing story.
