Resurrection of the Gods’ King (神王復活, shin'ō fukkatsu) is the second episode of the Legend of Crystania: The Chaos Ring OVA series. The episode was aired on 22 January 1997.

Synopsis[]

 Garudi and his henchmen have burned down the Butterfly town and destroyed all the Chaos Rings. Only one ring remains, the one Sheru possesses. A report comes in that the Bell of Wakening has been located on the Black Island, but Garudi's men have been unable to ring it, because whenever someone touches a part of the ring the person crystalizes. Garudi is upset, because Muha did not inform him of any of this. He orders his mind to find the Protectors of the Seal to find out how he can ring the bell.

 At the Meeting Grounds (会合の地, kaigō no ji) the gods of Crystania have gathered because the Bell of Wakening has been ringing and some seals have come undone. The god Bruza wonders how this is possible, because they protected the Bell so that no Crystanian could ever ring it. Another god, Rumiss, reminds everyone foreigners have been living in Crystania and the spell that protects the bell does not apply to them.

 Redon and the others have reached the Village of the Sealed, and descend to the Cave of the Sealed underneath it. Once there they hear the Bell of Wakening in the distance and Protectors of the Seal suddenly begin disappearing, meaning the seal is coming undone. Meanwhile Garudi has reached the Village of the Sealed, but learns that someone has already been ringing the Bell of Wakening. He hurries to the Black Island. Boakes and Jenoba follow him. Redon and the others find Aderishia, but are unable to free her. Suddenly, during another episode of seals coming undone, Irim gets possessed and he tells everyone their destination is the Black Island. In one of the seals the group spots an enormous dragon. With all the seals breaking, Nasare believes it's only a matter of time before Aderishia's seal breaks. Irim leads Redon, Nasare and Kirim to the Black Island. Kwairde heads to Dayton castle where they expect Aderishia to be revived.
