After the ball of light swallowed Ziel, Kalya and the girls who were blown away several hundred meters from the clash of two forces had recovered a bit of their condition. They had also been freed from the barrier that Ziel had set up because it had suddenly disappeared.

The girls were confused and decided to check it out in person. But when they arrived at the battleground of Ziel and the Chaos Titan, they found no one there. Kalya and the others were sure they had seen a dazzling light from that place not long ago.

"Where did Ziel go?" Princess Iris asked and looked around frantically.

"Shouldn't they be fighting here? Where are they now?" Queen Helena was worried when she didn't find Ziel in that place.

"They did fight here before. But their presence suddenly disappeared. I'm sure Ziel is fine since I can feel it from this artifact. You should be able to feel it too." Kalya showed the ring on her finger and then looked at Princess Aishia, Princess Freya and Clara.

After Ziel's fight with the Archaic Knights, the girls complained that he kept doing something dangerous alone and worried them. Because of that, Ziel added a new function to the artifact he gave Kalya and the other three girls to allow their consciousness to connect and feel each other. Ziel also intended to make the same artifact for the other girls, but he didn't have time to do so.

"You are right. I feel it too. I forgot that Ziel added a new function to this artifact." Princess Freya nodded and touched the pendant hanging around her neck. Clara and Princess Aishia also touched their hairpins and bracelets.

Azalia and the other girls, including Queen Helena, were envious when they found out about it. They thought the four girls could keep in touch with Ziel anywhere and anytime.

"You don't need to look at us with such an expression. Ziel intended to make the same artifact for you, but he didn't have time due to recent problems." Kalya explained that she didn't want Azalia and the others to think that Ziel was favoritism towards them.

"Ah, it turned out like that." Queen Helena nodded awkwardly as her daughter kept looking at her.

"Cough! Alright. We don't need to talk about that for now. We better spread out and look for Ziel around this area. Since the floating castle doesn't exist anymore, I think he fell somewhere on land." Azalia tried to divert their conversation because she was embarrassed to have been caught by Kalya and jealous of them.

"Yes. You're right, Miss Azalia. We have to comb this whole area. I'm sure Ziel is around here." Lilith nodded in agreement with her words.

"You don't need to address me with honorifics since we are family now. So call me by my name directly. The same goes for everyone." Azalia smiled and looked at Lilith and the others.

Lilith and the girls looked at each other and then nodded. They didn't have time to talk about the matter because the most important thing now was to find Ziel. The current situation reminded them of what had happened in the territory of the Beast Kingdom after Ziel fought against the Sacred Demonel.

"Alright. We spread now. If you find him, please immediately inform the others." Kalya looks at the girls and gives them instructions. None of them objected to that. Azalia and the girls nodded, and they flew in eleven different directions.

Meanwhile, in a gray area, Ziel looked in bewilderment at the humanoid figure created from a mass of energy that suddenly appeared in front of him. The creature was the Chaos Titan, and he looked at Ziel differently. Ziel reacted like that, not because of seeing the person's figure but the way the Chaos Titan called him.

"What do you mean by that word? My lord? I don't understand what you're saying." Ziel looked at the Chaos Titan and asked.

"Before I answer your question, let me tell you something first, my lord." Chaos Titan said politely. Ziel was silent for a while, confused by his sudden change in attitude, and then opened his mouth.

"Go on." Ziel didn't know what his opponent was thinking. But he was curious about why the Chaos Titan called him that and had to get an explanation about it.

"Thousands of years ago, the universes of various dimensions were ruled by a race called primeval gods. Although they were few, their strength was terrifying, and among them, there was one that was unique and surpassed all others. He was called the Origin God." Chaos Titan explained slowly.

Ziel frowned when he heard the primeval god from the Chaos Titan story. He guessed they were the same people who had destroyed Azalia's hometown. But Ziel had to hear Chaos Titan's explanation further and confirm it.

"The Origin God exists to maintain the peace and balance of the universe in various dimensions. Apart from that, he also kept an eye on the other primeval gods. But once upon a time, the Origin God fought an extremely powerful invader from an unknown dimension.

Even though the Origin God had won, he was seriously injured and took a long time to recover. When the primeval gods found out about it, they revolted. They tried to kill the Origin God and take away his power.

Because of that, a tremendous battle broke out that destroyed many planets in the universe. But the Origin God couldn't fight those primeval gods in his injured state. He decided to run away from them and hide. Then he found the Clorius continent during his escape and decided to stay there." The Chaos Titan looked at Ziel nostalgically. Ziel raised his eyebrows when he heard those words because he felt familiar with the battle.

(Is the battle the same as I saw in my dream?)

Ziel was sure that the Chaos Titan's story about the battle between the Origin God and the primeval gods was the same as the one in his dream, and it might have something to do with him.

"Please continue." Ziel didn't want to know about the Origin God but focused on the primeval god who was after that person because they might be the ones who had ravaged the divine realm and would become his enemies in the future.

"To avoid being chased by the primeval gods, the Origin God decided to reincarnate into a world in another dimension. But before that, he separated his power and memory." Chaos Titan replied.

"What do you mean by separated his power and memory?" Ziel frowned and asked.

"Origin God decided to start a new life as an ordinary human. He wanted a quiet and peaceful life. Because of that, Origin God separated his power and memory. He changed his power to the four continent guardians and the system on the Clorius continent so the residents could protect themselves. His memory..." Chaos Titan explained, but Ziel cut off his words.

"Wait a minute. What do you mean by the system on this continent?" Ziel knows about the guardian of the continent but doesn't understand the system.

"Aura is the energy knights use with aura seals as their power level. Mana is the energy used by mages with magic circles as their power level. Spirit power is the energy used by the spirit user, and the spirit circle is their level of strength. Besides, there are also skills on this continent. Be it for natives or summoned people from another world. It is what is called the system." Chaos Titan explained in detail.

"I understand. Then you can continue your explanation. I'm sorry for interrupting." Ziel nodded in understanding and said apologetically to the Chaos Titan.

"You don't have to think about that. I will continue my story. The Origin God changed his memories into a new race but not on the Clorius continent because he didn't want his powers and memories to reside in one world and be discovered by the primeval gods." Chaos Titan doesn't seem to mind Ziel's interruption and continues his story.

"Where did he create a new race?" Ziel narrowed his eyes at the Chaos Titan. Although he had already guessed in his mind, he couldn't help but ask to confirm.

"Judging from your expression, you must already know that world. Yes, the Origin God created a new race from his memories in a world called the divine realm in another dimension." Chaos Titan said flatly.

Ziel's face darkened after he heard that answer. He had guessed it. But when he heard it directly from the Chaos Titan, he couldn't help but feel shocked. Ziel thought the demise of the divine race had something to do with the Origin God, who might as well have something to do with him.

"Then what does that story have to do with me, and why do you call me 'my lord' when you see me? Didn't you want to kill me before?" Ziel re-questioned the gist of their conversation as he already knew enough about what he wanted to know. He didn't want to linger in that place because Kalya and the girls would be worried. After all, he suddenly disappeared in the battle.

"Haven't you noticed yet? The Origin God reincarnated in another world and was unexpectedly summoned back to this continent as a hero. He defeated the king of the divine race but decided to reincarnate at the end." The Chaos Titan looked straight into Ziel's eyes.

"Are you saying that I am the reincarnation of the Origin God and not his descendant? Are you sure? Don't you recognize people wrongly?" Ziel frowned as his guess was wrong. He thought he was a descendant of the Origin God in another world. Because of that, he could get some of those memories of when he had sex with Azalia. Even though he was shocked, Ziel tried to keep his composure.

"Among the four guardians of the continent, only I can recognize the Origin God. At first, I also thought that you were his descendant when I saw you cast reincarnation magic on a small island. Therefore, I decided to test you and prove it. Then I changed the trajectory of your reincarnation. I made you born into gray-haired people as my son so I can monitor you more easily. I can sense the presence of gray-haired people wherever they are on this continent.

After that, I kept an eye on your growth in secret. Back then, I didn't expect that you would be recognized as irregular by another continent's guardians. But it's still within my estimation. Ah, I'm sorry I disturbed your life by bringing the golden-haired Princess of the Aurelia Kingdom to you because I intend to make your life more colorful." Chaos Titan explained. He was an old fortune teller who met Princess Freya when she was a little girl.

"No. It doesn't answer my question. What makes you believe that I am the Origin God?" Ziel shook his head and repeated his question to the Chaos Titan. He didn't care about the Chaos Titan's actions that had led to Princess Freya's feelings towards him because he now also loved her.

"You're right that it doesn't prove anything. What makes me believe that you are the Origin God is that you can absorb the power of the continents' guardian. The power was originally yours and will return to you. You were able to absorb that power not because you are from the gray-haired clan but because you are the Origin God." Chaos Titan said firmly.

Ziel was shocked after hearing that explanation. He didn't expect that he had such a past. His guess was wrong, and Chaos Titan's words were very reasonable and convincing. Then Ziel subconsciously opened his mouth.

"My names were Ken Nijisaki when I was in Japan and Ziel Grisel on the Clorius continent. I'm not the Origin God. If I was the reincarnation of the Origin God, then it was something that happened in the past, and now I have my new life. So please don't bother me." Ziel said coldly.

"I know about it. I will not interfere with your life, my lord." The Chaos Titan replied calmly.

"Then why did you attack my family and bring me here to fight? Even though I know you don't intend to kill me, your actions could harm the people I care about." Ziel narrowed his eyes and asked.

In his battle with the Chaos Titan, Ziel sensed that his enemy's attack had no intention of killing him. Even so, he couldn't lower his guard in the middle of a battle, as doing so could be fatal to him. Therefore, he didn't think much of it and continued to attack the Chaos Titan with everything he had.

"I apologize about it, my lord. But I have to do it to test you and make sure you're ready." The Chaos Titan said apologetically and bowed his head in front of Ziel. He looks like a servant in front of his master.

"Ready for what?" Ziel raised his eyebrows because he didn't understand the meaning of Chaos Titan's words.

"Ready to regain the power of Origin God." The Chaos Titan looked at Ziel and said seriously.
