329 Chapter 1

Every kingdom on the Clorius continent, be it human or demi-human regions, panicked after seeing an extremely majestic pillar of light suddenly appear and pierce the sky.

The impact was terrifying and made the entire continent shake violently. The kingdom's leaders had sent people to inspect the location. Unfortunately, the place where the pillar of light appeared was very far away and had completely disappeared when they arrived.

Even though the pillar of light had disappeared, the kings and queens of each kingdom couldn't calm down and continued to find out about the cause of it until now because they were worried that the pillar of light would harm the Clorius continent.

The dwarves and the people of the Cirlus Kingdom had to stop the construction process of the city guardian battle platform at the academy for a while until they found its cause and ensured that the situation was safe. They wouldn't be able to work if they knew that the Clorius continent was on the verge of collapse.

Meanwhile, the person who caused the phenomenon had returned to his cottage. Ziel sighed when he saw the residence where he lived because all that was left in the place was rubble. But with his current strength, he could easily rebuild his cottage.

After returning to the cottage, Kalya and the others gathered in the living room because they wanted to hear Ziel's explanation. Originally they wanted Ziel to rest first after a fierce battle against the Chaos Titan. But Ziel refused and said that he was fine.

Fortunately, Ziel wasn't as severely injured in that battle as in his fight against the other three continent guardians. The Chaos Titan did not fight seriously with the intent to kill him. Otherwise, the winner is still unknown. Even though Ziel was a true god, he wasn't sure he could defeat the Chaos Titan with that power.

Ziel, Kalya, and the girls sat on chairs at the round table in the living room. Ziel gathered them to tell them what the Chaos Titan had told him. He didn't want to hide it from the girls because they were his family.

Azalia and the others would find out sooner or later after primeval gods came and invaded the Clorius continent. Therefore, Ziel had intended to tell the matter earlier so that the girls could prepare to face the enemies that would come in the future.

"Leya, have you informed the principal about the problems in this area?" Ziel looked at Kalya and asked.

Before they were teleported to Azael's castle, the forest area of the academy had been invaded by the evolved beast horde, and Ziel's cottage was under attack from the Chaos Titan. It was conspicuous and must have caused panic in the Piqmentia Grand Academy.

Therefore, Ziel asked Kalya to inform Merlick that the area was safe and there was nothing dangerous in the academy. He didn't want to be disturbed when discussing an important matter with Kalya and the girls.

"I have already discussed the matter with the principal. When the pillar of light appeared, the academy's people panicked. When the principal and the teachers checked directly into this place, they only found the rubble of the destroyed cottages.

The principal and teachers were worried because I, the Princesses, and Queen Helena suddenly disappeared. But after they listened to my explanation, they were finally able to feel relieved and pulled back the mages and soldiers who were guarding this area." Kalya explained.

"That's good. I don't particularly appreciate being interrupted when I'm talking about something. But before I start explaining, I want to ask you to promise not to tell anyone about this matter, including your kingdom." Ziel said, and his eyes stopped on Princess Cordelia and Princess Irene.

Although he had no doubts about the two, they had recently become part of his family with the approval of Kalya and the others. Ziel trusted the girls' decision because they had a sharp intuition in judging a person's character. But he still had to confirm it directly with the two princesses.

"I promise I won't tell anyone, including my father!" Princess Cordelia answered without hesitation.

"Me too! I will never say what I heard here to anyone else!" Princess Irene added firmly.

Princess Cordelia and Princess Irene were not angry with Ziel's words because they felt it was natural, considering the two had just become part of the family. They must make him believe in them as much as he trusts Kalya and the others.

"Thank you. In that case, I will begin my explanation." Ziel smiled at the two girls. Then his face turned serious. Kalya and the girls nodded and waited for him to explain.

"The Chaos Titan is gone, and there are no more guardians on the Clorius continent." Ziel said, and the girls let out a sigh of relief.

"But because of that, the protection of the Clorius continent also disappeared, and it would be easy to get invasions from other worlds, especially from primeval gods." Ziel added. Kalya and the girls were shocked when they heard Ziel's words. On the other hand, Azalia trembled when Ziel mentioned that name. She didn't think Ziel would suddenly bring a primeval god into his explanation.

"Primeval god?" Queen Helena, Princess Cordelia, and Princess Irene were confused by Ziel's words as they heard about it for the first time.

"They were beings from another world with terrifying powers. Much stronger than the guardian of the continent." Ziel explained briefly.

"Is there such a terrifying creature in the outside world?" Princess Irene asked worriedly.

"There should be a lot of powerful beings like that out there. But the primeval gods were one of the strongest." Ziel talked about them like he knew very well about primeval gods, which confused Azalia. She was sure that she only explained a little about them to Ziel.

"Ken, why are you suddenly mentioning the primeval gods? Why do I feel you know so much about them?" Azalia asked in a trembling voice. Whenever she heard about a primordial god, she would remember the terrible incident in the divine realm.

"Before I answer your question, I will tell you something first because this is closely related to the primeval god and Azalia." Ziel knew Azalia was curious about why he knew so much about primeval gods. But he had to tell it from the beginning so that Kalya and others would understand.

"I understand." Azalia nodded. Although she was curious about how Ziel learned so much about the primeval god, she also wanted to hear another explanation from him. Since the matter was related to each other, then she would patiently wait for it.

"As you already know, I am neither from this era nor this world. I come from a world called earth, or so I believed before I spoke to the Chaos Titan." Ziel started his explanation, which made the girls react differently. Some were shocked, and the rest were confused by Ziel's words.

Those who were shocked were the girls who still didn't know Ziel's true identity, and they were Queen Helena, Princess Cordelia and Princess Irene.

"About that…" Ziel briefly explained his past to the three people, and they were shocked after hearing it. They didn't expect that Ziel was a hero from another world and reincarnated into this era. But the three smiled after knowing the truth and were proud of the man they loved.

"Then what do you mean by that? Weren't you summoned from a world called earth? What did the Chaos Titan say to make you doubt it?" Kalya urged Ziel to continue his explanation.

"I was indeed summoned from another world called earth. But I'm not a native of that world because I also reincarnated there." Ziel looked at the girls and smiled bitterly.

"What!?" This time the reactions of Kalya and the girls were uniform. The more Ziel explained, the more confused they became about his origins. Even so, they were just curious and didn't care about it. Whoever Ziel was, their love for him didn't change.

"So, who are you really, Ken?" Azalia asked and wanted Ziel to speed up the explanation.

"I come from a very distant world in a different dimension. I was called the Origin God in the past. I am part of the primeval gods and am their overseer." Ziel said seriously. Kalya and the girls held their breath when they found out the truth. They felt that Ziel's origins were too extraordinary and terrifying.

On the other hand, Azalia suddenly released her killing intent after learning that Ziel was part of the primeval gods. She lost control of herself from being consumed by her anger and slashed her sword at Ziel.

Kalya and the girls panic when they see Azalia's actions. They wanted to stop her, but it was too late because Azalia's movements were too fast for them. Ziel sighed and shook his head. He knew it was bound to happen when he told them about his true origins. Ziel raised his hand and caught Azalia's sword casually.

"Ugh! Let go of my sword!" Azalia roared with bloodshot eyes at Ziel.

"Calm down, Aze! You have to listen to my explanation to the end! After that, you can attack me again, and I promise I won't fight back at all." Ziel said straight into Azalia's mind to calm her anger.

Azalia trembled when she heard Ziel's voice. When she came to her senses, she remembered that she had swung her sword at Ziel and attacked with the intent to kill him.

"Aaaah! I'm sorry, Ken! I... I... I was angry when I heard you were part of the primeval gods. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Azalia panicked and quickly let go of her sword. Then she subconsciously stepped back, and tears fell from her eyes. Azalia regretted what she had done.

"Don't worry about it. I, Kalya, and others who know your past will understand the reason behind your actions. So you don't have to apologize for such a trivial matter. After all, you won't be able to hurt me." Ziel smiled and stroked Azalia's head gently.

"But… but… I attacked you, intending to kill you! How can I do that to you!? I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Azalia hugged Ziel and buried her face in his chest. Then she burst into tears.

Ziel sighed and rubbed her back to comfort her. After crying for a long time, Azalia finally calmed down. He released himself from Ziel's arms and looked at Kalya and the others.

"I'm sorry." Azalia bowed her head to the girls.

"Didn't you hear what Ziel said earlier? We know your past and how you feel when you hear it. Therefore, you don't need to feel guilty for your actions." Kalya smiled warmly and held Azalia's hand. Clara and the other girls surrounded her. They tried to calm him down and make him forget about it.

After Azalia calmed down and the girls returned to their seats, Ziel continued his story to them.

"Alright. Please listen to my explanation till the end. After that, you can tell me your opinion." Ziel looked at the girls and then stopped at Azalia. They nodded in response, and Ziel opened his mouth again.

"Before I reincarnated as Ken Nijisaki on earth, I was a primeval god. Because I was more special than the others and was the strongest among them, I earned the title of Origin God. I am the one who regulates the balance between worlds in various dimensions and also oversees those primeval gods..." Ziel explained to the girls what the Chaos Titan had told him without hiding anything.

Ziel tells of the Origin God, who was injured after fighting a powerful being from an unknown dimension and the ancient gods who rebelled and tried to kill him to take away his power. He also explained about the Origin God escaping to the Clorius continent and splitting his powers and memories to start a new life by reincarnating.

Azalia was shocked when she found out that her race came from Ziel's memories when he was still the Origin God. If what he said was true, then Ziel could be said to be the origin or ancestor of the divine race. She felt guilty for not listening to Ziel's explanation until the end and attacked him with killing intent.

"I… I'm sorry." Azalia said in a low voice and lowered her head. She didn't dare to look at Ziel's face.

"I have forgiven you, Aze. We don't need to talk about that anymore. The most important thing now is how we deal with them. I believe the primeval god will come to this continent very soon." Ziel said in a dignified voice, and his words left the girls dumbfounded.

"What!?"
