He then looked up at the gallery windows, with the figure he was gazing at sensing his gaze and turning towards him, giving him a bright smile and a wave which he returned.

"But now, I highly doubt I'd be able to go through with that anymore."

Evan sighed and went silent for a moment, before turning to Arnold and saying.

"Returning to your original question, I'm guessing you wanted to know if, for some reason or any force of nature, I would ever turn against Aidos."

"…Spot on."

"Why you tryna ask that either way?"

"You're just a thirteen-year-old, saddled with the responsibility of leading your generation of Heroes to save an entire world, to save billions of people.

I wanted to know how you felt about it, and how you'd react when the pressure of that responsibility finally got to you."

Hearing Arnold's words, Evan smiled lightly and muttered ever so slightly.

"You really are a lucky bastard, Evansen."

"Despite how it may seem…the future is not exactly something I can predict with 100% accuracy. So, who knows?

Worst case scenario, something may happen to make me turn against Aidos as a whole, hopefully, that doesn't happen…"

Evan shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, none the wiser that he was speaking to the being who was saddled with the responsibility of putting him down if he ever turned against Aidos.

"But just so you know, I have no intention of being tied down by the absurd expectations of people.

I'm going to amass so much power and international authority, that such things would not affect me negatively.

Public opinion is a great force, but it can be easily overturned with the right amount of power. Take 'Strongest Human' Rathal for example.

He's still a household name despite his actions many years ago, simply because he's that powerful, and with power, comes authority, and the ability to shape public opinion as you wish.

That's what I'm aiming for."

Right after Evan spoke, the balcony doors came out and a familiar blonde girl emerged from them while carrying a black cat in her hands.

"Heya."

Eliza called out with a wave as she walked up to the two brothers, with Kuro jumping out of her arms and running up to Arnold's feet, staring at him in silence for a moment before diving into Evan's shadow.

"…What was that about?"

"I'm as lost as you are, bro."

Evan casually replied as even he did not know the reason for Kuro's strange action. He turned to Eliza but even she was as lost as the two were, so Evan decided to ask the cat about it later.

"I take it this is the first time we're properly meeting, so I'm still gonna introduce myself.

I'm Eliza; the girl who happens to be dating this piece of work."

"Arnold.

Thank you for having the patience to deal with him."

The two introduced themselves to each other in such a manner, completely ignoring the darkening expression on Evan's face.

"You two do realise I can hear you clearly, right?"

"Yep."

"Uh-huh."

Evan's brow twitched repeatedly after hearing their nonchalant replies, while Eliza covered her mouth with her palm to prevent her laughter from escaping her lips.

"I'm gonna be the mature one here and ignore your bullshit.

Where's Kayla?"

"She and Milena are probably still stuck with some of the older noble ladies who found them cute.

Also, between the three of us here, you are the youngest AND least mature."

The blonde girl answered Evan's latter question, before shooting back at his earlier quip, citing the fact that he was indeed the least mature of the trio.

As for Arnold, it was the age part of her statement that caught his attention.

"Wait…you're older than him?"

"Hmm? Yeah. What about it?"

Eliza tilted her head to the side as she answered, while Arnold only stared at her in silence for a few seconds before turning to Evan and asking.

"You prefer older girls?"

"Nahh…I prefer Eliza, she just happens to be older than me by a measly 2 yea-OW!"

Evan's reply was cut off by a forehead flick from the girl in question.

"What for?!"

"You talk too much."

As the two began their usual banter, Arnold only stared at them with a strange look on his face, remembering Evan's earlier words and sighing softly.

'Come to think of it, maybe I do prefer older girls.

Even 'she' was older than me by 2 years too…

I wonder how 'she' is now though, I kinda miss talking to her.'

Evan thought to himself as he remembered a certain girl from his home world, only to be snapped out of his thoughts when a butler came over and informed him that the Emperor was calling him.

Arnold and Eliza who were left behind, decided to take the opportunity to chat a bit and get to know each other a bit, under the watchful eye of a certain black cat who was suspiciously scrutinizing Arnold's every gesture from Eliza's shadow.

It was an infinite darkness.

No matter how far one went, there was no end

No matter how long one waited, there was no dawn.

There was one spot, where there was light.

A throne that floated within the darkness--Only there.

A being sat on this throne looking at a screen in front of him, displayed on the screen was the image of the blonde battle priestess and the Hero Killer who were chatting with each other.

"He's really sad about his brother not being there anymore, huh?"

He heaved a light sigh, before raising his right palm and calling out with his 'true voice'.

|Authority of Souls: Soul Preservation. |

The 'space' in front of him cracked open slightly and a small ball of light, about the size of two fists, fell out of the crack and into his open palm.

He then propped his left hand on the throne's armrest and rested his chin on his palm, staring at the ball of light in silence before saying.

"Now, then. What am I going to do with you?

I interfered in the time axis and removed it before it could be destroyed, but…what am I going to do with it?"

The man stared at the ball of light in his palm with his heterochromatic eyes, looking directly at the runes that represented multiple skills inside it.

Full Appraisal, Magic Control, Weapon Control, Paladin, Concealment, and Language Comprehension.

Those were the skill runes that were inscribed into the ball of light; the soul, that rested in this being's palm.

After staring at them in silence for a moment, an idea seemed to emerge in his mind as he spoke out loud.

"How about I use it to fill the missing gap in that world?"

|Authority of Reincarnation|

Multi-coloured strands of energy surrounded his body and the law of reincarnation's power began flowing around him.

"Now then, what were the coordinates for Earth V?"

He let the law of reincarnation's power wrap around the soul and then slid his hand across the screen to the right, changing the image being displayed to that of a large elliptical galaxy that was tens of thousands of lightyears in diameter.

Sliding his hands against the screen once more, he 'zoomed' in and the image changed to that of millions of stars and thousands of star systems.

After zooming in a few times, the screen now displayed the image of an average-sized blue planet, a grin appearing on his face as he spoke.

"There you are."
