All beings are still bound in samsara, which is the cycle of death and rebirth. Not long after the war, the goddess Lyra passed away and was reborn in the human world according to her karma. Gods live in the heavenly realms because of their power of kindness.

Some time had passed after the battle in the god realm...

In a great meeting attended by the gods. A god gives news about the condition of the world.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, there are reports that a movement of the demons on earth. They have attacked the Shira kingdom. This will have the potential to harm humanity in the future."

"We have to watch out for them. Do all of you have any suggestions?" asked the Emperor.

"How about we attack them directly?" replied a god.

"That shouldn't be done because it will cause great chaos on earth. Besides, what's the difference between us and them if we directly slaughter them on the basis that we are stronger than them? They will only hold grudges and hatred will never end." The advisor of god spoke.

"So, you're saying we should just keep quiet?" asked another god.

"It is not like that." The emperor's majestic answer helped the advisor explain to them. "But by changing their character. They are also creatures and part of the universe."

The group of gods agreed and nodded their heads.

"Then what steps shall we take?" asked a god.

The young god who looked to be 16 years old then came forward.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to take on this task. I will descend into the human world and watch over their movements and protect humanity."

The other gods were surprised, one of them said, "Isn't it a problem for you? Your virtue is great, and your lifespan is still so long in heaven. But you have to go back to life as a human."

But when they know that their life in heaven is not long, some gods grieve especially when they know the destination where they will be reborn. The parable is about when a rich man finds out that he is bankrupt. Some people cannot accept the fact that happened. But in this case, Cygnus, the superior god is willing to come down to the world out of compassion and love for the human world.

"No problem. I will do it for the good of all." The god answered.

"You've done a great job, Cygnus." Then the Emperor checked the suitability of this god in terms of relevance to his mission. Because if he doesn't fit in, then he can't carry out this mission. This compatibility is a karmic bond with the people around him later when he is in the human world.

After checking, the Emperor saw that this god was suitable for carrying out this mission. That's why he's more suited to this mission.

"Pardon my impertinence, Your Majesty. I object to Cygnus carrying out this mission. Because in the previous mission, he did not perform well. He instead protected a rebel god," said the god of fire.

The emperor was silent for a moment and then said, "He feels uncomfortable because it is his close friend. Besides that, I don't see any other suitable god than him descend into the world."

The gods fell silent and finally understood it.

"Then I declare that you accept this mission and carry it out well."

"Very well, Your Majesty," Cygnus replied with determination.

The god then checked himself where he would be born. Because of his karmic bonds that suit a certain region, he saw a vision directed at a kingdom called Demetria. A prosperous kingdom where the king and queen have virtue.

"Have you found out where you were born?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. It is the kingdom of Demetria."

The emperor smiled. Of course, the emperor also knew where Cygnus would be born. Thus, the deity descended into the world out of compassion and for the good of all, human and demon. But on the other hand, implied his wish to be reunited with the goddess who had just died and his close friend, Aquila who had fallen into the human world. He knew that they were in the human realm.

and then the queen was declared pregnant by the royal physician. Surely this is news that brings joy to the kingdom except for Dion, the king's younger brother. Because at that time, the king and queen were hoping for a successor.

Prince Claes woke up after three days after the battle at that time. He slowly opened his light blue eyes and now he recalled the events of the meeting in heaven and the notice from His Majesty the Emperor.

"Young god."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

explained the Emperor.

When Claes was a child and was kidnapped by a giant, he doesn't remember what happened. That's when his strength did rise. But because his body is still small, he forgot about it.

"When your body is in a state of readiness and when your emotions have subsided after the awakening of your powers, then you will remember the events of this grand meeting as well as your duty," continued the Emperor.

After recalling, he turned his head and saw Eudora sleeping by his side while sitting with her arms folded on Claes' bed. Being carried away by memories of his past in heaven, he had the perception,

Claes tried to get up. Due to the prince's movement, Eudora woke up from her sleep, slowly opened her eyes, and saw Claes. She was surprised and tried to see more clearly.

"Prince, are you awake?"

"Y-yes..." replied Claes trying to sit up.

Eudora rejoiced to see Prince Claes had regained consciousness and then burst into tears.

"Why are you crying, princess?"

"I'm glad you finally awaken after three days when it happened. I was worried about your condition."

"The important thing is that I've awake," Claes said with a faint smile on his face to calm Eudora's heart.

"I will inform the king."

"Wait a minute."

"What's wrong, prince?"

"You'd better get some rest. You must be tired of looking after me from the look on your face."

"Uhm... Alright, prince."

"Thank you... Eudora..."

Eudora has swept away in joy because the prince called out her name since her presence here.

"Then, I am going out first."

Prince nodded.

After Eudora stepped out, the prince looked out through the high window in his silence because he had realized his purpose in this world. And now, he knew the person he was fighting against. It was Aquila, his friend in heaven.

Not long after, a thought crossed his mind, "How are Ryan and Taddeus?"

Then the father came in.

"My son..."

The prince turned, "Father..." while getting up from his bed.

With feelings of emotion, the king hugged his son. "Lucky son. You're awake."

Claes embraced his father too. "Yes. I'm fine now."

After that touching meeting, Claes asked something, "Father. What about the warriors? How are Ryan and Taddeus?"

"They are recovering, Taddeus has regained consciousness and so has Ryan. There is nothing to worry about. You should rest first and don't worry about royal matters," said the king.

"Well. Thank you for being my father."

The king smiled proudly to have a son like him. "So do I, Claes."

"In the future, you don't have to push yourself. I don't want to lose you. It's enough for me that your mother had passed away."

While patting his shoulder, "You've made daddy proud, son." Claes is not only physically strong but also intelligent in terms of knowledge. Warm smiles graced both of their faces. Father and son who understand each other.

*****

On the royal grass field while leaning under a tree, "Hmmm... How about Claes' condition? I wanted to see him, but..." Ryan thought and recalled the past incident.

Knock... Knock... Knock...

"Yes?" greeted Eudora in Claes' room.

"Uhm... S-sorry. Excuse me, Princess Eudora. I came to visit the prince."

"He's still unconscious," Eudora said. "I can't believe he was willing to protect other people to get hurt like this."

Ryan was silent...

"Let me take care of it. You don't have to bother coming here." Eudora said in a flat tone.

"Okay, princess. I'm sorry."

******

"Hufft." Ryan took a deep breath as he recalled the incident. Then Ryan also remembered. "At that time, I faintly saw a shining aura and a phoenix."

Ryan tried to recall the past incident in the middle of the fight.

After Claes channeled his energy into Ryan, it wasn't a long time for Ryan to open his eyes slowly and saw a fierce battle. He saw brilliant energy emanating from prince Claes. However, due to his unstable body condition, Ryan went back unconscious.

"Was what I saw true or was it just my hallucination?" thought Ryan.

While he was worried about Claes, from the bottom of his heart, he felt sad and guilty for the death of another warrior.

"I don't want to be a burden to others." He muttered to himself as he looked up at the sky. "Then how is Lucien's condition? What happened after?" The sadness turned into a feeling of anxiety.

*****

After bathing and eating, Claes intends to go for a walk in the field to get some fresh air and stretch with the accompany of his two maids. Then he saw Ryan who was sitting under a tree. Instead of approaching him, Claes turned around. He pondered that if he continued to be close to him, his feelings for him would deepen. Since he knew the real himself, he started to keep his distance. In addition, he was reminded of the goddess who was with him in heaven. While thinking that, he headed towards the region of Taddeus by using a golden chariot.

Taddeus is surprised to see the prince come to visit him.

"It is an honor for me, the prince is pleased to visit me."

"No need to be so formal." Greet Claes with a smile. "Your living area is beautiful, and the gardens are well-maintained. A pleasant place to live," Claes said.

"Thanks for the compliment, Claes. How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, as you can see. I'm getting better. How about you?"

"I have recovered. Within a day I was conscious. However,"

"What's wrong, Tad?"

"Some did not survive, and they have been buried."

The prince was shocked and saddened.
