After hearing Gerald’s explanation, Peter then said, “So that’s how you grew so rapidly in just three days!”
“So that’s the whole story… In the end, I guess that some things will always end up being unearthed no matter how hard we try to hide them… Everything is simply going according to fate… You know, despite being the most powerful person to have ruled over Jaellatra, even Liemis told me that nobody was able to escape such a fate… True to his words, Liemis wasn’t able to deny his fate either! Regardless, the Herculean Primordial Spirit is a power so strong that it’s capable of ruining the ultimate limit!” explained Zyla.
“…Ruining… the ultimate limit…?” muttered both Leo and Peter at the same time.
“Indeed. You see, the ultimate limit is without a start nor an end… It has the ability to remain indefinitely strong, and nobody should ever be able to even get in touch with it! Despite that, legend has it that the Herculean Primordial Spirit is able to ruin it!”
Upon hearing Zyla’s explanation, everyone found themselves feeling simultaneously amazed and stupefied, including Gerald.
“…So… Since the King of Judgement Portal keeps wanting to capture me… Does that mean that he’s been after the Herculean Primordial Spirit within me this entire time…?” summarized Gerald, finally seeing the bigger picture.
“You’re correct, though the King of Judgement Portal is only one of the many people who wish to obtain that mystical power!” explained Zyla.
“…If that’s the case, how come I never bumped into any bizarre people or incidents when I was younger?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com thought about his childhood.
“That’s because those people were afraid of accidentally activating your power too early. They feared that you’d begin slaughtering people like crazy once you got a taste of power, and that would surely be a disaster!” replied Zyla.
“…Then… does that confirm that I truly was Liemis in my previous life…?” asked Gerald.
“There certainly exists a possibility of that. Whatever the case is, your appearance marked the inevitable demise of Liemis. For now, just understand that both you and Liemis are two independent individuals. While the two of you are similar in the way that you both owned the Formidable Primordial Spirit, you’re clearly different from favonovel.com since you own the Herculean Primordial Spirit as well! In a way, you hold more prestige than favonovel.com does!” replied Zyla.
At that moment, Peter—who had been listening closely to the conversation and pondering about it this entire time—found himself asking, “…If that’s the case, Miss Lockland, doesn’t that suggest that it was the Herculean Primordial Spirit that brought Gerald into existence…?”
“Quite the contrary, in fact. Gerald’s the one who attained the Herculean Primordial Spirit!”
His eyes now widened in shock, Peter then said, “Then… Does that mean that Gerald currently bears an immensely strong power?”
“A power that strikes fear into the hearts of many people, yes!” replied Zyla.
“…But… Why did the Herculean Primordial Spirit appear…? Also, while it’s true that I’ve awakened to the first stage of my potential, it isn’t really as strong as you’ve pictured it to be… All that’s changed is that I now rarely ever bump into anyone who’s capable of fighting against me!” said Gerald—who was completely flabbergasted by this point—as favonovel.com gave a wry smile.
“Well… There are quite a few theories as to how the Herculean Primordial Spirit came to be… While some claimed that it appeared due to the transformation of an immensely powerful person—who owned the Immortal Body—, Liemis rejected that theory. After all, despite thorough investigation, no records about such an incident happening were ever found! However, we did find a very important clue,” replied Zyla as favonovel.com shook favonovel.com head.
“See, the clue hinted that we needed to find something called the Mackusion… From what we managed to deduce, activating it would allow us to make more sense about a lot of things! With that in mind, we rushed to earth the first thing we could. We thought that we could use the time—while waiting for you to appear—to look for the Mackusion and hopefully gain some answers that we were seeking. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. We weren’t able to accomplish a lot at all!”
“Also, you stated that despite awakening to the first stage of your talent, all you were able to feel was a massive increase in your training, correct? That you didn’t feel like your power was as terrifying as I made it sound? Well, I’m not sure who you met up with before you and I first got acquainted, but during our first meeting, I found that your Dehlere Foundation had already been ruined! Due to someone ruining it, you haven’t been able to awaken your Dehlere Foundation!” added Zyla.
“What? Ruined? But how is that even possible? I never even got in touch with any mysterious or powerful people at the time. Who could have ruined my Dehlere Foundation?” replied Gerald, shocked.
