"He was the one meant to receive the true answer."
Once again, the exact details have long since been lost, but somehow, after receiving that answer… he gained immense power."
A chill ran through the air.
"And when he returned…"
"He sought vengeance."
"No matter how much his former companions begged for forgiveness, citing deep regret after killing, he slaughtered every single one of them without mercy."
Elion quietly listened.
"Afterward, using the power he had obtained, he conquered the countless small communities scattered across the land and united them into what eventually became the Veloria Kingdom."
Isla smiled faintly.
"And finally… shortly after ascending the throne as the very first king, he ascended once more."
Elion frowned slightly.
"Ascended?"
"To godhood," Isla answered softly.
"And on the very day he ascended…"
She slowly pointed toward the night sky.
"Something impossible happened."
