A torrential rainstorm is the special place where the Evil Entity resides, with the power to dominate the battlefield. At this point, perhaps only by summoning superior spirits can the Evil Entity be fully unleashed!

"I can't predict what our actions will lead to!"

"Isn't that the result you desire?!"

Another companion existing within me (Juxi) argued with me.

"A foreseeable outcome is tragic; life is only interesting when it's unknown."

"..."

Under the impact of my companion, I was speechless. I knew he was just a nonexistent figure, merely the one I could shout and criticize in my heart.

In my world, I am merely a contemplative thinker sitting on a rock.

I guess if I'm ever upset, I'll criticize this country along with it!

"I enjoyed my past life, able to forget many sad stories and ultimately... treat them as just stories."

"... Don't worry, when you return, the world won't change much. Time will continue as usual, just back to the original world."

"Perhaps?"

"Yes, isn't that rewarding enough?"

By the way... Huh? This is... "Hagrid, why didn't you tell us about such a nice place earlier!"

Yukari sis muttered with a wry smile, and swung the bamboo door she had taken off in front of me.

"What's the point of making this kind of room?"

"I also know, but..."

To appease the disgruntled Yukari sis, I quickly glanced at the rundown school building, but still couldn't find any highlights.

I really couldn't figure it out. No matter how hard I concentrated, the eerie wind from the school building always made me shiver, even... even...

Yukari sis and the others didn't care at all and swaggered inside, leaving me shivering alone...

"Hey, could you stop clinging to me all the time? Don't you realize how heavy you are?!"

"No, I'm really scared~ so scared!"

"Fratt, are you really going to act like a scaredy-cat?"

Fratt, towering over me by half a body, was unexpectedly less brave than half of me.

This action burdened me with a sense of immense responsibility, so I mustered up the courage that an adult should have, leading... well, actually, this guy just walked in calmly.

"Could you walk a bit slower? I... oh, my God!"

"If you don't want to run into ghosts, follow me closely, or you'll die... uh, I mean, get lost, understood?"

"Mate, this is not funny at all, you really scared me just now."

"You're so naïve, still believing in ghosts..."

"What's wrong, Hagrid?"

I suddenly realized my language seemed to have faltered, so I immediately corrected myself, wearing a helpless expression and shrugging at him.

"If you're going to have to grab my clothes even on the stairs, I'm afraid it'll be tough to go upstairs."

"Pal, you have no idea how eerie it is to hear the stairs creaking and squeaking..."

"You're truly making me speechless. This staircase is just thirteen steps to the second floor, can't you go faster!"

With that, the initiative shifted to my hands, and I found myself dragging him by the collar upstairs. I deeply understand the importance of overcoming one's own difficulties, so am I a ruthless big brother to Fratt?

"My goodness, you can't do this!"

"Why not? I think this is the most effective way to prevent you from being lazy. Hurry up, I don't want your weight to crush the stairs!"

"Shameless scoundrel, may the wrath of the departed haunt...haunt~haunt you!"

"Y-yes!"

I shook off his strong arm, then threw him into the dark corridor, leaving him with a parting shot.

"You can stay here and pray, hoping they won't take you away!"

"Really? Oh... I'm truly touched. I have to admit, you really are despicable. And by the way, were you praising my handsomeness?"

"..."

I have never encountered such shameless audacity before. I really doubted whether he was truly foolish or just deliberately trying to provoke me.

...

"Wow!"

Edward exclaimed excitedly.

"This is truly a great moment, unbelievable. The ancient power is still lingering in the world, it is these things that created the diverse world, just... how? "

After everything was reset, and a world full of colorful air.

Six different colored crystal stones floated in the air, representing the stones that control the earth.

The Stone of the Sky can paint the sky, adding a touch of white clouds to the azure, soaring to wherever the clouds can fly at any time.

The Flame Stone, wildfire!

The Stone of Grass and Trees, can turn wastelands into lush green fields instantly.

The Stone of the Ocean, can wash the world with tsunamis.

The Metal Stone, decomposes and reorganizes metal substances.

The Thunder Stone... where did it go? The position of the Spirit Stone is unexpectedly empty!

The Stone of Furious Winds has also been taken away without permission, leaving behind an empty stone box.

Edward knows best where the Dark Stone has gone, or rather, not having it is only natural.

Finally, there is the Jade Stone, which can nurture countless lives...?

"Did that old man really deceive us?"

The fire of anger in Edward's heart could find no outlet, so he smashed the metallic table with his fist, showing deep disappointment at the remaining less than half of the elemental spirit stones.

He never expected that the Giants would take away half of the elemental stones at the last moment and bestow them to any corner of the world, with the whereabouts of the most important Jade Stone also unknown. In this light, the priority now was to find the whereabouts of the Jade Stone.

"I must find out where it went..."

"You will never find it!"

"What?"

Clutching his fist tightly, Edward, who was steadfast, was persuaded otherwise by the arrival of Shinichi.

"The Jade Stone, commonly known as the Stone of Hope, would not be so eagerly anticipated if it were so easily found!"

Shinichi smiled somewhat resignedly, but there was still some resentment towards the Giants in between.

"But in fact, it was destroyed by someone long ago."

"Ah? Destroyed? Was that person... Odin?"

Edward could hardly believe every word this person before him was saying, but thinking of this individual's identity, he had to dust off his hands and listen attentively.

"Actually, Odin once passed on the Stone of Hope to one of his messengers, who then destroyed it, dispersing it into the Stones of Life and Death. Even if we find it, it would be useless."

"I... I just can't accept it!"

"Anyway, forget about Satan, you guys only need these four elemental stones, and I can handle the rest."

Edward, still in his emotions, didn't even have time to pay attention to Niwu, so he could only take out a cigarette to ease his sorrows.

...

"Wow, isn't this place way too messy?"

Squeak~ Squeak!

"You guys hear that? Mice are burrowing and nesting here. Do you think this place is habitable?"

Upon entering the room, Yukari immediately lamented about the terrible living conditions, while Chiyori also detested the environment in the room, although she would not say it to their faces. She quickly regained her composure and sat cross-legged, waiting for Yukari's next command.

Nin, on the other hand, was running around until Yukari sternly shouted at her.

"Nin, stop running around everywhere!"

"Yes..."

After being reprimanded, Nin cautiously met Yukari's gaze, noticing a hint of anger in her eyes, and thus composed herself.

"Cough, the first thing we need to do now is to tidy up this messy room, does anyone have any objections?"

"No~ne~!"

"Great, let's divide the work. We will start renovating this place now and turn it into a livable space for everyone!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Following behind Yukari were the busy figures of the group. The only ones left were me and Phrat quarreling in the corridor. At first, I didn't realize this, but I knew it was not right.

This is the greatness of the Creator—people always prefer mundane and boring lives. From Phrat's eyes, I could see that... he was no exception.

Finally, things settled down, but my heart couldn't calm down for a long time, especially with so many people waiting to be saved.

"Or perhaps, redeemed?"

"Old pal, I really don't know the difference between saving and redeeming. Your words are confusing."

"Eh... really?"

Unconsciously, I and Phrat went from being fearful and disgusted with each other to having a very harmonious relationship.

It took a lot of effort to make him forget about the panic here, and he sat obediently with me at the top of the stairs, laughing and chatting, overlooking the pitch-black first floor.

"Phrat, it's not as you think, they are different."

"What's the difference? In our Western Alliance, are they not..."

"No!"

I smiled and shook my head, explaining to him,

"In our ancient Eastern culture, these two phrases have different meanings..."

"Wow, that's truly incredible."

"Yes, it's quite cruel for me. Coming to a place so far from my homeland, even if I return, perhaps no one will be living there."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Phrat suddenly fell silent. Out of sympathy for me, he became very understanding.

"Oh, I really sympathize with your situation. I have to say, my brother Frand and I have already died once. If the Queen of the Night hadn't saved us, my brother and I... sigh!"

From his words, I understood the whole story. At first, the two brothers were slaves in a factory in the northern part of the empire. However, the imperial soldiers became increasingly arrogant, and the little savings the workers had managed to accumulate were completely wiped out as taxes.

The anarchist organizations at the time gradually united and eventually grew into a vast empire.
