-1055- The birth of the divine child

"Nichiyo..."

Seeing Rozen's entire body adorned with runes and symbols, especially the enchantments on his hands and the eighteen mysterious characters connected and surrounded by other runes, emitting a dazzling light, Avrora couldn't help but approach Rozen.

However, before Avrora could get close to Rozen, someone stopped her.

"Don't get near him."

Altera materialized in front of Rozen, canceling her spiritual form and pointing her tricolor light sword at Avrora, her ruby-like eyes fixed coldly on her, speaking in an unusually indifferent tone.

"If you disturb him, the seal might malfunction. Keep your distance."

Altera's intervention made Avrora freeze in place, staring at the Sword of the War God pointed at her throat, unable to hide her unease.

"You..."

Avrora wanted to ask who the person was.

Having known Rozen for over half a year, Avrora had never seen Altera before and had no idea who this girl, capable of single-handedly eliminating many of her own kind, was, what her background with Rozen was, why she possessed such terrifying power, and why she radiated an aura that made living beings instinctively fear and wail. Yet, such a terrifying existence is helping Rozen?

So, although she felt intimidated and frightened by Attila's presence, Avrora suppressed the urge to flee and looked at Rozen with worry.

Surprisingly, Altera took the initiative to speak to Avrora.

"He's fine."

Altera spoke in a cold tone, succinctly.

"Instead of worrying about him, you should be concerned about the other two."

At Altera's words, Avrora was momentarily stunned, then, as if remembering something crucial, hastily turned her head to look in another direction.

"Ah..."

"Uh..."

There, a pair of siblings lay on the ground, emitting pained groans.

"Nagisa! Kojou!"

Avrora hurried over.

However, halfway there, Avrora was startled to a stop.

Because, it was evident that something unusual was happening to the siblings.

Nagisa's hair had reverted to black, and her body was emitting waves of spiritual power.

That was because the original had finally detached from Nagisa's body, and her body had returned to its original state, gradually restoring her precious spiritual abilities, allowing her mixed abilities as a spirit medium to manifest again.

This was a good thing.

On the other hand, regarding Kojou, what was happening to him might not be a good thing.

A force was pulsating within Kojou.

Moreover, it was much stronger than Nagisa's.

Avrora was somewhat familiar with this force.

It was divine energy.

Could it be... the divine spirit possessing Kojou hadn't departed...?

Avrora's complexion turned pale.

- "Togami(God of fault)."

This was the name the original gave to the divine entity inhabiting Kojou.

If it really was the god of fault, then it was truly terrifying.

Based on the blood memories within her, Avrora understood one thing.

That means the god possessing Kojou is an extremely terrifying existence. Moreover, it has an unusually deep connection with the Fourth Primogenitor.

Although this god died a long time ago, Rozen seems to have summoned its spirit back, using its power to seal the original and simultaneously bringing it back into existence.

As a result, just as Nagisa had just freed herself from the possession of the Fourth Primogenitor, Kojou got possessed by an equally terrifying entity.

If the god of fault intends to, like the original, use someone else's body for resurrection, things will become troublesome.

"I must... I must do something!"

Avrora panics and becomes anxious in this situation.

In such a scenario...

"No need to panic."

A cold voice comes from behind Avrora.

Naturally, it's Altera.

"Rest assured." Altera glances at Kojou and says indifferently, "That god has no intention of resurrecting or awakening. Things won't happen as you imagine."

As if confirming Altera's words, the divine aura around Kojou gradually recedes, withdrawing back into his body, disappearing.

At the same time, the presence of the God of fault also completely disappears, restoring Kojou to his original state.

"This..."

Avrora is bewildered.

"It seems that the god intends to sleep within this human's body without intending to wake up."

Altera can see the situation at a glance, her words as cold as ever but with an inexplicable persuasiveness, as if she understands the god better than anyone or that her very existence is an enemy to the gods. Consequently, she discerns the god's state effortlessly.

Avrora is somewhat relieved now but still has concerns.

"Is it really okay like this?"

Avrora raises this question.

However, who can answer this question?

Altera turns her head and looks in Rozen's direction.

Rozen, sitting on the ground, seems to be reaching the final stages of the sealing process. The runes and symbols on his body gradually fade away, including the commandments on his hands, becoming part of the seal that merges into Rozen's body.

Believing that once the sealing is complete, the commandments on Rozen's hands shouldn't manifest externally like before, and Rozen won't need to wear gloves to conceal them anymore, right?

Perhaps this isn't the first time, and it might not be the last time, but when Rozen wakes up, he will undergo a transformation again. That much is certain.

Altera silently watches him.

"Let me witness the path you will take until the end."

Murmuring so, Altera lowers her eyes.

"When will this dream finally wake up..."

Leaving behind this emotionally-laden statement, Altera once again dissolves into spiritual form and disappears.

Leaving only Avrora, who looks at her friends still unconscious on the ground, appearing somewhat helpless.

...

"..."

On the rooftop of a dilapidated building, Shizuka Koyomi stands on the balcony, gazing at the distant scene, her expression changing constantly.

"I never thought it would end up like this..."

Shizuka Koyomi sighs with extreme complexity.

"The divine child actually summoned the spirit of that god of fault, and sealed the Fourth Primogenitor within his own body..."

This has far surpassed Shizuka Koyomi's plans, even exceeding the expectations of Lion King Agency, Warlord Dominion, Dynasty of Destruction, and even the Chaos Zone.

"The god of fault and the original..."

Another girl is standing here, also gazing at Rozen sitting on the ground and Kojou unconscious.

It's Minamiya Natsuki.

"If I knew you would cause such a situation, I wouldn't have let you go, idiot."

Natsuki sighs with a headache.

Regardless, Natsuki didn't expect it to turn out like this, right?

"The divine child who had sealed the original withen himself and a child of men who had sealed the god of fault withen himself, those two will surely attract the attention of various entities in different countries, right?"

Shizuka Koyomi also has a headache.

After all, these two girl are still national attack mages. Just thinking about how much trouble these two will cause for the country in the future makes their heads ache. But now that it's a done deal, even they are powerless in the face of this situation.

"Anyway, I'll take them back for now. Dealing with the aftermath is your responsibility." Natsuki looks at Shizuka Koyomi and says, "Given the circumstances, you won't oppose it anymore, right?"

"...This is fine." Shizuka Koyomi remains silent for a moment, then nods, saying, "The two divine child are temporarily entrusted to you. As for how to handle them in the future, we'll decide after the events are over."

Leaving behind these words, Shizuka Koyomi turns and leaves.

Natsuki doesn't watch her go, just stares ahead, looking at the unconscious Kojou and Rozen, sighing once again.

On this day, two divine child are born, entering the eyes of the world.

- "The Divine Child of Origin."

- "The Divine Child of Cain."

The two who are both gods and demons are born on this day.
