Unveiling the Past: A New Timeline

"Oh, I never remember things that don't concern me very clearly."

"..."

"Ju... ju..."

Polyphonia's face was incredibly pale, cold sweat unconsciously ran down her forehead and back, her delicate red lips were cracked, and her body trembled slightly.

She looked as if she had seen something terrifying, with an expression of fear on her face.

"Mr. Kaido, what's wrong with my mother?"

Seeing Polyphonia's unusual state, everyone except Mr. Kaido became anxious.

"I just showed her something she wanted to see; she'll be fine."

Mr. Kaido didn't use any authority or magic, but even so, the magic, which was far more immense than that of a True Ancestor, was enough to make the "knowledgeable" Queen tremble.

Soon, Polyphonia awoke from the medium vision.

At that moment, she truly believed what kind of existence the seemingly unremarkable man in front of her was.

There are many strange things and secret arts in this world.

For example, many ancient magics could confuse a person's consciousness and eyes, using illusions to make false appear true.

But the Lihavain family's medium ability could easily discern what was illusion and what was reality.

If Mr. Kaido were merely a charlatan specializing in illusory secret arts, Polyphonia could have distinguished him in an instant.

However, her human instinct told her that everything was real.

According to the information the Royal Family possesses, there were once gods in this world.

However, compared to the divine figures she saw through the medium vision, there was a difference like that between a morning star and the moon in the water.

And this one was an existence capable of slaying gods like a mortal.

Polyphonia didn't wipe the sweat from her forehead; she immediately turned to Mr. Kaido and said, "I am so sorry, please forgive my previous disrespect towards you."

"Polyphonia, what... what's happening?"

Her husband, Lucas, didn't understand what had happened.

"Sigh..."

The Queen of Aldikia sighed inwardly.

She didn't know why this "god," or rather, "Godslayer," had come, nor did she know what consequences his arrival would bring to Aldikia.

Even, this world...

Polyphonia had reason to believe that the True Ancestors were absolutely insignificant before him.

"Forgive my presumption, but could you tell us why you came to our country?"

"Simply traveling here, recording some interesting things about this world."

The demon girl's book would record Mr. Kaido's experiences as text and images, so he wasn't wrong.

Although Feizerinu said she was merely a theater-loving witch who liked to watch plays, she repeatedly reminded him not to forget her name.

Perhaps... when everyone forgets the existence of that Movie Witch, certain things might happen.

"If it were possible, we would provide you with the best tour guide."

"No need, you don't have to worry about me. I'll just stay in Aldikia for a while and then go to other places."

Mr. Kaido shook his head.

His contract with La Folia was merely a whim, and judging by the current timeline, the main plot of the original story hadn't even begun, so for both emotional and logical reasons, he wouldn't stay here for long.

After all, Itogami Island in the far east was the core of the entire story.

"Alright, if you have any needs, you can tell me anytime."

Polyphonia nodded.

After realizing that the other party had a status superior to a True Ancestor, her attitude had already changed.

From the previous conversation and his attitude towards La Folia, the other party was someone approachable.

He held no grudge; on the contrary, he showed favoritism to her daughter. If the Royal Family could forge a friendship with him, it would have an extraordinary effect on both the continuation of the royal bloodline and the maintenance of the nation's current stability.

Polyphonia thought extremely quickly and soon came up with countless ideas to win over Mr. Kaido.

From La Folia's behavior, it was evident that her daughter didn't dislike this man. Perhaps...

*Hmm, she needed to have a good talk with her tonight.*

The capital was exceptionally quiet at night.

The usually bustling streets appeared somewhat deserted; of course, "deserted" here referred to the contrast with the festive atmosphere of the past.

After the vampire attack on the Royal Family in broad daylight, everyone knew who was responsible.

However, without evidence, even the Royal Family couldn't cause trouble for that group of vampires.

But according to online leaks, the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Aldikia sent more troops and new equipment to the border adjacent to the War King's Domain.

And in contrast to these actions, deep within the Royal Palace, in a luxurious, women-only bathroom, the current Queen was watching La Folia play in the water in front of her.

Her expression was somewhat hesitant, and she asked with slight doubt: "Can you tell me how you met that adult?"

The Royal Family's guards were extremely strict; not even True Ancestors could quietly sneak into the current Princess's bedroom.

Although she had already learned about Mr. Kaido's origin through her medium ability, La Folia was her daughter after all, and she and Lucas were doing everything they could to protect her.

And La Folia, as they expected, grew up healthy and happy into an excellent princess.

In due time, after Lucas abdicates, she will be fully capable of serving as Queen of the Kingdom.

But La Folia was still too young.

Even though she had shown proper royal dignity and talent in multiple exchanges with foreign leaders, she was now facing not ordinary people, but a "human" even more powerful than a True Ancestor.

Unrestricted by laws or nations, a solitary individual possessing extremely powerful force, his sudden appearance forced them to be extremely cautious.

"When I woke up in bed at noon, I saw him, Mother. I know what you're worried about, but rest assured, if that adult had wanted to harm me, he would have been able to do anything to me during that time."

La Folia's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and her expression was filled with confidence and fighting spirit.

She wasn't a sweet, naive girl who would fall head over heels the moment a man's imposing aura appeared.

"Mother, I can clearly feel his goodwill towards me. As long as my safety is guaranteed, I will do my best to earn more of his trust."

"Today's incident makes it clear that the mastermind must be those vampires from the War King's Domain. Although our Kingdom of Aldikia's national strength is enough to handle most problems, we are still somewhat powerless against a True Ancestor."

"If we gain his help, the Kingdom of Aldikia will no longer have to worry about the First True Ancestor's pressure."

Beads of sweat slowly slid down La Folia's beautiful face. Her words exuded absolute confidence, which greatly pleased Polyphonia.

The Queen's expression softened slightly, and her worry significantly lessened.

"Since you've said so, I will also fully support you."

After speaking, there was a moment of silent contemplation, then Polyphonia mused: "Putting other reasons aside, what do you think of that man?"

"Although his speech and demeanor are approachable, he should be someone who has held a high position for a long time..."

"No, no, I meant something else..."

La Folia was stunned for a moment, looking at her mother's gossipy expression, the girl's face couldn't help but blush, and she replied indistinctly, "He's... he's alright..."

---

Kingdom of Aldikia, Royal Capital.

The morning sun reigned over the land, bringing life back to the city, which had been silent all night. Since ancient times, the sun has been the supreme object in the human heart, dispelling cold, bringing warmth, and leaving darkness without refuge.

However, the sun, so praised in many civilizations, was not very welcome to Athena.

Although the sun is one of the origins that nurtures all things, the goddess who governs the night would never like the feeling of sunbathing.

This was a hall used by the royal family to receive their honored guests. The interior decoration was of the highest quality, with luxurious furnishings and a decorating style from master artisans. Soft velvet carpets covered the floor, and there were some high-tech electronic devices that even Mr. Kaido didn't know how to operate.

The overall technological level of Blood Strike was undoubtedly far more advanced than that of the Godslayer World.

If it weren't for the power of a Godslayer by his side, he would now be like a country bumpkin who had just entered the city.

A charming maid had delivered breakfast a short while ago, and after Mr. Kaido teased her a few times, she ran out with a blushing face.

He turned on the enormous LCD television, which was broadcasting local news.

Mr. Kaido leaned back on the sofa like this, using a knife and fork to cut the steak, which was said to come from the rear thigh meat of a valuable magical beast, and then brought it to his mouth. Beside him was a glass of sparkling white wine called "Silent Ship," but after taking a sip, he felt it wasn't to his liking.

He then called Athena to get a bottle of happy water from the refrigerator.

Compared to the bitter and mellow taste, he preferred happy water, simple and direct.

The Chaos Empress established by the True Ancestor, a special administrative region mainly by demons and the gods who disappeared thousands of years ago...

The goddess looked up at the sky. The information she received through special means made Athena understand that she was no longer in her original world.

Her curiosity about the other world made her quite satisfied with Mr. Kaido, but she had some dissatisfaction with the seemingly existing gods in this world.

The God-cursed bloodline could hold a place in this world, while the elder gods only existed as legends in textbooks.

*How pathetic!*

Just as Athena was despising herself, two hands reached out from the side, pinching the goddess's small face and gently pulling it left and right.

"Don't always have such a stern face. Give me a smile."

"..."

Athena remained expressionless, some black lines appeared on her forehead, and her eyes grew even colder.

"Tsk..."

After a while, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

Through the contract connection, he knew who was outside the door.

La Folia wore a pure white dress and white silk stockings, her high heels matching her hair color, making her look saintly and radiant.

She had been very close to Mr. Kaido during this time.

Mr. Kaido knew what La Folia was thinking, but he didn't care.

Having a purpose was a good thing; it would be a problem if she approached him without any purpose.

"Mr. Kaido, the information you asked me to investigate has been found. Suspicious elements belonging to the Black Death Emperor Faction are said to have shown signs of appearing in the Republic of Malta."

A few days ago, Mr. Kaido found her and asked her to inquire about the "Black Death Emperor Faction," which advocated for the "Supremacy of Beastmen."

Although she didn't know why, with the capabilities of the Aldikia Kingdom, investigating such matters was very easy.

La Folia behaved very appropriately, possessing both the nobility of a princess and the playful spirit of a young girl.

After all, the Silver Princess wasn't yet as cunning as she would be four years later. Although she was more precocious than ordinary people, how much malice could a thirteen-year-old girl have?

After being discovered, La Folia no longer presented herself with a formal smile. Except when in front of her family, only when with Mr. Kaido could this Silver Princess drop her serious princess facade and regain the appearance fitting her age.

Besides deepening his relationship with this little princess, Mr. Kaido's remaining task was to ascertain where the current plot had progressed.

In the original work, La Folia first appeared when she was seventeen.

Now she is thirteen, meaning the timeline he descended to is four years before the official plot begins.

Itogami Island four years ago.

The central Fourth True Ancestor.

If these two terms are put together, it's easy to associate them with the beginning of all future incidents: the **Banquet of the Flame Light**.

For this world, the **Banquet of the Flame Light** was the guiding principle for everything. Whether it was the three True Ancestors who never appeared, or the Lion King Agency, they all had various relationships with the **Fourth True Ancestor**.
