As I watched Sol curl in the corner of the room, I couldn't help but think he was getting worse. Maybe he's having war flashbacks? Just some seconds ago he was quite charming and amazing, but now he just got depressed? Well, having to kill thousands of humans as his first task is certainly… harsh for a human. I guess I never had any problem with doing atrocities because I am a fucking monster, but he was a hero of the people. Being asked to kill humans was rather harsh. Especially because he might have a past where he might had been forced to kill humans as well.

The Athetosea Kingdom had many disputes with other Kingdoms after all. There was no doubt about Heroes being used as War Weapons. Each Kingdom kept away from one another for this very reason after all. Heroes were everything back then. Man, recalling my past as a mortal monster really is fun, I wish that could had lasted longer than it actually did. I rushed through things a bit too much… Well, it all started when entered the Vampire-invaded Kingdom of the Centaurs by the request of the God of Centaurs. I guess even before becoming a Goddess I was already getting involved into the world of gods even if I didn't wanted to.

But going back to Sol… Yeah, he ain't going to get any better like this. He seems to be heavily mentally scarred. I thought that dying really had recovered him, he even said something about no grudges. I suppose grudges doesn't have anything to do with traumas.

Well, for the time being, I checked his Status to se what's up with mister hero of sun:

Huh… The fuck with those stats?! Bastard! This bastard got such a nice start! And he has an amazingly insane repertoire of Skills too?! Can I just hijack his body? He literally got the original Overpowering Sun too! What the heck is this? And he's depressed with all this power?

…

Well, let's calm down and analyze things through a cold-headed perspective. His powers are rather amazing, and his starting stats are better than mine by far. However, he's still quite weak, he needs to quickly level up his level and skills. Because he's not cursed by the Root like me, he can easily raise his skills levels better than I can.

He also got an amazing assortment of amazing Skills! From physical to magical, he got it all! Of course, he's mostly limited to Fire Attribute and he lacks healing Spells, but he's still pretty insanely strong. this guy could easily beat some of the Demon Lords if he leveled up a little bit.

However, something that surprised me is that he got 10 Divinity. Is he divine somehow? Maybe in his previous life he almost reached that stage, but never truly achieved it. Now, he got ten Divinity, and might develop more of it if he continues growing stronger, maybe.

But how can he even do it if he's just trembling in the floor right now?!

"Erm, Sol? Is something wrong?" Asked Elfina.

"I-I don't want to go to war… I hate it." Sighed Sol.

"Eh? But I need you to help me out…" Sighed Elfina.

"B-But it is… I… I've taken so many lives before… You think I can do the same thing again?" Sighed Sol. "After everything I've done… I don't want to shroud my heart with more darkness."

"But if you don't help us, many people might be in danger, my Kingdom… We are being invaded!" Said Elfina. "As my summon… I-I order you to help us out!" Elfina ordered Sol, although he remained in silence for a while.

"…"

"Leave him." Said Luminous. "He simply doesn't want to fight, so be it. We were alright even without him. Let's not build unnecessary drama."

"Yeah, leave him be then. He must have his reasons, we can't force him, even if he's your summon." Said Floresse.

"Ugh, but I was so excited about having a second ally that could help us… He's loaded with amazing strength, why can't he use it for our good?" Sighed Elfina.

"This strength I've always had… Sometimes, it resembled more like a curse." Said Sol while seemingly recalling his past a fair bit. I guess everyone has it different. Although I would had been delighted with his power, everyone has different lives and circumstances.

At the end, everyone walked away as I stood there for a bit, looking at him. He walked away from the corner of the room and moved to a room that was given to him. It seems Elfina doesn't have the intention of deleting him or something just because he won't help, so he shouldn't worry about disappearing in a whim.
