Chapter 346 18
After one month, Azalia returned to the hideout of the divine race to open a portal with the world altar to transfer the people of her race to another world. Of course, Ziel also accompanied her. After returning from the academy, he quickly went to that place with Lilith and Kalya.
"Miss, won't you come with us to another world?" Aghares asked. After hearing that Azalia would not go with them to the other world, he was disappointed.
Azalia felt guilty when she saw the sorrow on the faces of Aghares and the others. She had come to that place only to see the divine race depart for another world and confirm that the world's altar was functioning properly. But then, they were unwilling to part with her and wanted Azalia to lead them to a new world. After all, Azalia was a Princess of their race, and only she was fit to be their leader.
"I'm sorry, but I can't come with you. I have decided to live in this world with the man I love and my new family." Azalia said determinedly and made the people of her race speechless after hearing it.
Aghares and the others looked at Ziel, Kalya, and Lilith. They know Ziel because he often comes to their hideout and knows his relationship with Azalia. They could only sigh and no longer convince Azalia to come with them. Aghares realized that they would not be able to change Azalia's decision after seeing the serious expression on her face.
"Alright, we will activate the world altar now. I don't want to delay it any longer for fear that some factor might suddenly appear and thwart our plans." Azalia said seriously to Aghares and the people of her race.
Aghares and the others looked at each other and nodded. They understood the factors that Azalia was referring to were the primeval gods. Azalia had told them that the primeval gods would come to the Clorius continent but didn't know precisely when that would happen.
Thus, they couldn't risk delaying even one minute in transferring them to another world. Aghares and the others feared that the primeval gods would appear at a critical moment.
"Please, Ken." Azalia looked at Ziel and spoke. She wanted Ziel to activate the world altar to prevent the artifact from malfunctioning. Azalia didn't want the slightest mistake to occur, as it could have fatal consequences for transferring the divine race to another world. Thus, she entrusted the matter to Ziel.
"I understand." Ziel nodded.
"You should step back a few meters from me." Ziel warned Aghares and the others. They followed his words and walked away from the world altar.
Ziel reached out his hand to the fragment of the world altar that had been combined into its original form. The world altar was initially several tens of centimeters enlarged to dozens of meters, and a pillar of light shot up into the sky. After that, a vortex was created in the center of the pillar of light and formed a portal.
"I have locked the destination coordinates of this portal to a remote weak planet. I deliberately transported you to that world to prevent you from encountering powerful beings. But I want to tell you something before you go through the portal. Please don't bully the natives of that world." Ziel glared at Aghares and the people from the divine race behind him.
He sent the divine race to a world where the inhabitants were weak, not to colonize them but to prevent them from meeting strong people and harming them.
After all, they were of the same race as Azalia, and she cared a lot about them. So Ziel couldn't turn a blind eye to their safety. But that doesn't mean they can do whatever they want in the new world as they did on the Clorius continent.
Ziel could do that with the help of the world altar, but he couldn't confirm the planet's name and exact location. If he regained his memory core, he could know all the names of worlds in any dimension and go anywhere he pleased.
"Please obey his words because it is also an order from me. I don't want you to bully the natives of that world. Do you understand?" Azalia said coldly to Aghares and the people of her race. She had learned what crimes people of the divine race had committed in the Clorius continent. It had been hidden from her for a very long time.
When Azalia found out about this, she was angry and sad. She created the God's Domain organization to search for the world's altar fragment. But she didn't expect that some of them experimented on the natives of the Clorius continent to turn them into the new strongest race.
Azalia asked Aghares about the matter, and he was shocked after getting the answer from her. All the evil deeds of the divine race over these years were orders from Azael. Azalia fell silent and couldn't do anything after knowing that fact.
Even though she was angry, Azalia couldn't take it out on Aghares, especially her dead brother. So she could only cry in Ziel's arms all night until her feelings calmed down.
"We understand, Miss Azalia." Aghares and the people from the divine race answered in unison without daring to look directly at Azalia.
"Alright, you can enter the portal right now. I have arranged for you to appear in the forest to avoid making a fuss in that world." Ziel added to his explanation and made the size of the portal bigger to make it easier for them to enter simultaneously.
"Thank you." Aghares said on behalf of the people of his race. He looked at Ziel complicatedly. At first, they were enemies, but now he is the one helping them because of his relationship with Azalia.
Then Azalia exchanged words with the people of her race and listened to their parting words, especially Aghares, the person she had known since childhood and had accompanied her for hundreds of years.
"Please take good care of yourself, Miss Azalia." Aghares said to Azalia and then turned his eyes to Ziel.
"I will leave Miss Azalia in your hands, and please make her the happiest woman in the world." Aghares said in a low voice. Then he entered the portal and was followed by people from the divine race behind him.
"Please take care of yourselves in the new world and live happily. I will definitely visit you in the future." Azalia waved her hand. Even though she tried to be strong, she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart. After every one of her races disappeared and the portal closed, Azalia's tears spilled.
Kalya and Lilith felt a pain in their chest when they heard Azalia's cry. Both hug Azalia to calm her down. Lilith was also from the divine race but didn't have many ties with them. So she wasn't as sad as Azalia.
"You have to let them go. Don't you still have us here? Aren't we family? Once we settle things with the primeval gods, I'm sure Ziel will lead us to that world, and you can meet them again." Kalya said in Azalia's ear while patting her back gently.
"Yes. You still have us, your family. I'm also sad because I'm also from the divine race. But it's for their good, so you have to let them go. You should be happy about that since they are finally free from the threat of the primeval god, shouldn't you?" Lilith whispered and hugged Azalia tighter.
"I know it. But I can't help but be sad when the person who has accompanied me all this time leaves me." Azalia said in a hoarse voice, and her crying became even louder.
Ziel could only stand still when he saw that scene. He wanted to help calm Azalia, but now Lilith and Kalya were beside her. Ziel believes that the two of them can make Azalia feel better. As Ziel waited for Azalia to calm down, his face suddenly changed, and he shifted her gaze in a specific direction.
"I don't mean to disturb you. But I think we don't have time to be sad because the guest we've been waiting for has finally arrived." Ziel said seriously.
Azalia, Kalya, and Lilith let go of their embrace and became alert after hearing Ziel's words. They knew what he meant by the guest in his sentence. The three girls followed Ziel's gaze and trembled when they felt something heading toward their location at a terrifying speed.
"The person heading to this place must be one of the primeval gods and the one who had planted the mark on Azael." Ziel narrowed his eyes and said calmly. He recently found out that the mark he felt after breaking the seal that locked his emotions was Azael's, which was given by the primeval god and transferred to Ziel through his curse.
"Are you saying that the one who came was the primeval god who had ravaged the divine realm and killed the people of my race?" Azalia said in a low voice, and a terrifying killing intent burst from her body.
"Calm down, Aze. We don't know who's coming until that person shows up. It won't be long before he gets to this place. I think he came to this location because he sensed the power fluctuation from the world altar when we opened the portal to another world." Ziel approached Azalia and stroked her head gently to calm her down.
Ziel didn't want Azalia to act recklessly because she was consumed with anger after learning that the primeval god who came to the Clorius continent was the one who massacred her race in the divine realm.
"He's right, Azalia. It would be best not to act impulsively when facing a strong opponent. Please calm yourself down." Kalya tapped Azalia's shoulder.
Azalia tried to suppress her anger because of the grudge buried in her heart for hundreds of years. She took a deep breath, and his mind calmed down a bit.
"I understand. Thank you." Azalia smiled and looked at Ziel and Kalya. Ziel nodded but suddenly frowned after feeling the strong presence of the person they were waiting for.
"He's coming." Ziel said.
Azalia and the others also looked in the same direction after sensing that person's presence. Kalya and the two girls saw a dot in the sky that was slowly getting bigger and was approaching them at great speed. Not long after, they finally got a clear look at the figure, and Azalia looked at him with bloodshot eyes. She clenched her fists tightly and released her bloodlust.
Even though hundreds of years had passed, Azalia still vividly remembered the person who slaughtered her race in the divine. The man in front of her was the primeval god she had last seen before she crossed over to the Clorius continent.
When Azalia wanted to act, Ziel grabbed her wrist to stop her. He didn't mean to prevent Azalia from fighting that primeval god. Ziel also wanted to quickly kill anyone who could become a threat to the Clorius continent. But before that, he had to know his purpose for coming to this world.
"Hmm… I sure feel a tremendous power fluctuation at this location." The primordial god scanned the area around him. Since arriving at that place, he had ignored Ziel and the others as he thought of them as mere ants that he could kill at any moment.
"Ooh... What is that thing? Isn't that the world altar that has disappeared for a long time?" The primeval god's eyes fell on the world altar not far from Ziel.
That person disappeared from the sky and reappeared next to the world altar. Initially, he didn't care about the presence of Ziel and the others. But when he saw the beauty of Azalia and Kalya, he became interested in them.
"I did not expect to meet beauties like you in this world." The primeval god moved at high speed and instantly appeared in front of Azalia. He stretched out his hand and intended to caress her cheek. Even though he has met various beauties in the universe, Azalia and Kalya are one of the best.
"So fast!" Azalia was shocked by his actions. She wanted to dodge, but her reaction was too late. Fortunately, a fist appeared and hit him in the face before the primeval god could touch her. The person was blown away and crashed into a hill.
Boooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
"What are you doing by touching someone else's fiancé?" Ziel said coldly. Originally he intended to find his purpose for coming to the Clorius continent. But after seeing his actions towards Azalia, he quickly forgot about that.
Booooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
The hill shattered into pieces, and the primeval god came out unharmed.
"I didn't expect that there was someone as powerful as you in this world." The primeval god looked at Ziel seriously.
Ziel narrowed his eyes when he saw that the primeval god was unharmed from the blow. Even though he didn't use much strength in that punch, it should be enough to injure a true god.
"Since you've managed to land your punch on me, then I'll introduce myself before I crush you to nothing. I am Draco, one of the seven primeval gods in the universe." Draco said, and the atmosphere around him changed. Tremendous strength overflowed from his body and made the Clorius continent shake violently.
