--- Chapter 273 ---

"Y-You're the Kaiju Maker?" Thalia couldn't believe her ears for a moment.

"But that's impossible... You should have died 25 years ago from the Cosmic Storm's explosion."

Yu Long shook his head gently, "I'm also curious about that. It seems something isn't allowing me to die."

"But your appearance." Thalia still doubted Yu Long.

Yu Long chuckled before glancing at Huan Caiyi, "What am I saying will be quite a shocker for you, so bear it for a moment."

"The truth is... I got reincarnated into this world."

"It's not like I'm trying to hide from being a Kaiju Maker, but my new identity is more convenient. Not to mention, the memory of my past life is quite blurry, so there are many things I can't remember."

"Yu Long, you..." Huan Caiyi was shocked. She didn't expect Yu Long to have such a big secret.

No wonder.

Yes, no wonder Yu Long has always been abnormal. All he could do was not something one could explain with common sense.

Yu Long, being a reincarnated person, made sense.

It explained nearly everything 'mysterious' about Yu Long.

Still, Huan Caiyi was shocked that Yu Long was willing to reveal such a secret to her.

Even though they had only known each other for a few days, for him to do this, his action couldn't help but make her heart warm.

'So Yu Long trust me this much.' Huan Caiyi thought. 'He helped so many times that I don't know how to repay him.'

'P-Perhaps he has taken a liking to me?'

'If he did, I'm willing. I won't betray Yu Long's trust!'

Unknown to Yu Long, he has made the Little Demon Empress overthinking of him. It seems he was living rent-free in her head.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Nobody knows.

Huan Caiyi peeked at Chu Yuechen, noticing she didn't show that much of a reaction toward Yu Long's reveal.

'She knew about it already, huh?'

'No, it's not just her. There is also that woman called Chu Yueli.'

'Haa, I somehow felt jealous of them for knowing Yu Long earlier.' She felt bitter. If Huan Caiyi hadn't met the mysterious voice in the Demonic Star Secret Realm, she wouldn't have been able to tie herself to Yu Long's karma.

Although it was a shameless and forceful method, Huan Caiyi didn't have much choice, regardless.

Tempest has a blank look on her face. She had already expected Yu Long to have a great secret, so she prepared not to be surprised.

Not to mention, Tempest has watched Yu Long condense 'Essence Sphere' after killing the Heavenly King of Burning Venom.

That alone was enough to send a shiver down her spine and confirm that all the Demonic Cores they obtained originated from this mysterious yet dangerous young man.

Tempest didn't like to gamble with danger.

However, this time, the reward exceeds the danger. Tempest is willing to bet her life on it.

Meanwhile, Yu Long and Thalia have a staring contest with each other.

"Looks like you still haven't believed me." Yu Long couldn't help but chuckle in helplessness. This woman is the Old Man's daughter.

"No, I believed you're my father's old friend, but Kaiju Maker..." Thalia replied with a complicated expression. "Let's not mention reincarnation first, as your existence alone is limbo to me."

"So, in short, you need more proof?" Yu Long gave her a knowing look.

"Very well."

"I will demonstrate something that only a Kaiju Maker could do."

After saying that, Yu Long brought out a random profound beast's corpse in the Sky Poison Pearl and threw it to the ground. He didn't touch the corpse and hovered his hand above it.

Soon, white particles appeared from the corpse and gathered on Yu Long's hand, swirling and forming a sphere.

Thalia watched this, and her eyes lit up in excitement, "You're the Kaiju Maker."

"Kurogami Hayate."

"No, you're Yu Long now." She sighed in relief.

She hurriedly walked to Yu Long and bowed on the ground.

"Niece Thalia greets the Godfather."

"I've been looking for you all this time."

"At last, fate allowed us to meet today."

"Get up. I made a promise in the past, and today it was settled. Aren't you going to reveal your true name now?" Yu Long lifted Thalia.

Thalia smiled and hugged Yu Long, "My name is Kurogane Thalia. I'm the last descendant of the Kurogane Clan."

"My father, Kurogane Itsuki, is the sixth wielder of Hinokagutsuchi Power."

"He passed away in the mission as the God of Fire, Hephaestus."

"Today... I, the seventh wielder of Hinokagutsuchi Power, fulfilled the promise of two Dark-named Gods."

A burning red flame burst from Thalia's body and linked to Yu Long's Kaiju Maker. Deep inside, a strong shackle was 'directly' broken by Thalia's power, and Yu Long's golden eyes shone faintly.

A faint whisper echoed from the Kaiju Maker.

[Forbidden Skill - Kaiju Eruption (Unlocked)]

[Forbidden Skill - Kaiju Sacrifice (Unlocked)]

[Acquired Skill - Fire of Life (Unknown)]

Yu Long watched Thalia's face become pale and gently sent a pure vitality to recover her complexion.

"Thank you, Godfather," Thalia replied with a heavy breath.

She just erupted the power left behind by her father. At the same time, she also helped Yu Long unlock his Kaiju Maker's skills and gave him a new one.

Hinokagutsuchi is the inherited power of the Kurogane Clan. It stock-piled throughout generations and eventually awakened when a 'great' change happened to the earth.

It has three main functions.

To control fire and metal.

To slay demons and devils.

The last is to seal one's potential, which sounds horrible but is actually the best function.

Yu Long's potential is horrifying in his past life. He even had 'a hard' time controlling his power as it grew too fast.

Yu Long met Hespaheustus or Kurgane Itsuki in the wilderness and agreed to seal his potential and control his power better.

At the time, Itsuki has yet to join Olympus and become undercover for humanity. He's just a middle-aged man who likes to slaughter mutated beasts and gather rare resources to forge powerful artifacts.

Yu Long promised to help Itsuki when he needed it. And he did. He helped Itsuki escape Olympus with his wife and daughter.

Itsuki also promised to unseal Yu Long's potential after a few years.

Unfortunately, the Cosmic Storm happened before they could meet and fulfill the promise. Twenty-five years later, Itsuki's daughter met the reincarnated Kaiju Maker and unsealed his potential.

Their meeting was seemingly fated to happen.

"How did you feel?" Yu Long asked while patting Thalia's head.

Thalia eagerly being patted by Yu Long, "Much better. As Father said, you're truly almighty."

Yu Long smiled, flicking her forehead, "Don't get your hope too high. Even though my potential has returned, it doesn't mean my power suddenly skyrocketed."

"As the saying goes, limitless potential doesn't mean limitless power."

"Isn't that basically the same thing?" Thalia retorted, feeling at ease with Yu Long. After all, she regarded Yu Long as her only family member now.

"No. What a silly girl." Yu Long stopped injecting his vitality, allowing Thalia's body to recover naturally.

Thalia pouted, "Hmph, so cold."

Seeing this reaction, Yu Long could only shake his head.

Technically speaking, Thalia is older than him.

But it is also normal for her to act childish like this.

When she unsealed his potential, Yu Long saw bits of her memory over the past years, and most of them were her suffering. Now that Yu Long has taken her as a goddaughter, he will help her to live a better life.

After a while, Thalia recovered and chatted with the ladies in the room.

She also apologized to Huan Caiyi for scamming her. Apparently, she made the Little Demon Empress wait too long and overpay.

...

...

Yu Long, Thalia, and others sat around a table. They drank special tea Thalia had and talked about recent things.

"Thalia, what's with the Church of Khaos?" Yu Long finally asked. "They appeared out of nowhere and started inciting chaos left and right."

"Before meeting you, I've met Ares and Poseidon."

"You met them?!" Thalia's eyes widened in horror.

"Are you okay, Godfather?"

Yu Long waved his hand, "I killed Ares, and Yuechan killed Poseidon."

"Even though I have yet to recover Kaiju Power's full ability, my cultivation base has exceeded my past prime."

"They had no chance against me."

Thalia sighed in relief, "Good."

"Church of Khaos..."

"If you wanted to know, we should start the story from 25 years ago..."

"Yes, right after Cosmic Storm's accident."
