Novolzak.

A name that echoed far and wide across the expanse of space.

It contained might that sent shivers down the spine of those who dared to listen to the echoing name.

Despite the terror, the God was benevolent and merciful.

The realm ruled by Novolzak was peaceful, there being no person dying of hunger or suffering in writhing agony.

The ones living inside this realm posed no threat to anyone and continued on with their lives, be it mortal or immortal ones.

It was this, the never ending peace and quiet that bothered the other Gods of the other realms.

The peace made the other Gods wonder about what it was that Novolzak had that kept things so peaceful. What was the secret, the treasure, the truth.

The curiosity coupled with jealousy made the Gods band together and attack Novolzak.

There were many who were jealous of his realm as well as his strength and fame.

Despite not doing anything, Novolzak had made enemies.

A big battle descended and Novolzak eventually disappeared. Did he die or did he live, that was not known until now.

The test that these Chosen Ones had been through was conducted by none other than Novolzak himself.

After getting attacked by so many Gods and knowing their dark truth, Novolzak decided to shed light about it to a select few who would lead the future and shape the universe into a better form.

What occurred to him must not occur to others, that was the goal of Novolzak.

Novolzak's realm was wiped out by other Gods and to this day, remains as desolate as it could be.

One by one, information regarding the various Gods flooded Lith's and the other people's minds.

They finally realized that this trial they were in, it was an inheritance as well as a message of the great Novolzak.

As for if the God was dead or alive, it wasn't clarified properly.

Lith didn't know about others but he felt there was more to things than this. Not to mention, everything seemed way too simple for it to be true.

In any case, he kept his doubts to himself and went with the flow.

This place asked him to side with Novolzak and hate the other Gods, he was gonna do just that.

After the information, treasures appeared one by one in front of the six, followed by a glowing red gate, which the six assumed was the exit.

In front of Lith was a black pearl anklet. It was something that could let him warp space and traverse to greater distances much faster than any teleportation Space spell below Half Emperor Rank.

Along with that, it also provided great agility in general as well as increased his understanding of Space, Time, Dark, and Wind elements.

The others got some treasures as well and once they had all done checking it, Lith said calmly,

"This is farewell."

Everyone's attention was on him now.

Tsuki's expression saddened and her lips curved downwards. "It is."

The rest had no reaction to it at least on the outside.

Sebastian walked towards Lith and extended his hand forwards. "It was nice meeting you."

Lith smiled and shook his hand. "Likewise."

"I hope to see you soon," Sebastian continued.

Lith nodded and Sebastian walked back.

Then came Ariel, the white-haired girl with golden eyes.

She kept her distance from Lith and did a small bow, saying the same things as Sebastian.

The next person that came forward wasn't Anne, but Iki, which was surprising.

Iki kept his distance too and bowed. "I hope we meet soon."

Lith bowed as well and getting up, said, "yeah, and the next time I see you, I hope you talk more."

Iki flashed a small smile in response but it went unnoticed as he was bowing down.

Finally, Anne turned to look at Lith and walked towards him.

She had a neutral look on her face and said flatly, "you're strong. The next time I see you, I'll be coming for your life."

Anne was a hunter, a necromancer, a ruler, and someone who took pleasure in killing people stronger than her.

Her acknowledging Lith's strength was something that had happened for the first time.

Lith didn't find her threatening. He smiled instead and said, "you'll be coming for me? Good. I hope that day arrives soon."

Lith made an innuendo which went unnoticed by everyone, including Anne.

Anne had seriousness in her eyes and replied, "be prepared or you'll end up losing your life."

Lith smiled and waved at her. "See you later."

Saying so, he was about to enter the gate but Ariel stopped him.

"Everyone" Ariel got everyone's attention.

She then took Lith's cross earring and showing it to everyone, said, "these things that we got for communication, they are still here."

"So?" Sebastian asked.

"So" Ariel continued, "if it hasn't been taken, then it means it can still be used. When we take our exit, the first thing we should do is check if we can still communicate. If we can, then it'll be of great help."

The rest fell silent.

"Good," Lith said and took his earring back. "I'll go outside and see if I can still talk."

Ariel nodded. "If we can establish a connection outside, maybe we can meet in the future."

Everyone agreed on this and one by one, they left the inheritance place.

Angel Continent.

Lith teleported out to an unknown island, but with the concentration of Light and Life elements being in abundance, he could guess that he was in or near the Angel Contient.

The first thing Lith did was try to establish a connection with the others.

It took a few minutes but eventually it was successful and he could hear everyone's voice, even the quiet Iki's.

Once done with this, Lith took out his phone and dialed Ralph and Dennis's number.

The two picked up and said that they were in the Neutral Continent, Ren was with them as well.

Lith instructed the two to go home and also asked Dennis to take Ren with him and hand him to any Royal Servant he could find in Nightingale.

There were Royal Servants guarding the outer periphery of the castle which was close to the Queen's district, so Dennis shouldn't have a lot of trouble getting in.

Lith then cut the call and sighed. He cracked his neck and checking the date on his phone, realized it was almost the end of the year and in just one month, he would be 101 instead of 100.

Realizing this, a sense of urgency appeared within him and he was about to teleport away, but the space around him stopped bending.

"Halt."

Two men and two women wearing similar white uniforms appeared in the air, holding a spear.

They closed in on Lith and placing the spears around him, locked him in place.

"Do not try to resist or we might need to use force. On account of trespassing into the Angel Continent, you will now be sent to the Justice Court in Ascendria. You will be given a chance to speak there, until then, it's best you keep quiet."

"Anything you say or do will be used against you, and the punishment could even lead to death without trial."
