Demon General Jack McEnda IV.

That was the nof the most powerful Demon General of Gozon, under the rule of Demon King Ginaroad.

He was a Level 1000 ArchDemon who was a tiny little bit away from exuviating and surpassing Transcendence.

When he stepped into Aidos 1000 years ago, havoc followed.

50% of the Aidosian Transcendents who died in the war were all killed by this one man. He alone killed nearly 500 Transcendents.

Let's not talk about how many thousand Sovereigns and Legendries perished to his powers of darkness.

Eventually, 'Dragon Lord' Gorm Saenni had no choice but to step up and confront McEnda IV as the man's actions had diminished the Aidosians' morale and forces.

McEnda IV also had similar thoughts towards Gorm, as the Dragon Lord had left a trail of Peak Rank Demon Corpses wherever he went.

At this point in tin the War, the Seven Heroes had succumbed to their 'Curse' and had lost their Transcendent Powers, so McEnda IV did not see them as much of a threat unless they were all together.

His focus was on Gorm, and the two met in a battle that decimated half of the then Delta Continent, which was a lot considering the Continent was over 200 million square kilometres in area.

McEnda IV's power that plunged the Delta Continent into eternal night was part of the reason the continent was renamed the 'Dark Continent'.

Their battle had even sunk a quarter of the continent below the ocean.

Of what was left, half of that was completely devastated, with wounds that the plneeded decades to heal from.

Not wounds in the figurative sense, but LITERAL wounds. The Plitself had bled due to the havoc their battle caused.

Thinking of this, Evan realised just how much more powerful Peak Transcendents were.

In the end, both McEnda IV and Gorm dealt the final blows to each other.

At first, it appeared Gorm was victorious, but it didn't take ten seconds for Gorm to succumb to his injuries caused by McEnda's corrosive darkness and follow the demon in death.

This was one of the Greatest Losses of Aidos during that war, and consequently the root of the belief that Artemisia had forsaken Aidos.

Throughout that battle, thousands of priests, Saints and Saintesses, all prayed to the gods for blessings to aid Gorm in battle and all the gods answered.

All except the Chief goddess Artemisia.

This was where that belief found its root.

However, those who proclaimed this faced severe oppression and 99% of them were silenced through various means.

Powerful Transcendents like the then Pope of the Holy Empire, the Emperors of the Great Empires and even the Barbarian King Morass took action to suppress this.

Considering the god Morass worshipped was not Artemisa, but Canis, the god of War, it was strange that the man took action on behalf of Artemisia's faith.

But looking at it from a strategic standpoint, his actions were rational as such belief would have killed Aidos' already low morale.

The True reason for this, however, was because of what happened on the battlefield that day.

The Seven Heroes, Barbarian King Morass, the Holy Emperor and many other powerful Transcendents of that tknew that Artemisia had not forsaken Aidos.

After all, from the first second of that battle to the second Gorm dropped dead, Artemisia was present.

Not an avatar, but her true body.

However, Artemisia could not lift a finger. The Restrictions on her prevented her from doing anything.

When Altrishia met Artemisia while she was constructing the Tower of Trials' Entrance, Artemisia stated that Altrishia had no idea about their circumstances.

Hers, Gorm's, and McEnda IV's.

This was true, as Altrishia was too weak to be near the battlefield a that time.

She also was not a Transcendent and did not know that the gods were restricted from taking MAJOR actions that interfere with Transcendents and below.

This was why despite his power that could match lower Levelled Beings above Transcendence, McEnda IV had not exuviated and surpassed Transcendence.

He purposely held himself back, so he would not fall under the category of beings Artemisia could act against, after all, Artemisia only needed a single attack to delete McEnda IV from existence.

This was McEnda IV's 'circumstance'. There was also the issue with the words Roselia described Demon King Ginaroad Sargon with: 'A Control Freak'.

Gorm also had his own 'circumstances', and it was because of this that Barbarian King Morass was present that day to watch the battle and prevent other Peak Ranked Demons from interfering.

As for Artemisia, the most she could do was give 'small' blessings to people already connected to her.

The reason was the first action that she took the moment she found out about the invasion from Gozon.

The Barrier she created around the Plprevented Demon King Sargon from entering Aidos.

Even if the Dimensional Rift was opened wide enough for gods to troop in, Ginaroad could still not enter Aidos.

Why Artemisia did this was very simple:

The goddess was looking at the War in the long run.

Evan had stated once that the day Ginaroad Sargon steps into Aidos is the day that Aidos is FINISHED.

The EOTD had also stated that Ginaroad entering Aidos = 90% of Aidos wiped from the face of the planet.

Artemisia's actions were based on the fact that even if millions of Peak Ranked Demons were to cin; Aidos would still eventually recover from the damage.

But if it was just one being bearing the title of 'Demon King', then it was instant GOVER.

K. O!

Aidos' HP would have gone from 50% to -50%.

To prevent that from happening, Artemisia took action and unfortunately, that action was as MAJOR as could be.

There was a difference between the 'Elven Emperor' title, 'Beast King' title, 'Dragon Lord' title, and the 'Demon King' title.

The Transcendents of Aidos had their titles because they were Monarchs of their respective nations.

It was why Rathal did not have any 'Human King' title; because he wasn't a monarch of a nation called the 'Human Nation'

Zaos, Altrishia, and Kolvar, however, ruled the Elven Empire, Dragon Country and Beast Kingdom respectively.

Ginaroad's title, however, was a 'Race Ruler' title. The kind that only beings who were part of the Universe's Pantheon possessed.

It was a title that conferred him Kingship over not just Gozonian Demons, but Demons of other planets as well.

The Weight of the title was different, as such, Artemisia's interference was considered to be 'MAJOR'.

It wasn't that the goddess was physically restricted, but that she had no choice but to do nothing.

Artemisia herself was a 'god Queen'.

The woman could have broken the restrictions on her with ease, but that would have let the 'Old gods' know that she valued Aidos more than normal and this would have caused an even greater calamity for the planet.

So, she had no choice but to stay put.

Looking back up at the Statue of McEnda II, Evan took pictures and made a note to ask Roselia and Nadarus about it later before they finally left the Hall.

They entered another hallway and headed down, looking through another set of murals on the walls and ceiling, depicting ancient battles.

"That's our World, isn't it?"

"Indeed."

Evan and Heather could see the shapes of the Alpha and Beta Continents on the pldepicted in the Murals.

It depicted a battle between two beings, fought atop Aidos. As they walked down the hallway, they followed the story.

The two beings fought, and then they were ambushed by over a hundred others and killed, their blood flowing across the stars.

"I wonder what this battle was about?"

Answering Evan's question in place of Artemisia: this was the reason why a PrWorld like Aidos, had just 3 Continents currently.

They walked forward for a bit and eventually left the Museum Area and entered another massive hall. The floor of this chamber was dominated by a gigantic mana circle, making it clear at a glance that it was no ordinary place.

Heather's ring was silent, but Evan knew it wasn't going to be the case for long.

"The magic power concentration here is so dense…"

The Princess's face contorted as she roused her magic power to resist the pressure before she was finally able to move.

It gave her the sfeeling of the gravitational force that dragged them inside here.

'Is this the source?'

Just as she thought that, she saw Evan walk towards the centre of the Magic Circle without bothering to check around for danger.

"Evan?! What are you doing? We don't know what this Magic circle is for!"

"Don't worry, it's harmless."

'It's what I chere for, after all.'

Evan kept the other thought to himself as he stood in the centre of the magic circle and turned to face Heather before asking.

"Heather."

"What is it?"

The Princess was walking towards the magic circle to join up with Evan when the boy suddenly asked her a strange question.

"The Ancient Hero who created this place. His daughter married a certain man from a certain Great Noble Family on the Alpha continent.

Would you take a guess as to what his last nwas?"

"Just say it already."

Evan smiled wryly and waited for the instant Heather's foot stepped into the Magic Circle before replying.

"It was Wilson."

"…what?"

Heather stepped into the magic circle, and immediately the ring on her hand began to shine once more. The ambient magic power stirred and began swirling around the magic circle while she looked at Evan with surprise.

'Is he saying that the Imperial Family has the blood of an ancient Hero? Or rather how does he know this in the first place? Because he's the Leader of the New Heroes? No, that doesn't add up.'

The Princess stopped walking and then looked straight at Evan before asking him.

"Evan…what does this magic circle do?"

"It uses the power of the World Law of Evolution to increase your Race Breed.

Long story short, when it's done with you, you'd go from 'Human' to 'High Human'."

"…to think such a thing exists."

Heather did not know if it was even possible for one to increase their Race Breed so easily. The only situations she had heard of such happening was when one was going from the Epic to the Legendary Level or Legendary to Sovereign. This was usually done with the aid of catalysts or after spending years stuck at the Peak of the previous Existence Level.

She had never heard of a magic circle or spell that increased one's Race Breed for free.
