Seventh Reincarnation
Meet Old Contacts

Hugging Areishia's body in the princess's arms, Ars walks out of the portal connecting Astral Zero with a hill located on the border of the Dracunia Empire.

Following behind him were Restia and Est.

"This is... The Holy Queen's hometown?"

Observing the surroundings, Restia could see the village in the distance. Compared to a millennium ago, the population of the village had increased a lot.

"This is Areishia's favorite place."

Looking at the flower-filled hill in front of her, Est recalled the moment the three of them lived a peaceful life.

"This will be his final resting place."

Ars' cold expression turned soft upon seeing Areishia's peaceful face.

*Earlier*

The ground in front of them split to form a rectangular hole. Then, various types of beautiful flowers miraculously grew to fill the hole.

Of course this is the work of Ars who used the Dao of Creation and the Dao of Life with the help of the Will of Heaven. It was impossible for him to create a living being like a god, but it was fine to manipulate a small thing like this.

Areishia's body soared into the air, entered the hole, and landed quietly in it.

"Areishians... It's all my fault."

Seeing her lying in a pile of flowers, Est could not help her grief and began to cry.

"Don't blame yourself, Est. Areishia knew using you would cause her death, but she did it anyway. It's her wish without coercion, she must be sad to see you cry."

Patting Est's head, Ars tries to cheer him up as tears also run down the corners of his eyes.

"Don't pretend to be tough, there's no one but us here. Who says men can't cry? Don't hold your feelings in check, Ars. Come here." Come here."

Standing in front of Ars, Restia spread her arms.

"Ughs... Hicc..."

Due to the difference in height, Ars lowered his knees to the ground, then buried his face in Restia's chest. She was crying in silence.

"Yosh Yosh... Forget all your sorrows, Ars has done his best."

While stroking Ars' hair, Restia comforts him like a mother.

After 15 minutes, Ars' mood improved.

"My love for you will always be there, even after you're gone. Goodbye, Areishia."

Staring at Areishia for the last time, Ars waved his hand. The next second, the hole slowly closed.

Using Idaten's innate skills, namely [Gun Manifestation]. Ars plunged a copy of the Severian Holy Sword into the ground as a tombstone.

"It's not enough."

Ars once again used the power of Heaven's Will.

Furthermore, an octagram-shaped protective formation enveloped the entire hill.

"What are you doing?" Ask Restia.

"This is the protector who will protect Areishia's tomb. This protector will last until this world ends or someone stronger than me destroys it." Ars answered.

He did not want anyone to damage the tomb when he had left this world. In addition, Ars also blessed all the flowers on the hill so that it never withered forever.

"You two go back to the Spirit Seal." Ars said.

"All right."

Restia nodded, then turned into a black light and entered the Spirit Seal in Ars' left hand.

Staring at Areishia's grave, Est spoke no words and also returned to the Spirit Seal in Ars' right hand.

"Let's keep my promise before we go."

The appearance of the protective formation was so striking that it attracted the attention of villagers who came to see it.

Even though Ars had been living in the village, he had no intention of greeting anyone. After all, the villagers he knew had long since died.

Ignoring them, he opened the portal and walked in.

"Oh, you're alive. I thought you were gone, considering you haven't shown your presence in the world for a millennium."

As soon as Ars passed through the portal, he was greeted by a naked girl bound by tree roots, who looked at him with a smile.

"Um, really too long. It seems you came empty handed this time."

Bahamut was a bit disappointed to see Ars not bringing the cake. Even so, he did not show it.

"I'm sorry for what happened to Areishia Idriss."

"Ms." Ars nodded.

Creating chairs and tables through the Creation Dao, he placed various kinds of cakes taken from the [Storage Magic].

*gulp*

Looking at the cake in front of him that looked delicious, Bahamut gulped his saliva hard and saliva flowed in the corner of his mouth. However, what surprised him most was that the curse that had bound him for thousands of years was destroyed by Ars with just a wave of his hand.

Unprepared, Bahamut landed on the ground with his face first. As the Dragon Monarch, he was not injured at all.

Staring at his liberated self, he was still unable to believe it.

"Don't just daze, quickly put on your clothes, or would you rather be naked?"

"Ars, how did you do it?"

Bahamut does not care if his naked body is seen, after all this is not the first time Ars has seen it.

"With a wave of my hand."

"I also know that, which I mean your method."

"To put it simply, the curse couldn't hold my power and was destroyed. Does that satisfy you?"

"How strong are you, Ars?"

"Hm... Even the Light Elemental Lord was killed by me."

"really?"

Hearing that, Bahamut was stunned. He knew how powerful the Elemental Lord, especially the Light Elemental Lord, was the strongest amongst the other Elemental Lords.

"Didn't you want to eat cake? Quickly eat before the taste diminishes."

"Ah, okay."

Divine power enveloped Bahamut, then beautiful clothes suddenly appeared on his body. Sitting on an empty chair, he began tasting the cakes one by one on the table.

"Woah, this is very sweet~. It's the first time I've ever eaten a cake this late."

Happiness was clearly visible on Bahamut's face. Not only escaped the curse, he also ate the cake given by Ars.

"Nyam nyam... You said you killed the Light Elemental Lord, what was the reason?" Bahamut asked.

"Everything started... Bla Bla Bla..."

Ars has nothing to hide, he explains the cause and effect of his actions.

After hearing the story, Bahamut felt angry.

"Hmph, Alexandros deserves to die. The bastard used Areishia as his container and also opened the gate for the Otherworldly Darkness to arrive at this world."

On the other hand, Ars started smoking.

Exhaling smoke, he gave a warning.

"Bahamut, as soon as you have to choose your heir to take over the Dracunia Empire."

"Why?"

"Because the world is about to enter a period of chaos."

"Corruption period? What do you really want to do, Ars?"

Bahamut squinted, a bad feeling appeared in his heart.

"Huffpff... The wheel is always turning, for too long women have become the hegemony of the world. It is time for men to take on the role of hegemony." Ars said indifferently.

Over the past millennium, there has been little progress in civilization. The world stagnated and remained in the medieval era.

The women in power never thrive and innovate, they are too conservative.

Drinking tea, banquets, shopping, bullying men, etc. They don't care about science at all.

Before embarking on his next journey, Ars wants to change the order of the world.
