The God of War
A Hope That Buried Sin
That piece of memory a thousand years ago flashed back and clung to his memory very clearly and real. It was as if he was thrown back in those days.
When he could not control himself and instead slaughtered almost all humans in this mortal world, not even his wife and children were also killed by his own hands.
All of those things are some bitter pieces of his memories that of course always make him feel guilty, sad, angry, sorry and a sense of revenge that is always embedded in his heart and soul.
"Then what will I get after Goddess Benzaiten revokes the curse? What.that I'll get after the curse is gone? It won't take me back to a thousand years ago, will it? I've lost the people I love .. It's even because my hands are moving beyond my control. Because of that curse I couldn't control myself in the past! Until I hurt the people I love .. I lost my wife and children .." ucan the old man who sounded heartbreaking.
"Although I had never known a Star God before, even though that demonic power had once possessed and completely taken over the body of a Star God ... but I'm pretty sure if it's deep down in the heart of the Star God, I never wanted it to happen, right? The Star God was a God who had always been admired and held in high esteem before. So noble, so charismatic, and always doing everything to create peace and always protect your people." Zhou said in a low tone, as if also feeling the tightness felt by the Star God.
"I also know .. actually the priestess was one of your proud disciples, right? It is you who asked him to seal you in this world. And you did all this, of course, to punish yourself and atone for your guilt all along, right? But due to the demonic power that had already taken possession of the body as well as the Star God consciousness back then, the Star God instead injured the female priest by widening the special portal on her palm. So that the portal widened and sucked the body of the priestess." said Zhou again explained.
Flash back on ...
As Zhou walked through the dark place filled with thousands or even millions of soul nuclei flying around him. Suddenly a soul core approached him.
Although he did not reveal his true self before Zhou, he did tell Zhou who he was.
The Star God is innocent! Even he was extremely noble and asked me to seal the core shards from his soul just to protect the world from destruction. Because of him he can no longer control the demonic power of the curse. Even though it was so hard for me, I did it because it was an order from my teacher that I always respected. I never regretted that he had hurt me and had me thrown into this spirit realm. I don't regret being stuck here with the teacher ... Star God is innocent ..."
The shrill, stifling voice of a woman was heard by Zhou, until finally the twinkling light that was the soul core of the priestess slowly began to disappear again.
Flash back off ...
The pair of brownish pupils of the old man trembled at all the words from Zhou. He still felt guilty for all the creatures he had hurt. Nature, the family he always loved, the proud disciple, and his people.
"This resource crystal belonging to Goddess Benzaiten will melt all the curses. It is not too late to fix everything, Star God. Think carefully, only you can save this world from the destruction of your own kirasodo heritage." Zhou raised both hands, and the clear, luminous, round-shaped crystal now began to float away leaving Zhou's fingers.
Suddenly a white light circled Zhou and in just one blink, suddenly Zhou had returned with both troops and Seiryu who was still waiting for him since earlier near the portal of the world of darkness.
"The princes have returned .." said the soldier Ieyasu was surprised not to play because suddenly Zhou was already in front of him, as if he had just teleported.
Inner Zhou ignored the words of the warrior Ieyasu and intended to return through the portal of the world of darkness. But Zhou had not yet gotten close to him again, the portal slowly disappearing from their sight.
Wasn't it! Actually, the portal only disappeared from Zhou's view, while the portal was still visible to the warrior Ieyasu, the warrior Toda and Seiryu. The Star God purposely did so that Zhou would not come back to see him.
Because it is very dangerous for a living human to linger in the spirit world. If he doesn't come back soon, he'll never be back forever.
"We are back to follow Yaoyao and Daimyo Nobunaga to fight against Zeus!!" zhou's decree was finally over because there was no other choice.
This dark world portal was the only portal that could connect to the spirit world realm. But now it's closed. So now there was no other choice for Zhou, and now it was time for him to face Zeus. Waging war with full force to protect the world from destruction.
"Okay, Prince!" both soldiers were obedient.
"Seiryu! Take us back to the southern sea level!" zhou's Decree to Seiryu.
"Well, Prince Hades" said Seiryu still sounded so loud despite being on the bottom of the ocean.
The two soldiers no one dared to ask much. But they were very confident and believed that Zhou would do his job as well as possible.
It only took a while, Seiryu had already brought Zhou and the two warriors back to sea level. Not to leave wet at all, for they had always been within Zhou's shield during their time in this vast sea.
Unwilling to postpone it any longer, Zhou immediately called out to Igrukingu with a beautiful melodic game with a simple flute. Eventually, they started to travel to Imbe with Igrukingu.

Meanwhile in the spirit realm, the Star God who was still in his form as an old man stared at the crystal crystal of resources belonging to Goddess Benzaiten then raised his right hand and slowly grasped it.
"You can't stay here too long. Or you will forever not be able to return to your world .." he murmured softly with a soothing face.
