The Last Ruler: The Return of the Goddess
Identity That Must Be Confidential

-- A moment ago.

" Yarghhh...!! "

Altair cried and shouted loudly for the deaths of Niell and Geas, along with that.. The necklace that Niell gave her also shone brightly.

" A, what the hell is that power?? "

" Who is that girl..!! "

The people near Altair were struck by an enormous wave of energy, a force that overflowed with Altair's grief. The power that had been sealed within his body was instantly unleashed.

Elsewhere, there were some people who could also sense the power of Altair even from a great distance away.

" It's already started, yeah. "(C)

" The wheel of his destiny that had all this time stopped... "(Y)

" It finally turned around. "(M)

" A story that transcends time and space... "(EC)

" It will repeat itself. "(H)

" When the doors of the past and the doors of the future meet, the path of destiny that awaits them will unfold. The choice is in his hands, will he end it all by helping the world, or destroying everything in despair. "(Q)

Predicted destiny will lead to the future, but the one who determines destiny is walking is the one who gets that destiny. In short, Altair must decide for himself which destiny he will choose for the future.

" Ohhh...!! "

Sringg....

Slowly... Altair's form changed, changing to a form never seen from him before. Although he had basically returned to his initial appearance, but with a strength that no one had seen before him, it definitely made them confused.

" Mom, kill the boy! " cry someone to the other.

And the men attacked Altair simultaneously, but in the end they were defeated by Altair himself.

back to this moment.

The atmosphere in that place was still as tense as before, where Altair who did not answer the question of the leader of the mysterious people at all. He just looked at them with a cold look.

" I said who you are!!" cried the man who yelled at Altair.

And this time, Altair called them "... My pals... My family... Who killed the people in this village,... It is you!!" said Altair, who was in front of them at this time.

Hmh...

Altair just flicked his finger, immediately appeared the pointy ice that locked the criminals who were in front of Altair, although not until everything was confined, but quite a lot of them were there.

Then from above the sky appeared a large magic circle, and from that magic circle also appeared dozens of other swords. Altair simply moved his hands down, and all of the swords immediately rained down on all the people trapped inside the ice prison.

" ah.. Arghhh..!! "

" The..!! "

" Run!! "

Creating fear for the people who are out there, they start to mess around to get away from that place.

" I won't let anyone run!"." said Altair, who was heard echoing there.

With just a single hand movement, a portion of the sword that fell like the rain was chasing the people who were trying to escape from there. And from a distance there, above the dark sky illuminated by the flames from the village, a giant creature appeared flying past the village.

Roarr...

The loud roar of the creature can deafen the ears of people who hear it, its presence in that place can make people who had felt strong so look like incomparable ants.

A dragon.. It flew right at them, and landed right behind the Altair. Without Altair commanding, the dragon immediately spouted a bluish-colored flame towards the person whom Altair had deemed an enemy, as if their minds were connected to each other.

Instantly, the same massacre was carried out by Altair, only he did it faster than the people did to the people in his village. Meanwhile, the Imperial troops could only look at it in horror and awe at the same time.

" A, captain.. Now what do we do?? Do we have to catch the little girl?? " ask one of the troops.

" It looks like he's one of the villagers who survived, we can ask for his information" said one of them.

" ...No. "answer Yin firmly, "No one moves, let me take care of this" he said as he walked forward towards Altair and the dragon slowly.

" Ka, Captain. "call the other troops from their place.

While Altair, currently just standing still staring at his village which was already charred by the fire, with the dragon that had come quietly beside him. Whether he was aware of the existence of the dragon or not, but he did not react at all.

He has killed all who hurt him and the villagers, he has eliminated those who killed them. And he already.. Revenge all the villagers, but not the pleasure he felt, not the sadness, just... An emptiness.

" Kiddo, "call Yin back there.

Altair who heard her also slowly turned towards Yin, with tears drenching her cheeks. Yin seemed very surprised to see her, perhaps because the current Altair looked pitiful, or perhaps she looked similar to someone she knew.

" Daughter, are you okay?? " ask Yin with worry.

Altair just nodded his head, then he walked towards Yin with a shunt step " .... My grandfather... My grandma.. Uncle Geas.. Aunt Niell.. Please.. Please them" said Altair, who then lost consciousness.

It was fortunate that Altair's body was caught by Yin, otherwise he might fall to the ground. Yin looked at Altair with sadness, and then she held her unconscious body.

" Find all the victims, after which we return to the capital.

" Good!. " replied the troops simultaneously.

*****

When the sunlight rose from the east, it infiltrated through the slit of the bedroom window, waking Altair from his deep slumber. The first thing he saw was a very foreign place, a place that looked luxurious and also very spacious.

Altair got up from his sleep and sat where he was, he spread his gaze in all directions, until then his eyes caught the movement of the open door. From out there, a woman dressed as a servant entered, she went in there with a tray in her hand, and she looked at her.

" Anu... Where is this, huh?? " ask Altair.

Prang...

The waiter dropped the tray in his hand with a surprised expression, Altair himself was also surprised because of the response from the waiter.

" Ah!! Master Yin, Miss is awake!! " the servant shouted as he ran out to find the man he was looking for.

While Altair who was still confused was left there.

-- A few moments later.

After the servants who came to his place before him, the other servants also came there. Coinciding when Altair was about to go looking for the bathroom, so all they helped her take a bath even though Altair had refused, they then put on her clothes that she had never worn so far.

A dress that looks very luxurious and beautiful ornaments in her hair, they even dress her with a very charming like a Princess King. Altair was uncomfortable with it, but he could not do anything.. No matter how hard he tried to reject them.

" It's over, Miss. " said one of the servants who helped her prepare, who then bowed along with the others.

" ah, uh,.. Thank you. "sahut Altair is a bit awkward.

He still smiled sincerely, despite feeling burdened with the attitude of the servants who were too respectful. And most importantly... He still doesn't know where he is now. But then his attention was again diverted why the door was open.

Chequek...

" The dress is perfect for you" said the man who had just entered the room he occupied.

Altair stared intently at the person in front of him, confused as to who he was. " Anu... Who, huh?? "

The person who had just come to see him was Yin, who was also the one who brought him there. Yin laughed at Altair's confused face, then asked.

" Didn't you remember what happened before?? " tanya Yin, who was immediately reciprocated by the headband of Altair.

He really does not remember what happened, except for the fact that everyone he loved has arrived. Yin who saw the look on Altair's face turned sad to understand it, however she was the only survivor of the massacre.

Shortly after, Yin decided to talk there while sitting down, explaining the current situation of Altair. Before that he had also asked the servants to leave.

" Then.. We start again from the beginning. My name is Yin, the captain of the Imperial forces" said Yin introducing himself.

" Sa, I... Altair Drosera. "nearly said Altair after knowing who the person in front of him was.

" Don't tense up like that, just talk casually" Yin said, Altair just nodded her head at hearing that. Then Yin asked again, "Your name... Is that all?? " ask Yin.

" yeah?? S, I do not know. I was raised in the village by grandparents only, I do not know who my parents are. " replied Altair.

Yin stared intently, there was no look of deceit from Altair's face. If that was indeed true, it meant that Altair did not know his true identity.

" Alright, don't think about that. You also do not need to worry, all the victims of the massacre were buried properly a few days ago" said Yin.

" Well, " replied Altair who was not focused, a moment later he had just realized what he heard. " ... Pardon you?? A few days ago?? " he said confused.

Yin nodded her head, "Yeah, because you haven't woken up we can't take you to see, but all the tombs have got their identity." Yin explained with a bright smile.

While Altair was still unconscious from the shock, " .. How long do I sleep?? " ask Altair.

Yin counted from the first day Altair was unconscious. " Hm... If it's not wrong maybe a week "he said.

" A week?! "

" ... Around that. "

Altair could not speak anymore to hear that, how he could sleep that long and again in a place that was foreign to him. How could it be like that... But then he remembered something very important.

" Ah, sorry... But what about those mysterious people?? " ask Altair.

Yin's face was still as calm as water, "It's a pity that we couldn't catch one, but at least they were all dead" she replied.

" Dead?? How could they die?? "

" You killed them. "

" ... Eh?? "

Altair hears something he can't believe anymore, he thinks maybe Yin is joking with her. But the serious look on his face did not indicate that he was joking. At the same time Altair also saw the shadow of that night, as he killed the men.

" i... Kill them?? " inner Altair.

His hands trembled remembering that, though he never killed anyone. Altair is shocked to learn that he killed all the criminals.

" tair... Altair's! " call for Yin which makes Altair aware of his reverie.

Altair turned his head towards him, not realizing when Yin was standing from his seat and was currently standing beside him, as he was too focused on the frightening memory.

" Be calm, don't let those memories take over you" Yin said.

" Ta, But... Those people are dead. How-how?? L am.. It has no power whatsoever "said Altair who is still trembling.

" Just the opposite, replied Yin, which made Altair confused again, Yin also touched Altair's hair. " You have an infinite source of power, a core of power that no one can touch. The power that only you have, which no one can ever match" he said, then kissed Altair's long hair.

Slowly, the black hair changed again like a while ago, even Altair himself was surprised to see it. Hair color that he had never seen anywhere, hair with a shiny golden color.

" My hair" said Altair who was still dumbfounded to see her.

Then Yin suddenly knelt down in front of Altair, "You have a lot more power than you think. It is also a huge influence on the world. Therefore, promise me that you will keep this from anyone. Until you rediscover what you lost" Yin said.
