“Are you purely stupid or what, Zeeta?!” tellaura screams, at her own offspring.
“HAH?! What do you mean call my grandson stupid?!” scarlet replied, screaming.
“If I say stupid, then he's still stupid!
“After all that we, also your own ancestors did—“ Tellaura pointed Scarlet. “This young man said that he wanted to let the Soul Stone be taken by the enemy?! You really want to destroy the world?!”
Zeeta does not panic or respond excessively to Tellaura's anger. Meanwhile, the other people there also just looked at Zeeta silently, waiting for her to answer.
“Ya,” reply Zeeta, who responded surprised by everyone. “I want to destroy the world—“
Tellaura immediately wanted to slap Zeeta, but she stopped as her descendant continued. “With the help of Yggdrasil.”
“What.... you mean actually..?” Tellaura wondered.
Zeeta stood up, then explained. “I always wondered, why was I the one chosen to end all this?
“After I looked at your point of view, you saw the various bad experiences of our ancestors against this magic power. Therefore, one of our ancestors, decided to end Yggdrasil by creating a war between Humans and magic creatures, then ended by denying magic to Humans.
“One thing I learned from that ancestor, we're basically all the same. We do not want hate in our lives. However, the presence of magic in this world—which allowed everything to happen, made many races, not only Humans, become arrogant.
“Therefore, this time, not with without Yggdrasil, I will destroy the world with him.
“I will destroy this magical world order and .. end the cycle of hatred that has lasted for thousands of years, whatever the payment, even though it is my life.”
Scarlet and her friends were furious. Especially her grandmother, who was very explosive. “You won't do that with your life bet, Zeeta!
“You hear me?!
“Your ancestors have fought, even devoted their lives to your salvation—your generation!
“And you want to abandon all those struggles at the expense of your life too?!”
Zeeta smile. That made Scarlet want to be angry, but confused at the same time. “A life has a meaning of life when it is dead,” Zeeta replied, “I love you all. I don't like Belle, anyway, but I believe we can be friends gradually. I realized and I understood the meaning of the warmth.
“However, I want my life to be the ultimate determinant of this magical world to have meaning. This also does not mean that I abandoned all the struggles of my ancestors, including Tellaura who is before us at this time.
“I've talked to my ancestors many times since I was a child. Clarissa and her children, they are an example. They all have their own stories in their lives, as well as in determining the end of their lives.
“And I want the end of my life I won't regret. This decision of mine is no joke either, so .. listen to me. Please. Ragnarok still can't stop alone.”
Tellaura gently touched Scarlet's tense shoulder. He symbolizes that they can do nothing, because Zeeta has made up her mind.
Azure and Mellynda immediately embraced Zeeta afterwards. “Your friends will not be happy with your decision. Especially your mother!” exciting Mellynda.
Then Azure followed with her words. “I am also not happy with your decision, but I will support you whatever I can. Okay?”
Zeeta returned their embrace, then with her smile, replied to them. “Uhm. I'll remember it. Thank you, you two.”
When the three of them took off their hugs, Zeeta immediately had a serious face. “Alright, this is what I will do and my reason for wanting to let the Soul Stone be taken by the enemy. It will definitely be difficult to do, but it is not impossible.”
......................
Outside the village of Rhongomyniad, where the bodies of Mellynda and Azure are located, the Grand Duke and mother of Mellynda, Illia, have been there since an hour and a half ago. The two of them had secured the nearly adult teenagers into the tent. This tent was the resting place of the second princess of the kingdom and the eldest daughter of the Ophenlis family, before their souls were forcibly captured into the Land of Death.
“There is residue of which of them are chasing these princesses,” says Albert, “but there is also mana from Feline.
“Then, it has been an hour and a half that they did not return, meanwhile where these two princesses continue to weaken. I am also increasingly worried about the condition of the kingdom that is minimal in strength..”.
“I believe they will return, Albert,” reply Illia, while holding their hands tightly and keeping their body temperature warm by burning a nearby campfire.
As if to answer a mother's wishes, a portal was formed on the fence where the bodies of the two daughters were secured. Albert immediately put up his body to protect the three women.
“You're really crazy, Zee. And that has never changed since long ago.”
Her daughter's voice that was clearly heard in Illia's ears, immediately made her smile with a faintly dripping cry. “Melly?! Is that you?!” yells.
“I-Mother?”
Reading the atmosphere, Belle invites Zeeta to come with her, to the village behind them. The village is known as the End of the World, Rhongomyniad.

Belle guides Zeeta to near the end of the village which is a high cliff. They sat on a large stone resembling a mossy shell near an old, weathered house that had been destroyed with holes in both the wall and the roof.
“How?” ask Belle, start a conversation.
Zeeta glanced at Belle. “What?”
“Your impression of this village. The village whose people I killed with this hand. My form is like this.”
“You want me to be honest or lie?”
“What does your question mean?”
“I'm the first person to know you. I can take a lying path to keep my image from you.
“So?”
Belle smiled wryly. “Of course be honest, you idiot. It's too late if you want to keep your image.”
“Honestly, it feels terrible to me. Many voices... or like where evil cannot forgive you.”
“What would sound weird if I didn't regret it?”
Zeeta once again glanced at Belle. “You are not alone. What I want to do, the next generation will probably condemn the move I took.”
Belle smiled again at Zeeta's response. “Now... I still do not understand why this village is called the End of the World village.”.
“But it seems I know.”
“Eh? How?”
Zeeta shows her Catastrophe Seal ring. “Since we came out of the Land of Death, this ring has always trembled. The vibration gets stronger as I pour it on the cliff. Maybe this ring agrees with my step.” Zeeta was half joking in her sentence.
“How can you get that ring?”
Zeeta then tells the beginning. After hearing the whole story carefully, Belle asked. “This ring just picked you? Do you mind if I try to wear it?”
“Sure.” Zeeta takes off her Catastophe Seal for the first time in seventeen years.
Then when Belle wears her ring...
Zeeta as shown by clairvoyant. He saw silhouettes that continued to take turns quickly. The silhouette showed her being surrounded by countless people with each hand brandishing their magic at her, at the edge of the cliff that was so familiar to her.
“Aaaaaaahh!”
Reflexively, Zeeta shouted loudly. Belle was surprised by it. “What?! What's wrong with you?!”
Not only Belle alone, the screams of Zeeta helped provoke the attention of those who were with Azure and Mellynda.
Zeeta then hugged Belle very tightly. Belle realizes Zeeta's trembling body. “What happened... Zeeta...?” tanyakanya.
“....
“Sorry....
“Please let me do this first..”.
Belle, who had not expected Zeeta to be like this, then decided to gently stroke her long hair while replying to her embrace. Inside, Belle realized something. “Persis like myself ... Zeeta is also human.... In fact, it's actually shorter than me..”.
