In the midst of the chaos of Galdurheim with the sudden panic of many random people, at the center of the chaos, the people nearby did not experience this.
However, when Zeeta heard the voices of the two gates of the world that had opened, either because of the Kaunaz Rune or some other cause, he saw a scene that made him again afraid.
After Azure pulls the collar and gives him a well-meaning rant, Zeeta Alter, blurts out her words. "You're right, Azure sister. I'm not alone. I have Arthur's father, father, mother, Ashley's teacher, and you're all behind me. I know and he knows what you mean.
"But you won't understand. You won't understand my feelings that have been protecting you all along, when the gate opens, you force me to be at the front, to finish it all by myself.
"You said I had a Catasrophe Seal that could destroy any calamity.
"You said I had the Spirit of Yggdrasil on my side....
"You also said that another Yggdrasil Seed would help me too.
"But...."
Zeeta Alter firmly gripped the scythe he "called" from the ground.
"Your betrayal can't be forgiven. Even from the beginning, that betrayal wouldn't have happened if I wasn't in this world. That's why I'm happy to accept your life offer, Zeeta!"
Zeeta Alter brandished her scythe at her other self whose collar was still gripped by Azure. At the same time, unfortunately, lightning struck behind him— shook the ground and cracked it.
Sontak, Azure, Zeeta, Mellynda, and Tellaura immediately distanced themselves. And when they give more distance than Alter, Zeeta brushes Azure.
"Just calm down." A male voice rang out from the seventeen-year-old princess.
"Who is that?!" ask Azure.
"That gate has been successfully defended by my power. Both won't be open for a while."
Tellaura was aware of the voice, and she asked, "Are you the Ancient Spirit of Ifrit, who once helped Zeeta in the Land of Death?"
"That's right."
Zeeta Alter was not happy to hear that. "Your kind of Ancient Spirit can hold back the gates of Drakaeim and Jotunnheim...? No kidding!
"You are indeed a creature equal to Yggdrasil, but you are only the Spirit!"
Zeeta—Ifrit who once again controls his body—smiles. "You don't know anything because Ifrit's in there isn't willing to help you."
"What did you say...?!" Alter growling. "Do you know what you know about me?! That's enough, I'll finish everything here and now!"
Zeeta Alter activated the five Soul Stones before him with his Rune Ancient Magic—a Bind Rune. Ifrit who had come to witness it directly, immediately frowned.
The five Soul Stones shone with various colors. There are purple, red, orange, black, and white.
......................
[At a location that their eyes could not see that was with Zeeta Alter....
Seiryuu Empire.].
Undine's bubble-protected bodies and Hitomi's barrier field suddenly collide. They just move even though there is an incomplete body among them.
"W-what's going on now?!" ask Hitomi.
"Son Yggdrasil's Seed! Whatever happens, don't let the bodies out!"
"Good!"

In a cave in the direction of the southern spring—where Colette and her teammates met the monster figure created by Zeeta Alter—a rotten body and scattered there also moved on its own. Even those who had melted with the cave were also raised, as if wanting to fulfill the call to a higher figure.
Not only in those two places, in places that should not be touched by anyone but those who are dead....
Belle and Edouard were stunned with frightened and anxious faces. The sky of the Land of Death was filled with souls forcing a flight out of it. Not only units, tens, or hundreds, they can't even count them.
As Edouard said, the number of souls dying in the Valley of Souls, waiting their turn to be reincarnated into other life forms, was still overwhelming. And almost everything that has not been reincarnated is in the sky.
"Dar!" edouard screamed, "give all our strength to hold them!!"
"I know!" the two used a wand to watch from the pool, to conjure the sky so as not to break down between dimensions.
Everything seemed smooth, even though both of them were bluffing their teeth and sweating. Yet....
"Geez, that girl really seriously wants to destroy the world."
Both were shocked by a man's voice.
"You-you...?!" Belle knows who that man is. With Edouard. "Keenai?!"
"All of you won't know how hard he tried to destroy this other self. In fact he had already gone through some time to really be able to get his wish.
"He also did not hesitate to hold my hand which always considered his descendants as the great enemy."
While continuing to try to hold on, Belle asked, "What do you mean...?"
"Well, just look at this magic." Keeping his grin, Keenai raised his hand. A giant magic circle, which enveloped the entire soul that was trying to come out, appeared.
The magic circle is red. However, it always changes color. Sometimes it turns red, dark blue, and gray.
"The magic circle...?!" Edouard knew it.
"Hoo...? So you know...?"
"No way I don't know! You are a person of similar strength to the third Yggdrasil Seed, Hitomi Reiko!"
"Absolutely. I'm glad it doesn't take much time just to explain it to you.
"Ups, since the girl has activated it, I can't let her wait any longer."
Keenai flew over to those souls. "Come on you, Aurora." He then flicked his fingers.
"Tsk!
"DON'T LET HIM, BELLE!!!"
Edouard screamed loudly.
"YAHAHHH!!!" took out more than all the energy he had, causing a nosebleed Belle.
Water-water in the Valley of Souls rises to the sky— controlled it—to draw as many souls back.
"Impossible! I can't do more than this!"
Keenai—the figure who died at the hands of Belle—exit the Land of Death by magic—something that's NOT supposed to happen. It brought over thousands of souls from there. As soon as they came out, the sky that opened with Keenai magic, closed by itself.
"DON'T!" screec Edouard. "Belle, are you okay?" he held the daughter's body alone which was limp.
"Zeez... Zheeta...!" his hand reached his father's shoulder.
......................
[In the meantime.].
Galdurheim has been muddled with the voice of another world. They were more and more afraid and immediately wanted to end their lives, when screams of pain and pleading for help that they could not even see from the source of the voice, made the situation even more chaotic.
Ifrit, Zeeta, Mellynda, Azure, and Tellaura, seeing with their own eyes how the land opened, "spewed" the multitude of souls.
All five knew that they were from the Land of Death.
"W-what really happened...?!" Azure slack.
This unexpected Tellaura ran out of words.
"As per the agreement, I've come to help you, Miss." Keenai bowed his knees in front of Zeeta Alter.
Zeeta Alter smiled. "Good job, Keenai. I don't see some souls that should come with you.
"Hey, listen to this beautiful melody, Keenai! Isn't this very sweet for you?"
Keenai smiled widely. "It's really beautiful."
"Zeeta," said Alter, "set your wish and I finish my own words.
"Consider this melody of hell...."
Alter smiled sweetly.
Mellynda looked up at that smile. "Sister Azure! It's free to assume he's the same Zeeta as our Zeeta! He's completely different!" he had to shout because there was no end to the screams of the souls.
"I know that too! But why did he bring out all those souls!?"
"Well...." Alter was made aware of the Azure question. "I almost forgot. I'm sorry, the melody is so beautiful that it makes me forget myself.
"Look in more detail who is with this soul. You guys, go ahead."
Mellynda and Azure were shocked to death.
There, there's Danny, Gerda, Serina, and Jourgan, and Luna.
"If this is the case, even an Ancient Spirit can't fight me, can't it...?" Alter remained in his smile. "Come, you know what to do." He clapped his hands twice.
Those souls, including Aurora's comrades, are divided into five great beings—where the Soul Stone is the core. The large creature has the same characteristics as Diablo—, a creature created by Zeeta Alter who once attacked Colette and Lloyd.
"Let's start the destruction...."
