"Damn, this turns out to be a story about a guy and his pet!" Fang Jueyu almost teared up. As touched as he was, something felt a bit odd. If this Mashimaro named Eno were a young lady instead, maybe others would find it more relatable.
But Fang Jueyu figured it all out. Eno's master was indeed this Golden Will. They grew up together, trained together, adventured together, fought together, and went through the destruction of the Root Universe together.
The ice sealing Eno wasn't just any regular ice. Not even the master of the Golden Will knew where it came from. Maybe it was something left over from an even older universe.
But it perished, leaving only this barely existing will, and after billions of years of slumber, Eno actually awoke again in this Forbidden Land. Facing this unfamiliar world and a long-gone master, it chose to seal itself in this place, waiting for this universe to cycle again or for the end of everything.
