After Zaid woke up from the bed, he turned to Leio and asked, "What is this place? And who are you?"Leio replied, "This is my research lab, Zaid. You've been sleeping for months since we recreated you.
"Zaid frowned. "What nonsense are you talking? You can't recreate me." Then he paused, staring hard. "You're Leio, Chucky's son. Is that correct?"Leio nodded. "Yes, you're right. That's who I am."Zaid said calmly, "I'm going to find Boxery after I finish my mission."He touched Leio's forehead and whispered, "Now, I'm going to erase your memory."
With his power, Zaid wiped Leio's memories away—leaving him empty and lost.Leio blinked, dazed. "Which mission, Zaid? Why are you doing this?"
But Zaid only smiled. "Now I'm the god of aliens, and I must do this."
Leio slumped down; his thoughts faded into silence.Zaid left the lab and went to the Ooka tribe, hiding there for a few minutes to regain his strength.Meanwhile, Orbigodo and Chucky, after traveling for fifteen days, finally arrived at the western lab.
They got down from their horses, only to find the entire lab burned and destroyed—blue smoke drifting through the air.Chucky was stunned. "No… it can't be!" He collapsed to his knees, frantically searching for Leio.
"Leio! Leio!"Orbigodo said, "Father, Leio was here, he was sleeping… but why are things like this? I don't understand."Chucky stammered, "Quick! Get the water bottle.
I need to splash some on his face."Orbigodo handed him the bottle; Chucky poured water onto Leio's face.A few minutes passed. Leio finally opened his eyes and saw his father Chucky and brother Orbigodo.
Chucky hugged him tightly, tears in his eyes. "Thank God he didn't harm you!" He kissed Leio's forehead in relief.But Leio looked distant. "Who are you? Who am I? What am I doing here? I just know I have orders from Lord Zaid to complete.
"Orbigodo grabbed his shoulders, shouting, "Leio, how could you forget us? I'm your big brother Orbigodo—he's your father Chucky!"Chucky cried out desperately, "No, Zaid! You can't erase his memory!"With a furious howl, Chucky roared, "Zaid, I will not let your plans succeed! I'll kill you—even if I have to burn in my own blood!"Turning to Orbigodo, Chucky explained, "Zaid has erased Leio's memory. Now Leio only remembers what Zaid said—nothing else."Chucky ordered, "Tie Leio with rope and watch him.
I'm going to find Zaid and end his work today. If I die, you must finish it your own way—this is our last chance."Orbigodo shook his head. "No, Father, I must go with you."Chucky's voice hardened.
"It's an order. You must survive. If I fail, you finish what I started, for humanity's sake—otherwise, more innocent blood will be lost."Orbigodo nodded.
"Yes, Father. I promise—I will do whatever it takes for humanity to survive."Chucky mounted his horse and rode off to find Zaid.Elsewhere, Ruka was settled at the Yellow Door, crying.
"This place was once our home… Now look what's happened."She whispered to herself, "Zaid… why didn't you finish your work? Why won't you wake up? Please, wake up…"Meanwhile, Zaid, now in the Ooka tribe, found Marcho's successor, Commander Marko, who was now leading the tribe after the war. Chucky had killed Marcho.When Commander Marko saw Zaid, he asked sharply, "Now you come… but why did you vanish everything? If you just followed Boxery's plan, we wouldn't have lost so many family members and friends.
"Zaid looked at him calmly. "I know what you're saying. But you're talking to Zaid—the god of the aliens. Show respect."
