A slight smile appeared on Solliver's face as he looked at them, trying to ignore the looks of some of the students, including Yuta, who was quiet and indifferent to his speech. However, he did not say anything, they were the glory and the golden goose that would raise the status of Versalkin Academy to the sky.
During the upcoming celebration, imposing harsh penalties on them or preventing them from joining will do them more harm than good.
Lucifer snaps his fingers, and several giant runic gates appear, leading directly to Versalkin Academy.
The students' gazes and hearts were filled with a strange dread. It was not fear or anything like that, but rather the dread of leaving a place where they had spent a certain period of time during which they were required to stay.
However, the students ignored this and began to pass through the gates without any hesitation, as glory and a bright or dark future were just one step away.
A very strong light emanated, accompanied by a feeling of lightness and imbalance for several seconds, before they found themselves inside Versalkin Academy, in the square designated for student gathering, which was the place from which they set off for Jigua Island several days ago.
Due to the sudden lack of gravity and their appearance without preparation, some of them began to vomit or lose consciousness due to their bodies being unable to comprehend the situation.
However, there were some students to whom nothing happened, and they were only 50 students.
Each of them went to his apartment to take a rest after six very stressful days, full of successive problems, and a real rest period that did not exceed one day.
At Jia's, who was resting in her room while remembering the words of Brevica, Yuta, and the last vamp, Ping Tao Shen.
"Your actions, your appearance, the way you walk, the way you talk, are so similar to Yuta, even your energy frequency is similar, that twins don't even have that happen to each other."
"You should be very careful of Duke Aster Guilford, he is not a trustworthy person. However, I will tell you something: when he dies, I will be the one to kill him. However, you will not take revenge on him then, you will sever your relationship with the Guilford family once and for all, and you will know the truth hidden from everyone. Remember that, Jiya."

......
"As I tell you these things, you will soon know them. Life presents facts before our eyes, but we always ignore them. Isn't life cunning, my dear Gia Guilford?"
.............
............
......
"How did you know that there was a bondage seal placed in my heart? I didn't even know it existed!"
"You'll know when the time is right."
.............
............
......
"If you want to know the truth, why don't you follow me to Barhais City to celebrate the Summer Festival? You will know everything you want to know, and I guarantee you will be shocked."
"Have a good night, Mr. Jia Casserford."
Jia kept remembering these words and everything that happened during this period, from the smallest things to the biggest things ever.
However, she didn't understand anything. Everything seems inconsistent, but harmonious at the same time. She and Yuta are from two separate families, but they are related at the same time.
And all the evidence proves this, from the increase in her strength when he is near her, to the exaggerated similarity between them in everything.
She took a deep breath while looking at the ceiling of her room, trying to explain what was happening, before deciding not to participate in the final exam for the year, and preparing herself for what would happen at the summer festival or what might happen before it, given the eccentricities of the Caseral family.
Yuta Caseral will see Caseral and Kir, and he will see Athena, the head butler. Each one of them is stranger than the other.
To close her eyes, surrender to fatigue and exhaustion, and leave knowing the truth until the appropriate time.
The same applies to the rest of the students who were sound asleep in their rooms.
Among them are Lucy, Brevica, Gray, Ruichi, Tom, Jian Yi, Armin, and Seok, due to extreme exhaustion.
As for Yuta, he was sitting on his balcony while looking at the bright sky, it was still 8:30 in the morning, with a calm look as he drank his tea.
With a very slight smile, it disappeared, replaced by a blank look as he looked at his reflection in the glass that was to his right.
He did not see himself as a powerful entity with absolute power and authority, but rather as a young man who had suffered the trauma of betrayal, and a giant hole taking his entire left shoulder and chest, and part of his right chest.
He looked at him without saying anything, but he could understand the blame and silent reproach he was being subjected to through the empty looks of his reflection, devoid of life or the desire to survive.
He closed his eyes and tried to recover himself. Yuta knew deep down that he was still weak, and he was not able to achieve the condition of reaching the fifth level of his wing.
Because of a psychological complex that still clings to him to this day, he opened his eyes again while looking towards the sky.
"I was a weak, fool who thought the world was so beautiful."
He sighed, trying to clear his mind, only to find that his reflection had returned to its usual self. However, Yuta's facial features never changed, being sure that the past still haunted him, and that revenge would do nothing if his soul still blamed itself for it.
He looked at his hand, which he saw filled with his golden blood for several seconds, before it disappeared like a very disturbing mirage.
"A war that will never end, because it does not want to end."
Yuta's tone of voice was calm as he placed his hand over his heart, a slight smile on his face.
To close his eyes and try to take a break from the world, even for a few minutes. Yuta wasn't sleeping because he needed to, but because he found it the best option to disconnect from the world.
An entire day passes at the speed of light, and all the students are in a deep sleep because of what happened during the time they spent outside Versalkin Academy.
At 5:30 a.m., at Utah Caseral, who was sleeping on the balcony of his house.
He then woke up and headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower, trying to clear his mind of any thoughts that were not important at the moment.
Inside the bathroom, Yuta was holding his head high as memories of that day, which he had always wanted to forget, came back to him, but it always came back to him after every important stage of his plan; Once when he developed the Eye of Spiritual Enslavement into the Eye of Fate Manipulation and the Eye of Soul Manipulation, and then into the Soul Eating Eye. And this day was no exception.
At the Sacred Tree of Existence, Yuta was standing in the middle of twelve thrones, on which sat the protectors of the Sacred Tree of Existence.
Yuta's facial features were full of life as he looked towards the throne of the Chief Protectors of the Sacred Tree of Existence, which had been under the control of Zhao Li Yong for 700 billion years, after Ji Yao Li was overthrown.
"How are you, son Yuuto? You look happy today. Aww, you can get up. No need for formalities. I consider you my son. Have you forgotten? Since your family members started dying, I've been taking care of you."
Zhao Liyong's tone of voice was calm as he looked towards Yuto.
As he knelt on one knee, Yuta, who appeared to be in his thirties, looked towards Zhao Liyong with looks full of life and happiness.
His gray eyes were glowing with a light gray glow, evidence of how happy he was.
"I'm sorry, my adopted father Zhao Li Yong, I'm very excited as you can see."
Yuta was talking to Zhao Liyong while laughing clumsily.
As for Zhao Liyong, he showed signs of surprise as he looked at Yuta, bowing his head as a sign of not understanding the reason for his excessive enthusiasm.
To speak with some confusion:
"I see...but why are you so excited? Did something good happen to you? I haven't seen you this happy since Mizuki died 11 million years ago. Unfortunately, she died without giving you a single child."
Zhao Liyong's tone of voice had some sadness at the end of his words, but it turned into a warm smile again.
At Yuta, a sigh subconsciously left his mouth, carrying a mixture of sadness, despair, and remorse.
Immediately after he had recovered himself, he changed the subject and spoke in a tone filled with enthusiasm:
"My adopted father, Zhao Li Yong, and all the protectors of the Sacred Tree of Existence, whom I consider to be one of my second family members, after my previous family whose members died, and my family from my previous world."
"I will share my joy and happiness with you."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Yuta laughed uncontrollably from his excitement, raising his hand and his black robe moving with a slight blush in the air, trying to keep up with his excessive enthusiasm.
"I have unlocked a new ability called Ability Creation, which enables me to create any ability, regardless of its type or strength."
There was absolute silence after he spoke, and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree of Existence looked at each other without saying anything. This made Yuta surprised, and he suddenly felt a mixture of anxiety, fear, and tension.
Even though he considered Zhao Liyong as his father, Yuta became suspicious of people very quickly.
Thanks to this mentality, the fantasy empire that was under Utah's rule maintained its grip on the ruler's path, and expanded to rule several other existential paths, amounting to eight paths. It was the largest empire in the entire history of imagination.
"Is there something wrong? Your sudden silence really scares me. If there's a problem, tell me, this atmosphere doesn't make me comfortable."
Yuta's tone of voice was filled with worry as he looked towards the protectors of the Sacred Tree of Existence, who were looking at him with gazes that held no emotion whatsoever.
Even Zhao Liyong's gaze was cold, carrying a great deal of greed that he did not try to hide.
"The promised day has finally come."
Zhao Liyong spoke calmly as he looked towards Yuta.
Who was so confused that his body was trembling violently involuntarily, and this made Zhao Liyong's smile expand even more, to the point of showing his white teeth.
"Do you know who caused the death of Nefertina Lunaria Doralia Jemisene Fuccaro and Aristotle, and your friends from your previous life who incarnated with you and from this world?"
Yuta's face turned into shock as he looked towards Zhao Li Yong, falling to his knees in despair.
His legs were unable to support him, so he turned his face downwards, and his tears began to fall involuntarily.
"My mothers, my fathers, my friends who I considered my brothers... You caused their death, even my wife. They died because of you, didn't they?"
"Why? Why? Why did you do that? I didn't do anything bad to you, but you completely ruined my life! I considered you my father and teacher, the person I entrusted my life to, but you were the one who made me suffer!"
"You and those scum really... after everything I've done for you, you're rewarding me like this?"
Yuta spoke with a mixture of sadness, despair, hatred, anger, and shock.
However, Zhao Liyong's facial features did not change anything, and he did not say anything, but continued to look at Yuta with cold eyes that did not hold any concern for him. In his mind, the matter was over, and what had happened was done. That's why he wasn't interested in Yuta's screaming, and considered his screaming just an annoying dog barking.
He points his finger at Yuta's heart, and a hole the size of an adult man's hand forms in the place of his heart.
Yuta's eyes shrunk to the size of pins in shock, while he vomited golden blood from his mouth.
"What...what?!"
Yuta turned his gaze towards Zhao Liyong in shock at his sudden attack. Moreover, the injuries that people who have reached immortality receive when they fight people who have also reached immortality, but are weaker than them, become incurable wounds. This left Yuta unable to treat the injury he sustained to his heart.
But before he knew anything, most of his left ribcage had been completely wiped out.
His radiant golden blood flowed abundantly as he looked at Zhao Liyong and the rest of the protectors of the Sacred Tree of Existence with a look of disbelief and disbelief, only to get up staggering due to the fatal injuries he had sustained.
"It seems that your real goal was to kill me before I was even born into this world, right? And you exploited me to make the biggest gains! What a bunch of power-hungry bastards you are! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
Yuta was speaking with an obvious cold sarcasm, as if he was not on the verge of death, and this made even Zhao Liyong surprised.
"If you think I've told you everything, then you're a complete fool. I am Yuuto, the Great Outcast Shard and Master of the Rightful Ruler's Path, I am the one who was created to rule over everything. Remember well, when we meet again, you will be a lifeless corpse while I drink wine mixed with your blood through your skull. However, this day is no exception, you will not take anything from me, you bastard dog."
Yuta immediately then detonated his body, releasing a powerful explosion that illuminated the ruler's entire path, as a result of which Yuta and all the protectors of the Sacred Tree of Existence died, including Zhao Liyong, who had relaxed their defenses to the maximum due to their confidence that they would finish Yuta's matter quite easily.
Yuta opened his eyes while looking at his reflection in the mirror. His appearance was pathetic to him. No matter how hard he tried to forget that fateful day, it constantly haunted him.
Chased by that pathetic side of him, who couldn't protect anyone, and lost everything, even his life, which he had to sacrifice to create another chance.
To put his hand on the mirror that showed his reflection, he found himself with the same injury, blood flowing abundantly, and lifeless, completely empty looks.
He directed his hand to his face, and discovered that tears were flowing abundantly from his eyes. They were not tears of sadness for death and loss, but rather tears of bitterness of helplessness and failure that still burned him from within every moment.
That was the day he later discovered that he was just a useless, pathetic idiot.
Yuta didn't say anything, and kept looking at the ground while holding his cheek, as if in shock, trying to clear his mind, but he was in conflict with himself.
A side that wants to forget that day, and a side that is still clinging to it and does not want to let go, no matter the cost.
He wiped his face and hair once, while directing his face directly into the cold water, trying to force himself to wake up from a trivial nightmare, but his body was able to withstand the freezing temperatures of space, and much more, so cold tap water was nothing to mention.
Then he went out and dried himself in preparation for the first day at Versalkin Academy after an absence of five consecutive days.
And the beginning of the first day of preparations for the festival marking a thousand years since the defeat of the demon world.
Although he did not seem to care, he was aware that it would be full of many events, some of which he would be present or not, but which would eventually happen.
He left his apartment with a calm look, prepared for anything unexpected or unexpected. He had enemies inside and outside of Versalkin Academy at the moment, so anything was possible, even what seemed impossible.
