Bela revealed the universe as a spherical bubble destabilized by foreign mana and the expanding Sea of Endless Miasma, prompting the creation of King Allen as the ultimate hero blessed by the world's laws. She detailed his unparalleled powers, including dual legendary skills and support from legendary allies and swords. Bela explained forging the Sword of Promised Destinies, an omnipotent artifact capable of realizing any wish, even world destruction, which elevated King Allen to the first True God.

The force dictating the fate and destiny of every creature across the world stems from the heavenly will, tasked with preserving the immense web formed by endless threads of fate and strands of destiny.

Beings of all kinds, entities, and even non-living items like stones and grains of sand each possess their unique destiny.

Stars perish and explode into supernovae, laying the groundwork for fresh stars to emerge; that marks a star's destined path.

Black holes themselves fall prey to ’change,’ much less mere mortals such as humans.

Fate's strings and destiny's threads link the whole world together, upholding ’order.’

Without these fate threads and destiny strands striving to preserve the world’s ’balance’ and ’order,’ chaos would unravel the world on its own, boosting the odds of universe-shattering disasters.

The Sea of Endless Miasma stands as one such disastrous force; it embodies pure ruin and rot.

Within the Sea of Miasma, ’order’ and ’balance’ find no foothold whatsoever, and the fundamental ’laws’ of the ’world’ suffer suppression under the miasma's crushing might!

Anything plunging into the Sea of Miasma forfeits the backing of fate's threads, falling under the miasmic sea's dominion to transform into a tool of devastation and decay.

Demons, monsters, and malevolent beings dwelling in the sea of miasma operate beyond the ’order’ binding the rest of the world.

"Demons reject the natural world order of our ’world,’ making them akin to a cancer within our ’world’; their presence alone disrupts the natural world order..."

"Should the sea of miasma continue its rampage unchecked for millennia as it has, this ’Cancer’ will trigger the ’Death’ of our universe..."

The ’World’ possesses a semi-aware ’heavenly will’; thus, the universe can be viewed as a living entity in its own right.

Any living or existing thing remains vulnerable to corruption, decay, and the ’cancer’ represented by the miasmic sea.

No being, whether alive or inert, escapes the taint of miasmic corruption!

"To confront this world-ending ’cancer,’ to battle the Abominable and Mighty Sea of endless miasma... King Allen Von Reinhart required the ’Sword of Promised Destinies’ at his side..."

"He needed to ascend as a ’True God,’ or restoring the ’Balance’ of the world proved utterly impossible..."

"And The ’Sword of Promised Destinies’ served as the ’Key’ to it all; it acted as the ’Key’ capable of mending the world’s balance by purging all miasma and decay entirely..."

King Allen and Astra rallied every race, forged the world alliance, and launched a millennium-spanning war!

All of it pursued one ultimate aim: wiping out the demon race completely!

Their core objective stayed fixed on obliterating the endless sea of miasma and reinstating the world’s ’balance’!

To achieve such an epic feat, the miasma demanded reduction to its feeblest state by nearly eradicating the demon race, then striking the origin—the sea of miasma—with a decisive assault!

That decisive ’Final Blow’ consisted solely of unleashing the legendary artifact ’Sword of Promised Destinies!’

"As I mentioned before, every element in the world ties back to the ’origin’ via strings of destiny..."

"These destiny strings generate vast, potent waves of fate, harvestable over time into a force known as ’Power of Origin.’ ..."

"The ’Sword of Promised Destinies’ channels this ’Power of Origin’ into a ’Wish’..."

By wielding the ’wish’ as a directive aligned with the ’world’s’ ’order,’ one can command a realignment of the world’s ’balance’!

"King Allen’s ’path’ and ’ambition’ centered on banishing the sea of miasma from the world, precisely what he willed upon seizing the ’true god’ power..."

"To forge the ’Sword of Promised Destinies,’ certain vital conditions must be met!"

"Every one of these conditions demands fulfillment; skipping even one dooms the entire effort!"

Having shared her personal tale and unveiled King Allen’s true objectives to Lia, Bela at last disclosed the authentic requirements for creating the ’Sword of Promised Destinies.’

Condition after condition she listed proved tougher than the last, leaving Lia stunned and disheartened.

"The backing of both heavens and world? Utter madness! Across the whole universe, solely King Allen ever held both simultaneously!"

"How could anyone possibly attain that!?"

"And the third condition even states that the ’soul’ of someone with the ’Ascended Soul’ ability must be offered up as a ’medium’ to forge this weapon!?"

Shock widened Lia’s eyes as she burst out,

"Doesn’t that mean I’d die if I craft this weapon!!? What the heck!? Hold on!... You made this weapon!... so doesn’t that mean-"

Questions swirled chaotically in Lia’s mind, yet Bela cut her off before she could finish her words.

"Yes! As I mentioned earlier... I requested King Allen to reshape this dungeon using his powers in return for my life..."

"I gave my life to forge the ’Key’ that would rescue the world! That is the purpose I was born for!"
