"Everything?"
"Yes. Go and see for yourself."
"So? You're leaving later?"
"Yes. But, we're actually leaving now."
"…"
"Oi. Let's go, Satoshi."
"Y-yeah. Takao-san. Come with us outside."
"Okay."
They then proceeded outside the mansion and arrived at an open space.
"So? How are you gonna leave the earth?"
"Let me explain something first."
"Listening."
"Mm. Uhh… You know. There are many legends and myths in the world, right?"
"So?"
"What if I told you that those are true."
"Then?"
"Ugh, you're ruining it. Well. Those things are real and still kicking. But they're no longer here anymore on earth. They more of… Moved to other planets."
"What do you mean?"
"Uh... Genji. Could you please leave us first."
"…"
"Alright... At the beginning of time. Earth is the only planet inhabited by all beings of creation. But then, at some point in time, they all moved to other planets across the universe."
"Why is that?"
"Millions of years ago even before the apes evolved as the humans you know now. There was once a powerful King ruling over the whole world. He's so powerful that even gods of "mythologies" as you call now is no match for him. But there are beings more powerful than him. One of them is the creator himself. Which is me."
"You?"
"Uhh… I got bored ruling over heaven. Though it's a happy place. I just wanna have fun."
"Is that the same place the people of my other world go to when they die?"
"Yes."
"… Then. Tell me. Beings? There is one more then."
"You met him. Don't you?"
"… Special being..."
"Yes. I am one of them."
"Tell me more about this."
"Special beings. We are but direct copies of him in this universe. We're being put here to fulfill roles and have adventures of our own. That's the special beings. Us. Those who harbor immense power to achieve our goals. He mentioned two books. Right?"
"Yes."
"Though we are both copies of him. We don't really know much about him. I met him when he created me as the God of heaven and thus I created the whole universe for him. But then. I don't know what those books are for. But I am sure is that our stories are contained within it and we had to reach the end. That's all I know for now."
"Is he. Evil?"
"All I know is. He's neither good nor evil. Alright. Back to the topic about the earth. About the King. When the world is in chaos. There were wars everywhere. Others couldn't get along with other races. There was diversity. The weak were oppressed and the strong got to do everything. So the King created a way to have peace. He sacrificed himself to create these."
A portal then appeared.
"For what is that?"
"A world portal. This is what that King had sacrificed himself for. For these things to be created. He released his magic across the universe when he died. Thus creating these. These things let anyone drift through the open space in their spirit form to travel in between planets or galaxies much, much faster than light."
"Oh… Interesting."
"Then. Elves came with elves, demons came with demons. And war is not that frequent anymore as at that time. There are also humans. But you humans on earth are different. Oh. The asteroid that hit the earth killing all dinosaurs is done to erase the trace of old civilization in this world."
"So, dinosaurs existed?"
"Of course. But they are called monsters at that time. And the magic all around us is infinite. This is the magic that that King had sacrificed himself for when he died. Certain races who lived in the same world as him before have been able to wield this immense power of his which is now called magic. And a reincarnation of him is currently living."
"Really?"
"Yes. And it's you."
"What?"
"Yes. Hence why you possessed magic within yourself and that's what makes you a special being. That's why you became stronger over time because you regain your lost power."
"My question. Where are the others?"
"They may arrive in the future I guess."
"I see. So? The mutants in this world who could use this magic are connected to him?"
"No. They are just connected to the races who lived with him before. They simply awoke that power hidden within their bloodline."
"I see."
"Well. I guess I had explained many things now. I had a task for you please."
"What is it?"
"Please look after this world. This world is the nexus of the universe. If this world is destroyed by humans themselves or outside threat. The universe will be greatly damaged. Not just the flow of magic. But many other things."
"Can't you do it yourself?"
"I can't. I have many things to do too."
"Fine."
"Then. Another gift."
Satoshi gave Takao a device.
"World Guardians. That is our group. Nobody knows anything I said before about this world and the King. Just the two of us. Please Takao-san. I entrust this world to you. As the King. Protect it. The same as our group does to protect the other worlds. This device connects you to us. You could talk to me with this too. You're one of us now. The 21st guardian. I am the 19th though."
"Hey. I did not say yes yet."
"But I gave you ten billion yen."
"Are you bribing me?"
"Haha. No. I am serious. You must protect this world. Please."
"Alright. I hope protecting this corrupted world will not be a pain."
"I am pretty sure you'll manage."
"One last thing. How did you know about those things if you said all evidence of them is erased?"
"I am the creator."
"Fuck it. Fine."
"Go ahead, King. Oh. This is the thing we recovered from this world. Make sure non of these will fall at the hands of them anymore. As even one of these could kill an entire planet."
"What is that?"
At Satoshi's palm appeared a scepter with an exquisite design.
"This is Apollo's scepter. A Deus ex Machina. I'll explain how dangerous this thing is. This grants the wielder total control over a nearby star. Meaning you could channel a cosmic beam to cut this world in half."
"Pretty dangerous huh? But apollo wields a bow."
"Yeah… There is but… Well. This is goodbye."
A ring then appeared on Satoshi's ring finger.
"Erase!"
"What did you do?"
"Mnemosyne's ring. It could alter or erase memories of any living being except other holders of a Deux ex Machina. A rule for all items."
"I see. Then? For what did you erase the memories?"
"I altered memories of everyone that knows the three of us. But it's just memories. Their digital recording and footages are not affected. That is why I told you to lay low. Don't worry I only altered the memories of authorities."
"Fine."
"Farewell then. We'll meet again."
"Mm."
"Genji!"
And then they proceeded to the portal and left.
