"Oh, you may have misrecognized me! Zarcon is my grandfather, I am Zax!"
"HAHAHA! I should be grateful for this accidental encounter. Who would have thought that I managed to find you guys in the Outer Ring."
"Your grandfather used to be one of our troops, why did you betray him!"
"Oh General.. sorry I should have called you directly … SIDIUS!"
"You can't judge me like that, all I do is just to survive!"
"When you disappeared and King Chrysus lost, all of us affiliated with Gold Starian were hunted down. My grandfather and my father formed a resistance army, but they were stupid! They don't see the big picture!
"The power has shifted! The Purple Starian is the new ruler!"
"And Fortunately, the Purple Starian gave me a chance to live. What I did was just hand over the information on the whereabouts of the other members."
"Bastard! You betrayed your family as Insignias!"
"Oh! I'm not Insignias, I gave up my father's insignias! Even though I can't contract with Star Beasts anymore, the Purple Starian gave me a chance as a half Starian with a star soul."
"You stupid! You chose to be a slave rather than live freely!"
"YES! That's right! It was a stupid decision! But who would have thought, now that I get a chance to pay them back!"
"Hah! What do you mean!"
"HAHAHA Sidius, right now you don't have to worry. I won't report your whereabouts, I need you for bigger things! HAHA HA!"
Then Zax left the room leaving Sidus and Stella tied up.
"Sidius, you know him?"
"No, but I know his Grandfather. His grandfather was an insignia under our command."
"As we suspected earlier, it looks like Zax acted alone. He didn't report our whereabouts."
"I don't know, I feel something fishy!"
"Stella, can you detect their whereabouts?"
"No, the existence of this black pearl resists my power. I wish them well."
…
In a purple castle, there was a person in a purple robe busy at his desk.
"Lord Mergen, we have a report." Someone came in with a communication cube.
"What kind of report made you rush like that?"
"We got a communication from Folux."
"Fox? Quickly bring the cube here!"
The cube is handed over and placed on the table. Then from the cube appeared a hologram of Folux.
"Folux, what happened to you? Why do you look so messy?" Mergen asked.
"There have been several accidents, luckily this body survived."
"Good, how was the experiment?"
"The experiment went well, there were some flaws and more research is needed."
"Good, how is your situation? Is Zax suspicious?"
"The situation is still safe, Zax is not suspicious of me."
"Lord Mergen, I have a more important report with me. I have found them."
"they? Who do you mean?"
"Sidius and Stella."
"Hah? You managed to find them! Good, give me your coordinates."
"Well." Then Folux sends its coordinate location through the cube.
Mergen accepted the coordinates with a sinister smile on his face.
"Folux, why didn't Zax give this report?"
"Looks like Zax has plans of his own, he asked his aides not to report."
"Son of a bitch!" Mergen said very angrily while hitting the table.
"Folux, you keep an eye on Zax and report any other findings."
"OK."
Zzzt, Then the line of communication ended.
"HA HAHA! After such a long time, you guys have finally been caught!"
"You, call Arith right away," Mergen ordered the men who brought the report.
It wasn't long before a purple starian woman entered Mergen's study.
"Lord Mergen, you summoned me?"
"Arith, I have found your prey!" Mergen threw the chip containing the newly acquired information in front of Arith.
"They are in the Outer Ring. Bring some people and use the portal to the closest domain to that location."
"Remember! Don't fail again!"
"Well!" Arith took the chip.
"Lord Mergen, what should be done with Zax?"
"Do whatever you want!"
"OK."
Then Arith walked out of the room, clutching the piece of information with a serious face.
…
"Hey, how long are you going to sleep for?"
Astrum slowly opened his eyes, he looked around and realized that he was in an unfamiliar place.
The room was large and empty, he saw in front of him there was a large shadow standing in front of him. The shadows were enormous, at least over 8 meters tall.
"Who are you? Where am I?"
"Is this how your race's form of respect towards saviors?" The black shadow spoke.
"Ha? savior? What happened?"
"Ah! That's enough! Do you remember what happened?"
Astrum was still confused by the current situation, he pondered for a moment to remember the previous incident.
"I am Tiluk and that symbol is from me," Tiluk spoke while pointing at Astrum's chest.
Astrum looked at his chest and realized that the symbol in question was the symbol of Beast Baptism.
"You are of the Ancient Beastros race?"
After realizing this, Astrum immediately bowed and gave a polite greeting.
"Thanks to the ancestor who helped me."
Astrum was well aware, he was able to survive because of beast baptism.
"Ah! You can be polite!"
"Ancestor, where is this?"
"This is in your consciousness"
"Hah? Why is my consciousness space like this?"
"It's a deeper level of your consciousness."
"Ancestor, what happened? Why am I here?"
"You're lucky, you almost died earlier, your energy was almost completely burnt out."
"To be honest, I also don't know how you got my inheritance. I left a legacy to the Beastros generation, but after a long time, no one managed to open the inheritance. But now, the other races who get it, maybe this is the fate of the Beastros race."
"Those two friends of yours also obtained a part of my inheritance, but unfortunately their understanding is very weak."
"Your friend is currently trying to recover your energy and it seems that your recovery is quite fast. I called you here to talk."
"Boy, you remember everything? Well, it wasn't a dream. All that has happened, your parents have died."
Astrum was silent, remembering the events before he went berserk. He remembers his parents being killed right in front of him.
"Fortunately, I shared awareness when you were on a rampage."
"Boy, you know what it means to be worthy as an Insignias?"
"Strength?"
"HA HAHA! Does mere strength mean worthy?"
Astrum fell silent, unable to answer.
"We Beastros race uses the law of the jungle where only the strong can live. We used to live like that, but as we evolved, we realized that mere strength was not enough."
"When we got the blessing from the stars, we realized something. That power isn't the only thing, being Insignias; the Worthy will be tested for entire life."
"One of them is control, what do you think will happen when a great power goes out of control?"
"Your parents were killed right in front of you, you have every right to be angry, but you still have to have control over it. Otherwise, you become unworthy!"
"I called you to speak not just for this. Since you've inherited my power, it's best if you don't die."
"There is an important task for you."
"Task?"
"When you get this inheritance, it means I no longer exist. Right now, I am only part of the consciousness left in the legacy. In the past, we prepared our legacy of knowledge before we set out on a mission. These inheritances will only activate when we die."
"What does the ancestor mean is the Beast Altar?"
"That's right, it is one of our relics. The altars are the form of testing so that future generations who pass can inherit our powers. But You are a strange thing because you got my inheritance, not through the Altar."
"Ancestor, what happened 1 million years ago?"
"To be honest, I also didn't know what mission I was on until I died. Because this legacy was made long before I carried out the mission. Therefore, there is a task for you to do. Find my Star Beast."
"How is the ancestral Star Beast still alive?"
"Boy, we Beastros can only contract with one Star Beast. Our contract is different from other races, our contract is known as Union. When we reached a high level, our consciousness fused with the Star Beast. Right now, I can feel that my Star Beast is alive and returning to its original form."
"How do I know the Star Beast belongs to the ancestor?"
"You'll find out later."
"Before that, you have to increase your strength first. Your opponent is weak but you are very weak, even with my help, you can't face it yet."
"You mean Zax?"
"A weak creature like that is not worthy of being my opponent. In our past, they were just ants!"
"Use this."
The shadow pointed its finger at Astrum's forehead, and light flowed from Astrum's forehead and enveloped the entire body.
"Now it's time for you to wake up!"
"Wait!.."
"What else?"
"Ancestor, how do I find all the Beast Altars?"
"You want to get our entire inheritance? I am afraid that you not strong enough, those inheritances were made for the Beastros race."
"But.. Maybe this is also your destiny, you will find out where all the altars are when you go to planet Gleas."
"Now wake up!"
