Following him through the gate, Second was surprised to know that Adam knew about space magic. But seeing him flying towards the upper atmosphere in hurry, she placed the girls on the ground and told her servant to guard them. After saying so, she too flew towards where he was.
After flying towards the upper atmosphere, Adam couldn't hold back anymore as the golden light that was covering him suddenly caught him in a egg shell like capsule. Feeling powerless against the process, he felt his consciousness loss.
After losing his consciousness, Adam's figure was swallowed by a golden shell which brightened the entire nighty clouds. Reaching his position, Second had close to a shocked expression as she exclaimed, "Wha..!? How is this possible..?! This is definitely divinity! How did he do that..? And what is with this purity..? This light is even making my skin burn and feel pain! What kind of monster is my Master..?"
After thinking for a while, her eyes showed a little disbelief as she asked herself, "Could it be... is he the one to fulfill the Prophecy...?"
As she was in deep thought, all over the world, it was different.

In the Royal Capita of Grania..
Seeing the blinding golden light illuminating the entire darkness, the king and some of the noble head's were trembling non stop even though there wasn't any pressure.
"What is that..!?"
"Even though we are so far away, I feel like I am being crushed!!!"
"SILENCE!!!" Silencing everyone, king of Grania, Rastus roared releasing his Magic King level Aura.
"From this phenomena, I am not feeling any I'll intentions towards our country. Even so, we have to make sure there are no enemies! So, I order the Second in command knight commander to lead a team and investigate!"
Obeying him, some people bowed and left the castle. But inside his mind, he was thinking something else.
'If I am right, this is happening near the Tomb of Claxcez. I am little worried about Ruby and Adam....'
'Wait, I remember there is a strong creature at the deepest part of the tomb. Is it that..? No! Even if Adam is strong and talented, there is no way he attracts something like that anyway.... Even so, please be careful....'

Inside Aragon Empire Imperial Castle..
"Is it that..? To think something of its caliber is released into the world! It seems I have to talk with other countries ignoring our differences..... Also, should I go and search for Adriel..? I am afraid she will be dragged into this madness."
The Emperor muttered in the lonely throne room...

In the Seaport Kingdom Brine...
On an Expensive and Luxurious looking ship, a man with perfect build and pointed moustache stared at the magnificent sky and said,
"The world is changing huh...."

Inside a Castle swallowed by the darkness, A figure looked at the Sky with curiosity and a little fear.
"To think the infamous Demon king is scared~~"
A teasing feminine voice attracted the attention of the mentioned person. Looking at this Woman with horns and crazy smile, the Demon King said,
"You say that, but aren't you affected by the same..?"
"You can say that... I would say, its on the same level as me. But... This fear I am feeling is definitely something I can't ignore!"
The demon king was shocked by this information. If there is another person with the same strength as this woman, then there will be war and destruction all over the world. The demon king sighed and returned her attention to the sky....

Inside a dense forest of another Continent...
A creature opened its eyes wide and analysed the phenomenon that's occurring.
"Something stronger is coming.... Stronger than me.... It seems the world is returning to the ancient times..."
After saying this to itself, it closed its eyes and returned to sleeping.

Inside the Royal Academy of Grania...
Amy and the girls were also looking at the mysterious phenomenon that occurred in the sky. But one of them was obviously shaken. It was the spirit queen, Celeste. Seeing their sister trembling slightly, Elbereth asked with visible concern,
"What's wrong Cel..? You seem affected by this.."
Nodding while still trembling, she responded, "This is something even I can't afford to offend. Its strength is too deep! I am afraid... I've never felt this scared before... The only time was during the ancient times....."
Hearing this, all of them were shocked. Celeste was a strong being whose strength surpassed that of the kings. But if she says she is afraid of something, that's something they felt terrified of.
"Ancient times..? What do you mean..?"
Sighing slightly, she explained about a story of an ancient battlefield. Battle of the Gods....

Inside another tomb....
"Hn..? Something at the same level as the 'First Guardian' was born onto this world..? Could it be them..?"

This was the same thoughts of some others. They were all, the beings present inside deep under the different tombs.

Back to where Adam was...
As the Second Guardian watched, her face was showing the concept of incredulity itself.
'I just explained him about the need for divinity a few moments ago. And now he's already acquired it..?! And what kind of divinity is this..?! Just who is Master..?'
Ignoring everything around itself, the unknown divinity seems to have a consciousness as it began pulsing waves of energy throughout the surroundings. The speed and number of pulses began to increase with next possible second. From other's perspective, it was like a shining golden egg pulsing with terrifying amount of energy of both known and unknown constitution.
As the Second Guardian was looking, the golden egg began to crack with the sound of glass breaking and the next moment, Adam with a whole new look was floating in the air. His eyes were closed.
But what perplexed was about his whole appearance and aura. His hair was transparent like a glass or diamond. His face was shining. His body was covered by a mysterious set of silver colored armour with a spiral symbol on his chest. His arm was protected by a pure silver looking metal gloves. He was wearing a silver metal lower armour as well. But the most important feature was the moving ring filled with mysterious energy. On its middle, there was endless darkness and infinite stars. Outside the ring, there was nine petals with sharp edges.
"A nine edged Godless Ring..!? No! In the first place, how did he just ignored a level and promote directly to a Demi God...!?"
The Second Gaurdian was obviously baffled by this display. Now it wondered if it was her mistake in her doubts about his relationship with the Prophecy!
Opening his eyes, it changed to that of a pure darkness from the previous purple colored eyes. He breathed in and out slowly. Then a prompt suddenly appeared in his eyes from Maya.
« Check your Status, Adam »
Without even him saying anything, the status interface appeared in his mind as he began to read them.

Even though he was experiencing it newly, Adam was shocked to see that he's becoming strong a bit too fast. Thus he asked.
'Hey Maya, how come I am this strong..? And is it even okay for me to get stronger so suddenly..?'
He was very curious about the answer. From the way others trained and strengthening themselves, he was too much of an anomaly.
« This is in your soul and body, Adam. No matter who, no one can say anything to you for that. It is your ability that helped you teach this level. So, I don't think it's a unfair development like you think so »
He nodded and asked again, 'I have maxed out once again..? And how come I have Chimera as a race..? Shouldn't I be able to transform in case they are my servant..?'
« That's not true in my opinion, Adam. I think, no matter who you contract with, servant or master, you can use their race permanently as long as you have contracted with them once. Also, during your contract with the Second Guardian, the Magic circle didn't allow her to become equal to you. It chose her to be your servant forcefully which resulted in your change. As for your doubts, yes you needed divinity to become a demi-god. But that became possible after your contract with the second guardian »
'So, I was able to acquire divinity thanka to her huh... But this doesn't seem to be related to her divinity.. well I can think about that later.' sighing lightly, Adam looked where The second guardian was floating. She was looking at him with an astounded expression. He floated towards her slowly with a guitly expression. But the tense atmosphere was lost as Adam hurriedly apologised while The second guardian exclaimed in unison.
"I am sorry!"
"How did you do it..!?"
They two looked at each other in confusion, before she asked,
"Huh? Why did you apologize..?"
Blinking with still a little guilty expression, he asked, "You were forced to be my servant. So I wanted to apologize! I am sorry! I will find a way to remove the contract!"
However denying him, she said, "No no. Forget about apologising! Tell me how you did it!"
Seeing how quickly she denied his apology, Adam nodded and explained about his ability to transform into another race. He also explained about his ability to use the corresponding energy.
"I see... That makes sense. But Master, Do you know that divinity is not an energy belonging to my specific race..?"
He nodded and she continued. "If so, how you are able to use divinity is not related to your ability at all."
He thought for a moment. 'That is one logical explanation. Indeed, divinity is not something I acquired due to my contract with her... That means, there is lot more to my body....haah...'
"Sorry Second. It seems even I do not know everything about myself..."
She nodded and asked,"Forget about it. We can find new clues in the future. For now, how about you stop calling me Second...? I am your servant after all."
Remembering the important issue, Adam asked, " Are you sure you want to be a servant..? I mean, you are strong and all..."
She smiled unlike her previous emotionless face and said, "There is no need to ask about that this late of a time Master. In fact I knew if I wanted a contract with you, I have to be the subservient one. Knowing this, I accepted it. So, this was my choice. So just think of me as your servant and name me!"
Her whole tone changed from emotionless and lazy to pushy and excited. Sighing softly, he nodded and asked her,
"Very well. Since it is your choice, I am not denying it. Let's see.. Can you tell me, how many guardians are sealed under the tombs..?"
"There are Four of us, Master."
After nodding once again, he said,
"Although we are equal in strength and level, in respect to your choice and dedication, I hereby name you, the Second Guardian, Beta!"
She kneeled on the empty air and said,
"I am eternally grateful for this wonderful name! From now on, I, the second guardian, Beta, will serve you, my master, with my whole soul and body!"
He could only smile wryly at her excited face as she clearly acting different from their first encounter....
