"Teacher?" Behind him, a man suddenly called out to him. Turning around, he saw three men. "Shem, Ham, Japheth. You all are here."
"Why do you wish to see us?" the man leading the three asked. "My time has come, Shem. Therefore, I cannot accompany the people of God any longer." Noah said to them.
"What?!" The three exclaimed in horror. "What would we do without you, Teacher?" The man on the left asked with worry.
"Carry my lineage." Noah commanded them, "Ham, you three shall carry out God's will and legacy to His people. The three of you shall become their fathers and forefathers."
"We will go back, and there, I shall give you my blessing, and together with it, my authority. The people of God shalt see you all as the inheritors of my lineage, the men that would carry my responsibility. Doing so, peace would remain as I leave."
"Do you really need to go?" The last one, Japheth, asked in melancholy.
Noah, in turn, answered his question in a simple way that directly showed his stance, "It is my will."
The four talked for a while longer before they went back to the city. When Noah announced his plan to leave, everyone became anguished, yet Noah insisted that they do not feel that way. "For the people of God has been given the ability to survive. You have no need to feed nor drink, for all does not hunger nor thirst. You have already been given the grace of God; The grace of Paradise. God says unto all of you to be fruitful and multiply. Earth is now a haven of life. I can now have my rest."
After telling them so, Noah then introduced his three disciples. They were included with the kids that he rescued from the Town of Gehenna and lived as his helpers for quite a long time, therefore picking up some of his habits and skills. He explained that because the old leaders have died, these three has the best ability of leading the people.
Although the people still couldn't help but feel sad, they understood that Noah had been through a lot. Every person needs some rest sometimes. Therefore, everyone bid their goodbyes to Noah one last time. When Noah left, the Ark vanished together with him. No one even questioned its disappearance and only wished that it would safe.
After that brief grievance, the three disciples then kickstarted the plans to rejuvenate life on Earth and expand the dominions once more. They soon agreed on building a great number of cities all over the world, with Shem going to the east, Ham taking the south, and Japheth leading the expansion to the west.
While this was happening, in an island most distant to any great landmass, there stood a great tower unseen by all outside its parameters. Surrounding it was an intangible dome that seemed to have protected the place from the devastation outside seeing that several people were still there, walking and minding their own lives without a care to the outside world.
Walking towards the tower was Methuselah's group, together with their new recruit, Elric Garenson. As they strode, the other people bowed towards Methuselah, which made Elric think that he really is somewhat of a huge figure here. Still, he was feeling apprehensive and wary towards the man, considering that he knew his secret.
He was not from here. He was part of another timeline, that of the future's. Back in his timeline, he was just a curious teenager that wanted to try something new and mysterious, so he dabbled in the occult. In an unlucky turn of events, he did something that seemed to have killed him.
However, he soon woke up as a baby and realized that he had regressed to an older age. Considering the way of life he saw, he assumed that he was sent in a rural village in the Early Middle Ages. Later on, discovering the existence of mysterious beings, he then came into the conclusion that he transmigrated, which was the dream of all weebs.
As he figured out more, he soon learned that he was born to a master of a lowly family that had only started out in building their household. Unfortunately, his father died, which made him be crowned as the second patriarch of the house.
While his father was alive, he learnt a lot of things from him. He learnt that this world was ruled by a multitude of god-like beings, suppressing humanity to the position of a slave. As a human that lived in the modern age where people are free to do whatever they want as long as it helps the entire society, Elric cannot accept that.
He soon learned that there was a humanity-centered hidden organization, The Knights Templar, that was created to save humanity from the evil snarls of the beast. Of course, he joined, with one of the reasons being wanting to know the founder, thinking that he might also be a transmigrator due to the familiar name that he gave the organization.
By using the connections within, coupled with his knowledge from the future, he soon established his family to become one of the organizations greatest financial backers, utilizing capitalist methods to dominate the market. Fortunately for him, the demons cared less about money since they could just steal from others, so he wasn't really hunted that much. Instead, his methods of trampling on the businesses of other humans and demons were admired by them.
Years after joining the organization, he soon met his target. He was shocked, truly. At first, the House of Adam had triggered something from his past— or future— that shook him. He soon learned the name of the current patriarch; Lamech. Once again, he was shocked, but he thought of it as just a coincidence.
But when he met the patriarch's son, which was called The Servant of God, he became sure of one thing; he was not transmigrated, he was regressed to the Antediluvian Period, or rather, another version of it!
