The presence introduces itself as the Ethers, which to you mortals are seen as deities or gods. We are tasked with protecting the world, but we cannot directly intervene in it. However, because this creature should not have been here, being a transcendent being, we had to intervene.
Alex, with bravery and determination, stepped forward and questioned the Ether about the nature of the Demon King, pointing out that it also posed a catastrophic threat to the world. Why not intervene with him as well?
The Ether, with its voice resonating like the echo of a thousand voices, responded solemnly. It acknowledged that the Demon King was an equally dangerous threat, capable of unleashing chaos and destruction on an unprecedented scale. However, it explained that its role was to safeguard the balance of the world and that, at times, the forces of evil were necessary to maintain that balance.
The heroes, however, did not accept this answer. Lyria, raising her voice with determination, added that many innocent people had died due to the inaction of the Ethers. She questioned why the existence of the Ethers had never been known if their duty was to protect the world. The injustice of their silence echoed in the air, challenging the authority of the divine beings before the three heroes determined to seek answers.
The Ether finally revealed that it intervened for this creature because it had escaped from celestial prison, representing an imminent danger to this world. This confession left the heroes even more perplexed, aware of the gravity of the situation they were in.
The Ether, with a voice that resonated like the echo of a thousand voices, made it clear that it would not answer any more questions from mere mortals. If the heroes wanted to stop the Demon King, they must head to the dwarves' home. With a flash of light that rose into the skies, the speed of the wind shook the lake, the trees, and Alex, Lyria, and Elren. It was time for the heroes to embark on their dangerous journey to the mountains in search of answers and a way to stop the Demon King before it was too late.
