Finn asked, "How will I recognize the items or properties of god?"
"The easiest way will be to check if a sign of his symbol is there." The center of Haru's spirit body warped, forming a circle with symbols within, "Before I was sealed, this is the symbol he used, just find something related to it."
"I see, that sounds straightforward." Finn added, "Thanks for all you've given and told me. The material you gave me too will indeed be helpful."
Since they couldn't find something that would be precisely useful for him, Haru gave Finn highly valued materials hoping he'll be able to find something to create a weapon that suits him after he has gained more knowledge about his abilities.
Haru smiled weakly, "Young Lord, you don't need to thank us so much. On the surface, we're ultimately giving you this because we need something from you."
'How humble…' Finn thought.
"Also, I would like to inform you that the language you're speaking with us shouldn't be understood by those outside. The three of us here have our way of understanding, I don't believe it'd be the same outside. It may also reveal your origin." Haru said.
"Is that so…" Finn had believed the status helped, but he was wrong. He needed a way to solve this on time.
They reached the hall in a short time, and Haru went closer to the barrier, slightly gaining more strength from his main body.
Now prepared to leave, Finn waved, "Bye bye, guys. See you again!"
Cora relied, "Definitely! Go get stronger, my friend!"
"Yes, we hope you tell us about your adventures some day, it would be a beautiful gift for us who have been wallowing in boredom." Lily added.
'Hmm, friends…' This was the first time in two lives he has been considered that. In his previous life, it was like Finn was a repellant. No one approached him for their respective reasons.
'Can't be genuine right now..."
At this point, Finn was more cautious and wouldn't believe their words just like that.
Although, Finn didn't believe these people were dangerous to him. In a spirit body form, ones feelings can be let out easily, and Haru was in that state. His control over his spirit body was impeccable, but there were slight moments where Finn could sense his genuine emotions.
Finn responded enthusiastically, "Alright! Await my return." He then went towards the exit.
"Bye, Finn!"
"Good bye."
"Take care, Young Lord."
The sealed trio said their goodbyes as they watched Finn leave the hall.
Haru returned back into his spirit body at the other side of the barrier.
At this side, the halls were the same, the floors and walls were of the same blue-crystal material. The only difference was that there was a long table here.
The two long sides of the table each had three high back chairs each, while the two ends of the table lacked chairs.
In the surrounding of this table were bodies that had been destroyed long ago but were yet to show much signs of time.
Two figures sat at one side of the table, while at the other side, one sat.
They were all in their human-shaped spirit body, but it wasn't profound because their strength wasn't enough to take their full shape.
"Lily, he took your old weapon-well, it's sealed, but you used it when you were young. What impression does he give you?" Cora asked, extremely interested.
"I don't know… But, if he doesn't die early on, he'll become strong." Lily responded, but seeing Cora was still interested, she added, "He has the world's gift. By the time he releases us, he might be an equal to us in our prime… or stronger."
"Yes! I agree with you. I'd like to fight him then." Cora acknowledged.
On the featureless face of Lily, a smile formed, "Ahh… I can't wait to meet him then."
"Perverts." Haru said nonchalantly.
"What?" Cora blurted out, but Haru ignored her.
"Heh, Haru, you were way nice to him," Cora began teasing, "it's definitely not only because he's a carrier of a god's remains… Is it because he's from the same world as you? Tell me, Mr. Hero"
Haru sighed in response, leaving the two ladies to laugh and chuckle.

Finn was capable of influencing the outer barrier to a minimal extent now with his false identity.
As Finn made his way out of the big barrier, he recalled all his new gains.
A Rune Gift and an extra Rune Stone. The inventory and enchanted outfits. A rare material and a Gauntlet. Knowledge about the Echo of God skill and its primary use.
Finn organized his thoughts to know his way forward.
He needed to revive the god through the skill within him, and the most straightforward way is to free the trio and let them do the main job. For this, the current way forward is to look for how to free them.
He would also need to obtain vessels for them and himself.
All in all, Finn planned to do this at his own pace, while enjoying himself. His current destination was society.
The sealed trio lacked anything about the world; they believed the world had definitely changed over the course of 200+ years. Apparently, that was something the god that sealed them would cause.
Finn didn't know what path would lead to society, but he knew it wasn't west. The sea seemed to stretch too far and Finn wasn't interested in seeing how far it went.
For now, Finn decided to go south of this forest hoping to find something. Before that though, Finn had something to do in this forest packed with monsters.
He needed to test out his new Rune Gift ability while he had this chance, and also needed to try his water magic in a battle.
He didn't need to think much about which monster he'd fight. With his current strength, the monsters he met back when he was in the White Fenrir's body wouldn't be hard to fight now.
He believed the best targets were one of the three rulers of the forest. They were the ones he believed that if he fought them, the battle experience would be worth it.
Another reason he was aiming for the rulers was because two of these monsters did him dirty. They caused his death and led him to gain more power, and this was his way of saying thank you.
When someone interfered with his freedom, Finn hated it the most.
"I hope Mr. Spider is still alive." Finn thought as he stepped on the land of the Luminescent Forest.
