*Huh?! Are you talking about the same girl who recently appeared? But how is it possible that she is also one of your generals?* Alvine exclaimed in disbelief.

'It's not that I didn't notice that this guy pretended to be me from the beginning, as Shadow has its beginnings, but he is strangely more convincing than him. But if he's really the same person as me, I'd not have the slightest excuse to justify the actions that he actually committed. Ugh, I already feel mentally exhausted just thinking about it.' He said to himself, momentarily forgetting that the ring's spirit was constantly connected to his thoughts.

**This is not the time to have such insignificant thoughts. You talk about responsibility when you have not even attended the worst.**

"Gah! Because there is even worse than the case of these bastards who hurry to me and my loved ones?"

**Kukuh, I used to say that ignorance is a luxe, but I would never have thought one day that this theory would apply to me one day.**

'No, that's my slogan, not your- sigh, I had forgotten that you identify like me. But I'm still not convinced; I am not convinced that my soul can be so fragmented while the other is more powerful than me. Are you insinuating that I am a clone?'

**Calm down, you're not one; it's rather me who's a clone; it's just that I have memories of our past that you don't have. Finally, this is not the time to explain this, don't rush; I don't intend to convince you with words, but with facts without omitting a single detail.**

He explained himself by seeing Alvine become more and more confused.

*... All right, that's the answer I've been waiting for the most.* He responded in a dull voice and focused on the current stage.

After the appearance of the gigantic door, the place's temperature became worse than the inside of a blacksmith's or alchemist's oven.

**Do you know what ranks the race of primordial demons among the most powerful races in the universe?**

*...I don't know, but from what you just told me and my observations on Heepha, I would say that it is their mastery of the flames.* Alvine responds by gradually getting used to the mysterious questions of his interlocutor.

**It's true, but only half. In your opinion, what is the important thing for an alchemist and a blacksmith?**

"...Materials, ingredients, and an oven to forge or to create elixirs."

**You now answer my questions without taking them into account.**

"It's because I don't feel like you're considering my answers. Finally, if there is one thing more important than the ones I just mentioned, I would say the fire--

**Exactly, fire is the most important. The more a blacksmith or alchemist masters a more powerful flame, the more he can forge high-ranking artifacts or weapons. It's the same for alchemists. Arriving at a level, a blacksmith or alchemist will not need an oven to control the intensity of his flames nor a hammer to hammer.

-Hus brute force in his muscles can replace his hammers, and his control over his flames can help him do without an oven. And these primordial demons have these two assets. That's why no other race competes with them regarding forging weapons or artifacts. But their powers are not limited only to their **

"Does that mean that they were the ones who forged Kimiko?"

At the same time, the corpse of the twins began to float, followed by the opening of the two black doors with strange runes on them.

And without notice, the door sucks the two corpses inside and closes slowly.

Seeing this, the spirit of the ring followed both without the slightest hesitation.

But as soon as the doors closed behind them, Alvine also found himself inside, on lands constantly in thermal and volcanic fusion.

But this was not the only notable detail; he also noticed a vicious smile on the lips of the only person present with him.

Seeing his smile, Alvine remembered the pretending event that made him smile like that.

And looking before him, not surprisingly, Alvine noticed entities with blazed hair, such as Heepha, riding dogs resembling Cerberus.

Looking at them, he could swear that these beasts were not illusions but real.

-GRRR!

"What are you doing on our land? And why are you trying to influence the dead?" The creature that seemed to be their leader asked for the spirit of the ring.

Even if Alvine was convinced they did not speak the same language as him, he still managed to understand them.

'Surely, thanks to the unreasonable powers of this guy.' He said to himself, taking a quick look at the ring's spirit next to him.

But contrary to his expectations, the spirit of the ring nonchalantly shakes the hand, followed by the beheading of the enemy leaders.

"Huh?! W-Why?!"

**By curiosity, at that time, I had let myself be guided by my excitement and curiosity to know how much this new species, resembling high ogres but nevertheless different, had in the belly. And my only way to communicate was with my powers.**

"?? You still don't have--!

Before Alvine finished his sentence, the thing he feared the most ended up arriving.

Seeing their leader beheaded at once and his soul floating above his corps, the others did not need to wonder if the new intruder was an enemy or an ultimate threat.

-Boom!!

They began to attack him with their weapons and all the assets they had at their disposal. Still, after their megaton explosions, Alvine sighed in disbelief when he saw the spirit of the ring intact without even having to erect a shield around him.

**Unfortunately, it was a disappointment.**

As his voice roared in Alvine's mind, the dark area manifested again, followed by total annihilation.

And unlike the first victim of the spirit of the ring, the others did not have the chance to escape death in spiritual form.

**I already guessed the questions you intend to ask me. But the reason is this place is a little special. It can make souls appear in their spiritual forms. And to prevent other problems, I found that it is better to shave the problem at its source.**

*...Why you--*

**I only kill for pleasure; it's the only entertainment that allows me to chase away boredom.**

*...*

**You remember when I said that this species uses souls to strengthen their powers, don't you?**

"Um."

**But by the way, you didn't quite understand what I meant by that.**

"...How can you be so sure?"

**If you had understood me, you would not have been surprised to see this primordial demon escape from his body before his death to preserve his life. Primordial demons are those who most use the power of the soul. They absorb them to strengthen their spiritual powers; they can even kill their enemies with a simple glance. But they not only absorb them, but they also use souls to accomplish other exploits.**

"...Like?"

**You, therefore, asked me if Kimiko was forged here, right? Well, to be clear, weapon Kimiko houses many primordial demon souls that merge into one primordial demon soul.**

"..!"

**You will have understood this species uses souls to not only strengthen their powers but also to create the most powerful artifacts and weapons beyond the primordial ranks.**

"...Wait, the system had told me that you and Kimiko were primordial artifacts," Alvine replied skeptically.

**Do you believe that a vulgar bug created by a primordial being who did not even know transcendent beings will be able to identify artifacts I had created?**

"...Suppose it's the truth, so how did you create these artifacts? And how did you find yourself inside one of them?" Even if he didn't have strong arguments to refute the claims of the spirit of the ring, Alvine was still not convinced by the words of the ring.

**I don't need to convince you; take a closer look.**

As he spoke these words, the body he occupied suddenly teleports over a palace entirely bathed in flames.

But this was not the surprising factor for Alvine, but the appearance of a girl with long fiery red hair with two long horns slightly curved backward on her temples.

She had a halo of flame above her horns and white hands, giving off arctic coldness.

'H-Heepha?'

**I am surprised you have identified her even in her current form.**

'It is obvious she is the only one, to my knowledge, to possess such contradictory flames. But why doesn't she attack you like the others?' Alvine asked, frowning.

**Don't be so hasty, and don't just focus on her; enemies don't only attack from the front.**

Upon hearing his words, Alvine focused not on Heepha but around him, extending his perception.

-!!

The next moment, his expression wavered slightly in disbelief when he noticed his interlocutor had seen right.

A foggy green dome, like the one Heepha had shown when she faced the members of the order, had imprisoned them with her and her subordinates.

**Her decision was irrevocable; she didn't want to chase me but to kill me. That's why she had erected this dome around us to prevent us from escaping.**

At the same time, Heepha's flames engulfed her men, and her power became explosive, giving Alvine the impression of being in front of the very origin of the flames.

'...I now understand why she holds the title of Queen of Flames. But did she just kill her men?'

**Kukukh, not quite; she just absorbed their souls to borrow their powers momentarily. She can revive them whenever she wants and without side effects.**

*-! They are intriguing and also too cheated, these primordial demons.*

**It's true; it was this curiosity that led me to them at that time.**

As he answered Alvine, his silhouette and that of Heepha suddenly vanished in front of him as the two Titans began their battles on a large scale.

'Sigh, I'm beginning to understand why everyone seemed to hate me; this bastard had done nothing but create problems for me on a large scale. But what's the interest of making enemies if it's to vanish and leave the annoying task to other people?!

-Until then, I thought it was Shadow the most problematic, but not to mention those twins he is currently trying to resurrect, obsessed with killing everyone who enters their collimators; he remains by far the most problematic.
