Xabat also remembered Xachary's threats toward James before his escape. She began to question the identity of the shadowy figure.
At that moment, a humming sound resounded and the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell slowly floated over.
Soon after, the figure of the Demonic Spirit's remnant soul materialized on the bell's surface. Its grin was twisted and menacing, emitting bloodcurdling screams and roars. Its appearance exuded a palpable aura of violence.

Witnessing the sight before her, Xabat's expression changed drastically. She immediately exclaimed, "Morgott! That's what Morgott looks like!" James smirked, saying, "It seems you know him. Then, what sets him apart from the one you saved just now?" Xabat was dumbfounded by his question. The Demonic Spirit confined within the Yuraceon Genesis Bell had the spurplish-red aura as the shadowy figure she had saved.
It dawned on her that her intervention earlier had inadvertently aided Morgott's spirit. Her convictions shattered before her eyes. She had always seen it as her sacred duty to vanquish demons, convinced that her actions were righteous and her faith in Tai Chi was unwavering. But now, faced with undeniable evidence, she was forced to confront the harsh reality.
Questions raced through her mind. If the Demonic Spirit was sealed throughout Zymurgy, how had they appeared in the Genesis Worlds? It was impossible that Tai Chi was unaware of their presence.
Observing Xabat's stunned expression, James understood that her faith was shaken, and the foundation of her lifelong devotion had crumbled.
James sighed softly, and said, "I know it's a lot to process. I'll send you to a quiet space to think about everything." A black light emerged, surrounded Xabat, and teleported her into James' space.
James rolled his eyes and said, "That's enough. Cut it out." Upon hearing this, the grotesque Demonic Spirit vanished from the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell's surface.
Immediately afterward, Lesia appeared.

James frowned and questioned, "You did that on purpose. Why did you let the Demonic Spirit escape?" Lesia murmured innocently, "You shouldn't blatantly accuse others, Master. Why would | deliberately let him go?" James stated calmly, "With your strength, it's unlikely for you to be overpowered by just one attack from Xabat.
I'm sure you had your reasons." Lesia chuckled, “It seems | can't hide anything from you anymore. Your discernment is becoming sharper by the day." After speaking, she transformed into a young girl and flew over to James, perching on his shoulder.
James reprimanded, "Don't take advantage of my benevolence. | need a proper explanation." Lesia's feet swayed back and forth as she murmured, "We needed a scapegoat. Look at how much chaos had been stirred up. Even if Tai Chi isn't in the Thirty-Third Heaven, we need a plausible rationale." James furrowed his brows, asking, "Are you suggesting we bleverything on the Demonic Spirit?" Lesia replied calmly, "Not the Demonic Spirt. It's Xachary. When he escaped, | placed a tracker on him, allowingto monitor him. If he returns to the Timaeus Sect with his Demonic Body and resumes leadership of the Righteous Alliance, then it would work to our benefit." James further inquired, "But what if he heads straight for Zymurgy?
