As he looked at the true appearance of the monster, he trembled like a religious fanatic. "Oh, what evil is this?"

The beast was clouded in black smoke, just like the rest of the dead humans. However, the veil couldn't hide the massive tentacles that protruded from its body. It could hide the sheer size of the monster. Such height that reached the sky and such size that was greater than any giant that ever lived!

Looking at this veiled monster, Reve understood. 

'The feeling of familiarity. I understand it now. It's like I'm looking at my long-lost brother…...'

The monster was part of the most horrific creatures from the myths.

It was a titan!

Despite the black smoke, Reve could see that it was shaped like a bear with tentacles from its back filing around.

Facing this monster, the group of warriors he saw chanted their last battlecry and bravely ran at it.

Five seconds…..

All it took was five seconds. A single tentacle whipped horizontally in the air and sliced all the warriors. All types of ki-arts they showed proved futile as they were cut into two parts. They took their last breath instantly.

*Roar!*

A roar echoed through the village. It came from the titan and generated enough soundwaves to dismantle all the erect village houses.

Reve could feel that the roar carried a condescending tone. It was as if the titan lamented not being able to feast on worthy humans.

Like an apex predator, it calmly walked around the village and dwelled in the slaughter it had just caused. Just as it passed Reve, the latter lost his ability to breathe. He thought he was going to die just from the red stare of the titan.

However, it seemed the titan didn't notice him and simply went on.

It walked past Reve's illusory body and stopped in a small shed.

*Wen!* *Wen!* *Wen!*

It was then Reve noticed something he should have a long time ago.

The cries of young humans filled the air, originating from the exact shed that the titan headed at.

*Boom!*

With a single swipe, the door of the shed was torn apart mercilessly, revealing the group of young humans that clustered around in fear.

They screamed as they saw the large eye of the titan staring through the door. With the size of the titan, they couldn't see its full body and only its eyes that covered the shed's door.

Among the veiled children existed an anomaly!

Reve's shivered as he spotted a young boy of about seven years old without a black veil covering his facial appearance. The boy with milky skin kept quivering. Along with the rest, he fell to the ground as he couldn't withstand the aura from the titan.

Suddenly, the titan looked away. Its line of sight could be traced too far away. With a harsh grunt, it blitzed away from the village before what it senses could arrive.

For some reason, Reve couldn't help but stare at the young boy. Something about him attracted him. 

It was like the meeting of fate.

As he kept his eyes on the young boy, a solemn voice spoke to him from nowhere. 

"It was a moment of realization for me. A young village boy that loved to sift through the stars. A boy without dreams. Yet, in a single day, the jolly world of this boy was usurped."

"As I watched my parent die, I realized that power was all that mattered. It was the only thing that survived when others crumbled. It was the eternal truth!"

Reve's surroundings stopped. It was as if time has been put on stasis and the only things that were allowed to move were Reve and the young boy.

Reve sighed as he observed the crazy look that shouldn't be on a boy's face, 'Such a desire at a young age....'

He could see the veins popping on the boy's face as he trembled continuously in fear. The boy gritted his teeth and gripped his fist.

It was obvious what was going through the boy's mind. It was a desire for power. A desire to escape the cycle of helplessness.

As the flames of desire burned intensely in his eyes, finally, the boy moved and Reve's surroundings broke once more!

In less than a second, the bloody village disappeared and a landscape of green grass became his surrounding.

Reve nocked his head at the figure he saw.

It was a teenager meditating in the center of this grassland. He paid no attention to the wolves that kept looking at him or to the antelopes that ran wildly in the background.

With his eyes closed, his surrounding became void and the only thing that existed was his meditation!

In less than ten minutes, the surrounding switched again. Now the teenager was a young youth.

It changed again for the next cycle, showcasing an early adult as he moved around the world.

Reve became the spectator as he patiently watched all these scenes. Coupled with the unknown voice whispering to him, he was able to understand the meaning of each scene.

When the last scene arrived, Reve trembled as he realized something. The next moment, he was sent back to the real world.

He was back in the ship on Tempestas Sea. The shaking nature of his room assured him that this was not just another illusion.

However, Reve was not as happy as he had expected. He had just watched someone's life. No, he had received the full biography of a demigod...and it wasn't something he expected.

The owner of the memories recorded them prior to his death. His voice was groggy when he spoke, which made Reve understand that, to him, death was just around the corner.

Unfortunately, the demigod preferred not to disclose his name. He wanted to be left unknown in the history of Arcadia as he hadn't impacted his era at all.

Another thing to note was that the unknown demigod lived through the most tragic era; the era of sins.. Judging by the structure of his childhood home, Reve could trace the timeline to around the Fourth Annihilation War and Fifth Annihilation War.
