"Have you ever thought of having an incarnation?" That question echoed throughout the dim room. 

That is the same question. The very same question was asked to every member of this organization. "I have someone in mind," A crimson-haired man answered with a sly smirk. His eyes were glinting amusement at the screen, which shows the confrontation between the returnee and the otherworlder,

'Or was it a reincarnator?' The crimson-haired man just shrugged. 

"You're wasting your time, Guy," a single voice trailed. "Do you want our fun to get destroyed?" A formless, sublime substance that couldn't be seen through mortal eyes alone spoke language that anyone couldn't hear. Yet the crimson-haired man, or so-called 'Guy', just nodded and rested his chin on his palm. "Of course not."

"Then what are you waiting for? Don't tell me you're just going to act when the 'Destroyer of Worlds' will arrive," the unknown said. A single storm roared at the mention of the name. "By the looks of it, it's going to arrive... approximately after they kill the 'Disaster of Floods'."

"Isn't that too harsh for them? One disaster after another," Guy replied in a lazy voice. It would really be unforgiving to cause one problem after another. Guy smirked as he looked at the unknown. "You're quite harsh on yourself."

"Everything is fun just the way it is," the unknown trailed off a hum. "We don't have any problems with that now, do we?"

Guy's stare wandered at the unknown. Although it was all air and nothing, he was like looking at a face that no one can see. Then he snickered and looked at the screen, presenting a grand battle between a disaster and a future disaster.

"Agreed. I think Luminous might be acting soon... With her little paladin. Do you think the little monster can handle her now?" Guy inquired softly, knowing the topic was one of the biggest hits of their organization.

The unknown became silent for a while, before it started to disappear."Little monsters are dangerous, Guy... Especially when it's a slime."

Then, it disappeared. The unknown was nothing, yet it became more nothing when it disappeared. Which is actually complex. Guy didn't bother to ponder on why and how. He knew beings like that aren't fit to be questioned.

"A slime, huh?... Can this little existence be even worth questioning?" Guy finally pondered. How did a slime reincarnate as a human? How did it possess a power that rival, or even overwhelm the power of their average members?

But more importantly... Why does the little monster remind him of the bigger one?

"I guess I have to watch more... Things has just become more exciting."

Guy smiled and looked at the stream of light—countless of beings and worlds. Suddenly, the dim room was shook by an impact.

"Hmm?.. What could it be?"

Two maids appeared and kneeled in front of him. One with a short, dark blue hair and the other with a long, curly, green hair.

"Sorry for the inconvenience, Sir Guy. We just stumbled upon a crazy naked man with a big sword," Mezri, the green-haired reported.

"What big sword, Mezri?" Guy asked in a playful way. To which Mezri responded. "A literal sword, Sir Guy... A literal threat to Gods and Goddesses."

"Now that's amusing..."

"Moreover, I heard him saying the word 'stab' a couple of times. I think he focuses more on stabbing opponents as his main skill," Rain, the blue haired maid, continued their report. "He must've been a serial killer in his past life."
