It was more than three hundred years ago prior to Haruto's arrival into this new world.

Inside a luxurious golden castle two men were currently having a conversation. One of them was a young handsome man who seem to be in his mid-twenties with long waist length blonde hair.

The man had an otherworldly aura about him; his eyes shone with golden light that seems to resonate with the heavenly ways. As though it was the birth of an entire universe, it carries a sense of wonder. He was the god of creation, the one responsible for creating all existing world's as well as most of the known species that exists throughout the universe.

Seated opposite to him was a handsome man with long waist length silky black hair and deep crimson eyes. He was the man known as the demon lord, Lucifer. Both men who possessed enough power to destroy worlds were currently making a tense expression on their faces.

"Are you really sure doing something like this will have a good end?"

Lucifer asked as he gazed deep into the golden eyes of the god of creation.

"... Whether this decision leads to a good end for me makes no difference, in the end there is no other option left."

The god of creation replied, his brow furrowed into a frown.

"Reincarnating your soul will definitely weaken you, won't it? There is also no telling what will happen to your incarnation, what if he ends up dying before achieving your goal won't it all end in failure?"

"Regardless it's as I already said, I have no other option left."

As Lucifer inquired about the likelihood of success, the god of creation responded bluntly to his inquiries.

He already knew the likelihood of success was low since the beginning, he knew that going through rebirth would weaken a great deal of his strength. However, with the current state of the universe he had no other choice.

The battle between the god of creation and the god of destruction had caused irreversible damage to the universe, even with his ability, it wasn't something he could repair so easily.

(If this plan succeeds then I should be able to undo all the damage left behind from the aftermath and... This will also be an atonement for breaking the promise I had made with her.)

As he thought of a certain pink-haired woman a sorrowful expression flashed a crossed his handsome face.

As a god who had embodied the heavenly principles, his emotions should be cold and indifferent, just like the laws of the universe. However, he had inadvertently fallen in love with a mortal, consequently affecting the heavenly laws that govern the universe.

However, the most troublesome thing is that the mortal woman had unknowingly bonded with the origin core, gaining the power to manipulate origin energy, or rather primordial energy, an energy even more ancient than the universe which has the potential to even kill God's. It's because of this why the gods all became wary of her existence as her presence itself became a calamity.

(If only... If only I had made it in time, if only I had been able to stop the god of destruction back then... Then maybe I could've...)

He sighed as he felt bitter regret from the bottom of his heart. Seeing him like that the demon lord, Lucifer kept an indifferent expression on his face as though he felt nothing about the current situation.

"In any case, the god of destruction will also go through rebirth too, won't he? Are you already prepared for his return, knowing that man he will naturally want revenge for what happened to him in the past."
