"Ragnarok?"

Siva looked at her, surprised, and nodded.

He bent down slightly, his voice low to avoid as much attention as he could, "How did you know about it?"

Scion lowered her head and bit her lower lip.

"Janus showed me." She gripped his hand tighter and said in a low voice only he could hear, "That was the war that made you forget who you are."

"I..." Siva was confused.

Or was it shocked?

Surprised....?

Bewildered......?

Perplexed...?

Whatever it is, it made his mind chaotic for a very short yet profoundly significant moment. He can't remember any of that war aside from the time when he stormed through both the Gods and the Devils. And that was all because he believed what the [memories] had shown him.

For him, the [memories] were his connection to a very important and significantly large part of his life he felt he had lost.

"The Gods are extinct and Path of Immortality is sealed by Janus. All the rising Immortals since that time had to pave their own path with twice the blood and the tears as before; the Heavenly Laws have shifted and had been vacantly independent since then... or at least that's what he said. I don't understand any of it. I just felt like it was some sort of message to be delivered to you."

Siva found these words familiar and yet also not familiar to him.

He raised his head and the silence in the crowd in front of them became consciously significant to his senses. Siva knew he had to break the ice but he can't just brush of this topic and his curiosity to this subject was only piqued the more he heard.

"Mandy, do you mean to say that ascending was 100 times harder than before?"

She hesitated but still said, "Janus showed me some things and also said that it is indeed the case for the past few eon cycles since then. This is the reason why it was hard for him."

Siva remembered what Gabriel said about the test he had to take before becoming a real Immortal.

But before he could dwell deeper on these thoughts, the overly enthusiastic Hojer barged in on their conversation, rubbing his hands as if he was about to do a shady business transaction.

"What are you two talking about? Can you tell me more of this Ragnarok I just heard? Hehehe..."

Siva felt angry and tried to push the man away but Maki stepped in and blocked his hand.

There was the blunt sound and the air seemed to scatter, proving the might behind Siva's hand had enough power to actually heavily injure Hojer.

"Are you trying to hurt a defenseless scientist?" a voice full of anger exploded from Maki.

Siva hissed, "There are things that people should never know about. And the limits to my very short patience hovered to the fact that I hate the people eavesdropping to my conversations."

In truth, h knew was in the wrong.

He was at fault there. He momentarily forgot that they were still in a tour and that there is an eager beaver flying off around him.

—I shouldn't have entertained my surprise to the word Mandy said... damn.

Siva reacted to the word 'Ragnarok' because it is a word spoken to in his [memories] after that war.
