After the fearsome triple threat fight between Yuki, Zhaylen, and Hero, everyone went back home. Though, there was still something that troubled Hero: the man in his nightmare. He entered his blade to talk to Asneira about it, describing every single thing that happened - including the mystery man. This story widened the eyes of Asneira himself, who seemed to be familiar with the stranger.
Asneira: Are you sure you aren't falsely describing this man to me?!
Hero: Woah, what's with the short temper 'Neira? You're never like that.
Asneira's quick temper turned to gloom and sorrow.
Hero: Uh!? Did I say something wrong?!
Asneira: No. My apologies, Hero but I'm afraid I haven't been entirely truthful with you about what happened years ago.
Hero: What do you mean...?
Asneira: While it is true that Amura was an evil spirit, his actions would've seemed like child's play to another known as Zaroth.
Hero: Who's Zaroth?
Asneira: He is the most evil and corrupt individual in all of existence.
Hero: How can he be any worse than Amura?
Asneira: Zaroth was responsible for Amura's dark energy. You see, back when we were given the vey characteristics that defined us, Zaroth was a special case. Our father was experimenting and unbeknownst to him, gave Zaroth the urge of wanting chaos and nothing more. His persuasive skills were immaculate and his power was extraordinary.
[Flashback]
Zaroth: Father.
Shen: Yes, my son?
Zaroth: Entrust your power to me. I have everything under control from here.
Shen: How so?
Zaroth: The Earth flourishes with trees and plants that are greener than grass. Its water is clear as can be. Wildlife runs through the forests and mountains carefree.
Shen: So why would I leave such a beautiful sight like this?
Zaroth: You and I both know you're more interested in experimenting on universe after universe, discovering the endless possibilities of what could happen within them. Think of it this way, you can experiment on how well a universe would be if you have the power of a God to someone else, perhaps a son of yours.
Shen: Hmm...
Zaroth: I promise I shall not disappoint you, Father, if you lend your power to me.
Shen: As much of a good son to me you are, Zaroth, I cannot give you the ultimate authority of power over your sixth brother. He's an incredible leader like you. You could be his right hand man.
Zaroth: I have another suggestion then, Father. Lend me an alternate source of power that matches with his.
Shen: What?
