One of the Silver Shelters, Land Of Asura
The room was dimly lit as it was nighttime and the person in the room was about to go to his bed.
The maroon-haired Oldman present in the room raised up his eyebrows, "Ah...I totally forgot about that Bastard. The connection with my beast soul has been severed. It can only happen if...."
After thinking carefully, he laughed...
"Hahaha... He has finally died...I didn't have to dirty my hand for my granddaughter..."

Rio found himself in a big hall which was drowned in white as if the walls were made from growing marbles but His intuition told him it wasn't as simple as it looked.
A pond was on his left side with golden flowers blooming on top of the water's surface as the glimmering butterflies flew around.
In front of him was a statue from which bright light was coming. To be exact, the white figure was glowing and illuminated the whole surrounding.
"That's strange. You have come earlier than expected." A majestic voice sounded in the hall which was feminine.
"Who are you? Where are you hiding?"
He raised his eyes and his eyebrows moved left and right to find the source of the unknown voice.
"That's not what you should ask, Little Rio. But I'll answer you anyway and free you from your doubts so we can have a good talk." The gentle voice sounded again and he realized it was coming from the front.
"I'm what you call God in your world and I'm right in front of you but only my spiritual body is present here. I know what you will be asking so I'm going to answer your next question.
You're here because you didn't take the path of evil even after the so-called Gods and destiny toyed with your life as if you were their plaything." The white glowing figure said in a nonchalant voice.
Rio was dazed hearing such information and he wasn't believing the person in front of his sight. It was too strange what was going on in front of him but slowly he started calming himself down.
"But I'm against the humans, how can she say I'm not evil and My life wasn't that bad compared to many others? She definitely doesn't know anything. " Rio thought she was just trying to fool him as he mumbled inwardly.
"My child, Equipping a weapon to slay the demons and to protect the innocent is a virtuous deed. It's not a sin as long as you're doing good karma even if you're following a path that makes you fight your own race. Most Humans are vile creatures so don't be burdened by this. In this Era, it's hard to find someone like you.
You were born to be chosen as my possible heir and this is your last life in the mortal realm. The destiny stars, the heaven, the higher beings, the nature, all the other reams, and everything played to take your test to change you into who you're today.
However, it won't end right there. You will have to give many other hard trials in the coming future to become my certain heir." She said in a serious voice as the goddess gazed at him with intrigued eyes.
He was dumbfounded to find out that she could read his thoughts.
Rio had many questions going through his mind. It took a few explanations from the goddess to answer all his doubts as they finally subsided.
She continued, "Your task is to take down the Monarch beast in the land of asura. There is only one Monarch beast in each stage. Whenever you reach the peak of your level, you will have to defeat the Monarch beast of that stage, or else you will be stuck on the same level forever.
Once you reach the peak of your current stage you will have your answer on how to find the Monarch beast. Do you understand?"
"Why do you have to be so unfair to punish me with such a curse and what's this 'Monarch' beast?" Rio asked in annoyance.
"As the name explains itself, it's the Monarch of all the beasts on each stage, the one who acquires these beasts will be given a reward at the end of life. Since I cherish you my child more than others, I have put a condition on your growth so it pushes you to break past your limits.
Your current self would blame me for this unfairness but your future self would understand the affection behind my doings." Goddess said in a motherly tone.
"Okay..." He said coldly.
"I have two gifts for you, Little Rio. You will receive it after you go through your sealed memories. But before that I want you to remember one crucial thing...
Have faith in those who love you. Especially the girls who can make a greater sacrifice for you, don't hurt them with your coldness. If you don't accept them then you would lose this battle against destiny.
After you exit this realm, your painful sealed memories will come to you, embrace them with a warm hug. A happy future awaits you, My Child. We will meet again, My blessings will be with you." Goddess said these words as if a parent teaching their child how he should have a happy future and plan carefully.
Her voice was filled with motherly care as well as a divine aura.
After she completed her words, a white light enveloped Rio as he felt his forehead getting kissed and a big hug embracing him as if he was a small kid.
He felt his mind relax and cry out in joy. His eyes became moist for unknown reasons as the goddess hugged him for dozens of seconds.
His surrounding changed and he exited the white hall where the goddess was present.
