During the afternoon I was meeting Harthos again, but this time I was alone with only Orion next to me, for some reason Nix and Layla disappeared somewhere, Sakura and Silvia were doing their thing in the city, and even Ragnar went out with Freya to visit all restaurants in town.

In short, it was a free day for everyone, so I decided to walk around the city with Orion, I don't even count Hinata since she spends most of her time sleeping on my necklace, it seems she can still see and hear everything that happens while resting, at least that's what she told me.

I found Harthos walking surrounded by Adventurers, he saw me first and before I knew it he was at my side, so we went together to a temple where I find Loki, the temple itself was in ruins and seems to have been taken over by nature being the only place in this city in such conditions, it was right on the edge of the city in an uncrowded area.

"What are you doing here?" (Loki)

"He brought me here, I still don't know why." (I)

"I noticed you since yesterday, your Aura reminded me of this place." (Harthos)

"I didn't expect to see a Homunculus like you, did you receive his blessings?" (Loki)

Loki points to the abandoned Temple behind him, I don't understand much of their conversation, but I understood when Loki said that Harthos was a Homunculus, the only one I know so far would be Lyra daughter of Ivan.

"Can someone tell me what Temple this is? Also, why did we come here?" (I)

"So you realized it was a Temple? Most just call it a historic ruin and don't know what it really is." (Harthos)

"..." (I)

"There was no way he didn't know." (Loki)

Loki is right, I realized the moment I saw it, the presence of this place may be different, but it's still very similar to the Communal Temple inside the Dungeon, I can feel holy presence in this place even if faint, also something divine, but it's almost imperceptible.

"What place is this Loki?" (I)

"I'll tell him." (Loki)

"If you know, then feel free, I came here to explain to him about the Island." (Harthos)

"Just tell me." (I)

"This temple has existed for over 23,000 years, but this island has only been here for around 15,000 years." (Loki)

"In other words, this island was moved here, is that why the natural energy here is so strange?" (I)

"I knew you would notice, but there seems to be some misunderstanding, so let me be more specific." (Loki)

"This island is not of this world, it comes from my original world." (Loki)

"..." (I)

As far as I know, the Evil Gods are Gods that came from another world, they are Gods full of obsession for power and selfish, Gods that try to steal a space for themselves in this world through force or schemes that are usually bad.

I look around with new eyes, this time some pieces seemed to fall into place, and now it made sense that this island had such a different natural energy.

"Why is this place here?" (I)

"An ark to save lives, some Gods still wounded brought this fragment of world here, the only place in this universe that would be possible." (Loki).

"Did you come along? You don't strike me as unselfish." (I)

"Not me, I was unconscious for a long time in one of the fragments of the world, when I regained consciousness I just followed the trail they left behind." (Loki)

"You talk as if you have more fragments, that means..." (I)

"The world was completely destroyed, almost the entire population annihilated, a few hundred of the strongest managed to escape this island over here." (Loki)

"When I arrived the Gods were already dead, some disappeared even before arriving in this world, the others must not have endured much longer." (Loki)

"But why this world? Weren't there others around?" (I)

I asked that question, but as far as I knew it could be a world in the same solar system, it could be close to this one.

"This world is special, that's why this fragment was kept here, there are some other fragments in a Separate Space whose entrance should be closer to the middle of the island." (Loki)

"I knew it, you're an Evil God...or should I say, you were once an Evil God?" (Harthos)

"Loki is no longer a god, he has but the power of a god." (I)

"But it still has the mind of a the knowledge of a God is tempting, so try not to spread it too much." (Harthos)

I look at the temple behind Loki, she looked almost sad when I arrived, but I didn't notice anything like that when we arrived on the island, it also doesn't seem like he cares much about the people of his world, so what about this Temple made him like this?

"Did you want to tell me that Mr Harthos?" (I)

"Today I'm a lady, but can you just call me Harthos?" (Harthos)

"..." (I)

"His body changes genders, I don't think you have much control right." (Loki)

"Yes, a punishment for trying to escape death by transferring my Soul to another body." (Harthos)

Then he tried to change his Soul to another body just like Ivan and his wives did with Lyra in the past, but as far as I know, they weren't punished by any God, maybe it was judged not necessary since their suffering was greater than any punishment.

But now that I think about it, Nicole was punished for something like that, her punishment might seem light to other people, but it was something that really impacted her and almost took away her reason to build her body.

It felt like the punishment was on what was precious to Nicole, that might be something, I look at Harthos, maybe he was also punished where it mattered most to him at the time.

"This island is very unique in this world, the Elves want you to know that the World Tree on this island comes from another world, it is the reason this fragment manages to remain here as part of this world." (Harthos)

"But not everyone likes that, for thousands of years this place has been attacked on several occasions, the Church of Light has always been the most fervent when the destruction of this island." (Harthos)

"Why tell me this?" (I)

"I don't know but I was asked to tell so I did, it's not a big secret anyway." (Harthos)
