turn Kyuka in a Demon King and then kill him.”

So, one of the reasons that Kyuka had become powerful so quickly was because Nehyor was pulling strings in the shadows.
But perhaps he wasn’t the only candidate.

Nehyor had likely been manipulating things in both the west and east, and then put the most effort into the most promising king.
I knew Nehyor, and that was the way he worked.

“Zeus cast a barrier around the Human World, so no one can leave or enter… That’s what King Melvis said?”

“Golan, you seem more interested in that than Nehyor.
…Well, that is what he said.
I don’t know what kind of barrier it is, or when it was created.”

The General chuckled and added that she didn’t know how such a barrier could be created in the first place.
But it was no laughing matter to me.

I didn’t know if he made a barrier or closed a gate.
But this Zeus had clearly done something.

But when?
These stories from mythology would be thousands of years old.

Let’s say that the Human World was closed off five thousand years ago.
And if there was no contact with the Demon World and Celestial World all of that time, would that explain why they were now considered mythological creatures?

“…Ah, that’s right.
It’s the difference in lifespan.”
If you lived to be five hundred or a thousand, then information about sightings would fade gradually.

Also, it was ancient times, where information was hard to keep.

There was no paper.
Even if such things were recorded on stone and clay tablets, they may not have survived until modern times.

And so they had to be passed on orally, as stories that were seen as fables.

In the past, it must have been possible to travel between the worlds.
But Zeus had created a barrier, and the Human World was closed off.

Any residents of the Demon World who had been left behind would have either died in battle or of old age.
And only legends of them remained.
Something like that.

“Golan, what is it?”
“Nothing.
I was just thinking…it’s nothing.”

In ancient times.
Places like Greece, Egypt and China.
In every country, there were stories of people fighting monsters and beasts.
And in mythology, there were gods who killed demons.

Perhaps some of them were true.

It was Zeus who created the barrier around the Human World.
And Hera created the Enra institution.

While I had no way to find out what the Celestial World was planning, it was clear to me now that there was a lot that Melvis was aware of.
