of Echoes ichio encountered the god of
humanity whose name surprised him lar
was this not the name of the Guardian
from the first tier what connection did
these two share or was it merely that a
bold set of parents named their child
after a deity yet the appearance of the
god of humanity dispelled this thought
for he possessed flowing red hair an
extraordinarily handsome Visage
radiating an aura of sacred inviability
though his face was not an exact
likeness of the legendary Hunter lar it
bore a striking resemblance you Ponder
my name and question my appearance do
you not laric gazed at ichio there is no
need for such confusion my progyny are
scattered across the land
you are all my Descendants the power of
Bloodlines will eventually awaken in a
certain generation bringing your forms
ever closer to mine should you encounter
humans resembling me or even bearing my
name do not be bewildered why
descendants carry my name and this is
permissible as I have sanctioned it this
is akin to how the elders often name
their children after Divine beasts such
as B the legendary Hunter lar was named
thus by his parents perhaps there is
nothing peculiar about this
after all there may have been many named
laric throughout the history of this
game yet all have perished the sole
survivor to stand before the players is
the legendary Hunter lar it is said that
laric s Crimson hair was transformed by
the blood of a fire giant of course one
could also attribute it to the
consumption of the blood of giants
resulting in a return to ancestral
traits however these details are trivial
what matters is that the deity before
you Bears no relation to lar that is
sufficient Dy descendant Al though your
bloodline does not yet approach mine I
am left with no Alternatives I have
awaited too long let us Forge a pact for
as my descendant I shall not permit you
to refuse become my Oracle and Release
Me From This endless prison upon the
completion of this task you shall Ascend
to Demag godhood reclaiming the verdant
dragon and turn I shall be your
staunchest ally our thoughts shall
intertwine indistinguishable from one
another you shall be a God and I in the
name of the human God lar guarantee this
to you why ichio nodded slowly what must
I do now lar gazed intently at ichio but
suddenly shifted his gaze the other
deities had already begun to act
indicating that we were not the swiftest
each of us had relinquished one nth of
our Essence to forge the Ascension well
The Power Within is sufficient for one
to attain godhood yet the Divine
positions in this realm are filled thus
you may only become a Demag God however
this is of no consequence once our task
is complete our Bloodlines shall
intertwine thoughts United sharing
existence and divine rank but you must
hasten for they will undoubtedly select
an Oracle and pursue the Ascension well
we must locate it before them otherwise
the ones released will be other deities
and you shall lose your chance to become
a god while I shall succumb to Eternal
Slumber From This Moment forth we are of
one vessel sharing both glory and ruin
remember this the other deities die why
icho inquired where is the Ascension
well in response lar slowly extended his
right hand speaking of its location is
feudal instead grasp my hand tightly and
let us become one I shall guide you to
the Ascension well after much
contemplation ichio finally took hold of
Lark's hand I in the next instant larc's
Soul surged into io's body at that
moment an endless Radiance erupted from
ichio his eyes shining with Brilliance
as a peculiar sensation coursed through
his very soul I shall Safeguard your
spirit as I would my own child now
awaken we have no time to squander
Lark's voice echoed within ichk mind why
ichio felt a swift Flash before him and
he Departed the Hall of Echoes returning
