"!!!"
Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes. They were very familiar with this name. After all, he was known as Fenrir's father.
"Why would he…" Fenrir's voice was shaking.
"I won't tell you right now. I don't mind telling you everything, but only after…" Xolotl pointed at Nathan. "...you become at the level of these guys. Before that, you have to be satisfied with whatever I'm telling you right now."
"..." Nathan's expression turned solemn. It looked like he had no choice but to get stronger.
"Anyway, this lowly guy might be annoying, but he wasn't foolish. He suggested moving Earth to a different place to avoid its imminent destruction rather than continuing the battle against the aliens."
"What? He was the one suggesting the idea?"
"That was what I was told. Like I said, I didn't attend this meeting because the representative was someone else.
"One side suggested continuing the fight because they weren't afraid. The other side supported his suggestion.
"Those who wanted to continue the fight were led by someone called Nyx. Those who wanted to retreat and prioritize the survival of the lesser beings were led by a guy called Jade Emperor."
Nathan was definitely impressed by the names he mentioned. He knew Xolotl was telling the truth because it wouldn't make sense to mention those names without knowing them.
Nyx was a goddess known as the goddess whom Zeus feared. The Jade Emperor was considered the highest-level sovereign who handled bureaucratic matters in Chinese mythology.
Kun and Jinwu seemed to be surprised to hear that name.
"Ultimately, they decided to relocate Earth to a place where no one could reach, but it also meant shattering everything we were supposed to have here to make sure the aliens couldn't find them."
"!!!" Nathan recalled what Cthulhu said. "The world fragments…"
"That's right. We have to leave behind our power."
"Wait a moment. In your mythology, you were supposed to die because you didn't want to be sacrificed…"
Xolotl shrugged. "After hearing it, I was one of the people who opposed that plan. I might not be a good one, but I am certainly not a coward. So tell me, why should I sacrifice myself for something that I don't even agree with?"
"So, the new sun…"
"It was the sacrifice to relocate the world. To make sure the relocation was impossible to find, it required a huge amount of power."
Nathan gasped. Now that he thought about it, every mythology came to an end. "Don't tell me, the end of all those mythologies…"
"Yeah. It was a sacrifice for the relocation." Xolotl nodded, confirming his doubt.
Nathan definitely didn't expect there to be such a conspiracy that he knew nothing about. He looked at the rest of the divine beasts.
They were as confused as his, so it was clear that this plan might only be known by the True Gods.
The rest were just collateral damage.
"Not everything was destroyed for the sake of the relocation, some remained. That was why, according to your memory, there were still some legends that were created not long ago."
Nathan glanced at Mae. Mae was probably the most recent among his divine beasts.
"This is… I don't know how to take all this." Nathan shook his head helplessly. This information was too much even for him.
Xolotl raised two fingers. "You only need to consider two things. It looks like your body has something special.
"It has the power of fate and the past, the present, and the future. That's the biggest difference.
"The second one is that you have the world fragment. That's why you are able to summon me in the first place.
"So, now that you know my story, I'm going to tell you I'm not a coward. If it's about fighting the aliens, I will beat them up.
"However, I'm not foolish enough to throw my life away even if I'm only a fragment right now. If you think you have grown strong enough to make a difference, I will help you.
"But for now, you are struggling with the elements. That's why I will teach you a thing or two."
Nathan contemplated. The story might sound unbelievable. He definitely didn't know what had happened back then precisely, but he understood the conspiracy behind it.
Nevertheless, his goal remained the same. If Xolotl was going to help him, there was no reason to reject him.
'Knowing what happened to Earth, fighting the Outer Gods, or even deciding the outcome… I won't be relevant as long as I'm weak. If I want anything, I need to become strong.'
Nathan nodded with a grim expression. "Please teach me about elements."
"Sure," Xolotl agreed.
"Before that…" Nathan turned around. "Mae, Anubis, Fenrir. Do you mind gathering the cores from the aliens around? Jinwu and Kun will scout the area. Orochi, Qilin, and Nidhogg will be on the lookout."
The divine beasts had no qualms about the arrangement, especially after hearing the story and knowing about Xolotl's power.
But before they could begin, Nathan actually received a communication request.
"Please give me another moment." Nathan received the call, which came from Neyeid.
"Nathan. How are you doing?"
"I'm fine. What's wrong? Do you need anything from me?"
"Actually, the doctor is done with the medicine. I just want to tell you about that."
"Ah! All right, I will be there as soon as I'm free."
"Take your time."
Nathan now felt a bit bad. Although it was important, training with Xolotl might be more important.
Surprisingly, Kun was the one who intervened in this matter.
"Xolotl. I mentioned earlier that there was someone called Evelyn who had the same foundation as yours, right? Unfortunately, this woman hadn't harmonized the elements, and he was planning to use the medicine to help harmonize them."
"That's impossible. To harmonize the conflicting elements, you need a complicated step. It's not as simple as taking medicine."
"That's why I want to ask you this. Why don't you teach the girl as well? She is extremely talented. Her talent might be comparable to ours or even yours. You can do it together with him."
"Hmm?" Xolotl frowned before turning to Nathan. "What is your relationship to her?"
Nathan looked away while scratching the back of his head. What was Evelyn to him? They were definitely closer than normal friends. In fact, she might be his woman, but because of the Death Society, she was not.
"To put it simply…" Kun was the one answering the question. "Soon-to-be wife(?). That's probably the most accurate description."
Xolotl crossed his arms while tilting his head. After a few seconds, he said, "Fine."
