Ulysses walked alone to the very top floor of this ancient castle.

Unlike the spires of most castles, the top floor of this castle, which is not known when it was built, is a very wide square. There was no barrier around the square, nothing but the only entrance to the center. If you look around, you can easily see the sea.

It is a small island by the sea, and it is connected to the mainland by a huge rock bridge.

Ulysses arrived just before dawn, and the massive rocky bridge looked like a dragon crossing the turquoise sea in the dark, exuding a majestic momentum.

The island is not very large, and you can see almost the entire island from the very top of the castle. The island has been reclaimed with scattered fields and some simple crops are grown. Other than that, there are no traces of human activity left behind.

This is the legendary birthplace of the Ana family, an ancient castle where time has stood still. Ulysses had only seen it look like in books before this.

It's not the same as the town that Elmea created, surrounded by a barrier of despair. In this castle, time does not slow down, but stands still. Here, you can find tableware from tens of thousands of years ago, as well as many, many items that have disappeared from the mainland.

Time passes, but this place never changes. The Ana family has lived in this castle for more than a hundred generations, but nothing has changed since the castle was built.

Undoubtedly, this is some kind of "miraculous" power.

However, this is not the miraculous power that Ulysses now desires.

What he wants is not the power to make time stand still, but the power to transcend the laws of this world and bring back the broken soul.

Silently, Ulysses took to the sky, step by step into the air thousands of meters above the ground.

At this moment, it was the last dark hour before dawn, and at the feet of Ulysses was the boundless ocean, which was covered in darkness and stretched to the other side of the horizon.

At the end of the sky, there was a faint glimmer of light, a sign of the coming sun, proof that the endless darkness was about to be broken.

In order to get Yuria's broken soul back and accomplish this miracle that no magic could do, he had to explore the realm of the two special beings that Aya spoke of.

First, He was the Light, the Lord, the apex of everything. He has supreme authority, all-knowing and all-powerful wisdom, He created the world, He created all things, He is the only supreme God.

If you have that kind of power, you can put the entire sea of life in the palm of your hand, and use the all-powerful power to collect the fragments of Yuria's soul that have been scattered in the ocean little by little, and finally gather them into the original complete soul, and then give her a new body to achieve a new life like an angel.

This is the prerogative of the Most High God, the Creation Realm of the Lord of the World.

Of all the powers that Ulysses wielded, the power of the Golden Demon Lord Astarrot from the Sea of Chaos was the closest to this realm. The nature of the realm of infinity is inherently full of infinite possibilities. And the name Astaroth, in the world where Aya exists, was indeed once regarded as a "god".

Then, there was the second one, and that was a demon king.

He is among the seven demon kings, but no one knows his true face, where he came from, and where he is going. What role he played in the final war with the Most High God is also a mystery. No one can predict his actions, not even the Most High God, who claims to be omniscient and omnipotent.

In the realm of the soul, he is truly the strongest. He is the only demon king who has mastered the essence of his soul, the one who once made a bet with the Supreme God and won the victory.

If he could gain his power, he could also bring Yuria's soul back, and even Aya didn't know what to do, but the fact that he could resurrect even those who had been completely wiped out by the Lord of Death from the root was enough to prove his ability - something that even the Supreme God could not do.

"The Law of Creation and the Law of the Soul, the Most High God and Mephistopheles. Ulysses stood high above the clouds and watched the golden light that began to spread beneath his feet.

It is the sunlight that drives away all darkness and brings warmth and the radiance of life to the earth.

If he wants Yuria to return, he must have power over the Light, enough power to shake the whole "world".

Can it be done?, Ulysses asked himself, this was not a concrete and clear ideal of becoming a priest, but an idea that would not appear in the wildest delusions of ordinary people.

Just to save someone, just for one of his own wishes, to find the power that is enough to change the world, this kind of thing he would never think about before, "common sense" binds him, so that he can't go beyond his own boundaries.

However, seeing Yuria die in front of him again, even if it was just a fragment of her, made him realize how much weight the past he desperately wanted to forget had in his heart.

The battle with Lara is not the end, but only the beginning. In that battle, he faced his own darkness and completely accepted the power of the Demon King, just because of the desire in his heart.

Because, he wants to break that "common sense". Even if this is against the law of morality, even if it is reversing fate, he just wants to redeem and change.

To do what you want to do, not for others, not for any ideal, just for your own will, this is the essence of the demon king, not to accept any restraint of arrogance - this is what Aya told him.

Standing high in the air, facing the sun that has jumped out of the horizon, Ulysses is no longer for others, but for himself, for what he wants to do the most, what he wants to get back the most, and speaks his heart:

"I want Yulia back, I want more power. ”

At this moment, the dreams of the past, the once ordinary and ordinary life plan, were abandoned by Ulysses himself. For the sake of his heart's desire, in order to find his most important person, he chose a new path.

He didn't want to destroy the world, nor did he deliberately fall into darkness. It was only because of a wish, a wish that was too extravagant for even an angel to do, that Ulysses chose this path where no one could see the future.

"The past is gone, and no one knows the future......" Ulysses stretched out his hand, looking through the gap in his hand, the whole world seemed incomparably small, as if it were in the palm of his hand.

Perhaps, it's not that the world has become smaller, but that he is standing in a different position.
