Apparently he had used some pretty powerful Magic in the last hour. Or maybe it was the fact that he had just released it all out in that way, with no way of controlling it. "Really wish I had gotten a warning that using Magic like that completely exhausts the user." the male muttered to himself, resting for a few moments before walking into the temple. It was rather large and grand, which was to be expected considering it was paying homage to all the gods and goddesses in existence. Of course, the most noticeable was none other than Hollow himself, followed by the five others who each had a Sector named after them. "I wonder if I could've been reborn as a god... maybe then things would've been a lot easier." the male thought quietly to himself, but he knew that this was impossible. He hadn't seen the race as a possibility on the list he was given, and even then, even though Hollow was pretty much THE god, he was still limited with doing stuff like that. "Ah, well... what can you do." the male muttered quietly to himself. He then found a place to sit, getting into a meditative state to relax and clear his mind. "in time it may become, a rose." ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ "A burdened heart sinks into the ground, a veil falls away without a sound." "Not day nor night, wrong nor right, for truth and peace you fight."

This force caused him to double over in pain, falling sideways onto the floor as he clenched his teeth. He moved one of his hands to his head, to try and halt the assault of pain that was currently overtaking it. His breath became ragged as the pain finally subsided, leaving him with a flurry of different memories. Who he truly was, what he had done in the past, his family... everything began coming back to him. He wasn't a human that was truly born in the other world. Instead his soul had been sent there, stuck in the body of a human child and his memories erased, so that he wouldn't be a threat to a more powerful force. Someone who wanted him gone and would do anything to get rid of him. Although these plans were ruined when Hollow accidentally killed him. Though whether on purpose or miraculous coincidence was still unknown. But it seemed that Hollow knew exactly who he was and, since laying eyes on him once again, began recreating these once erased memories of him, so that he could remember just exactly who he was.
"I am... Akuryō Jōtei Zen'nō-sha. The Oni Warlord, Conquerer of the Arcanum Sector. Champion of Arcanum Elementis himself, husband to Gwenaëlle Zen'nō-sha. And I am... truly... very much so... rightly... pissed off!" the male screamed, his magic aura spreading outwards and covering the whole of Stoicheía, signaling to all that he was truly back. Although he soon fell to his knees after, gasping for air, and seeming to be in pain. He moved a hand up and gripped his heart, wincing as his physical features began to change, causing him to appear as he did twenty-one years ago, before he disappeared from this world inexplicably. "That b*****d Wolloh... he took everything from me. My Magic, my weapons, my life..." the male muttered to himself, his breath slowly becoming steadier. He slowly stood to his feet once more as he looked to the sky, as if awaiting an answer. "Hey! If you're there, then answer me! What now!" the male yelled, before remembering he was in a temple. He sighed, but soon after chuckled, walking to a statue of none other than Arcanum, the God of the Multiverse. Although married to many women, he was best known for being married to his counterpart, Amelia, Goddess of the Multiverse. Though without another word, he knelt down and began to pray in front of the statue of Arcanum.
"Man, took the old guy long enough, right? I was beginning to wonder when you'd remember me!" a voice spoke, seeming to come from all around the temple. Though soon a kitsune male walked from behind one of the pillars, seeming to have appeared from out of nowhere. He seemed to be pretty casually dressed, except the necklace of beads he wore, and bracelets he had. When he took his hands out of his pockets, one would be able to see the four rings he had on each hand, each one exuding powerful energy. Though while he did look like your average Kitsune male, his magic aura would say otherwise, as it seemed to rival Akuryō's own. Although it seemed to be calm and under control now, there was something hidden beneath that, which seemed to say "challenge me if you want, just be prepared to die". He began walking towards Akuryō, but dodged a swift punch that the opposing male delivered out of nowhere. "H-Hey! Geez, calm down! I couldn't do anything earlier because of the big man's orders! Otherwise I would be returning all of your powers and weapons right now! ... Or, well... at least those that weren't taken." the male said, seeming to look from Akuryō's eyes as he spoke.
Akuryō stared at Arcanum as he spoke, his fist embedded within a pillar next to the god's head. What did he mean by that? What powers he could return? "What do you mean? Were my powers and weapons not just locked away?" the male asked, his glare steely as he looked to the god that was turning his gaze away. Arcanum sighed as he crossed his arms and returned the glare back to Akuryō, his expression becoming much more serious. "You really think Wolloh would let it off so easily? Knowing there was a chance you'd come back one day?" the god asked back sighing as he held a hand out, showing what seemed to be a map of the world. There were many images all over, each one seeming to take a different appearance or shape. They seemed to be deep within ruins, or even high atop mountains, to places where no regular mortals would dare try to explore. "He took whatever he could, ripping it from your soul and our grasp as he destroyed your body. If not for our intervention, he would've done away with everything, even your soul. Then where would we be? Back at square one." the god spoke, rubbing his forehead.
"To make a long story short, he took each of your powers and weapons you gained over the last two thousand years, hiding them with his most trusted anti-gods and anti-goddesses, as well as his monsters. To ensure that no one, not even us, would be able to get them back without a fight. He truly wishes to make this difficult for everyone, so that he can rise in power again in order to defeat Hollow, and destroy all Existence." the male finished, his gaze set back on Akuryō, to see how he would react. Akuryō listened intently as Arcanum spoke, nodding his head and turning his gaze to the map at times, as if memorizing everything so that he would be able to travel there soon. He growled as the god finished, punching the pillar again, sending the broken pieces crashing onto the ground. "That son of a b***h! He's gotten worse in the time I've been gone too, it seems. Everyone seems to be much more on edge, even the royalty. It's really pissing me off honestly." the Oni spoke, his eyes beginning to turn a dangerous shade of red before he managed to calm himself down. So, all of his old powers and weapons were gone, spread across the world for him to go and find. It reminded him of the old days, honestly. But, he figured now was as good a time to ask, for he knew that Arcanum would know the answer to his question.
"What of Gwenaëlle and my children? Are they all safe? Right now, their safety is prioritized over everything else in my mind." the male said, his expression softening slightly as he looked back to Arcanum. Arcanum smiled knowingly as Akuryō asked his question. He knew that he would've been asking it sooner or later, though he was rather glad it was sooner. And he knew that his wife and Gwen's mother, Katherina, along with Gwen herself, would feel the same way. "Don't worry about the. Your daughter and son are traveling the world, trying to find you. I'll send word to them soon about your location. As for Gwen and your youngest, Lilith, they are both safely in Theés, which isn't that far from here. But don't worry, she'll be headed this way soon, since she knows you've come back to this world." Arcanum replied, nodding his head as he finished. He knew that Akuryō would be happy with this answer. Akuryō breathed a sigh of relief with the news that Arcanum gave him. Just knowing his wife and children were alive was all he needed. Though he was proud that two of them were out searching for him, with the youngest taking care of their mother.
"Those three make me very proud, being able to do everything they have in my absence." Akuryō said, falling to the floor in a sitting position as exhaustion took him over once again. He still needed to recover from everything he just felt, and not be moving too much anytime soon. It was then that a thought popped into his mind, causing him to look up at Arcanum with a quizzical expression on his face. "You said that Wolloh didn't take all of my powers. I know Hollow brought me into this world with a few of them, but I feel as if you may be hiding something else. Is there something you need to tell me?" Akuryō asked Arcanum, moving to lean against a nearby pillar. A mischievous smile made its way onto Arcanum's face as Akuryō asked if he was hiding anything. "Well, aren't you the inquisitive one as always, my Champion. You really are too observant for your own good sometimes, though. I was planning these to be a surprise." Arcanum spoke as he held his right hand out, three orbs appearing and floating above it. One of the orbs seems to look like a ticking clock, with gears all around it. The second one seemed to be a boundless abyss, with no end in sight. And the third one seemed to have crazy events and natural disasters shown within it.
"I was actually able to salvage three of your old powers before the old man stopped me. He didn't want us interfering with your upcoming "quest", and possibly gaining the attention of Wolloh too quickly." the god spoke, still smiling as he held the three orbs out towards Akuryō. They seemed to resonate with the male's own breathing as they approached closer to his body. Chrono Clockwork, Master of the Void, and Chaos of Deus. Time, Void, and Chaos. These were the three powers I was able to re-obtain for you. Be sure to use them wisely!" the god exclaimed before seeming to shove the orbs into Akuryō's chest. Akuryō was too mesmerized by the three orbs which contained fragments of his old power, subconsciously reaching out towards them. Due to this, he was too distracted and too late to react to what Arcanum was doing. "Wait, what are y-" was all the male managed to say before an unbearable pain took over his body. He clawed at his chest as he released an unearthly roar, his magic power fluctuating wildly as it did earlier in town, though this time enveloping the whole of Lykofos instead of the entire country. Soon the pain subsided though, and Akuryō was left, gasping for air, on the ground. "You... elegant... b*****d..." the Oni spoke, though there was a small smile on his face.
Arcanum smiled again as he summoned a chair to sit in, watching as Akuryō was left to the mercy of his old power. He only stayed in the event of the worst case scenarios of the power driving him made, or beginning to tear his body apart. Though thankfully, the Oni seemed to be able to take in his old power with next to no problem, except for his exhaustion afterwards. That was good, as it meant there wouldn't need to be a god present every time he regained an old power or weapon of his. "Aw, you're welcome Aku!" the god teased, a teasing grin on his face. Though this was good, as Akuryō needed to rest for now. With all the limited magic power he had used since coming back to this world, he would kill himself if he tried continuing now. "Go ahead and rest for now. Gwen should come along shortly... I hope." the male said, muttering the last part to himself. "Don't worry, I understand. I'm incredibly tired, and do not wish for my body to be torn to shreds." Akuryō replied, moving back over to his pillar to lean against it again. Though when he heard Gwen's name, he relaxed even more. To be able to see his wife again would be a blessing, even if she slapped and scolded him for being gone too long. Though he hoped what just happened wouldn't attract... unwanted attention. Monster or Anti-God, he didn't want to risk Arcanum protecting him and getting either of them injured or worse. But for now, he would rest, and let his hopes stay high. "this racing in our hearts is real." ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ "Never again will our longing cease."
