"...I've always wanted to ask a question."
Richard looked at the King of Titans, his expression very serious.
"Why did you stay? Now that the final battle is imminent, I think this secret need no longer be kept."
The King of Titans was silent for a moment, seemingly in thought.
"...It's no harm telling you, I am the insurance. If He wants to leverage the final war to ascend to Eight and a Half Level again, I will appear to knock Him down once more.
I originally had only one chance to strike, but the little one you gave me last time granted me more strength."
"Can you strike twice now?" Richard asked.
"No, just that I am more confident in knocking Him down."
The King of Titans stood up, his voice carrying a hint of gravity.
"If I fail, or if something arises that even we couldn't foresee.
It all depends on you."
Richard nodded slightly, smiling, "Trust in destiny. It will favor me."
