When Neo enter the room, he is greeted by all the monarchs. They happily welcomed him.

"Look who finally arrived! The celestial of Life!"

"I told you to call me Neo"

"Just ignore that guy, he's always like that"

"Uhuh, hot news everyone! Jay and Xander is getting married!!"

"Ehh?! Jay and Xander?!"

" Haha! To think these two guys, that want to kill each other whenever they see the other, going to get married!"

"Hey hey! Rihanna, want to tell them too?"

"H-Hanna!"

"Ohhh~ juicy news is going on~ are you dating?"

"Huh? Dude they have been in love since first meeting!"

"EH?! Really?! Why i didn't know?!!"

"You're too dense for your own good"

"You fucker-"

Neo watch them in amusement. It is really fun being around them. Now he understand other reasons why the goddess loves this world. The eyes that watch them in amusement turn into sadness, the people around him notice his mood become confused.

"Hey Neo? What's the matter?"

Neo snapped out of his thoughts and saw that the others noticed his mood. He smile in sadness.

"It's just... I don't know how to tell you.."

"What are you going to tell us?"

Neo fell into silence. How should he tell them? If he didn't tell them, it will break their heart and he don't want tha to happen.

"You know that I tried years to unite all the races. In those years, many wars happened, and i had to singlehandedly stop it"

The monarchs felt guilty when they remembered back when Neo work hard to bring peace in their world without anyone help.

"We know, and you did a great job. Look a us now, we're like long lost friends"

"Yeah... It's just that, I spent all my energies to stop wars and bring peace. Now, i can't even use my magics properly"

"A-are you....going to leave?"

"Unfortunately, i have to"

"B-but why?! Y- you don't have to leave! Y-you can live with us! And we will take care of you!"

"Yeah! You don't have to leave"

The protest, Neo is one of them. He is the string that connect them, without him, they will be shattered. They refused to!

"Don't worry guys, i will be back. Someday"

"What do you mean?"

"I need to gather my energy back, but in order to do that, i have to go into slumber"

"That's not a big deal!"

"Yes, but I'm not sure how long i will go into slumber. It may be a hundred years, or more!"

"T-then..."

"I know that you are sad, me too honestly. I don't want to leave my friends behind, knowing that my absence will hurt you. That's , i will give each of you, a gift"

As he said that, eight lights appear on the sky. Each light float to one monarch. The light dissipates, revealing a powerful magical weapon.

"Monarch of the human, I gifted you, 'Sword of the Holy Warrior'.
