Ellery and Akimitsu took the lead with reporting about their trip, providing the agreed-upon explanation of Juniper's existence. They explained what happened so many times, they could probably say it in their sleep.

Director Yun sat back in her seat and felt like she was dreaming. "To think Juniper is in a body that the Beast God created! Just like the first humans created in the Zevaria Empire..."

"Then why do you have the mark of the Beast God on your forehead, Ellery?" Adviser Yun asked, still a bit confused.

"It is a side effect of being exposed to the Beast God's divine power. He had to separate Lune from my soul, which caused the Beast God's mark to appear," Ellery easily explained. It wasn't a lie, but not exactly the truth.

"We understand," Vice Director Theodore nodded. "We will do our best to explain to the citizens of the Empire your and Juniper's situation. I am sure no one will question it after seeing the mark of the Beast God, though..."

That was true. The Zephyrus Galaxy still had contact with the Beast God and Adel. With them being present, the belief in the Beast God was strong.

"Perfect." Director Yun clapped once to get everyone's attention. "Vice Director, draft up an explanation. The rest of us will revise the contract."

After an hour of back-and-forth negotiations, the contract was finalized. All they needed to do was wait for the legal teams to look over the contract once more and notarize it.

Only after the contract was signed did Juniper and Ellery update their information through the Guide Association.

*****

By the end of the day, Ellery and Juniper's arrival at the Imperial Star was publicized. They introduced Juniper and gave a convincing explanation about the Beast God's mark on both their foreheads. They emphasized that Ellery sought out the Beast God because of his fears of the two separate spiritual seas increasing in spiritual power. There was a fear that he would explode from the amount of spiritual power his body had. He also had pain associated with the increase in spiritual power, so he had no choice but to seek out the Beast God for a solution.

Finally, Lune was separated from his body and was bound to a compatible soul.

No one questioned this explanation, and everyone in the Zephyrus Galaxy welcomed Juniper with open arms and excitement.

There was another person who had SS+ rank spiritual power with SSS+ potential! How could they not be excited?

The Interstellar Netizens were sharing their excitement in the comment section of the Guide Association's explanation.

[windfearsme: I wonder why the Beast God created a body for Mr. Juniper that looks like Mr. Ellery.]

[marrymejuniper: I think it's pretty obvious! It's so Lune has an easier time adjusting to a new owner!]

[Ellery's#1fan: Damn! The guy above me changed his user so fast!]

While the netizens of the Zevaria Empire were celebrating, Juniper was leaning against Edros. After a full day of human interaction, all he wanted to do was hide in his room.

Edros did his best not to move. He felt like a pet owner who needed to use the bathroom, but he didn't want to disturb a napping cat on his lap.

"Juniper... are you really going to be okay?" Ellery was used to Juniper retreating to the back of his subconscious while they were sharing a body. Now, Juniper was unable to do that.
