Narukami went with it as he accepted Zero's request. No harm either, only benefits. He needed as many Sorcerers to reveal the truth about All Beyond.

When that happened, All Beyond would undoubtedly deploy all of its resources to kill him.

Although dead come to everyone. That did not mean one would wait for it should it be before them. One might struggle and use every last strand of energy to save their lives.

No exceptions to Narukami. He knew what might happen to him in the near future and so, doing this would benefit him a lot.

Was he hesitant? Sort of. It was because Zero was one of the upper echelons. There was a high chance he was acting but in truth digging more information about Narukami

Nevertheless, Narukami had many ways if Zero tried to black mailing or doing something which disrupt or in the way, Narukami would not hesitate to kill him.

He was not being cruel. If not for Zero's usefulness, Narukami might have killed him already.

Without capturing him into his spatial world.

Back to the present. Zero was chatting with Ryu. After learning that Zero knew Z was, Ryu asked more about that guy.

"He's older than you think so it's normal his behavior is different than most people. Though, I understand a pattern in him." Zero smiled.

"Pattern?" Ryu recited.

"Nothing, so why are you here?" Zero pondered. He believed Ryu was here because he had become Narukami's believer after experiencing something like him.

"It's a long story," Ryu chuckled awkwardly as he paused before continuing, "long story short, I almost lost control and killed Narukami."

"Almost?! You already are!" Narukami's voice echoed from the darkness as his tone slightly intensified.

Zero was stunned as he heard his voice. His heart skipped a beat and fear slowly filled his heart.

He gave Ryu a meaningful glance as he warned him, "hey? What are you doing? You're going to make god mad!"

Ryu retracted his line of sight to Zero. He looked at him strangely.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Earlier, what did you just say?" Asked Ryu as he was incredibly confused and slightly doubted his ears.

Did I hear it right? This guy calls Narukami a god! What the actual f is going on here?! I've only been here for a few hours and Narukami has already got a powerful guy following him? How charismatic was this guy?

Ryu did indeed listen to Zero's stories but halfway through, he felt sleepy and his mind went black at the exact part where Zero told the story of him becoming Narukami's believer.

"Are you dumb or your mind had already gotten old? I've said it before, I want to become his, no, 'His' first believer." Zero emphasized the word 'His'.

"This may be late. What is your name?" Zero asked.

Ryu's wandering mind went back to reality.

"...yes."

"What?" Zero frowned as he was bewildered. He probably thought, I'm asking your name yet you answer it with yes?' Are you serious? Is it possible this guy is playing with me while I'm being serious?

Zero's expression slightly darkened. Ryu noticed this and he had the expression of fear as he backed off a few steps as Zero slowly came to his side.

Ryu raised his hand in front of his chest, indicating Zero to stop.

"Hey, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly like that?" Ryu asked with a stiffened smile.

Zero was someone who used to be in a high position. Everyone looked up to him and none dared to mess around with him. Though it made him feel lonely as he had a few people to interact with, it did feel good to be feared.

Yet this kid who could be his descendant kidding around while he was serious? How brazen he was!

As though reading his mind, Narukami said, "Zero, don't scare your senior. Be it his age or power, he's still earlier than you. Don't you think it's too much killing him just because he was in a daze?

"Also, one more thing. Know your place, maggot." In the last words, his voice was deep and cold.

Zero halted his movements and his entire being greatly shivered. His heart skipped a beat and currently, it was pounding quite hard. Sweat flowed down across his cheeks to his chin.

"This is not in organization but in my world. Don't you think you're getting ahead of yourself? Doing everything you wanted just because I have mercy on you?

"Fool, don't get too confident in yourself. Ryu, you can do anything to him. Even if he died, that is not a problem." Just like that, Narukami ended his talk and went back to reality.

"He's really mad. Zero, I suggest you not do anything reckless." Ryu gave advice and Zero hesitatingly accepted it before sighing in resignation.

In my former organization, everyone is chosen randomly without looking at strength and here, the one with the highest position is the older one around here.

Which means those with Narukami the longest held the highest position in this spatial world.

*What are you going to do?" Zero asked cautiously. He might kill himself as long as Ryu said so.

Zero retreated a few steps as his eyes on Ryu's clueless face. 

"Why are you walking back? I'm not going to do anything to you."

"You're saying that so I lower my guard down!" Zero retorted.

"You're overthinking too much. Not like it's going to happen," said Ryu as he shook his head.

"It will be in the next few minutes!"

However, as he walked back. Something odd happened. His legs suddenly stuck on something! Downward his gaze, he saw green vines coiling his legs around.

Zero immediately knew what was going on. In this place, even if he hide or run, no matter how hidden or far he ran. He could not escape.

This was anything but a simple truth yet sometimes, the more simple the truth was, the harder for one to accept it.

"Damn it!" Zero yelled to the sky as he casted his gaze to Ryu. Zero's expression was contorted in rage and hatred.

A moment ago he felt relieved as he was saved but it was naive and pathetic he was to think like that.

Ryu had reached his side and patted his shoulder as he chuckled.

Saying right before his left right, Ryu said, "Dumbass, there's no way I would hurt you. However, can you tell me how many crimes you've committed?"

Ryu ended his sentence with a question. Zero abruptly had a bad feeling.

"I'm the upper echelons of one of the most sinister and hideous cult organizations in the world. Does that answer you?"

As one of them. It was beyond number on how many people Zero had killed. Although he was not dirtying his hands, his mouth was dirty.

He ordered the members to kill, plunder, ensuing chaos secretly or openly, and last but not least, using children to increase the members' efficiency in leveling up.

To Ryu, it was disgusting. Horribly disgusting that he almost puked, though, thanks to his tough will and body, he endured it and swallowed back the stomach content.

"I see. I'm a man that always keeps my words. But still, that does not mean you're safe." Ryu shook his head.

"What are you talking about. What are you going to do with me?!" Zero flustered.

Ryu ignored his words. He was not as naive and soft as Asahi. He was more or less different from him, maybe Ryu could surpass Narukami, for better or worse.

Turning his head around and walking away, he waved his hands as he ignored Zero's question, "Enjoy the gift from a senior. You should be honored." After he said this, hands rose from the ground as they were trying to get up from the soil.

Zero's eyes dilated to a tip of a pen.

"They are… ghouls? But different, it's as if they are highly corrupted from Foul energy. No, not as if but that is the case!" Zero with vast knowledge in his mind identified the monsters quickly and had many things to deal with them.

However, there were far too many of them. If he went all out, another ghoul would come out from the ground, replacing its friend.

This happened a few times already and so, Zero gradually lost his spiritual energy. 

"What are they?! They are like skeletons but harder to deal with! These enemies cannot even be touched." Zero was shocked and impressed. This was the first time Zero had seen something like this.

He had killed undead monsters like skeletons. One must crush its head to small fragments so they won't gather its skeletal parts back to one.

Then how about ghouls? They have no physical body and almost the same as a ghost, only ghouls want blood and suck spiritual energy to dry the most by the way
