Chapter 375: Why are you here?
The distorted figures representing the Kingdoms' sentinels were engaged in a heated discussion, their voices echoing through the chamber of distorted realities.
"What is the meaning of this!!!" An angry distorted figure slammed on the table, directing its frustration at another figure.
"As I said before, I didn't do anything!!" The second distorted figure retorted, annoyance evident in its voice.
"But your descendant did though!" The anger in the room was palpable, with accusations flying back and forth.
The pitiful figure representing Theos's Sentinel sighed heavily, feeling the weight of blame unjustly placed on his shoulders. He glanced at the three other distorted figures, each embodying a different Kingdom's sentinel: Dawn, Chola, and the Dragon King, who was also the sentinel of the Iguanas Continent.
The descent of Zeus had caused chaos, and the blame game had begun among the sentinels and all pointing to Theos' Sentinel for not protecting and educating his flesh and blood.
Everyone here was just a distorted clone of Sentinels, their true selves were stationed at their respective Kingdom's doors to prevent movement.
"See! I know they did wrong, but why am I supposed to get yelled at?" Theos's Sentinel protested, frustrated by the situation.
"That's because you didn't stop them," Dawn's Sentinel retorted with equal frustration.
"Sigh.... So what now?" Theos's Sentinel sighed deeply, sensing the gravity of the situation.
"There were cracks that appeared in the doors," Chola's Sentinel spoke with a serious tone, indicating the breach in their defences.
"The time has come, I presume?" The Iguanas's Sentinel sought confirmation.
"Yes, much faster than we predicted," Dawn's Sentinel confirmed, the urgency apparent in their voice.
"Because he descended to our world, right?" The Iguanas's Sentinel sought clarification once more.
"Yes, as soon as he entered our world, the mana around the world got deflected and raged, thus causing cracks in the doors," Chola's Sentinel explained, highlighting the direct consequence of Zeus's arrival and how the door cracked before its very eyes.
"What should we do now? Heroes are not ready yet, and even more, the Hero from the Chola Kingdom is yet to come," Theos's Sentinel voiced the collective concern, a sense of dread hanging over the group.

But then, suddenly, someone appeared at the table, catching the attention of all the sentinels.
"Alden Evergreen," the sentinels muttered in unison.
Alden Evergreen, The only HeadMaster of the Nex Academia sat in one of the six chairs.
Head Master's expression turned horrified as he stammered, "Y-You mean--" but before he could finish, a new voice interrupted.
"Lucifer Dawn is going to be reborn again," the newcomer announced as they materialized in an empty chair before them, sending shockwaves through the already tense gathering.
"Lilith!!" The collective frown deepened as everyone looked at the golden-haired woman sitting on the chair with a nonchalant demeanour, her leg casually resting over the other.
"Your Majesty!!" The Head Master suddenly kneeled on the ground without hesitation, showing utmost respect.
"Why are you here?" Iguanas's Sentinel asked, a hint of suspicion in their frown.
"Why can't I be here?" Lilith countered, her gaze flicking between the distorted figures that wavered like candle flames.
"Lilith!!" Iguanas's Sentinel raised their voice in warning.
Trying to diffuse the tension, Dawn's Sentinel spoke up, "Hello, Lilith, It's been years since we last saw you."
"Hmmm... Yes, it's been years since I saw you, Bitch~" Lilith's smile held a hint of amusement, clearly not one to mince words.
"... Sigh, Rude as ever..." Dawn's Sentinel muttered, then asked, "Why are you here?"
"Hmm? Seriously, why can't I be here? Just like you, I am also a Sentinel who protects the door, You know!!" Lilith replied with a mix of seriousness and nonchalance.
"More like wanting to kill everything inside the door," Iguanas's Sentinel muttered under their breath.
Lilith glanced at the distorted figure but remained silent, letting the tension hang in the air.
"Can't you let him stand, Lilith?" Chola's Sentinel interjected with a hint of pity, pointing at the still-kneeling Head Master.
"Hmm... Nah, Let him kneel. I really hate it when he's at the same level as me," Lilith's words dripped with disdain.
Disregarding the Head Master's trembling form, Lilith placed a glass jar on the table.
"Hmm?" Everyone tilted their heads in curiosity.
"The remnant of Zeus's Power...." Lilith announced with a casual flick of her hand towards the jar, her expression unreadable as she observed their reactions.
Shock and disbelief spread across everyone's face as they one by one inspected the white ethereal thread inside the jar, realizing the significance of this fragment of power.
"If you harness this power," Lilith continued, her tone taking on a more serious note, "then there's no need for you to remain stationed here to protect the door... You can roam freely and still safeguard the door from anywhere," Lilith explained, a mischievous grin playing on her lips as she anticipated their reactions.
