After I asked to return home, I saw the bird’s three violet eyes shine a little. It said: “You know, the first time I teleported the Codex, you both willingly jumped into the rift I had created and followed me. I can’t be blamed for bringing you on this planet, but I guess I can teleport you all back to your home planet if that’s all you want.”

After a short silence the white bird sighed and then said: “I must say, however, that the time that your friend has as a normal human being will end the moment he meets his parents. His evil alter will fuse with the main alter and he will become a full-fledged demon.”

Once again, I was having a hard time believing the bird’s words. It should be a moment filled with joy if Kyle met his parents. How on earth would it induce a change in his alters?

I asked: “Can you see the future? How can you know for sure what is going to happen to Kyle?”

The white bird smiled but only said: “For me, seeing the future is only one wish away. Well, it’s a good thing that you chose to fuse with the Prime Law of Light. At least you can contain him while he’s still a mortal. If saving him from himself is your desire, then train diligently and reach the Prime God level before your friend becomes a God.”

“I thought that becoming a God is difficult.” I said.

The bird shook its head and the answered: “Not for your friend. In fact, he can’t be considered a god when he levels up as all those who gain mastery over the Prime Law of Darkness are considered demons. Even without having unlocked the Dark Form, a demon’s view of the world is warped by the Darkness energy coursing in their veins. Those who unlock the Dark form are viewed as royalty among the Demons and are stronger than normal Demons. When his Dark form fuses with the main alter, he will become a half-step Demon. By then, it wouldn’t be long before he becomes a complete demon.”

I then expressed my doubts: “But, he comprehended the Prime Law of Sealing. Right now, the main Alter controls the evil Alter through a seal. As I see it, he will never fuse with his dark form.”

“That’s where you’re wrong.” The white bird said. It continued: ”If he suffers a severe mental blow and allows himself to have evil thoughts to a point where he will resonate with the evil alter, there is a chance that the fusion will occur and once the fusion is successful, there will be nothing left to seal.”

I felt powerless for the first time after gaining such strength. I muttered: “I guess it can’t be avoided… but he must meet his parents no matter what and end his status as an orphan. I know it means a lot to him to meet them. I will do my best to protect him from himself…”

In the next second, I found myself outside of the Magus Stone with the white bird’s voice in my head: “Prepare your friends. I will be opening a rift to your home planet shortly.”

I nodded and then entered the giant tent where Kyle and Kelly were sleeping.

I woke them up and explained the situation as well as what had happened to me.

By the time I finished telling my story, a rift appeared before us.

I took a last look at the Magus Stone, bowed towards it and then followed the duo who were eager to meet their parents.
