**[00:00] NA**
Previously on Teogonia.
**[00:06] (Flashback) ADOHRA-KAHN**
How dare you?!
***SIGN*** Truthseeker
**[01:55] NA**
"Truthseeker".
**[01:59] POREK**
My lord. My lord.
**[02:07] KAI**
Oh, it's you guys.
**[02:09] KAI**
What happened?
**[02:11] KECHAK**
We could ask you the same thing.
**[02:14] KECHAK**
After eating the armored warrior's godstone,
there was a sudden gust of wind.
**[02:18] KECHAK**
I've never seen anything like it.
**[02:20] KAI**
So whatever that was,
it was something incredible...
**[02:24] POREK**
This armored warrior...
**[02:26] POREK**
Someone as strong as Adohra-khan must
have a powerful land god as well.
**[02:32] POREK**
But you took his godstone and severed
Adohra-kahn's connection to his god.
**[02:39] KAI**
I took his power, huh?
**[02:43] POREK**
The strange event that just took place
may have been the god screaming.
**[02:49] KAI**
Is the power granted by gods so extraordinary
that it can cause that sort of thing?
**[02:56] KAI**
How am I supposed to use
this power going forward?
**[03:04] KAI**
By the way, did you guys notice it?
**[03:06] POREK**
What?
**[03:07] KAI**
While we were fighting...
**[03:11] KAI**
I felt an unpleasant gaze,
like we were being watched.
**[03:15] POREK**
I felt it, too.
**[03:17] KAI**
I knew it.
**[03:18] POREK**
I ignored it since
I didn't detect any hostility,
**[03:22] POREK**
but I don't know what that was.
**[03:31] POREK**
We're returning to the valley.
**[03:34] KAI**
Be careful.
**[03:35] POREK**
Yes, my lord.
**[03:42] KAI**
Oh, right.
**[03:45] KAI**
These things saved me.
**[03:48] KAI**
Thanks, Elsa.
**[03:53] KAI**
These are rice balls, huh?
**[04:05] MANSO**
Kai? You're back.
**[04:08] TURAL**
Kai!
**[04:09] TURAL**
Lady Jose collapsed!
**[04:10] KAI**
What?!
**[04:16] KAI**
What happened to her?
**[04:18] MANSO**
She developed a fever and suddenly collapsed.
**[04:21] KAI**
What's this mark?
**[04:22] NADA**
I believe I recognize it.
**[04:24] KAI**
What?
**[04:25] NADA**
Kai, what did you learn about the orgs?
**[04:27] KAI**
What matters more right now is—
**[04:29] NADA**
We'll take Lady Jose home right away.
**[04:32] NADA**
So, the orgs?
**[04:33] KAI**
By the time I found them,
they'd already been defeated by someone else.
**[04:37] AKIZA & RAHAT**
What?!
**[04:38] TURAL**
You're kidding, right?
**[04:39] KAI**
There was an org corpse wearing
armor, probably a captain.
**[04:44] KAI**
The other soldiers were already gone.
Maybe they fled.
**[04:49] AKIZA**
Would the defeat of their captain
be enough to make them run off?
**[04:52] RAHAT**
Yeah, if their commander was a guardian bearer.
**[04:57] NADA**
Then taking Lady Jose back
to the village comes first.
**[05:01] NADA**
Let's return to Lag Village.
**[05:15] NADA**
You have blood on you.
**[05:17] KAI**
Huh?
**[05:20] KAI**
I probably got it on me while
running through a pool of blood.
**[05:24] NADA**
Is that right?
**[05:30] TURAL**
What is this?
**[05:32] CARICK**
Were they attacked by macaques?
**[05:34] RAHAT**
While we were pursuing the orgs?
**[05:37] MANSO**
Kai, go scout ahead.
**[05:40] MANSO**
We can't take Lady Jose into
the village like this.
**[05:43] KAI**
Got it.
**[05:48] LAG SOLDIER A**
Someone bring me something
to bind this wound!
**[05:50] LAG SOLDIER B**
Take these people to the barracks!
**[05:54] BASCO**
Ah, Kai! You've returned.
**[05:56] KAI**
Master Basco, what happened here?
**[05:59] BASCO**
We were attacked by macaques.
**[06:01] KAI**
So much destruction...
**[06:03] BASCO**
They attacked with unbelievable numbers.
**[06:05] BASCO**
Thanks to the baron, we just barely
drove them off, but as you can see,
**[06:09] BASCO**
the village was badly damaged.
**[06:13] KAI**
This is awful.
**[06:15] BASCO**
Macaques are skilled rock-throwers.
**[06:18] BASCO**
Kai!
**[06:19] BASCO**
Kai!
**[06:30] KAI**
Elsa!
**[06:32] ELSA**
Kai!
**[06:34] ELSA**
Kai.
**[06:39] ELSA**
I'm glad you're safe.
**[06:41] KAI**
Yeah.
**[06:44] VEZIN**
Jose!
**[06:47] VEZIN**
You, too?
**[06:50] NADA**
Lord Vezin, her symptoms probably indicate...
**[06:53] VEZIN**
I know what it is and who did this to them.
**[07:02] MANSO**
Lord Olha, too?
**[07:03] VEZIN**
How dare those apes do this
to both of my children?
**[07:18] LAG SOLDIER C**
There's even more of them
now with reinforcements.
**[07:21] LAG SOLDIER D**
They're planning to attack again.
**[07:30] ELSA**
Thank you.
**[07:32] KAI**
I can't believe the damage extends
this deep into the village.
**[07:35] ELSA**
I evacuated here with my
mother and younger sister.
**[07:40] ELSA**
I was scared, but recalling
your face made me feel safe.
**[07:45] OLD WOMAN**
I should go now.
**[07:48] OLD WOMAN**
Thank you.
**[07:50] ELSA**
Be careful.
**[07:54] KAI**
Oh, right. I need to thank you, Elsa.
**[07:57] ELSA**
Huh?
**[07:58] KAI**
Thanks to your rice balls, I...
**[08:01] KAI**
Manso.
**[08:02] MANSO**
There you are.
**[08:04] MANSO**
The baron wants to see you.
**[08:08] VEZIN**
I see. Then the orgs are no longer a threat.
**[08:13] KAI**
Yes.
**[08:15] KAI**
I can't believe what's happened to not
only Lady Jose, but Lord Olha as well.
**[08:21] NADA**
This is the result of a curse being
cast on the land gods' gravestones.
**[08:25] KAI**
A curse?
**[08:26] VEZIN**
It was the macaques.
**[08:29] VEZIN**
They took out our most powerful combatants
so they could attack the village.
**[08:34] VEZIN**
Not only that, but according to our scouts,
the next attack should come soon.
**[08:40] NADA**
Lord Olha will be able to fight
once more if we dispel the curse.
**[08:45] NADA**
Kai, I'd like you to join me in dispelling it.
**[08:50] KAI**
We're going to remove the curse, right?
**[08:53] NADA**
I'd like you to escort me.
**[08:56] KAI**
Why me?
**[08:57] NADA**
Because I believe in your strength.
**[09:02] VEZIN**
You'll be going to the abandoned villages
where you tend the graves every month.
**[09:08] VEZIN**
Lord Olha's god is in Elg Village,
and Jose's god is in Eda Village.
**[09:14] VEZIN**
Lag Village's survival depends
on this mission. Got it?
**[09:17] VEZIN**
We're in a race against time.
**[09:19] VEZIN**
We're counting on you, Kai.
**[09:25] KAI**
Yes, sir.
**[09:30] GANDAL**
More! Bring me more to drink!
**[09:32] LADIES**
R-Right away, sir!
**[09:40] GANDAL**
Why are you looking at me
like that, you swine?
**[09:44] KAI**
The lord inspector is a guardian bearer.
Couldn't he at least help us?
**[09:49] NADA**
I wish he would.
**[09:54] NADA**
I'll meet you at the north gate
once you're ready.
**[09:56] KAI**
Yes, sir.
**[10:01] KAI**
Are you there, Elsa?
**[10:03] ELSA**
Kai?
**[10:04] ELSA**
What is it?
**[10:05] KAI**
Those rice balls were great.
**[10:08] KAI**
They saved me out there.
**[10:10] ELSA**
Really? That's great.
**[10:12] KAI**
But I have to go again.
**[10:15] ELSA**
What?
**[10:15] KAI**
But don't worry.
This time, I'll come back right away.
**[10:19] KAI**
Once this is over,
I'll take you someplace special.
**[10:23] KAI**
We can eat rice balls there together.
**[10:26] ELSA**
Okay. I'll be waiting.
**[10:33] KAI**
I'll be back.
**[10:38] KAI**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[10:41] KAI**
What's that?
**[10:42] NADA**
Something from Lord Vezin.
**[10:44] NADA**
We need it to dispel the curse.
**[10:47] NADA**
Did you go see someone?
**[10:49] KAI**
It's not like that.
**[10:53] NADA**
Within these gates are the
worldly life I left far behind.
**[11:01] NADA**
I was the second son of an impoverished noble.
**[11:05] NADA**
I studied hard so I could
inherit my family's god,
**[11:10] NADA**
but I wasn't chosen to be a guardian bearer.
**[11:15] NADA**
As I no longer belonged at home,
I went to the monastery.
**[11:20] NADA**
After that, I began training every day.
**[11:23] NADA**
A life filled with love, joy,
and sometimes sadness...
**[11:30] NADA**
That is what we must protect.
**[11:33] KAI**
Sir priest...
**[11:36] NADA**
Let's go.
**[11:55] NADA**
That's Elg Village, where Lord
Olha's land god is enshrined.
**[11:59] KAI**
Yeah.
**[12:01] KAI**
How many macaque guards are there?
**[12:03] NADA**
I'll take a look.
**[12:05] KAI**
What?
**[12:10] KAI**
It's that same feeling of
being watched as back then.
**[12:13] NADA**
Back when?
**[12:14] KAI**
Oh, uh...
**[12:16] NADA**
This ability is called hundred eyes.
**[12:18] NADA**
It's a secret technique
I learned at the monastery.
**[12:21] NADA**
I can see anything, no matter how far away.
**[12:28] NADA**
I saw the situation in Elg Village.
**[12:31] NADA**
There are five guards.
**[12:32] NADA**
Shall we go?
**[13:03] KAI**
Impressive, sir priest!
**[13:06] NADA**
You've finally revealed it.
**[13:08] KAI**
Huh? Oh!
**[13:10] NADA**
I'd been wanting to see that with my own eyes.
**[13:14] NADA**
Allow me to reintroduce myself.
**[13:16] NADA**
I am truthseeker Nada, dispatched by
Maas to seek the truth about gods.
**[13:25] NADA**
Please forgive me for my rudeness.
**[13:28] NADA**
I ask that you use the power of your savage
god to benefit the Unified Kingdom of men.
**[13:37] KAI**
Please stand.
**[13:39] KAI**
Come on. We've got to lift Lord Olha's curse.
**[13:41] NADA**
By your leave.
**[13:56] NADA**
The Unified Kingdom of men
needs a new and powerful god.
**[14:01] KAI**
Did you bring me here to discuss this?
**[14:05] NADA**
Kai, do you know why we need a powerful god?
**[14:09] KAI**
To make the kingdom stronger, right?
**[14:15] NADA**
Allow me to be honest with you.
**[14:18] NADA**
Our Unified Kingdom is declining
with each passing year.
**[14:25] KAI**
Impossible.
**[14:26] NADA**
Sir Gandal is a good example of it.
**[14:29] NADA**
The guardian bearers of the central plain
**[14:31] NADA**
who support the king drown in
excess and forget their studies.
**[14:35] NADA**
As a result, the power of the gods
supporting the king has weakened greatly.
**[14:41] NADA**
If the kingdom were as strong as it once was,
**[14:45] NADA**
an army could've been dispatched immediately to
retake this village instead of abandoning it.
**[14:51] KAI**
The kingdom is weakening?
**[14:54] NADA**
The number of tragedies
like the one that happened
**[14:56] NADA**
in this village will continue to increase.
**[15:00] NADA**
Our decaying mausoleum can hardly
support the king anymore.
**[15:07] NADA**
We must adopt new gods, even if it means
**[15:11] NADA**
tearing down the existing
hierarchy within the kingdom.
**[15:19] NADA**
Olha masa, lag zo lag.
**[15:25] KAI**
What's that?
**[15:28] NADA**
The god of this village serves
the god of Lag Village.
**[15:32] NADA**
It is the blood of its
guardian bearer, Lord Vezin.
**[15:40] NADA**
The dispelling ritual is complete.
**[15:47] NADA**
Great change is coming to our world.
**[15:52] NADA**
The macaques sought to take Lag Village by
**[15:56] NADA**
cursing the gravestones and
disabling the guardian bearers.
**[15:59] NADA**
They were so desperate that they were
**[16:05] NADA**
willing to weaken the land
gods and impoverish the land.
**[16:08] KAI**
Desperate?
**[16:10] NADA**
According to my research, the macaque
nation currently faces a great threat.
**[16:16] NADA**
One that prevents them from
continuing to live there.
**[16:20] NADA**
I believe the macaques are invading
to find a new place to live.
**[16:29] NADA**
The same is true of the orgs we were pursuing.
**[16:32] KAI**
The orgs are desperate, too?
**[16:35] NADA**
I hear they are threatened by
strange beings from the north.
**[16:40] NADA**
They needed the power of
a new god to stop them.
**[16:45] KAI**
That's why they sent
a Rigdaros like Adohra-kahn.
**[16:49] NADA**
At this rate, with such
great change approaching,
**[16:54] NADA**
the kingdom of men could be destroyed as well.
**[16:58] NADA**
Do you understand, Kai?
**[17:00] NADA**
Could you lend the kingdom your god's
strength to save a million lives?
**[17:07] KAI**
Sir priest...
**[17:09] GOD**
*Kill him!*
**[17:12] NADA**
Kai?
**[17:13] GOD**
*Kill him! Kill him!*
**[17:18] KAI**
This is all too much. Let me think about it.
**[17:22] NADA**
Very well.
**[17:24] NADA**
We head to Eda Village next.
**[17:25] NADA**
I'd like a response by the time
we dispel the curse there.
**[17:38] AKUI**
What? The young lord's marks are receding.
**[17:41] VEZIN**
Olha is?
**[17:42] BASCO**
Yes, though he's still unconscious.
**[17:46] VEZIN**
I see. Then Sir Nada is succeeding.
**[17:50] VEZIN**
If Olha can fight, our forces
will be significantly stronger.
**[18:27] KAI/ID**
* This god's power is so incredible*
* that I wasn't sure how to use it.*
**[18:34] KAI/ID**
*But if it's to save the kingdom of men...*
**[18:38] KAI/ID**
* So there will be no more*
* villages like this one...*
**[18:41] KAI/ID**
*That could be a good way to use it.*
**[18:44] KAI/ID**
*But why is the valley god angry?*
**[18:48] NADA**
Have you gathered your thoughts?
**[18:51] KAI**
No...
**[18:52] NADA**
If your god joins the kingdom's mausoleum,
you will gain the favor of the god king as well.
**[18:59] NADA**
Your power will increase even further.
**[19:02] NADA**
Then you could easily save
the people of Lag Village.
**[19:10] NADA**
And the people important
to you as well, of course.
**[19:22] NADA**
What is it?
**[19:24] KAI**
What if there are people I need
to protect besides Lag Village?
**[19:31] NADA**
Ah, you mean the koror?
They were at that battle.
**[19:36] KAI**
I have a responsibility to protect them, too.
**[19:40] NADA**
Have they already devoted themselves to you?
**[19:44] KAI**
Yeah.
**[19:47] NADA**
I ask that you abandon them.
**[19:50] KAI**
What?
**[19:51] KAI**
Why do I have to do that?
**[19:54] NADA**
The kingdom's mausoleum cannot
accept lowly demi-human devotees.
**[19:59] NADA**
Humans are born human and
tested by the heavens.
**[20:03] NADA**
The idea of associating with other
species is out of the question.
**[20:07] KAI**
They're not lowly!
**[20:12] NADA**
I ask that you offer all of your god's
power to the Unified Kingdom alone.
**[20:19] KAI**
If that's the case, then I can't do it.
**[20:23] KAI**
Guardian bearers
**[20:25] KAI**
have a responsibility to protect the
land god and the people who live there.
**[20:29] KAI**
I can't serve the kingdom if it means
abandoning the people who look up to me.
**[20:34] NADA**
Would anything change your mind?
**[20:37] KAI**
No. I flatly refuse your request.
**[20:41] NADA**
You're stubborn, aren't you?
**[20:44] NADA**
It doesn't seem as though
I can change your mind.
**[20:48] NADA**
So I will give up.
**[20:50] NADA**
I will find a way to explain this to Maas.
**[20:54] KAI**
Sir priest...
**[20:59] GUARDIAN MACAQUE A**
Fouba ruo.
**[21:00] GUARDIAN MACAQUE B**
Zugiya takademun ragderag.
**[21:09] NADA**
Now then, I wonder what's
happening in Lag Village.
**[21:13] KAI**
I just hope they haven't been attacked yet.
**[21:17] KAI**
I'm worried about Lady Jose,
Elsa, and the others.
**[21:20] KAI**
Let's hurry back.
**[21:27] KAI**
Huh?
**[21:34] KAI**
Wh-What are you...
**[21:42] OLHA**
We must defeat the macaques...
**[21:44] AKUI**
Young lord! Please wake up!
**[23:25] SIGN**
Next Time
**[23:26] NA**
In destruction and slaughter, both winners
and losers end up in the same place.
**[23:33] NA**
Next time, "To Ispi Rio".
**[23:35] NA**
What waits for them at the end?
**[23:37] SIGN**
To Ispi Rio
