[00:03] ---
    Well, that left me speechless.
    Right, Chief?
[00:06] ---
    Wounded or not, to think that he dispatched
    the Heavenly Father God NousGalia just like that!
[00:11] ---
    I can see why he’s the Demon King’s
    right-hand man.
[00:15] ---
    Is NousGalia still in Aharthern?
[00:17] ---
    Yes. But he’s on the brink of death.
    Which was also part of the plan.
[00:23] ---
    I just don’t understand gods.
[00:26] ---
    But divine power is absolute.
[00:29] ---
    So the Blaze Death King can simply assume
    the Heavenly Father God’s identity.
[00:33] ---
    I thought that the spell
    to usurp divine power was still incomplete?
[00:37] ---
    It’s sufficient. Avos Dilhevia should
    be able to complete it.
[00:43] ---
    Using the Hero Kanon’s plan?
[00:46] ---
    NousGalia is attempting to produce an entity
    that’s both the Child of God and a Great Spirit.
[00:51] ---
    The Demon King of Tyranny,
    Avos Dilhevia.
[00:55] ---
    In other words, you’re going
    to borrow the fake Demon King’s power...
[00:59] ---
    ...to possess NousGalia instead?
[01:01] ---
    If circumstances call for it.
[01:07] ---
    The Hero is about to come face
    to face with the Great Spirit Mother...
[01:09] ---
    ...and the Demon King’s right-hand man.
[01:12] ---
    Now, then... I wonder how that meeting will go?
[01:21] ---
    From what he just said, seems like Kanon
    has started spreading rumors about Avos Dilhevia.
[01:26] ---
    It won’t be long.
[01:27] ---
    Considering it’s a half-spirit,
    half-demon life form, most likely...
[01:31] ---
    Then... what about Leno?
[01:33] ---
    Don’t avert your gaze, Misha.
[01:35] ---
    That’s precisely why we came all this way—
    to see this through.
[01:42] ---
    I respectfully decline.
[01:43] ---
    Shin Reglia. This is how we can save
    the Demon King... Anos.
[01:48] ---
    09 - A PRAYER FOR TWO THOUSAND YEARS LATER
[01:48] ---
    The humans are preparing to kill Anos
    when he reincarnates 2,000 years from now.
[01:53] ---
    Knowing him, he’ll handle them
    with contemptuous ease.
[01:56] ---
    But would you force the Demon King to attack
    humans again, when he doesn’t wish to fight?
[02:01] ---
    When he’s reincarnated, I want the world
    that he sees to be a peaceful one.
[02:05] ---
    To make sure that happens,
    I’ll play the role of the Demon King.
[02:08] ---
    With you as my right-hand man—
[02:09] ---
    No matter the circumstances, do you think
    that I’d kneel down before a fake Demon King?
[02:15] ---
    If you’re by my side, everyone will believe
    Avos Dilhevia to be the true Demon King.
[02:21] ---
    If you really care about Anos...
[02:24] ---
    It doesn’t matter who schemes against him.
    My lord will overcome them all.
[02:29] ---
    And he will lose nothing.
[02:32] ---
    You’d leave it all to him just because
    he’s transcended us all?
[02:36] ---
    It’s because we’re so weak...
[02:38] ---
    It’s because we weren’t strong enough
    to stop the hatred...
[02:41] ---
    ...that his only choice was solitary slumber!
[02:44] ---
    I’ll make amends for it all 2,000 years from now
    with my death at the hands of the humans.
[02:49] ---
    Surely that should stop this chain of enmity.
[02:54] ---
    I promised him. That the next time we
    were reborn, it would be as friends.
[03:00] ---
    I...
[03:02] ---
    I want to be worthy of calling myself
    his friend the next time I stand before him.
[03:09] ---
    Whatever happens, I would never turn
    a blind eye to a bogus Demon King.
[03:16] ---
    That said, your reckless plan
    will never succeed.
[03:21] ---
    I will reincarnate myself.
    I will follow my lord 2,000 years into the future.
[03:26] ---
    I guess that means that he can’t help you,
    but he won’t thwart you, either?
[03:36] ---
    Thanks.
[03:37] ---
    You’ve changed a little, Kanon.
[03:40] ---
    You used to always have
    an anguished look on your face,
[03:42] ---
    but now it looks like
    you’ve gotten over it.
[03:45] ---
    If that’s true,
    then it must be thanks to Anos.
[03:48] ---
    Is it thanks to you that he changed?
[03:52] ---
    What?
[03:53] ---
    I came here expecting to be slashed...
[03:55] ---
    But I’ve never seen him so devoid
    of murderous intent.
[03:58] ---
    Is that right? Maybe teaching him
    about love is paying off?
[04:02] ---
    You’re teaching him?
[04:06] ---
    Oh, right. You know, I didn’t think that
    the Great Spirit Mother would ever fall in love.
[04:16] ---
    Love...
[04:18] ---
    I see, so it’s love!
[04:24] ---
    Shin!
[04:26] ---
    What’s the matter?
[04:27] ---
    I know now.
    I know what it is, Shin!
[04:30] ---
    I’m in love with you, Shin.
[04:33] ---
    It was love all along.
    I’ve fallen in love with you, Shin.
[04:36] ---
    Whenever I’m with you,
    I always feel different.
[04:41] ---
    When you told me
    that you didn’t know what love was,
[04:43] ---
    it made my heart ache...
[04:45] ---
    ...and when you watered the flowers,
    I couldn’t stop smiling...
[04:50] ---
    You always make me feel like a new person.
[04:54] ---
    Someone who’s not the Great Spirit Mother.
[04:59] ---
    Is that annoying?
[05:02] ---
    There is no love in me.
[05:06] ---
    But you’ve filled the emptiness
    inside me just a bit.
[05:11] ---
    The days I’ve spent with you here...
[05:13] ---
    It’s like I was given a scabbard
    during that time. I am grateful.
[05:17] ---
    No, no, that’s all right.
[05:19] ---
    And today those days will come to an end.
[05:22] ---
    What?
[05:23] ---
    I’ve eradicated the final Divine Beast Gwen.
[05:26] ---
    And NousGalia is now only half-alive.
[05:28] ---
    He no longer has sufficient strength
    to lay a hand on you.
[05:31] ---
    So you’re going to reincarnate yourself? When?
[05:36] ---
    The Hero Kanon will soon start spreading
    rumors about the fake Demon King.
[05:40] ---
    Before that happens...
    I will be heading to Dilhade.
[05:44] ---
    But I... I finally realized...
[05:48] ---
    Forgive me. My lord awaits me,
    2,000 years in the future.
[05:55] ---
    That’s not fair.
[05:58] ---
    Not fair? How?
[05:59] ---
    Because the Demon King got
    to be with you for a long time, right?
[06:03] ---
    I only just met you the other day.
[06:05] ---
    How can I ever top that?
[06:08] ---
    Then as a token of my gratitude,
    and to keep it fair,
[06:11] ---
    I shall give you something
    to take to the place of those days.
[06:14] ---
    What are you going to give me?
[06:16] ---
    Whatever you wish.
[06:20] ---
    Then, Shin...
[06:22] ---
    Um... could you... marry me?
[06:31] ---
    Understood.
[06:36] ---
    Then go on now. I’ll be waiting here
    for 2,000 years... until you return.
[06:44] ---
    Leno.
[06:45] ---
    Which style of wedding do you prefer?
[06:48] ---
    Don’t you have to leave now?
[06:50] ---
    My lord says that all married people
    must have held a marriage ceremony.
[06:55] ---
    Okay, then, I think I’d like the Aharthern style.
[07:00] ---
    Very well.
[07:02] ---
    Okay.
[07:12] ---
    - Wedding!
    - Wedding!
[07:14] ---
    So joyous!
[07:16] ---
    Congratulations!
[07:18] ---
    Beautiful.
[07:20] ---
    But they sure got married fast, huh?
[07:25] ---
    If only Anos could’ve been here, too.
[07:28] ---
    Agreed... however...
[07:31] ---
    He may be watching from 2,000 years in the future.
[07:34] ---
    After all, my lord is the Demon King of Tyranny.
[07:37] ---
    A Spirit and a Demon joined in matrimony.
[07:40] ---
    Let us be thankful that we were able
    to be here at such a momentous time.
[07:44] ---
    Great Spirit Mother Leno.
    Do you take Shin Reglia as your husband,
[07:49] ---
    and promise in the name of the spirits
    to devote yourself to him with unwavering faith...
[07:54] ---
    ...until this lore expires?
[07:58] ---
    I do.
[07:59] ---
    Shin Reglia, the Demon King’s right-hand man.
[08:02] ---
    Do you take the Great Spirit Leno as your wife,
[08:05] ---
    and with the pride and willpower of the demon clan,
[08:08] ---
    do you promise to protect her as you would
    your own country with unwavering faith?
[08:15] ---
    Even if we are separated by destruction.
[08:18] ---
    The husband of the Great Spirit Mother Leno,
    the Spirit King, Shin Reglia, has now been created.
[08:25] ---
    And now, you may kiss to seal these promises.
[08:31] ---
    You can just pretend.
[08:32] ---
    You want me to pretend?
[08:36] ---
    Well, I’d rather you didn’t.
[08:40] ---
    Then that’s what I’ll do.
[08:44] ---
    I love you.
[08:48] ---
    I...
[08:50] ---
    It’s okay. Because I love you enough
    for both of us.
[08:55] ---
    I don’t understand what love is yet...
[08:58] ---
    But I have chosen you, Leno.
[09:10] ---
    What a commotion, right?
    These Spirit-style weddings.
[09:13] ---
    It’s a more solemn affair for you demons,
    so it must’ve surprised you.
[09:17] ---
    I am not averse to it.
[09:19] ---
    As someone who knows nothing of love,
    I am grateful to you...
[09:23] ---
    ...for allowing me to dream like this.
[09:24] ---
    Uh... I’m sure it’s not as if you know nothing.
[09:29] ---
    There’s a tiny, tiny bud inside your heart, Shin,
    and one day, it will bloom.
[09:38] ---
    I only wish that I could’ve continued
    to dream like this forever.
[09:41] ---
    What?
[09:42] ---
    But the wedding has ended without a hitch.
[09:47] ---
    Uh, wait...
[09:48] ---
    Not yet!
[09:51] ---
    Not over yet.
[09:52] ---
    Wedding night! Wedding night!
[09:54] ---
    Hey, you! Tithis!
[09:57] ---
    Retreat! Retreat!
[09:59] ---
    Have a good one!
[10:04] ---
    Oh, uh... listen...
[10:06] ---
    Yes?
[10:07] ---
    I mean, it is our wedding night.
[10:10] ---
    But it’s okay if you just want to sleep.
[10:13] ---
    Then do you wish to go to bed now?
[10:15] ---
    Uh... why don’t we chat for a bit?
[10:18] ---
    I’d like to hear about
    how you and Anos met.
[10:22] ---
    It’s not really that interesting a story.
[10:31] ---
    During the Great War,
    I had already acquired a physical body...
[10:35] ---
    ...and was testing my skills
    against some eminent demons.
[10:39] ---
    Every one of my opponents felt like
    a weakling to me.
[10:43] ---
    They all had love...
[10:44] ---
    ...which just wasn’t suitable for battle.
[10:47] ---
    I may have wielded such power because
    I had no love in my heart.
[10:52] ---
    Each victory felt empty to me,
    and I constantly felt parched.
[10:57] ---
    For what, I had no way of knowing at the time.
[11:02] ---
    And then one day, I found myself facing off
    against someone known as the Demon King.
[11:12] ---
    I unleashed one hundred swords,
[11:14] ---
    but I never got close
    to slashing the Demon King.
[11:18] ---
    For the first time ever,
    I found myself interested in my enemy.
[11:23] ---
    What makes you strong?
[11:25] ---
    I have to be strong to save everyone.
[11:28] ---
    Tell me, what makes you so strong?
[11:31] ---
    No reason at all.
[11:34] ---
    Come serve me.
[11:36] ---
    I’ll give you an opponent worthy
    of being slashed by your sword.
[11:43] ---
    I realized then for the first time...
[11:46] ---
    That I had been seeking a master worthy
    of owning me... the evil god-killing sword.
[11:55] ---
    Anos sure is amazing.
[11:57] ---
    My lord gave me a reason to fight,
[12:01] ---
    and welcomed me into the clan as a demon.
[12:04] ---
    To repay him for that kindness,
    I became the Demon King’s right-hand man.
[12:10] ---
    I see.
[12:12] ---
    No wonder you want to go after him
    and reincarnate yourself.
[12:20] ---
    Um... listen, Shin.
[12:22] ---
    I... I don’t think I want
    to just sleep tonight, after all.
[12:28] ---
    I may end up hurting you...
    if it’s love that you seek.
[12:34] ---
    Don’t worry about it!
[13:02] ---
    Leno!
[13:04] ---
    I heard that you suddenly collapsed.
[13:07] ---
    Yes. Maybe I got too carried away?
[13:11] ---
    Enyunien’s taking a look at me now.
[13:14] ---
    Hmm... how am I supposed to explain this?
[13:18] ---
    What’s the matter?
[13:20] ---
    The thing is... Lady Leno,
    it seems as if you’re with child.
[13:25] ---
    What?
[13:26] ---
    I can sense a demon’s magic power from you.
[13:30] ---
    There’s no question,
    it’s your child with the Spirit King.
[13:34] ---
    But I thought spirits and demons
    could never have children together?
[13:38] ---
    Hmm... that’s what I always believed...
    but facts are facts.
[13:44] ---
    I see.
[13:46] ---
    But the rumors and lore that make up
    this child’s source are still tiny and weak.
[13:52] ---
    I’m sure that they’re newborn rumors.
[13:56] ---
    I can’t even get a sense
    of what kind of rumors they are.
[13:59] ---
    Your source is compensating
    for what the child lacks.
[14:04] ---
    That must be why you collapsed.
[14:06] ---
    You must find and spread these rumors
    and lore within ten months and ten days,
[14:11] ---
    or else the child may expire soon after birth.
[14:16] ---
    That’s a relief.
[14:17] ---
    What do you mean?
[14:19] ---
    Well, we have ten months and ten days.
[14:21] ---
    That should be more than enough time.
[14:24] ---
    Because I’m the Great Spirit Mother.
[14:28] ---
    Thank you, Shin!
[14:31] ---
    Why?
[14:32] ---
    Because this child is the love you gave me.
[14:36] ---
    A miracle that your love brought about.
[14:39] ---
    You made sure that I wouldn’t feel lonely.
[14:43] ---
    I want you to name the child.
[14:46] ---
    If it’s a boy, Gord.
    If it’s a girl... Misa.
[14:51] ---
    Those are both good names!
[14:54] ---
    Leno... if you want, I—
[14:57] ---
    No way am I ever going to say, “Don’t go.”
[15:01] ---
    My husband is the Demon King’s right-hand man.
[15:04] ---
    More loyal than anyone else in the world.
[15:06] ---
    You of all people would never stand by
    and let the fake Demon King’s rumors spread.
[15:14] ---
    I am grateful to you.
[15:27] ---
    Shin!
[15:30] ---
    “The Love Fairy, Fran,
    lends physical bodies to the dead.”
[15:34] ---
    “The reincarnated lose their memories,
    but only those who share true love...”
[15:39] ---
    “...are able to remember
    and convey those memories.”
[15:42] ---
    Why are you giving this to me?
[15:44] ---
    See, this is a Spirit spell.
[15:47] ---
    So that we can be reunited in 2,000 years.
    Whatever you do, don’t lose it!
[15:52] ---
    I promise not to.
[15:54] ---
    I’ll be waiting for you with this child.
    Go on—see you later!
[15:59] ---
    I will return without fail.
[16:21] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[16:23] ---
    About what?
[16:25] ---
    Great Spirit Mother Leno...
[16:27] ---
    Your lore states that you are ever
    and always solely the mother of all spirits.
[16:35] ---
    But that child is a half-demon.
[16:38] ---
    If you give birth to it, it will contradict your
    rumors and lore, and you’ll die as a result.
[16:45] ---
    I’m going to have this child.
    No matter what.
[16:48] ---
    You must protect whomever
    it is that you wish to protect.
[16:53] ---
    2,000 years from now,
    when he hears of your demise,
[16:57] ---
    it may cause the Spirit King much sorrow.
[17:01] ---
    We can just let Shin cry, then.
[17:04] ---
    If he does,
    then I’m sure it’ll hit him.
[17:07] ---
    That he did love me.
[17:09] ---
    Though that might be
    a mean way of looking at it.
[17:12] ---
    I’ve fallen in love.
    So I want him to love me, too.
[17:17] ---
    If I’m going to make that big lunk look my way,
    then the least I can do is risk my life.
[17:22] ---
    Hmm...
[17:23] ---
    Don’t worry. We’ve already witnessed one miracle,
    so why shouldn’t there—
[17:29] ---
    The evil god-killing sword gave you love?
[17:34] ---
    That’s beyond comical!
[17:39] ---
    Don’t do it!
[17:40] ---
    You can’t reincarnate!
[17:41] ---
    Where have you been hiding yourselves?
[17:43] ---
    Inside the page!
[17:44] ---
    Let’s head back to Aharthern!
[17:45] ---
    We’ve got to go back!
[17:47] ---
    If this is another one of your pranks—
[17:48] ---
    She’s going to vanish!
[17:49] ---
    Leno’s going to disappear!
[17:52] ---
    Leno...
[17:55] ---
    NousGalia.
[17:58] ---
    Great Spirit Mother Leno.
[18:00] ---
    Let me enlighten you, ignorant one.
[18:03] ---
    I told that evil god-killing sword.
[18:07] ---
    He seems to think that he slashed my words.
    But a god’s words are absolute.
[18:14] ---
    What are you talking about?
[18:15] ---
    It’s not love that causes miracles to happen.
[18:19] ---
    The love that the evil god-killing sword yearned for...
[18:22] ---
    ...the love that the Great Spirit Mother Leno
    came to know...
[18:25] ---
    Not to mention the miraculous seed
    that you’re carrying...
[18:28] ---
    All exist thanks to the Heavenly God Father’s order.
[18:32] ---
    That’s a lie.
[18:33] ---
    That child is not Shin Reglia’s.
    His body was used as a medium.
[18:38] ---
    You’re wrong!
    This child is mine and Shin’s for sure!
[18:45] ---
    This is the page that was added.
[18:48] ---
    Avos Dilhevia... spirit...?
[18:52] ---
    I’m sure you can see it clearly.
[18:55] ---
    That this child’s source is comprised
    of the fake Demon King’s rumors and lore.
[19:01] ---
    Now, then! The Child of God, who will destroy
    the Demon King Anos, is about to be born!
[19:09] ---
    Stop it... if they’re born now,
    they won’t survive! Oh...
[19:15] ---
    No! No, you can’t do this! Not yet!
[19:20] ---
    Her source and her magic power are still weak.
    Do nothing, and she’ll be destroyed.
[19:26] ---
    What will you do,
    Great Spirit Mother Leno?
[19:31] ---
    Please... be born...
    The spirit who can save this child...
[19:41] ---
    There you are!
    Please, Ezyssey, the Spring of Time!
[19:46] ---
    Please take her with you...
    where she can live...
[19:50] ---
    Because the Demon King will surely save her
    2,000 years from now...
[19:59] ---
    I’m sorry... that I couldn’t even hold you in my arms.
[20:04] ---
    That child is neither this love that you speak of,
    nor Shin Reglia’s child.
[20:08] ---
    So why would you save her?
[20:11] ---
    According to the divine word,
    you are the mother of the Child of God and—
[20:17] ---
    Evil god-killing sword...
    it’s no use killing me now...
[20:24] ---
    Leno!
[20:25] ---
    Shin...
[20:27] ---
    Please forgive me.
[20:28] ---
    Thank you... for protecting me.
[20:32] ---
    Sorry... Shin... I lied to you.
[20:37] ---
    It wasn’t love...
    it wasn’t a miracle at all...
[20:42] ---
    She wasn’t your child...
[20:45] ---
    I couldn’t teach you love...
    I’m sorry.
[20:50] ---
    That child will be going 2,000 years into the future.
[20:54] ---
    If she ever poses a threat to the peace of the world...
    please kill her yourself...
[21:00] ---
    Understood.
[21:02] ---
    I will protect her, no matter what.
[21:05] ---
    I will create a world in which she can survive,
    even 2,000 years from now.
[21:09] ---
    But... you can’t...
[21:11] ---
    That child’s rumors
    and lore are Avos Dilhevia’s...
[21:15] ---
    I can’t let you...
    I can’t let you do that, Shin...
[21:19] ---
    I will not let her die.
    Even if she betrays...
[21:23] ---
    Even if she betrays my lord, I will spread
    the fictional Demon King’s rumors and lore,
[21:28] ---
    and protect that child.
[21:32] ---
    Because Misa is our child.
[21:35] ---
    She’s the precious love that you gave me.
[21:38] ---
    Shin...
[21:41] ---
    Why... can’t I speak anymore?
    There are so many things I still want to tell you...
[21:47] ---
    I’m sorry, Shin. I’m your wife...
    and yet you’re always protecting me...
[21:53] ---
    But I couldn’t protect your pride...
[21:56] ---
    You were the one thing I prized
    more than anything...
[22:02] ---
    It’s not working out as I’d hoped.
[22:05] ---
    I caused you grief at the very end...
    I am so sorry.
[22:10] ---
    You’ve got to smile.
[22:12] ---
    Listen, Shin. Not that I think
    I’m getting through to you...
[22:16] ---
    But thank you, Shin.
[22:18] ---
    For teaching me about love.
[22:21] ---
    Thank you, Shin. For protecting me.
[22:27] ---
    We were only married for three days...
[22:30] ---
    But I was happier than anyone else in the world.
[22:51] ---
    I suppose that I’m the epitome of a fool.
[23:07] ---
    I wanted to make you happy.
[23:26] ---
    The tragedy that happened 2,000 years ago is over.
[23:31] ---
    We’re going to go get it all back!
[23:35] ---
    SEND HATRED TO THE PAST
[23:37] ---
    Send Hatred to the Past.
