Chapter 388 - 18: This Bastard Won’t Bend!
Ioannos held numerous titles such as "Gods’ Birth," "Conquest Knight," "Determiner of Fate," "Guardian of Earth," and "Ancestral Priest."
The mortals explained Ioannos’s background as being divinely ordained.
The gods felt that the earth had been in chaos for too long, so they sent Ioannos from heaven to save the Human Clan—he did not emerge from a mother’s womb but descended directly to earth in the form of an angel.
This simple explanation was so widely accepted among the people that even a century later, many believed he would return to save the land once again.
Of course, the reality was different.
Ioannos was not a son of the gods.
A century ago, it was rumored that Ioannos came from Divine Mystery, but since it was not confirmed, it was dismissed as a rumor.
Tashina: There’s a rumor that Ioannos is from Divine Mystery. I’m here to clarify, it’s not just a rumor.
The Divine Mystery Kingdom is the successor to the Dark Empire, but not entirely so.
The Conqueror received another part of the legacy, which laid the foundation of this land, naming it "Black Iron."
