Ren woke up to see Lucius standing in front of him. Llody, Jenny and Miriam were worried but seeing Lucius looking at Ren with that frightening gaze. Versikua, Hati and Skoll fell to their knees. Mister Cuddles held Jenny in his arms .The Fenrirs and even Kael's swords fell. Yet Ren was still standing as if nothing was happening.

Lucius winked once with his right eye, the entire villa blown away, vaporized into nothingness. Yet Ren was still standing strong.

"Ren. Are you afraid?" Lucius asked the question, not because he was ignornat to see that Ren was not afraid but he wanted to hear the confidence of the boy in his own words.

"No... Should I be afraid?" Ren asked.

"Yes. Because i stand before you not as the Supreme God but as the former God of Destruction. The one your brother serves. Your brother fell at my wink. Yet I've winked three times and you're still standing. This is quite frightening. It means that Velaya's choice of choosing you is not out of desperation but because she could see what you are Ren." Lucius explained.

"Wait, what does that mean?!" Jenny asked.

"Your brother, is the current Avatar of Destruction. But when I took him on as my Avatar, he needed to pass the Rite of Destruction. Destruction in its purest form. The reason why all of you are still alive and not vaporized is because of Ren. Kael is meant to destroy everything, he turns things into nothingness but Ren. Ren is different. Ren is able to destroy and absorb destructive power. It is a rare combination. It basically means that Ren is able to destroy and repair things at the same time. Kael does not have that. He cannot restore buildings perfectly but Ren... You can." Lucius said as Ren opened his clenched fists. The villa repaired itself right before their eyes.

"What's the cause of this?" Hati asked Lucius.

"Upbringing. My upbringing as the God of Destruction is merely to destroy everything. I raised Velaya to be more. To understand that destruction is not a bad thing. She somehow was able to inherit powers to help restore what has been destroyed. I raised her to see that destruction can bring forth anew. Destruction does not mean the end. Kael and myself, bring ruin but Velaya can bring hope to it. She chose the best person to be her Avatar. Which means, Ren... When your brother finds Velaya. He cannot protect her. You have to do it." Lucius explained, which made the others even more confused.

"But what?! Why can't master protect Velaya!?" Kuro Hana argued.

"Because of our upbringing. Kael cannot touch Velaya in his current state, she can be broken because of it. Ren's my Avatar of Destruction and she is not his God. Conflicting Avatars and Gods will lead to ruin." Lucius explained as he turned to Ren.

"But... I'm weak.. I... I can't protect her." Ren said, clenching his fists and sniffling.

"I cannot teach you to use restoration but I can teach you to use your powers. Not as the God of Destruction but as the Supreme God. I will teach you swordsmanship of the Supreme One and Supremacy of Magic." Lucius said.

"But isn't it conflicting?" Jenny asked.

"Not if it's like this. If Ren is being taught by Lucius as Supreme God, there is no conflict. Lucius did not give Kael the title of Supreme One's Avatar. Kael is merely Avatar of Destruction, but Lucius is the Supreme God." Veriskua explained to them, clearing things up with just his words.

"That and Supreme One can teach anyone he wishes. Besides if he teaches them as Supreme God, it is merely to guide and not override the original God's powers over the Avatar. That and having the former God of Destruction teach Ren to use is powers is a lot better. God of Destructions in the past, for as long as I've seen them are far too dangerous. Lucius is the only one that ever has proper control." Nellista explained to them as he lit a cigar for himself.Aevery appeared to join them.

"That is also why we chose to have him as our Supreme One. He has not lost his anger over matters that are dumb. He loses his anger over matters that are going to destroy the worlds. Only reason why the other Gods are being dumb is because Lucius granted them rights to handle their own realms. Now they over did something and Lucius has to clean up the mess. Truth be told, I am far too frightened to look at Lucius's face right now." Aevery explained as Lucius only kept his eye to Ren and not to anyone else.

"Ren. I will push you beyond your limits. I will break you, as how I broke your brother. This may be cruel and Kael may want my head for this but this is to prepare you so that when someone tries to harm you or Velaya. They cannot beat you." Ren's boots were shaking just from the word,s he could barely keep eye contact longer than a second with Lucius.

"I'm scared but... I'm sure Velaya is scared too! I'll do it!" Ren spoke up where Lucius nodded.

"Hey Kael. I'm going to put your brother through something far worse than you went through. So If you're going to cut me down. Just do it." Lucius spoke up to the ceiling.

"Well, it is for your sibling. So I have no issues with that, Lucius. I mean, I knew that was the other reason why you left Velaya with us. You found her an Avatar candidate and now that Avatar is my brother. Besides, if you want me to be blunt... Lucius, you care for Velaya like a doting brother." They heard Kael's voice.

"Hey. I'm not as much as a doting brother as you are!" Lucius growled.

"Says the Supreme Being that fawns over Velaya like a helicopter parent. " Kael was teasing his own God, it was funny to hear.

"Ren. I'm proud of you. This is going to be tough, you're going to cry. You're going to see the world be ugly for a while, but always remember. Your big brother is here. I can't protect you when you go in there. But when you leave, I'll teach you my skills and you might get one of my swords." Kael said to Ren, it was encouragement and that began with Ren's training with Lucius.
