"I can neither confirm nor deny,

" Janus refused to answer the question of the Green Haired woman who was seeking confirmation if Ryder had his memory or not.

"So if it is reincarnation? How did you even get it to work? Gods can't reincarnate. These are the universal laws that were created by the chaos of origin. Did you find some loophole to save your brother?

" The goddess of life and death inquired.

"As I said, I can't answer. It is more complicated than you think. Just know that my involvement in this is close to none,

" Janus answered as he frowned.

"From what I can guess, you pretended to join the other gods and fight your brother to get the chance to stab him before then. That last attack is where the mystery resides, isn't it?

" The Goddess of Life and Death asked.

"That's when you did something. Anyway, I am glad he doesn't remember anything. If he doesn't return, things can stay the way they are. I don't want there to be another conflict,

" she continued.

Janus gazed at the green-haired woman and nodded his head as if agreeing with her; however, the thought in his head was completely different.

'Oh, I think he won't agree. He has a plan of his own. It is much bigger than you or me...' he thought as he shifted his focus back to Ryder.

"Did you make contact with him, or are you just keeping an eye on him? You can't go down to that place like me if I'm not wrong. Or it would attract much more attention to that place which wouldn't be good,

" the green-haired woman said to Janus.

" If the gods know that your brother is alive, they wouldn't stop at anything to have him killed again. It would result in a massive war. The gods that have gone to seclusion will return. Even God of Time will come back. The God of Space will also leave his realm. This war would be much bigger than last time. You won't be stupid enough to risk it, right?

" She asked.

Janus just smiled wryly, but he didn't answer.

He didn't tell her how close he had been to have the whole thing exposed. They came so close to have the God of Time sense the distortion in time. Fortunately, it was a light distortion that a few gods could create as well. It wasn't enough to have the God of Time come out.

Janus knew the God of Time for a long time.

The God of Time was one of Janus' teachers, after all. He was the one who taught Janus to control the time at his brother's request.

The God of Time, God of Space, God of Light, and his brother were said to be the four best friends of their time.

They were said to be the strongest circle of friends. The three gods had also taught Janus at the request of her brother.

Janus still remembered how warm these days were.

It was all over when a tragedy occurred. The tragedy changed Ryder completely. He changed after that day and started working to give immortality to everyone, which attracted the wrath of gods.

The gods didn't like it. Even the God of Light, God of Death, and God of Space thought that it was a bad idea. They all opposed Ryder, but he didn't listen.

It would still not have been bad enough for the three to think about killing Ryder but what he did next made them determined to kill him.

The ones who used to be the best friends of Ryder were one of the Eight Major Gods that had formed the plan to kill Ryder.

Ryder knew it all, but instead of running away, he decided to face them all bravely.

On one side stood Ryder and Asteria, while on the other side stood his three best friends and almost all Major Gods, looking to kill him.

Even Janus stood against him.

Asteria was killed in the war. Many major gods fell in the great war.

One of the three friends of Ryder, the God of Light, had also died in the great war.

Ryder himself was the one who had killed him along with the other gods.

It was a brutal war... Much more brutal than anyone thought it was going to be.

How difficult was it going to be to kill one God when they have all other gods on their side. That's what the other gods had thought, but they didn't realize that the one they were facing was Ryder.

Ryder was not alone either. He had the help of his bracelet that he had created, which gave him even more powers. Unfortunately, the bracelet was just created at that time, so it wasn't ready to be used. Ryder couldn't even use one percent of the bracelet's power at that time.

If he could, the outcome would have been different. After Janus stabbed Ryder, Ryder's body turned to dust. Only the bracelet of immortality was left behind.

All the gods wished to use the bracelet for themselves. But this was a problem since no one was willing to have another person take the bracelet.

It was impossible to give up the bracelet. The allure was just too much to let others have it.

Even if they were gods, they had similar emotions to humans. If they couldn't have something good for themselves, they wished for no one to have it. Some gods were willing to let others have it or use votings, but there were some who didn't agree.

In the end, it was decided that no one will keep the bracelet. Since one couldn't keep it, no one was going to keep it.

That also had a problem of its own enough. They could also feel that it was breaking the balance of the world. Even if they didn't use it, the bracelet was not something that could be allowed to exist.

It was an unstable item that was destroying all elements as it grew in power each second. They didn't even know if they could keep it in control for long.

In the end, they decided that the only way to stop this problem was to deal with the item once and for all. They decided to destroy it.

They used the strongest of attacks to break the bracelet completely. They even used the hellfire and heavenly thunder to destroy it, but nothing worked. The bracelet couldn't be destroyed.

In the end, they all used a different idea. It was an idea that was suggested by Janus himself.

He had suggested that they all use a bit of their power to seal the bracelet and create a key. These keys were the tokens created by each of the gods.

Not even Thirty gods were selected to seal the bracelet. Everyone agreed to it since no one would be able to unseal the bracelet without all the tokens from the gods. And getting the tokens was impossible since no one wished for the other to be able to use the bracelet of immortality.

In the end, the bracelet was sealed. After being sealed, it was placed inside the box of anonymity.

The box of anonymity was a mysterious item that was embedded with space and time magic.

Its speciality was that whatever was inserted inside it was Teleported to some random location in an unexpected corner of the world. The item was also covered in a mysterious aura that made it impossible for that item to be tracked. People could spend millions of years, but they would be unable to find the item that was placed in the box of anonymity.

The sealed bracelet of immortality was placed in the box of anonymity to make sure that it was never discovered.

The bracelet of immortality was a powerful item that was impossible to be destroyed. It also had many untold powers. Even if it was sealed and each god kept a key with them, it was still not certain if someone would try to steal the key due to greed.

After the bracelet of immortality disappeared inside the box of anonymity, Janus suggested another thing.

He told the gods that everyone knew who had these tokens. If a powerful god wished, he could steal these tokens or use immoral ways to get the keys. He suggested that the best way to make sure that no one even thought about getting the bracelet of immortality unsealed was to place all the keys inside the box of anonymity one after another.

Even though some people didn't agree with it, the majority did. The keys were placed inside the box of anonymity. Thus, the keys were thrown to unknown corners of the world where they could never be brought together to unseal the bracelet.

Since the box of anonymity also removed the aura of items, it was also impossible to find the keys.

So no one had any hope of getting the bracelet of immortality or unsealing it.
