If the "stories" carried by every person had a measure,
then during the period just after the Mountain Kingdom's destruction, the "stories" on Zuniga had nearly reached their peak.
It was also then that Zuniga encountered several Time Radios in succession.
Like bees that had caught the scent of nectar, they came swarming toward Zuniga one after another...
"Before long, I had gathered a complete Time Radio puzzle. But that page of the puzzle eventually cracked apart and turned to flying ash," Zuniga said softly.
"Cracked apart?" Angel froze. "Did you dismantle it?"
Zuniga shook his head. "No. Back then, I did not yet loathe Fashion Demonic Beasts so deeply. When I encountered a Time Radio, I was thrilled... because I knew about the Time Radio's 'Echoes of the Past' ability."
Angel's gaze stiffened. At such a particular point in time, Zuniga had brought up the ability "Echoes of the Past" again. Could it be...
The next second, Zuniga's words confirmed Angel's guess.
"I wanted to use 'Echoes of the Past' to listen to what had happened in the past upon the ruins of Diomo City."
Angel said, "Just as I thought."
At the time, Zuniga considered himself an "unqualified" king. He had been frantically chasing Diomo City's past, searching for clues to the disappearance of the royal city.
The appearance of the Time Radio gave Zuniga hope.
"Only, my Time Radio did not have the ability 'Echoes of the Past.'" Zuniga said, "Fortunately, over the next few years, several more Time Radios came to find me."
By repeatedly refreshing skills, Zuniga eventually obtained "Echoes of the Past."
Once he had acquired that ability, Zuniga immediately returned to the Mountain Kingdom. Upon Diomo City's former site, he used the Time Radio to listen to the night Diomo City vanished.
