The gift "Love" that White Lotus had left for the Black-Clad Figure when she departed had, for some unknown reason, been passed on to this consciousness, which had been born from his divine soul. This consciousness had fallen in love with the one who created him, the Empress Witch of the current generation of the Ancient Witch Tribe.
After the Black-Clad Deity had fully awakened, he had intended to completely devour and assimilate this consciousness, which the people of the Southern Border called the Beast Demon. But when he remembered the gift White Lotus had left him, he hesitated!
The Black-Clad Deity possessed all of the Beast Demon's memories. After witnessing the torment the Beast Demon suffered because of so-called "Love," he backed down and decided to leave this great gift from White Lotus to the Beast Demon.
Because of this, the Black-Clad Deity could neither leave nor control the Beast Demon's body. If he took control, everything belonging to the Beast Demon would become his—including his fate and his "Love"!

The Black-Clad Deity nodded, then turned to the White-Clothed Deity. "Then I'll be just like you!"
The White-Clothed Deity ignored
