Mastema.
An Arknights six-star Caster Operator. Too bad he hadn't pulled him...
"Cough, I remembered wrong, remembered wrong!"
"Mastema isn't that cat-eared girl. He's a deity who remained from the Mythic Era."
After obtaining the map from Ursula, William scratched his head and began pondering it.
Back in the Mythic Era, when the gods secluded themselves and reincarnated, seven deities had remained in the Dark World because they were too weak and had absorbed too little Faith. They had since become the Seven Dark Demon Kings.
As for why the Seven Demon Kings had never descended upon the Gods Continent, nor seized control of its countless living beings after the gods declined—
The key was that, before leaving, the gods had forced them to swear divine oaths.
