In the dream of Tizamo Town on the Southern Continent.
Raphael heard the Western Continent's Underworld Daoist explain to his other self that what lay buried beneath the Black Monolith was actually an avatar of the Demon Monarch!
This Ancient God had indeed possessed an Abomination characteristic back then.
He had made that Abomination characteristic into an avatar. Perhaps he had hidden it here to leave himself a way out.
Now that the Black Monolith had vanished, Raphael breathed a sigh of relief. Neither the Underworld Daoist's avatar nor the Demon Monarch's avatar was an existence he could contend with at present.

Pain seemed dazed for a moment before saying, "I-I think I do."
Then he shook his head. "But I can't remember."
Raphael did not press him. Instead, he collected the Marionette's characteristic and briefly searched the body.
He found a long, narrow card depicting Roselle in prison clothes. Even today, more than a century later, Roselle still had countless admirers. Even in Backlund, his portraits could be seen everywhere.
Raphael had seen his portraits many times as well. His most distinctive features were his chestnut hair and two small mustache tips.
Raphael was about to put it away when he suddenly seemed to realize something. He took the card out for another look.
