Not only did his true name change but also the spiritron had the class pattern. It meant his very soul altered enough to assume the pattern without his notice. The class pattern of a living human did not just appear out of the blue, it presented itself when one's ways of life came to define in certain manners. In his case, his life was practically set as an Avenger. He would be able to live a normal life or a peaceful life; but it would not last long because he will find and see irrationalities, corruptions and injustices, and rebel against them quite spectacularly. In a way it was similar to an Active Origin except it could change when something drastic happened.

Besides, there were skills he shouldn't have obtained, those were Divinity and Revelation. Revelation; This, Jason could say 'Damn!' and roll with it as a bonus of Cultural Sphere and of Recognition even though it being EX rank was questionable. But Divinity? It was so outrageously far-fetched to have that he couldn't help but call out bloody bullshit. What he summoned was the phantom of Jeanne d'Arc the witch who committed sacrilege, not Jeanne d'Arc La Pucelle.

So, where the fuck did Divinity come from? Appalled, Jason run the in-depth audit and found the cause.

It was…──

"Wha, why art thou here?!"

The Spirit of Vengeance, Spectre who disappeared after Corrigan's retirement(?) was there, in his one of thought processes.

Of fucking course. Jason could not be anything but an Avenger when fucking Spectre was nesting in his cozy soul, now could he? Divinity and Revelation being EX ranks was just a Spectre's work, for he was the wrath of Presence.

Jason dived down to the mindscape as soon as he found it, there was Spectre in a thought process wearing a green hooded cape and sitting on the some kind of a bundle of wriggling shadow. Looking down at it he seemed bewildered and disbelieving.

Jason cleared his metaphoric throat and cut to the chase.

"Why me?"

Spectre looked up at him and understood immediately what he intended to ask. Why did he chose Jason to be his host?

『"I was about to deny your call, but He willed me to answer."』

Jason was not quite sure what he meant. He? As for He, did Spectre mean Presence itself? And He willed him to answer when Jason did not call out for Spectre at all in the first place?

"I did not call you. You are not what I intended to summon."

『"It was I, the spirit of vengeance who descended from Seventh Heaven, you intended to summoned. I heard your oath; that you shall achieve all good in the world with whole your life; that you shall defeat all evil in the world with your whole soul. I heeded the call, and decided to obey your will and reason."』

Jason face-palmed. Looking back, the invocation of the evocation ceremony was literally targeted at Spectre. Jason should have seen that coming, but no, his mind was too focused on the witch phantom to notice piggybacking Spectre on it.

The wriggling shadow heaved underneath Spectre, who glimpsed at it but let it be. It just wanted to get the attention, and it got the attention from Jason. Bemused, Jason thought it felt familiar yet at the same time… alien(negational) somewhat. It was a complete opposite of Spectre in the Attribute sense and yet Jason found himself drawn to it. It was strange, he did not like it.

He pointed at it and asked.

"What is it?"

『"It is the intelligential non-life which was ruined by the Stained. It is your essence and nature, Eligos."』

It opened its many crimson eyes as a response to the introduction. The iris was red around the black crisscross pupil with an unearthly gleam.

They looked at Jason. There was no malice in them, but rather there was strange sense of camaraderie. Finally, he identified what it is ─ or who it was.

"Makarov…?"

It acknowledged its name by blinking its eyes as one.

Spectre answered the unasked question before Jason asked.

『"It requested to me to repress itself on its own volition. For its self-sacrifice and the guiltless of it own fall, I decide to be lenient with it."』

"You don't seem that bothered about my said nature." Jason tilted his head in uncertainty.

Spectre folded his arms.

『"It is because I reside in your inscape and feel sincerity in the oath you made."』

It was statement, approval and warning wrap in a fact Spectre would watch Jason. Ensuring Human Order as an Atlasia, seeking out vengeance against evil as an Avenger: Spectre could respect both principles of Jason's. Jason was capable of keeping the oath forever in literal mean, for he was the magician of the Third Magic whose soul was impossible to be degraded or distorted. By adding rationality and devotion of the director, he became a perfect host for Spectre.

Yes, Spectre could see why He wanted Jason to be his host. It was certainly better than that blasted, insolent rogue angel who dare try to use His wrath for his bidding.

But….

"…heh, okay," Jason smiled a little, "I try not to disappoint you."

His spiritron projection faded away.

Spectre sighed in resignation.

『"A demon with the Death Perception who holds Spectre Force. I can not fathom why He gives the young one this much power."』

【"It is Alaya's work, not Presence's."】

『"!"』

Hearing that from Eligos Spectre dropped his gaze at the demon, eyes sharp and glaring in warning. But the wrath of God and descended angel could not help but find himself engulfed by a sudden premonition.

Eligos was not like other demons, hell, it was not even a born demon. It had been once a part of system to maintain Human Order the King of Magic had established under the order of the God. Even though the Stained made it become a mere demon, it still had Solomon's Clairvoyance that's even with Him in capability to predict future.

Spectre himself had Clairvoyance, one that views the past. He knew Eligos knew he was able to find out the truth from the past because they met each other's eyes once. The moment when Crrigan become his host, Spectre 'saw' the moment Eligos was forced to fall and vice versa.

Nevertheless, Spectre 'looked' and found Eligos was right. It was Alaya in disguise.

Alaya, the collective unconsciousness of mankind, drive for its survival as a whole and one of two sides of the Deterrent Force which was exclusive and once slumbered, was now wide awake. In the universe full of dimension-time jumpers, mythic creatures, Homo Magi and aliens.

Oh joy.
