Cobra nodded, glanced at Leo "Could you please remove the cuffs this young man? I'm hard to change if these handcuffs are still around my neck,"

Leo nodded, waved his hand and in an instant the ice cuffs were out of sight, "What do you mean disappear, Cobra?"

Cobra didn't answer, but suddenly, a light came out of the giant python's body. Slowly, the animal turned into a human body in general. Turned into an adult man with a tall and well-built posture. He had a handsome face with an unreadable expression.

Seeing what had just happened, Leo couldn't hide his surprise. The young man looked at the figure of the man in front of him in amazement, "Woahh how did you do it? Are you a monster? Or are you a snake man? Do you look like Medusa?"

"Don't joke! I'm a humanimals. I'm a human but I'm also an animal. My body is half human and half animal. I can live for thousands of years and keep growing in size over time. My snake form just now isn't actually my original form. The snake form I was in was way bigger from that. Even my whole body is the same as the circumference of this forest. And of course if I use my true form, this forest will become such a narrow place and I will have difficulty moving," Cobra replied casually, sitting himself down on the ground. At first glance the man just looks like an ordinary man from the interior tribe with brown clothes typical of people who live in the interior of the forest. But who would have thought that Cobra was actually a half-snake human.

Leo again muttered in amazement, "I didn't expect that the world was really wide. There are many kinds of creatures in this world. And humans are only a small part of the creatures that exist in this world. It's really impressive. This is the first time I've heard the term humanimals. Are you hide yourself from the humans?"

"Of course. Humanimals usually only interact with animals. Very few of us associate with humans. In humans it's a bunch of idiots who always torture animals and use animals arbitrarily just for their benefit," Cobra smiled a little, "But that's not what I want to talk about right now. This is about the obelisks that exist all over the world and about the Diavolo's middle name. I'm sure you guys are curious about the truth, aren't you?"

The three young men nodded spontaneously, "In the past, there was a great ascetic. He was the Sage Diavolo. He had extraordinary powers that normal people did not have. It was the result of his asceticism so far. But one day, a big event occurred. Which made the Diavolo Sage have to do something to prevent the worst from happening. Therefore, he built these obelisks. There are twenty of them and they are scattered all over the world. To protect the obelisks from evildoers who want to destroy them, the Diavolo Sage assigned each one a humanimals in the place where the obelisk is,"

"There are three colors of obelisks in this world. The colors represent how important the contents of the obelisks are. The light brown color means that the information on the obelisks is general information, usually about past buildings or past civilizations. Then gray gray, like this obelisk, contains something that is one level more important than the previous color. The obelisk contains the answers to some of the mysteries that exist in this world. But all the information that is not written down easily. There are puzzles and word games that must be solved by everyone who wants to reveal it,"

And lastly is the black obelisk. It is an obelisk that contains stories that happened in the past. Stories that changed this world. The black obelisks are the most important obelisks. In this world there are ten obelisks that are light brown, six are gray, and four black obelisks,"

"Ah, I just found out about it now," said Steve, "At first I only knew obelisks in this world were dark brown. The only obelisks that have been found and can be interpreted. That's why the experts who conducted forbidden research on this obelisk concluded if all the obelisks in this world were dark brown,"

But why can't the public touch the obelisk in this forest? In my opinion, this place is not too far from residential areas. Of course humans will find it easily if they're smart, right?" he asked.

"You're not smart either, you idiot. You stupid plant,"

"Shut up Steve, I'm studying science now," Zeo answered while raising one hand.

Steve rolled his eyes lazily before turning to Cobra, asking for an answer to Zeo's question, "Yes because all the snakes in this forest are very dangerous. They will obviously be killed even after setting foot on this island. People also won't be able to see this obelisk from a bird's eye view. air if you don't have sharp eyesight. This obelisk is covered by trees in the forest and my snakes always surround it. But you guys seem to have very keen eyes so you can see this obelisk from that height. I'm really impressed with you. You are the first to see this. came after a thousand years,"

"I'm honored enough for that," Leo smiled proudly, "I'll reveal everything. Eliminate anyone I deem evil and return the world to the way it should be. Just like it was in the past. But I'll reverse the situation with the strength I have,"

Zeo chuckled "Do you know what happened in Leo's past?"

"Not really. But I'm just determined. I'm not going to give up on my resolve so don't worry. We're not going to lose to anyone. We're going to go explore the world, meet strong people and fight with them to grow stronger and strong," Leo clenched his fists then raised them high in the air, "I will free myself from anyone who gets in my way,"

"Yes, that's why we will always be behind you to support you, Leo. Don't forget us when you walk. Because you never walk alone," Zeo answered, embracing Steve's shoulders with a big smile.

"Of course I will not forget you,"
