All of Andrew's wives and guardians were in the office, so upon hearing the na "Fluffy," they imdiately knew who she was. While it was true that they had never seen her, they all knew her.
Since they received the seal of wives or guardians, they learned many secrets from Andrew, but the fact that he had a divine beast was not among them.
Andrew told This secret directly to them, as he had perfect trust in them. They did not know what they looked like and most of their functions, but they understood that she was Andrew's closest companion.
Still, they were surprised that the divine beast that Andrew called "Fluffy" was a beautiful woman like the one they were seeing. Little did they understand how she could have a na like that, looking like that.
What they did not know was that when Andrew first t her, she was a small cotton ball and that was why he gave her that na, it was nothing compared to what they were seeing right now.
On the other hand, Andrew's surprise was not only in Fluffy's beauty and appearance but in the fact that she had appeared in front of them. He knew that to let her take control of his body he would have to pay a high price, but now she was manifesting in this world.
Andrew did not want to even imagine the price he had to pay for this. Fluffy, as if understanding his thoughts, said, "Master, there is no need to worry. This situation is different from the other, but it is not the ti to discuss it."
Fluffy stopped looking at Andrew and returning her gaze to Crhono said, "We have guests." With those last words, everyone understood. It was not the ti, nor the place to discuss the subject, they should first speak to the old dragon.
Everyone regained their composure and remained silent. Now that Fluffy had left, it was obvious that she was the one leading the conversation. It may be the first ti they t her, but everyone knows that after Andrew she is the highest authority.
"Boy, you are not bad," Fluffy suddenly said looking at Crhono. The old dragon smiled and bowed respectfully and replied, "It is an honor that you think so." Everyone seed lost in what they were discussing.
Fluffy noticing this began to explain, "This old dragon is practically a divine beast already." Such a statent surprised everyone and Andrew could not even help but ask, "A divine beast? Not a god?"
"Yes, a divine beast. Although dragons have a humanoid form and that is how they are known in this world, the reality is that they are not a race like the others, they are initially beasts," Fluffy said calmly.
After a short pause, she added, "Their current form is similar to what I am showing you. Make no mistake, being a beast is not degrading, just that instead of gods they ascend to be divine beasts."
"Indeed, the lady knows everything. She is right. We dragons are a race that lives long, perhaps the longest life expectancy in this world, so we learned to adapt," Crhono said, still as calm as when he arrived.
At that mont Fluffy frowned and asked, "What I don't understand is, how can you remain in this world after reaching this level?" Again, everyone understood what he ant imdiately.
In short, the ancestor of the dragons was powerful and divine enough that the world rejected him and he ascended to divinity. The old man smiled bitterly. Seeing his smile, Fluffy frowned even more and looked at him closely, and in a short ti, her eyes opened wide in surprise. After her surprise ca a bit of anger and finally sadness.
Only Andrew couldn't see the change of expression on Fluffy's face, because he was standing behind her, but he didn't have to wait for soone to tell him, because Andrew could feel how her aura changed.
"I see, it was the fallen god?" Fluffy suddenly asked and the old dragon replied, "That's right. During the war a thousand years ago, I was at the front. Many may not know of the divine beasts, but I am different."
"The survivors of that battle, they know of the gods and god candidates, as well as the spirits, for they were the most notorious, but there were also divine beasts," Crhono said regretfully.

No one interrupted him and waited for him to continue his story, so he continued, "They were few, but there were a few hundred. I had the honor of being taken under the wing of a benevolent god."
Crhono paused as if rembering old tis. His look of sadness was evident, but he quickly recovered and continued speaking, "Unfortunately, my master passed away in battle." Everyone took a breath of cold air, as they could tell that the old man was not only sad but angry. They could all understand or at least believe they understood.
No one present had not lost a loved one, so they believed they understood his pain, but there was really only one person who could understand him, and only remotely.
Fluffy was the only one who had an idea of what the dragon felt. She is a divine beast, so she can relate to the case. While she has not experienced what it is like to lose a master, she could understand it.
A divine beast and its master, that is, the god it serves, are closer than one might think. Their union is at the soul level, so when a divine beast loses its god or vice versa when a god loses its divine beast, they do not only lose a loved one, they lose a piece of their soul.
That was the reason why the old dragon had not ascended. He had received the grace of a god in ancient tis, so when that god died, he lost a piece of his soul and despite having achieved divinity, he would not ascend.
To be more exact, he had achieved divinity, but he could not use it, due to what he lacked. Technically speaking, he could not break the mbrane that separates him from this plane.
In the entire world, there was no one more powerful than Crhono, but at the sa ti, he had no way to ascend, as he had lost sothing important that prevented him from doing so, and what is worse, he had no way to repair himself.
"Do you wish to ascend?" Fluffy unexpectedly asked, causing the old man to be surprised for the first ti in years. Fluffy looked at him seriously and said, "You reached that place thanks to your master, right?"
Crhono nodded, as he replied, "Losing him destroyed . "Even so, I managed to get his body and his divinity back, it was given to , it was his last act of benevolence, so, I reached these heights."
"But, a deceased person cannot ascend you," Fluffy said sadly and the old dragon nodded with the sa sadness. Everyone else had remained silent because they could not understand the conversation very well.
Still, it seed like sothing important and personal, so they did not dare to interrupt, they just let them talk. Then, Fluffy looked up and seriously asked again, "Do you want to ascend?"
