At the deep deep depths of the sea, a semi-transparent pillar was standing.
It is the Water Mother Monster, Strobi Laguna.
Created by the Water God Coacervate, it is a giant gelatin-property mass that possesses the function of infinitely giving birth to water element monsters.
The main body that is as if it were a giant pillar had several thousands of semi-transparent plates piled up. The plate that is at the very top was isolated from the rest, and by leaving itself to the sea current, it flows here and there, and in the time it is doing that, it steadily changes shape into a marine creature and becomes a water element monster.
The length of this Mother Monster is -as common of a Mother Monster- classified as one of the biggest in the world, but by hiding inside the very depths of the sea that is far bigger than it, humans have not caught sight of it for the hundred years since it was born.
After finishing its release of water element monster larvas to a certain extent, only the jellyfish-shaped core of the pillar remains, then, it itself will flow with the sea current and move to a different location for spawning.
This process has continued for a hundred years without humans knowing; the Mother of Disastrous Floods.
But it was about to reach its end.
The Strobi Laguna, that only has the function of division, gave birth to an egg.
That egg shone faintly like a pear as it drifted about in the sea current, and it soon hatched. What came out from inside the egg…had the shape of a human.
The surface of his body was transparent like that of a sea creature, but it still was a human-like body that had all extremities.
Its eyes held intelligence.
Transparent wings that looked like the fins of a fish spread from its back.
On the other hand, the main body of the Strobi Laguna steadily withered even when in the sea, and in the end, its body dissolved and disappeared.
The ultimate water element monster that was given birth with the sacrifice of its mother.
Water Demon Lord, Gabriel.
Was born at this moment.

At the Earth capital, Ishtar Blaze, there’s still the remains of what was once called ‘Great Pillar-sama’.
Normally, monsters that die would disappear without leaving a corpse, but no one suspected anything about this exception.
It must have stemmed from how out of standard Grandma Wood was.
The upper part that was swallowed by the gravity of the black hole has already disappeared. Only the lower part, that was left there at that time in order to save the people that were assimilated by it, had been removed from the attack range. Right now, there’s only a stump left and still remains in the center of Ishtar Blaze.
Below that stump, at the underground part that is buried in earth, there’s a round-shaped tuberous root surrounded by the roots that are freely running all the way down as if trying to protect it.
It had an irregular spherical shape, making it look like it was molded by hand.
But the size was that of a human.
That tuberous root began to crack as if giving birth, and from inside, a human appeared.
It looked like an old person with wrinkles all over its skin, but that wasn’t the case.
It was a human-shaped being that had all its body made of tree bark.
When that ‘human’ crept out of the earth, branches came out from his back, and leaves grew abundantly from it.
The silhouette of those branches that grew thickly from both sides were like wings.
The ultimate earth element monster that was birthed by the Earth Mother Monster that was supposed to have died.
Earth Demon Lord, Uriel.
