Zillion
Zillion is the purple-haired True Hero of Lightning and mentor of Zeno Reynold. He begins as a provocative rival of Leon, but handles Aengus Degaro's emergence pragmatically once hostility no longer serves humanity. (Chapters 156–186, 344)
Biography
Assembled to Aria’s Possessiveness
Zillion arrived among the Transcendentals by mocking Leon's failure to prevent Arcadia's destruction, using another guardian's loss to assert his own standing. Despite that rivalry, he joined Leon, Felix, and the other S-ranks in channeling power into the Key to the Ancient Land of Treasures. After the trial, he watched the examination of Aengus with caution rather than immediately joining Helios and Elyon's accusations. When Zeno attacked, Zillion recalled his disciple, accepted that Aengus was not presently established as a demon, and declared respect earned rather than demanded. The withdrawal converts personal hostility into strategic tolerance for a talented future warrior. (Chapters 156–186)
The Order Of Ruination
When primordial demons later identified Aengus as a god, Zillion's composure broke and he asked the assembled church leaders to confirm the revelation. His trembling response shows how far the situation had moved beyond the rivalry he once believed he could manage through caution and diplomacy. The chapter does not show him attacking, submitting, or changing allegiance afterward, so his latest confirmed state is shocked recognition rather than a resolved position toward the Order of Ruination. (Chapter 344)
Appearance and personality
Zillion is a purple-haired man with the commanding presence expected of a Transcendental hero. He is sharp-tongued and initially enjoys provoking Leon, but he is not wholly ruled by pride: he restrains Zeno after sensing danger and reverses his stance when continued escalation would waste a valuable human talent. The later divine revelation frightens him openly, showing that his pragmatic confidence has limits before genuinely cosmic authority. (Chapters 156–186, 344)
Skills, laws, and abilities
As the True Hero of Lightning, Zillion is a Transcendental who can move away in a flash of lightning and contribute substantial energy to opening the Ancient Treasure Land. These scenes demonstrate lightning-aligned movement and large mana reserves, but no named offensive technique, exact rank beyond Transcendental, system panel, range, or cost is supplied. His ability to sense a subtle threat from Aengus informs his decision to stop Zeno rather than proving omniscient danger detection. (Chapters 157, 184–186)
Zillion's most consequential skill in the arc is judgment as a mentor: he can halt Zeno's attack, override the younger hero's wounded pride, and reframe Aengus as a possible ally in the Holy War. This is leadership rather than supernatural compulsion. The final chapter supplies no new lightning feat or advancement, and his shock at Aengus's godhood leaves his combat ability against divine beings untested. (Chapters 186, 344)
Relationships
- Leon: Zillion's fellow Transcendental and rhetorical rival, whom he mocks over Arcadia despite cooperating on the treasure gate. (Chapters 156–157)
- Zeno Reynold: His lightning-hero disciple. Zillion protects him from repeating Valen's defeat by ordering him to withdraw. (Chapter 186)
- Aengus Degaro: Initially a suspected threat, then a talent Zillion chooses not to antagonize; his later godhood leaves Zillion shaken. (Chapters 184–186, 344)
Items
Zillion helps power the Key to the Ancient Land of Treasures, but Leon handles the key and no ownership is transferred to Zillion. No personal weapon, armor, or lightning relic is named for him. (Chapter 157)
