“Makoto-san, is this ice magic? An enemy attack?”
The temperature inside the frozen dungeon lowered sharply.
Of course Momo and Hero Abel woke up.
Hero Abel is trembling most likely from the cold.
Momo is most likely fine because she is a vampire, she isn’t trembling.
But she seems strange.
“…Master, who is that woman?” (Momo)
Momo pointed at Dia who was hugging me.
……Wait, eh?
“Momo, you can see the Great Water Spirit Dia?” (Makoto)
“Huh? Since when did you secretly bring a woman? Aah~, she is so beautiful~.” (Momo)
No no, that’s not it at all.
Wait, Momo, you are scary.
“Wait wait, what’s happening here, Dia?” (Makoto)
“Our King, with you giving me a name, I have managed to incarnate in this realm. I will serve you till death do us apart.” (Dia)
“Huh?” (Makoto)
W-What does she mean by incarnate?
Uhm…the Great Water Spirit that you would have to train your magic proficiency to be able to see has now become someone anyone can see?
T-There was such an effect in giving a name…?
“Makoto-san, who is that girl? She seems to have a fearsome amount of mana…” (Abel)
Before I answered Hero Abel, I glared at Dia.
“I heard none of this, Dia.” (Makoto)
“Teehee☆.” (Dia)
This woman, she hid it on purpose!
Kuh, making a face like that of Noah-sama.
“Master~.” (Momo)
“Makoto-san?” (Abel)
“Uhm…Momo, Abel-san, about this girl…” (Makoto)
While getting internally flustered, I explain about the Great Water Spirit Dia to them.
“She is the Great Water Spirit Undine…?” (Abel)
“When you gave her a name, she turned visible…?” (Momo)
“Aah, Our King… So lovely…” (Dia)
Hero Abel and Momo were looking at Dia, but the person herself was in her own world.
Or more like, you are clinging too much.
“Hey, please don’t cling so much onto Master! You just joined and all!” (Momo)
“Huh? I have been by his side all the time, you know? You are the one that just recently became his disciple, right?” (Dia)
“Master, this girl is cocky!” (Momo)
“Our King, this shrimp is cocky, isn’t she?!” (Dia)
Oi oi, they are already fighting.
“Fighting between members isn’t allowed in this party.” (Makoto)
“…Muh.” (Momo)
“…Hmph.” (Dia)
Momo and Dia went ‘pui’ and looked the other way from each other.
I feel like the pains increased.
Also, Dia can speak the common language.
So skilled.
Even so, there’s something that bothers me.
“Are you always visible, Dia?” (Makoto)
“No, I will be hiding my figure in the Spirit Realm most of the time. There’s the chance that the annoying Gods in the Divine Realm will have their eyes on us after all.” (Dia)
“The Gods of the Divine Realm?” (Momo)
“Will have their eyes on you?” (Abel)
Momo and Abel looked in wonder.
Geh! This topic is bad.
I hurriedly cover the mouth of Dia.
“XXXXXX. XXXXXXXXXX! (Don’t talk about how my faith is with the Titan God Noah-sama. Abel is a Hero of the Holy Gods!)” (Makoto)
“XXXXXX! XXXX! (I-I am sorry! Our King!)” (Dia)
I warned her in Spirit Language.
That was close.
If they were to discover I am a former Apostle of an Evil God, I don’t know what Hero Abel would say.
More so when the current Apostle Cain is the killer of Abel’s mentor…
“I will be hiding myself now, okay~?” (Dia)
Dia disappears.
What a whimsical girl.
I am tired…
“I will rest for a bit. Let’s resume our exploration after that.” (Makoto)
“…Understood. Then, I will keep an eye around.” (Momo)
“Thanks, Momo.” (Makoto)
“You really go at your own pace…Makoto-san.” (Abel)
I heard the amazed voice of Hero Abel, but I ignored it and laid down.
My body feels heavy.
The moment I laid down, I immediately was attacked by drowsiness.
I didn’t dream anything.
◇◇
After I woke up, we walked through the heart of Laberintos.
The ground and walls had magic crystals that were releasing lights of many colors.
It is a beautiful dungeon.
It looks like an inorganic dungeon at a glance, but there were springs like an oasis here and there, and places where trees were growing thickly.
I could see birds and small animals there.
But…
“It is quiet, isn’t it, Master?” (Momo)
“Yeah, is this really the Core Floor of Laberintos?” (Abel)
Momo and Hero Abel had questioning expressions.
The reason for that is because we haven’t seen any monsters at all for a while now.
There should be Calamity Designation monsters roaming all around the place in the Core Floor of Laberintos.
It is also called the Nest of Dragons.
It wouldn’t be strange to be attacked by dragons at any moment…
“Fufufu, they must have gotten scared of my mana♪.” (Dia)
Dia was dancing smoothly in the air.
There was mana overflowing from her body.
It is mana that feels as if it were a bomb on the verge of exploding.
She stands out beyond belief.
“Dia, you can’t reduce the output of your mana?” (Makoto)
“Oh my, Our King, this is already the lowest I can go, you know?” (Dia)
“Seriously…?” (Makoto)
In my eyes, it is an amount of mana that feels like just before someone shoots a monarch rank spell. This is apparently the usual for her.
Hero Abel and Momo were wary at first because we were in the Core Floor of Laberintos, but now the tension in their faces is gone.
It is most likely as Dia said.
Even dragons aren’t showing because they are wary of her mana.
This has turned into quite the different situation than calculated.
But this isn’t bad.
Things being peaceful isn’t bad.
Also, I have to confirm our power.
“Hey, Dia, if this is the lowest, what’s the highest when you gather mana? I think saint rank spells could be used without any issues, but could it be that you can gather mana enough to use god rank spells?” (Makoto)
“I am sorry, Our King. I don’t really understand this ‘saint rank’ and ‘god rank’ stuff. I think that’s a measure of people from the mortal realm…” (Dia)
“I see.” (Makoto)
It is true that the grades of the spells that people decided on has nothing to do with the Great Water Spirit.
“But if it is how much mana I can gather, then I can answer. I want to say ‘the mana of all the water of this world’, but you wouldn’t be able to use it as you currently are. If it is in your current state Our King…I can call my Great Water Spirit sisters from around the whole world. They will listen to you as well, Our King.” (Dia)
“Sisters…? There’s not only one Great Water Spirit?” (Makoto)
“There’s others. The Spirits that were once one were torn apart by that wretched Tita—that certain war…” (Dia)
She must be referring to the Titanomachy…
That mythological talk.
Even so, I didn’t know there were more than one Great Water Spirit.
“Got it. When I am in trouble, your sisters will help me out too, right, Dia?” (Makoto)
“That’s right, Our King.” (Dia)
Looks like several Great Water Spirits will lend me their help.
That’s reassuring.
Dia went ‘hmph!’ and pushed her chest out proudly.
That gesture is similar to Noah-sama.
Is Noah-sama doing well?
At that moment, my sleeve was tugged.
It is Momo.
“Master, there’s a gaze observing us.” (Momo)
“Where?” (Makoto)
I hurriedly turned there.
It is true that I think I managed to see something with Farsight for an instant there.
“Ah, it must have hidden after making eye contact with me. It is most likely a dragon.” (Momo)
“I didn’t notice at all…” (Abel)
“Me too, Abel-san.” (Makoto)
The specs of Momo’s body after turning into a vampire are fearsome.
If she trains magic on top of that, I feel like she will pass me in fighting power in an instant.
“Thanks, Momo.” (Makoto)
“Ehehe…” (Momo)
I pat Momo’s head and she clung to me happily.
This girl’s so cute…
It is hard to believe she is the same Great Sage-sama of the future.
Her looks are exactly the same, so there’s no doubt she is that same person though.
“There’s no need to worry, Our King. No matter the monster, it should be okay with me here.” (Dia)
Dia cut into our conversation.
“Lowering our guard like that can cost our lives, right, Master?” (Momo)
Momo grabbed my hand tightly.
“It is true that we must not lower our guards, Our King. Synchronize with me.” (Dia)
Dia also grabbed my hand.
Uhm, having both of my hands occupied is a bit…
“Yes, you two make sure to be wary of the surroundings.” (Makoto)
I let go of their hands and use Detection.
There’s no monsters nearby, as if natural.
We continue our exploration for now with caution.
But in the end there was no monster standing in our way.
It has been half a day since our exploration.
We arrived at the deepest part of the Core Floor.
“This place is…” (Makoto)
“The Deepest Floor of Laberintos…” (Abel)
There’s a giant gate-like entrance in front of us.
The gate is half-open, and there were stairs going even further down.
I thought there would be a barrier on it, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.
Is it telling us to come if we dare to…?
The legendary Holy Dragon is here…
I gulped and went down one step at a time.
It was a long long staircase that felt like a downhill.
The steep slope suddenly became gentle.
And then, the bare rock ground now had plants growing from it.
Despite being inside a dungeon, it was overflowing with bright light.
However, that light is not from the sun. I could tell it was made from magic.
The ground had green spreading thickly, but they were all plants I haven’t seen on the surface.
The Deepest Floor was a dome-like gigantic space.
Also the big bodies I can see here and there are dragons…most likely Ancient Dragons.
Even when we approach them, they don’t come. I feel like…we are being watched.
It is a bit scary.
It doesn’t seem like they will suddenly attack us, but they don’t look friendly.
We advanced slowly.
There was a spring at the center of the Deepest Floor.
This spring that is made up of a massive amount of mana that must have flowed from the Star Veins was sparkling.
There were pure white flowers blooming around that spring as if surrounding it.
That place alone was overflowing with more light than the other places.
I noticed that that place is the center of the Deepest Floor.
At the side of the spring, there’s one giant white dragon lying down.
A gust of wind rose. Raum spread its 8 wings wide. The light of the…

This chapter is making me very suspicious of Dia. Wait wait, but he author loves misdirection. Have to hold down the instant judgement...
Thanks
“…Master, who is that woman?” (Momo)
Momo pointed at Dia who was hugging me.
……Wait, eh?
"Huh? Since when did you secretly bring a woman? Aah~, she is so beautiful~.” (Momo)
Pfft i had the feeling like momo might go into the yandere route
"Our King, with you giving me a name, I have managed to incarnate in this realm. I will serve you till death do us apart.” (Dia)
“Huh?” (Makoto)
So she now can materialize herself whenever he called for her? Now makoto has Dia as his stand. That "I will serve yoh till death do us apart" really cute. Harem member +1
"I heard none of this, Dia.” (Makoto)
“Teehee☆.” (Dia)
This woman, she hid it on purpose!
Kuh, making a face like that of Noah-sama
And she really does like noah.
"If it is in your current state Our King…I can call my Great Water Spirit sisters from around the whole world. They will listen to you as well, Our King.” (Dia)
Eh.. She has sisters?
I think we saw them during the fight between the Water Spirit King Makoto and the Demi God Alexander (or a mongrel like a certain King of Heroes would say).
Now you mentioned it. Yeah i do remember them. But i didnt thought that they are her sisters, or maybe all water spirit in the world could be considered as Dia relative? Given that they were actually one entities that got wrecked because of The God War
The Great Water Spirit Undine seems kinda weak to me if compared to Gods. I don't think that she would be able to defeat a Goddess. Maybe Makoto would somehow manage to fuse them back together and use some God-rank magic ?
While it is tempting to let him use God-tier magic I don't think it is good to somehow fuse them. Name all sisters, summon a harem of beauties on snap of fingers, use chorus of indices to dramatically cast Great Flood (+DeepSea10k). Girls will also help to protect chosen people in range.
The whole conversation with Dia just now screams that the first undine Makoto accidentally used must have already been willing to help him due to this very reason instead of the bullshit Noah-sama made up about charm magic leading me to believe that Noah-sama knows more than she lets on
Well of course, duh
That's Noah-sama we are talking about. Remember Makoto's casual dissing her that she is always plotting something anyway?(when she sealed his arm with divinity)
About Dia and the great water spirit in general, if we talk about how she was an unique perfect self, most likely she would end up having a fair amount of power, but like it was said, in the titanomachia eas split up in many others, if they can become one through Makoto inf the Spirit King form, maybe that explains why is the "our king".
What do you think, fellas?
Now now, we now know he's a preschooler (actually closer to a newborn really) so we can afford to be nicer to him. And if Makoto were to end up with any of the Holy Goddesses, Alex would be his brother-in-law so yeah.
Also, regarding how Dia seem weaker than god, that's a given. We've been told that the power level goes something like Demigod < Spirit King < Gods after all. Naturally a Great Spirit can't be stronger than the gods if the gods are stronger than a Spirit King.
So it's like that they call the other great water spirit undine as sister's and as Dia mention that they (separated/ teared) of from one single entity during the war of God Titanomacyh ( probably after titan god's lost to holy god's)
Thank you as always for the hard work!
I could see Dia and Momo keep bantering while waiting for Makoto for 1000 years. Didn't Makoto "lose" control when fighting that Geralt guy , perhaps it is Dia who enraged she possessed Makoto.
I thought this was supposed to be the plot twist chapter. Damn, I was too excited.....Sigh the consequences of Reading the raws ahead..... I scammed Myself 🙃. 😂
“Our King, with you giving me a name, I have managed to incarnate in this realm. I will serve you till death do us apart.” (Dia)
Me: another one eh?!
Or more like, you are clinging too much.
“Hey, please don’t cling so much onto Master! You just joined and all!” (Momo)
“Huh? I have been by his side all the time, you know? You are the one that just recently became her disciple, right?” (Dia)
“Master, this girl is cocky!” (Momo)
“Our King, this shrimp is cocky, isn’t she?!” (Dia)
Oi oi, they are already fighting.
“Fighting between members isn’t allowed in this party.” (Makoto)
“…Muh.” (Momo)
“…Hmph.” (Dia)
Carnage, damn heroine wars almost happened 😂.
“Dia, you can’t reduce the output of your mana?” (Makoto)
“Oh my, Our King, this is already the lowest I can go, you know?” (Dia)
“Seriously…?” (Makoto)
Makoto always attract Overpowered girls😂
Every harem member or member can push him down physically lol.
*Every harem member or harem candidates can push him down physically lol.
The most powerful group of girls that he attracts is made up of Goddesses by the way (Ira, Noah, Eir).
I mean, I'm fairly sure even human Momo can. He's that weak.
Maybe don't mention there's gonna be a plot twist coming soon? In fact, don't say anything in reference to possible future events?
Hmmmm, alright bro👍, but I don't remember putting a reference of future events thou, after I read the raws.. The plot twist thing was me expecting that this will be it (suppose to be. that was i thought but im wrong ) chapter , and so that i can have a better and accurate information on the translation rather in raws, Reading ahead or not. The future events is quite (some are) predictable.🤔
Yeah, that's fine. I was just giving some advice.
Basically, what you said meant "a plot twist should be happening around now.", which is more information than I wanted to hear.
That doesn't actually tell you anything though... so what exactly is the problem? The periodic plot twist is an expected thing from the very start. We've gotten more than I could hope to count. So saying that there will be one... means next to nothing and certainly spoils nothing. It might a little if they had said there was a twist relative to a specific person/subject, that might be slightly different (but still pretty harmless).
But they didn't narrow even down to anything in particular, even to a range of things, nor exclude anything as a possibility. Literally anything could contain a routine plot twist. You've in fact learned nothing new from that. Thus no harm, no foul. Not containing even a hint of spoiler, you have no reasonable cause to be upset with the contents of their comment, let alone telling them what to do about it.
Plot twists exist. Yes. And they come at often unexpected times. Sometimes they're predicted in speculation (or spoilers disguised as speculation), and sometimes not. That's not the point.
This tells us that there's a twist incoming, and soon. Maybe it's next chapter. Maybe it's the one after. Point is, it's close to happening, and that's a spoiler.
He doesn't mention anything that can be narrowed down, so that should be fine. Plot twists are everywhere here I'm actually tempted to meme it with that Toy Story meme.
It's not the presence of a plot twist that's the issue. We're in the past. Things are going to be revealed and recontextualized frequently. Meme if you want. That doesn't make a spoiler not a spoiler.
The problem is the timing. We never know when it's coming, and the comment narrowed down the time frame.
I dunno, I mean a lot of things so far has been a Plot Twist to the point that just claiming a plot twist is coming doesn't feel problematic. IMO it's not really a meaningful thing mentioning a Plot Twist is coming, as long as there's no further qualifier. Say maybe someone says that a plot twist is incoming about the identity of Iblis after a lot of buildup about their possible identity, that'd be problematically specific. But if it's just plot-twist..., well plot-twist about what? About how the Holy Dragon is actually Anna? About how Anna is actually dead and we just haven't found out yet? Something else? Maybe Makoto going to get eaten here so we can follow Abel going all Count of Monte Cristo on the dragons before forcing the Holy Dragon to help, only to find out Makoto has actually taken over Iblis' position as the GDL (because Iblis is actually a girl and is now all over Makoto), causing Abel to break down and then bad end?
IMO it's been generic enough to not ding the spoiler alarm, but then again feel free to feel otherwise. If it's not deleted until now then it's probably safe enough.
I don't care what the actual plot twist is. That's not the point.
The point is that if you've read the raws ahead of time, don't talk about the things you've read somewhere unspoiled readers would be reading.. The treatment should be that if the translation hasn't gotten to it, then the events should be treated like they don't exist.
It's really not that complicated. Wordpress doesn't give people the option of hiding spoiler text, and people who are only waiting for Reigokai's translation will read and interact more than anywhere else. This is the one place where people are most likely to be spoiled.
Weakest Mage has been dealing with spoiler problems for a good long while already. This is not the place to be toeing a line.
There's going to be a plot twist. In fact, there will be multiple plot twists.
Sure, sure, snark away. As long as people watch what they say, I don't care.
I'm sure no one wants to actually spoil shit, they're just excited. The other option is not looking at comments. It's not a good habit, it doesn't add anything to the experience at the end of the day. Me doing this is also just a waste of time
Of course. There are only two types of spoilers, really. First are when the person who does it doesn't think it's a spoiler. Second are if people do what you were doing earlier and just trying to get a rise out of people for personal fun-trolling.
Discussing in the comment section adds plenty to my experience. Maybe not for you, but clearly you don't care about spoilers as much and our way of enjoying this is different. Not to mention Reigokai himself has said plenty of times in the past that he draws motivation from comments, and now it's become a thing where he has to curate for spoilers and consequentially get spoiled by pricks who don't care.
Besides all that, why should I be the one to mind reading in the comment section of an ongoing novel? I don't go into any forums or anything discussing spoilers because that'd be dumb. The assumption should be that the comments on this site are spoiler-free up to the chapter they're under.
Ignore their nonsense... you haven't spoiled a single thing there. Not even a little. That's like saying
>In the future, Makoto will have a conversation.
Considering he has them routinely, that spoils nothing.
A non-descriptive "could be literally anything" plot twist tells us nothing at all.
Plot twists are a pretty regular event. Knowing that yet another plot twist exist in the future doesn't actually change the reader's expectation of the story at all. Nor does it introduce new information. Nothing.
There is no spoiler in your comment, and no reason you shouldn't have posted it. They're simply being unreasonable.
It's not nonsense, and you don't get to decide what is and isn't a spoiler, least of all for a series that's been rife with spoilers. If you know a horror movie has a lot of jumpscares, that doesn't mean exclaiming that a jumpscare is coming isn't bad etiquette.
And fundamentally, the issue is mentality. I gave a suggestion and didn't give Nathaniel a hard time for it. Maybe if people who read the raws were more careful or strict with what they said, comments in this series wouldn't be filled with so many fucking spoilers.
"Oh, it's fine. It's not a spoiler.", said every non-troll spoiler ever. If you made the decision to read the raws, then it's up to you to be responsible and considerate of what you say. Sometimes mistakes slip through, but at least try.
And also overpowered boys...
Both heroes of light (Sakurai and Abel) is inside his harem after all ~
Also can't wait for the Dragon-san... And how they ask it to join
I pat Momo’s head and she clung to me happily.
This girl’s so cute…
It is hard to believe she is the same Great Sage-sama of the future.
That’s a flag. Are you falling for the charms of Momo-chan now Makoto? Loli power ftw!
It’s confirmed that Dia has sisters now. There have been talks about it in the past but yeah. This just confirms it. I’m surprised that +999 proficiency is still not enough to reach God-rank though. What would it take for him to reach that status? It would practically make him a Water Spirit King except without drawbacks.
And the white dragon is so sus. Will you transform into a girl next dragon-san? I feel like she’s Anna because of the flags. I’ll just wait and see.
Most likely to reach god level he needs to break that 999 limit, gods are beyond mortal standards so to become one he likely needs to find a way to grow beyond what the soul book displays like when he became the spirit king of water. Perhaps he will find a way to perform a limited transformation into spirit king form, some lesser form with a limitation that he can learn to control
Saying someone/something is cute doesn't necessarily imply sexual interest. Various animals are cute, but I don't have that sort of interest in them LOL.
/no offense intended to furries
You can enjoy cuteness simply for cuteness's sake. Although I'd say some of his earlier comments regarding Momo are pretty suspect... so possibly he did mean it that way after all.
Don't forget that another important part of rank is the amount of mana. And in fact, one can use higher tier magic even with low proficiency (example being Lucy), just that it's easier for the magic to run out of control (again, example is Lucy).
It's been mentioned before that Proficiency should be able to reach four digits, back when synchronization with Undine was being talked about. That is, it'd normally require 1000 Proficiency (which Makoto bypassed with Charm Magic). So it's really more a question of "why is Makoto still stuck at 999 now?"
Let the bully*ahem* recruiting the dragons commence. The ancient dragons must be prideful and might require some "convincing" . He should get a big stick.
Big stick huh?! 🤣, is it me or did i Imagine something wrong ☺️
Oh no some Hajime level treatment ;)
🤣🤣🤣🤣, that stick, wait that was not a stick but rod😂 a big and hard one🤣
I knew I wasn't the only one to remember the bunker buster incident, hopefully this dragon doesn't awaken to anything strange
@Trygorn
Yeah, it would erase all the dignity of a dragon, especially if that dragon is said to be a Holy Dragon. It wouldn't cool anymore to ride such a creature. You would only feel shame and disgust.
Well even if it erase all the dignity , sometimes they could be serious and majestic I think like how Tio react when her beloved one is hurted or being talk trash to
@Just_random_Rei
Well, as long as they are serious and reliable when it matters the most, it should be acceptable.
I just realized something, he already has a loli vampire and a spirit arm (fake arm) so if the dragon is female with an odd quirk...
No, don't give me nightmares ! It's like saying that every anime studio will imitate the animation of EX-ARM ! (Well, I exagerate a lot. 😂😂😂)
Until the day he uses some water shotgun spell or a motorcycle instead of a water dragon for movement we are safe lol. I'm getting the feeling when Makoto returns to the future hes just gonna have this crazy line up of famous historical figures along side him as he casually gives his greetings to the girls. Also I wanna see everyone's reaction when he calls Momo casually by her name out of habit
Let's pray that Makoto doesn't awaken something this time
“But if it is how much mana I can gather, then I can answer. I want to say ‘the mana of all the water of this world’, but you wouldn’t be able to use it as you currently are. If it is in your current state Our King…I can call my Great Water Spirit sisters from around the whole world. They will listen to you as well, Our King.” (Dia)
“Sisters…? There’s not only one Great Water Spirit?” (Makoto)
“There’s others. The Spirits that were once one were torn apart by that wretched Tita—that certain war…” (Dia)
He had sisters ehh😏😏☺️. Buy one(Dia) take all(her sisters) for free, limited only for a king😂
time to occupy some kingdoms brothers... lets become kings before this time limited discount expires
He should try to fuse them with a spell called "Polymerization" . Maybe the final product will be of a way better quality. Perhaps they could also bear children as result ! (if they couldn't do it before)
@savioroffrance
Bruh, that's bad. But I like the idea😂.
But, if I was in charge, I would leave it be, just the way they are, cause you know, multiple of them( sisters) means multiple choices everyday😂
Well, maybe Makoto could just fuse them and defuse them ?
He could spend time flirting with a fused Great Water Spirit made up of a n number of Undine and defuse them afterwards.
If he does that, there wouldn't be any problems.
Bruh, ypir a genius
Bearing children? Hmm. You know how Makoto changed his arm to a spirit form. What if he changed... into spirit form?
You know that opens possibilities that could push this series in a very strange direction.
Well, when makoto turned into the water spirit king Alex saw MULTIPLE blue skinned woman with him, so it was already hinted that there were multiple great water spirits, also considering that dia herself said that she didn’t had a name that means that “undine” is her species, not a individual
I'm willing to bet the great spirits are in fact the remnants of the spirit weapons from the war, we already know that spirit weapons can control the elements of the entire world. I think its unlikely they were able to have more then 1 spirit weapon of the same element and the great spirits together can control their respective element on a world scale so it stands to reason they had complete control when they were 1 being during the war. Could be wrong but it feels pretty plausible they are the remnants of the spirit weapons aka spirit kings
The whole Spirit Weapon thing has been described, at least from the Holy Gods' perspective, through Alex's education. Per chapter 210 :
> The Titans would give will to nature like earth and wind, and would use those as weapons.
> The names of those weapons were called:
> -Great Fire Spirit, Salamander.
> -Great Water Spirit, Undine.
> -Great Wind Spirit, Sylph.
> -Great Earth Spirit, Gnome.
> And there was apparently an existence that ruled over them.
> The people of the mortal realm would call him Spirit King, and the Gods would call it Spirit Weapon.
So at least according to that, the Great Spirits and the Spirit King have always been separate. But maybe the Great Spirits used to be singular, at least among themselves (i.e it used to be that there's only one Undine, one Salamander, etc).
