The biggest obstacle he had was the creation of a **Human Variant, Seki**, a warrior revived and modified by the **Divine Entity** with the sole objective of investigating the Saint Elite with a power that couldn't be stopped by its members.

To overcome this obstacle Erste created a fake-humanoid interface named "'*Azul**" from the remains of** Raid, clone of the original human **Azul Kizo,'*** to investigate and keep Seki under control.
