Zenta's original name is Baliko, and he was part of a formidable race of ferocious fighters known as the Zorroxes. Baliko was the leader of this terrifying race of beasts. The Zorroxes killed and destroyed anything they came across, quickly rising to one of the most dangerous forces in the universe. With their incredible mix of abilities, the Zorroxes were able to quickly learn from their mistakes and share valuable information with one another. Baliko lead the cosmic-level genocide, killing and eating all those he comes across. The race killed simply for sport. Evidently, Baliko grew bored and declared war on the entire universe. He said that he wants to find someone worthy of fighting him. He continued to kill the universe until there was barely anything left.
The Four Divine Beings (Seilong, Byakko, Zelea, and Eyon) came down to stop Baliko and his terror. The Gods were able to defeat Baliko and eradicate his entire race of people. However, this was not enough. They all came to a consensus that Baliko must be punished for his actions, and thus, they each gave the beast a punishment they believed was fitting.
- Eyon made it that the physical bodies of the Zorroxes were gone from existence, not wanting anyone to get their hands on them.
- Zelea decided that the souls of the dead Zorroxes were to burn for all eternity, with no way of ever returning to the realm of living.
- Byakko took what Baliko held dear, and that was his eyes and his power. He stripped the beast of all his power as well as keep his eyes as personal trophies.
- Lastly, Seilong gave Baliko immortality before flinging him into the depths of the remaining universe. The reason he gave Baliko immortality was so he can live for all eternity with the punishment he was given. His fate was now at the mercy of the survivors of the universe. He effectively turned the tables on Baliko.
This was known as The Divine Punishment.
Flung into the living universe, blind and powerless, the people had their revenge on Baliko. Unable to die, he felt every bit of pain inflicted on him. If he were to 'die', he would wake up somewhere new. When Baliko was captured by the Royal Wind, they gave the beast a trial before finding him guilty of cosmic crimes. His sentence was death by beheading. The universe revered this day as a holiday, something worth celebrating. They were unaware of Baliko's immortality situation and assumed that anything that resembled him was a shape-shifter. They would kill it on sight.
Unable to count the amount of times he was killed, Baliko decided to go into hiding for 5,000 years deep into a thick forest, hoping that the universe would forget about his actions and move on, sparing him another painful death. Eventually, a man going by the name 'Paz', discovered Baliko. Paz was a well known martial artist throughout many worlds, whose teachings became the base of certain techniques. He took Baliko under his wing and taught him martial arts before admitting to Baliko that he was blind, just like him. The two bonded closer and closer until Paz gave Baliko the secret to fighting without vision, something he called Ethereal Vision. Paz gave Baliko one last test, and that was to fight him with the intent to kill. If he were to die in this match, then Baliko would have passed all his training and be given the name Zenta. He said that once he took on the life of Zenta, the real trials will begin. When the world of Paz's death spread, people were both morning and outraged that his star student was the one who killed him. After being in hiding for so long, the universe was out to get him once again, but this time they were after Zenta, not Baliko.
Eventually, Zenta learned compassion, honor, humbleness, and mercy as he traveled the universe. His fur started to lighten up and change from red to white. He began to see what Paz meant about the real trial. The trial was to move on from his past and become a new person, one people can aspire to. He met many people along his way, each one serving for both good and bad memories, but never once did Zenta shed blood. He fought many types of people, good and bad, and participated in tournaments to challenge himself. Every time he died, he would reflect on it instead of seek revenge. But he felt like he was missing something...
Millenniums had past and Zenta felt no purpose. He was gifted with strength, but had no idea how to truly use it. Zenta disappeared for 100 years, stuck in a deep meditation before figuring out what he wanted to do. He wanted to make amends to those he wronged long ago, each and every single soul he killed. Unfortunately, he had no idea how to do that, so he decided to travel the universe, seeking of a way to amend for his wrongdoings. Eventually, he took up jobs to guard or escort people until he eventually met a woman by the name of Erya.
Erya was the queen of a particular planet, known for its incredible wealth. She picked Zenta to guard her throughout her travels. Zenta agreed and stayed by her side for several years. Erya grew feelings for Zenta but it ended up being one-sided. Unable to take rejection, Erya dug up Zenta's past and discovered that he was the infamous Baliko. She desperately wanted Zenta to be apart of her life but Zenta refused. She ended up killing herself, burning her entire manor as well as the evidence of Zenta being Baliko as her last moment to prove her love for him. With Erya's death, the word spread quickly and Zenta had to go on the run once again. Eventually, people discovered the truth of Erya's suicide and pardoned Zenta, yet, some believe that Zenta still killed her.
More years went by and Zenta continued to travel, learning new things every day. After a few more years of hiding, the universe was calm once again, not knowing who Zenta is. He eventually came across an orphaned girl who refused to part ways with him. Zenta eventually accepted the child under his wing, calling her Cuki, and teaching her the martial arts he was taught.
