”Sage? Cage?”
The elderly pope could not help but sigh after hearing the two singular worlds that were corave instantly, Igor spoke to the girl in a soh it's rude, could you please tell ed girl briskly replied, blinking and slightly baffled”My last naonkin, he does not have any last nahtly and paused for a ni, before questioning the girl slowly again, placing weight on each word”May I know… Miss Hillya Ferragni, what did you see in the Sage's vision? Please do not hold anything back”
”I saw”
As if the elderly man's words seeped deep into her heart, Hillya who for soor of all that she saw in the Sage's vision
She had seen s
First, it was a world filled with scorched earth
The skies were covered in the dust of dancing sparksOn the land, the radiance of scorching lava outshone the sun by so much that it was a dull little dotForests were burnt into ash, streams dried by the intense fla into ever-present dust along with the cities of iant dihtness spreading from within as if seven dull suns
But the suns were soon extinguished tooSacred light broke through the glooreataxe and warhay after another, bashi+ng everything that stood in their way into uine sky and scarlet lava lakes, as well as endless black iron fortresses turned into floating islands in the void as the earth booh the skies as if the entire world was punctured by so shell
That was the end of the world—all things were in ruinsWhat the girl beheld was the sight after the war ended
”It was a thousand years ago,” the girl ainst countless e and the Gods had destroyed several floors of the abyss then, ending everything”
”In that war, countless cities were pulverized, displacing manyBut even a against the innulory, and also… traitors, who sold us out just to survive”
Those people, who knelt on the floor, had aimed their sharp blades true on the backs of those ere still standingAstonished face and fresh blood fell upon the land simultaneously, sent to the dust by those ver the unified defense lines and deliberately welcoainst the destroyers of all peace and prosperity
”Those were the ancestors of the Grandia people,” Hillya closed his eyes as she spoke softly of the truth she had witnessed”Perhaps due to coercion or teht path and went on a journey they would never return fro fore and the Gods had put an end to all chaos, they started a final judgment
As the broken sun slowly descended, the wrath of the surviving Gods was filled with red dusk clouds that swirled over the skiesEven the Sage who loved the world had closed his eyes closely—a face ivenessThey did not choose to use their lives to protect their hoainst the de their blades instead against former companions
It was an inexcusable sin, an evil deed which price must be paid
Traitors do not deserve absolution or salvationEven plants would cast aside those filthy souls, unwilling to carry their tears
”The Sage said that he would use the purest Holy Light to clean their soulsHowever, their souls do not deserve to enter the world of Mycroft's reincarnation cycle in the coallantly”
The dragon-winged girl's narrative has not yet ended as she continued softly”But ht, suggested another form of punishment”
She was an elf, who appeared as if she was an incarnation of the stars, whose jade hair dropped like satin, reaching the earthAn apostle who held the Starfall Longbow in hand and stood in the frontlines in the battlefield against the Evil Gods, she beseeched her teacher's forgiveness, saying that though the sinners deserve punishiven a chance to be born, grow and atone for the sins of their predecessors
The Celestial Apostle as ranked at sixth added that it was not easy for the spirits to be birthedTo destroy it so easily would quicken the death of Mycroft's already-fragile fla her past merits, so that the traitors would have a chance to redeem themselves, so that the many unborn souls had the opportunity of existence
The Sage kept silent for a long tiround, pleadingIn that veryabout the Mycroft Continent that approached destruction and that ate his ho time
In the end, he slowly nodded as he caave her his promise”
Nonetheless, the elderly popea flock of transgressors to a whole neorld and turning it into a cage that holds them—that's too much a waste!”
There was endless pity in the voice of that oldall sorts of information that the pope kne much of a threat the Mycroft Continent was in
A thousand years ago, the Sage had used the Evil God of Fertility as firewood to ignore the Fla-crumbled worldThere were millions of inhabitants in the Mycroft Continent fro on this world that would break at any given e had the power to find an Initial Flame so quickly in the void and shape it into a World of Order that was suitable for life, why not move all the races there and keep the sinners here instead, while arranging for an apostle to watch over theation, the nu on Grandia had surpassed billionsIf not for the undead spirits calaainst Mycroft—even withdied to that disaster, the survivors numbered up tohappening behind the scenes
Igor closed his eyes to think for a ain to stare at the silent Hillya
”I'm now clear on the causes,” he said dispassionately”But there's still e's penance?”
Igor's voice was now i layers of ripples that could vibrate the spirit and coressors to speak the truthHe never favored acquiring candor this way because it was a disrespect of the self-awareness that others possessed
However, this was a fact regarding torldsHe would notit—no matter how many times he had to
He was the pope of the Seven Gods Church, shelter to innocents, bedrock for the kindStill, that does not mean he was a coht
