Chapter 2 - Trailer 2 : Aaron's speech

" was born to face his trauma. From my perspective, his ascension was inevitable..."

"Because this was his fate - the fate I foresaw..."

"It cannot be changed. It shouldn't be changed for anyone. Not even me."

nodded in confirmation.

Hey~

Anyone here?

Good, someone's still listening.

You must have read that lunatic's letter by now - yes, the one I wrote.

I suppose you don't understand who He refers to? Someone important? Of course.

Let me explain then.

But... due to certain unspeakable reasons... I cannot utter His name—

Yet I can tell you this: He was born a god - among all the deities in the [Pantheon], I only believe in !!

No one is born divine.

That's precisely why is special.

---

Very well then—

As mentioned in my letter...

He was 's childhood friend...

And He was the one who left him.

I don't care if was a cold-blooded betrayer.

He had His reasons.

I trust His choices.

The story continues...

met Elias because of duty.

Each century, He must descend to guide an exceptional candidate's path to godhood.

That's how Elias came to know .

Truthfully, shouldn't have to endure such labor—

But it was 's decree! He couldn't refuse!!

couldn't even claim His own freedom - He's the true victim here!!!"

---

When was young, he became his mother's experiment.

All because of her selfish hatred for .

For revenge, she sacrificed everything - family, reputation...

Pushing her son toward godhood through inhumane experiments.

The most selfish mother I've ever witnessed, forcing her child onto a path of vengeance.

Naturally, - bound by 's command - met Elias in Evelyn's 'mortal hell'.

For this mission, crafted a new mortal vessel, all just to meet Elias - the brightest among candidates.

Oh, how 'great' he is.

But the peace didn't last. Evelyn, merely to awaken her son—

Shot dead before Elias' eyes!!!

She robbed me of my chance to meet Him!!!

I hate them both, but Evelyn most.

Were she alive, I'd plunge a blade through her heart to reclaim 's justice—

Ha... but the dead stay dead...

All I can do now is spread my letter worldwide - only then can escape fate.

With this, I broadcasted the letter to every device on earth, my only hope to find Him in the sea of souls.

This is my final service to . May You reclaim past glory, <###>...

May glory be to . As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.

May Your holy name be praised forever.

Amen.

—Crack—

shut off the screen displaying 's fervent speech.

The letter in his hand had already turned to ash.

"Our goals align. But no matter how you struggle, you can't alter His fate."

"I understand your hatred toward me. Yet to save Felix with your power, you must follow my 'method'."

"Because you were doomed from the start—Aaron, you chose the wrong approach this time."

So spoke Elias—who was all along.
