Anatole's face changed upon hearing the implications behind these words: "You mean, the Creator isn't dead?!"
Neireida did not answer him directly: "The Creator fashioned this world; the world's will is His will. For that day, He began His preparations long ago. His opponent is far stronger than we have imagined, strong enough to drive even gods to despair."
Odin!
If there is a god who has been preparing for the end since the day of His birth, that god must be Odin!
Anatole had never linked Odin with the Creator, but the creation of Rune Characters had indeed been peculiar. He had studied these characters extensively, and found that they harnessed forces even more minute than the essence of matter itself. Their purity was unparalleled, yet they erupted with immense power.
These were the writings of ancient gods!
