For hundreds of years, The Sleeper hidden beneath Typhon's old capital had sought to learn and analyze the secrets of the gods through an Ancient Device. They had once believed that device, with its immense power of confinement, was a cage meant to imprison fragments of a god. Yet they had never imagined that it was actually a container and altar built specifically for a god—it held the Eye of God.

This was undoubtedly an immense irony, and... terrifying.

The Sleeper's only stroke of luck was that the ancient Constraint Device had malfunctioned. The Eye of God contained within had been truly screened off, unable for the time being to return to the Divine Realm. It could only remain imprisoned like a genuine prisoner upon the "throne" originally prepared for it. Otherwise, it would have unleashed a divine calamity back then, one comparable in power to the "Upper Narrator incident."

The Sleeper had only two choices left: either completely destroy the Eye of God within the Constraint Field, or find some way to permanently isolate it from the Divine Realm, ensuring that even if the Constraint Device failed one day, that eye would not "tell" the god what it had seen.

Gawain frowned as he looked at the Starlight Aggregate floating opposite him. "The Orandell Great Collapse was caused while you were trying to destroy or seal the Eye of God?"

"It was one of the reasons, but not entirely because of us." Megall III's tone suddenly became somewhat strange, seemingly tinged with a sigh over fate's unpredictability. "We ultimately decided to destroy the Eye of God and formulated a plan for it. Over centuries of research, we had gained a certain understanding of that ancient Constraint Device and were able to exert greater control over it and make adjustments.
