"Creation Goddess's memory is the key to opening Lord of Madness's prison?" Even someone as steady as Izax couldn't help crying out this time. The old demon's eyes widened, shining as brightly as his head: "So, in order to seal the prison forever, she 'cut' away her own memories?"
Creation Goddess had severed her memories so cleanly and erased every trace so thoroughly that he had used the incredibly apt word "cut."
"Exactly," Asuman's voice was as even as ever. "It was a measure of last resort. You probably find it difficult to imagine how powerful and strange Lord of Madness was. In fact, completely destroying it was almost impossible. It represented the universe's primordial state, the initial data of all things. Completely destroying Lord of Madness would essentially mean destroying the universe itself. Thus, Creation Goddess's only option was to strip away its power and seal it permanently."
Lily hurriedly pressed on. "Then why leave behind a 'key' at all? And after leaving the key, why go to such lengths to erase it?"
"Because it was unavoidable. Creation Goddess did not intentionally leave behind a key. Rather, after the seal was completed, her memories became the key, turning into a hidden danger that could allow Lord of Madness to escape."
Hao Ren furrowed his brow, recalling some knowledge he had learned from Raven 12345. "Was it because of a True God's 'informational entanglement'?"
"It seems you truly are a True God's envoy. These aren't things ordinary people can grasp." Asuman expressed his approval of Hao Ren. "That's right. Creation Goddess's memories became a vessel for Lord of Madness's power. A True God's influence over the world was so powerful that even if she merely remembered the name 'Lord of Madness,' its shadow would remain permanently in the universe's background
