Under Uriel's expectant gaze, Angel slowly said:
"In my view, there are at least two possibilities."
"The first possibility may be hidden within this Instance."
Why had Priest Sion sealed away Ligota's living soul? The only logic Angel could think of was... resurrection.
He had carefully preserved a living soul. If not for the hope of "life," then could it have been for the pursuit of "death"?
Following that line of thought, perhaps Priest Sion had already found a way to "resurrect" someone. That was why he had sealed Ligota's living soul in advance, waiting for the right moment.
Of course, there was another possibility.
Priest Sion had sealed Ligota's living soul because he had no way to resurrect her either, and could only use this method to prolong the time her living soul could exist.
Waiting things out for a change in the winds.
Perhaps, in the distant future, someone might discover Ligota and then resurrect her?
As far as possibilities went, Angel personally leaned more toward the former.
After all, the latter was practically placing every variable on an uncertain future. That was somewhat contrary to common sense.
"So, keep searching for the fragments of truth. Perhaps once we find the final missing piece of the puzzle, we'll see hope..."
Thought flashed through Uriel's eyes. After a moment, he nodded solemnly.
Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with Angel's explanation.
However, he still had doubts in his heart. If Priest Sion truly possessed the power to resurrect the dead, then why had he himself become what he was now?
Uriel kept those doubts buried inside. He understood very clearly that the answers to every mystery would ultimately rest upon that final fragment of truth. No amount of speculation now would help.
"What about the second possibility?" Uriel asked.
