Iver studied Plotinus intently, trying to discern the source of his confidence from his words.
Was it confidence—or arrogance?
Or was he carrying secrets even he himself knew nothing about?
"Amon..."
Iver murmured the name of Plotinus's current faith.
Amun—the name of the Second Sun among Horus, and also Tai Yi, worshiped by the Primordial Empire.
Iver now knew that Tai Yi was the world's first Pillar God.
He had been the first Pillar God of the First Source River, born after the Candle Keeper reopened the Source River, decompressed the Sin Thorn, and recreated the Material Realm with its power.
—The Path of the Sun, the original Creator.

This should clearly have been a victorious revenge. Yet for some reason... he felt a wave of emptiness.
