"Finally..."
Ai Shiping's gaze flickered as he awoke from the illusion and murmured softly.
The memories of Ai Shiping had been engraved in his heart with such clarity.
That might have been the part Ring Angel was most unwilling to let go of—the origin he had carved into the depths of his heart.
Iver finally learned the identity of the Pillar God "Taboo," who had appeared only in the background of the "Molt Event" yet had never been recorded anywhere.
--That was none other than Ai Shiping, the Reincarnation Angel of the First Loop, who had ascended into a Pillar God!
Combined with his earlier deductions about the identity of Abyss Angel, Iver immediately understood the essence of Amber Angel--
Amber Angel had ascended from a sea monster shaped like a giant serpent. Its true form was nothing more than a human skull the color of amber, while its spine remained in the Material Realm, becoming the core of the Spirit Tower.
...A deity with a serpent's body and a human head, possessing a special skull and born from the sea; blindly loyal to amber, eternally guarding the sleeping amber, a tomb keeper who wished to "remember" everything. Amber Angel had even acted on part of Amber's authority as a Pillar God, yet the other Pillar Gods had no objections whatsoever. Even Hourglass acknowledged this arrangement.
Wasn't that Ai Shiping?
Just like Ai Shiping in the First Loop, who had abandoned his body and become the Golden Apple, leaving behind only his head!
From another angle... the word "amber" itself foreshadowed "amber encasing an insect."
If the insect was Pillar God Amber, then why was Amber Angel called "Amber"?
What had encased the "insect" back then, if not Taboo itself, transformed into a coffin?
And likewise...
