No

Biodata

Background / History

Aurora City Disaster

During the destruction of Aurora City, No was the only person in a Divine Temple who accepted Ryan’s claim that the Gods had abandoned humanity and that another God could protect sincere believers. He decided to spread the news despite the other survivors’ skepticism 207.

As Triton’s flood overwhelmed the city, No prayed to the Gods for the survival of his people. His prayer reflected the desperation of the Humans facing divine destruction 210.

After the Great Flood

After surviving the Great Flood, No delivered a speech from a makeshift wooden platform. His words resonated with many other survivors, particularly those who had endured the disaster and were willing to reconsider their former beliefs 219.

His position was challenged by Ka Wei, who argued that not every God had ignored humanity and cited Hestia’s protection during the disaster. No’s speech and the ensuing discussion exposed the survivors’ divided views on divine benevolence 219.

Personality

No is characterized by strong faith, conviction, and a willingness to act on uncertain information. Unlike the people who remained in the Divine Temple, he believed Ryan because he saw no reason for Ryan to deceive them 207.

He also demonstrates courage and leadership. Even when most people rejected his claims, he chose to spread them, later addressing other survivors publicly after the flood 207 219.
