"It sounds like the corpses you mentioned were very similar to the machines Shade encountered in Arcadia City, and the runaway machines during the explosion at the Royal Academy of Sciences in Tobesk. Only the materials were different."
Luvia voiced what everyone had been thinking, and Iluna nodded:
"Yes, and this incident was not the responsibility of the [Creation Church] alone. At the time, I summoned the leaders of three churches and discovered that only powers possessing the nature of 'destruction' could completely eliminate them. Aside from one intact corpse that was sealed by a Divine Ritual for research, all the other corpses were thoroughly destroyed. And when they were destroyed, crimson 'Life Fire Seeds' did indeed appear.
"I specifically watched the expression of that 'Iron Right Hand' from the [Creation Church], but unfortunately, I found no useful clues."
Besides coming to mooch breakfast, Iluna had come early in the morning mainly to inform Shade of this news:
"In other words, aside from Mechanical Creations, fire seeds symbolizing 'twisted life' can also appear on the dead, and the consequence is the birth of those 'undead' without undead traits."
After she finished speaking, she noticed that no one else at the table seemed particularly surprised. After last night's relic had gone out of control before the Old Gods Statue, Shade had already guessed that the "Life Fire Seed" would emerge in even more troublesome ways.
Thus, when Winnie brought breakfast to the table, Shade, Luvia, and Megan told Iluna about last night's events. During the breakfast that followed, Shade also explained everything he had encountered in Arcadia City over the past few days—
Mr. Bernhardt's proposal of "New Humanity," the emergence of the [Saint Alliance] and "Abominations," and signs of the [Blood Spirit School].
"So much happened over just one weekend?"
