Goddess of Light Athena had awakened. She reached out to stop Medivh from proceeding with his next plan.
"Goddess!"
Medivh excitedly presented the Crown of Light-Dark Tears. For now, only Goddess of Light Athena had awakened; she was not yet the Light-Dark Sovereign.
He thought that once she put on the Crown of Light-Dark Tears, she could ascend to become the Eighteenth-Rank Light-Dark Sovereign.

Medivh smiled and bared his neck, ready to meet his death. His mission was complete. He had sacrificed himself to save the world, and his death would be meaningful.
"Goddess, Medivh only committed such a grave offense
