  • The Sage concludes that Shin’s true objective is not peace but absolute power. By controlling the new world, Shin would become an unquestionable god.
  • The Sage recounts the history of his sons, Indra and Asura, whose opposing ideals created a cycle of conflict that continued through reincarnation.
