"Candidates found once in ten thousand, the foremost among the Chrysos Heirs. If my teacher and I weren't certain they had the potential to bear divine authority, we would never have invited them."
"And forcing mortals to shoulder that duty would be no different from sending them to the gallows."
Hearing Aglaea say that, Dan Heng felt a headache coming on.
He had no idea what would become of Amphoreus if one Divine Position remained unclaimed.
From what he had observed, most who inherited a Titan's divine authority had some connection to that Titan.
Nikadori had chosen the princes of his own city-state. Cthulhu would likely choose Anaxa, the one most likely to catch her attention.
But Oloronis...
Was there anyone among the surviving Chrysos Heirs who had a close connection to her?
At that thought, the same figure suddenly flashed through everyone's mind.
"Mimi..." Dan Heng narrowed his eyes.
Come to think of it, Mimi had not appeared since Yan Huan left.
Had she followed Yan Huan out of Amphoreus, or had she remained with that Soul Steel body...
If it was the latter, that would be bad.
"Brother Dan Heng, do you know where Mimi is?" Phainon suddenly asked.
Oloronis had entrusted Mimi to Yan Huan. If anyone could inherit the Aeon of Years' Divine Position, it would have to be one of those two.
"She may already be gone."
Dan Heng's gaze remained calm.
"In the worst case, the explosion let the Fire-stealer escape with his life, but caught Mimi, who was dwelling inside Yan Huan."
"Is there a better possibility?" Phainon asked uneasily.
"There is."
Dan Heng spoke gravely:
"Mimi may have gone beyond Amphoreus along with Yan Huan's transferred consciousness."
If that theory was right, it meant life from Amphoreus could leave this world.
