"Get the execution over with—before Okhema's sacred Law is disgraced and my creation of a New World is delayed," Anaxa urged.
"Teacher, are you really that impatient?" Phainon's eyes widened.
"I don't understand. If your theory is right, then once you become a Titan, you won't remember anything from your previous life... What's the point of becoming a god?"
