After gathering the imprints of the four Year-Gods, the four cosmic elements within Gilan fused on their own, making him a "saint" like Omer.
At first, this change had shown no obvious signs, but now it was beginning to reveal itself.
Gilan's spiritual intuition had unexpectedly allowed him to sense, in his sleep, a momentous event occurring over ten thousand kilometers away... Two Apostles had personally descended into the mortal world and begun fighting in the Russell Mountains!
That is...
Gilan got out of bed, draped himself in a black silk robe, and stood by the window, gazing north.
His violet eyes shone with a profound white light. His gaze seemed to cross the vast distance, seeing the blinding flashes within that endless mountain range and hearing the thunderous roars.
November Apostle "Demon Hound" Evgeni Lockhart, and December Apostle "Ferryman" Karl Rega.
Gilan thought to himself.
He narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
The fact that these two Apostles had descended to fight to the death was enough to reveal many things... Most importantly, Bu'ao had become serious. They had moved beyond probing each other and entered the final battle that would decide the victor!
Gilan knew very well that this contest, which had lasted for more than a century, would likely soon come to an end.
That night, it was not only him. Many eyes were fixed upon the Russell Mountains at the continent's far north, watching this unprecedented war in the mortal world.
Time quietly passed.
As night gave way to dawn.
Standing by the window, Gilan suddenly sighed.
"The 'Dream of the Remnant Worm' made by the Love God after its death truly is protecting this world..."
From more than ten thousand kilometers away, he saw that an enormous gap had been torn through the Russell Mountains.
