Chapter 64: Together
Fels had researched resurrection for eight hundred years without a single success.
The reason he was able to successfully revive Wiene was because her soul was still present.
Correspondingly, after the people of gekkai died, their souls would be guided to tenkai.
And they would undergo a clean reset in tenkai before reincarnating back into gekkai.
It was like completely erasing the parts of a person, including their memories and subjective consciousness.
If everything disappeared, was this person still the same?
To the gods, yes.
To Sion, the answer was an absolute no.
As for the people of gekkai?
Did it matter how they viewed this point?
Furthermore, most people couldn't even understand such complexities.
Regardless, Sion had no intention of assimilating into this world but that was a matter for the future.
If he could obtain this kind of magic stone to use as a target for sonar detection, perhaps it would be easier to develop soul perception.
This type of magic stone wasn't difficult to acquire. He just needed to mention it to someone in the hera familia.
"The second method is Hieroglyphs."
Hieroglyphs were the script used by the gods.
It's used to initiate their arcanum.
The functions of the falna were all written and based on hieroglyphs.
However, using hieroglyphs required divine power, meaning they were magic formulas that only gods could utilize.
Rather, regarding Mind and spells, the former was an imitation of divine power and the latter imitated the functions of Hieroglyphs or the arcanum.
To the gods, everything mankind had was nothing more than an inferior imitation.
"If I can learn hieroglyphs and translate them into spells, I might be able to construct soul related rituals."
Rituals, these were his starting point and they were also an indispensable aid on the path of arcane.
In Haruhime's storyline, the goal was to use a magic ritual and astronomical timing to seal her soul within the killing Stone.
However, there wasn't much content related to the soul. He needed to learn Hieroglyphs to recreate and recombine spells, thereby inventing new magic rituals.
"I have finally reached this point..." Sion sighed.
Once magic research reached a certain level, getting involved with hieroglyphs was inevitable.
Sion's theories would eventually lead to hieroglyphs, as they were the origin of all things.
"If it's Hieroglyphs, I know them."
Sitting nearby, Meteria heard Sion muttering to himself about learning hieroglyphs and spoke up, "But I only know some of the basics. For magic related content, you can ask sister."
"Is that so, then I will leave it to you guys." Sion snapped out of his thoughts and said with a smile.
Sion wasn't surprised by this, because Meteria loved books.
Many magic formulas, ancient tomes, and academic texts were recorded in hieroglyphs.
Sion estimated that the written language was brought down by the gods. It later evolved into the continent's common tongue.
Though, learning hieroglyphs was highly difficult, as every single character had a corresponding magic meaning.
"Leave it to me." Meteria confidently waved her hand.
Sion wasn't completely ignorant of Hieroglyphs. He had learned most of the basics so there was little Meteria could help him with.
Alfia had also heard their conversation. She walked slowly down the stairs and said, "Your progress is too fast. For mages and sorcerers, this kind of situation is truly rare."
Alfia and Meteria had a shared room in Hera's villa.
Generally, this was a place where only executives and the support staff taking care of them were qualified to live.
Besides that, the twins also had an independent courtyard outside the villa.
"Can I ask for your help?" Sion asked with a smile.
"Mhm, after all, I owe you a favor," Alfia said calmly.
"Sister, you shouldn't say things like that to family."
Completely oblivious, Meteria complained, "I want you and Sion to get along well, it would be best if we could all be together."
"Meteria..." Alfia's gaze softened slightly, but seeing Sion, she let out a light hmph and said, "I-i don't want to be with this guy."
Alfia specifically brought up the favor to mask her attitude.
