Chapter 1079: Section 678: Who Knows (3)_2
"...That is why we ultimately couldn’t find our mentor anymore." Lena began, holding the diary, she looked at the deity before her: "Esteemed Nameless, did you finally purify our mentor?"
"Yes, I was powerless against the corruption on him. I could only ensure that the forces of Subspace couldn’t corrupt me and my beloved, but your mentor... in his final hours, he was becoming more insane, more forgetful, like your fellow student here. Ultimately, as per his request, I purified his soul, sending his shell to that star," the seemingly young deity finished speaking as their ceiling turned transparent, letting the sunlight cascade down and illuminate the underground world.
"Then, Your Highness, may we know who Malin really is?" Anna looked at the Nameless before her, never before so urgently wanting to know the truth as she did today.
"He is Malin, a stubborn soul," Nameless’s answer was very simple.
So simple that it couldn’t really be considered an answer.
Lena shook her head: "Your Highness, you should know this child has issues. In the diary, my mentor mentioned he failed to protect his child, his child’s soul was replaced."
"The advancement failed, your mentor finally took an extreme path, and Malin was the best choice among all the failures and replacement routes. The Goddess of Fate chose different souls, but only Malin succeeded... at least in his view, he succeeded." The young man spoke with a smile: "I’ve seen the future the Goddess of Fate showed me, Malin made choices that puzzled even me, but... he should have succeeded."
Anna seemed to have understood something, she merely sighed in helplessness.
Lena didn’t understand, but she noticed the sadness on Anna’s face, so she too understood something and looked at Nameless: "Esteemed Your Highness, I wish to know, in the future shown by that woman, will my Lady Faye achieve happiness?"
"... Yes, the greatest happiness, that’s all I can say. If I say more, the woman you speak of will discover the conversation between us." Saying this, the deity walking on the ground approached the remains, and a young boy was rising from within them.
"Joe, are you awake?"
