Because there had been a precedent where the "Creator of Innocence" stored Divinity in special items for dissemination, Shard knew that acquiring Divinity did not necessitate confronting a Deity directly.
After learning some information about the Sea Return ritual, he suspected that "the power of the Evil God" in the deep sea referred to Divinity. Although the probability was small, compared to directly confronting the Evil God to snatch its power, facing the tsunami of the submerged city to explore the secrets of the Progeny of the Evil God was nothing.
Seeking Miss Galina to inquire about the secrets of the Sea Return was for this information. Besides the Witch, Shard believed that the Guiding Light Hermitage also had data.
"You..."
Mr. Edmund looked at Shard in surprise, not expecting him to ask such a question:
"I thought you were here to protect friends... what exactly do you want to do?"
"To protect this city."
