"Odin…?"
Hearing Sam's conclusion, Alice's eyes widened in realization.
Odin. The mysterious man that appeared soon after half of humanity was wiped out. The savior who managed to push back against the Calamities and protect what's left of the human race. He's one of the founding members of the Resistance, the only military organization that still exists at this point and the sole producer of the Valkyries, the only weapons that can fight back against their enemies.
"I have nothing to confirm it, but the fact that he decided to disappear right before this message arrived is too suspicious."
If it wasn't clear that they had no hope before then it is now.
"The problem right now is if he's the only one running the game, or if the other big wigs are in on it as well." Sam said. "The only one who disappeared is Odin, but I doubt that he could've run everything on his own."
