I'm not a God like Goddess Tellus because, during my younger days as an Alchemist, I made a mistake that probably scarred me for life." But you look so young, though.
He added, "My desire to do the impossible without enough resources and knowledge led me to my current appearance. Despite that, I believe nothing is still impossible. I spent my whole life researching, and I can confidently say that I've reached enlightenment in Alchemy."
