The fact that such a ritual was passed down suggested that someone had done this before... and survived.
Elias recalled Usuma's notes mentioning that deities also have factions.
Could it be that those who enjoy the sight of an ancient god's corpse, those who find pleasure in it, are the ones who killed the sea god?
The mystery still lingered; Elias felt it wasn't as simple as it appeared...
While pondering these thoughts, Elias noticed a change in the key Tilly held.
The once rustic key began to emit a faint glow, gradually transforming into a silver key with intricate patterns.
Such a key matched Elias's notion of a divine, mysterious artifact.
Tilly noticed the change too, her eyes widening with excitement.
She gripped the key tightly, turning it as if it was inserted into a real door's lock.
With exhilaration, Tilly pushed open the "door."
