Once Annan began to ponder this matter,
his wisdom became a sharp blade, slicing through the seams of memory. Many concealed truths were revealed before his eyes—
The deity who modified Nicolas II's memories without completely erasing them was Yawen's lithic father.
So the question arose,
—Why him?
The Stone Father had been a sculptor in an era before the Idol School emerged, possessing the "magic within sculpture" and thus could be considered half an idol wizard.
But he had never mastered the skills of the Soul Snatching School, nor had he ever held power over memories and dreams.
Then, why was it Stone Father who undertook this task?
Was he truly unable to cleanse Nicolas II's memories?
Or perhaps...
Could the Hermes Faction's poison dust really only be produced by him?
Annan might have accepted this reason before.
But now, having peered into the depths of Nicholas's memories, he finally understood something.
