"It's Sabellia,"
Heine murmured.
If Quercus had been inspired by Sabellia, that would make sense.
Sabellia disappeared over eight hundred years ago, when Quercus had just begun its invasion with foreign species.
—For such long-lived creatures, being off by a few decades could still be considered "just now."
In the blink of an eye, eight hundred years had passed and the civilized world had even changed its calendar.
Then, a few decades ago, mages built a communication station here.
After it was built, Quercus quickly declined.
So, it remembered Sabellia's research from back then.
The School of Transformation.
That's why Sabellia knew nothing about all this.
At that time, he was still locked in a battle of wits with Ilai on Ying Xian Mountain.
Quercus had separated its consciousness and Soul Substance.
What Karina, Mantis, and Volchi split away wasn't the soul, but the Soul Substance.
That's why they all suddenly powered up into bosses.
