If the Heavenly Realm were considered a 'living being,' a conscious entity, what would it want?
The answer was simple: survival.
Mike understood this instinct well.
What had the creation of the Supreme Demon God by this world led to?
If the Supreme Demon God were to fully break free of its shackles, both this world and the Heavenly Realm would be destroyed.
To survive, the Supreme Demon God had to die.
"If we follow this line of reasoning…"
Mike realized something deeply unsettling:
Apollo… is the world source of the Heavenly Realm.
Or rather, he used to be.
Now, the butterfly was the true world source of the Heavenly Realm.
But what did this mean?
The moment the Tower of Truth was created, the instant the Heavenly Realm connected with this world,
The Heavenly Realm's world source had descended into the Tower of Truth.
Why?
To save itself.
