As expected, the devil is hidden in the details. That ancient "Existence," the situation seems even more bizarre.
When the Jade Soul Master appeared as Melia, the entire performance was nothing but natural.
Even the subsequent adjustment of ranking to scare oneself was flawless.
In that atmosphere, descending from the Second Phase rather than ascending further brought out a more distinct sense of mockery and disdain.
Now it seems, perhaps it's not just reluctance to ascend higher, but fundamentally impossible?
The statement "Melia actually does not exist" seems to be gaining credibility.
So to summarize, the Ancient Supreme Melia, name, authority, symbol... even the place of her followers exist, but more than one piece of evidence proves that she herself does not exist.
Even the legacy being digested by the Jade Soul Master, inheriting it himself, would be lost once upgraded to the First Phase... Isn't that a bit too severe?
