?Chapter 508: Chapter 509 Banster’s Deliberation Chapter 508: Chapter 509 Banster’s Deliberation Banster’s response was simple, straightforward, and honest.
Rune failed to react at first.
“What’s the point of saying all this?” the short, plump Rune grumbled, “With so many questions, I almost thought you were going to seal away the Church Ark as soon as you got back today…”
“I’m just emphasizing the risks behind this,” Banster’s expression remained unchanged, his gaunt and pallid face looking extremely serious, “We all know what happened back then in the Veserlan Thirteen Islands—the ‘Island Sinking’ is merely a mild euphemism. The essence of the incident was a large-scale connection between our reality and Subspace. That area of the sea is still unstable to this day, and those Leviathans…”
“They are safe, Banster,” Rune interrupted calmly, his eyes a deep blue as if imbued with a glint of calm and wisdom, “I’m not some mad scientist who would dare to bring relics from the border into the civilized world on a whim. The ‘corpses’ of those Leviathans were subjected to a full decade of research and verification at the Academy of Truth before I decided to convert them into Church Arks, after eliminating all unstable factors.”
Banster fell silent for a moment, until after more than a dozen seconds, Frem next to him broke the silence with a heavy voice, “In any case, given the situation at the time, we had to build the ‘Pilgrimage Arks’—Rune took some risks, but without those Arks, we might have lost contact with the Four Divinities by now.”
In the chaotic and dark space, four figures fell silent in unison.
“Sometimes I really can’t help but think that the four ‘Leviathans’ that appeared on the eastern border were some kind of gift from fate,” Rune shook his head, muttering in a low voice, “Without them, the Academy of Truth couldn’t possibly have built a Pilgrimage Ark suitable to act as a ‘Dustworld Divine Kingdom.’ And at that time, all of our other plans had slim chances of success—my friends, I admit, I did conceal many details about those Leviathans, but I hope you understand that was a border collapse… When I handed over the Ark back then, I told you not to be curious about their origins and to just treat it as a miracle.”
“A gift from fate…” Banster began slowly, “If possible, I really don’t want to hear that. It feels to me like a bloody sacrifice, offering up countless souls of the Veserlan Thirteen Islands to that ship, in exchange for today’s four Pilgrimage Arks.”
“That’s not a fair statement, there’s no evidence that the appearance of the ‘Leviathans’ is the work of the Homeloss. Things in the world are interconnected, and some events just happen to be related to others,” Rune reassured, “Moreover, ‘that ship’ is now sailing on the Endless Sea, and whether you like to admit it or not, its master has regained humanity. The warnings from the Homeloss, just like the warnings about the ‘border collapse’ discovered by Captain Duncan a century ago, must be faced and taken seriously, just as I often say…”
