I mean, Titans did become Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gods are different from the Awakeners, and us Demigods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I don't think it's weird for someone among them to be larger than planets,\" Jack shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe it's time for you to start using that empty head. Gods aren't invincible. They have ranks too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo tapped on the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our continent's crust is not the corpse of Oceanus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Jack frowned. \"She – Luna Bartern – must have some reasons to believe the continent's crust is a corpse, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I doubt an ex-leader of an excavation team will make a decision like that on impulse,\" Jack said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are reasons, actually,\" Neo replied\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the red sea that surrounded the continent after a few hundred miles of normal sea area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This area was called the Blood Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even going near the Blood Sea could get one killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area had highly aggressive monsters, and the place was blanketed in a thick concentration of Death elementals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Peak Empyrean rank Demigods and higher could enter the Blood Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a high chance they would die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to such dangerous conditions, no one had been able to explore the Blood Sea completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus no one knew how large the planet actually was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She thinks the Blood Sea is the corpse's blood,\" Neo continued. \"And that the continent's corpse is the bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her previous team found a few bones during excavation, and they used them to create True Soul Weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lastly, the deeper you go, the thicker the presence of Death elementals grows. This presence of Death elementals grow no matter at which location you dig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is why she thinks it's the corpse of Oceanus,\" Neo explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That… makes sense, surprisingly,\" Jack muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed as he thought it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think she is right? If you found the bones there and used them for your True Soul Weapons, then—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True Soul Weapons are compatible with every element,\" Neo said, cutting him off. \"Normally, you need to use a special metal that has attunement to specific elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A sword made from Firestorm Stone will be compatible with Fire elementals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A spear made from Aquastars will be compatible with Water elementals,\" Neo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack tilted his head, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about ti?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True Soul Weapons can support every element, Jack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo paused before he continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That includes Void element.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart seemed to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A storm of emotions appeared within his eyes when he heard the word Void element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does that mean…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, the bones belong to someone who was compatible with Void element. Since each True Soul Weapon has a different Spirit, that means their bones belong to multiple 'beings'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack instantly understood what Neo was trying to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth and closed it, unable to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is… is that possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, those True Soul Weapons aren't normal. They can grow infinitely, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That means, the bones they were created from belonged to someone very powerful,\" Jack said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it was someone powerful, then it can't be from Earth. I mean, it can be an earthling who was corrupted by Void, but there is a high chance that…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...that the bones come from Invaders.
