the Little Mage’s 23 years of memories were but a single drop in a washbasin beside the Blood King’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the memories fully merged, the Little Mage would inevitably lose himself, believing he was the Blood King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Purification System protected all players—no external memories or emotions could influence them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because any feeling brought by memories required emotion as a vessel; memories without emotion were like a movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purification System erased all emotion, leaving only pure information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Blood King’s memories contained pleasure from slaughter and conquest, but the Purification System stripped away these mental sensations, retaining only the facts of past killings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A similar case can be seen with the Taunt Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the early containment of Taunt Primordial, many players were struck by the Taunt’s rule characteristics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They developed uncontrollable, intense rage; the illusion woven by the memories trapped them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the Purification System cleaned this memory, all emotional content vanished, and the players suffered no lasting impact from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood King’s memories were immeasurably long;

It’s not really a big deal. The early part of the video does prove you became the villain unknowingly. From a benevolent perspective, I believe you truly acted without intent.
