"Homunculus..."
The High Priestess of the Moon Goddess Temple gazed at the bizarre, writhing white creatures before her and couldn't help but mutter an unfamiliar term.
Homunculus, also known as "Artificial Life Form," is a concept proposed by the alchemists of the Hermes Cult, symbolizing the connection between the microcosm and the macrocosm. These beings naturally possess a certain level of consciousness and an almost immortal body, capable of serving humans.
However, because this idea oversteps human boundaries and offends the authority of the gods, even the most radical alchemists within the Hermes Cult dared not attempt it lightly.
Therefore, "Homunculus" was usually regarded as nothing more than a rumor.
In order to unite all the forces they could against the Beast Disaster, the Moon Goddess Temple turned a blind eye to some of the minor actions of the Hermes Sect.
