While the difference between Zatiel's 97% and The Sage's 93% may not seem much, the truth was that the disparity was abyssal.
The Sage's talent allowed him to glimpse the might of Rank 10 and maybe, just maybe, display a fraction of that power, like the Incarnation of Death and Destruction did in his peak.
However, Zatiel's completion percentage meant his current potential would allow him to put a foot in that mythical realm. Of course, he still had a long way to go, and he could easily fall in his path or fail to keep his destiny's momentum.
While the title Lord of Beginning and End was extraordinarily overbearing and imposing, Ancestral Root could not help but think it perfectly suited the man in front of him.
