"Lord Amon, I thank you once again for your cooperation."
In the Void outside the world, everything was as it had been at the original location.
In front of Hermes floated three flickering crystal cores, reflecting his grim expression.
Some time had passed since Amon's 'birth,' and upon discovering the success of the experiment, Hermes immediately returned to the high tower, retrieved the items, and came back here.
A single success might have been just luck, so he planned to repeat his experiment.
However, as Hermes had feared, even though he tried the exact same method over and over again, the birth of Amon still seemed unreplicable.
Just like every previous time, the sliver of soul he released was never successfully assimilated by the will of the sleeping God of Stars within the crystal stone, transforming into an independent avatar with a close connection to the other.
