Facing Yuuko's question, Lumine replied indifferently, "The content of this book seems to have been provided by Istaroth."
"Istaroth?" Yuuko frowned, curious about this new name.
"Istaroth is the Archon of Time," Lumine explained.
Yuuko fell silent again, and after a long while, he tentatively said:
"So, this person named Istaroth has likely experienced the War of Creation and the Year of the Scorched Fire? Their lifespan must be incredibly long then, right?"
Lumine shook her head, "I'm not entirely clear on the specific facts, but what's certain is that this Archon of Time has a significant connection to the current Celestia."
Hearing this, Yuuko let out a sigh of relief:
"It seems truly interesting. The one on Celestia is apparently the God of Creation or something, and... I don't even know if it's still the original Celestia, and then there's this so-called Istaroth..."
Lumine sighed softly:
"This is the truth I have been pursuing. Unfortunately, the past events of the sun and moon do not record the truth. It is still uncertain whether the one in the sky is the first throne or the second throne..."
Hearing this, Yuuko stared intently at Lumine:
"Then, Miss Lumine, why are you so determined to know this truth? If the truth is that the second throne replaced the first throne, what would you do then?"
At the same time, a tremendous aura erupted from Yuuko!
Lumine showed a surprised expression. She looked at Yuuko deeply for a few moments, then sighed softly:
"Is that so? So Yellow Fox, you already detected my identity?"
Yuuko spread his hands, "It's hard not to notice. After all, Miss Lumine appearing alone in Enkanomiya is simply too strange."
"Enkanomiya is a place the people of watatsumi island try their best to hide. Without special means, it's impossible to enter."
"Unless there are special spatial transmission methods, like those of the Abyss."
"Considering that the Abyss has also been eyeing this book recently, one can only associate Miss Lumine with the Abyss, right?"
After hearing these words, Lumine sighed again, "It seems I was careless."
Yuuko didn't stop, continuing to press, "Then, Miss Lumine, what exactly is the Abyss, and what is your purpose?"
As he spoke these words, Yuuko stared intently at Lumine.
He would adopt different approaches based on Lumine's answer.
However, Lumine wasn't flustered. Instead, after a light sigh, she spoke:
"Yellow Fox, I will tell you everything, but before that, you should know about the existence of the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah, right?"
Yuuko raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded, "Yes, that's the nation that was destroyed by Celestia many years ago."
At this point, Lumine continued:
"At that time, under the joint efforts of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and the Seven Archons, the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah suffered a catastrophic disaster. I witnessed a nation instantly go from prosperity to ruin."
"A nation once filled with laughter and joy instantly became ruins."
"Children who were once playing happily instantly became remnants in the ruins."
After a heavy sigh, Lumine continued to explain:
"However, at that time, the citizens of the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah were not completely wiped out, but most of them were cursed by the Heavenly Principles..."
"Under that curse, the people began to go mad, their appearances gradually distorted, and slowly, humans ceased to be human. Humans turned into monsters..."
