1. Embryo
14 linesAfter arriving at Vedfolnir's place.
Hi, everyone. Allow me to treat you with something at this humble house of mine.
It is a humble house indeed. You are still using the old coal stove for heating!
It is what most people would do.
By the way, where is the info you talked about?
Well, maybe we shall get down to business.
Vedfolnir takes out a notebook.
You may have accessed some of the information already.
I open the notebook slowly.
On October 20, the chaotic world was split and God's conception was completed.''
On April 4, thanks to the nourishment of the earth, the cells of God will start to proliferate.''
On July 19, all beings will be elated because of God's uterine contraction.''
On January 17, the baby God will be born.''
October 20 is the day when Rayna went missing...
2. Stage 144-10, after the battle
24 linesWhat is it?
Where did you get this info?
It was from Dyatlov.
That's Sui's stepfather.
Who's Sui?
The explanation is kind of complicated here... Isn't this passage arranged in chronological order?
Why were some of the dates put in front of the others?
They were dates of different years, weren't they?
Yes, Dyatlov speculated that they did not occur in the same year, but gradually occurred in the following years.
On October 20, Rayna was sealed back into Echo Crystal because of Wadjet and Rasparta.
So this is the conception of God, right?
The statement here is unclear, probably because it's based on the info stolen from Rasparta. As it was deciphered by Dyatlov, errors may be inevitable.
This sentence can be understood as the embryo of God having taken shape.
Ahem! You know the process of conception, don't you?
Yes... a girl conceives after kissing a boy?
Not exactly... but not totally wrong either. In short, an embryo is only possible with the combination of a sperm and an egg.
My sister has been living with me. But she can't possibly get pregnant.
Chill, commoners! Vedfolnir means, the Echo Crystal that sealed your sister is a sperm, right?
That's right.
Where is the egg then?
This is a question that has puzzled me for a long time. If we had stopped the combination of the sperm with the egg, the Ancient One's embryo would not have appeared to forebode an imminent disaster.
But after arriving at this place, a guess suddenly crossed my mind, which points to a desperate future.
What's your guess?
My guess is that the planet we are on is an egg.
