William smiled bitterly as he reminisced.
Due to the incomplete ritual a thousand years ago, the Father of the Crows in the Moon Realm didn't have the full stature of a Void Sovereign.
It didn't have the support of 'fuel,' nor did it have a complete soul as a prototype for its personality, nor did it complete the final reversal. All these years, the Father of the Crows had only instinctively exercised its authority or done some specific actions through the remnants of Blake's will—for example, swearing a silent oath or raising a storm in the Shattered Sea to protect Ava State.
Fortunately, the fuel for the ritual wasn't ignited, and the Seed of Hope was preserved. William happened to snatch it from the three goddesses.
Therefore, even though William only had a soul fragment left, he still held the initiative.
