Bab 529: Thoth

It wasn't something particularly rare to witness. Athena had explained this phenomenon to Kayden several times before. It was extremely common among mages with weak mental fortitude; when trapped in the same situation for an extended period, most chose the easiest path. This tendency wasn't limited to physical limitations but extended to a lack of spiritual resilience and a shallow understanding of their potential.

For this reason, the ascension process of Julia wasn't entirely surprising to Kayden, although it left him with mixed feelings. He had hoped to learn more from observing her transformation. However, as the process began, much of what unfolded was beyond his grasp. Still, there were moments of clarity. When Julia finally broke through into the divine realm, the shift in her being was undeniable.
