章 1703: A Talk Between Ancient Titan Siblings

-----

When I saw Soul Gear, I thought of it as an incredible creation, something convenient that could reinforce someone's soul to completely new levels. However, I never thought deeply about its history, and what it truly meant for the Titans. As Skadi spoke, I finally learned that it was a gift from their father Ymir, the Primordial Titan.

"The Soul Gear is the Legacy of our family, our father was its creator, Lord Ymir tore apart the skin and scales of Nidhogg and Jormungandr and created armor for his children's souls. Nobody else has been able to do the same ever since! It was his way to strengthen our weak souls compared to our strong bodies. With Soul Gear, we Titans become complete!"

"I understand that very well, Skadi," Surtr said. "And I know how much you loved father amongst all of his children. To you, the Soul Gear is not just equipment for our souls, but it is also a gift from Ymir, isn't it? A last gift that he left for all of us."
