"They are beings like Ehyrian, Cosmic Superior beings who have glimpsed the memories of the deities," The monoliths' voices grew heavier, vibrating the air around Gustav. "When they reached their level of power, they saw the devastation and tyranny wrought by the deities, and they vowed that no being would ever reach that level of strength again."

Gustav's brows furrowed. "So they want to stop me because they're afraid I'll turn out like the deities? While knowing I put an end to them in the past? That's ridiculous. I'm nothing like them."

"They do not care for your intent," the monoliths replied. "They fear the power itself. And they have worked in secret to weaken you in this life, to strip you of even the fragments of your Outworldly strength."
