章節 57: Chapter 57: Mind's Eye 3

Desmond continued, "It's not something that the Archons wished to do. It's just the way things are. Think about it—hasn't Lucas always been charming and confident? Hell, I bet even you have noticed that he's greedy. That was the dormant bloodline passively influencing him.

"Now imagine what would have happened during his awakening. His body was reforged in the Star Forging Fire. His bloodline completely awakened, and the influence it had on him increased multiple times.

"For Archine descendants like him, the nature-versus-nurture argument holds no ground. Nature always wins in their case. That's why the Archons created the Rites of Passage: to mitigate the negative effects of their bloodline in their descendants.

"In this case, Lucas had to take a human life with his own hands. It's something he must do unless you want him to lose his personality and become an empty shell."
