[We're sorry, Atlas. We just want you to be prepared and learn,] read the message from Gaia.
When Atlas saw this message, it was clear that he was visibly upset. No one expected him to react this way.
"If you want me to learn, please speak. If Lady Artemis hadn't been there, Azazel could have escaped. If that had happened, I might have died before Lady Juliet returned... I owe my life to Lady Artemis," Atlas said suddenly.
Upon hearing this, everyone watching him from the sacred land fell silent.
"By the way, if you find Master Epiales, do not harm him… I think he may have helped us in a way we never even considered," Atlas said suddenly.
These words made no sense to anyone. Epiales had already been found and forced to kneel before Nyx and the others.
Still, the precious Oneiroi remained silent. It was as if Epiales knew that even if he spoke, no one would believe him. So he chose to accept the blame and the punishment that would be given to him.
