"Valravn agrees that instincts are a good reason as any for monster to infect and pass their powers to people. He questions why they have such instincts though. He suggests that a certain two parasites desire the connection that comes with that power, specifically the link during ascension. A link inside of superhumans that connects to something else, something beyond this realm. The MC responds that he felt it and wonder about what it was. With Valravn telling him that he doesn't know but that once his lord's work was complete, all such bonds would be sundered."
Wow, I had never paid attention to that. So when a connection forms between an apostle and a superhuman, it actually benefits those two parasites, that bond that's created. And the Seventh wants to break it...
By the way, speaking of the Seventh, what are your theories about him?
What I know so far is that in the memory path involving him, The MC notes that its voice is distinctly masculine ,unlike the other apostles. And he also said something like: “My… Death… Kill… Free… We will be free.”
But who exactly are “we”? And free from what?
Well, the idea of the Seventh being God’s void doesn’t suggest darkness as something inherently evil, but rather as an absence, a perpetual hunger, something that longs to be filled. That interpretation makes a lot of sense to me.
