Theory: The MC’s Hidden Lineage – 1% from the Apostle of Darkness?
We know the protagonist’s lineage is split: 49% and 50%. But what about that remaining 1%? What if it comes from the Apostle of Darkness? Several clues seem to support this idea:
1. The false evolution during the fight with Cole
If we choose the false evolution option, a dark creature appears. This could be a manifestation of that hidden lineage connected to the Apostle of Darkness.
2. The Apostle’s alternate path when not connected
If we don’t follow the Apostle’s path, the ending plays out differently. He takes us back, as if there’s a unique bond with the MC. That could be a reference to the MC having a different destiny due to that 1% lineage.
3. Syla and Valravn’s strong relationship
Valravn follows his Apostle with unwavering loyalty. If Syla had that 1% of the Apostle of Darkness’s lineage, it wouldn’t be strange for Valravn to have a good relationship with her.
4. Valravn’s words during the dream world battle
When Valravn fights the MC in the dream world, he says something like: “Your abilities will serve my Apostle well” (I don’t remember the exact line, but that was the general idea).
