[Castor values his sister Pollux extremely]
[He was originally a twin god, one with Pollux]
[When they were still gods, they knew exactly what the other was thinking]
[For them, it was as simple as lifting a hand]
[However, everything changed because of humans]
[The fallen Castor no longer shared a spiritual connection with his sister, and even their existence had become small and light]
[Not only that, but their spiritual connection]
[This had also greatly regressed]
[In fact, Castor was completely unaware of what his sister Pollux was thinking now]
"Love potion... Castor, you really can imagine."
"If not, then what else could it be?
Not only did it make Pollux show such a sad expression, but it also made her act so unusually; could it be... do you have thoughts about my sister?"
Pollux's gaze became quite sharp.
He looked like an overly protective father, guarding against everyone.
Originally, Moran didn't have such thoughts.
But after Castor mentioned it, he actually wanted to see such a scene.
If Pollux were to fall in love with another man in the future, wouldn't Castor be rolling on the ground in stomach pain?
That scene, thinking about it, is indeed quite interesting.
"Brother! Seriously! Enough is enough!
I was just talking to Moran about our past, and you completely didn't listen to what I said just now, did you?!"
Pollux finally couldn't hold back her outburst.
With her hands on her hips, leaning forward like a mother hen, the originally imposing Castor's momentum deflated.
It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.
"Moran is our former sibling. I was talking to him about our past... I wasn't sad about something else just now; I was sad about you, dear brother."
Pollux pursed her lips, speaking sorrowfully.
She didn't want to hit Castor's sore spot again, but in this anxious situation, she could only say it.
"...former... sibling."
Castor was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses.
Having become human, he lacked Pollux's perceptiveness, and his memories of the Earth Children were quite vague.
However, with Pollux mentioning it, he still recalled memories of being a deity.
Considering the natural phenomena triggered during Moran's battle earlier, this was indeed proof of the Earth Children.
After all, it was his strong protective instinct.
He hadn't even listened to his sister's words.
Now, seeing Pollux's even sadder expression, Castor finally realized how big of a mistake he had made.
"...I'm sorry... Moran... I lost my composure... Please forgive this immature brother's shortcomings..."
Castor said after a moment of silence.
His words carried sincere and heartfelt regret, feeling ashamed for making his sister so sad.
His fists involuntarily clenched again.
Having devolved into a human, he had become so pathetic.
Castor's heart echoed with a mocking voice that seemed to want to cry out, with emotions like humiliation, self-blame, and shame taking root within.
[The reason he values Pollux so much]
[The fundamental reason is the fear of losing his only family]
[Since his birth, he has existed as a deity, and he has a precious family member who shares a spiritual connection with him]
[Yet, for no reason, that connection was severed]
[Not only in terms of power and lifespan, but even the very way of existence has devolved, and their minds can no longer communicate with each other]
[Every time he sees his sister Pollux]
[His heart cannot help but surge with anger; this hatred is not directed at his sister, but at the corrupted self]
[It's as if everything except for their appearances has become unrecognizable]
[This is a terrifying thing for Castor]
[He understands that it is humanity that has caused him to become , but he cannot change it. Thus, he is entangled in hatred]
"Castor, this attitude of yours will be very disadvantageous.
I can understand your hatred and your anger. If you continue , you will only bring trouble to Pollux. By then, the distance between you siblings will only grow further apart."
"I understand, I know... But as long as humanity still exists, or as long as I remain trapped in this pain of degradation.
Then, this hatred will not end."
Castor has a clear understanding of himself.
There has never been any baseless hatred.
He feels as if he has fallen into an abyss from which he cannot escape, and Pollux is saddened for such a Castor.
No one can solve it, and he cannot save himself.
Pollux thought again in her heart.
She knew that Castor mainly lacked a sense of security, fearing that the distance between them would grow further.
Persephone had been watching from the side.
She could feel the sibling bond between the twins, yet she could also sense a layer of separation between them.
A layer of invisible and sad separation.
Thinking about it, this was what Moran had told her about the Gemini, and her mood was also affected by that sense of loss.
As if wanting to break this atmosphere.
Or perhaps, not wanting the friends and siblings sharing this boat to be trapped in this painful cycle again—
"Perhaps, I have a way to solve the problem that has troubled you siblings all along," Moran said.
"Solve? Hahaha, Moran, thinking like that really makes me happy... Um, seriously, I don't mean to mock you.
It's just that in terms of methods, I've always known one way—let all humans die."
"Brother, watch your words."
Pollux showed an expression of speechlessness.
Long-term hatred had deeply rooted Castor's irritable personality, and changing it would be very difficult.
Even expressing goodwill sounded prickly.
This point is evident from the fact that after he became a Heroic Spirit, his manifested class was that of an Avenger.
[After Castor recognized your identity as an Earth Child and understood the reasons behind these matters]
[There is no longer a need for hatred and hostility to exist]
[The object of his hatred is only humanity]
[You are not the target of his vented anger]
[On the contrary, like Pollux, he feels a sense of closeness to you, as if meeting a fellow townsman]
"Ahem, sorry... I just wanted to say that Pollux and I have not found a feasible method for a long time. And what I just mentioned is the most feasible. Unfortunately, Pollux won't allow me to do that."
Castor's tone was filled with regret.
If it weren't for Pollux constantly restraining him, he would have probably become a disaster for humanity long ago.
This point is beyond doubt.
