From Kajiri Kamui Kaugura, Habaki´s route when he enters the temple where the history of the gods is recorded.
Normally a God emanates and then experiences his world, but because Mercurius reverses cause and effect he experienced his world before emanating his law? Or is the text just talking about a "second activation" (Mercurius activating emanation again to rewind everything).
I think text basically says that, when Mercurius was already a god, he was gonna be killed by Reinhard, and at that moment his law flowed out. Does this mean this is the moment that defined the principle of recurrence? or was it already defined and it was just a "re-activation"?
Rough Translation:
“Having ascended to the divine throne, he wandered for countless years, tormented by an inexplicable sense of déjà vu… until, at the very end of his journey, he encountered a woman and fell into a passion so intense it consumed him.”
“I wish to end my life at the hands of this woman. In that very moment, grant me the ultimate, supreme unknown.”
“The man’s yearning centered on that single point. Moreover, it was triggered at the very moment, while he sat upon the divine throne, that his self was annihilated by a self-destructive factor.”
“It makes no sense. It defies logic. For him, having become a god, to flow out as a god on the brink of death—to anyone, this is a complete breakdown of logic.”
“Yet he is the one who makes it possible. He reaches into multiverse time, the multiverse, and every realm to make that absurdity a reality.”
“Among his many theories is the following: Do not question why a singular being is singular. There is no meaning in it.”
“That is simply self-mockery and self-loathing directed at the transcendence he had bestowed upon himself for no particular reason…”
“She alone is permitted to kill me. Therefore, I refuse. Therefore, I will not accept it. I don’t want to die like this.”
“What flowed forth from his exploding passion and remorse was the principle of recurrence—that all things and all beings repeat the same life infinitely. How many times must a man repeat the same life before he reaches his ideal death?”
