The ritual of proclamation, the Sacred Mark.
Calamity, writing a chapter of Death.
These were mystical terms related to rituals, learned while studying within the Forbidden Bloodline.
Bucky knew clearly that one needed to set up a ritual according to the environment and weather, then perform a profound sacrifice.
And enough Transcendents had to be drawn in.
Only then… could one begin to carve their own Sacred Mark.
If that cunning Evil Spirit's sacrifice went unnoticed, the resulting Sacred Mark would be faint and ephemeral.
It would soon be washed away by time, ground to dust by the gears of fate, and vanish without a trace.
But when enough Transcendents were drawn in, even to the point of triggering investigations from many people…
The convergence of numerous Extraordinary Powers was like a grand ceremony, a cruel vortex.
Then that wisp of a Sacred Mark would be continuously strengthened.
