What Do the Five Elders Think of Imu-sama’s Purge of Saint Saturn? | The Fear of Being Next

The Fear of Being Next

Perhaps others like Saint Saturn have been purged before, but if Imu-sama has been as lenient as it appears, tolerating any negligence or failure until now, the remaining four must feel a tremendous sense of fear after learning of Saint Saturn’s fate.

The way Saint Saturn was dealt with seems to expose a common vulnerability among the Five Elders.

Just as Imu-sama has granted them extraordinary regenerative abilities, they likely possess a form of pseudo-immortality granted by Imu-sama…

It’s probable that the Elders know this can be easily taken away at Imu-sama’s will, as seen in Saint Saturn’s final reaction.

Additionally, the former “Scientific Defense War God” Jaygarcia Saturn might be completely erased as if he “never existed” in the first place.

The newly appointed Scientific Defense War God, Figarland Garling, might be treated as though he had always been one of the Five Elders, without any explanation to the world.

If that happens, the other four will be even more terrified…

The thought of not just disappearing from this world but being erased as though they never existed is extremely frightening and sad…

It is currently unknown if Garling has been granted the same pseudo-immortality as Saint Saturn and the others, but if they anger Imu-sama, it could be stripped away, leaving them as nothing more than bones. The fear of this fate will loom over them as they govern…

Losing their composure, the Five Elders will likely become more desperate when dealing with future issues…

Although they have always appeared to act with such determination, Saint Saturn’s final plea for his life revealed their attachment to living…

Their desperation could be a terrifying thing…
