(Even though Honcho's face is a black square, but it feels like that his physiognomy would express something between anxiety and grief.)
How much grief happened because of this flower...
Usually Viridis was not interested in people, but during the difficult years of colonizing the new land, he took pity on people and created this flower.
The World Lotus emitted a huge amount of energy and could cure all illnesses and injuries of anyone who came to it.
But unfortunately, not all people were so kind and innocent.
The Deckard family's greed led them to exploit the lotus, draining its energy and cutting off pieces of its stems for study and sale.
Then the lotus began to defend itself by growing thorns and creating monsters from the nearby vegetation... but fire and axes were stronger.
Viridis was horrified and deeply disappointed by the rich people's behavior. He then asked one of his brothers, Shinel, to hold a great court and punish the family.
(Honcho pauses, as if trying to gather the courage to speak..)
The only problem was that by that time the Shinel had begun to go insane... centuries ago, Nathan had persuaded him not to judge people and not to help them directly because... Nathan himself was deeply disappointed in them.
The Great Court was held, but not as it should have been.
To help himself, Shinel took one of the sons of Viridis, Vronius (aka Surge)...
And when those who had sinned were gathered, Shinel began to shed rivers of blood, using Vronius as the instrument for all this.
Workers, miners who accidentally fell under this squall and the awakening of the superorganism, Deckards, and people who was simply walking in the forest...
Everyone in that place was destroyed.
Only Shinel's son, Philarnett, was able to stop this nightmare.
And then-... ahem... sorry, I got a little carried away with the story, I think you got the main idea of ââwhat the World Lotus is.
â..dear god thatâs..a lot.â
âThis..family was quite the bunch of people,how much things go wrong just from humanityâs own free will,I do wonder why they were created like that sometimes.â
âThe lotus here was created simply because..as always..they got carried away and it,in simple terms,had a mind of its own.its already spread its way through her levels,Iâm trying my best to keep it contained,as well as the groundskeeper,but with so much unorganized ground it gets tiring.â
*Though thereâs thisâŠstrange..gap in my memory..thereâs something missing I just canât-remember-*
