CHATBOT: Celestial Chronicles: Monsters Beyond Gods "Illuminate ignis" There was plenty of conflict when the old world started turning into history, as if the world itself couldn't bear the weight of the metaphysical tapestry that humans weaved in their wake. There was always this tendency, this incessant cycle of progress and burning the wharves to crystallize the monument that was humanity.
