The matter of human SOULs remains… unsettling.

According to archived texts recovered, the composition of a human differs greatly from our own. Where our kind is held together primarily by magic, humans possess a physical form… yet their SOULs are paradoxically far stronger than ours.

Records from the era of the Human-Monster War describe a disturbing constant: when a human falls, their SOUL does not shatter. It persists. Intact. Observable. Contained.

Even now, I struggle to understand how something so small can hold such resilience.

If true, this would imply that a human SOUL is not merely a source of power, but a vector of intent imposed upon reality.

[Further notes:]

The requirement of seven human SOULs is not arbitrary.

Fragments recovered from old inscriptions suggest a clear principle: Barrier was erected through the combined power of human SOULs, and thus demands the same structure to be undone.

A single human SOUL far surpasses that of a monster. However, it is still insufficient to disrupt a system formed by multiple human sources acting in unison.

Calculations indicate that seven provide a complete set — not merely in quantity, but in stability. Attempts to theorize partial disruption (one to six SOULs) consistently result in failure, collapse, or uncontrolled energy dispersal.

There is also evidence to suggest that when gathered, human SOULs do not simply combine — they resonate.

This resonance produces something greater than the sum of its parts. A unified output. A singular force.

It is possible that what breaks the barrier is not raw power… but synchronization.

Further experimentation is impossible at this time.

Or perhaps—

No. That line of thought is not productive.
