Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Dalios' earlier debunking of the Master's divine claims plants the seed of skepticism that ultimately destroys the Master's credibility. The exposure of Dalios' death as a lie (made possible by Dalios' earlier resistance) triggers Galleia's betrayal and the activation of Kronos, directly continuing the ideological battle over truth and divinity.
