Honestly, I don't like this development. Not because I want Lith to be special, but because I don't see any logic in this narrative. Mogar said that she was fair, that's why she gave Dereck, someone who never lived in Mogar, a chance. But aparently she just changed the lineage of an entire family without asking for their permission. So how is this considered fair? I've always thought that what she meant was that she directed Dereck's soul to Lith's dead body, a member of a family that carried a recessive lost mutation. And that Dereck's abomination side was the one responsible for regaining that bloodline, just like Xenagross regained her dragon side after becoming an abomination. It's an explanation that makes sense and there's already a precedent. This, for me, is a plothole that lowers the novel's score (just like a few recent developments). But whatever.
I think I hate this 'Morgar has been planning this for a long time' narrative the most, because it means that the planet is playing puppet master. If you have the planet, the closest concept to God in the novel, manipulating people, what can you even do? Lith was an abomination, Mogar gave him the chance to become something different, but he could still become an Eldritch. In his family's case, they were normal humans but Mogar decided to play mad scientist and now they are something else. If the planet turned you into a lion, would you call that "fair"? So the father of all demons means: I modified all these humans because of you, and that is why you have this title. If Meln doesn't become a demon, it would be even stranger. Lith healing Tista shouldn't be enough for him to turn her into a demon. And then you would have to accept the possibility that Lith could turn everyone in the friend group into a demon. I mentioned plothole because it goes against everything that has been said about Mogar so far. So unless the plot twist is Mogar a manipulator, I see no sense in the narrative. And if that is the case, then I don't like the narrative xD
DarkProphet:I don't see there being a plot hole as such. It's I use many of us had assumptions that were c.early wrong. We know Mogar is fair and did something to cross bloodlines to create a vessel for Lith. What's not clear is how long she's been planning this and exactly what role the pillar plays. Does awakening and reaching blue core constitute the only part required or does the pillar do more than just nurture? We will only know for sure if Orpal/Melbourne evolves. Also if he doesn't get the pillar and gets a week or unstable evolution we then know the pillar is more than just energy to nurture.
to be honest. i think the eyes were the intentions of mogar. a father of demons is of course going to look much different and be more than the ones below him. its likely Mogar wanted you to have the eyes as you are the personification of destruction. destruction being all walks of life, elements and matter alike.
