Forbidden Magic III: The Answer to All
For a moment, Potato King was speechless. His throat felt tight and his heart sank as his eyes tried to make sense of the words on the Answer to All.
The truth has now become clear. He had messed up the ritual. It split him into seven different parts, each a different aspect of himself and sealed them into their own frozen time. He had been erased from the timeline in which his crew existed, and the only one who had been trapped in this current time was the lone spear-holding potato, who had been standing guard outside his cabin when the explosion occurred.
While it rendered him immortal technically, he was an incomplete entity. Yet, despite all this, he felt oddly cheerful and optimistic - no matter; he would have time to find the other six pieces and reunite them. After all, he still had his trusty ship, and finding a crew would be fun - meeting new friends would be a wonderful thing.
Congratulations! Your help has revealed the truth to Potato King, who is now determined to seek out the other six pieces of himself. You had also gone on a great journey, ending it off with a real bang!
