>An Empyrean must divest themselves of their humanity and physicality to ascend to godhood>Miquella purged himself of St. Trina to do so>Marika purged herself of Radagon to do so (seen in the Shadow of the Erdtree story trailer)>Marika forcibly reunited with Radagon ("thou art to become me", "let us be shattered mine other half") and shattered the Elden Ring to make herself mortal >The plot of Elden Ring is essentially Marika's suicide attempt after regretting ascending to godhood to avenge the genocide of her peopleThere, I solved the plot for you. I don't want to hear any of you fucks complaining about muh cryptic nonsensical lore. It's that simple.
So Marika renounces her divinity and then what? What was her plan? Just die and olly outy of everything and let someone else pick up the pieces?
>>681485469People committing suicide don't often plan ahead for what comes after. Marika is not an omniscient wise deity playing 4D chess: she's just a scared little girl who had divinity she couldn't handle thrust upon her. Of course she an hero'd without giving a shit about the consequences.
