Benjamin continued, "Your daughter was the one who reversed the Descent of the Alternate World."
"Daughter?" Adam frowned. He'd never had a daughter.
Instead of explaining, Benjamin walked up to Thalia and reached out. Without hesitation, he began sending specks of golden light flowing into her body.
Though the National Grand Array and breaking through the restriction had drained most of his strength, he wasn't bothered. He was determined to awaken Thalia even if it meant exhausting the final dregs of his golden light.

Clinging to that hope, Benjamin didn't hold back in pouring his remaining strength into Thalia.
That was the scene Louise and Hector walked in on—Benjamin attempting to awaken her by risking everything.
Though Thalia's divine soul was damaged, it could recover, and she'd eventually wake up with time. There was no need for Benjamin to risk emptying his strength just to rouse her now.

When he stared at Hector, there was an intense obsession that Hector had never seen.
"I need to wake her up now," Benjamin declared.
