The monthly records of IS3 take place in an alternate timeline where the seaborns successfully conquered the world. This record features Thorns, who stayed behind in Iberia to find out what was calling him from the ocean.
Our boi Thorns just soloed infinite swarms of seaborne then injected himself with the dangerous seaborne blood that will turn him into one yet still fought to the end.
So the reason he longed for the ocean at the end of obsidian festival was because there's already seaborne blood inside him? He's been injected with seaborn blood all along? 😭😭😭
He is no where near the strongest physically speaking. He is essentially a scientist who works with dangerous chemicals and is fit and know how to use the destretza fighting style. What makes him able to solo waves of seaborne is his scientific knowledge on toxins combined with his sheer willpower of not giving up.
