Heart of Atlantis

"They called the Heart a myth. A legend. Complete fiction! But the Heart...The Heart of Atlantis is right here before me."

- Jiro Kamiko

The Atorantisu no Kokoro (アトランティスの心, lit. Heart of Atlantis), alternatively referred to as the Second Heart, the Heart of Empire, and the Heart of World, was the first of the three Hearts, Deity artifacts originally created by the Outsider. Designed for his fellow Deity Kami-sama, the Heart had the ability to constantly generate any form of energy and grant protection to those under the owner's jurisdiction. It was an extremely powerful object of antiquity, only sought by those who knew of the Heart's true potential. At some point in time, the Outsider visited Kami-sama to reclaim the but during their struggle, it was cast into an inter-dimensional portal, where it would later be buried in the Eastern Hemisphere of the.

By sheer coincidence, the Second Heart was later discovered by the First Quincy Council of the expanding Quincy Empire. Amazed at the exuberance and power the Heart seemingly radiated upon its discovery, the Council decided to take the object under the jursidction, later claiming it to be their own creation.

Origins
Long ago, the Deity known as The Outsider created the trio of Hearts for three other Deities. In this case, The Outsider specifically created the for a young Kami-sama, as a gift and means to allow her to constantly generate any form of energy for sustenance and personal use. Overtime, Kami-sama grew to a point

But when Kami-sama gained enough strength to rely on herselfBut once Kami-sama gained enough strength to not overly rely on the Heart, she decided to instead use the Heart as a means to release herself and sever her connection from the Deity Collective.

Abilities
"The Heart...is an object of divine power. To ever think to destroy it, is such a fool's folly. A waste of its true potential! With it...we can be Gods ourselves."

- Elder Jiro Kamiko

Designed by The Outsider, the Second Heart's original purpose was to provide protection and spur the growth of a formerly young and weak Kami-sama, as Kami-sama was apparently born with vastly reduced powers when compared to her other compatriots.
