Chapter 1070 - 1070 169 Speculation and Change

Chapter 1070: Chapter 169 Speculation and Change Chapter 1070: Chapter 169 Speculation and Change Han Dong and his two companions were assigned to the southern outer street, responsible for the defense work of that area.

As of now, foreign demons have not yet attacked.

And Han Dong’s status as an official instructor, which he thought would be greatly useful, was rendered ineffective due to the lockdown order issued by Father Lysos, preventing smooth entry into Church Headquarters.

The current situation required Han Dong to make a decision.

“Sally, could you come over alone for a moment?”

Following Han Dong’s call, Sally was invited into an empty building by the side of the street.

Camper stayed outside, just in case something unusual happened while the two were in conversation.

Due to Han Dong’s commendable performance previously, coupled with the pressing situation, Camper was well aware that Han Dong wanted to discuss some ‘official business’ with Sally, so he didn’t pry further.

Inside the single bedroom of a certain house in the empty building.

Goat’s Hoof pressed against Han Dong’s side with her long legs, her strong arms forcibly cornering Han Dong against the wall.

“One of your ‘advantages’ is already gone… and now you’re calling me out alone at this critical moment. What is it?”

“Miss Sally, don’t be so aggressive, I just want to confirm a few things.

Since I wasn’t able to smoothly enter the Church headquarters, I’m considering whether to change sides.”

“Confirm what?”

“You previously mentioned that the madman from last night had the strength to fight against Mythic Bodies even beyond his grade. Can he really do that?”

“That madman is indeed a match for a typical Mythic Body; his character has even confronted a Mythic Body head-on before… not to mention that he’s now accompanied by a ‘Hunting Dog.’

Compared to the Element Game of years ago, his strength has definitely grown.

This madman’s boundary is infinitely close to becoming a myth, and he has even found the corresponding path of a myth.

His participation in the London game this time, as he said, is not out of interest in the Unknown Divinity, but simply to clear out the rebels… simply to enjoy the process of the game.”

Han Dong nodded and continued, “Such ‘celebrities’ like him, as well as you Miss Sally, along with Hop and Eugenes, must have a high profile in the [Demon Circle], right?

Since that madman can match a Mythic Body, you shouldn’t be too far behind.

Father Lysos, who is in charge of the Whirlpool Cult’s internal and external affairs, must also recognize you all.

But, from what the receptionist said earlier,

it seems that the movements and intelligence on the Mad Demon and his control over the ‘Yandaros Hound’ are well within his grasp. He not only doesn’t seem nervous but also appears quite pleased with his and your Element Bodies’ arrival.

I even have the feeling,

that Father Lysos is quite happy to have more Outsiders come here.

Before when we flew over, a large number of Ancestor Bodies invaded the Parallel World, and I suspect that the priest has deliberately relaxed the entry conditions.

Moreover, the receptionist’s final words implied that survival would yield an ‘opportunity’.

Miss Sally, can you guess what that might be?”

“Just spit it out… With the look on your face, you must have a hypothesis.”

“It’s just speculation, but I suspect the priest is using this opportunity to ‘Select People’…”

“Select People?”

“Although we haven’t yet seen the Vortex miracle,

we also roughly know that the miracle corresponds to an ‘Unknown Divinity’ that no one can currently control… I estimate that Father Lysos has let many qualified instructors attempt to touch the miracle, but all have failed, even paying a terrible price.

Since suitable successors are hard to find at home,

the London game is now held under the watch of the Old Kings, involving a large number of ‘Ancestor Bodies’ in the game… The priest can use the confrontation with the Parallel World happening to ‘Select People’.”

Select the individual who best matches the Unknown Divinity.

The imminent attack and defense battle around the Church Headquarters might very well be the first step of “Select People”, and a large number of those with inadequate strength will be filtered out during this process.

Hearing Han Dong’s detailed and reasonable explanation, the others might have agreed with him.

But not Sally.

To climb to her current position, a cautious mind is essential.

“There’s something wrong with your theory.

1. What if the final selection is one of our own?

2. Besides, even if one of their people is selected, what use would it be to Father Lysos? He is already a Mythic Body, so any divinity, no matter how superb, would be irrelevant to him. Knowing that several Old Kings are eyeing London City, why would he dare to commit such an act of rebellion?

You don’t need me to spell out what kind of end that would lead to, do you?”

Han Dong touched the tip of his nose with his fingers. He had also pondered the questions Sally raised and already had answers to them.

“Actually, these two questions can be answered together.

I suspect that Father Lysos, the Fate, and even the participants who caused this London event have reached some deep agreement with the ‘Holy Level World’…

One of the conditions in the agreement should be for him to initiate the descent of a miracle and to let a certain demon inherit it.

The divinity inheritance here naturally doesn’t restrict whether it’s the Dark Denizens or other demons; as long as someone can inherit it, it should be no problem.

Once such an agreement is reached, the ‘Fate System’ might help him sever ties with this world, allowing him to head to the ‘Holy Level World’ with a new identity to get the life he wants.

By then, what could the Old Kings do to him?”

“If I’m guessing correctly, the Whirlpool Cult’s headquarters — Big Ben, that should also be the location of ‘Door of Fate – London’, right?”

“Severing ties with the world, heading to another world?!”

Sally was startled, Han Dong’s words made a lot of sense, and indeed, that way all her concerns would cease to exist.

“From the information I’ve gathered, the ‘Holy Level World’ should be very suitable for someone like Father Lysos… Moreover, I’m sure that they must have offered him very generous terms, a deal he couldn’t refuse.”

“If it really is as you say, this matter will certainly enrage all the Old Kings…”

“So what if it enrages them? The other party clearly wants to stir up trouble. Of course, this is just my speculation… Now that the related speculation has been explained, I’d like to change the plan, and I hope Miss Sally can cooperate with me.”

“What else do you want to do? Break into Church Headquarters?”

“No… I’m not tired of living yet.

Since we can’t infiltrate the headquarters now, and your thorny identities are not given much regard,

you and Camper should return to the Outsiders’ camp.

I’ll continue to stay here.

Since we have roughly guessed the priest’s thoughts and the ‘Select People’ plan, it should, at a certain point in the battle, be forcibly stopped… Being in opposing camps, secretly exchanging information will also help us avoid danger to the greatest extent.

Me killing some unrelated demons as a ‘human’ falls under justifiable defense.

On my part, I just need Miss Sally to provide some information so that I can avoid those few Elementals.”

“Are you sure you want to do this? Sticking with me would be much safer.”

“I’m certain! And this is the only way I can help Miss Sally win the bet.”

At that point,

Sally’s eyes, black as onyx, gazed intently at Han Dong.

For an entire minute, the two of them looked at each other…

“We’ll do as you suggest, just don’t die.”
