The meeting ended.
Quite a few people left immediately.
Director Charles didnât intend to stay longer, gently patted Han Dongâs shoulder, and promptly returned to the Control Bureau.
Han Dong also kept the letter in the safest part of his mental world, following Mister Mâs side.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have something to say, Han Dong honestly sat back in the sub-seat.
A hand wearing white gloves suddenly landed on Han Dongâs shoulder, squeezing forcefully... a seemingly intimate gesture, but in actuality, it was the modeling liquid being injected into Han Dongâs body to repair the physical injuries caused by the recent consciousness descent.
"You... seem to have witnessed such grand spectacles at S-01 long ago; I was worried you might be so nervous facing so many letter holders at the meeting that youâd forget what to say.
Your relationship with the Thousand-Faced Demon King seems pretty good, directly using consciousness descent."
However, I myself have never participated in the past world invasion of S-01, only hearing about this special Old King from others."
Han Dong was also curious about how the Black Tower referred to the Voyager, "Thousand-Faced Demon King? What happened back then?"
Mr. M briefly narrated the situation he was aware of, where Voyager would variously disguise and infiltrate the team, communicate with Supreme Will members, but never take action.
Han Dong was puzzled, "Hmm? Just disguise and infiltration, having chances but not acting?"
"Yes, even we find this difficult to understand.
According to those guys, this Old King had many perfect opportunities to launch a surprise attack, effectively hindering the invasion... even causing us reductions in numbers prematurely but never made a surprise attack."
Han Dong frowned, "Could it be that Voyager elder..."
Mr. M was also quite curious about this matter, "Do you have any guesses?"
Han Dong rubbed his chin, showing a thoughtful look, instead of making a direct speculation, he first asked Mr. M:
"From what I know, the catalyst of the S-01 [World Invasion] should have been that completely fallen, twisted, arrogant human group at the time, right?"
This question was something Han Dong always wanted to know.
Exactly how bad were humans back then, what did they do, which led the Black Tower and S-01 to clash.
"That is true, at that time, humans living in [S-01] were in a state of extreme arrogance and corruption, completely losing the most fundamental humanity.
This group of humans committed a bold âsuicidal actâ.
They rallied everyone to pass through the âDoor of Fateâ in a short time,
Most were involved in different fate events across various worlds,
A few individuals who obtained qualifications from the Black Tower directly headed to important areas of the Black Tower... while simultaneously initiating a large-scale fate rebellion, releasing some demon pollution sources brought from S-01 in critical areas of the Black Tower."
This incident resulted in massive pollution of many employees and fate participants in the lower levels of the Black Tower, with many critical facilities suffering irreversible damage.
There were even management deaths.
And simultaneously, 871 worlds of different levels were severely polluted, rules collapsed! In the history of Black Tower development, the impact of this fate rebellion ranks among the top three.
This behavior angered the âSupreme Willâ.
Including Miss Bei, a special team composed of nine Supreme Will members was formed to invade the world of S-01... Of course, the main goal was to root out the fallen humans."
This series of shocks made Han Dong quite upset,
"It really was a suicidal act... I didnât expect humans in ancient times to degrade to this extent.
Given this, the âbehaviorâ of the Voyager elder can be explained."
"How so?"
"He likely intended to borrow your âhandsâ to root humanity out... those humans to him were just a heap of failures.
Lord Mento, you should know that S-01 itself isnât native to humans, humans rooted and developed strongly in S-01 all because of the Voyager."
These words made Mentoâs eyes light up with milk-white dots, "Interesting, if the opportunity arises, Iâd like to meet the Voyager in person."
"If cooperation between Black Tower and S-01 is established, youâre welcome to come by anytime... then Iâll be sure to act as a guide throughout, and if the Voyager elder has time, I can act as a middleman for you to meet."
"Okay."
Han Dong suddenly remembered something, "Oh, Lord Mento, could you do me a small favor... can you remove the restrictions binding the Clockmaker in the Holy City of S-01?"
"Clockmaker? I seem to recall, perhaps the person responsible for managing the âDoor of Fateâ in the Holy City,"
Mento didnât ask much more, as this small matter was easy to handle, especially now that itâs necessary to establish contact with S-01, the collection of intelligence on human cities is no longer needed.
A letter stamped with [M] was handed to Han Dong.
"Give her this letter! Just by presenting the contents of the letter to any Black Tower office, her binding restrictions will be lifted, and âself-awarenessâ will be completed.
However, she should also be an individual affected by pollution, and will undergo a simple check at that time."
"Okay, thank you, elder."
"Thatâs about it.
Your unique candidate privileges can be viewed via the employee card, and as for when you will replace my [letter], letâs wait until you become a King."
The person from the Holy City opposite you has been watching you; do you want to have a private chat?"
As Mento mentioned this, Han Dong noticed Captain Olivia, who had been silently waiting in a nearby seat.
"Speaking at the top of the tower doesnât seem quite appropriate, letâs go down and catch up~ How should we get down, same as before, using the stairs?"
"Thereâs no restriction on leaving the tower top; you can directly teleport to the lower or middle levels... you go ahead, Iâve got some things to handle."
"Okay!"
After seeing Mento off, Han Dong quickly approached the blonde woman radiating warm Holy Light.
"Captain Olivia, congratulations on stepping into the domain of Kings... Weâll discuss the details after weâre down."
"Sounds good, staying here always feels uncomfortable."
Buzz!
They both simultaneously teleport to the plaza at the bottom level.
Some friendly exchanges are inevitable.
Olivia, having no barriers with Han Dong at this point, chuckled to herself as they spoke about recent experiences.
Although Han Dongâs appearance as the unique candidate at the meeting seemed quite sensational, Olivia, who experienced the âLondon Game,â wasnât surprised.
Before they knew it, talking and laughing led them to the entrance of the fight club.
Their conversation covered Han Dongâs special performance at the meeting, especially regarding the consciousness descent.
At that moment, a strange sense of danger swept over.
Olivia immediately unfolded the Holy Light Domain, simultaneously releasing three peculiar light orbs around herself.
However.
Swirling violet mist enveloped the pair, with a goat-hoofed girl stepping forward, her eyes could barely conceal hostility towards Olivia.
Yet,
What the girl expressed more was puzzlement towards Han Dong.
Sally had already scented Han Dong a few minutes earlier,
Just as she was about to run out to greet him, she discovered a beautiful blonde woman chatting and laughing with Han Dong, seeming quite close... she also eavesdropped on some of their conversations.
Finding one of the topics puzzling.
She first held onto Han Dongâs arm, pulling him aside.
Whispering in his ear:
âNicholas, I overheard you talking about something regarding the gray walker descending to your presence to participate in the highest meeting... [Borrowing God] only borrows into incarnations, right? And more as a divine pattern mimicry,
Shouldnât it be impossible for Lord Voyager to directly descend?â
As Sally raised this question.
Han Dong suddenly turned his head, his face almost touching Sallyâs.
A subtle eerie smile arose on his face, finger placed against his lips... shh!
