collectively chose but one what has
changed the answer is simple the nine
deities no longer trust anyone you wish
to unravel the seal yourselves thus
possession becomes the optimal choice I
never envisioned the land of sealing to
be such a simplistic game simple enough
to allow players to easily Ascend to
divinity there is no conspiracy involved
is there not even a ghost would believe
that icho proclaimed as he stood up
abruptly extending his hand to grasp his
chest a surge of Golden Light emanating
forth to heal his wound a dear friend of
mine was once possessed by another
narrowly escaping death this incident
served as a profound Awakening for me as
icho spoke he turned his gaze towards
Jang Chun who remained silent thus If It
ultimately comes down to me being the
sole survivor I would find find myself
in a rather precarious predicament
should I drink from the spring of the
Ascension well or should I refrain if I
choose not to drink I may never validate
my suspicions yet if I do partake and
something goes Ary what then at that
moment an individual appeared a person
who feigned friendship while harboring
malicious intent could this not be the
most fitting candidate yet to be honest
even until the very last moment I clung
to a shred of Hope for him even if he
had chosen to halt his actions at the
final juncture I would have resolutely
shared my doubts and conjectures with
him alas he did not frankly icho felt a
deep sense of disappointment in his
struggle against the Creator God and in
preparation for the impending Calamity
he had made countless arrangements and
sought numerous allies if his heart
lacked sufficient resolve if his
thoughts were not meticulous enough if
he failed to think far enough ahead if
he could not see clearly enough then
what means did he possess to gamble for
a glimmer of survival would you say this
amounts to ichio indirectly committing
murder indeed he could not ascertain
whether the faceless brother would meet
his demise in such a manner especially
with Jang Chin's example to consider yet
ichio had ceased to care from the moment
he chose to confront the Creator God he
had already lost his sanity were it not
for this he would have never possessed
the qualifications to contend with the
Creator God to this day everything
unfolded as he had anticipated Michaela
had already possessed The Faceless
brother he may very well be dead but
such matters had become inconsequential
a being capable of betraying him in the
game could just as easily betray him in
reality there was no need to save him
for he had already outlived his
usefulness Michaela regarded yio with
calmness stating laric and Truth your
choice was misguided the more
intelligent one is the less conducive
they become to control your downfall
lies therein Lark impotent Roar faded
into Silence with ino's presence
Michaela smiled and d. o you have
already departed then it is time to
clear the scene just then a figure
suddenly burst into the Hall blocking
yunk path IO was somewhat taken aback by
the arrival oxia you have not yet left
oxia cast a glance at iio if I were to
depart what would you do after all I
brought you here did you forsee this
outcome icho inquired tentatively oxia
replied calmly indeed I have long known
what the nine gods represent and that
you are merely their chosen puppets did
you deceive me do you not Harbor any
resentment icho lowered his head with a
smile who would quarrel with an NPC
after all she is a deity do you have
confidence in defeating her oxia turned
her gaze toward Michaela whether I
possess confidence will be determined
only after the battle if Victorious I
shall reveal a secret and the truth of
why I brought you here if defeated then
regrettably the truth can only be
disclosed after the world resets the
world reset why icho looked at oxia what
