Mystery: From Celestial Venerable's Backup to Red Priest

Chapter 116 The Predestined Ending

Chapter 116 The Predestined Ending

The news brought by Evan greatly interested Mr. A.

"In order to cover up the fact that Triss had officially become a follower of our Lord, Mr. Z had previously instructed Triss in Tingen to tell the Witch Cult everything in Tingen in detail, in addition to converting to our Lord, and to convey our Aurora Society's intention to cooperate with them."

Just two days ago, the Witch Cult officially contacted us using the contact information provided by Tris. I submitted a request for cooperation, which indirectly verified Tris's words. Therefore, the Witch Cult lifted the screening of him, provided him with a magic potion to advance him to the rank of 'witch,' and agreed to strengthen cooperation between the two sides.

Mr. A had a smile on his lips, clearly pleased with himself for helping Triss evade the investigation.

Evan knew that in order to make the Witch Cult truly believe what Triss said, Mr. A must have proposed the cooperation based on his previous suggestion to assassinate Duke Negan.

Evan was very much looking forward to whether the Aurora Society and the Witch Cult could assassinate Duke Negan, who was under the tight protection of the Storm Church, but he wouldn't ask any more questions as long as Mr. A didn't say anything more.

"I just didn't expect that after Triss became a 'witch,' she would be sent to get close to Edsac Augustus. This must be related to the witch cult's schemes, and the schemes behind them must be quite large. This might also be an opportunity for us."

The news brought by Evan was very important, which further increased Triss's importance in Mr. A's heart.

The Aurora Society's biggest scheme is to create chaos on the continent, attract the attention of various forces, and create conditions for the arrival of the true creator. Therefore, he is also very interested in the schemes of the witch cult, which thrives on chaos.

After all, the Augustus family, who uphold and maintain order, are one of the most hated rivals of the Aurora Society, and have the opportunity to A

The gentleman really wanted to mess with them.

Evan was equally interested in this, and his spirits lifted upon hearing Mr. A's words. He then said to him:

"The Witch Cult isn't hiding their schemes from me, and they might even involve me. Do you think I should give them a push?"

Mr. A was very satisfied with Evan's initiative and nodded, saying:

"You can help the witch cult, which will benefit you. You might be accepted by them and increase their trust in you."

I suspect the Witch Cult has grand ambitions; you should be prepared, this might not be a task that can be accomplished in a short time.

"For the Lord's coming, for the Lord's glory, I have no choice but to do it."

Evan made the sign of the cross backwards on his chest, expressing his loyalty with fervor.

After reporting Triss's situation to Mr. A, Evan immediately left and returned to his apartment. He took a quick bite and began writing the diary of Emperor Roselle that he owed Mr. Fool.

This diary entry contains Evan explaining the relationships between the 22 Divine Paths in Roselle's voice. This includes the law that adjacent paths can be interchanged in higher sequences. Evan is gradually revealing the true identity and target of the mastermind behind the scenes to Klein.

After finishing his diary entry to present to the Fool, Evan sat on the sofa to rest for a while, and took the opportunity to review the contents of "Lord of Mysteries" in his mind again. He didn't want to be like last time, unaware of what had happened in Tingen and needing Klein's reminder.

Upon opening the mental copy of "Lord of Mysteries," Evan discovered that the entire first volume was becoming blurry. This startled him, as it meant he had expanded Lanius's deception and dragged the military into the operation.

It certainly had a huge impact on the story of Tingen.

Aside from the fact that Ince Zangwell still received his ashes in the end, everything else has changed dramatically.

This discovery left Evan puzzled. Why was he still destined to receive Saint Selena's ashes when he had already begun to disrupt Ince Zangwell's script and was already overwhelmed with tasks?

After much deliberation, Evan finally focused his attention on Adam.

The blurring of the first Lord of Mysteries film suggests that Ince Zangwell is losing control of Tingen, and the 008 script is in danger of going bankrupt.

This time, Evan didn't bring his perspective to Ince Zangwell, but rather to another angle: the perspective of 008, because 008 is a living sealed object, and one that is highly activated.

When 008 writes a script for the holder, he must first set a goal, and then write the script around that goal.

Its goal this time was very clear: to obtain the ashes of Saint Selena in Tingen for Ince Zangwell.

If Evan and Klein's intrusion causes the script to fail, then 008's suspicions won't be directed at Evan and Klein, because these two minor characters are too far removed from it. Sooner or later, it will suspect Adam, and summoning the angel of fate, Ulrich, or the "true creator" would be disastrous for Adam.

This is exactly what Adam has been trying to avoid, as evidenced by Adam's arrangement for Evan to leave Tingen to prevent Evan from self-destructing.

Adam doesn't care whether Ince Zangwill can become a demigod; he cares whether Ince Zangwill is under his control and whether 008 has realized that it has always been part of Adam's script.

The original text shows that 008 was not helpless against Adam, so Adam had to make 008...

It was unaware that it had been living its own script all along.

This determines that the script written by 008 is actually Adam's script, and 008's current master is Ince Zangwill, whose goal is Saint Selena's ashes. Therefore, Adam must also ensure that Ince Zangwill obtains the ashes.

Because of Evan and Klein's frequent interference during this period, Ince Zangwill and the 008 script have brought too many variables, but Adam doesn't care about these. He has decided that he must make sure that 008's goal is achieved, so Adam wrote a significant detail in his script - Ince Zangwill will obtain Saint Selena's ashes.

This discovery means that after all the trouble Evan and Klein have gone through, the fate of the Tingen Night Watchers hasn't really changed; they'll die sooner or later at the hands of Ince Zangwell, who wants their ashes.

But Evan wasn't saddened at all, because he remembered a famous line from a prehistoric fantasy novel he had read in his previous life: "The great trend is irreversible, but the small trend can be changed."

Since it's a foregone conclusion that Ince Zangwill will get the ashes, and there's no way to stop it, why not try a different approach?

It would be so much better if I intervened from behind the scenes to help Ince Zangwell get his ashes and get him out of there as soon as possible, without him having to worry about it.

The biggest loss was that the Church of the Night lost a Level 1 sealed artifact, but this was also tacitly approved by the Goddess of the Night.

Helping Ince Zangwell complete his plan is much easier than stopping it.

Thinking about this, Evan couldn't help but slap his forehead. How could he only understand such a simple question now?

However, if Ince Zangwell is to achieve his goal, he cannot do without Klein's help. He had described Tingen's miserable state as too horrible, which obviously frightened Klein. Otherwise, given his personality, he would not have agreed to Evan's method of expanding the deception.

Now it's going to be quite difficult to persuade Klein to do the opposite, and Evan is also feeling a bit of a headache.

While most of the content of the first volume of Lord of Mysteries has become blurred, the chapter in which Ince Zangwill uses 008 to write the story remains exceptionally clear.

It was because the final content of this chapter remained unchanged that Evan became certain that Ince Zangwill would eventually obtain the ashes.

Evan examined it closely and found that a few more sentences had been added to the story.

"Lanius's deception unexpectedly attracted the attention of Pritzker Shipyard and the Ministry of Defense, which Ince Zangwell did not expect, but he did not think this change would affect his goals."

"Tingen's mayor, Denis, and councilor Maynard are facing political ruin due to their involvement in the Mrs. Sharon affair. In order to save their political lives, the two political enemies have joined forces and set their sights on Laneus's scam, hoping that this last gamble can save them."

"Because of the interference of various forces, Lanluus's scam has become bigger and bigger, attracting more and more attention. There are even people from Backlund who have specifically targeted Lanluus, which has left Ince Zangwell puzzled and somewhat frantic."

Driven by various forces, Lanuus's scam has become one of the largest investment projects in the Kingdom of Rune in recent years.

This ignited investment enthusiasm across all levels of society in Tingen. Everyone saw an opportunity and frantically amassed funds, all hoping to get a piece of the pie.

These actions temporarily emptied the currency circulating in Tingen, ultimately harming the lowest-paid workers. Countless people went hungry, and food prices in Tingen plummeted to unprecedented levels, yet sales stalled. Farmers outside the city reluctantly sold their grain to grain merchants at rock-bottom prices, unsure where they would find the money to buy seeds next year after paying off their loans. The resentment among Tingen's lower classes was palpable, inadvertently providing fertile ground for the evil god's offspring conceived in Megous's womb, causing it to grow rapidly.

"The rapid increase in the offspring of the evil god affected Megoss, who became convinced that she was pregnant with the child of her love with Lanluus."

She couldn't wait to tell him, but she overlooked the fact that she had only known Lanius for less than a month.

"The news of Megous's pregnancy was a wake-up call for Lanluus. He realized that he had become the father of the evil god's offspring, had blasphemed the evil god, and would become one of the sacrifices for the evil god's offspring's descent. This made him want to escape Tingen as soon as possible."

"The suggestion made by Butler Buck was timely and delighted Laneus, as it would make it easier for him to transfer the embezzled funds, but he overlooked the potential risks involved."

"When the people from Backlund were using the sealed artifact to monitor Lanluus, they were corrupted by the true divine nature of the Creator within Lanluus. This corruption did not erupt immediately, but will only erupt when Ince Zangwell needs it."

"Mr. Z escaped the control of the official Extraordinary Ones and sought to contact Lanluus, but unexpectedly discovered the existence of Megaos. In order to protect the Divine Child under the spotlight, Mr. Z decided to expose Lanluus's deception and take Megaos away in the chaos."

"Mr. Z, in his heightened emotions, overlooked one point: the best way for him to protect Megaius and the offspring of the evil god was to write to him for help as soon as possible, rather than expose the deception. Of course, we can't be too harsh on him, after all, he is a follower of the evil god."
