Chapter 92: Baffling Human Behavior

…The primitive island the Emperor accidentally discovered… The creatures on the island worship an unknown power originating from the starry sky… Below the level of angels, one will be polluted by the starry sky merely by learning about it… Avoid making wishes to the Genie as much as possible, and do not bring it to that primitive island… Admiral of Stars Cattleya finally received Mr. Fool’s feedback. While she breathed out in relief, she grew even more worried about the Queen’s exploratory voyage.

She turned her head and glanced at the Wishing Lamp, which showed no reaction. Hurriedly, she put it away. Then she spread out a sheet of writing paper, picked up her fountain pen, and described the information she had just obtained in her own words, striving to draw the Queen of Mysteries Bernadette’s utmost attention.

…

Backlund, inside a shabby apartment.

A bearded man sat in a chair, his hands cuffed behind his back.

Xio, who had already relied on her strength to become part of MI9’s middle ranks, stood before the man with two subordinates, holding a triangular bayonet. In a deep voice, she said, “We already have sufficient witnesses and evidence proving that you were one of the main organizers of this march. If you want your punishment reduced, answer my questions honestly.”

Before Xio had even spoken, the bearded man had already felt an extremely powerful pressure. Once she finished, even his mind trembled, as if bolts of electricity were gathering inside him, hiding stinging pain and paralysis that might erupt at any moment.

The bearded man endured the fear and weakness in his heart and said, “No one instructed me. I was only doing what I longed to do.

“Do you people still not understand? All of Backlund has become a powder keg. Even a tiny spark might blow up the entire city. And there are countless sparks like me who can no longer endure and are willing to take risks!

“Those damned nobles and merchants have hoarded so much grain, while people in East Borough have already starved to death!

“You can deal with me however you want. I never believed those people’s promises. The only reason I agreed to end the march earlier was that everyone received a fair amount of food.”

Xio was just about to ask something else when she suddenly tilted her head, listening to a sound in the distance.

A rumbling noise came from some unknown place, low, hoarse, and rolling layer upon layer.

Have the Feysac, Intis, or Feynapotter armies broken through the blockade and begun attacking Backlund’s defensive line? Xio’s expression instantly turned grave.

…

In the Forsaken Land of the Gods, after Klein returned to the real world, he immediately tried reaching out to see if he could take the Wishing Lamp from the fog of history.

He soon confirmed that the sealed artifact numbered 0-05 could not be summoned.

As expected, it involves a Uniqueness, or perhaps a sefirah? In any case, the Genie truly is a sealed high-level existence whose status is at least that of a King of Angels… Completely impossible to use… Klein exhaled and returned his attention to hunting the Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar.

During this period, he had already made many preparations and had also repeatedly refined the entire plan above the gray fog.

However, Klein did not rush to carry it out. He spent quite a lot more time inspecting for loopholes and patching up the parts that were not yet perfect.

Two or three days later, in the deep darkness of the silent, barren wilderness, Klein, who had interfered with divination in advance, wore a silk half top hat and a long black trench coat. Carrying a lantern that released dim yellow light, he extended his right hand with a solemn expression and grabbed at the air.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning crossed the sky, illuminating the entire world.

Klein dragged out a figure: another version of himself, holding the illusory Staff of the Stars and a lantern.

Immediately afterward, his true…
