Chapter 149: Three Days Apart

Could this entire matter have been aimed at me? Klein’s heart lurched, and he instantly became exceptionally clearheaded.

As someone who had experienced similar incidents more than once, he had already developed a little “persecution paranoia” in this regard.

“It really is possible… I had just arrived on Olavi Island when the Mother Tree of Desire used a dream to give Flett Ken a revelation, setting the entire plan in motion. And when Bilt Brando and I met for the first time, the people of the Naturist Sect held a ritual and caused that vagrant substitute to die from binge eating…

“If their target was Admiral Amyrius, then their plan would have had to guarantee that once he lost his substitute, he wouldn’t be able to find another helper, or wouldn’t have any other way to keep the matter hidden. Clearly, that wasn’t certain at all. My involvement is proof of that…

“But if the target was me, then all those issues can be explained.” Klein used his Clown abilities to control his facial expression, silently watching Flett Ken.

Once such a suspicion took shape, even more questions immediately surged through his mind.

“But how could they be sure Bilt Brando would come to me?

“The information that Gehrman Sparrow can transform into anyone was spread by Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy. That’s a factor the Mother Tree of Desire couldn’t control…

“Of course, viewed from another angle, perhaps precisely because that information had spread, and because I had arrived on Olavi Island, the Mother Tree of Desire sent down a revelation to push this matter forward.

“But the question is, why would She want to corrupt me? My grudge with the Rose School of Thought is nowhere near enough to attract the attention of an evil god. At most, I helped Miss Sharron and the others kill a Sequence 5 Wraith, a Sequence 6 Zombie, and a Sequence 7 Werewolf, while taking the Crimson Lunar Corona and the Biological Poison Bottle… As for the hunt targeting Admiral of Blood, it was interrupted before it could truly begin. It was never actually carried out. We only killed Steel Maveti…

“Even if those matters led to retaliation, it shouldn’t exceed the level of a Saint!

“Is there something special about me? Did I form some kind of resonance the moment I stepped onto the island with the object here that contained the aura of the Mother Tree of Desire?

“But in Backlund and in Tingen, I never saw any abnormal reaction from relics left behind by gods.

“And there’s another thing. Before this, I divined above the gray fog and received a revelation that the vagrant’s death was a coincidence, not an arrangement by a mythical creature or a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. Yet in the end, that wasn’t the case…

“This… Is this the first time a divination above the gray fog has truly been interfered with? Interfered with in a way I couldn’t detect?”

Klein’s thoughts froze. He realized that this was the most serious problem of all.

Previously, when matters involved 0-08, he simply failed to receive an effective revelation. It had never been a case of the result itself being interfered with!

So this was power above the level of a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact? Did the Mother Tree of Desire personally interfere? Is She truly a god? But even the Seven Gods find it very difficult to directly influence the real world. They require corresponding rituals… Mm, I also divined above the gray fog about the danger level of impersonating Amyrius. The revelation I received was that it was bearable, and the way matters unfolded fully matched that result. That one wasn’t interfered with? The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that the entire matter was shrouded in fog.

What he found most difficult to understand was this: if the target of the corruption had been him, why had he solved the problem relatively easily, without encountering any truly arduous test?

That made the Mother Tree of Desire’s arrangements seem like a joke! When the heavy, oppressive…
