Hearing Helmosuin’s answer, the corner of Klein’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. He nearly froze on the spot.
My enemies aren’t in Bayam… Even if you died at Sea King’s door, it wouldn’t have much effect… He slowly inhaled and did not continue the earlier topic. Instead, he asked, “Helmosuin—no, Mr. Hilarion. Why exactly did you notice me?”
And why did you even specially come over before dying to remind me?
This was also his confusion regarding Magic Mirror Arrodes and Miss Messenger Reinette Tinekerr. He simply had never had a good opportunity to ask.
Separated by the door, Helmosuin fell silent for two seconds. Then, with a smile in his voice, he said, “Certain traits on you are no secret to a small number of special, high-level spirit world creatures. As long as they have come into close contact with you, they can discover it. After all, the gray fog symbolizing the great ruler above the spirit world is right above our heads. A few deities with unique authorities, or Beyonders representing fate, can also discover this to varying degrees. Of course, the prerequisite is close contact.”
Gray fog… Although Orange Light’s statement is almost identical to Arrodes’s flattery, he directly pointed out the gray fog. This is the first time I’ve encountered someone directly bringing up this point to my face! So that mysterious space is the divine kingdom left behind by the great ruler above the spirit world? What pathway’s Sequence 0 is this? And the deities capable of discovering that I have the gray fog’s blessing include the Mother Tree of Desire, so that’s why She targeted me? Klein’s thoughts were like boiling water, bubbling with questions.
He was about to speak when Helmosuin continued, “In Yellow Light’s prophecy, the great ruler above the spirit world is one of the variables of the apocalypse. However, I cannot be certain that you are equal to Him. There are too many possibilities that might cause you to possess such a trait. For instance, His Blessed, His child, or the divine envoy He chose. But that does not prevent me from expressing a little friendliness.
“Cough. You know the Backlund Stock Exchange, yes? You are like a newly listed railway company. You seem to have a good future, so a portion of people are naturally optimistic about you and will buy some shares. Meanwhile, many people will be extremely greedy, hoping to use other methods to seize this company or gain a controlling stake. The former describes me. The latter describes the Mother Tree of Desire, and many other powerful spirit world creatures.”
So that’s how it is… If there hadn’t been another transmigrator related to the gray fog before me, Emperor Roselle; if I hadn’t divined my own origin in that mysterious space, received a clear image of Earth, and recovered even more memories, I would suspect that I might be the reincarnation of that great ruler above the spirit world… Judging from the overall experience, Roselle and I are closer to chosen divine envoys… Does the great ruler above the spirit world equal the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings? Klein unavoidably developed all kinds of guesses. His mind was as tangled as a ball of yarn that had been played with by a cat.
After calming his emotions, he asked, “Is there any method to conceal that trait?”
“Become a demigod.” Helmosuin had only just answered when he suddenly coughed twice. “Do you mind if I die at your door?”
“…I do.” Klein did not want to attract the attention of demigods such as Sea King Jahn Kottman and Admiral Robert Davis.
Helmosuin bit into a candy with a crunch.
“Then I must leave immediately, or it will be too late.
“When you become a demigod and have the ability to explore the depths of the spirit world, we will have a chance to meet again.”
Klein fell silent for one second.
“Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Hilarion.”
Helmosuin did not reply. His footsteps, somewhat heavy, headed toward the…
