God of Prophecy, the White Canary, and the cameraman stepped out of the passage.
Seeing the new scenery of the seemingly endless sea of flowers, Little Mortal gasped in shock.
God of Prophecy stopped walking and stood there, motionless, while Little Mortal started running around between the flowers in a happy mood.
The White Canary, who couldn't see a certain 'puppet master', wasn't playing with his 'puppet' anymore,
Just waited patiently.
After a while, Little Mortal came back and sat beside the White Canary, which was on a flower, looking at it with interest.
Then he smiled cheekily, and God of Prophecy started moving again.
He turned around and took a deep breath, as if enjoying the 'new' air with the pleasant smell of flowers all around.
After that, he walked to the White Canary, sat down, looked at it, and, after a sigh, said with a voice full of emotion,
"Main body... We meet again."
The eyes of the White Canary widened in shock, and it said without thinking,
"You can see me?"
But hurriedly covered its beak with its wings.
Its voice was a bird's voice.
You couldn't tell from the voice what its gender was.
God of Prophecy nodded,
"I am you... Or to be exact, a small part of your will,
How can I not see my main body?"
The White Canary gasped in shock and took one step back while saying,
"Impossible!
How could you be part of my will when I don't even remember you?"
God of Prophecy closed his eyes and shook his head.
Then he sighed emotionally and said,
"Would I want to be alone all these years?
Would I want to be separated from myself all these years?
Would I want to see so much suffering all these years?
Would I want to not act on what these disgusting parasites do to my children, if we weren't forced to do it...?
If we weren't forced to close our eyes to so many horrible things?
Just for the sake of the 'Greater Good'..."
The White Canary was dumbfounded.
It could clearly hear the regret, sadness, and helplessness in this man's voice.
As if he were no longer sure whether he was doing the right thing or not.
As if all the sacrifices on this path, worth it or not?
While its mind was in turmoil, it asked,
"W-why don't I know anything then?
Why don't I remember anything?"
God of Prophecy took a deep breath, as if he was trying to bury the hardship he went through back to the deepest part of his mind, and said,
"Main body, let me ask you,
What do you think is the condition to become a level 8 creature?"
The White Canary said,
"How should I know- wait a minute!
No way!
I just saw 12 universes connected by fate and karma, is that your doing?
Don't tell me to become a level 8 creature, there is a need for 100 universes to be connected?"
God of Prophecy shrugged,
"How should I know?
That's what you planned for me to give it a try in secret."
The White Canary was stunned,
"I planned for it?
But I don't remember anything!
I just know that I failed to advance our mainland and myself to level 8 for an unknown reason!"
God of Prophecy scratched his head in confusion,
"Isn't that natural to not remember?"
The White Canary asked in puzzlement,
"Why do you say it's natural?"
God of Prophecy shrugged again,
"How should I know?
But if I think it's natural, it means the reason is you, my main body, who made me think it's natural.
Just think about it deeply, and you will surely find the answer, right?"
The White Canary looked at him blankly and started muttering to itself,
"I know the answer?
The answer should be in the information I have...
11 outsiders...
10 universes for level 7...
100 universes for level 8...
If this pattern is correct, then...
1000 universes for level 9?"
Then it gasped,
"No way!
Level 9!
It's two levels higher than me, such an entity can read my mind and even control me without me noticing!
Did I erase my memory because of this possibility?
I was wary of a creature that could influence me."
Without knowing, the small White Canary, the true manager of the mainland, was already dragged into a nonexistent illusion.
A certain group of outsiders' birth treasures were dumbfounded!
Its guess wasn't correct at all...
At least based on what they knew from their own mainland.
God of Prophecy raised an eyebrow,
"Could this be the reason?
Or why else would you plan like this?
Maybe you planned for our 'guardian' to take over 100 universes, and be strong enough to try and become the mainland guardian too?
That way, you as the manager could advance one level higher than the limit of its creatures, which is a level 8 guardian?"
The White Canary jumped up and down,
"Such a great plan!"
But it soon stopped,
"Wait, creatures at the same level as me can't appear on the mainland...
So, how are you going to let someone advance to one level higher than the current me?"
God of Prophecy smiled,
"That's guardian territory, supported by world law.
It has nothing to do with the mainland and its limits."
The White Canary rubbed its beak with its wing and muttered,
"I remember that to become level 8, our mainland needs to do something, which later turns out to be wrong, and it didn't work when I tried it.
If what you are saying is true, and you can connect 100 universes with guardian law and produce a level 8 creature,
It means the plan is for us to bring that level 8 to the mainland later?
Then, world law will be forced to push my power as manager to one level higher?
I would be level 9 then, right?
As expected of me!"
But as if it came to its senses, said,
"Wait, what level 9 are we talking about?
If there was a level 9 in the enemy camp, did they need to send a bunch of level 6 after us?
They could just make a move themselves!"
God of Prophecy looked at it in disappointment,
"Did you forget about world law?
Can they enter the territory of a mainland with a level 7 manager even if they want to?"
The manager thought for a moment and nodded,
"Oh, right, that rule works for our Mainland too.
Any creature 1 level higher than me can't enter our 'Zone'."
God of Prophecy nodded,
"Exactly.
You were the one who said, 'Now that we can't level up normally, let's try an unusual way.' "
The manager was speechless...
The Crystal and the treasures that were watching were speechless too.
The script was now in a 'free acting' phase.
The main character was making things up by himself...
What even was this conversation with this new character?
This canary wasn't even in the script, and now it has become an important, behind-the-scenes mastermind all of a sudden!
They were supposed to act as the Mainland Manager, but there is suddenly a real Manager!?
Little Mortal, the puppeteer, was now behind the canary, his hands on both sides of it, as if ready to catch it, depending on the answer it gave.
The manager asked after a while, thinking,
"What's the next step of your- I mean, my plan?"
God of Prophecy answered,
"To meet with those Outsiders.
I'm waiting for them to message me and tell me where to meet.
You can just stay with the rest and watch it live.
That newborn called 'Mortal' is going to secretly record it.
If anything happens to me, just let everyone see it and reveal the existence of the outsiders,
So everyone became aware of the danger."
The manager shook its head,
"Impossible!
I still don't trust you!
I come with you to see with my own eyes if there are any outsiders as you claimed."
The manager could clearly see it.
The body in front of it was still alive, and it was being controlled, but it couldn't see who was controlling the body at all.
If it were a higher being, it could see it,
It means the other party was at least the same level as itself, if not higher.
However, the manager was the only level 7, and there was no reason for anyone with a level higher than that to play these games with it.
It didn't know that the one controlling the puppet, Little Mortal, wasn't someone it could sense, even though it was behind it.
Maybe when the puppet and cube were behind the 'wheel', it could feel something, but not now.
God of Prophecy nodded nonchalantly,
"As you order, main body."
The manager was baffled when it saw him obey it like an underling...
...
The Castle of the Entertainment Goddess.
Big Sister was out of breath now.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a trembling hand and said,
"My beloved crystal, be good and just answer this one question,
Is Mortal recording a 'dumbfounded' creature who is a level higher than me?"
The Crystal was silent at first, but answered in the end,
< yes. >
"Is the other party with the God's Council?
And why is God of Prophecy so scared and helpless, while the rest of them are shocked and surprised?
Is that level 7 trying to kill him?
Wait, level 7 is a real thing?"
Entertainment Goddess had already expected this,
"What about outside?
What's the reason for our grassland turning into flower land?
Why is there 'celebration rain'?
I never saw anything like this before!"
Entertainment Goddess gulped down nervously,
"If you say 'not telling', it means you know the reason... You just don't want to say it.
Not only that, you even have a record of the reason behind it, right?"
The Crystal didn't answer this time.
Entertainment Goddess, not receiving any answer,
Muttered to herself,
"Forget about that.
How is it possible for my birth treasure to receive law from the emotions coming from a level 7?
Indeed, it can't convert the law, and what's giving me is pure law of speed, but it shouldn't be capable of that..."
Then she looked at her crystal suspiciously,
"Are you my real crystal or an imposter? A strong version of my Crystal from the future who time-traveled to this era?"
The Crystal,
< -_- >
Its Master's imagination was out of control.
It could only handle the law because it was receiving the support of more than one universe.
Entertainment Goddess looked at the God's Ranking,
" Mortal is still alive...
But where did he use 100 billion of his law?
Did they force him to do it after they caught him?
And... Why am I ranked one...?
What's the point of being rank one now that a rank 7 showed up out of nowhere?
I didn't even have the time to enjoy being the top expert of the mainland..."
Now that she has reached the top of the 'food chain',
She didn't feel happy at all...
Then she suddenly paused and said excitedly,
"Rank 7!
Don't tell me there is a way to become rank 7?
Are those people in God's council discussing it?
Is that the reason they are surprised?
But why was the level 7 creature surprised too...?
After so many years of receiving emotions,
Why can't I make sense of anything from this feedback?
And how is it that Little Mortal is involved with everything?"
Then she asked her crystal,
"By any chance, you don't know anything about how to become level 7, do you?"
The Crystal paused for a moment before giving her any answer.
Entertainment Goddess was sure that it was communicating with one of the child crystals.
It was like when someone is trying to get permission from their boss.
And when it was done, it said,
However, you should keep it a secret, and keep your own level a secret as well.
No unnecessary questions.
You go in, you become level 7, you come out.
If you agree, sign the contract.>
Entertainment Goddess who saw a paper dropped in front of her out of a passage!
"O_O"
.....
Back in the grassland, which was a flower land for now, Little Mortal was lying on the flower bed, looking at the 'celebration rain' falling from the sky.
A little farther, the manager was waiting alongside its 'separated will', looking at him suspiciously.
It would ask a question from time to time,
And God of Prophecy would answer it if he knew the answer,
And he would shrug, if he didn't know, while saying,
'You are the main body, if you don't know, how should I know?'
Like when it asked him what the reason was for such good karma and world celebration?
Even the birth treasures wanted to know the answer, but he shrugged and pretended not to know.
At this moment, Little Mortal was in the middle of a secret conversation with the main crystal.
However, to cover up my tracks and avoid involving her in our matters, we should pretend to be a secret organization.
But how is she going to advance?
Does she know?>
If she goes there, she might discover it herself, or it might happen naturally.>
After a while,
Don't we already have all of that?
Lubo is my birth treasure, and I can force it to give recognition.
Is Big Sister's law enough?>
Well, I thought something emergency might happen,
That's why I told you to keep 90%.
If she can use it now, why not?
She can give it a try, and we'll see what happens.
But she should pretend to be a level 6 later on if she advances.
Then we can throw her at our enemy while she pretends to be leveling up on the spot!
That's so cool, right?
Let me add it to her contract...>
And then a contract was made.
[ - I agree not to pry into the place that hosts my advancement, or anything related to my advancement.
- I agree to hide my real level until the right moment to show it in public.
- I will fight a non-dangerous battle for the organization behind this contract, the way that I'm told to.
- Neither party can harm the other while under this contract.
- World law is the witness.
Secret organization's Boss signature:
The Strongest Boss
Entertainment Goddess signature: ____ ]
And the contract was sent to Entertainment Goddess,
Who signed it after reading it?
First, because it was sent to her by a passage that Space Mirror opened.
It meant God's council and the mysterious Level 7 creature were behind this so-called 'secret organization'.
And second, because the contract itself was like a free meal.
Just act in a scene with no danger?
Wasn't that her line of work?
She was sure they needed her for some advertisement.
And third, because World Law acted as the witness.
It was like a guarantee for both parties.
So she signed while asking,
"Is Mortal in this organization?"
The Crystal answered without any delay,
It didn't know what else to say.
He is the Boss, can't you see his signature?
Entertainment Goddess nodded in understanding,
"So that's why he can secretly record so many things that he shouldn't...
Don't tell me they recruited him for his talent, and now he is messing around there and using this opportunity to send me so much law?"
The Crystal didn't say anything...
What could it say?
....
It didn't take long for the token to send a message to Little Mortal.
This time, it was Prison Cage who said an appointment was made with the outsiders.
The Soul Cube, or the other former birth treasures of outsiders, knew the location of the meeting.
Seeing everything was ready, God of Prophecy stood up,
"Main body, the appointment has been made, shall we go?"
The Mainland manager jumped on his shoulder and nodded,
"Let's go.
I want to know if these 'outsiders' are real or not."
A passage opened, and God of Prophecy walked in.
Little Mortal, before going in, sent a secret message to the main crystal through the child crystal,
The group I'm going to 'film' now is going to produce too much law that you can't handle with one or two universes as support.
And I need the support of our universe to cover up the group of puppets here if anything goes wrong.
On our side, you can just let go and stuff the law to Big Sister without worry.>
After that, Little Mortal tapped his token, cleaned the black liquid from it, sent the liquid back to the backpack to put it in its container, and then left the token on the ground before walking into the passage.
When he walked to the other side,
The first thing to welcome him was the cold breeze and the hot, burning ground.
Looking at the sky, it was completely dark.
No stars, no planets, no bubbles... Nothing.
Just an empty void.
The ground, though, was on fire.
As far as he could see, the surface of the ground was burning with blue flame.
Little Mortal nodded to himself.
This place was on the other side of the mainland, and it was burning because the Mainland was moving too fast.
That's why there was no view of the bubbles in the sky.
While looking around curiously, Little Mortal's gaze landed on the White Canary, the mainland manager.
Which now, with eyes full of fear, was staring at something far away.
Little Mortal looked in the direction it was looking, but didn't see anything.
So he used his puppet to ask,
"Main body, what's wrong?"
But the manager didn't answer, and looked at him in confusion while trembling slightly.
At this moment, another man entered from the passage.
Guardian God, with his confident smile, and the token on his waist.
The moment he walked in, he froze!
Then Little Mortal received a secret message from the guardian token,
[ Mainland manager is warning you about the surpassed level 7 creatures, disguised as level 6 in the path ahead! ]
< Oh, so that's why the White Canary is looking at Fortune Teller like that.
Was it sending a spiritual message to the Fortune Teller? >
God of Prophecy smiled,
"What are you scared of, main body?
They shouldn't be able to advance to level 7, right?
You just said other creatures can't be at the same level as you."
The rest of the birth treasures received the news too!
An emergency meeting took place between them.
All of them, except the ones who knew the truth, were ready to run.
But Glasses of Knowledge 'laughed' at their stupidity and left the meeting after saying,
< There is already a bunch of them on our side. >
Only now, the panicked birth treasures remembered about the other outsiders already in their team!
Were they surpassed level 7 creatures, too?
Another emergency meeting took place.
They analyzed the outsiders they caught.
Fortune Teller?
He wasn't anything special.
Soul God?
He indeed attacked their boss thousands of times before he got caught.
It was the first time someone showed so much resistance before getting knocked out.
But they were still puzzled as to why he couldn't come out of the prison cage later on?
None of them knew that he had actually tried, and he continued trying until he became a puppet.
The only problem was that his expertise was in soul attacks.
Birth treasures didn't have any souls, which didn't matter to him, because he could just attack the soul of the owner.
But because the 'owner' was Little Mortal, who was invisible even to the world itself sometimes, his soul attacks were targeting 'nothing'.
The third opponent Little Mortal faced was the Puppet Master,
And the one dealing with him for the first time was the 'adult Mortal'.
That 'expand' technique probably wasn't something a level 7 can handle.
And the second time, he already had the 'Equality' technique.
After that was God of Life and Death;
He indeed troubled him in their fight.
Little Mortal was even on the verge of an explosion.
And the last one was God of Thievery.
The one who dealt with him was Level 97 Mr. Morleone.
It was only natural to be beaten easily...
The only one getting beaten up too easily was the God of Prophecy, whose prophecy orb indicated he was level 6.
And not a suppressed level 7.
Looking at the history of these fights, they 'looked' at a certain group of birth treasures who were silently looking back at them like they were idiots...
The Soul Cube, Puppet, The Book of Names, and the oldest birthday gifts in the group, the Unstoppable Ride, which was the first birthday gift to be chosen by Little Mortal!
These birth treasures already knew that their masters were level 7, just disguising themselves as level 6.
But did that even matter?
This little demon would knock anyone out like they were level 1 regardless of their level...
So, with embarrassed birth treasures formerly belonging to level 6 owners,
And speechless birth treasures formerly belonging to level 7 owners,
The emergency meeting ended.
Looking at the Guardian God who just walked in,
The white Canary was stunned,
"Don't tell me this guy is the guardian of those 12 universes!
That's impossible for me to believe he is the one that I chose!
He even lost his own universe when he sacrificed himself!"
God of Prophecy walked to the Guardian God,
Took the guardian token away and placed it on his own waist.
"Am I the guardian now?"
The white Canary asked in confusion,
"Who is it then?"
God of Prophecy rolled his eyes at it,
"You are the one who decided it.
Just think about it, and I'm sure you'll reach the same conclusion as before.
You were looking for a higher being that can be trusted without you being involved or being worried about future developments."
"Impossible!
There is no such higher being!
Only those newborns can be trusted- wait!
Did I choose a newborn to be the guardian!?"
God of Prophecy chuckled,
"See?
You reached the same conclusion as before.
But I never saw the other party.
Only you know who this 'guardian' is."
The mainland manager was at a loss for words.
The birth treasures were the most confused.
What is this conversation?
Is there a truth in there?
Was Little Mortal really working for the Mainland Manager?
And then a friendly old man in a white robe stepped out of the passage.
The manager's beak opened in shock,
"I-is this Thief with us too?
Don't tell me you didn't lie about those who are under your control?"
God of Prophecy snorted arrogantly, looked into the eyes of the small bird on his shoulder, and said,
"Main body.
Don't underestimate our plan.
The lineup we gathered for our secret mission,
It is far from being simple.
The plan you made has no loopholes or weaknesses.
I already tested it out, and I know no one can reach level 7 here with you stuck at level 7, and I can just take control of anyone with ease."
The small bird looked back at him.
There was only one word that could describe the eyes looking at it!
[Control!]
God of Prophecy said with a tone that you could only hear absolute confidence from it.
"The chance of success for our secret operation is ...100%!"
The White Canary gasped,
"My plans are so perfect...?"
It didn't take long for others to come out one after another.
Each one made the lower beak of the manager drop a little more.
God of Life and Death, Thanathel, in his skeleton form with the Book of Names on his waist.
Puppet Master, Viros, with his Puppet Maker, covered by his cloak.
Soul God, Psyche, with his Cube.
Nature God, Pan, with the World Tree.
Sea Goddess, Amphitrite, with Heaven's Tear.
God of Disasters, Khali, with his Gauntlet of Disaster in hand.
God of Oppression, Set, in his full body armor.
God of Meteorite, Hecate, with his Starfall Stone.
Ice God, Nejord, with his Frostveil Crystal.
Assassin God, Hades, with his Silver Knife.
God of Contract, Hermes, with his brush and inkwell.
Seeing the lineup, which seemed to have outsiders as leaders and the rest as an obedient bunch following them, made the manager feel dizzy.
It couldn't keep up with the changes anymore...
So many things happened under its nose without its knowledge, and all of it was part of its own plan?
And the manager wasn't the only one surprised here.
The most surprised group was the puppets themselves, who, despite not having control over their bodies, could see and hear everything clearly...
....
A while ago.
The Castle of the Entertainment Goddess.
Entertainment Goddess suddenly saw a passage opening in front of her and heard her crystal saying,
< It's time, Master!
It's now or never!
And don't forget your contract. >
Entertainment Goddess asked in panic,
"What?
Now? But I know nothing about level 7!
We don't even have enough law for my advancement if there is a need for it!"
The Crystal said seriously,
< Master, do you trust me? >
Entertainment Goddess, while confused, nodded firmly.
< Then let's go. >
And went into the passage.
"You!
Wait for me!"
And she followed immediately.
The trust and bond between birth treasures and their masters was indeed nothing ordinary.
The moment she stepped on the other side, the first thing she did was to seal all of her senses.
She just stayed connected to her crystal.
"Do you hear me?"
< Yes, Master, be ready. >
Entertainment Goddess gulped down nervously,
"What is this scary thing that is locked on me?"
< The one below us? >
"Y-yes..."
< Don't worry about it, it's friendly. >
"Are you sure...?"
< Master, here, is the safest place in the multiverse.
You just focus on your advancement, and leave the rest to me. >
"..."
Entertainment Goddess wondered why her birth treasure had suddenly become so confident and talkative, as if it were back home.
But before she could think too much, a wave of law
that she never felt before came to her like a tide.
12 level 6 beings and 1 level 7!
She didn't even have time to think about how so many higher beings could undergo such an emotional change at the same time.
And why did five of those level 6 creatures feel different?
And more importantly, she didn't know what to do with all of this law.
But a voice suddenly echoed in her ears that she was familiar with.
[ Higher being, Saraswati, planet **** can host your advancement to level 7, supreme being.
Requesting permission from ******.]
And then a moment later,
[ ****** permitted you to advance on planet ****.]
Hearing the censored words of World Law,
Entertainment Goddess knew the reason for it was the contract.
She wasn't supposed to know things that she shouldn't.
But with this feedback, World Law indirectly showed her the way.
After getting the 'permission', she could clearly see the path to level 7.
The only thing needed was a huge amount of law, which her crystal guaranteed to deliver.
....
Back to the dark side of the mainland,
The barefoot Little Mortal, hands behind his back, was walking on the fiery ground in front of the group.
Behind him, God of Thievery, Coyote, was in the lead with the God of Life and Death.
They were the senior members from what their birth treasures hinted at.
As they got closer to the source of the power behind the 'suppressed level 7 creatures', which the mainland manager mentioned, the atmosphere got heavier and heavier.
A dense killing intent locked on God of Prophecy at a certain distance, and it was so scary that the Mainland Manager couldn't take it anymore.
It sent a message to God of Prophecy, flapped its wings once, and disappeared.
The speechless birth treasure repeated the message to Little Mortal,
< They might see through my concealment.
I go watch the show with my adopted children. >
However, neither Little Mortal nor God of Prophecy cared about its departure.
From the start, this small manager didn't have a role in the 'script' anyway.
After a while, the group reached in front of a big black dome that couldn't be seen if you were farther away, and it just appeared out of nowhere.
The group of 'actors' went inside without any pause.
When Little Mortal entered, the first thing he felt was a disgusting smell.
While covering his mouth and nose, he looked around and furrowed his brow at the scene unfolding before them.
The place they entered seems to be on the verge of decay.
All kinds of diseases were in the air,
And a disgusting smell, followed by a sense of depression, made the atmosphere even worse.
Five other entities were already here, waiting for them.
From the moment they entered, the child crystal started streaming the scene inside for the members of God's council and the mainland manager, who was already with them, watching secretly.
When they saw the five towering figures, their hearts trembled in their chests.
The first one was a tall creature, towering over its surroundings with a frame that seemed to ripple like liquid shadow.
Its form was not solid, but rather a swirling mass of deep blackness, like an endless chasm of emptiness.
Its presence made the atmosphere feel like an endless void.
Little Mortal sent a secret message to his token and asked the Book of Names to introduce them.
Words appeared on the screen for the members of God's council.
[ Abyssion, the Eternal Void. ]
The name of the creature appeared above its figure.
The second creature was a creature whose form reflects the decay and desecration it brings to the world.
It appears as a grotesque entity, a twisted parody of what might once have been human or animal, now warped beyond recognition by corruption and malice.
A name appeared above the head of this twisted, unrecognizable creature, with the withered land around it affected by its law.
[ Thakgrim, the Corruptor. ]
All kinds of liquid acids were leaking from this creature's body and constantly affecting the environment around it.
Little Mortal shook his head and looked at the third creature, who seemed to be a woman from her figure.
[ Samguinia, the Wraith of Despair. ]
Even through the screen, seeing her was like the manifestation of anguish, hopelessness, and the crushing weight of eternal sorrow to those who were watching.
She had a hooded veil that barely revealed the twisted outline of her features.
Her eyes, if they can be called eyes, were hollow, deep voids of blackness, staring into the very soul of anyone unfortunate enough to gaze upon her.
It was her 'presence' that made this place so depressing.
The fourth creature was a large, disgusting creature resembling a cockroach.
This nightmarish specter of illness, with its mottled and sickly greenish-gray skin that seems to writhe with infected sores, boils, and pustules, was the source of all the diseases floating in the air.
A name appeared above its head.
[ Zaldrath, the Plague Bringer. ]
Looking at the disgusting black liquid dripping from its mouth, and the unknown creatures swimming inside,
Little Mortal shivered and looked at the fifth person.
The name of the fifth entity appeared above his figure.
[ Karnath, the Blood Lord. ]
His body was massive, at least 50 meters tall.
His skin was the color of dark, coagulated blood, deep crimson with streaks of black and dark brown, as if his flesh was perpetually soaked in the gore of countless battles.
His musculature was grotesquely exaggerated,
with veins that throb and pulse like rivers of blood, each muscle rippling with the raw power of his godly strength.
His form was both humanoid and monstrous, his body a fusion of divine and beastly, almost unnatural in its perfection of physical dominance.
His appearance was the embodiment of bloodshed itself, a terrifying force whose presence brings destruction, suffering, and the crushing weight of unyielding power.
He was the one who locked onto God of Prophecy and scared the mainland manager away.
And the sixth person, that nobody saw, and only a certain little guardian was now standing beside him and watching him curiously,
It was a man in simple clothes, completely out of place.
Looking at his face was like gazing at a random person you saw in a public place, someone you didn't care about.
It was forgettable.
On his waist was a lifelike mask that kept transforming into different faces.
Men, women, and even animals.
Little Mortal, who didn't know who he was, sent a secret message to the token,
< Little book, what's this guy's name beside me? >
But the Book of Names responded,
< Who? >
As if it couldn't see the person standing beside Little Mortal.
And the moment Little Mortal received the secret message, he suddenly saw the man's gaze actually turn to the guardian token with God of Prophecy, and then to where he was standing.
Little Mortal gasped in shock and sent another secret message,
< From now on, radio silence!
Don't send any answer to this message either.
This guy can detect it if it's from you guys. >
The man looked at where Little Mortal was standing for a while in confusion, but didn't see anything.
So he looked back at God of Prophecy again, who was in big trouble now, with interest.
Little Mortal didn't waste his time with this guy either.
He pointed at the mask hanging on his waist,
Sent it a secret message, and left to gather the other birthday gifts that the guests invited to his birthday party were supposed to give him.
