SYS (Novel) Chapter 786


Chapter 786

"Manipulation?"

"Yes, as soon as she finished her prayer, the records suddenly started appearing. The disruptive interference on the battlefield immediately disappeared."

Valeria opened the record window.

<Lokia Ganesto rescues Kelliark Zipple, who was on the verge of death, and escapes from the Tower of Stories.>

<'You can't die here, Kelliark Zipple. You must complete yourself and face Cyron.'>

The two sentences appeared vividly in the record window.

"The records of Lokia obtained from Lady Luntia's subspace used to be unstable and scattered, unlike this time. It could be due to the manipulation of history applied to Lokia or Lokia deliberately used something."

"But unlike last time, there are no problems with the records obtained about Lokia this time...?"

"That's right. Sanna intervened. And in my opinion, Sanna assumes I wouldn't have noticed. She wouldn't have been sure if she hadn't personally witnessed the moment the prayer ended or if she hadn't confirmed the instability of Lokia's records before."

Sanna didn't intervene in the form of record magic, but in the records themselves that remained at the scene.

If she had intervened with record magic, Valeria would have definitely noticed it, but if she had changed the records themselves, Valeria as she is now wouldn't have been able to detect it.

Her record magic is not yet perfect.

When Valeria explained this, her companions nodded.

"Sanna was manipulating the records, anticipating that we would come. Fortunately, we arrived exactly at the moment the records were manipulated and were able to recognize it. There are also reasons why Sanna couldn't replicate the unique instability of Lokia's records."

"That's right, Jin."

"In that case, doesn't it decrease the possibility of Sanna and Lokia being in collusion?"

Siris said.

As she said, if Sanna and Lokia were in collusion, there would be no need to manipulate the records in this way.

Lokia could have personally come and done the same thing as in the case of Lunita.

Mort breathed heavily.

After a while, the group arrived at the Tikan Palace Garden, and the meeting began immediately.

Lueth from the Garden of Swords and Iello from Honka Island also participated in the meeting through communication devices.

Valeria shared the information she had obtained from the Tower of Stories with her companions for a while.

"...That's all."

{Well done, Valeria. Based on the explanation, I believe there are three main points. First, the truth about Kelliark's rampage and his whereabouts. Second, Zipple and Sanna, as well as the relationship between Lokia and Sanna. And third, the reasons for manipulating the records and the motivations of the enemies.}

When Lueht spoke, the discussion about Kelliark's rampage began first.

When asked if Kelliark Zipple was really seeking the power of the evil god, Jin and most of his companions responded with a skeptical reaction.

"So far, there have been no significant signs about Kelliark. We may have overlooked it, but this is the first time there has been a rampage and a battle involving Kelliark in the Tower of Stories."

"That's right, young master. It makes no sense for the Zipple clan to try to turn Kelliark into the evil god. That power is uncontrollable, and it already has a record of being defeated by the forces of the temporary alliance. Especially with the young master Jin's God of Battle Fusion, there is no reason for Zipple to covet it."

The power of the evil god is a catastrophe that can lead to the destruction of the world.

However, it was defeated by the main forces, and Jin not long ago.

To gain the absolute domination that Zipple desires, a power beyond that of the evil god is needed.

Besides, they have the Demon God Orb.

Instead of obtaining the power of the evil god, completing the Demon God Orb would align more with Zipple's goals in several ways.

"The process of becoming the evil god also requires the power of Helluram. However, unlike the Prophet, Sanna, the priestess, uses the power of the Sun God."

"In that case... Kelliark's rampage could have been orchestrated by Beradin for the purge."

Everyone's attention focused on Cuicantelle's words.

"So, Beradin Zipple orchestrated all this to subdue Kelliark and seize absolute power in the clan...?"

"That's why if Beradin deliberately instigated Kadun's influence to strip him of his power, Kadun's recent actions could be the evidence."

"If it were for the purge, there could be many reasons. If Kelliark were in an irrecoverable state, taking him down would solidify Beradin's power, or even if Kelliark had to be killed because he went uncontrollably, it would have been better to frame him and let Beradin take care of it."

Eventually, Jin exchanged glances with his comrades and added an observation.

"...Or, it could be the result of some deception by Lokia Ganesto, just like during the evil god incident. Either way, it's obvious that Kelliark has failed. The safest way is to find out his whereabouts and ask him directly."

"As the Sir says, it would be best to find Kelliark. If Sanna manipulated the records, there may not be any existence that helped Kelliark escape. In that case, he may have escaped on his own and is hiding."

Whatever the reason for Kelliark's purge, Beradin is now the leader of Zipple.

The era of Kelliark Zipple has completely come to an end.

And Jin had a feeling about it.

Dealing with the mentally manipulated friend would be more challenging than facing Kelliark.

The skills resemble record magic, the enhanced Demon God Orb, the existence of the Holy Land, and the living golems within it.

In reality, the skills that Beradin demonstrated while leading Zipple again as the young patriarch were much more threatening than during Kelliark's era.

{Finding Kelliark can only be entrusted to Valeria. Even if he didn't become the evil god, it's true that he went berserk due to chaos, so he won't last long underground. With that level of chaos, he will eventually be exposed wherever he is. We have to find him before Zipple to know the truth for sure.}

"Understood, Mrs. Luet."

{Regarding the information about the manipulation of the records, I will also do my best to deduce it.}

"Now let's talk about Sanna, the priestess. She appeared suddenly and didn't hide her power as a follower of the Sun God. She even mentioned that there are several religious sects within the religion of the Sun God and demonstrated the ability to manipulate records."

"And when Jin asked her if she intended to destroy the world first and then resurrect the Sun God, she remained silent for a moment."

This time, Siris added her opinion to Jin's words.

"So far, the followers of the Sun God, including Orgal, have claimed that when the Sun God resurrects, the world will be restored. So, Sanna might be trying to destroy the world completely and then resurrect the Sun God. After all, if the world is destroyed but the Sun God returns, it will be restored again."

If Siris's assumption is true, it raises enough questions to understand the difference in perspectives between Kinzelo and Sanna.

Kinzelo seeks to preserve and transform the world, while Sanna aspires to start anew from the beginning.

"If Siris-nim's assumption is correct, the destruction of the world may be a necessary condition for the resurrection of the Sun God. At least in Sanna's faction, they may believe it."

"In that case, can't we explain why Sanna is with Zipple instead of Kinzelo? It's a plan to use Zipple to destroy the world first! Using elements like the Demon God Orb, the Elona Zipple that Misha-nim is currently sealing."

When Enya spoke, everyone's eyes widened.

It was just a hypothesis, but everyone felt a chilling sensation down their spines.

"But if the destruction of the world is a prerequisite for the resurrection of the Sun God, Sanna's and Lokia's goal overlaps. Lokia is suspected to be the one who manipulated Rosa from behind to become the evil god."

"No matter what assumption we consider, the possibility of Sanna and Lokia being in collusion remains. The reason why the manipulated records didn't become unstable this time could be because Lokia, who is cooperating with Sanna, was absent."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Valeria's statement.

Sanna, Lokia, Kinzelo.

Although they followed different paths, they shared the same ultimate goal.

If a decisive moment arises to resurrect the Sun God, they could join forces at any time.

{Sir Bale, do you have any knowledge about the religion of the Sun God or its sects?}

"No, I don't. That little girl Sanna's skills can be quite annoying, surpassing mine."

{Try to be a little more helpful person.}

"Yes... sorry."

"Well, based on the assumptions we have so far... there is a high possibility that Zipple and Sanna are using each other. Zipple seeks the completion of the Demon God Orb and the living magical sword golems, while Sanna seeks the resurrection of the Sun God."

"It's similar to the alliance between Kinzelo and Zipple in the past."

"In that case, we have no choice but to skillfully mediate between the two so that they oppose each other, as they did back then, preventing both of them from achieving what they want."

The completion of the Demon God Orb and the resurrection of the Sun God, the enemies' goals were clear.

Several assumptions similar to those discussed above were presented during the meeting.

In the absence of a definitive conclusion, it seemed necessary to meet with someone who had the most reliable knowledge about the religion of the Sun God and Lokia.

"I need to meet with Orgal. He surely knows about Sanna. If I approach him directly as I did last time, it will cause another uproar. Please send a letter immediately."

"Understood, young master."

When they were about to conclude the meeting, urgent footsteps could be heard in the corridor.

They were Jet's hurried steps.

"Jet?"

"My Lord! It's from Kelliark! Kelliark Zipple!"

Jet entered the conference room with a surprised expression on his face and blurted out Kelliark's name.

"What did you say?"

"Someone from Kelliark Zipple's side has come to Tikan right now! They have an important message for the Lord...! I thought he was just crazy, but he showed me the Seal of Fire!"

"...Bring them here immediately!"
