Chapter 1067 286: Centuries-Spanning Murder, the Black Sun Conspiracy, and Cai Ketongshen's Worries (10K)_4
And for unknown reasons, the Lion Heart's side did not prevent Sibel from uniting with her father Anthony, resulting in the birth of the original self.
However, this grand love affair ultimately ended with Sibel being killed by the God of Ice, marking a painful midpoint.
It's assumed that they wanted to obtain the Chaos Source Essence, which the God of Ice craved, from the mother, but evidently, this scheme failed, or at least wasn't fully successful.
This gave rise to the fifth conspiracy: A plot against the current Bell Federation, Kael, Elanna, Olivia, and potentially high-ranking officials in the federation who might protect Kael and the others.
After all, the reason the God of Ice wanted to kill was not because "Kael could threaten the deities," but because He wanted to extract the power of the Chaos Source Essence from Kael's body.
Hmm... continuing the strategy from conspiracy three, they aimed to exterminate Elanna, who inherited Olivia's power.
It's quite ironic to say, that the God of Ice seemingly anticipated that something would happen on Dragon King Island, and then set a trap to capture Kael, Elanna, Olivia, and possibly other powerhouses who might come to their aid.
In short, within the web of chained conspiracies, Kael felt like he was the leftovers, and the God of Ice's true target wasn't so much Kael as the core combat force of the federation, so He said:
"What a pity, I originally thought I could lure some little ones to come, making them fall into a long sleep just like you, but... they don't value you guys as much as I imagined!"
True attention warrants complete eradication. Currently, the force that meets this standard seems to be Olivia's [Domain · Sky Splitter], truly not intending to leave even a scrap of that inherited power.
Of course, it might not be that only Olivia has this qualification, but rather certain existences whose power has grown uncontrollable, for instance, someone who could wage a bloody battle with Pope Mephiel of the Four Divine Blessings.
So, the God of Ice's goal is clear: to prevent another existence like the Caesar Governor from appearing on this continent and to do whatever it takes to strike the living forces of the federation.
The God of Ice Church... likely always has a legion of God-chosen and petitioners ready to act, to carry out the God of Ice's plan at a moment's notice.
Otherwise, it's hard to imagine the church making such thorough preparations in such a short time, swiftly containing Kael, and with the cooperation of the Divine Descent of the God of Ice, forcibly interrupting Kael's teleportation, pulling him and Elanna onto the deserted snowy plains for battle.
This strategy targets those with Chaos Source Essence, those who inherited Olivia's power, and the high federative officials who wish to protect the former two.
The one possessing Chaos Source Essence could be Kael or anyone else.
The one inheriting Olivia's power could be Elanna or anyone else.
The one protecting both could be any high combat force within the federation.
It just so happens to be them at this moment.
Besides, given the current situation, beyond these spanning dozens to hundreds of years-old conspiracies, this sudden divine war incident vaguely gives Kael a feeling.
That there's a sixth conspiracy running parallel, hidden beyond the first five.
This conspiracy doesn't seem aimed at any particular power or individual, but more like a pure conspiracy itself.
There are a few issues here that particularly catch Kael's attention.
First, regarding the God of Ice knowing about the divine corpse on Dragon King Island, did He act on His own, or was there a dragon from the Dragon King Island giving intelligence?
Second, Olivia had already started Elanna on the Dragon Blood Ceremony, who could pinpoint Kael's rescue timing so precisely, leading the God of Ice to wait early, causing Kael to walk into the trap.
Third, Anthony and Sibel had no prior issues, and even easily gave birth to the original self, meaning that at least in the early period while Sibel was at Lion Heart Castle, their information wasn't leaked. So later, who precisely identified them, setting a death trap at the critical moment?
Kael furrowed his brows in thought.
He reviewed all the information he had.
He circled his parents' names with a quill, and finally sighed, saying, "The enemy is internal, isn't it?"
Olivia and the others were strategizing the dungeon at the time.
Father and the others were besieged by the God of Ice back then.
Inside Dragon King Island, unknown secret messages were leaked to others, leading to ambushes against himself and Elanna.
...
Through a series of events, there's a faint sense of an insider traitor.
Kael squinted his eyes, reflecting, "Really hiding in plain sight, blatant murder... Prince of Lies' followers, didn't guess wrong."
As for why it would be the followers of the Prince of Lies.
Do I even need to say it?
It's not that devout followers of the Prince of Lies infiltrated the top of various major forces, but… the strong figures who excel at playing conspiracies and intrigues naturally are believers of the Prince of Lies.
Disgusting... truly disgusting!
If I guessed correctly, it seems like those conspirator sequence individuals who delight in chaos are once again using their limited brains to showcase their trickery, intending to disrupt continental order.
