Old Man did not know how to "create" anomalies, but that "Archbishop" clearly did.
He had merely instructed Old Man to act according to his directions, and the Orphanage had naturally formed an Anomaly Space.
Seizing the Red Skirt Puppet had also been the Archbishop's instruction.
The anomaly of the Endless Corridor had not been created by the Anomaly Cult. However, after Old Man sent people to investigate and reported the information, the Archbishop sent an "order" to take the Red Skirt Puppet away.
Though Old Man did not know why, the Red Skirt Puppet clearly had some use to the Archbishop, so he handled the matter with great dedication.
But beyond that, Old Man knew very little. He was merely a tool who acted according to the Archbishop's instructions.
And skimmed a little profit for himself along the way.
However, unlike some of the "enemies" He Ao had encountered before, this Archbishop had not erased his own existence from memory through some method. Instead, he existed almost completely in Old Man's memories.
He Ao even learned his name: Wistain.
The instant that name surfaced in He Ao's mind, an invisible occult connection instantly crossed space and time toward him.
Beyond the vast expanse of space, a figure seemed to sense something. He turned around and cast his gaze in He Ao's direction.
At the same time, He Ao raised his head and looked toward that figure.
The power of Hyper-memory spilled out around him, stirring the chaotic threads of fate and tearing apart the invisible occult connection that was about to form.
In that instant, space and time seemed to scatter into loose strands. He Ao's gaze appeared to cross a vast distance in a single moment, meeting the gaze deep within the void.
Bang--
That invisible connection broke
