"An Evil God Progeny, an approaching Emissary, and a Spectator hidden in the shadows..." As Klein listened to Mr. Devil's rambling, his expression grew increasingly solemn.

Tingen City was just a small, third-rate city. Before his transmigration, it probably wouldn't even qualify as third-tier. Its only advantage was the presence of a considerable number of higher education institutions, making it something of a university town.

Such a city naturally didn't receive much attention from the authorities. The strongest combat power of the entire Church of the Night Mother in this city was Captain Dunn, a Sequence Seven Nightmare.

For this city, whether it was the Spectator manipulating Destiny from the shadows, the approaching Emissary of the Aurora Society, or the progeny of the Fallen Creator, they were all burdens it absolutely could not bear.

But what should he do?

Report it? Would such a message with an unknown origin be believed? He couldn't exactly say he saw it during divination, could he?

Klein paced Above the Gray Fog, pondering for a long time before finally extending his Spirituality and pulling the Devil onto the Gray Fog...

Sensing the tide-like, suddenly spreading crimson light before him, Sno paused slightly, and then his Spirit Body arrived Above the Gray Fog.

He actually chose to pull me up directly? It seems Klein at this point in time is still quite immature! Sno thought to himself, but outwardly, he maintained a respectful demeanor, placing one hand on his chest, bowing, and then speaking in a tone like that of a devout believer:

"Respected Mr. Fool, do you have any commands?"

Asking for commands directly? It looks like the Devil student has a high level of awareness! Klein thought, trying to find some humor in the situation, then adopted a tone of a pleased superior:

"I'm very interested in your previous prayer. Would you mind elaborating?"

"As you wish." Sno bowed respectfully again, then continued:

"You should remember that I once said two Secret Speakers buried a seed in Tingen City. After investigation, I discovered it pointed to a con artist named Lanclus. After a simple investigation, I decided to leak his existence to an outer member of the Secret Master Association. Although the Secret Master Association and the Aurora Society are not directly hostile, considering their potential schemes in Tingen, they would certainly not wish for an Evil God to descend here. Furthermore, the Secret Master Association itself is skilled at finding people."

But you didn't find a member of the Secret Master Association! Klein thought frantically, while outwardly maintaining a listening expression, tapping his index finger on the table and saying with interest:

"A good idea. And then?"

"After completing the commission, I originally intended to monitor that outer member of the Secret Master Association to gain contact with the higher-ups of the Secret Master Association in Tingen. However, I unexpectedly saw a woman carrying a True Creator progeny. As you know, as a Secret Speaker, I am very sensitive to the Divinity of the True Creator. I could tell almost at a glance that it was definitely an Evil God's progeny."

Creator progeny... a woman... Lanclus... Wait! Klein's pupils suddenly contracted. Fortunately, his face was obscured by the Gray Fog, so he didn't reveal any flaws.

He suddenly remembered Ms. Magaos again, and one thing became clear—

Why did he "forget" to use Spirit Vision?

It wasn't forgetfulness; it was his Spirituality warning him!

Warning him not to look directly at a god!

It's so close! Klein thought with lingering fear. Sno, however, continued:

"I was worried that my presence would be perceived by the Evil God's progeny, so I left immediately and then wrote a letter to notify the Emissary of the Aurora Society. If nothing unexpected happens, he should arrive in Tingen within two to three days and take away that lady and the Evil God's progeny she carries. But I don't think it will go that smoothly."

"Oh? Can you tell me why you chose to notify the Emissary of the Aurora Society?" Klein asked in a testing tone. Based on Mr. Devil's performance these past few days, he didn't seem to have any loyalty to the Aurora Society. On the contrary, he was quite principled. Klein couldn't understand why such a person would choose to report to the Aurora Society first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Klein spoke, Mr. Sno suddenly performed a kowtow in panic and then said nervously:

"Respected Mr. Fool, I am not disloyal to you. It's just that you don't seem to wish for us to spread your name, so I didn't dare to trouble your angels. In this situation, having the Emissary of the Aurora Society take away the Evil God's progeny is undoubtedly the best choice."

Sno paused slightly, as if observing Mr. Fool's emotions. Seeing that the Fool was not angered by his lack of piety, he continued:

"There are no powerful official extraordinarys in Tingen City. Whether it's the Redemption Punishers, the Machinery Heart, or the Night Watchers, the strongest are only Sequence Seven. Even if they wield Advanced Sealed Artifacts, they can at most suppress extraordinarys below Sequence Five. Igniting the news of an Evil God's progeny, who is likely a Demigod, in Tingen would undoubtedly cause immense casualties.

Backlund, however, is different. Even excluding the royal family, there are at least three Angels and a large number of Demigods stationed there. The birth of an Evil God's progeny in Backlund would not cause too much impact. Moreover, the Emissary of the Aurora Society himself has a high profile. His departure from Backlund to Tingen might attract official attention, thus drawing in higher Sequence official extraordinarys."

Dare not trouble my angels? You really think highly of me. Klein muttered inwardly, but he gave considerable affirmation to Sno's actions.

Just as he was about to find an excuse to end the conversation, Klein suddenly remembered the matter of the "Spectator" again. Sno was so wary of this Sequence, and Klein felt there was some hidden significance to it.

However, if he asked directly and it turned out to be nothing, his prestige would suffer. After some thought, he said in a tone that implied he had seen through everything:

"And then?"

"..." Sno found it amusing inwardly. He had originally intended to provide an opportunity, but he didn't expect Mr. Fool to be so cooperative. He immediately nodded and said:

"Mr. Fool sees clearly. In fact, I discovered that everything happening in Tingen City was premeditated. A high Sequence of the Spectator pathway, or an extraordinary person who possesses an Advanced Sealed Artifact of the Spectator pathway, planned all of this. The so-called Evil God's progeny is merely a pawn 'created' by him to achieve his goals. The reason I tried to drag the Secret Master Association into this was also to muddy the waters. After all, as you know, Diviners are the group most likely to attract the attention of Spectators."

"The mastermind in Tingen City is a Spectator? Diviners are most likely to attract Spectators' attention? But Mr. Devil, the Diviner you dragged into this is your respected Mr. Fool!"
