The Old Director was a madman.
He intended to sacrifice this world—and himself as well.
In fact, when he began the sacrifice, the first thing he sacrificed was himself...
No wonder he could not be injured now, whether by Number Twelve's ambush or by himself after using God particle.
He had created this sacrificial ritual called "God's Cage." Since the altar was a ritual for making a deal with The Beginning, becoming one of the altar's factors had elevated him to the same level as The Beginning. And The Beginning stood above everyone else, whether the children in the orphanage or Lu Xin, who was digesting Sole Consciousness...
The discovery was terrifying.
They had come to find out what the Old Director was doing and stop him.
But the Old Director had already begun, and they did not even know where the altar was...
How were they supposed to find it?
As if he had sensed the frenzied consciousness and mental tentacles surging toward him, the Old Director gently shook his head.
"There's no need to look."
"The altar isn't here—or rather, it's everywhere..."
He was as frank as before. Even on such an important matter, he made no attempt to hide anything. "I don't like having my plans interrupted midway, so I always make my arrangements as thorough as possible. Naturally, I did the same with this altar. I was worried that no matter how well I prepared it, someone might still stop me, so I chose to place it somewhere impossible to stop."
"The abyss."
"The entire abyss is the altar, so it cannot be stopped."
"..."
"The abyss..."
The others listened, unable to understand. The altar had been placed in the abyss, but the abyss was everywhere...
"Children..."
The Old Director continued, the smile on
