Melantha's eyes lit up. "The message Onassis sent to Trom before only mentioned suppressing the inner demon; it never said the inner demon had to be completely resolved. According to his own intent, awakening his dormant personality should be enough."
When Hydra said the dormant personality could be awakened, Melantha had thought the matter could be smoothly resolved. Yet to her surprise, Hydra added, "There is a way to awaken the dormant personality, but it may not be very suitable for the current situation."
Under Melantha's puzzled gaze, Hydra explained why.
After confirming that this was a case of dual personalities, the solution he had thought of was "mental intervention."
Mental intervention upon Onassis's current personality. Hypnosis or mental guidance would both work; as long as he lost control of the physical body, it would leave the primary personality a gap through which it could emerge.
However, mental intervention required a prerequisite: the other party's thoughts and reason had to conform to a certain degree of logic. Their thinking did not need to align with the mainstream; even an extremist pervert would do, so long as their thoughts and logic were consistent.
But Hydra had examined him carefully. Onassis's current thoughts were chaotic, making normal mental intervention completely impossible.
"Of course, if normal intervention will not work, forced intervention can be used. But that carries risks. After all, Onassis's dual personalities share the same body. Forced methods are highly likely to inflict severe damage on Onassis's mental strength." Hydra paused. "Most importantly, even if we choose forced intervention, it will take a long time to sort everything out."
Melantha understood now. In other words, even if mental intervention succeeded, it would not awaken Onassis's primary personality anytime soon.
Yet the award and crowning ceremony was about to begin. The arrow
