Three Questions

As Rosam recounted the story, Angel was initially shocked by the event that had drawn people from all directions to the Devil Sea, and captivated by Sanders's grand, tumultuous experiences.

But as the story unfolded, he too fell into thought.

Could the anomaly in the Outer Eye truly have been connected to this matter?

He still remembered that the Outer Eye had first behaved strangely on the night Sanders and Flora returned to the Cloud Whale. According to Rosam, Sanders should have returned then to avoid being besieged by the stowaways brought by Siliwu.

Yet not long after Sanders returned to the Cloud Whale, the Outer Eye underwent a mutation. At the same time, the plane fusion coveted by the wizards on the other side failed.

Rosam's exact words had been: after passing its initial stage, plane fusion had never once failed.

But that time, the plane fusion that was bound to succeed had failed anyway.

Considering the timing, could the Outer Eye truly have been behind it?

If the Outer Eye's abnormal changes had indeed been caused by this, then didn't that mean the Outer Eye had snatched food from the mouth of the world's will—and succeeded?

"Other than that, were there any other anomalies in the Devil Sea at the time?" Angel asked again.
