The Branches of Time, the Dimensional War in the Vast River

So the question was this.

After learning the history, who was the person secretly cooperating with Volga from the past?

"When we left, it was Nokron who ordered the heavenly soldiers to search for him."

Minis speculated inwardly:

"Could Nokron actually have been the traitor? Was he really the thief crying 'stop thief'?"

"Pretending he had been framed by the Ancient God of Light and posing as the falsely accused Nokron—when in reality, he was acting as though someone else had impersonated him?"

This was a scheme within a scheme.

Pretending that I was the one who had been impersonated, pretending that I was the victim who had been framed.

But in truth, I—the suspect everyone thought should be ruled out first—was the real culprit.

There were plenty of schemes like this in mystery dramas!

Elise controlled life, and her ability to sense life in the unseen realm was far from weak.

The Son of Heaven, meanwhile, was the hidden controller of the high-speed rail companies and logistics networks.

In reality, there was no way to hide it.
