That Wasn't the Deal...

From the very beginning, Lin Yun had overlooked one thing: although Orochi would merge the two planes after seven days,

that didn't mean he would wait seven days to break the seal.

In other words, he could break the seal the very next day. He could even do it the moment those words appeared, or on the sixth or seventh day.

In short, the seal could be broken at any point during those seven days.

But Lin Yun had subconsciously treated the seventh day as the final deadline.

It was... just a matter of how he thought about it.

In any case, after seeing Orochi and Daji disappear, Lin Yun's face turned slightly ashen. All it took was plugging in a few details and continually substituting them into the "equation" to arrive at the answer.

It was obvious. Those two, Orochi and Daji, had been using a diversion. Only Strong Man Bro was really here, and his purpose was to draw Lin Yun and the others' attention and wear Lin Yun down.

Their surprise earlier had been genuine, too. They had assumed that, given Strong Man Bro's strength, he would at least burn through some of Lin Yun's spells—or simply chop Lin Yun to pieces... But they hadn't expected that he couldn't even chop Bald Head to pieces, let alone Lin Yun.

But why had Orochi and Daji needed a diversion?

There was only one truth: they had something to do, something they didn't want Lin Yun to have enough time to stop.

Naturally, it wasn't some activity like making love.

So that left only one possibility: breaking Orochi's seal.

That meant there was no doubt about it... Lin Yun and the others had been played. Given the situation, the other side had probably already begun breaking the seal.

And
