"Wasn't that the case?"
"Of course not!" Professor Shi's voice suddenly rose. "The Black King has deceived everyone! I suspect he was never asleep and had remained active throughout the present era! His shadow was even present at the beginning of the Great Cataclysm, the establishment of humanity's new order, and several turning points concerning humanity's survival!"
The host was startled by Professor Shi's impassioned remarks.
"Professor Shi, what is your basis...?"
Professor Shi took a deep breath and posed a question to the viewers watching before their televisions.
"The basis is simple. It has now been confirmed that no means known to humanity can record the Black King's true appearance. So I would like to ask all our audience friends before the television.
How did we come to know the Black King?
We only came to know the Black King after he put on a mask. But what about before that? Before the Black King wore a mask, he was still the Black King, but... no one could know!
What's more, no one knew what he had been doing all these years, hidden behind the era.

We can remember him now because the Black King wore a mask and left behind a symbol called the Black King. But if we cast aside that symbol, then he is someone who does not exist in history!

And that mastermind was the Black King!
