Lynn pondered.
Clearly, he had never imagined that something like this had happened, but there was no doubt that the Jailers had long since suppressed all related information internally.
But why, exactly?
Was it about his father, or...
But at least one thing was certain: she should not have been corrupted by that calamity. Otherwise, Hell would never have let her leave, and she could not have appeared here to protect this frontier world.
And if that was the case...
Then the answer was probably already obvious. Perhaps the woman they had passed in the Nether Sea was the Eldest Miss they spoke of.
Aivier.
Lynn came back to himself and looked at the Border Kings, his expression calm.
"When I passed through the Nether Sea, I met a woman luring a Chaos Creature downstream. From what you've told me, it seems she must have been your Eldest Miss."
The great Demon leading them immediately began breathing faster.
"That's right. Not long ago, a Chaos Creature did wander into the vicinity of our Edge World."
"The Eldest Miss left to deal with it."
But they had never expected this.
Just after their Eldest Miss had lured that Chaos Creature away, the Polluters had launched a massive assault on them.
Something stirred in Lynn's mind, and he said:
"If that's the case, it's hard to rule out the possibility that the Polluters planned this all along."
Because if he were the Polluters' commander...
Knowing that an immensely powerful being was stationed in this region, the best way to conquer it would be to find a way to lure her away, then exploit the opening and breach the Edge World in one fell swoop.
And judging by the scale of their attack just now...
They really did have a chance of succeeding.
