Inside the Celestial Soul Dinsional Realm, Roan watched the outside since the exit he left behind was still inside Gratlur's office. Gratlur's expression slowly changed, and suddenly, the normal Gratlur was back, looking around in confusion. "Hum? Where is Zangeshu?"
That event imdiately reminded Roan of Karev's story again. 'Just like it happened to Karev's brother, Gratlur also seems to not be able to rember what happened when his real Will was trying to take back control.'
Rean, who was in the Puppetry test, agreed with him. 'Indeed. That is a good thing, though. You can just leave Zangeshu sowhere when we leave this place.'
[Rean... I don't want to kill your drive, but are you sure you want to make this place explode? You would literally be killing many innocent experts. Not to ntion, the Inquisition Forging Hall mbers you kill aren't really the culprits. They are most likely under the sa type of control as Gratlur just now.]
Rean shook his head in response. 'Are you crazy? I obviously wouldn't do such a thing! When we start to make the formations in the Inquisition Forging Hall go chaotic, we will make it so they can identify straight away this place is going to explode. Or, to be more specific, the volcano it is attached to will. Everyone will have plenty of ti to escape before things go out of control for real. Sister Orb, you just need to make sure the changes you make to the cores can't be reverted.'
[Oh! Then that's a lot better. But I will need a while longer to change them all.]
'That's not an issue. You can hack into the formations without anyone noticing, anyway. Hehe!' Rean answered. 'By the way, Roan, do you think Gratlur would try to kill Zangeshu if you released him outside.'
Roan understood what Rean ant. 'You are saying that Gratlur doesn't rember Zangeshu now. However, as soon as he sees Zangeshu, he will lose his Will again and try to kill the kid, is that right?'
That was exactly what Rean was thinking. 'That's correct. I an, the fact that Gratlur attacked Zangeshu probably ans that Zangeshu himself still isn't under the sa kind of control as Gratlur or Karev's brother. If he was, Gratlur would know and would not have attacked Zangeshu... or you, to be correct.'
[There are two possibilities here.] Sister Orb intervened. [One, Zangeshu truly isn't under any kind of control. Once Roan asked Gratlur about the future of this planet, Gratlur was forced to kill him by whatever was controlling his real Will. That also indicates that Gratlur will attack Zangeshu again most likely.]
[Or two: After Roan made his question, so kind of protocol was activated, and it might have detected that Roan wasn't under the sa type of mind control. Thus, Gratlur attacked, thinking about Roan as an enemy. So, Gratlur might not have attacked if the one who made the question was truly Zangeshu in the flesh.] Neither Rean nor Roan could deny both possibilities. However, Roan had an advantage. He looked in a certain place direction, quickly finding an unconscious body there. 'I might as well take a better look into Zangeshu's soul.'
'Actually...' Yet, he imdiately stopped, looking at Sister Orb. 'You take a look at his soul. Inside the Celestial Soul Dinsional Realm, you are god, right? If there is truly sothing controlling Zangeshu's will or whatever, you are the best you to find it.'
Sister Orb had to admit she was happy. [Look at you, trusting your companions. Little Roan has truly grown up.]
Roan's mouth twitched. 'If just you weren't omnipotent in this fucking place...'
[Hahaha!] Sister Orb was very pleased with herself. It was good to see that it wasn't only Rean and Roan who could pull soone's leg every ti.
Sister Orb then grabbed Zangeshu's body with her control over the Celestial Soul Dinsional Realm, pulling him very close. The Control Orb then touched Zangeshu's forehead, and Sister Orb's sense entered his body and soul. It was just like Roan said. In this place, Sister Orb is god. If there was truly sothing foreign inside Zangeshu, she would find it.
However... in the end, there was nothing wrong with him. [Hum... Unless the Werdlem Empire has so kind of Mind Controlling ability that I can not detect with the System's Power, Zangeshu is completely clean.]
Roan wanted to make sure he wasn't missing anything, though. he looked at Zangeshu's abdon, which had a hole in it. For Roan to pretend to be Zangeshu, just his body, mories, and aura weren't enough. He also needed Zangeshu's Werdlem Stone. That would also fool the Werdlem Empire's System.
Roan opened the slot in the bracelet, taking the Werdlem Stone out and throwing it at Sister Orb. 'Check this thing. Is it possible for the Inquisition Forging Hall to take control over Zangeshu's body through this?'
Sister Orb didn't waste ti and threw Zangeshu away, catching the Werdlem Stone instead. After sending her consciousness inside, she shook her head again. [It is just like any other Werdlem Stone I looked into. There is nothing in here that could take control of soone's Will.]
Rean already expected that. 'Nothing surprising, right? I an, if a normal Werdlem Stone truly had this capability, then Sister Orb's theory would die.'
[Which one?] Sister Orb asked back.
'The second one,' Rean continued. 'You implied Gratlur might have attacked Zangeshu because he couldn't detect the sa kind of Will Controlling power in Roan's mind. So, if the Werdlem Stones had this kind of capability, Gratlur wouldn't have attacked to start with since Roan was using Zangeshu's Werdlem Stone to pretend to be him.'
[Oh! Then that's good. It pretty much confirms that Zangeshu truly doesn't have anything from the Werdlem Empire controlling his Will.]
'Not quite,' Rean corrected her, though. 'Don't forget. You said it yourself. There might be so kind of Will Controlling power that even you can't detect. As far as we are concerned, even if Zangeshu had this Will Controlling Power in his soul, maybe the protocol was still to kill anyone who talked about the planet's future event. We can't be sure.'
Roan massaged his forehead, feeling annoyed. 'In the end, we got nowhere.'
