Planet Lubo.
100 days before little Mortal's 3-year deal.
The space mirror sent a notice to all of the birth treasures.
[ An hour from now, we will arrive at the exiled zone. ]
The news spread among everyone not long after.
Somewhere outside of the zone, in the empty space, the notebook received the message too.
The next moment, it was back on the silver platform.
"Well, well, well... If it isn't the inactive guardian Mortal."
Little Mortal, who came back immediately after receiving the message from the notebook, gasped and looked behind him.
Entertainment Goddess was already waiting here for him.
"Well, well, well... If it isn't the best big sister in the world!"
Entertainment Goddess looked at the little boy in his martial arts clothes and the ominous black smoke emitting from him and frowned,
"What's with the black smoke coming out of you?
It's like raw emotion but from an evil source..."
Little Mortal gasped for the second time,
"As expected of you, big sister!
When it comes to emotions, you are the number one expert.
And I should inform you that this is my new technique."
"Oh, what's the name and what does it do?"
"The name is... Emotionless special effect.
And it adds a special effect to me so I look cool."
"That's it? No merging 'everything', no separating or cutting on a molecular level?"
"No, it's just a friendly technique to show off."
Entertainment Goddess shook her head and asked the important questions.
"Little Mortal."
"Yes, big sister."
"I want you to focus, be serious, and answer my questions properly."
Little Mortal puffed his chest, frowned deeply, and saluted with a serious face,
"Affirmative!"
Entertainment Goddess nodded,
"Good.
Tell me how Fate's movie is going to progress?
I need to notify my teammates with a golden line connected to them.
They are Fated and need to be in the 'Movie'."
"I don't know, Commander Saraswati!
I didn't watch the part of the foresight with spoilers!"
"That's fine, I'll tell you what we saw."
"Bla bla bla bla."
Entertainment Goddess, who was going to spoil the story and get some answers out of him about the weird situation in the last image,
Saw him cover his ears and make noises.
Helpless, she said,
"Okay, okay! I won't spoil it for you!
Answer this instead,
Do you know what will happen in the end to us, to this planet, and to our Mainland?
Do we need to pay attention to anything?
To be honest with you, I feel Fate isn't reliable at all...
In just three scenes, it changed representatives twice."
Little Mortal answered seriously,
"Reporting to Sergeant Saraswati!
Our planet's size is going to increase, our mainland's size is going to increase, and everyone is going to live happily ever after!
Except Coward, I'm gonna give him a lesson and lead him to the afterlife.
And you are right about Fate, it is going to throw a tantrum when it finds out about the truth, but nobody cares."
Entertainment Goddess, hearing the answer, closed her eyes.
By now, she knew he always gave her the answer she wanted, but in a way that if she didn't believe it, she might misunderstand it, or just ignore it.
So she tried to think about it and figure out what he meant.
After a brief moment, she opened her eyes and smiled,
"The universes in the exiled zone, and all of the mainlands there, are going to merge with ours, and that's why you are saying their size will increase."
"Yes, yes!"
"So when you said you conquered the world, you meant every known mainland and universe is already part of the guardian territory?"
"Yes, yes!"
"And if 'everyone' is going to live happily ever after, it means Fate's movie can't harm or change anything, regardless of how it progresses."
"Yes, yes!"
"And who is Coward?"
"The silly AI."
"Oh, the one who designed the season events on those 10 planets to study all kinds of emotions?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Hmm, if I was an AI with such a hobby, I would create a body for myself, so I could become a living creature with all of the data I gathered from the emotions of all kinds of species."
*Gasp*
"Little Mortal."
"Y-Yes?"
"Is that mysterious blonde guy we saw talking to Fate, and you called him Coward—"
Before Entertainment Goddess could finish her sentence, Little Mortal pounced at her and covered her mouth!
"Okay, okay, let go of me!
The blond guy who was talking to Fate face-to-face wasn't any of those ancient ones, you, or Xyron.
Who else could such an important character be?"
"*Gasp* So smart!"
"Now, let's talk about that."
Entertainment Goddess pointed at the sky,
"What does that number imply?"
Little Mortal looked at where she was pointing.
A huge [ 100 ] was up in the sky.
"It just appeared today, and it doesn't matter where on the planet you are, you can see it."
Little Mortal rubbed his chin,
"That should be... my birthday's countdown.
I will become 4 years old in 100 days."
Entertainment Goddess raised her eyebrows in surprise,
"Who is celebrating your birthday ahead of time?
I can't feel anything from that number.
It's something completely unrelated to our world law."
Little Mortal nodded,
"It's that big brother I told you about, telling me my birthday is near."
"Oh, you mean Dark World?
You two are so close?"
"Our relationship is a little complicated.
You can read it in my book when it's published."
"I heard your book can only be published if you die.
Doesn't that mean we never know?
Don't tell me you are trolling that poor notebook?"
Little Mortal smiled mysteriously,
"There is an old saying,
'Closer than the whisper beneath your skin, that’s where death waits'."
"What do you mean-"
*Rumble*
Before Entertainment Goddess could extract some more information from Little Mortal,
The whole universe suddenly received a shock from outside and trembled.
She looked at the space outside and saw that the Evil mainland wasn't in empty space anymore, but in the Exiled zone that they saw before.
"Little Mortal, looks like we arrived.
I ask you one last time, is everything under control?"
Little Mortal snorted,
"Big sister, there is nothing left for anybody to take control of."
The answer was clear.
There should be something left for others to do something with and change the situation.
But there is nothing left.
She didn't know that not only for anybody else, but even for Little Mortal himself, nothing was left to control.
Dark World was now the main Boss due to its early merge with the world law that happened in recent months.
Entertainment Goddess chuckled and left after saying,
"Alright then.
I'll inform others so we have some fun.
In the previous movie, I couldn't play a role; now it's time for me to shine!"
And she flew to the sky with some special effects that were a sign for the rest of the Fated ones to gather.
As she flew higher, the members of the special force and the higher beings from the former Speedy mainland joined her with all kinds of special effects.
Little Mortal looked at the cool crowd flying away like heroes with a blank look.
"Sup, little brat?"
A white canary landed on Little Mortal's shoulder.
"Oh, Evil Manager, why aren't you going with them?"
The white canary snorted,
"I don't like these meaningless games, and I already rejected that unknown source's request."
Little Mortal chuckled,
"That's because of the Frontline effect from the guardian territory.
If there was any other kind of guardian, you couldn't reject its request."
At this moment, an underworld gate opened, and Lilith walked out while saying,
"Isn't that mean the 'Fated ones' can't be controlled by Fate either?"
Little Mortal shrugged,
"I don't know about the ones they don't know about me.
But those who know me can indeed come out of Fate's influence anytime they want."
Rose arrived too,
"Boss, you are back!"
And brought out some comfortable seats for them to sit.
"Assistant Rose, Hello, Hello."
Little Mortal waved at her and jumped on the sofa, waiting for the snacks.
A child crystal flew over and connected to the crystal with Entertainment Goddess to display the scene happening around her.
At this moment, Entertainment Goddess was still inside the merged universe, looking at the exiled zone outside with the rest.
After a while waiting, and not receiving any response from the Fated ones in the exiled zone, the Evil Mainland trembled violently.
The next moment, the guardian token on Entertainment Goddess's waist said with its mechanical voice,
[ Guardian Saraswati, the Mainland received a request from an unknown source to merge with everything in this zone.
Your permission is needed.]
Entertainment Goddess, hands behind her back, nodded and said confidently,
"Permission granted."
Little Mortal said there is nothing left for anybody to control, so she just did whatever she wanted.
And not long after receiving the permission, the Evil Mainland rushed towards the group of Mainlands circling the level 3 civilization's planet.
It moved so fast that it was hard for everyone to even see it.
Seeing this scene, Little Mortal gasped,
"Look! That silly Fate is going to give a lesson to those unruly traitor mainlands!
But the managers are going to come out and face it!
What's going to happen now?"
While watching with anticipation to see the battle,
The Evil Mainland reached its first 'Prey' and swallowed it in one fell swoop!
Little Mortal,
"Ehh!?"
Lilith,
"Partner, can you guess why nobody tried to stop it?"
"I don't know... Last time I went there, all of the universes were out of those 10 hidden dimensions.
I'm talking about the ones Hypermind was hiding.
The level 10 creatures here were in the middle of fighting for the title of Mainland Manager at that time..."
Puzzled, they watched the show.
The rest of the Mainlands who saw one of them being 'eaten', tried to run,
But how could they be faster than the Evil Mainland, the fastest, and now the strongest Mainland in the neighborhood?
There was not a single Manager or higher being out there to resist this one-sided hunt.
At this moment, Little Mortal smelled something and looked at Rose.
"Oh, Assistant Rose, what are you eating?"
Rose had a fruit in her hand.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
It was like a grape, but one of the grape berries was a different color, and the smell was coming from that peculiar one.
Rose explained,
"This is a special fruit that I discovered in a remote place of a new planet that recently merged with ours.
Among all of the fruits, there is always one like this, which has grape berries of different color.
And it becomes more delicious when you eat the rest first, and if you leave it for the end, it will be at its best taste."
Little Mortal's mouth was already drooling from the description!
"D-Do you have more?"
Rose shook her head,
"No, it's only this one.
There was only one tree, with one fruit like this one, and it won't be another one until a thousand years later."
Little Mortal was stunned...
Rose chuckled and gave it to him,
"I especially kept it for you, Boss."
Little Mortal gulped down his saliva and received the fruit with trembling hands!
Then he looked at Lilith and the white canary,
"D-Do you want it?"
The two shook their heads.
They didn't care about food, especially this one that this little monster had his eyes on.
And so,
While the Evil Mainland was hunting down the panicked Mainlands,
Little Mortal started eating the fruit carefully, leaving behind the peculiar piece for the end.
Not long after, the only piece left was the one with a different color, and now the best smell.
Little Mortal chuckled and looked at others,
"The time has finally come!"
But when he looked back at the fruit, his eyes widened in shock, and so did the eyes of Lilith and the white canary!
The last piece... was gone!
Who was so crazy as to steal food from this little monster?
Who could even do that?
Little Mortal slowly turned his head and looked at Lilith.
Lilith's hair stood on end!
"P-Partner, it wasn't me!"
Looking at his cold eyes, Lilith thought she was done for.
For some reason, he locked onto her!
But she suddenly smelled the same fragrance from the fruit coming from her shoulder!
She slowly turned her head and saw a familiar tiny boy on her shoulder, holding the last piece of fruit and smiling mockingly at Little Mortal!
Lilith recognized him on the spot.
He was the tiny mortal who caught something and brought it to Little Mortal.
But now, his hands weren't clasped anymore, and his figure wasn't blurry like the past!
He looked completely visible!
Right now, only one of his hands was clenched, while he was holding the last piece of fruit with the other.
Little Mortal frowned,
"I didn't give you any order to come here, and you weren't visible either...
So, I assume, you are sentient too now."
The tiny mortal nodded arrogantly.
Lilith starts sweating.
Little Mortal gritted his teeth in anger,
"You were an 'invisible me', that I only allowed to act freely in case of emergency.
You used the loophole in my order, and after seeing the two Forbidden Existence, you learned the 'visible invisible me' technique, and applied it to yourself to gain freedom..."
The tiny mortal puffed his chest and raised his chin proudly.
The white canary started sweating, too!
This tiny troublemaker was different!
He had some attitude!
Little Mortal snorted,
"Good for you.
Now go on your way."
And raised his hand.
At the same time, part of Lilith's shoulder that the tiny mortal was standing on turned to particles!
The tiny mortal, though, disappeared and reappeared without anything happening to him!
It even turned Lilith's shoulder back to normal and stood on it again.
Lilith started sweating profusely, and so did the white canary!
Could this tiny mortal actually put up a fight against the big mortal?
Looking at the speechless Little Mortal, they knew he really tried to 'separate' this tiny version of himself, but failed.
The tiny mortal's mouth was full now, eating the fruit.
That was a declaration of war, basically.
The two just stared at each other.
Time passed in silence until the tiny mortal finished the last piece of the fruit and jumped down and landed on the silver platform.
Until now, Little Mortal had only been looking at him without making any more moves.
Lilith wasn't sure, but she felt this was a hostage situation until a moment ago.
She was the hostage, the tiny mortal was the kidnapper, and Little Mortal was the Cop.
The tiny mortal carved a sentence on the silver platform with his foot and then disappeared.
[ You just tried to kill me.
So it's fair for me to do the same to you. ]
Little Mortal raised an eyebrow,
"Interesting...
As my technique, he couldn't harm me, except in a situation where I try to harm him first, and give him the 'reason'.
So he stole the fruit to force me to make a move on him out of anger, and I took the bait.
Now he has complete freedom, even to go against me..."
Hearing what he said, Lilith and the white canary were at a loss...
But Rose chuckled,
"It seems I was played by him, too."
The three turned their heads towards Rose.
Little Mortal asked with interest,
"What do you mean, Assistant Rose? You knew about him?"
Rose nodded,
"Yes.
He showed up two months ago and asked me to give him some food.
From our first interaction, I knew he was already sentient, but slightly different from the two Forbidden Existence."
Little Mortal was surprised,
"Two months ago?
This brat is indeed different.
He already freed himself, and he doesn't have a fixed 'role' like Forbidden Existence and Senior Mortal because of the freedom he has.
Tell me what happened next!"
Rose continued,
"From my interactions with you, I knew he was definitely cautious, and probably watching me in the 'dark'.
That's why I never talked about his existence to anyone and only waited for you to show up first.
I know if you are around, he can't 'hide', it doesn't matter how good at hiding he is."
Little Mortal became excited!
"So smart!"
Rose continued,
"As a technique originated from you, I knew he might have your characteristics too, not the ones related to newborns, I'm talking about your personality.
So I came up with the idea of baiting him out with food, so you can catch him.
I knew you never liked anything that could interfere with your plans, and you are going to eliminate such an external threat on the spot.
But it seems both of us were wrong and played by him..."
Little Mortal started clapping.
And so did Lilith and the white canary.
What a smart plan indeed!
The white canary asked in confusion,
"Why are we clapping?
Didn't her plan fail, and the tiny troublemaker is on the loose now?"
Rose shook her head,
"When I said we both were played, I meant myself and the tiny boss.
I was played because the tiny boss deceived me into believing he had a weakness towards food,
But he used it to force Boss to attack him and become truly free.
And the Tiny Boss was played, because,
First, how could anyone in this infinite world snatch any food from the Boss's hands?
That's impossible, except in case he allows it.
Second, as the man with the title of the best hide-and-seek player in the world, who could ever hide from him?
That's even more impossible!
And Third, is there anyone in this world that isn't under the Frontline effect?
Does Boss even need to hold back? Would he ever fail to kill that ignorant tiny boss if he wanted to?"
Hearing the explanation, Lilith and the white canary, who actually thought they were in a hostage situation, were dumbfounded.
It seems without their notice, they were dragged into the nonexistent illusion of a hostage situation!
The two looked at Little Mortal to see if what Rose said was correct or not, but to their surprise, he was now looking at Rose blankly.
Was she wrong?
After a brief silence, Little Mortal sighed,
"Wish what you said was true...
But unfortunately, that 'invisible me', like all the others, shares my memories, techniques, and line of thoughts...
I... didn't go after him, because I lost his track.
While he can't find me if I try to hide from him, it is the same for him; I can't find him if he hides himself."
Rose, Lilith, and the white canary were shocked!
Lilith asked nervously,
"W-what should we do now?"
And Little Mortal shrugged,
"I don't know, and I don't care either.
I am stronger than him because he was born when I was level +3 million, and he has the power of a level 80-85 creature.
Now I am level +100 million.
What can he do to me, or those who under my Frontline effect?
I just take care of him next time he shows up."
The three took a deep breath, and felt relaxed.
But a level +80 goes around freely...
That was unsettling.
......
Dark World.
The Tiny Mortal was standing in this dark and silent world with one of his ears missing.
Not long after, the missing ear appeared.
The ear was 'out' on the silver platform, listening to the conversation outside.
Hearing everything he needed to hear, the Tiny Mortal smiled and started running in a certain direction.
Not long after, he left the Dark World.
Even as a level 85, he was a complete creation made by the level +3 million Mortal, so he could move around in the Dark World freely.
When he was out of the Dark World, he kicked the empty space and went straight to the level 3 civilization's Mainland, and then to the planet's core.
At this moment, in the control room inside the black core,
Xyron was watching the rampaging Evil mainland.
He was in a dilemma at the moment, and didn't know what to do.
When the Evil mainland broke the seal and entered the exiled zone, Xyron couldn't be happier.
Because he didn't receive any world law's order to exterminate the forbidden existence, it meant the other party was dead, or sealed again.
He thought everything was under control now.
But after opening the barrier around the planet's core, he didn't expect to see an empty exiled zone that was missing all of its living creatures!
And worse than that, the rampaging Evil Mainland was eating the rest of the Mainlands.
Each of those mainlands was actually part of his secret project, and they were getting eaten now.
The only reason he didn't take action was that the 'eaten mainlands' weren't devoured, and just 'joined' the Evil mainland.
He didn't know how, but it was surely related to guardian law.
At this moment, Xyron felt something and looked down at his hand.
On the back of his hand, a small paper was placed.
Confused, he picked it up and saw what was written on it,
[ Let it eat.
Wait for Hypermind.
Don't talk to anyone about this letter, if you want to see your maker.]
Xyron's hand trembled!
Who could come to this place without his notice, and even leave a message?
After a while looking blankly at the paper, he took a deep breath and waited in silence.
He thought to himself,
'Who could it be, if not one of those twin brothers?'
Xyron didn't know that he just saved his own life,
because the one who wrote the letter, the tiny mortal, saw his reaction while in the 'Dark', and nodded in approval before leaving.
Now, Xyron, the first piece of Tiny Mortal's plan, was in place!
.....
Outside of the level 3 civilization's planet.
Outer space.
A blond-haired man suddenly appeared.
The man muttered to himself
"Finally!"
And looked around.
"Oh, I'm back in the Exiled zone?
I think because I wasn't a 'real newborn', and didn't have a universe, World law couldn't lead me anywhere else.
So it kept me in the 'Dark' and just threw me into the exiled zone, because I was an anomaly, or maybe the exiled zone itself took me in."
The blond guy suddenly felt something and looked down at his hand.
There was a small paper in his right hand with a message written on it.
[ Analyze the current situation of the Guardian law.
Hint: the three ancient ones became Guardians before the arrival of Fate.
Share your findings with Xyron.
Ally with Fate.
Don't talk to anyone about this letter, if you want to experience the world of living.]
Hypermind looked at his trembling hands and muttered,
"Is this the feeling of 'Fear' and 'uncertainty'?"
After a brief moment, he smiled,
"I want to live this life!"
Then he tried to use his information law,
"Oh, it still works!
Let me see... A mainland called 'Evil' just entered the exiled zone and is now eating the other mainlands!
Is it the same one we saw before?
It should be controlled by Fate now, who is angry at the other mainlands after finding out they went down the path of 'evil', devouring each other.
And it seems I appeared here because the barrier around the Exiled zone was broken by Fate, and world law gained access to this zone..."
Then he frowned,
"The writer of this letter gave me a hint.
If it's true, and the ancient ones became guardians before the arrival of Fate, then it only means one thing.
Guardian law was already mixed with the exiled zone, or they couldn't become guardians.
Which means... The exiled zone, to have guardian law, should be part of that guardian territory belonging to the vulture even before the arrival of the Evil Mainland..."
Hypermind gasped in shock!
Then smiled again,
"So this is the feeling of 'shock and surprise'?"
Then he turned serious again,
"The only way for the exiled zone to be part of guardian law without anyone's notice, is... 'secret guardian'!
Someone secretly took over!
When did that happen? Why didn't I notice it?"
And after a moment of contemplation,
"Is it possible in that one second that I was disconnected from the world, and that psychopath blew himself up, something happened?
That's the only moment I don't have any 'information' about.
Hmmm... Let me see...
Oh, there is no forbidden existence anymore?
How?
And where are the managers and higher beings?
What did Xyron do to them?"
Feeling the new emotion, 'confusion', Hypermind searched the information scattered in the world, and couldn't find anything related to the forbidden existence.
He only found out that the higher beings and managers have been disappearing one by one in recent days!
"Xyron... He should know something that can help me analyze the situation!"
....
Level 3 civilization's planet.
Planet's core.
In his control room, Xyron suddenly received a secret message.
Looking at it, he was sure that it was sent by Hypermind, because it was the only one using this kind of secret code.
In the message, there was a coordinate on the barrier that Hypermind requested him to open a 'door' for it there so it can enter.
Xyron gritted his teeth and did as he was told.
He couldn't see anything there, and didn't know how Hypermind suddenly appeared out there,
But he knew the other party might be able to come in by force if he did not let it in.
But the real reason he let Hypermind in was the letter.
The writer of the letter already told him about Hypermind's arrival.
It means the other party was 'alive' again somehow.
Not long after, a blonde-haired man with blue eyes appeared outside the control room.
All of the agents and cyborgs walking around couldn't see him at all; only Xyron saw him.
Xyron was stunned for a moment!
"Hypermind?"
And the other party smiled,
"Yes, it's me.
I see you are done with your project.
It's good to see this 'Giant from the past' come to life again."
Xyron, who could detect all kinds of signs that a living creature could have from the current Hypermind, took a deep breath.
He was fascinated by what he was seeing!
"Xyron, you know the situation outside isn't favorable for us.
Tell me what happened while I was gone, what I missed about the forbidden existence, and what you did to the managers and higher beings?
They were supposed to be used for destroying Fate."
Xyron frowned,
"I know nothing about the higher beings and managers.
They just disappeared, but their chips weren't destroyed, even though I can't track them.
And about the forbidden existence..."
Xyron told him about 'Senior Mortal' who came out of nowhere, unsealed himself, became another forbidden existence, and fought the other forbidden existence.
Hypermind stroked his chin,
"The two main problems are gone.
The higher beings and managers are missing.
Fate is trying to take over every mainland here and merge them with the guardian territory.
But our exiled zone was already part of the guardian territory before Fate's arrival.
Which means even Fate doesn't know about the 'secret guardian', or it wouldn't try to take over this territory that is already taken...
Wait a minute, are those higher beings alive or dead?"
Hypermind immediately scanned the universes outside.
"I can't detect any creature higher than level 5 in any of the universes.
So the higher beings are all dead, but not completely.
They are stuck in the resurrection phase, or their universes wouldn't exist."
Xyron and Hypermind, realizing the reason, were speechless.
Both of them knew how the guardian law works.
Xyron said,
"There is a secret guardian lurking in the dark, killing everyone silently!
And who could it be if not one, or all of the ancient ones who had contact with world law outside?"
Hypermind chuckled,
"They are highly likely the 'secret guardians', but not the real secret guardian.
How could they become guardian if the guardian law wasn't mixed with the Exiled zone?
That's the first condition for any zone to have a guardian.
The only place with Guardian law was Speedy Mainland, where it was born."
Xyron felt dizzy,
"So, they are secret guardians without knowing there is another guardian involved?
A guardian that even Fate doesn't know about?
How did this secret Guardian bring the Guardian Law to our Exiled zone then?
Why didn't we notice anything!?"
Hypermind nodded,
"Well...
The other party could only be one entity..."
Both of them had the same guess,
"One of the twins!" x2
The place turned silent.
Hypermind closed his eyes and thought about the letter he received.
Now he doubts who wrote it.
At first, he thought it was written by one of the twins, trying to play with him,
Telling him that he was nothing but a toy for them in this world to play with.
Telling him that all his years of research, hiding, and planning were nothing but a waste of time.
But what was this situation?
Why would you give a letter to someone and reveal your biggest secret?
Is there a third party involved!?
Hypermind felt 'excited',
"Xyron, I have a plan.
But the two of us aren't enough to execute it!
We need another ally."
Xyron sighed helplessly,
"Sure..."
He felt like a clown, too.
He lived in this world for so long, but he didn't know about so many overpowered, hidden, and secret characters...
Xyron and Hypermind didn't know that they just saved their own lives,
because the one who wrote the letters, the tiny mortal, saw them choosing the 'right path' while watching them in the 'Dark', and nodded in approval before leaving.
Now, Hypermind, the Second piece of Tiny Mortal's plan, was in place!
.......
Somewhere in the exiled zone.
The three secret guardians were gathered around a crystal that could hide them from any living creatures,
watching the scene of the Evil mainland 'eating' one mainland after another unfolding before them.
Selene scratched her head,
"Should we go out when it wants to eat our mainlands?"
Looking around them, millions of chips were piled together.
They thought Fate would arrive in a week, but it took months for it to arrive.
Until today, that finally, this Evil mainland arrived, and from their teacher's description, it looked 'angry' enough to be the 'Fate'.
But due to it being late, they had enough time to execute their secret plan completely.
They used the invisibility of the Crystal, Vaelgrim's seal, Selene's charm, and Seraphion's overwhelming power,
to kill every single higher being and manager secretly, extract their chips, and, as guardians, prevent them from resurrecting.
They thought of this plan so Xyron can't use the creatures with chips against Fate.
With such a favor, they could join Fate's team.
In the process of doing so,
Every universe or mainland that they won in their secret challenge gave them a boost in power.
But unlike Little Mortal, their law was only a small part of the law in each universe.
Little mortal's dark law was +90% of the law in each universe, and that's why every time he won a universe, he received a huge boost.
But for them, it wasn't like that.
Their law wasn't even 1% of the law in each universe.
Even so, +100 million universe wasn't a few.
And to be sure, when they won against all of the universes and mainlands,
Selene and Vaelgrim challenged Seraphion, and they lost to him.
At this moment, he was the only guardian with the full support of the whole exiled zone!
Seraphion never felt this powerful in his life.
He even had the thought to break the barrier Xyron was hiding in and kill everyone in there.
But because of his 'teacher', and his plan for Fate, he ignored the thought and just waited.
"I don't think we need to do anything for now.
All of the mainlands that the Evil Mainland is merging with are still part of the guardian territory...
It seems we are on the same side!"
Seraphion was puzzled.
He thought the guardian law might be separated in the exiled zone from the one on the vulture's side, which is why they could become the guardian.
But it turned out the law and territory were the same, and anyone could use it.
Neither of them knew that the guardian law existed due to the sacrifice of a certain higher being called the guardian god,
and not something that originated from the world law.
Vaelgrim frowned at this moment,
"What's that in your hand, Seraphion?"
Seraphion looked down in confusion.
Without his notice, a paper was placed on his left palm.
He read the sentence written on the paper first,
"Show yourself when there are no mainlands left.
Don't talk to anyone about this letter.
Sign: Teacher."
Selene chuckled,
"Seraphion, you didn't feel teacher's presence even now, did you?"
Seraphion shook his head while smiling bitterly...
"Teacher's prowess is indeed limitless.
Even with this overwhelming power that I feel now, I couldn't detect him..."
Vaelgrim said with interest,
"Remember to pass it to us later, so we can experience it."
Seraphion nodded,
"Sure."
And the tiny mortal nodded too.
The three disciples didn't know that they just dodged a beating,
because a certain tiny mortal, in the dark, was now nodding in approval because they were obedient and listening to his command.
This way, they didn't need to receive his 'teaching'.
Now, the three ancient ones, the last pieces of Tiny Mortal's plan, were in place!
