From a certain standpoint, I really didn't want to care about such a mess. But thinking about it from a different angle, it didn't really matter whether I cared or not.
In terms of exploring life and souls, magical civilization wasn't necessarily behind modern technology. At the very least, due to the development of undead magic, things like organ transplants, human head transplants, and body parts that modern civilization viewed as difficult or taboo were no longer difficult. Stitched monsters were made from the body parts of dead bodies. Making the dead speak would seem like a miracle in modern technology, but in magical civilization, even a novice undead acolyte would be able to do it.
Moral theories that should have been restraints were meaningless in front of the power of a war-torn world. The result of having no taboos was that you would go too far.
Chimeras were made from the body parts of living humans and the organs of wild beasts. Flesh and blood puppets were one of the most common magic puppets. In the eyes of mages, it was never difficult to reconstruct and reconstruct these lifeforms, not to mention just changing a single organ.
Alright, the reason why I digressed so much is because I want to point out a fact that everyone has overlooked … I'm not the only Necromancer. Transforming, changing limbs, and so on, if you really want to do it, in this world, it's actually not difficult at all.
As for the difference between surgical transformations and magical transformations … As long as the technique was perfect and there were no side effects, it would be the same as being born beautiful and having plastic surgery. At any rate, it was just a psychological difference, and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference myself.
If I had to say, my System was being too polite. If it was me, I would've just given that man a birth control operation like how I would treat a pet that kept barking all night.
Cough — cough — I digressed. At any rate, I had already left the Northlands. As for Suana and Renée, they would naturally be in charge of their own futures. There were plenty of undead mages in the Northlands, and I wouldn't be needed.
And I had plenty of things to worry about.
"Cavendish?"
It would be quite easy for my soul connection to leak information, but I didn't hide my worries.
"… Yes, that's what I'm most worried about right now. Besides, he's searching for the deepest part of the Chaos Abyss, where Cynthia's physical body is. That's too unsettling."
The situation in the mortal plane was rather chaotic, but overall, it was still acceptable. Not only that, with the Hell Faction and the Order Faction's hard work, the situation was developing far better than it had been in the game's history. If they still couldn't overcome this crisis, then there was nothing more I could say … No, more accurately speaking, there was nothing I could do.
But there's one thing that I've been worried about from beginning to end.
Yes, it was Cavendish. Just what did he want to do? Just what did he do? What did he want?
Currently, he was at the peak of all living creatures. If he wanted power, beauties, and wealth, he only needed to reach out his hand. If he wanted to enjoy war and slaughter, he could directly enter the mortal plane.
In fact, if he suddenly turned over a new leaf and hoped to see world peace, with his strength and influence, his chances of success wouldn't be low.
Even if he wanted to conquer the world, I could understand. That brat was used to having a brain cramp. There was nothing he couldn't do.
And now, no matter if it was my spies in the Chaos Abyss or the information I exchanged with the Gods, I couldn't find any trace of Karwenz. A powerful Main God had disappeared from the entire multiverse together with several of his most trusted aides. And it had already been nearly four months since they disappeared.
The most terrifying thing was the unknown …
[This is the feeling of not being able to find anyone when the map is completely lit up. It's like when you have 200 units of Mantises and are ready to go out to crush the enemy, but you always feel like the enemy has prepared two battalions of aircraft carriers the moment you step out.]
"Those who don't play RTS probably won't understand this, but it does feel good …"
It wasn't scary to have a powerful enemy. What was scary was not knowing what they wanted to do or what they had already done … To be honest, with how much information was kept secret, I estimated that not a single one of Cavendish's subordinates knew what their master intended to do.
Currently, the only two things he had done were "search for the deepest part of the Chaos Abyss" and "make the Holy War proceed as planned." It would be quite difficult to guess his true goal from these two. It wasn't that I didn't have any guesses, it was that there were far too many guesses, and it was impossible to determine which one was true.
"… Stop scaring yourself. If even half of your guesses were true, this world would have been destroyed long ago. Since we're still alive and well, that means that he isn't that crazy."
I nodded and didn't say anything else. However, the anxiety in my heart refused to fade.
While the forbidden spell was weak, I had sent out countless spies and spies to exchange information with the Gods I was close to. However, I had never been able to obtain any useful information.
Now that I had some free time, and I had also gathered all the Myth-ranked materials, I only needed some time to level up. I had regained my freedom, but I was no longer able to patiently wait for news. Since I couldn't obtain any information, I had to find it myself!
"… By the way, where should we start searching?"
Harloys' words were quite simple, but also quite practical. This would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. I really didn't know where to start.
My spies in the Chaos Abyss were unable to find Harloys, and the fairies' omnipresent information network was also unable to find Harloys. It would be completely meaningless to search anywhere.
"… Let's go find your father first. Perhaps he'll have some information. Or should we go to the south to find that mirror? "
I could only take things one step at a time. First, I would break through to SemiGod rank. I had enemies all over the world, and it would be hilarious if I didn't die for no reason.
"Right, could he be in the mortal plane? Look at the Chaos Abyss. It's impossible to find him. It's possible that it's dark under the lamp … "
"That's possible, but it's unlikely. You know about the Star Net, right? The two Gods of the River Styx and the Chaos Abyss are currently monitoring the entire Star Net. They'll only know if someone enters the mortal plane. Yet, they said that they didn't see any reactions similar to what Cavendish did."
I shook my head. It was highly unlikely that Harloys was in the mortal plane. The water here wasn't deep enough yet. If a giant whale like Harloys entered the water, the entire water level would increase. It would be nearly impossible for him to hide.
"System? Do you have any suggestions? "
[I don't. Perhaps you can ask a divine fraud.]
I paused in surprise for a moment, but then became delighted. This was indeed a good idea. I was naturally immune to all detection abilities. Cavendish might not have such an ability.
[No, as a Main God, Harloys is also capable of hiding his own existence. What you need to ask is something like 'Where will I be even more unlucky?' or 'Where will Cavendish be even more unlucky if I go?' You don't have to be the target. Perhaps you'll be able to find some clues.]
Unlucky? I would be even more unlucky if I met Cavendish? Cavendish would be unlucky if he met me? From a certain standpoint, this was indeed true. Karma would also be the least costly. However, the creator of the natural laws was teaching me how to cheat, which made me feel rather awkward.
"… Why do I feel like you're taking pleasure in my misfortune?"
[I'm just imagining things.]
I shook my head and ignored her. "Prophecy?"
I actually knew quite a few divine frauds. But, if you wanted to know which divine frauds were the best and most abundant, going south to the Mage Country would be the best choice.
