“Is it someone else’s commission? Or perhaps it’s not you, but another hidden existence targeting me? Both are possible…”

At this thought, the Great Prince chuckled softly, “Ian… cunning little prophet. He says that observing the Fourth and Fifth Energy Levels will lead to backlash, but when he looks at me, it’s just a slight pain in his eyes, no bleeding at all. The only real backlash must have been when he looked at the Dragon King.”

“Perhaps he was too shocked by the sight of my death to remember to hide it… It’s normal, even I was a bit distracted by the fright, so you can’t really blame him. For his age, he’s already perfect.”

“This guy’s Spirit Energy is incredibly powerful, nearly approaching the Third Energy Level — after all, he’s been awakening his Spirit Energy since he was eight and is a prophet, so it’s not surprising. Thank goodness he’s a prophet, or else I might have been done here, and wouldn’t that just hand things over to my younger brother and sister for nothing?”

Gathering his thoughts, Carlos turned his head towards the direction of ‘Space-Time’ and ‘Earth’, falling into deep thought: “What exactly is Canaan Moore planning to do, to dare risk the hostility of two countries to take action against me? No, perhaps others are doing the same. I might have a chance later to ask Ian to take a look. If there’s an omen of death for everyone, that would confirm my suspicion… No wonder everyone loves prophets, this ability to conjure information from nothing is terrifying.”

But to speak plainly again.

“What kind of courage is Yafada filled with to be so bold?”

This is an unsolvable riddle, no matter how much Carlos racks his brains he cannot figure it out, there simply isn’t enough information to make sense of it.

So he stopped thinking about it and instead looked downward, at the Ashlight Family’s skyship which was slowly descending, shining with resplendent light.

The light cascaded down with the sunlight, focusing on the white-haired boy on the skyship’s deck: “Ian… a prophet with such grand dreams. A clever, cunning, adorable little fox.”

Carlos muttered to himself, “If I can’t bring him under my command, I must eliminate him immediately — that’s what ordinary people would think. Facing a prodigy that cannot be calculated or controlled, those rulers without any real power are bound to feel fear.”

“But we are different.”

As he spoke, he flashed a wildly audacious smile, “I want to push him.”

“I want to push him, see how far he can go, how far he can walk, can he break all past boundaries!”

“Ian.”

“Prophet.”

“The heir to Grandfather.”

“The one who founded the ‘New Doctrine.'”

“The one who aspires… to become a ‘God’.”

Grinning, Carlos Sertar whispered in the light, “Let me see if your strength matches your ambition!”

At the same time.

Ian and his group had already arrived at the exploration camp.

As soon as he stepped off the airship, the boy stretched lazily, letting out a big yawn.

“Huh?”

Noticing his close friend’s movement, Yisen Gard asked curiously, “Ian, haven’t you been resting well lately?”

“Wait, is it boredom?”

But Sio saw things more clearly; the young Dragon of the Illusionary Realm seemed to sense some disturbance within Ian’s heart and exclaimed, “Wow? What kind of person are you, to feel bored at a time like this when everyone else is excited? Are you some kind of monster!”

“No.”

To the red-haired Dragon Maiden’s amazement, Ian shook his head slightly, squinting his eyes as he lifted his head thoughtfully to the sky: “It’s that the lurking drowsiness inside me has been dispelled—all the suppressed boredom and weariness have been cleared.”

Having said that, the white-haired boy smiled and nodded towards the sky.

Then, Ian lowered his head, his gaze bright as he surveyed the street before him: “If you asked me earlier, I might indeed have felt a bit unmotivated.”

“But today, I’ve finally woken up.”
