Chapter 249
Looking at Murmur, Ikenga said, "You should think carefully about every action you take from now on. Will it benefit you in the long run?"
"There might be a chance that we make it back. By then, you will have amassed another origin god who will see you as an enemy," Ikenga said, staring at Murmur.
Murmur stayed silent before pointing at Ikenga. "Is that god you?"
Ikenga gave no answer, instead keeping his stare. There were a few moments of silence before Murmur spoke up. "While it may seem I have a hand in deciding which Abyss layer you find yourselves in, that is a misconception."
"Because of the nature through which you are going to the Abyss, the element of choice is gone. All you can hope for now is to land in a layer that hasn’t been conquered yet," Murmur said, looking at the two gods.
"Because of our relationship, it works best for me if you both land in a conquered layer. It gives me great satisfaction and a playground I can use to my advantage."
Ikenga’s eyes narrowed at Murmur, his displeasure evident. "So, you are hoping for our demise or, at the very least, our capture."
Murmur chuckled, his laughter barely restrained. "Not hoping, just anticipating. There is a difference. This scenario benefits me in ways you can’t begin to imagine."
Keles, having heard enough, interjected, her voice sharp and cold. "And what exactly do you gain from this, Murmur? Enlighten us."
