Chapter 266
Establishing a connection with Phantom, Ikenga began to relay his message. Phantom, in the midst of the demon assembly, felt a familiar tingle in his mind as Ikenga’s presence made contact. He subtly shifted away from the group, finding a quiet corner where he could focus on the connection without arousing suspicion.
Ikenga’s voice resonated in Phantom’s mind. "Phantom, we need you to rise within this group. Your influence is crucial for our plan. Subtly gather support and establish yourself as a leader. Be wary of the chosen Son of the Abyss. If there is any chance of contact with him, stay away. We suspect he can pinpoint us and will find us soon, but we need to be prepared."
Phantom’s eyes flickered with determination as he absorbed the instructions. "Understood, your grace. I will proceed with caution."
Ikenga continued, "We also need information on the two demon kings. Find out their strengths, weaknesses, and any potential allies or enemies. This knowledge will help us navigate the chaos and position ourselves advantageously."
Phantom nodded imperceptibly. "I will start immediately. Is there anything specific you want me to focus on first?"
Ikenga’s tone was thoughtful. "Focus on solidifying your place in the group first and understanding the dynamics within your group. Slowly begin to show your talent and rise in the ranks. Identify potential allies and threats. Once you have a stable footing, gather information about the demon kings."
With the message conveyed, Ikenga slowly withdrew from the connection, leaving Phantom to his task. He opened his eyes and met Keles’s gaze.
"It’s done. Phantom is aware of the plan and will start working on elevating his status and gathering information."
Keles looked at Ikenga before nodding. "I believe, brother, the Abyss is having an adverse effect on us. Mother did say we are endowed with these sins, but it hasn’t been as prominent as it has been since we landed in the Abyss."
