Chapter 1212: The Divine Tower of Ashes
Although it had clearly been a malicious scheme targeting a Rank Four being, after several heated discussions between Sein and the Rank Four centaur god, the matter was conveniently reframed as a case of “oversight” and “misunderstanding”.
It was not that the world was dark—this was just how reality worked.
Besides, Hephaes had not actually died because his allies turned a blind eye to his plight, nor had he been slain in some desperate counterattack by extraplanar creatures.
He had died by his own hand.
Drunk on arrogance and sudden wealth, his end was neither tragic nor worth pitying.
The centaur god sent to handle this matter was named Hecam.
He had long, pure white hair, as well as strength and presence that far outclassed those of the late Hephaes.
Sein saw potential in him.
Hecam had quickly realized that neither Sein nor Lorianne was truly fixated on the inconsistencies surrounding Hephaes’s death.
He probably knew exactly what they were after, which was why fighting would benefit no one.
As for the reorganization of the Maya Tribe and the disposition of Hephaes’ remaining assets, those responsibilities were naturally left to the incompetent fools who had mishandled them in the first place.
Hecam had no interest in shouldering their mess.
