Chapter 185 (1): Omnipotent, Like a God
“Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Obed Windsor, Vice Minister of Magic.”
Obed’s elven appearance was incredibly handsome. He had good looks, grace, and—judging by his surname—royal blood; moreover, he was a legendary mage and Vice Minister of Magic, second only to the Minister. He was in the top one percent in the world.
No wonder Dorrin would fall head over heels for him and hang on his every word. The face could attract even men, and anyone would fall for his pillow talk.
“Wayne, I’ve noticed you a long time ago. I didn’t expect you to be this lucky.” Obed smiled gracefully, his good looks making the expression extra alluring. “The first time I noticed you was the incident with the Geocentrism Sect. Planck was involved, defeating Marshall after his return from the Astral Plane...”
The first time Obed noticed Wayne was because of Marshall, later called the Lord of the Void. Neither legendary mage wanted to enter a Divine Realm, hoping to forge a different path independent of the existing faiths.
Birds of a feather... The vile ones attracted each other, and they had made a few deals before. It was very much in line with the Windsor tradition for the Vice Minister of Magic, who made it his job to suppress the churches, to have under-the-table dealings with a legendary mage of the Church of Nature.
Marshall’s bold venture into the Astral Plane was in large part thanks to Obed, who often encouraged him to give it a try.
“Brother, just finish this wine and charge forward. It’s fine even if you fail. I’ll be right behind you.”
So Marshall charged in and met a dead end, while Obed reaped the benefits.
“The second time I noticed you was when the Blood Tyrant of Hell descended on Dragon Heart Island, resulting in the projection of an ancient god’s will. You were there...”
“Planck also left Londan for a while to meet you on a cruise ship. He’s not some philanthropist who just gives things away for no reason. The old madman never does anything that won’t benefit him. I spent a long time looking into it, and only today did I confirm that his antique silver coin is in your hand.”
Obed slowly explained how he came to focus on Wayne, from only learning about his existence to seeing his value.
