Chapter 379: Antithesis Society
Wang Lun stared at Dasha for a long moment, his eyes searching for any sign of deceit. But Dasha’s mask remained unreadable. His soul remained unreadable. Finally, Wang Lun walked, sword scratching the ground.
"So it is," the Sect leader said. "I understand you now, messenger. The Inner Circle are pushing for this, for greater influence in the Underground. You recommended for the Pure Water Sect to be that influence. It is why you helped. How awfully complicated."
Dasha made a guess. A judgement based on the little he knew about this Antithesis Society and their Inner Circle. "You distanced yourself from us for that reason, did you not?"
"These politics bore me, as do you and your desires." Wang Lun stopped before he got too far. "Regardless, for the sake of my agreement with the Inner Circle, I will send my people to you. Take control of whatever you desire here. You work for the Liberator and you will have to report to the Morning Star as well. Be careful in how you inform him, messenger."
The Society. The ones that wished to topple the hierarchy of the gods.
The Morning Star.
Lucifer the Morning Star.
Throughout the history books, there were anomalies. Strange events that warranted too much circumstance and coincidence. Events that seemed predicated rather than spontaneous. The attack of the great Yamato-no-Orochi, the Great Fire of Heaven, the drastic changes in the time axis, and the very existence of the Underground. All were unexplained phenomena.
Something had to be behind it. People, an organization, group of godies and anti-gods, a society. That was the sole explanation for the unknowns in history of the White Abyss.
Dasha did not wish to ask the Whispers because, from his understanding, Jack the Ripper was already apart of this Society. If he asked, that would signal to the others that he did not know. Meaning, he was not in fact the Ripper. That was something he could not let happen. No, not when he was this deep.
Dasha had faked his way into the Whispers. He could most certainly do the same with this Society of history’s greatest rebels: Lucifer, Loki, Kon, Jack, Wang Lun, and the Liberator whom he supposedly worked for. Their might was impossible to fathom. However, their minds were not.
