Chapter 536: The plan ahead
After hearing everything from Lilith—the betrayals, the orchestrated uprising in the devil domain, the truth about Aamon and his schemes—I couldn’t hold myself back anymore.
I wanted to burst straight into the devil’s domain and beat Aamon to death with my bare hands.
That bastard didn’t just ruin Lilith’s life. He brought chaos to both devils and humans. He was the mastermind behind the failed assassination of the saintess. I should’ve known he was too sharp for a simple underling.
From that alone, I understood one thing: Aamon wasn’t just a brute. He was a cunning strategist. And if I walked in there blind with rage, it would only end one way—my death and the cunning strategist was the worst type of enemy they would hide behind the scenes pulling strings.
If I was going to help Lilith... I had to do it smart. And I had to do it alone or else everyone was going to be in danger helping a devil especially hiding her in human domain.
Eleanore had her hands full running Omega Outpost. She wasn’t just a patrol leader anymore—she was a symbol of order, balancing diplomacy, patrol missions, and now, keeping the peace in one of the most volatile borders in the human domain. Dragging her into a personal war wouldn’t just be wrong—it’d be selfish.
The plan was simple, at least on paper.
Devils had always been vulnerable to anything blessed by the gods. Whether it was a spell, an artifact, or even a weapon laced with divine energy, the pain it inflicted was tenfold compared to regular damage. That was the edge I needed.
Luckily, I had already foreseen this. Back before I entered the Tower of Obelisk, during the early development of my skill—Parallel Memory—I had seen it all written in the novel. One path led to a war. A brutal one between humans and devils. That alone had pushed me to make preparations ahead of time.
I had contacted Tech Genesis, my company, and ordered the Investigation Department to quietly collect any items blessed by the gods—legally or otherwise. Whether it was a noble auction, black market, or shady middleman didn’t matter. If it was a divine blessing and of high rarity, we bought it.
