Almost instantly, Alger The Hanged Man realized that Mr. Fool was different from before.

In the past, although Mr. Fool was both lofty and profound, making it impossible to fathom Him and giving off a feeling of looking down on everything from above, it was limited to that. Now, even when He did nothing, He seemed to have merged perfectly with the entire space, distinctly occupying the highest position and manifesting as the ruler of this place.

Sweeping his gaze, Alger saw the third Blasphemy Card and became even more certain of his guess: Indeed, Mr. Fool had cooperated with , the Angel of Imagination, to scheme the matter of . One of them had obtained "0-08," taking a further step toward godhood, while the other had seized numerous benefits, including the Blasphemy Card, and recovered most of his power!

The era had changed because of this! At this moment, Alger The Hanged Man gained a deeper understanding of what Mr. Fool had just said.

The other members of the had undoubtedly noticed him turning his head and saw that his gaze was fixed on Mr. Fool.

After a brief moment of astonishment, they, whether quickly or slowly, came to a certain realization: Adam, Angel of Imagination, had been scheming against Ince Zangwill, and Mr. Fool had known about it from the very beginning, sending his Blessed to cooperate, and even directly providing some help!

If it weren't so, how could an event involving an Angel King and a Grade 0 have allowed a newly advanced demigod to participate?

If it weren't so, how could The World Gehrman Sparrow, even if he had gotten involved through various coincidences, have known so much detail!

The acquisition of the Blasphemy Card, the advancement of The World, the death of Ince Zangwill, and the fulfillment of Adam the Angel of Imagination's goal all happened simultaneously within this week... This means their connections are inseparable... My previous intuition was right. The attainment of the new Blasphemy Card and the abnormality in The World's mental state were different results of the same incident... Justice Audrey nodded slightly, verifying her guess.

The Star Leonard, on the other hand, increasingly felt that the matter of Ince Zangwill was more complicated than he had imagined. He believed that besides the Angel King Adam, there must have been another figure of the same level present. Otherwise, the son of the and brother of wouldn't have needed to seek Mr. Fool's help. After all, no matter how strong and terrifying "0-08" was, it couldn't compare to the "Blasphemer" in Old Man 's descriptions, and the gap between Adam and Amon shouldn't be that great.

"That evil spirit Klein sent to the underworld wasn't simple either. He can't be just described as being from the Hunter pathway... Hmm, Klein's involvement in the Ince Zangwill matter wasn't just for revenge, but also on Mr. Fool's orders..." As Leonard sighed, he didn't feel bad about it. Instead, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In his view, this was perfectly normal. When Mr. Fool agreed to hold such a gathering, establish the corresponding organization, and preside over it personally as a deity, He absolutely didn't do it just to make things livelier or out of pure benevolence. He must have had his own goals and needs, hoping to accomplish them through Blessed like Klein and members like himself.

Therefore, taking revenge on Ince Zangwill and accepting Mr. Fool's task were not contradictory. The latter did not diminish the significance of the former.

As for why he breathed a sigh of relief, it was because Leonard believed that Mr. Fool clearly showing his purpose was better than everything being chaotic and unknown, so he no longer had to guess and wait full of fear.

— Initially, he had been highly vigilant towards Pallez Zoroast precisely because it was difficult to determine his true purpose.

At this moment, The Fool Klein remained silent, neither confirming nor denying the guesses and judgments of the members in their minds. He manipulated The World Gehrman Sparrow, making him continue: "Adam has likely established a very secret organization, quietly guiding the development of the era.

"Many unimaginable great figures are members of this organization. They have schemed one incident after another.

"Also, after you leave here, do not say or write Adam's name, including His title, and try not to think too much about related matters. This is because He possesses the characteristic of 'Those who speak will be known.' The more you know about Him, the more likely He is to know about you. This is similar to '0-08'."

After hearing The World's description, Justice Audrey immediately recalled the secret organization she had once learned about from Mr. Fool: The !

This quickly led her to a corresponding guess: The Angel King Adam was the leader of the Twilight Hermit Order!

The Angel of Imagination belonged to the Spectator pathway, and "0-08" should be too. Thus, "Those who speak will be known" was a high-level Beyonder power of this pathway, and "the more you are known, the more likely you are to know the other" was also true!

How formidable... But wouldn't that be too noisy? Audrey felt both admiration and longing, as well as worry and doubt.

"Those who speak will be known"... So the organization behind the assassination of Duke Negan and Zilings was founded by the Angel King Adam... Alger The Hanged Man first felt a moment of clarity, but then his expression slightly darkened.

He began to suspect that the primitive island they had explored earlier was related to this secret organization. Because Zilings had delved deep into it and discovered many things, and moreover, the island's disappearance strongly resembled the ability of the "Dream Dragon" described by The Sun.

Combining these two points, Alger couldn't help but make such a guess, and further think that Mr. Fool's cooperation with Adam the Angel of Imagination had started from the moment he and Gehrman Sparrow entered that primitive island!
