Gralith sat in silence. Sylas' words were simple, but they involved layers of scheming he couldn't quite see through.
Would they not expect it? Sure. But that sort of logic only worked when there was a sort of equivalent power between two parties.
Did it matter how well a child took an adult off guard? So long as there was the slightest chance to react, the child didn't stand a single chance.
Even if Sylas appeared out of nowhere in the Emperor Sanctum, what would that change? They had individuals infinitely close to the S-tier, existences who were unfathomable even to Gralith, who was in the B-tier-let alone Sylas, who had only just breached the E-tier.
What Sylas said second, though... that the Emperor Sanctum had plans to get out of their current situation... now that, that intrigued Gralith the most.
What did Sylas think they were going to do? And what about it made him willing to take such a risk?
And yet, it was the last thing Sylas said that left Gralith in thought for the longest period of time.
They couldn't touch him?
Why did he think that?
'Karma.'
It was the one word Gralith could think of as an answer, but things weren't so simple.
Karma was a very finicky thing. On the one hand, it was more fair and balanced than the system was. After all, for certain Karma-related things, the system could be extremely unfair.
Primus Imperium was the best example of this. The requirements for achieving it were high, but maintaining it was even more unfair.
Primus Imperium was the best example of this. The requirements for achieving it were high, but maintaining it was even more unfair.
Even the appearance of a loss was enough for Primus Imperium to be snatched from you. Even if you managed to be born in a weak Sector as a great talent, every step outside this Sector you took would come with untold amounts of danger.
It was like one was forced to remain where they were lest they lose it.
However, Karma, when functioning separately from the system, tended to flow better. Unfortunately, there was no such thing as perfect fairness in the world, and in many ways, Karma could be even more unfair than the system itself even when the system was only loosely involved.
For example, no matter how unfair the system was, it would never take Primus Imperium from Sylas for losing to an A-tier.
However, to Karma, Sylas was the Ancestor of the Monkey King Lineage. As such, if he fought and lost to another Ancestor, they would be considered equals, and Karma would react as such.
That was why what Sylas was saying didn't make any sense to Gralith.
In truth, Gralith didn't even know that Sylas was the Monkey King right now. He hadn't been there personally when things happened. All he knew was that Sylas had somehow raised the station of the Emperor Sanctum to Demi- Godhood, and that had directly impacted his own levels as well.
Because Gralith had also regained his Spirit Beasts thanks to Sylas, his power right now was impossibly far beyond what it had once been for more reasons than just his new B-tier status.
But this aside, even without knowing this detail, Gralith still felt like Sylas going was insane.
"You trust the Weaver Guild so much?" Gralith finally spoke.
