Sylas walked out of the City Lord Mansion almost aimlessly, his mind spinning with a continuous series of thoughts.
The Angels had always been such an anomaly to him, not because of their mystery itself or where they came from or what they represented, but instead because he didn't quite understand their connection with the Thryskai.
Logically, the Thryskai should be Angels. Their Demi-Gods had the patented wings that the Angel Race had put an entire lock on, a Gene Lock that supreceded even spacetime to stop other Races from forming them by coincidence.
The universe was so vast. The power one would need to do such a thing was unfathomable. So, obviously, anyone they could pass down this ability to would be equally as shocking.
It would either be because they were actually part of the Angel Race, powerful enough to be given an exemption, or powerful enough to ignore the rules entirely and do as they please one way or another.
However, if the Demi-God Thryskai were Angels, then what about their Mortal counterparts? They didn't have wings, so what were they, then?
Honestly, all of these were just little, minute inconsistencies that Sylas had picked up on. But none of them were a smoking gun that made him feel sure of anything.
Even when the Angels descended and seemed to be acting opposed to or differently from what he might expect from the Thryskai, he hadn't really thought much of it.
For example, the Milky Way already had the Thryskai. If the Thryskai were so tightly bound to the Angels, then why did the Angels need to have more representation here in the Celeste Clan?
One would think that if the Angels and the Thryskai were one in the same, then they would have just sent a member of them.
But the Angels somehow seemed to be a tier and cut above the Thryskai.
Then there was the final nail.
Sylas had thought long and hard about why it was the Thryskai were treating the Seeing Eye Guild the way they were. It seemed like they had known long ago that the Guild was an invading force, but they just left them be.
It didn't make sense for it to be because they feared backlash. After all, the God Thryskai Clans literally already had mortal versions of themselves here, and everyone knew the most powerful forces in the Skai Heaven's Mortal Realm were the Sona, Buri, and Purvon Clans.
The Seeing Eye Guild was firmly a tier beneath them in strength, on the same level as the Weaver Guild.
So if they knew, why not just send their Mortal Clans to do their bidding? It couldn't be that the Thryskai would be happy with another Heaven encroaching on theirs?
This was how Sylas had deduced that the Thryskai God Clans had to be dealing with something that occupied them so much they didn't have much attention to divert elsewhere, and that was how he also knew that the Sona, Buri, and Purvon Clans would almost certainly need his help in the upcoming war he had forced on them.
However, just because Sylas had deduced all of this, and even used it to pressure Riqo and Ziel, that didn't mean he had the full picture.
Ever since he clicked [Yes] on the tutorial that day, Sylas had practically been in a perpetual state of dealing with partial information for everything. He was just better at dealing with partial pictures than basically everyone else
was.
But Cassarae's simple words had blown something wide open for him.
What were the Thryskai after? Why would they go as far as to risk sending a Demi-God to the Mortal Plane to do something like pressuring a small like Golden Grove Guild?
Was that really just Rhykan acting on his own?
And yet, not only had Sylas not run into them a single time outside of Earth and the Milky Way, but it was like they weren't interested in trying to find a way to deal with him at all.
