Overlord Sunlight finished her investigation and made a report via Headquarters One's Formation Arrays. Then, she turned to Manny.
"The investigation has concluded," she transmitted to everyone. "You may return to your duties."
Relief washed over the group, but at the same time, a feeling of uncertainty rose. They were still part of Humanity, but their loyalties had slightly shifted. They believed in the group from the Supreme World, but they also believed in Humanity. The only thing the people hoped for was that their two loyalties wouldn't clash in the future.
Reluctantly, the group dispersed. Overlord Cloudhorn had given them his last orders, and they intended to follow them. The orders had been pretty simple.
Support the six Sages and fight for Humanity.
Almost everyone dispersed, leaving the six Sages, Overlord Sunlight, the group that had arrived with the investigation, and Senior Protector Blooddrought.
"Do you intend to remain here?" Overlord Sunlight asked Blooddrought.
"For now, yes," Blooddrought answered.
Overlord Sunlight looked at the investigation group. "You may return to your duties as well."
The group looked at Overlord Sunlight with worry. If they left, Overlord Sunlight would be helpless in front of Blooddrought. This entire thing still seemed a bit sketchy to them.
Yet, in the end, they followed Overlord Sunlight's orders and dispersed.
Now, only eight people were left.
"Do you wish to continue our conversation?" Manny asked Overlord Sunlight.
Overlord Sunlight looked at Manny. Overlord Riverly had told her that she had seen what Overlord Stygian had most likely believed in. Most likely, the Sage in front of her, Manny, was the reason.
"I am willing to listen to your words, but I can't promise anything," Overlord Sunlight transmitted. "My loyalties lie with Humanity, and I won't make any oaths that might compromise my loyalties."
"That's fine," Manny transmitted. "Depending on how you define your loyalty, it might not need to change. We are all fighting against the Demons, and we all want to repair Ayuvar. As long as your heart lies with Ayuvar's people, there will be no conflict."
A moment later, Manny and Overlord Sunlight entered a lengthy conversation.
In the end, Overlord Sunlight swore a couple of oaths. She was still free to talk about whatever she had learned, but she could only share the specific details with other members of the group. Yet, she was still allowed to share her honest opinions with outsiders. If she believed that the group was a danger, she could tell everyone.
After the oaths were sworn, Manny shared a rough summary of the things that had transpired today.
Finally, it became clear to her what Overlord Stygian had believed in, and she looked at Kyle.
A possibility!
A feasible plan!
They actually had a feasible plan to get rid of the Overseer!
Due to the locked Fragments of the Primordial Force Laws, nobody could comprehend them in full. At the same time, Level Six and Level Seven Law Wells were completely inaccessible to Humanity since these Law Wells were defended by unbeatable Ascendant Demons. This made it impossible for any Ascendant to fulfill the requirements to become an Immortal.
The absolute best-case scenario for Humanity was to somehow give an Ascendant the opportunity to comprehend three Level Six Laws. They wouldn't even know how they could do something like that, but that was why it was the absolute best-case scenario.
Even with three Level Six Laws, the chosen Ascendant would never manage to create a Level Eight Law. It was simply impossible. Yet, if they had access to a similarly domineering Imposing Law as Kyle, it would be possible. The strength of Kyle's Law of Hammer was the only reason this plan was possible.
However, they had to get there first. Kyle was still weak, and he needed opportunities and resources. Without Humanity's help, he wouldn't be able to achieve his full potential.
Overlord Sunlight decided to support the group, but she wouldn't do so if it posed a danger to Humanity. In the end, she decided to become Manny's representative. As a mere Lieutenant General, Manny didn't have enough authority, but with Overlord Sunlight representing him, things would become much easier.
