The group remained silent for a while. They had already entertained the possibility that the Overseer just wanted to escape from this world, but as more time passed, this possibility seemed more like a certainty.
They just wanted to leave Ayuvar.
They couldn't be sure how all of this had happened. Had the Overseer become an Immortal before becoming an Overseer? Usually, beasts in Primary Worlds couldn't become Immortals since that would break the balance, but beasts also couldn't become Overseers.
Since the Overseer was the Overseer, the world had to view them as a human to some extent, but did it also allow them to become an Immortal? What if the Overseer was just a Peak Ascendant Demon? If so, how did all of this develop?
Did they become Immortal and kill the old Overseer? Did the old Overseer hand them the position voluntarily? Did they kill the Overseer while still being a Peak Ascendant Demon? Did they realize that they couldn't ascend and became an Overseer as a response, or did they accept the position first but realized later that they couldn't ascend?
As Kyle thought about the world after coming to this realization, a picture emerged.
"I think they're desperate," Kyle said. "They're fighting an impossible fight, but they're also not giving up."
"There has to be a way out. I've tried this, and it didn't work, but what if I tried this? Okay, that also didn't work, but what about this? What if I do this? One failure after another. They're getting more desperate, but they're still trying to find a solution. At least, that's what I think is going on," Kyle explained.
"But there is a way out," Star Genesis said. "The Overseer can allow Seekers from the Supreme World to enter. As long as they can enter, they can bring them out without any issues. It's not even that difficult. As long as they allow a human to become Immortal and as long as that human swears an oath to help them, they can get out."
"And then what?" Sebastian asked. "They're in the Supreme World, and the oath is fulfilled. Next thing you know, the former Overseer stands in front of a Lord, who is not bound by an oath. Look at it from their viewpoint. The Overseer has suppressed humanity for countless years, and now, they're supposed to hand their life to a human. Additionally, how are they supposed to know which request for entry is the correct one? It's not like you can customize the request. If the roles were reversed, would you hand your life to an unknown Lord Demon?"
Star Genesis sighed. "Of course not, but if there's really no other way, what else am I supposed to do?"
"What if there is a way?" Kyle asked.
"Is there one?" Star Genesis asked.
"I don't know, but what if it's possible? Would you hand your life to an unknown Lord Demon?" Kyle asked.
"I can't give a concrete answer without more context," Star Genesis said.
"But that's all the context you get," Kyle added. "That's all the context the Overseer has."
"What's the point of asking such a question?" Star Genesis asked with a bit of annoyance. "Yes, it's not easy to answer such a question. Yes, that's probably how the Overseer feels. Can we focus on something that actually contributes to the plan instead of philosophizing over hypotheticals? What about Death? Can Death get them out?"
Kyle glanced at Sebastian. He knew more about this than he did.
