But it has been too long since the ancestor’s death.
No matter how powerful the soul, it cannot resist the erosion of time, "So, He is trying to recover all these missing parts."
As one of the fragment holders, he will remain here as the "recovered" fragment, waiting for the moment when all the pieces are gathered.
"You’re very close to the truth now."
Behemoth was somewhat surprised, "I finally understand why the master and His kind treat you with such importance."
The master rarely reveals His true intentions to anyone, not even to His kind, yet Ethan speculated the master’s thoughts after meeting Bazatous.
Rather than calling it intelligence...
Behemoth thought it more akin to an inherent intuition.
Ethan’s existence is special; he can always more easily touch the essence of this world.
"Theoretically speaking, you all can no longer return; the existence of the abyss and dungeon has its significance." Updates are released by novel·fiɾe·net
Since the topic has come to this, Behemoth doesn’t intend to conceal much.
For someone like Ethan who possesses keen intuition, deception is the most foolish act, "You can understand its existence as a passage, requiring numerous souls to maintain, and it’s leading to a place no one can find; so, as long as the passage itself is destroyed, you are effectively trapped here forever."
This was Sincaro’s initial plan, and as a butler, the main direction of his conversation was the idea that since they had arrived, they should find peace.
However, Ethan’s conversation between the dungeon and the echo changed Sincaro’s mind.
"If you insist on leaving, the master has also devised an additional trial for you—a true trial of wisdom."
Behemoth’s expression turned solemn.
As an individual, he does not agree with the content of the trial, but as a creation of Sincaro, he absolutely cannot defy the master’s orders, and their master has never been one to heed others’ opinions; once he makes a decision, he pursues it single-mindedly, regardless if it takes thousands or tens of thousands of years, he won’t change.
The risk of this trial is extremely high. If Ethan can truly pass it...
"Tell me the contents of the trial."
He did not hesitate for long.
"Creating rules and crafting creations, this is an authority above humans, belonging to the Divine Spirit, and even those betrayers cannot reach this domain."
Behemoth said, "All forbidden knowledge is written within these books."
His master had also taken the same risk but ultimately failed.
That human betrayer acquired enough knowledge from the library, but eventually used it to exile the one who had taught him.
From his perspective, Ethan’s "threat" was far above Kadela.
Behemoth knew very well what it meant once Ethan crossed that final threshold.
Even so, Sincaro still decided to do this, and there was a trace of imperceptible jealousy in Behemoth’s eyes, "You have three days left, which is the deadline for the passage to be completely closed. Within these three days, you can freely browse through every book here."
In fact, he had also investigated many interesting anecdotes.
For instance, Ethan was a peculiar person who always said, "I am not a god."
He rejects the feeling of being worshipped as a god.
But things do not always go as desired.
Only three days left, Mr. Ethan.
Behemoth silently recited in his heart.
—Can you become a god?
