I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 776 - 477: Enduring Torture_3

Noah fell silent for a while before slowly saying,

"It’s guidance... Someone is guiding me to attend the Prince’s banquet, and it seems you are in danger. I want to help."

He then detailed the events he had encountered, while Chen Lun listened silently, discovering one coincidental detail after another hidden in the other’s words.

Eventually, with a profound look in his eyes, Chen Lun used Peek Life to scan the surroundings of Noah, pushing aside the dense mists behind him to "see" scenes that others couldn’t possibly perceive...

Noah’s abrupt turn, falling off the trajectory of destiny!

Chen Lun recognized at a glance that this was definitely a trace "bent" by someone!

’Howard...’

He murmured the name indifferently in his heart.

At this moment, there was no doubt left to Chen Lun that the mastermind manipulating everything behind the scenes was this high being of destiny who had always entangled and manipulated his fate!

A flash of insight raced through his mind, linking all the recent events together—

Using Prince Dazlert’s birthday banquet as the stage, led by Princess Anna of the Solar Cross Society, Sister Olmido of the Moon Church, and Saintess Lutina of the Naturalist Sect, they were merely warm-up performers before the main event.

The purpose was to trigger the subsequent "climax" part, namely the internal strife between the Seven Gods Church and the Royal Family, which also involved issues of allegiance due to differing stances.

This magnificent performance that involved the top forces of the Empire, however, didn’t revolve around Lutina Castillo, who acted as a catalyst but rather the youth before him... Noah Silver Dragon.

He was not only the student of Saintess Lutina but also the young master of the Silver Dragon Trade Association... As a mother, the Silver Dragon Witch Blaze would never watch her son be executed, thus pushing the Constellation Sect also into the fray.

Noah, of course, had another, more crucial identity—his role as a piece on the chessboard... that of a circus executive! Jack Spett’s right-hand man!

’Due to the warning from Angel of Destiny Oscar Your Majesty, Howard dared not intervene directly in my destiny, but he could influence me through those closest to me... Mr. Bales’s death is the best example.’

Chen Lun’s thoughts raced swiftly.

’Howard does not need, nor could he possibly manage, to manipulate the destiny trajectories of so many high beings at once... But he only needs to slightly guide and amplify, pushing Noah, the catalyst chess piece, onto the stage, thereby escalating the conflict sharply, and drag the Generous Council I represent into it as well... In this way, a fierce struggle between the Royal Family and the Seven Gods Church will play out.’

He conjectured the coincidental outings of Speaker Azjiluo and Governing Officers like Kingsberg, along with Houston’s abrupt interference in the Royal City, leading to an unexpected hypothesis of his own:

’Is it possible... that Howard deliberately drew Houston to me to facilitate my promotion ceremony? Just by killing him, I would fulfill the requirement of changing the destiny of a high being, thus allowing me to transform into Mythical Sequence Four, at which time, I would also become the next key chess piece for Him?’

Realizing all this, he felt a chill down his spine.

What exactly does Howard want?

What does He really want to gain from me?

To arrange and propel all this, is it for the ascent to Sequence Two, Angel of Destiny? Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense what great benefits could justify such a heavy cost...
