The look in his eyes made it clear that he knew I had figured it out.

And I hated it.

That smirking mouth, that gaze fixed on me—it was all unbearable.

I wanted to punch that damn smug face so badly,

but right now, I couldn't afford to waste my energy picking a fight with him.

"Even the Abyssal Pit… was part of my mother's plan?"

The sacred tree beneath Mount Hua.

And the Abyssal Pit—no, Kurung—that had been there.

Noya had called it a being of master-class significance.

But why had such a thing settled under the Mount Hua sacred tree in the first place?

‘And now you're telling me even that was at my mother’s request?’

According to Shin Noya, all of this was orchestrated by my mother.

Noya becoming a general.

Noya betraying them and disappearing with the sacred tree.

The resulting instability in Mangye.

And now, even the calamity caused by the disappearance of the Abyssal Pit—

All of it had been set in motion by my mother.

"…For what purpose?"

What was so important that it had to be done this way?

What was my mother's goal?

And why had Noya gone along with it?

I couldn't understand it, so I had to ask.

It wasn’t just about acknowledging that my mother had created this situation.

I needed to understand why.

"Who knows? I don’t fully understand your mother’s intentions either…"

He trailed off for a moment, pausing in thought before he continued.

And the second—"

Noya lifted a finger and pointed to the sky once more.
