Chapter 1339 Setting Up A Dead Man.
Chapter 1339 Setting Up A Dead Man.
The group of 10 battle sage monkeys looked at each other and communicated amongst themselves.
Jarkon stated. "I think our next course of action is clear. We have to find what lies on the other side of the aura. We might be able to find more clues about this situation and how Soverick is involved at all."
UED said after some thinking. "Do you think this disease is related to Soverick somehow? Soverick is cold but I don\'t think he is this bloodthirsty and cruel."
Jarkon thought back to how Soverick used to look at him. Soverick\'s eyes were always cold and he would gaze at everyone as if they were not there. Especially during the competition. He was always looking through people.
Jarkon had to suppress a shudder as the memory of Soverick\'s four cold eyes was evoked. He thought to himself, "I will not be surprised if Soverick did this. I can even bet on it."
Jarkon didn\'t know that he had spaced out. His eyes had glazed over so the others continued to argue without him.
"If Soverick was not capable of this then we wouldn\'t have been sent out to search for traces of him."
"But why would he do this? What is he to gain from it? Soverick is cold but smart. I doubt he would do anything just for the fun of it."
"What about the godhoods that were lost?"
"Are you saying Soverick, who is on the path of perfection, would kill billions of people just for the godhood of some weak gods? That\'s preposterous."
ALUINE interjected, "We can\'t confirm anything. We don\'t know for sure if the disease was caused by a demon or not. All we know is that the infected have Soverick\'s aura. Let\'s not jump to any conclusions until we find proof."
They didn\'t listen to him.
"Could it be that Soverick caused the disease or was Soverick a demon?"
ALUINE tried again to shut down the argument. "We don\'t know that."
"Why do the infected have his aura then?"
ALUINE had to repeat it, "We don\'t know that either."
"It could also be that someone is trying to implicate Soverick. Soverick\'s traces all over the plane look like a setup if you ask me."
ALUINE gave up so they continued unhindered.
"But who would try to set him up? Isn\'t Soverick supposed to be dead? Who sets up a dead man?"
"I don\'t know about that, but I do know that Soverick is not supposed to be in this plane at all. He is dead."
"Besides, it could be that someone wants to fool us or confuse us by setting Soverick up."
"Maybe that is true. After all, none of this makes any sense. There\'s not even a plausible motive for why Soverick would kill all these people. But if the disease or the demon is related to Soverick in any way, then I am afraid that the Virut plane is in trouble."
They discussed some more. Then Jarkon snapped out of his daze.
He said to them, "It is not our job to speculate. We will follow the trails and traces to find out the truth, not make assumptions. No one is guilty of a crime until there is damning evidence."
That made them stop arguing.
He informed the high priest. "We are leaving now for the ancient battlefield. We must get to the root of the cause of the disease."
The priest almost teared up as he asked, "But what about us and the evil Celestial Supreme?"
Jarkon assured him, "Don\'t worry. We will send for help to you. I am sure that warriors of justice will be sent here as soon as possible. No injustice will be allowed to continue under our gaze."
Jarkon was not lying about the help he promised. Help will be sent as soon as possible. What Jarkon didn\'t say was that all the gods of the plane would be killed by the help that he was calling for.
If they are going to remove the Celestial Supreme, then they might as well remove all the gods. It will be easy to do after getting rid of the strongest god.
They believe that every god is a wicked parasite that enslaves innocent people and takes advantage of them. So he is going to ask for more manpower in the message he will send.
He didn\'t say it because there was no need to kick the hornet\'s nest. Instead, he discussed with the other battle sage monkeys to hash out their next plans.
The battle sage monkeys decided to follow the traces of Soverick\'s aura in the ancient battlefield to see where the friends of Razor went. According to the information they have gotten, they are the only ones that have left the plane. That means they must have something closely related to the aura of Soverick they sensed.
The plane is a dead end for now so they hope to get more information from the ones who had inside information about the cause of the disaster. Maybe they will know what kind of demon caused the zombies and how they can find it.
The priest on the other hand doesn\'t understand why they are fixated on the disease. To him, the disease is just an excuse created by the Supreme Celestial to take over the plane.
So he asked In annoyance, "Why are you looking for the source of the disease? The disease is gone. It is no more. Meanwhile, the perpetrator of the disease is still around. You promised to help the plane if we told you about the disease but you\'re leaving."
One of the Battle sage monkeys replied. "You may not know this, but the disease or its source is still alive. Your Celestial Supreme lied. She didn\'t get rid of the disease. It is still alive and it left the plane."
The priest was shocked. He exclaimed, "What!!!"
----
A/N: I think we all know who set Soverick up. Some people are just too wicked. They can do anything including framing the dead. They have no respect for the dead whatsoever. Imagine just how black of a heart someone must possess for them to besmirch the partially good name of a dead man.
