As soon as Angel stepped into Windmill Town, a familiar fluctuation appeared beside him.
“Angel?” Sanders’ figure suddenly appeared beside Angel.
Sanders was, as always, dressed in a gentleman’s attire, meticulous in every detail but without a hat. His hair was combed neatly behind, exuding an aura of restraint.
Everything looked normal, almost lifelike… but it was just an “almost.” As a wizard skilled in illusion, Angel could easily discern that the Sanders beside him was merely an illusion.
His real body was probably still in the Puppet Hospital.
“Mentor,” Angel greeted respectfully, despite knowing it was just an apparition.
Sanders spoke, “You’ve come all the way from the ruins. Is there something wrong? Perhaps some changes in the Wilderness of Dreams?”
“No changes in the Wilderness of Dreams. I’m here regarding the matter of Popoca.”
“Popoca?” Sanders repeated the name, seemingly recalling something, “Is he about to die?”
Angel nodded, “If nothing unexpected happens, it will be today.”
“I understand,” Sanders replied.
As his voice faded, Sanders’ figure slowly blurred and then vanished. However, as soon as the illusion disappeared, a rustling sound emerged nearby. Sanders, in his formal attire, appeared not far away.
This time, however, it was not an illusion, but Sanders himself in person.
Sanders nodded at Angel and then removed the glove from his right hand with his left. He then extended his right hand towards the void.
With a slight movement of his fingers, strange glowing dust trickled down from his slender, fair fingertips.
At the same time, a sense of energy with a patterned aura emerged from Sanders’ palm. As the energy flowed out, it combined perfectly with the glowing dust. In an instant, a wonderful rhythm emanated from where the energy and dust met.
It was as if a magical chemical reaction had occurred. The previously calm space suddenly stirred with ripples. The fluctuations in the air also caused the surrounding wind elements to become turbulent.
Under the gusts of wind, the space before them emitted a ‘sizzling’ sound, as if a curtain in space had been torn open, revealing a rift.
The rift quickly widened enough for a person to pass through. Beyond the rift lay pitch darkness, reminiscent of a monstrous gaping maw filled with uncertainty.
“Planar passage,” Angel whispered, naming the rift before them.
“For safety’s sake, it’s best not to be near the Savage Grottoes when Popoca dies,” Sanders paused: “This planar passage leads to the Sin World.”
Sin World, though called a world, is not an independent one.
Perhaps many years ago, Sin World existed as a separate entity, but now, after planar fusion, it is merely an adjunct plane of the Southern Region’s Wizarding World.
Sin World, habitable for humans, is not fundamentally different from the Fairytale World. However, Sin World harbors a unique aspect: it is the stronghold of the Extreme Sect.
Sanders chose Sin World as Popoca’s burial site for this reason.
Favored by the World Will, the Extreme Sect’s Sin World naturally becomes a hub of the World Will’s activity.
If the Demon God seeks to investigate Popoca’s information from his life, the aura will naturally travel from the Abyss to the Wizarding World. And once the aura of the Demon God appears near the Sin World, it is highly likely to be perceived by the World Will.
Even if the World Will does not attack the Demon God, it will weaken the Demon God’s power, which is a common law of the pan-dimension. Just as humans going to the Abyss will also be shackled by the will of the Abyss Plane.
Thus, making the Sin World the resting place for Popoca can also protect their information from being detected by the Demon God to the greatest extent.
When Angel saw this passage to the Sin World, he also understood Sanders’ intentions.
He is now somewhat relieved, thankful that he came to find Sanders. His original idea was to casually find a place to send Popoca off for the last time. Now, it seems, it was too hasty.
“Let’s go,” Sanders said, stepping into the spatial rift first, with Angel immediately following.
The interplanar passage still exists in the void, but a targeted passage that can reach the destination has been opened in the endless void. Of course, the premise of this direction is that you have a spatial anchor for the destination. Without an anchor, it’s highly likely to be forever exiled in the interplanar passage, never seeing the light of day.
Above the interplanar passage, there is no sky; below, there is no ground. They can only float in the boundless void, rapidly moving towards a predetermined target.
During the journey, Angel did not speak, noticing that although Sanders was leading the way, he seemed to be thinking about something. To avoid disturbing Sanders’ thoughts, Angel maintained silence as well.
This silence lasted for about half an hour.
Sanders suddenly exhaled, seemingly talking to himself: “Alright.”
“Have we arrived at the Sin World?” Angel asked.
Sanders shook his head: “We are still a distance away from the Sin World; I was just performing the final verification of the formula for undertaking power.”
The formula for undertaking power! Angel thought of something: “Does Mentor mean that you have calculated whether you can undertake the construction of the energy system’s power?”
Sanders nodded: “You could say that.”
Angel’s eyes lit up: “Then what is the result?”
Sanders pondered: “The result is still hard to say, as there might be some unexpected occurrences. However, I have incorporated all conceivable unknown variables into the formula, and the final Deviation Value is around 2.”
“Of this deviation of 2, only about 0.5 is caused by unknown variables. The 1.5 deviation is from variables I have already considered, but with my current strength, I am still unable to undertake it.”
In other words, Sanders currently believes that his chances of successfully undertaking the power are around 80%.
Within the 20% probability of failure, 15% is what Sanders has already considered, but even so, it can’t be avoided.
Only 5% probability is the result error caused by unknown variables.
“That is to say, there is an 80% chance of success.” Angel: “That’s a very high success rate, I think it should be no problem.”
Sanders: “This is already the extreme value I can achieve. Even with more data for reference, it would only possibly bring that 5% of unknown variables under control.”
Angel: “After all, we don’t have that much data for reference. So considering the cost, I think it’s worth a try now.”
Sanders nodded: “After Popoca’s matter is over, we’ll go undertake the power.”
