Chapter 1957 Being Noticed <TOC> Chapter 1959 Forehead Blood of the Brain Whale

Unless they possess a prophecy-related Mysterious Object like the Mystery of Starlight, or employ the services of a legendary prophecy wizard, they truly can’t find him.
Angel doesn’t believe they possess a Mysterious Object like the Mystery of Starlight; if they did, why would they have sent someone to pinpoint Rosen’s location initially? Moreover, with the threat level of the Bud Cult, if they had acquired such a Mysterious Object, the Source World would have been in chaos long ago. A mad cult and a terrifying cult capable of seeing the future are two different levels of threat.
So, it’s impossible.
As for the legendary prophecy wizards, Angel isn’t worried. When he was crafting the Blood Night Sanctuary, due to being watched by the Time Thief, it gained a special effect: “Even the gaze of a legendary one will fail before you. A one-time effect.”
Therefore, even a legendary prophecy wizard would need to prophesy twice to find him.
Angel doesn’t believe, with his current standing, that the Bud would summon a legendary wizard to prophesy about him twice in succession.
The followers of the Bud probably aren’t focusing on him at the moment, at most holding a slight grudge. Under such circumstances, it’s unlikely they would exert all their efforts in a major confrontation.
In Angel’s view, the Optimal Solution now is to temporarily avoid the spotlight.
Frost has often said that the followers of the Bud are a group of madmen. They fear not death, believing that entering into the chaotic rhythm of the Bud will grant them sanctuary… but normal people, if they confront them and cannot instantly annihilate them, will see them one by one enter into the chaotic rhythm of the Bud before their eyes. A slight misstep, and you too might be dragged into the Bud.
The Bud represents an unsolvable chaos; its followers may blindly believe, but others cannot afford to.
Entering the rhythm of the Bud is almost a declaration of death.
So, when facing the fanatics of the Bud Cult, the best choice is to avoid contact as much as possible.
If you really get targeted, unless it’s a dire situation, it’s still best to evade.
Even Frost, a legendary figure and a Mysterious Hunter above all, says so; Angel, on the long wizard path, knows he is but a small fry and understands what he should do.
However, Angel thinks: he can temporarily avoid them, but what about the Savage Grottoes? In the future fragments seen by Totoro, the Bud believers even had conflicts with Sanders and were eventually driven away… Given the Bud Cult’s history of madness, perhaps retaliation is inevitable?
Angel shared his thoughts and concerns.
After listening, Rhine said, “We still don’t know the extent of the Bud Cult’s power, but if even Frost has reservations, they must not be underestimated. So, your choice to avoid conflict with the Bud Cult is wise.”
Rhine was initially worried that Angel, being young, might act impulsively, but now it seems he is more mature than Rhine had anticipated.
“As for conflicts with the Savage Grottoes, don’t worry. In my view, even if conflicts arise, there’s no need to fear; the Savage Grottoes have stood for thousands of years and have their own strength. Now, having learned of this from Totoro, we can prepare and respond more effectively.”
“Moreover, the Bud Cult’s activities in the Southern Region aren’t just a problem for the Savage Grottoes. The terror they’ve created in Sky Mechanical City has caught everyone’s attention. Soon, the entire Southern Wizarding World will unite against the Bud Cult, including the Extreme Sect. In such a scenario, the Bud believers will inevitably be driven out of the Southern Region.”
If it were just a demon cult, the Wizarding World might not unite, but the Bud Cult, which erodes the pillars of society, keeps benefits exclusive, and poses a constant threat of backlash, will become a common enemy for all.
Facing the converging mindset of the entire Southern Region, including the expulsion by the World Will, their fate was inevitably sealed.
“I understand now,” Angel acknowledged Rhine’s words at this moment. He just needed to slightly avoid it, and the upper echelons would handle the rest.
After receiving this news from Totoro, though it wasn’t good, Angel felt somewhat relieved.
Even if he was discovered by the Bud, he had already been aware, or else he wouldn’t have altered his appearance.
Now, by just slightly avoiding the Bud, his safety and freedom were not much affected.
…
“Besides this, there shouldn’t be any other prophecies, right?” After the matter of the Bud was temporarily concluded, Angel looked towards Totoro on the other side of the light screen again.
Totoro hesitated for a moment.
This hesitation read to everyone that perhaps Totoro had more prophecies. “I saw another scene, although it didn’t have Lord Pat in it, I feel it might be related to the Lord…”
After a while, having packed up the mini signal tower, Angel and the others walked through the long, dark corridor to the great doors of the ruins.
“This is the door,” said Tree Spirit, looking at the slightly weathered great door.
The interior of the door was cast from some type of metal-like magic material, with sporadic patterns beneath——these were the defensive and mechanism runes, but they weren’t activated. These were the original runes of the ruins, but later, to facilitate entry and exit, the runes on the door that activated the mechanisms were turned off.
“When the ruins were initially sealed, I attempted to reopen the door’s runes, but they failed to activate, likely due to damage, so I left it be… Could the answer truly lie here?”
Angel, while examining, said, “The reason Lord Tree Spirit couldn’t activate the door’s runes is that some are damaged and need repair.”
“However, not too many are broken, and I estimate it won’t take long to fix.”
Rhine nodded, “Then you work on the repairs, and see if the place Totoro mentioned is here. The rest of us will return to the Savage Grottoes for now.”
Although Rhine was eager to verify the truth of Totoro’s prophecy, he needed to discuss today’s Star Observations with other wizards. Particularly now, as the first ticket booth of Peach Heart Theater has descended next to Eternal Night Kingdom, they could act before other wizard groups respond.
Rhine and Tree Spirit left first, with Sanders being the last to depart, signaling Angel to visit the Wilderness of Dreams later.
Angel guessed Sanders’ intention, likely wanting to discuss the future opening of the Wilderness of Dreams.
As Angel remained alone in the dark corridor, his gaze returned to the door.
