Nobody is planning to save the Sphinx, but Sphinx exists in the future. It has to be because we rescued it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was happy until he noticed Neo's expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you frowning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn't good news. It's very bad news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh, how?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the future can be changed, obviously,\" Neo started to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about it. If saving the Sphinx was guaranteed, would Shadow Supreme choose it as a trial for us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, there is no guarantee we won't fail and someone else in the future won't get the same trial and save the Sphinx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hell, even the people here could save the Sphinx. I did say they might not save the Sphinx, but there is always a 'what if.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack's expression crumpled when he listened to Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly for him, Neo wasn't done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is why this trial is bad news. We can't be sure if we are guaranteed to save the Sphinx, and we have no choice but to do our best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because if it was us who were meant to save the Sphinx but we failed, thinking someone else would do it, then…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo left his words hanging in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack covered his face with both hands, sighing, and completed Neo's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we fail, the future will change. There is a chance that the Sphinx might never exist and instead there would be a Sovereign serving under Typhaon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was more to it, but Neo kept himself from explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Typhaon gained control over the Sphinx, there was a chance the Father of Anomalies could defeat the Awakener Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world would end if that happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Questline was named {End of the World}.

They greeted Emma and Athena when they saw them and resumed their activities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong? You expected something grander?\" Emma questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, it's perfectly fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he said otherwise, it was clear Jack expected a more grand location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was supposed to be the headquarters of Awakeners who would become gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the group entered the castle, Athena turned to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since we are here, I'll be leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a second,\" Neo called out to her. \"I have something to talk to you about in private. Can we meet later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Athena stared at him, scanning him with an indescribable gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My room is on the east side building, fourth room. The door has my name written beside it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack whistled when Athena left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Neo with a teasing grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo rolled his eyes and ignored Jack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where to now?\" Neo asked Emma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone should be coming any minute now… Ah, there she is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma turned to the ginger woman in a long black pencil skirt and a full-sleeved white crop top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is Hanna, Ares' secretary—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the one who will be guiding you two around the Association headquarters,\" Hanna said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on. Don't interrupt me when I'm introducing you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma pouted, only for Hanna to ignore her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice to meet you, I'm Hanna Mercer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Neo Hargraves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jack Hanma.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook hands with Jack and Kane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes glowed for a moment imperceptibly. Only Neo noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then shook hands with Neo, and her eyes glowed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo felt a foreign presence invading his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was barely perceptible, but he detected it—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kyaa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna let out a yelp and snatched her hand away from Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes trembled as she stared at Neo in shock and horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened!? You okay!?\" Emma stood behind Hanna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of answering her, Hanna was breathing heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She placed her hands on her knees to support herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma tried to help her stand when suddenly Hanna puked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone came a few seconds later and took Hanna to the medical care area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma turned to Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing. She just saw my memories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma flinched slightly when she realized Neo knew what Hanna had tried to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hanna can see only surface-level memories. Why is she so shocked from them?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze turned to Jack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness users had chaotic minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone used mind reading or something similar on them, there was a high chance their insanity would affect the caster of mind reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Hanna was a professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was easy to see her strong mental fortitude when she peeked into Jack's mind—who devoured half of Spain—and barely flinched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry for Hanna's actions. It's her job to look through people's backgrounds when they come to the association,\" Emma said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Hanna gone, the job of taking care of Neo, Kane, and Jack fell on Emma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to say something when a message arrived on her device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ares is in a Council meeting with Titans. He wants Neo to join the meeting. Though, before that, he has asked me to help you with the Anomaly #79 issue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma took them to a door towards the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened, and they walked down the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes of silent steps, they came out into a large corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Each door you see here is connected to a different place through Spatial manipulation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She guided them towards a particular door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fixer' was written in bold words over the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They entered the door and appeared inside a rustic shop filled with smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper, old and hunched, smoked a cigar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled when he saw Emma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nyx, it's been long since we met.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's Emma.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The name you've been given is Nyx.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop it, Richard. You know I hate playing gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma's brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her irritated made Richard, the shopkeeper, laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay, I won't do it again—for now,\" Richard chuckled. \"Why are you here, little lady?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These two are marked by Anomaly #79.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that's quite terrible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Richard jumped down from his chair, his height only reaching Neo's waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He circled Neo and Kane and examined them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long since they were marked?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their ninth month is almost complete.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Richard's brows jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded approvingly and went behind his desk, plunging his hand into the desk's drawer, then his entire upper half of his body into the drawer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out a broken sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade was chipped, and it was blue in color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This baby here is one of the seven fragments of Uranus' sword.
