Chapter 339
"Finally done."
After Makarov and Oger voluntarily stepped forward, Lin Cheng, who had been controlling Aizen through the system, was finally able to set his mind at ease.
The Fapingyi Society has now suffered heavy damage and no longer has any puppets capable of checking it, but even so, there is still a sliver of exploitable value.
The reason Lin Cheng painstakingly tricked them through Aizen was precisely so that, through their mouths, this news could be spread outward.
Relying only on the spread of information and puppets would make it very hard to make the people of this world believe it.
After all, regarding puppets as invaders from another world, people have always maintained panic and fear, and would never believe what the puppets say.
Lin Cheng could only borrow the mouths of Makarov and others.
Because only when the councilors of the upper echelon believe it can they drive the lower echelon, thereby making people truly believe that another world is about to descend.
Only when they act can more people be spurred on, and at the same time all those fellows hiding in the darkness be lured out.
Only when more people take part in this script will Lin Cheng's scheme have sufficient meaning.
Thus, under Lin Cheng's guidance, upon knowing another world was about to overlap, as people living in the main world they could not avoid it, so Makarov, Oger, and the others would take the initiative to ask.
And this would step right into the trap Lin Cheng had set, to be used by him; what still needed to be done now was to lead them on a bit more, make them more proactive, and thereby more certain that another world would overlap.
Of course, Makarov and Oger were not fools either.
Especially Oger; back when he was still a councilor, he could directly perceive Black Hu Zi's treacherous intentions—his mind was exceptionally meticulous, unlike ordinary people.
Moreover, now serving as President of the Fapingyi Society, he had not yet reached the point where he would believe whatever Aizen said.
Therefore, even though Aizen had already stated his request earlier, at this moment he still posed another inquiry to Aizen.
This inquiry appeared to be seeking Aizen's opinion and suggestion, but in reality it was a test.
If Aizen directly raised any suspicious demand, then the trust previously built would all collapse, and along with it the 'omniscient and omnipotent great will' would also be called into question.
However, such a simple and obvious intent naturally could not escape Lin Cheng's perception.
So then…
"No, it's still the same as before, you don't need to do anything."
Aizen seemed not to have caught the overtones in Oger's words, and merely said with an expression that appeared to be considering the Fapingyi Society and Ishugar.
"Preventing the fragments of the 'Great Will' from falling into others' hands is the duty of us Shinigami."
"Although we have now determined the time and place of another world's descent."
"However, the other world about to merge is still unknown, nor do we know whether there are humans on the world about to overlap, nor what kind of powerful experts might appear."
"With so many uncertain factors in existence, what we now need from you is to quickly evacuate the people living in that area, to prevent unnecessary casualties."
After hearing these words, a subtle gleam flashed in the eyes of Makarov and Oger.
What Aizen said on this occasion could be entirely for their consideration, and combined with that solemn face, no flaw could be found.
Seeing this, Makarov and Oger also slightly set their minds at ease; in their eyes looking at Aizen there was no longer any misgiving, only trust remained.
"Mr. Aizen, you jest; another world is about to overlap with Ishugar, and as people living on this land we of course must also ensure this land does not suffer invasion."
Makarov and Oger looked at Aizen.
