Lord of Arcane

Chapter 3260 Will the Destroyer also have a change of heart?
As for what Hippocrates said about joining the Illuminati because he was moved by the Illuminati's plan for the rebirth of Elam, he believed it.

A grand goal can indeed attract many top talents or ambitious people to join. For example, on Earth, without any extraordinary powers, there are so many people who are willing to devote themselves to God.

From this we can see that the power of belief cannot be limited by the presence or absence of supernatural powers, nor can it be limited by the amount of power controlled by an individual.

It is entirely possible, and even inevitable, for a high-level wizard to believe in a certain idea or plan and become obsessed with it.

It's just that most other high-level wizards believe in their families, while Hippocrates believes in the Elan Rebirth Plan and related prospects created by the Illuminati.

Shado himself has his own beliefs, so he will not deny other people's persistence in their beliefs. However, it is still unclear how much truth or falsehood Hippocrates said.

But as long as the other party is willing to communicate and provide information, he is willing to listen. After all, it is better to have information than nothing, and it can always serve as a reference.

……

"When did you arrive in Everesca? What does the Illuminati plan to do in Everesca?" Shado continued to ask.

Hearing this question, Hippocrates was shocked. He knew that what was coming would eventually come. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "I arrived two days ago. As for what the Illuminati plans to do in Everesca -

"I think you have guessed that they want to launch an attack in Evereska to distract the attention of the Northern Alliance."

"Attack? What attack? Like the one in Elan?"

"I don't know what's going on in Elan, I only know that they are planning to destroy the Cloud Top Tower this time." Hippocrates spoke calmly about this building that is of great symbolic significance to Everesca.

"Destroy the Genting Tower?"

Even Shado was shocked by the Illuminati's bold plan. Genting Tower is not only the power center of Everesca, but also the largest transmission hub between Everesca and other countries.

It can be said that the place with the most stringent protection measures and the strongest protection in the entire Evereska is the Genting Tower. Even Kalish placed himself in the Genting Tower to prove his existence while also obtaining maximum protection.

But now, Hippocrates said that the original plan of the Illuminati was to destroy the Genting Tower. The difficulty of this task itself is no less than destroying the entire Everesca, and its significance also represents the irreconcilable relationship with Everesca.

Even because the alliance headquarters is in Evereska, this behavior can be seen as a provocation to the Northern Alliance. In fact, this is a provocation to the alliance!

"What means does the Illuminati have to destroy the tightly guarded Genting Tower?" Xia Duo continued to ask.

"War weapons, and they also prepared a high-level wizard who was willing to sacrifice himself to amplify the effect of the war spell. However, that guy should have died in order to send the apostle away."

What Hippocrates was talking about was the situation when a high-level wizard sacrificed himself to send another away when the floating city descended and attacked the secret base of the Illuminati.

Xia Duo also learned about it from the feedback of [Wide Area Perception]. Before, he didn't quite understand why the high-level wizard would sacrifice himself to send the other one away. Couldn't both of them completely liberate their saint incarnations to fight back?

When he heard Hippocrates talk about this again, he probably understood a little bit. The one who died emotionally was originally a victim. He just didn't know whether he was brainwashed and sacrificed voluntarily, or he was caught in a weak spot and had to sacrifice voluntarily.

In addition, Hippocrates mentioned the apostles, which also interested Shado, so he followed up with the other party's question and asked: "Who are the apostles? And why didn't you run or resist?"

"I don't know the true identity of the apostle. I only know that his code name is [Fides]. It was Fides who first contacted me and brought me into the Illuminati. This operation was called by him."

Speaking of Phedis, Hippocrates' face showed complicated emotions. On the one hand, he thanked him for his help in the past, but on the other hand, he hated him for concealing key information and bringing him into an extremely dangerous situation.

"Inside the Illuminati, those who are introduced by the apostles are called "disciples", which are actually subordinates. As his disciple, I was also asked to participate in the operation this time, but - I regret it!"

Hippocrates did not hesitate to speak out his true inner thoughts. He did regret not only participating in this operation, but also joining the Illuminati.

“Compared to the Northern Alliance, as Fidis’ disciple, I can learn a lot of secrets from him that outsiders cannot know, such as the Elan Rebirth Plan.

“According to Fidis’ description, this plan will overturn the timeline of the main plane, reshape the history of the main plane, and allow Elan in its heyday to truly appear in reality.

“And each of us who was chosen as a disciple was promised a place in the new world. After all, if history is reshaped, the basis of our own existence will not be inevitable. There is a high probability that creatures completely different from the current timeline will appear.

“It seems so wonderful, creating a new world and having your own place in it, but unfortunately it is a lie!

“In the past, I didn’t know much about the Illuminati’s time-related magic. Perhaps Fidis also believed that I would never be able to fully understand the essence of time-related magic, so he revealed to me a lot of details related to Elan’s rebirth plan.

"However, the Northern Alliance has obtained time-related magic and has also drawn elite forces from various countries to conduct research. Although it cannot catch up with the progress of the Illuminati in a short period of time, for me, combining the information from both sides is enough to determine many things.

“The new world position promised by the Illuminati is simply impossible to achieve, or at least very costly to achieve, requiring adjustments to multiple time-related rituals planned from the outset.

"And since I was only joining in mid-stream, the Illuminati could not—and indeed did not—adjust the details of the planned rituals specifically for me.

"So I regretted it. I couldn't give up a world that already had me for a new world that didn't have me."

The fact that there is no place in the new world does not just mean that there is no elf named "Hippocrates", but that all information related to "Hippocrates" will not appear in the new world.

In the real world, even if Hippocrates died immediately, his family and his influence would continue to exist, and even his soul would have the opportunity to go to Avandor.

So regret was almost inevitable, but for a while Hippocrates couldn't find a plan to escape. Originally, he wanted to destroy the Illuminati's actions to allow his family to continue.

He had made corresponding preparations before taking action, such as having some family members come to Evereska in advance in the name of tourism and business.

As long as he can stop the Illuminati from destroying the Genting Tower, Evereska will definitely accept his family.
