Seeing this, Angel and the Observer almost immediately judged, "The Mysterious Fruit is about to mature!"
Not only they had this insight, but others also discerned some clue.
"It seems like the situation is about to change," said Diescher, breaking the long-standing silence that had settled over them after watching one wizard after another die.
Even Rivetta, whose abilities were limited, could see that the Mysterious Fruit was undergoing Transmutation: "Is it changing for the better?"
"Whether it’s for the better or worse, I don’t know," Diescher paused, glancing slightly towards Angel and Polo Ye, and whispered, "Perhaps only ’they’ know..."
Diescher’s judgment was based on the current reality.
For so long, the hidden figures hadn’t made a move at all. Diescher’s analysis was that their hesitation actually meant the "time was not yet ripe."
Since the hidden figures believed it wasn’t time, it indicated they had some understanding of the Mysterious Fruit.
They must be waiting for a certain change, waiting for the moment when the "timing" is right.
And now, with a slight change in the state of the fruit, perhaps that’s the moment they’ve been waiting for.
"Do you have any thoughts, Lord Zhuguang?" Diescher turned to look at Chairman Zhuguang.
Chairman Zhuguang shook his head: "No thoughts, but regardless of the ultimate direction, as long as there’s a change, it’s ultimately good."
In his heart, Chairman Zhuguang leaned more towards "the worse," but he felt that even if it got worse, as long as it changed, it was a chance.
Before the Mysterious Fruit underwent Transmutation, it was a continuous stream of deaths, with no resistance at all.
Perhaps with the change in the Mysterious Fruit, the wizards present would have more chances to survive. Even if it turned worse, as long as there’s change, there’s a chance to find life amidst chaos.
Angel also heard Chairman Zhuguang and the others’ conversation. To those who were unaware of the truth, seeking life through change and survival amidst chaos seemed to be the only hope in the current tense situation.
But, the so-called survival amidst chaos here, the "chaos" is actually an orderly chaos. Only in this way can life be found within the pattern of order.
What they didn’t expect was that before the Mysterious Fruit matured, it was orderly. The "chaos" after the fruit matured would be true disorder.
At that time, even the Observer, even Polo Ye, and Gluz Deward wouldn’t have absolute confidence in surviving.
Everything depended on what effects would occur once the Mysterious Fruit lost its order.
Everyone was waiting for the moment when the Mysterious Fruit underwent Transmutation; however, what they didn’t expect was that the Mysterious Fruit was on the verge of "change" but never took that further step.
"Just missing that final kick, shoo loo~"
A soft and tender voice came from afar.
Only to see Polo Ye’s form emerging from hiding, immediately drawing the attention of Chairman Zhuguang and the others. They had always assumed that the big shot with the pink tentacle was a massive creature, but when it finally appeared, it turned out to be a pink octopus, cute and doll-like with a voice like a baby.
Seeing Polo Ye’s appearance, Rivetta even had a small red love heart in her eyes... This was her favorite style.
"Do not belittle, do not stare directly, maintain respect, and maintain awe," Chairman Zhuguang hurriedly whispered.
Rivetta quickly realized and lowered her head. Polo Ye wasn’t some doll, but a big shot capable of easily dragging the Cloud Whale and smashing it against the Mysterious Fruit— a terrifying existence.
Polo Ye didn’t mind Chairman Zhuguang and the others’ hushed conversation, it didn’t even focus its attention on them.
It merely stared intently at the Observer’s location.
"Observer, you don’t want to wait forever, right? Why not let me save you some time, shoo loo shoo loo~"
The Observer’s voice drifted out from the twisted domain, not only reaching Polo Ye’s ears but also the ears of everyone present: "I warned you, don’t overstep bounds in the Southern Domain. Whatever you want, you can take, but once you cross the line, you will naturally suffer the consequences."
"If you really want to speed things up, don’t you have a bargaining chip in hand? Didn’t you come to the Southern Domain to capture him?"
The Observer’s words to Polo Ye revealed to everyone that there was more than one hidden big shot present.
Moreover, from the Observer’s tone, it seemed he was trying to protect the lives of other wizards, while Polo Ye, who came from the "Outer Domain," clearly didn’t share the same agenda as those present.
This judgment made Rivetta involuntarily cast a look of joy towards Angel and the others’ location.
The existence named "Observer," could it become a breakthrough for the other wizards present?
The answer is... no.
Even though the Observer stopped Polo Ye from killing to fill the "final kick," as an Observer, he had no reason to assist those present.
If he really wanted to help, he wouldn’t have stood by and watched so many wizards die.
Polo Ye: "Shoo loo~ I didn’t expect you to remember him~"
The Observer sneered softly, without responding.
Polo Ye extended two tentacles, making a gesture of "helplessness": "Alright, I was planning on bringing him back to Phantom Spirit City, handing him over to Lord of the City for punishment. Alas, shoo loo, but now that things are so deadlocked, and you won’t let me kill anyone, I’ll use him as the last brick before the fortress is built."
Polo Ye spoke pitifully, but in reality, it didn’t care about 01’s life or death at all.
The reason it captured 01 was originally to test the Mysterious Fruit. However, its plan was to use 01 to test the disorderly Mysterious Fruit, but now since it still lacks a bit, using 01 to fill the gap isn’t impossible.
After speaking, Polo Ye pulled out the bound 01 from the shadows.
Seeing himself about to be thrown out, 01 quickly said, "Wait, I still have value!"
Polo Ye: "Value? What value?"
01: "I, I...I can provide intelligence on the Lacey Association."
Polo Ye chuckled: "Shoo loo, the Lacey Association? Just that?"
The Lacey Association is indeed a secret organization, but compared to the Phantom Spirit City, it’s far inferior. A giant looking at the sky would hardly care about a dwarf at its feet.
Seeing that Polo Ye seemed ready to toss him out again, 01 hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!"
"What do you want to say now?"
01’s eyes rolled, sweat forming on his forehead, but he couldn’t think of a reasonable excuse. Just as 01 was about to despair, he suddenly looked into the distance.
"Sir, look over there, over there, a wizard can’t hold on any longer, at most one minute!"
