Chapter 267: Omen

"Please give me the list, Teacher," Jessie responded calmly.

Nodding his head, Charles took out a scroll from his space ring, passed it to her, and then added.

"I want these materials before the end of this week. Also, don't let anyone know that you are the one who is buying these materials."

"No problem, Teacher. I can ask uncle Colton to help me arrange these things." Jessie said with a smile.

"Uncle Colton? You mean Baron Colton?" Charles stared at her in surprise.

'When did he become your uncle?'

Meanwhile, Jessie stuck her tongue out and nodded with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"Don't get too attached to those nobles, lass. They are showing care and love to you because of your spell. If not, they might kidnap you and sell you as a slave." Charles said in a cold tone, causing Jessie's expression to stiffen a little.

She soon returned to her calm self and spoke.

"I'm well aware, Teacher. They've done many crimes against kingdom citizens and are still colluding with demonic church members."

"Did you find any clue about the ring leader?" Charles asked.

"Yes. I heard them calling someone with the title 'Elder' multiple times. I tried to ask more about this person, but for some odd reason; they couldn't able to remember this person's appearance. Moreover, at least one of the noble's servants tried their best to say interrupt me all the time. I suspect that their memories are tampered with. But there is one unique thing about these nobles." She deliberated for a moment and spoke in a deep tone.

"All of these nobles are supporters of Vance Boneflare and belongs to the current Royal Faction!"

'Heh, she is improving.' He suddenly felt a strange fluctuation around her and widened his eyes.

"You entered the Inner World?"

"Yes, Teacher. It happened a few days ago." A proud expression appeared on Jessie's face.

'But she still can't interfere with others' fate like you, lad. Although she could hide the information from Divines and Fate Class Mystics, it would be impossible for her to hide anything from Edhen. She and her soul belong to this world. Whatever she is doing will be known by the Will of this World. As long as her action doesn't lead to large-scale destruction, she won't attract the World Will's attention. But once the World's Will finds out that she has an intention to harm the world, not even those almighty Gods could save her.'

'Our soul has some connection with the 'Will' of the World? But we are almighty beings in our Inner World, right?' A surprise flashed on Charles's face.

'Almighty beings, huh. I don't think so, lad. Yes, Time, Fate, Luck, and any other supernatural power have no control over our Inner World... But that doesn't mean we are omnipotent. Haa, do you know how our souls are created?' The Holm's Crown asked.

'World's Will? Or, the Mysterious World tree? Or the Eternal River of Life?' Charles furrowed his brows, causing Jessie to blink her eyes in confusion.

'A tough question. I suspect that this World's Will is more likely the suspect. Every soul that is born in this world is somehow linked to the World's Will. But you and I are exceptions. My soul is linked with Easica World, while your soul must be linked with your former world. That's why we are irregulars in this world. Still, it's all up to us whether we have the power to changes fates or even Destiny. As long as we didn't cross the limit, we won't be pursued by the World's Will. But if the Edhenlings want to break away from the 'Will' of this World, they must be powerful enough to fight against it.' The Holm's Crown responded.

'One must be a God-level Existence, right?' Charles's face turned grim.

'At least, the person must be a Demi-God level Existence (Rank-7). The reason the 'Divine' manages to fool your Book of Secrets is due to this reason. The Divine might have severed or stopped the World Will's link from interfering with the fake Elder's fate. When you and Destiny Lady used the divination method to find his location, you didn't find any odd about his fate and fell for Divine's trap. But using such a method should have attracted other Divines' attention... Something is fishy about this 'Divine'...'

'Fishy?' Charles narrowed his eyes.

'Yes, not only did this Divine manage to severe the World Will's link, but it also manages to fool the other lawful Gods. The real identity of this 'Divine' is not simple...' The Holm's Crown said in a severe tone.

On the other hand, Charles turned his attention towards the confused Jessie and asked.

"Do you meet anyone who had similar characteristics as Omen during these past few days?"

"Yes. I actually met quite a few people with similar characteristics during these past few days, Teacher. No, we even argued with two of them. Among those people, I highly suspect Potion Master Stephen, Casey, and Larry Foster has some relation with Omen."

'Potion Master Stephen... He is the one who put his potion during the auction incident and almost ambushed me... Casey... Even I suspect him as the true culprit... But who is this Larry Foster?' Puzzlement appeared on his face.

Jessie noticed his puzzled look, took out a portrait from her space ring, and gave it to him.

It was the image of a 60-years old man. His hair was long, tangled, and greasy. His eyes and long mixed-up whiskers were black, and he appeared pale as white.

'Larry Foster... I remember now. When I made the intimidation entrance, this guy showed up... He also responded arrogantly when I asked him why they failed to protect the late King...'

"Why are you suspecting him?" Charles asked.

"I did simple research and learned that he is the one who sent Samson Foster to the auction. Moreover, this man's face slightly resembles more like Omen's face. You can see the similarity yourself, Teacher."

Saying so, she took out Omen's portrait, opened it, and showed it to him.

The face of Omen's face was ageless, neither young nor old. His hair was dark as the shadow of twilight, and his eyes were grey.

'Hmm? Their facial structures are almost similar, and both look more like distant relatives.'

While Charles was looking at the portrait, Jessie took out another portrait from her space ring and opened it before showing it to him.

"This is the portrait of Potion Master Stephen Foster, Teacher. His face also appears a little bit similar to Larry and Omen. If we didn't look at these portraits deeply and compare the familiarities, we won't find any difference at all." Her voice contains a trace of nervousness.

"Are you saying these three are the same person? But Stephen and Larry are from the same family, though. It's quite normal." Charles's curiosity rose.

"I'm not done yet, Teacher. These three are not the only ones with similar facial appearances." Jessie suddenly stopped and took out another bunch of scrolls.

Some were servants' portraits, some were maids' portraits, and two noble women's portraits were among them!

"All of them are close aids of these nobles and these guys also look somewhat similar to one another... There are even two concubines among this group." She subconsciously trembled as she recalled something taboo and then continued.

"But all of them have similar personalities and similar appearances. They are quick to get angered and arrogant."

"What about their classes? They couldn't hide their class skills, right?" Charles posed another question.

"All of them are mortals," Jessie responded calmly.

"But Stephen, Larry, and Casey are Rank-4 Mystics, though." Charles suddenly stopped for a moment and soon squinted his eyes.

"Yes, Teacher. That's why I'm also confused. Even if one among them is the real Omen, how could no one notice that the other two suddenly turned into mortals? The possibility of them being mortal is almost none. Can this Omen split himself into three? Same like my split consciousness skill?" She tilted her head in confusion.

Meanwhile, Charles raised his hand, rubbed his chin, and said.

"There is only one possibility."

At that moment, Jessie also turned her face serious, nodded her head, and muttered.

"He must be a Rank-5 [Shadow Devil] Class... Yes, A Rank-4 [Phantom Devil] has skills like shadow possession, Devil's shadows, and Devil Form... He might have used the upgraded version of Shadow Possession skill on two people and takes over their bodies... Then, he might have used the upgraded Devil's Shadows skill and split himself into many similarly appearing humans."

"But why does Omen look similar to Stephen and Larry?" Charles raised his eyebrows and soon smiled as he thought of a possibility.

At that moment, Jessie also curled her lips upward and spoke with a smile.

"Omen might be a member of Foster Family!"
