Ohno.
He won't engage in deep cooperation with the Workshop District, just as he gave the Workshop District the secrets of the Forge instead of forming a partnership with them.
Moreover, he had already made preparations, especially since he was 80% certain when he made the choice, and he couldn't possibly place all his hopes on the workshop district.
So... if they add the remaining 20% of uncertainty in Ohno's plan, wouldn't that make it 100% certain?
hundred percent...
Sun He found the number somewhat unbelievable, but at this moment, it certainly showed signs of being 100% certain.
“Now that you’ve steered the situation to its current state, there’s no need to follow our original plan.” Lin Feng’s voice was calm and powerful, unlike the crazed Number 78, which made Sun He more convinced.
Has it been restored?
A fleeting thought crossed Sun He's mind, but it was quickly interrupted by Lin Feng's reminder.
“Think about it, although Ohno anticipated our appearance, he would never have imagined that we were involved with Aoki. He would definitely select some suitable people from among the participants in the Foundation and the Workshop District as moles.”
"Now that we've filled in some gaps, they'll be getting started soon."
"That will be the time for us to make our move."
“You’re right,” Sun He nodded in agreement.
Seeing Sun He nod, Lin Feng's face, which appeared from the clouds, flashed a sly smile, but he quickly continued to speak eloquently: "But that's not all. Looking at the big picture, how could the Foundation and the Workshop District not have other plans? The Foundation had the idea of seizing the Furnace, so they must have made preparations. And how could the Workshop District, which was watching us fight each other, not have any hidden tricks up its sleeve?"
Upon hearing this, Sun He's eyes immediately lit up.
"However, it's not hard to deduce that the Foundation's methods are nothing more than people, while the Workshop District's methods can only be things." Lin Feng emerged from the clouds, leaned slightly closer to Sun He, and spoke slowly and deliberately:
"If the workshop district dares to sit idly by and watch us fight, then they must have a way to ultimately control the key issues, which is undoubtedly aimed at the furnace!"
"If the Foundation knew about Ohno's plan, then it would definitely be prepared to take down Ohno, Mizutani, and Aoki together in the end."
"Once they've taken down these three, the remaining participants in the workshop area will be their next target. Only then can they seize control of the furnace!"
"What do you want to do?" Sun He was so engrossed in listening that he forgot he was the one who devised the next plan.
“In my opinion, we can’t give them too much time to think about this. It’s like when you suddenly let Aoki turn on the furnace. Once they realize what’s happening, we won’t be able to get involved anymore.” Lin Feng leaned closer and whispered, “If we’re going to be fast, then we need to be ruthless and decisive.”
Sun He nodded in agreement; that made sense.
but...
Seemingly noticing the other party's doubts, Lin Feng reminded them again: "First of all, let Si Zang and the others force Da Ye to take action. As long as Da Ye takes action, the Foundation will have a chance to take action. Once they all take action, the workshop area will not be idle."
"But what about Yin Sitian?" Sun He thought for a moment, but before he could finish asking, he had his answer: "They will follow us and make a move, so the workshop area will be even less likely to get close to the direction of Daye."
"That's right!" Lin Feng immediately clapped his hands. "That's right!"
yes?
ah?
These two words startled Sun He. Looking at Lin Feng's somewhat eccentric smile, he felt something was off, especially since it resembled the way Lin Feng always deliberately tripped him up.
But... this does indeed align with his thinking, and upon closer examination, there are no oversights.
"Ahem, let's do it this way."
To be honest, Sun He had nothing to say. Having witnessed so many powerful individuals and seen their extraordinary willpower, he felt no fear, but rather a sense of excitement.
“When… is it time to make a move!” Sun He’s gaze changed, and he immediately walked from the outer layer of the Overlord Impact Ship into the interior.
At this moment, Aoki was in the main control room of the Overlord Impact, watching all the fluctuations on the entire Earth. Whether it was the red earth generated by the impact and the demonic patterns that were moving rapidly within the red earth, or the subspace fluctuations that were constantly communicating with this world, they were all jumping wildly on the large screen in front of him.
"They've started."
Upon seeing Sun He return, Aoki's gaze first swept over the misty figure before finally looking at Sun He.
After saying that, the red earth on the screen adjusted to Ohno's current location.
A tall tower appeared on the red earth, and all the light converged at that moment, as if a deep hole of light, just like the black hole on the red earth, had been formed within the light.
"The Plasma Divine Light Tower was modified from Ohno's personal space. It cannot be completely destroyed before Ohno is killed."
As Aoki spoke, the Divine Light Tower on the screen was depicted with three layers of energy ripples of varying sizes. At first glance, they appeared to be just the spread of a halo, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that these three layers were completely different spacetime barriers. In particular, the middle layer showed that the flow of light was visibly slowed down countless times. For a moment, it seemed as if the light in this layer was being pulled and contracted by a force, like a heavy object.
"The light tower is interfering with the operation of the furnace. If this continues, the energy inside the furnace will gradually dissipate over three hours until it fails."
“It seems he understands the furnace better than we thought.” Sun He stared at the energy flow on the screen; Ohno’s Divine Light Tower didn’t look like it had been forcibly destroyed.
“It’s my student…no, someone he arranged, someone who’s been following me for a long time.” Aoki seemed about to explain, but quickly suppressed his emotions and instead asked, “What…are you planning?”
After asking the question, Aoki stopped everything and shifted his gaze from Sun He to Lin Feng's figure, his mind flashing to Yin Sitian's current location.
“It’s simple, drag Yin Sitian into our battle with Da Ye.” Sun He pointed to the Divine Light Tower on the screen: “They won’t sit idly by and watch us enter the furnace, especially… something that can make us stronger.”
“Let’s do it,” Aoki said decisively.
"Um."
Sun He echoed, and the people inside the Overlord Impact also came to his side at this moment, all focusing their attention on the divine light on the screen.
Foundation, workshop district, Yin Sitian, Ohno, Aoki... and Mizutani.
Now that the situation is settled, and all their plans are unfolding step by step, all they have left to do is figure out how to get Mizutani to obediently hand over the books he took from the divination sect.
That is... to shatter his desire at the last moment before the furnace succeeds, to give him a glimmer of hope, to make him willingly trade for the scriptures they want, and to make them Mizutani's only choice.
Now they have successfully entered the whole affair without arousing anyone's suspicion, and may even become the ultimate beneficiaries of the Crucible by getting close to any faction.
If they fail, they will only be able to keep hunting down Mizutani in the next mission world, and the next one after that.
Just after they all stepped out of the Overlord Impact, Lin Feng peeked out from a lingering shadow and carefully examined the slowly rotating red Earth on the screen.
"Brother He, do you think... there might be something else hidden in this valley?"
"Or perhaps, Aoki is still hiding some secret."
"Hey."
