“…” Hearing the Clown mask speak about the False Relic in mama Wyatt’s grimoire I was perturbed. Is she referring to ‘Soul Pupils’. What does she mean by she was one who placed the false relic in mama Wyatt’s grimoire? Wasn’t it mama Wyatt who placed it there using a forbidden technique? If she knew about the False Relic then why place it in mama Wyatt’s grimoire?

“Your mother using her dying breath performed the inheritance technique to let you inherit her origin card Aura sight. I let her perform the technique because it would be the best place to hide the false relic for eternity. But to think that my one deviation from the course would lead to such a butterfly effect. The person who was supposed to end his life in despair lived and inherited the power which brought the world to its knees.” Clown Mask spoke mysteriously. She seems to know that mama Wyatt has performed a forbidden technique for young Wyatt to inherit her origin card Aura sight.

‘Inheritance technique’ ‘Hide False Relic’ ‘Butterfly Effect’ ‘end his life in despair’ ‘Inherit Power’ each word from Clown Mask’s mouth hit near the deepest secrets of mine. She seemed to know a lot and that was unsettling for me. Even the fact that young Wyatt would kill himself. How does she know all this?

“Enough of this wordplay, clearly state what you want to say before I lose patience,” Anna ordered the Clown Mask. Though she did not understand what Clown Mask said earlier, seeing my face turn pale she should have guessed the obvious.

“Your Highness, earlier you asked what ability did my Tao Eye gain? Precognition, that’s the ability of my Tao Eye. This ability gives me foreknowledge about upcoming dangers… It would be a good ability if I could control it, which wasn’t possible as it is very willful.

But in the shock of seeing my parents getting killed by the Circle in front of my eyes, I gained full control of my Tao Eye from which I learned why what was happening to me was happening.

Knowing that the Circle will scoop out my Tao Eye anyway I touched the taboo of my Precognition ability. In exchange for being able to see my complete future, I sacrificed my Tao Eye.

Your Highness the future I saw was very bleak. The world we know as of right now had changed and humanity was enslaved by one man, the Founder of the Circle.” Clown Mask’s previous words kinda started to make sense to me. In exchange for her Tao Eye, she gained foreknowledge for the rest of her life. It is quite similar to living your entire life and regressing. But I don’t know If I could trust the words coming out of her mouth.

“You are saying you saw the future by sacrificing your eyes but how does it explain what you did? Especially the part about the world-changing, humanity being enslaved and you trying to save the world? Do you have any proof? Even though It is hard for me to believe you. I will listen to you and decide whether to trust you or not based on more context.” Anna seemed to have decided to hear the Clown Mask’s story. I guess she is willing to listen to her solely because she was the host of Tao Eye.

“There is no way to prove my words because the future I have seen is no longer in place. Because of my intervention, it has deviated a lot from its original path. For example,

1. The founder of the Circle should have used my Tao Eye as an ingredient to gain a third eye which allowed him to perceive 2 seconds into the future. But that is not possible since I sacrificed it to see my future.

2. The false relic that Wyatt has should be owned by the founder of the Circle. In the future I saw I kill the Wyatt couple and give the false relic to the founder, giving birth to his rise to enslave humanity. To avoid the future I foresaw, I did not give it to the founder instead hide it in your mother’s grimoire.

I thought the false relic will be hidden for eternity in your mother’s grimoire locked by the forbidden blood inheritance technique with you committing suicide but for some reason, you did not commit suicide and also contracted your mother’s grimoire with help of her blood inheritance technique. Since then the timeline hasn’t been the same as the one I saw.

On 22 March this year, the Sky Blossom city saw one of the worst disasters known to humankind, Dungeon Calamity seed. But it did not happen because of your intervention.

According to what I foresaw, Jk. Elliott’s entourage will try to steal the dungeon calamity seed for him under his sibling’s orders but in the process, they end up awakening the Calamity seed. The awakened Calamity seed ends up destroying half of the city before it is subdued by Jack Whiteburn, William Bright, and Mark Hunt.

Because of that disaster, the school tournament never happens. Not to mention you’re dead so the whole city is not trying to kill you. And obviously, silver milk powder is never discovered.

Except for these 2 times I tried my best to not cause the slightest deviation from the future I foresaw. Which is why I do not know what causal effect led to you not committing suicide?

And also I do not know what the false relic does but I believe it is very powerful seeing how you and the founder showed a sudden increase in prowess after gaining the false relic.” Clown Mask narrated how she stopped the future she foresaw from happening and how I was the variable she did not expect in her calculation. The most shocking thing in her words was that the dungeon calamity seed awakens in the middle of the city and is able to wipe out half of the city. What were the city enforcers doing? How did they not notice an awakened Calamity seed and allow it to grow to such an extent?
