Chapter 609 The Wrath of the Blood Wolf (Part 2)
"Anna, what are you doing here? Didn't 'Fubing' come with you? And what about Adaloni and Hoshino Shota? How are they?" Wright, who had arrived at the "rest area" on the third basement level, was somewhat surprised to see "Leiye" dressed in a purple robe and dressed like a Crusader-style mage in front of him.

“We’ve chosen to cooperate with the Crusad Federation again, Wright,” “Ray Page” explained casually and nonchalantly.
"As for 'Fubing,' he did not agree with my views or approve of my actions. So, he chose to leave Novayask and took Yadaloni with him to Nebsk."

“Shaneva… just like that, he and Adaloni were allowed to leave? Didn’t Anatoli want to arrest him and hand him over to Shaneva? He’s a dragon, possessing the power Shaneva needs. And now… just like that, he’s gone?” Wright looked at “Thunder Page” in astonishment, his mind filled with countless strange thoughts and their various combinations.

However, the explanation for "雷页" is quite simple, yet it makes sense:

“An old, tormented dragon that has lost most of its power is not what Shaneva needs. Anyway, they are going to Nebusk, which will soon be reclaimed by the Federal Council, and Nebrius and ‘Blood Wolf’ will face a ‘just’ trial.”

"The condition for allowing Adaloni to leave is that I hand over Seye, whom I raised for many years. After all, Adaloni has long been tainted by human blood and has lost the pure bloodline of the dragon race. Seye is different; he was raised from birth by Melina, the lost one of the 'Church of Hope,' with blood and fire. Naturally, he possesses the purest, unpolluted dragon bloodline."

"A deal, right?" Wright slightly raised his head, looking at "Thunder Page's" pupils, which were gradually turning purple, and said in a deep voice:
"Anything can be used as a bargaining chip, right? No, I should say that things without value cannot be used for trading, right?"

"Didn't you agree to Shaneva's conditions for the sake of Adalonni and Hoshino Shota? We're all the same kind of people; neither of us has the right to look down on the other." "Ray Page" glanced at the giant box made of lead and steel in the empty, predominantly metal room and sneered.

“I promised the apostle of the Lord of the Night, Vasily’s bastard son, the big guy Wolfya who often stayed by Dark Tiris’s side, that I would burn my life out until you and Dark left the traditional territory of Crus, crossed the frozen no-man’s-land of Eventlay, and reached the land of Khitanris, which flows with honey and milk and is full of new hope.”

“You should understand, no, you may not know an ancient legend.”

"What...legend?" Wright's heart tightened. He looked up and stared at "Thunder Page," who was dressed as a mage and exuded an expensive and mysterious purple aura, and asked in confusion.

Could it be that this woman, who was once a core member of the Lost Ones organization and has now sided with Shaneva, has made some kind of shady deal with Shaneva? Or is she performing some kind of fantastical magic, trying to gradually erode my spiritual power?

Or perhaps she truly possesses some secret about me? Or... perhaps it's best to remain silent for now and quietly observe "Thunder Page's" performance.

Wright pondered to himself, and his body moved to the side of "Thunder Page," maintaining a parallel position that was neither too close nor too far from her.

Seeing this, "Lei Ye" seemed to have been mentally prepared, and she simply spoke in a calm tone:

"In each era, in reality, only one [Orderer] will appear, and each [Orderer] will have a [Troublemaker] with whom they have a fateful entanglement of 'life and death'."

"Eight 'good order groups' exist in the world, and there are eight 'chaotic order groups' that correspond to them. The Creator once said, 'Good and chaos are yin and yang, existence and non-existence; all is the Way, coexisting and mutually dependent.'"

"This sounds like Eastern philosophy," Wright muttered to himself.

"Hahaha," Lei Ye laughed wildly.

"Of course. Only the Easterners comprehended all the laws of the universe during the First Era. Once, the Creator incarnated as a great king of the Flame Empire. During his imprisonment, that king wrote the first classic of the 'Taoist God Sect'."

"In the Steam Age, when the extraordinary and the mechanical became the mainstream of the world, people had the opportunity to establish a connection with the Creator without going mad, and thus received many of His revelations. The Orderers will always be connected with a Chaos Initiator who possesses powerful dark forces."

"Often, they will oppose each other, even attack each other, and eventually die together. Or, like Ivan XXII, the power of [order] is too strong, suppressing the elements of [chaos] so that they cannot sprout and fall into silence."

“The one who corresponds to Ivan XXII, the ‘Troublemaker,’ didn’t appear, right?” Wright asked curiously. “No,” “Thunder Page,” contrary to his usual behavior, shook his head and explained:
"In fact, Ivan XXII's destined person was 'Blood End'. He was the absolute leader of the 'Chaos Group' in its early days, and he had a very brief meeting with Ivan XXII."

“Dark told me that the ‘Chaos Group’ was an assassination organization during the Crusad Empire. Could it be that the two of them met during an assassination attempt?” Wright said half-jokingly.

However, there was no smile on "Ray Page's" face. On the contrary, she looked serious, yet mechanically, like a puppet, as she turned to look at Wright and said earnestly:
"That's right. It was that assassination attempt. Because the Creator's 'reason' dictates that the [Orderers] will inevitably meet the [Disruptors] destined by fate, resulting in two possible outcomes."

"Which two?" Wright asked curiously.

“'Disaster' and… 'Domination',” “Ray Page” replied, glancing at Wright while her right hand tapped repeatedly on the worn-out sofa armrest, as if transmitting some kind of coded signal.

“These two words are not synonyms, nor do they express opposite meanings. They… are unrelated, so why do they lead to two different outcomes? Is this a joke played by the Creator?” Wright asked “Ray Page.”

He knew in his heart that there must be a meaning between these two words that he could not understand at the moment. As the only woman among the twelve "rulers" of the "Order Society", "Lei Ye" had a kind of arrogance that looked down on other men. If he deliberately asked some seemingly stupid questions, it would be more likely to stimulate her desire to express herself.

Sure enough, "Thunder Page" glanced at Wright with disdain and said in a contemptuous tone:

"The sage said that everything in the world is universally interconnected. Even two complete strangers can establish a connection after seven deductions. Similarly, the cooperation between the Order and the Chaos can perfectly and in a balanced way rule this suffering world. But once the power of Order and Chaos becomes unbalanced, the world will be destroyed."

"Real-world developments have already proven this point. Without the hindrance of 'chaos,' Ivan XXII, the 'Orderer,' could carry out the 'New Construction Project' with impunity. No one could stop him, and most people were completely unaware of it. When the calamity of the 'Heartless Ones' arrives, people will only think it is divine punishment, a retribution from the Creator for humanity. Little do they know that the Creator needs to slumber to maintain the stability of the entire universe, and the existence and extinction of humanity will not have any substantial impact on Him."

"A very novel perspective," Wright said curiously, drawing on his basic understanding of the world.
"But people often say that the Creator 'created' humankind in His own image, and then used humankind to understand the nature, planets, and universe He created. If the 'Lord' doesn't care about the extinction of humankind, then why does humankind exist at all..."

"Does existence guarantee rationality?" Lei Ye sneered, getting up and walking into the huge metal box in front of him.

She whispered, "It's almost time," and explained to Wright while taking out a key imbued with "plant-based magical energy" from her chest. After connecting the nine equally spaced nodes at the top of the box, she inserted the key directly into the raised keyhole and waited quietly for the massive metal box to confirm the password and the key.

Countless purple sparks emanated from the base of the giant lead and iron box, like strands of soft silk, or like tiny, seemingly fragile sparks containing immense energy, together forming a beautiful picture of lush, growing vegetation.

However, just as it takes time for the giant lead and iron box to open, it also takes time for the magic to flow.

“That’s right, humanity is the ‘Creator’ itself, and the Creator is also the embodiment of humanity. When this generation of humanity perishes, the Creator can, anywhere in the universe, create another planet of the same kind, constructing the same supercontinent, based on His memories preserved in higher dimensions.” “Thunder Page,” with his back to Wright, looked at the dimly lit skylight above the empty underground space of the military fortress, and continued explaining:
"We are not actually the only humans. Or rather, seven timelines before us, humanity has already perished many times in endless cycles. The Prophet's exclusive skill, 'Mechanical Foresight,' told me that previous human civilizations only reached the Steam Age before perishing in various disasters."

"Human beings are not only a proud race, but also a foolish and shameless one. Once you control the power to suppress or even conquer nature, you will endlessly plunder it. However, humans are not gods and cannot take from the universe. Endless disasters will arise from the accumulation of 'sorrow' and will eventually bring disaster under the entanglement of fate and cause and effect."

Just as Wright was about to retort, the giant lead-iron box finally confirmed the password and key to the "Thunder Page." It instantly disintegrated, revealing a cute-looking, sleeping black dragon inside.

But when "Thunder Page" tried to go further and embrace the dragon she was raising, a bullet pierced her shoulder blade.

Immediately following, a series of terrifying wolf howls filled their ears.
