The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

Chapter 261 The Genesis Society's Plan
Chapter 261

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

Under Polina's subtle and rhythmic "proactive offensive," her relationship with Quentin also warmed up day by day.

They spend every day together, speaking intimately to each other, and on some occasions, they are as close as lovers.

What delighted Polina even more was that Quentin made no attempt to avoid using terms like "New World" and "Genesis" in his conversations.

They even occasionally revealed a hint of appreciation and longing, as if they had no hostility towards the Creation Society, but rather a strong sense of identification with it.

This made Polina very happy.

She knew that her sacrifice was not in vain.

Despite the humiliating process, she ultimately succeeded in winning over Quentin, a confidant of Viscount Layton!

More importantly, Quentin not only has a special identity, but also has the privilege of moving freely within the Duchy of Turquoise.

If Quentin can be turned against his side through this, not only can intelligence be obtained, but it is also possible to create distrust and chaos within Viscount Layton and the Feathered Serpent Order.

Therefore, Polina had quietly drafted a plan to submit to the Genesis Society headquarters and apply for permission to proceed with the next steps:
Using Quentin as a wedge, they broke through Viscount Layton's defenses of trust, stirring up the political situation of the entire Duchy of Turquoise!
She thought she had gotten away with it and that her defection plan had worked.

However, she never expected...

Every sweet word she uttered, every whispered phrase, and even every emotional shift in her eyes had already been reported to Lynn by Quentin without missing a single detail.

The level of detail in that daily intelligence report was so extreme that it even recorded "what perfume she used before going to bed on a certain night," a level of detail that was outrageous.

Ironically, every two days Quentin would proactively ask Lynn for her opinion: "Should we take action and just close the net?"

But Lynn always just shook his head slightly, his expression calm:
"Don't rush, it's not time yet."

He didn't want just any small fry among the peripheral members; he wanted to use Polina as a thread to gradually pull out the entire hidden network of the Genesis Society.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Creation Society is like a venomous snake hidden deep underground, difficult to find, and ordinary people can't even touch it, let alone make a move against it.

Now that Polina has come to him willingly, he thinks he is "turning" her to the other side, but little does he know that he is the big bait being used to lure her in.

Lynn had already made up his mind to use this "rebellion operation" to lure out the big fish behind it all.

However, there is a prerequisite for completing this plan: Quentin must be loyal enough not to be truly turned against him.

Lynn never had any worries about this.

If Quentin were just an ordinary local alchemist, there might be a risk of him being brainwashed, but he comes from the wizarding world.

He knew that on the other side of the wizarding world, a powerful Morning Star wizard was silently watching the turbulent situation in this world.

When the great Morning Star Wizard arrives, this world will eventually belong to the wizard.

In Quentin's view, the Creation Society is nothing more than a bunch of clowns who have been resurrected and are fantasizing about reshaping order.

Compared to the ambitions of that Morning Star Wizard, the so-called New World was nothing but a mirage.

Therefore, Quentin knew perfectly well that if he really betrayed the cause, he would surely die.

It's not that he's afraid to move, it's that he simply doesn't know how to move.

He will only continue to play the role of this "lecher," patiently accompanying Polina, waiting for the moment when Lynn will personally close the net...

………………

Time flies, and another half month has passed.

Lynn continued to secretly expand his power in Leiner City, and this time, he quietly recruited a new group of "fellow countrymen" from the wizarding world.

This even includes several first-level wizards, who in this world could be converted into bronze alchemists.

These wizards from another world were also broken up by Lynn and secretly planted in various key locations within the Duchy of Cuilan.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Quentin, who was cooperating with Polina in the film, had finally reached the most crucial step in his "defection plan":
He is about to be sworn in as a member of the Creation Society.

This is a taboo that no alchemist in the entire plane of existence dares to easily touch.

Joining the Genesis Society is not as simple as signing your name or saying a slogan.

It was a soul-level binding; once the oath was taken, the soul's essence would be permanently engraved in the "World Tree."

Every member of the Genesis Society must make sincere contributions and vow to protect the so-called "New World Vision" with their lives.

Like Polina, she was willing to sacrifice her innocence and trust in order to bring Quentin into the organization.

Within the entire Alchemist Alliance, no matter how audacious, no spy would dare to falsify anything during such a ceremony.

Once your soul is bound to the World Tree, no matter how powerful you are, you will become a prisoner, tool, or servant of the Creation Society.

But Quentin is not from this world.

He came from the wizarding world and was a spy personally selected by Lynn.

He knew that behind that vast starry sky, a Morning Star Wizard was preparing to descend and conquer this world.

In the face of this larger picture, Genesis's "new world vision" seems like a poorly crafted fairy tale.

So Quentin stepped into the mysterious and dark cave without hesitation to undergo the ritual that no one dared to fake.

Deep within the cave, ten members of the Creation Society, clad in black robes, stood in a circle around Quentin, chanting strange and solemn ancient phrases.

The voice seemed to come from the abyss, yet also seemed to echo through the starry sky, carrying a kind of hypnotic, mysterious power:

"May your soul return to the World Tree, may your eyes see only the light of the new world..."

Incense swirls in the air, and incantations murmur softly.

At the heart of the ceremony, Quentin knelt on both knees, while Polina stood beside him, their fingers intertwined, as if they were making a sacred vow together.

Her gaze was tender and gentle, as if it could drip with honey, filled with passionate emotions and fervent trust.

“I know you’re not as cynical as you seem… You’ve given up everything from the past for me…”

Her eyes were resolute as she murmured softly, as if making her deepest vow.

And Quentin, standing to the side...

His face showed a devout expression, as if he was truly moved, truly brainwashed, and truly willing to go through fire and water for the "new world".

But in his mind, an endless stream of complaints had already arisen:

"The cult atmosphere is unbearable... I was just playing along, and you actually got emotional? How was my acting convincing? This is ridiculous..."

He glanced sideways at the slowly activating World Tree projection, inscribing his soul information while inwardly grumbling:

"Compared to the murky Genesis Society, I yearn more for the glory of the great Morning Star Wizards..."

"I've gone this far. Once this interdimensional expedition is over, the great Morning Star Wizard should grant me a wizard's qualification, right..."

He offered his soul to the Creation Society, but in reality, he offered up a time bomb.

The Creation Society, however, was still smug, believing they had successfully turned the enemy into a defector and gained a key confidant of Viscount Layton...

Not long after, the Genesis Society's "acceptance ceremony" for Quentin finally came to a close. Quentin, who had just "submitted," won the initial trust of the Genesis Society with his "sincerity" and "repentance."

The reward for trust is a naked dumping of intelligence:
The entire battle plan, detailing how to gradually dismantle the Duchy of Cuilan and create chaos, was laid bare to him without reservation.

From baronies in the countryside and medium-sized towns in provinces to strategic nodes under the jurisdiction of viscounts, the Genesis Society has laid out layers of chess pieces, with every detail meticulously planned and interconnected.

What truly stirred Quentin's interest was the other party's "list of insiders."

The members of the Creation Society told him without any hesitation:
“A high-ranking member of the Feathered Serpent Order has been secretly working with Viscount Layton and Queen Elise Quel'Thalas. He has already reached a private agreement with us to continuously provide intelligence in exchange for generous resources.”

Quentin looked visibly shocked, as if he had suffered a huge shock, and muttered to himself:

"I see... No wonder something felt off..."

But in his heart, he was already making plans:

"I need to figure out how to deliver this information to Lord Layton later..."

Just then, a slender, mid-level member of the Creation Society, dressed in a black robe, walked up to him and Polina, his face full of satisfaction, and said:

"Quentin, your ability to realize your mistakes and turn back is a great awakening."

"You and Polina will join hands to become builders of the new world... Your mission is to clean house for Lord Klaus!"

The man spoke in a chilling tone, enunciating each word clearly:

“People like Viscount Layton, who insisted on turning back to the corrupt old order even though the teacher had already pointed out the way... such traitors must be eliminated!”

"Create a new world, and behead Viscount Layton!"

As the slogan faded, Quentin and Polina joined in, raising their arms and shouting, the crowd in high spirits, their voices hoarse.

It seems as if he is a steadfast believer who has completely let go of his old self and devoted himself to the torrent of ideals.

His performance earned high praise from all the Genesis members present.

After a brief period of enthusiasm, everyone went their separate ways to arrange the follow-up matters.

Everyone's expressions conveyed the same message: the operation was about to begin.

As for when it will actually begin...

………………

"Three days later—at noon, the entire Duchy of Cuilan will be baptized in chaos and bloodshed."

Lynn recalled the information Quentin had sent him, which detailed the Genesis Society's rebellion plan in great detail.

At this moment, he was sitting peacefully in Evelyn's boudoir, leisurely sipping a cup of tea that she had personally brewed.

His expression remained calm and composed, and even though the message from Quentin was quite sudden, it did not change his demeanor in the slightest.

Meanwhile, Evelyn, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lynn, found herself increasingly unable to calm down.

She had actually been secretly observing Lynn's actions.

He was never flustered, never anxious, and never even seriously discussed a proper strategy for dealing with the Creation Society.

This composure and calmness are not feigned, but rather stem from genuine inner confidence.

But where does this confidence come from?

Evelyn didn't know, and the less she knew, the more she wanted to know.

She had investigated Lynn's past thoroughly; but the more she dug, the more doubts arose.

Every time a mystery is solved, two new questions arise; the closer one gets, the more unfathomable it becomes.

She became increasingly curious.

This curiosity is no longer a simple rational exploration, but a kind of obsession tinged with inexplicable emotions.

She herself was unaware that this state of "thinking about it day and night" had already quietly taken shape.

Just like before, Evelyn was once again stunned.

During this period, Viscount Layton spent almost every day with her. Although they weren't inseparable, they were together almost all the time except for their respective rest periods.

However, even under such "24/7 companionship"...

Lynn suddenly revealed a piece of major news that she was completely unaware of, yet which was enough to shake the entire Duchy of Cuilan:

Three days later, the Creation Society will launch a full-scale operation against the Principality of Cuilan.

Moreover, he clearly pointed out:

There are high-ranking traitors within the Feathered Serpent Society who have long been secretly colluding with the Creation Society, responsible for continuously transmitting internal intelligence.

What angered Evelyn even more was that the Alchemist Alliance was also involved in this conspiracy against the Duchy of Turquoise!

That person was none other than Karen's subordinate!
"The Genesis Society's attack... traitors within the Feathered Serpent Society... even Karen was able to cooperate with the Genesis Society for revenge..."

Evelyn's beautiful eyes were churning with emotions, and she was on the verge of losing control.

She simply couldn't understand:
This Viscount Layton, who had been by her side for the past few days, almost never leaving her side, had somehow grasped all the key information earlier and more accurately than she had!
This man... is becoming more and more unfathomable.

Lynn, seemingly oblivious to the turmoil in her heart, sipped her tea with a serene and composed expression.
"The infiltration of the Creation Society and the traitors of the Feathered Serpent Society were actually within expectations."

“However…” He paused slightly, a meaningful cold light flashing in his eyes.

"What's truly interesting is Karen. As the heir to the Wings of Sky, he actually went so far as to collude with the Creation Society just to undermine our Duchy of Emerald Orchid... That's quite intriguing."

Lynn's tone was calm, but his words were as sharp as a blade.

This is indeed a shocking thing.

Karen, the heir to the mighty Wings of the Sky, is backed by one of the three supreme thrones of the Alchemist Alliance.

They should have been the backbone of maintaining order, but instead they willingly joined forces with the Creation Society, an evil organization that overthrew the old order...

If this matter is exposed, even if he is the successor of Skyward Wings, he will not be able to escape the Alliance's judgment!
"I really didn't expect..."

Evelyn bit her lip lightly, her beautiful eyes flashing with a cold light.

"How could he be so petty and vindictive... For that little personal grudge, he didn't hesitate to betray the Alliance and join the Genesis Society... How can such a person be worthy of being the successor of the Wings of the Sky!"

At this point, she became completely emotional.

"After this Genesis Society's operation, I must gather evidence and personally report him to the Alliance! Let the entire continent see this guy's true colors!"

Lynn looked at her puffed-up, cat-like appearance and couldn't help but chuckle, teasingly saying:

"It seems that our great Feathered Serpent God underestimated his own charm."

"As the saying goes, beautiful women often bring trouble... Now it seems that even you can't escape the troubles that beauty brings."

He smiled, raised his teacup, and gently swirled the tea inside, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Evelyn gave a soft snort and rolled her eyes at him. Just as she was about to retort, a strange warmth welled up in her heart, making her cheeks flush slightly, but she didn't continue to argue.
