of information across the universe billions of years ago and made sure the people in charge of kingdoms across the universe knew these pieces of information.

“The first piece of information was that Siders are immortal until the universe was done with them. This was to give me time to assess if the Sider had the potential to become a Demon by using the second piece of information.

“The mind is a funny thing because the second piece of information was about Siders becoming either a Saint or Demon. When the Sider hears this, one of three things will happen.

“They either start saving more people to become a Saint, nothing changes and they stay the same, or they go on a killing spree to get stronger.

“I was watching you when you first heard this information from a guild master in the town closest to where you first woke up. What happened after that? You went on a killing spree for the next six years with both animals and humans as targets. That’s when I knew you could become a Demon.

“For the three requirements to become a Demon, the first is the purified Life Power which you called the Silver Grade. I had a few plans in motion to help you discover how to get this done, but you went ahead and did it on your own before my plans could even start.

“The second is you couldn’t have a nourished body. When the first two Siders became Demons, it was because they hadn’t figured out how to nourish the body yet. After they completed the cultivation path for everybody, no other Demonic Siders were born.

“For this to work, I had to manipulate two other Transcendents from watching a sun into creating a battlefield for the two races to fight. I made sure the proper cultivation method was lost to humanity, just so I could find a Sider to fulfil the second requirement.

“The last requirement is probably the hardest to achieve. The Sider had to have experienced such regret that it tore the mind apart. It didn’t matter if the regret came before or after the other two requirements as long as the mind splits apart.

“When the mind splits apart, a second personality is born which would become the Demon. I’m not sure what happens after that because I’ve never experienced it, only the star pattern around the right eye is an indicator.

“The first thing is just the pattern which means you’ve gained the Demon title. Next comes the black eye and yellow iris which means you’ve lost most, if not all, of your morals and had impulses to kill anything as long as it benefited you.

“The last stage is when the black star around your eye fills up which means the Demon personality took over the mind and is fully awake. Those impulses become stronger and you’d use everything you could to kill whoever you wanted.

“To make you feel this regret, I did a few things. The first was to clone your master and manipulate Jeremy into killing the clone in front of you. That failed as you only became angry during the fight and afterwards you went on a hunt for the rest of the Rogue Sect members.

“When you met your future wife, I looked into where she was from since you were helping her. After I saw that you two were dating, I made sure that the father and son pair knew she was alive and where to find her.”

John clenched his fist and was about to rush up and punch O’Malley again but managed to calm down and remain seated.

O’Malley smiled at John’s actions and continued, “That plan worked because I watched the star pattern form when you got your revenge. From that moment on, I concentrated on nourishing the Demon inside you.

“I was the person who went to the Adventurers’ Guild’s prison after you broke out and told them all that you escaped. I then used that to send you into the battlefield and get the proper cultivation technique and gain control of the elements to become stronger and eventually transcend.

“The map—which showed you the origin planet and was sold in the Adventurers’ Guild’s auction house—was given by me, and I manipulated the other people at that auction to let you win it, just in case.

“I was also the person who got the origin planet’s maps added into the pile inside the warehouse when you bought all the world and area maps from the Adventurers’ Guild.

“It was a funny coincidence because I bribed someone to do it for me by giving them the designs on the Lady of Justice statue. I was watching you when you went to trial and offered the same statue to them, which caused the leak about a Sider inside the Adventurers’ Guild.

“I think that explains a few things, but I’m sure you’ve got some questions you’d like to ask, so ask them.”

John thought of a few, but he started with an easy one. “Where are we?”

“We’re in space,” O’Malley replied. “I’m sure you’ve heard that Transcendents use nano metal for armour and weapons, right? Well, that’s not because it’s the hardest metal, but because nano metal is so resilient that it doesn’t get affected by our absorbing powers when we’re not sealed.

“I was watching when you killed those people at the auction house with some kind of rope. It absorbed everything besides the skin, right? Well, nano metal is like the skin and will get left behind any planet that we destroy from our unsealed powers.

“This entire castle is made out of nano metal so we can have our powers unsealed and not affect any planets. There are runes on the outside walls of the castle that can stop Chaos Power from entering here, though, so you can’t cultivate here.”

“Were you the one who did the divination about me killing billions of people for the Anti-assassin Sect?” John asked.

O’Malley began to laugh. “No. I don’t know who did that, but divination doesn’t exist. If
