Revelation

Ignoring the pain that came from biting his tongue so hard that even blood appeared, Daneel tried to comprehend what he had just heard.

This was the mystery surrounding Angaria that he had been trying to uncover since a very long time.

The history of this continent was something that none of the forces on the Central Continent knew. Either the Big Four had made sure that this would be the case, or all those forces that were now in the Central Continent had come into existence after whatever had happened to the Empire, meaning that their history started when the true history of Angaria ended.

This proclamation was met by silence, so Daneel used this opportunity to think about this revelation that had shocked him to the core.

As he listed all the facts he knew so far, he realized that it all made sense, more or less.
