Torian Was Poisoned?

Also, Sillo wondered one thing, something that Duorda made clear the moment they encountered each other. Duorda had introduced himself as the current assistant to Jack and the former assistant to Daruun. Being Jack's assistant was interesting but being Daruun's former assistant meant more than Sillo could fathom after learning that Daruun was from another world.

Didn't that mean that Duorda also came from outside of Kartonia? Wouldn't that mean that Duorda may have been right about all of his mid-battle comments?

Such thoughts kept Sillo from immediately accepting the multicolored crystal as an easy way to gain power. Sillo's perspective of power was completely flipped after that fight. If such control was how a newly ascended god completely overwhelmed a tag-team of gods that were three levels stronger, wouldn't it be best to seek higher levels of mana control and not raw power?
