473. Chonky, The Enigma

"The Demon Realm?" 

The ghost of the Pope neither agreed nor denied it. "Knowing one's own future may hinder the flow of destiny. I shall teach you Elder Magic, and with that, my legacy and my role shall be complete."

Sylvester pondered deeply at that point. "If you are doing all this because it is your destiny, then aren't you just a pawn like me? Is there someone controlling you like a puppet? How can you be sure that this is the right path?"

The Pope's ghost fell silent abruptly. Undoubtedly, Sylvester's words had provoked a profound self-reflection.

Eventually, the man sighed and shook his head. "There is no way for us to confirm who is pulling the strings of the world. The true God? Or some impostor? The truth is, we are all pawns of our own fate. Nevertheless, what is meant to happen will happen, so let us focus on the present and ensure that you learn Elder Magic as quickly as possible."
