Merlin saw the flickering purple light in Aiwass's eyes and, with some resignation, adjusted his hat to shield the upper half of his face.
"It seems you've grasped something, Aiwass,"
Merlin said softly, the corners of his mouth tilting slightly upward.
How very astute he was.
Just by observing Aiwass's expression, watching him suddenly resonate with Transcendence Path, he could roughly guess what had transpired. There was no need for Aiwass to explain it to him personally.
——The intermediate steps, as well as "how it was done," these things didn't need consideration at all.
Then what remained were but a few possibilities.
Aiwass was the chess piece needed by the Ring of Ouroboros ritual's behind-the-scenes plan, Aiwass was the fallback prepared by the Serpent Celestial Marshal, Aiwass was a part of Jacob's conspiracy... roughly, those were the kinds of possibilities.
In any case, it was either related to Jacob or the Serpent Celestial Marshal.
