General Song was still trying to make a decision when he received a message from Grin. The words left him shocked.
Grin was stuck outside? Didn't that mean that Grin had lost a battle?
He had never seen Grin's stats before. In fact, even Sylas had never, let alone General Song. But Grin still gave him an unfathomable feeling, a feeling that Sylas didn't give him by the
same measure.
General Song had always prided himself in his judgment of people, and he had observed Sylas in battle for long enough to come to what he thought was an accurate conclusion.
But now...
'That snake, huh?'
He leaned back in his chair, wondering what to do.
The information was about more than just the snake and Morgan as well. It also made it clear that the new leader of the city was actually the same man.
This made it easier for General Song to accept Grin's apparent defeat. If Sylas had made use of the Generals, then it was only natural.
From Grin's tone as well, it didn't seem like he was asking for help to deal with Sylas either. Instead, his message was far more tailored toward Morgan and their attempts to pin him down.
Clearly, Grin still wanted to deal with Sylas on his own. But by the same token, he needed General Song to apply a bit of pressure.
Even if Sylas didn't care about the Basilisk King, could it be that he was interested in Morgan for the same reasons their Celestial Republic was? In that case, they could have a two-for-
one...
Whether Sylas cared about the Basilisk King or Morgan, the clues pointed toward the fact he would certainly have some reservations about either one of them dying.
That could be used.
The timing of this was excellent. General Song was just wondering what to do when Grin's information fell on his lap.
On the one hand, he now knew that he had a hold of a potential weakness of Sylas, and on the other, many of the System City Generals were occupied trying to make sure that Grin didn't sneak back into the city walls.
There was no better time to act than now.
General Song slowly stood.
"Darla, get my weapons. We're preparing for war."

[What is a Progenitor Flame?]
[The tale of Prometheus is one long spread, and the Flames of a Progenitor represent the very same flare for life and hope. Step onto the Path of a Progenitor, gather Progenitor Flames, and increase your ability to help raise your world to another level]
Sylas read the description of the Madness Key in silence, feeling that it was being far more vague than usual considering just how specific the question was.
He also found it weird that a Progenitor Flame was supposedly supposed to help his world, but how could he help Earth when only he gained access to Progenitor Mastery?
And also, it seemed now that the reason the system was so infuriated was because he had made it one step worse. Not only did the Progenitor Flame not seem to have an obvious ability to help Earth as a whole, but his Gluttony Seed took it for itself selfishly.
