Months before the final game began,
Mr. Eugene announced that the "Void" would not serve as a game zone, and all Void Creatures could choose different factions or become Free Persons.
Pope naturally chose the latter; he had long seen this game as a crucial trial among kings, a journey necessary to ascend the throne.
It was at this time,
Mr. Eugene informed Pope that he needed to go to Sharnoth in the game and prepared him in advance.
Therefore,
Pope had been preparing for battle, seeking answers from the deepest reaches of the cosmos.
His thinking was similar to Han Dong's,
absolutely unwilling to simply complete the coronation but to continue growing as a Pseudo-King, achieving baseline strength comparable to the Middle Rank, before considering coronation.
The sole target in his heart was [The Ultimate Master].
