Aaron breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, his eyes shifting slightly as he continued, "A few days ago, I asked someone to severely teach the Rose School of Thought a lesson for you. Do you think you could do me a small favor?"
"You don't need to act. You just need to disrupt fate within the next week, two weeks at the latest, to conceal the special aspects of my destiny, apart from being a Blessed of the Evernight Goddess."
The silver-white long snake's crimson eyes scrutinized Aaron strangely from top to bottom, then nodded.
Splash!
The dream instantly shattered. Aaron opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and went to the adjacent compartment.
After confirming with Will Auceptin that no one was monitoring him, Aaron quickly set up a Wall of Spirituality and ascended above the dark golden mist.
"That was definitely not a simple dream intrusion!" Aaron frowned slightly, tapping his throne with a finger, replaying the initial dream.
The reason for this judgment was simple: the power first tried to pull him into deep slumber! A Nightmare with such ability can directly see dreams and could not make such an Error.
Aaron had cooperated with Soest, a Soul Assurer, multiple times, and had even used the Ring of Mysteries to record the Beyonder abilities of a Nightmare, making him very familiar with a Nightmare's abilities. Therefore, Aaron was very certain about this.
"So, the guy who was playing tricks just now wasn't using a Nightmare-like Beyonder ability or Mystical Item, but some other method."
"Twilight Hermit Order, Adam, Psychology Alchemists, Hvin Rambis..."
Aaron muttered to himself, his thoughts gradually clearing.
"If that's the case, it should be a Psychology Alchemists' Council member who acted. In Backlund, it's most likely Hvin Rambis."
"After knowing my location, did they use the surrounding collective subconscious sea to infiltrate the Mind Island and directly affect my mental body?"
Recalling the feeling of being unable to break free from the dream despite having regained his sanity, Aaron became even more convinced of his idea.
As if suddenly thinking of something, Aaron sat on the throne and quickly summoned the black emperor card to merge into his body. Relying on his control over the Nation of Disorder, Aaron examined his spirit body from a strange angle.
After repeatedly confirming that he had not been psychologically influenced, Aaron exhaled and took out the black emperor card.
Aaron neither worried nor believed this was Adam's instruction. It was more likely a transaction proposed by a member of the King's faction who had joined the Twilight Hermit Order.
Although the Twilight Hermit Order only interferes with major issues concerning the trends of the times that Adam anticipates.
But as the leader of a secret organization, Aaron also clearly knew that similar organizations, in addition to fulfilling their own tenets and philosophies, also existed for mutual help among members.
The Twilight Hermit Order has members of different fields, statuses, and Sequences. Apart from some who fanatically believe in the first creator and await the coming of dusk and the awakening of the true god.
The rest all have their own interests and demands, such as Hermes, and also George III. In such circumstances, as long as the organizer doesn't strictly control it from the beginning, internal commissions will inevitably appear.
"Heh, they think my investigation might affect George III's godhood plan and intend for me to leave Backlund."
"But I'm not an unknown person. If you want me to leave without giving me some benefits, that won't do."
Thinking this, Aaron suddenly sighed:
"Other secret organizations primarily fulfill their own tenets and philosophies, interspersed with mutual help among members, but my Chaos Council is not so profound. It only has mutual commissions, without tenets and philosophies..."
However, this is also a common problem for all newly established secret organizations. Dismissing his thoughts, Aaron's figure disappeared from the throne.

Wednesday night, Toscate Island, the easternmost part of the Sonia Sea.
As the easternmost colony of the Loen Kingdom, it faces the Gargass Islands to the north, which belong to the Feysac Empire.
Toscate Island primarily relies on plantation economy and pirate black market trade, which in turn fostered the prosperity of bars, brothels, and casinos, making it a haven for pirates.
The Future arrived at the port of Toscate Island, forcibly docking at the pier.
Frank smiled very happily, handing a leather case filled with a package of yellowish-green potions to Maric.
As Frank, who had the Sequence 8 Doctor in his prerequisite Sequence, upon hearing that the guest would experience bloodthirsty madness during the blood moon, he proactively formulated a potion with his exclusive recipe for him.
Maric expressionlessly took the potion. If he hadn't tried the potion beforehand and genuinely felt its effects, he would have thought it was poison.
After thanking and bidding farewell to Frank, who had an enthusiastic smile, and Cattleya, the Admiral of Stars, who stood beside him.
Sharron and Maric, carrying the leather case, left the Future and boarded the pier of Toscate Island. Relying on their extraordinary physical fitness, the two quickly disappeared.
Even while on the ship, Sharron had heard Frank describe the situation on Toscate Island, knowing that the forces here were mixed and very chaotic.
Even though they had severely struck the Rose School of Thought's pursuit with the help of Queen Mystic Bernadette and that hidden existence's power last time, she dared not let down her guard.
Sharron clearly recognized that she only had the strength of a Sequence 6. After confirming that she had left the Future, the Rose School of Thought, having suffered heavy losses from the last failed capture, would surely search for them even more frantically.
Therefore, they decided to covertly infiltrate tonight and buy black boat tickets, but instead of going to the pirate-frequented bar Frank suggested, they headed to the "Oak Bar" recommended by Cattleya.
They planned to travel to Oravi Island early tomorrow morning—an island located on the "Rorsted Archipelago—Toscate" shipping route.
The reason was simple: "Steel" McVeigh, the second mate of "Admiral of Blood" Senior, had recently appeared on Toscate Island.
As fellow Sequence 6 Zombies, even if they teamed up, Sharron and Maric would not be able to defeat him in a short time, not to mention he also had helpers.
To avoid revealing their whereabouts and alarming "Admiral of Blood" Senior, and consequently being discovered by the Rose School of Thought behind him.
Maric found a street broker and, through "friendly" communication, had him buy two black boat tickets to Oravi Island at the "Oak Bar."
After getting the tickets, Maric, to prevent the guy from blabbering, casually knocked him out and threw him into a room.

Thursday morning, Backlund, Loen, St. George Borough.
"Many thanks to all guests for attending the opening ceremony of the 'East Tucker Charity Foundation'...".
After a passionate speech by the host, Aaron personally cut the ribbon. As Aaron and other guests discussed the Future development of the foundation, Soro Bint quickly walked to Aaron's side and whispered:
"Earl, MI9 has agreed to your terms."
"However, Qonas Kilgor asked me to tell you that King George III intends to summon you to the palace this Saturday, and the conditions you proposed will be personally announced by the King."
