It was a joke. As the Originator of intelligence of the abyss, this group of sages were actually panicking over a pinch of salt.
"What exactly is Paganini thinking!" Someone screamed, "Why would such a huge mistake occur? Did he purposely leave behind such a dangerous fellow in our plans?"
"I can't believe we have been keeping something dangerous so closely by our sides!"
"I knew we couldn't trust humans! The plan hasn't even succeeded and Paganini is already trying to abandon us?"
Someone suggested softly, "It's still not too late for us to withdraw now…"
"We can still do that, as long as we return the gift of the Holy Spirit."
