章 39: Chapter 39: Belaisle's Endgame

"While I'm certain," Max said, "Dark Brother has other ideas for all that power."

"Like?" My brain was far too scrambled to put two and two together and get any food group but purple.

"I don't know," Max said. "But it's likely he'll try to use it to break the barrier between Universes in a way he can control them both." The big drach paused, brow furrowing. "You must know, it's highly unlikely Belaisle is in full command of himself any longer and probably hasn't been for some time."

It might explain his cleverness, even outside his cheating by using the Oracles to see the future.

"I'm supposed to mourn his poor, unfortunate soul?" Not in my lifetime. And I planned to live forever.

"No," Max said. "Just a warning. If he carries part of Dark Brother's consciousness, we are dealing with a vast mind capable of anything."
