章 287: Another Divergence! Grasping An Opportunity!

'Some things you just need to accept…'

From the very beginning, Leo almost had no desire for the Sky Fruit. Although something like that would elevate either his or Yeon's combat ability to the roof, he didn't designate the 'Hot Potato' as a target in fear that all of the change that he administered would go to waste.

However, even if he didn't aim for it, he at least thought that the protagonist wouldn't come to have the last laugh. It was okay if someone among the other powerhouses got it, and it was even okay if the Sword King got it and gave it to Geochin himself, but why did the final act have to conclude in such a manner that blatantly screamed plot device?

After succeeding in stealing the spotlight once, Leo believed that a protagonist's destiny wasn't that strong in a realistic world like this, but it seemed like the true cornerstone events could never truly change, at least not the part where the main character received the benefits… Or so Leo thought.
