For the longest time, He Ao had always harbored a doubt in his mind.
That is, in the Copy World of the Wilderness Wanderer Ronald, what was the "reason" the federation had for supporting South City City Defense Army Commander "Noan" in his rebellion?
After Noan killed Christos, even with the backing of the federation, could he really convince an Angel-Tier Legion Commander, convince Ains, to recognize his "illegitimate" ascension?
What kind of price would the federation have to pay to achieve this? Could Noan really repay these "losses" to the federation?
At the time, Christos had not fully ascended to power, and his "threat" to the federation only existed in future projections.
The federation likely wouldn't have been willing to pay such a hefty price for Noan, especially considering the federation's "stingy" nature.
So why would they encourage Noan to "rebel"?
It wasn't until today, when he saw Dick in front of him.
He Ao finally obtained the long-overdue answer.
