"Theophano?" The Fantasy Dragon couldn't help but ponder.

"Yes," said Medea, "at least that's what I remember seeing."

"I guess Theophano is just a transit point for infection." The Fantasy Dragon said, "Because this queen is just an ordinary person and does not possess any extraordinary powers."

"And considering the timeline, the Demon Tide was at its low point a few years ago, and the level cap was only 5." Ask added, "This long-term model of infecting B from A, and then infecting C from B, is definitely not something that can be achieved with low-level abilities."

"But if that's the case..." The Dragon of Imagination looked at Ask, and Medea's pupils shrank slightly.

A certain feeling of terror gradually rose in the hearts of the three people.

The last peak of the demonic tide was about four hundred years ago. In other words, the mastermind behind the scenes had planned...

Did it start hundreds of years ago

"This is ridiculous." The Fantasy Dragon denied it directly. "Hundreds of years ago... That was the Carolingian Dynasty! Could it be that at that time, the people behind the scenes could have predicted that there would be an Emperor Otto in the Saxon Dynasty hundreds of years later, and used their abilities to plan for him?"

"If the layout did not start from the last magic tide, then is there any way to overcome the restrictions of the magic tide and exert abilities freely?" Medea tried to reverse her thinking.

"If there really is such a method, the person behind the scenes wouldn't need to take such a secretive approach." The Fantasy Dragon said coldly, "With this method, it could easily recruit enough demigods who were unwilling to lie dormant during the low period of the magic tide in the past. Is there any force in the world that can stop it?"

Medea was speechless. Apparently, international politics was generally stable during the low period of the Demonic Tide because the demigods were restricted by the Demonic Tide and could not take action.

If there really was such a method to break the restrictions imposed by the demonic tides on demigods, the world would have been in chaos long ago.

"I'm more inclined to think it's a long-term plan." Ask proposed another possibility, "Sir Dragon of Imagination, have you ever heard of a law related to 'prophecy'?"

"You mean 'fate'?" The Dragon of Imagination said in surprise, "But this kind of law usually can only predict a very limited amount of fragments, not to mention that the future is not immutable. Observation itself is a disturbance. The future predicted by the law of fate has already changed when the act of prediction occurs."

"Don't forget the butterfly effect." Medea also disagreed with this statement. "A butterfly flapping its wings in the northern continent may cause a storm in the southern continent. Even a small change over a few hundred years can have a major impact on the future hundreds of years later."

"It's definitely impossible to plan ahead with simple foresight, but what if the situation is more complicated?" Ask sighed, "Give me an example."

"Someone claimed that he could predict the results of football matches. He listed all the predicted results of football matches, divided them into three categories: win, lose, and draw, and sent them to three user groups respectively."

"If the final result is a draw, he will find the user group that sent the result of a draw, and divide it into three groups again, and send the result of the next game to each group. In this way, as users are continuously screened out, there will always be some users left in the end, for whom this person's prediction results have never been wrong."
