While Lt. General Spencer doubted Waytt's intellect, DemiG.o.d Norley concluded his contemplation, and locking eyes with Wyatt he asked, "Dalton Wyatt, I don't think you are suicidal then why do you want me to kill you?"

As a demiG.o.d with over a thousand years of acc.u.mulation, Norley's Divine perception had grown to the point it would no longer be appropriate to call it anything but Divine insight.

Divine Perception allowed a demiG.o.d to know whenever someone in a lower realm than them was thinking of them anywhere in the world. All it took was them thinking or saying their name, and the demiG.o.ds would know. This was the reason why people would not dare to bad mouth a demiG.o.d regardless of whether the demiG.o.d was aware of their existence or not.

When in their immediate vicinity, DemiG.o.ds could use their Divine perception to vaguely see through the thoughts of those in the lower realm. Whereas, when upgraded to Divine insight it allowed the DemiG.o.d to see through the thoughts of anyone with lower Divine insight than them. It also allowed them to perceive the existence of anyone with lower Divine insight than them anywhere in the world as long as they knew their true name. When used along with the right combination of rule meanings, there was no limit to the wondrous things the Divine insight allowed a demiG.o.d to achieve. For example, looking into the past, present, and future of lower realm beings.

With DemiG.o.d Norley's Divine insight and a.r.s.enal of runes, a card master like Dalton Wyatt should be an open book but to his astonishment except for vaguely sensing his present his Divine insight and runes failed him. When he said sensing his present vaguely he was being generous when a part of him told him that he was perceiving what Wyatt wanted him to perceive and nothing else. If his hunch was true, then it meant that the Divine insight that he had nurtured for thousands of years was useless against a 17-or-something card master.

DemiG.o.d Norley's hunch was not baseless, as with his Divine insight he should have seen through Wyatt's disguise but he did not. The card master in his late twenties not only had a completely different soul energy signature and vibration but he also had an entire set of regular and boring thoughts. As such his Divine insight actually told him that morphed Wyatt was a regular card master with limited potential. Norley could not think of any A-rank card or Rune that could allow a card master to achieve something like this.

Before arriving here, DemiG.o.d Norley tried to use Wyatt's true name to perceive his location in the card world with the help of his divine insight but he failed. He did not think much of it believing that the Southern Royal family was covering for him. However, now he knew that Wyatt was more than what meets the eye.

Not to mention he failed to recognize him when Wyatt revealed himself. During this incident, he had used his divine insight but it failed him again. All he could hear was Wyatt repeatedly chanting 'I am not fake.' Therefore, DemiG.o.d Norley believed that the Wyatt in front of him was a fake only the fake one would attempt something like this as it was the well-known method to mislead the divine perception of a demiG.o.d.

It did not end there after Lt. General Spencer helped him conclude that the card master in front of him claiming to be Wyatt was indeed Dalton Wyatt. He saw the att.i.tude of Wyatt take a sharp turn. He no longer addressed him respectfully rather he acted arrogant and rude despite the Lt. General revealing his ident.i.ty to him and even going as far as to warn Wyatt not to be rude to him.

In this situation despite his divine insight having failed repeatedly against Wyatt, he decided to use it to hear what Wyatt wanted him to hear. To his astonishment, he heard Wyatt repeatedly uttering arrogant words belittling him. DemiG.o.d Norley did not understand why Wyatt was doing this. It was clear that Wyatt was aware he could hear his projected thoughts. So shouldn't he at least try to be humble to deceive him instead he has pulled all stops to enrage him. Why do this?

This was when DemiG.o.d Norley used his divine insight on the demiG.o.ds from the Southern Royal palace and was easily able to see through their thoughts without any problem. These so-called strongest of the world were more of an open book to him than the card master. So it was not surprising that these demiG.o.ds had no idea that what their divine perception was perceiving were not Wyatt's real thoughts but altered thoughts that he was projecting and believed that Wyatt was seeking death.

This was when DemiG.o.d Norley realized, Wyatt wanted him to kill him. This confused him further. He could not fathom why Wyatt would willingly seek death. DemiG.o.d Norley could not believe that he was having to apply his brain against a card master since his divine insight failed. However, to his dismay, even he could not understand why Wyatt wanted him to kill him.

The thought that Wyatt had some high-level items or cards given to him by the Southern Royal family for his protection up his sleeves which could be the reason he was arrogant crossed DemiG.o.d Norley's mind but he knew that thinking like that would be him underestimating Wyatt since he was able to counter his divine insight with his will alone. He could not think of someone with such a strong will doing something so stupid. They would know that in front him, any protective measure that the Southern royal family might have left him was useless.

Unable to think of a valid reason why Wyatt would want him to kill him, DemiG.o.d Norley gave up and despite feeling shame, he directly asked Wyatt what he was trying to achieve here.

Wyatt did not answer DemiG.o.d Norley instead seeing that the hostile demiG.o.d did not kill him despite him provoking him, he deduced that he was not here to kill him which could only mean that the demiG.o.d was here to kidnap him. With this, Wyatt's plan to get the DemiG.o.d to kill him out of rage and settle this matter was meaningless. However, he did not stop projecting his arrogant thoughts belittling DemiG.o.d Norley.

"Rest your mind at peace and stop projecting doctored thoughts, I am not here to talk to you as one of the founding fathers of the current government but as a concerned father," DemiG.o.d Norley revealed letting out a helpless sigh. His stern and emotionless face had eased but it still did not show any emotions.

Lt. General Spencer who heard DemiG.o.d Norley say he was here as a concerned parent remembered him threatening to kill Susan so that Wyatt would seek his daughter. Then remembering that DemiG.o.d Norley's daughter had also partic.i.p.ated in the Southern Captial incident she put two and two together.

Understanding why DemiG.o.d Norley was here, Lt. General Spencer could not believe that the person dubbed as the mad scientist among the founding fathers of the current government was actually a decent father. She found it unbelievable. However, she strongly believed that people do not change but just get good at hiding their flaws she did not buy into DemiG.o.d Norley being a decent father. She thought this was his another one of c.o.c.kamamie projects.

Wyatt skeptically looked at DemiG.o.d Norley but felt his words were genuine and sincere. Understanding that in front of experts, the trick of projecting doctored thoughts to deceive their divine perception did not work, he stopped projecting false thoughts. After all, was never under the impression that people would not be able to guess that he was immune to divine sense. Though it was a pity that it came to light so soon.

As soon as Wyatt stopped projecting doctored thoughts, it did not take long for the 11 demiG.o.ds from the Southern Royal family to realize what was actually going on unable to perceive any thoughts from Wyatt using their divine sense's divine perception. Finding that their entire outlook on life had changed they all looked at Wyatt as if looking at a monster. However, they all agreed that one had to at least be of this level to be dubbed with the t.i.tle 'Hope of the Southern Region.'

"Well, follow me. I heard that my new tower has an excellent coffee shop. We can chat over a coffee and see if it is worthy of the praises," Wyatt offered thinking that DemiG.o.d Norley genuinely wanted to speak with him.

From what DemiG.o.d Norely just said it was clear that he had already determined Wyatt to be the real Dalton Wyatt. The fact that demiG.o.d Norley had not attacked despite conforming to Wyatt's ident.i.ty was evidence enough that he genuinely wanted to talk with Wyatt as he claimed.
