In the center of the battlefield, Cyclone looked at the cult leader and broke out in a cold sweat.

After a moment of contemplation, Cyclone found the plan to transfer national power terrifying. If he had to describe it, this would be a plan that would make any man afraid.

"This green hat is too scary..." Cyclone muttered to himself, looking at the cult leader. The cult leader remained silent.

"In the end, isn't this just a scam to pass the buck?" Cyclone smirked, realizing how ludicrous the situation was.

The cult leader, understanding Cyclone's implications, responded, "Well, with this green hat, you can also crown yourself king~"

Cyclone gasped, silently mourning for a second for King Allen. It was evident that the cult leader had made extensive preparations for this scheme.

Currently, Kakarl was like a pregnant woman about to give birth. Irony lay in forcibly marrying a man trying to take advantage of her, making him her husband, and then expecting him to raise a child that would not obey him.

Cyclone and the cult leader exchanged smiles, then spoke in unison, "Not just anyone can wear this green hat~" x2

To some extent, Cyclone and the cult leader reached an agreement.

"Listen, this plan is simple," the cult leader gestured for Alexander to continue.

"King Allen wants Kakarl, that's fine. But at the same time, we must ensure that Kakarl continues to spread the faith of the Water Teachings," Alexander explained.

"After handing the country to King Allen, we will lose control, so..." Eumerika, who had been standing by, joined the conversation.

"So, we need to make some moves beforehand," even François, who had been playing dumb earlier, spoke seriously.

It seemed that the previous meeting might have been just a show. Selling off a country would naturally face opposition.

But all this was not Cyclone's concern now. The current issue was...

"Moves? I believe... it involves me, right?"

"Half correct. Do you remember Sunset City? Who was it handed over to in the end?" the cult leader asked.

Cyclone thought for a moment and replied, "Sunset City... the original king?"

"Correct," the cult leader's question illustrated the current situation.

"If we do nothing, King Allen will eventually return Kakarl to King Kakarl, both to justify his actions and to gain favor with him," the cult leader explained, expressing his worst-case scenario.

"In the end, just like Sunset City, Kakarl will become King Allen's puppet," Cadiaeo, the last of the Four Saints and the Gentleman of Magic, spoke seriously.

After hearing everyone's input, Cyclone intertwined his fingers and began contemplating.

Integrating everyone's key points, he shared his thoughts, "Since we will lose control, you can't control King Allen's choice... unless... you want to wage a battle of reputation."

At this point, Alexander smiled, "Exactly. Before King Allen selects who will be Kakarl's puppet, if King Kakarl's reputation is tarnished, King Allen will have no choice but to reject him."

"Benefiting unfairly, that fellow can only follow public opinion. Without using Water Teachings or heretics..."

With Cyclone's analysis, the cult leader once again steered the conversation back to his objective.

"Water Teachings will be liberated from the constraints of a 'nation,' achieving true religious freedom."

"You..." Cyclone looked at the cult leader, "Are even more dreadful than I imagined."

The cult leader simply covered his eyes with his left hand and waved his right hand, saying, "Oh, stop it~"
