Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 90

To the Port City, Urona! Part-3.
In the sky, inside a private airplane.

“So, what did they decide to do about him?”

While gazing outside from the small window, Jareth asked the question in his usual cold voice.

Thomas, who was sitting right beside him, calmly replied to Jareth’s question.

“They decided to leave ‘him’ as is…”

At those words, Jareth nodded his head a bit while contemplating in his mind,

‘So, they have decided not to bother themselves with Nathan’s situation? What a clever move…’

Jareth couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration for the decision-makers in the government.

They did not take any proactive measures to prevent the people from expressing their anger towards Nathan and the university, nor did they take any interest in the ‘Death Cage’.

By not bothering to find solutions for the ‘Death Cage’, the government has shown the world that they aren’t on Nathan’s side.

But they also didn’t get involved in the protests carried out by common people, and not even a single politician came forward to say bad things about Nathan.

This simply shows that the government has taken a perfectly neutral stance.

They are currently avoiding offending the general populace as well as planning for the future.

If Nathan manages to escape the “Death Cage,” the government can claim that they never backed the general public and that the people’s wrath prevented them from rescuing him.

Even Nathan will have no evidence that the government is against him.

In other words, the government is planning on not taking both sides; neither are they supporting the general populace nor are they on Nathan’s side.

They’ve abandoned both parties.

‘But this also shows that the government is filled with pessimistic people who just want to maintain the current stalemate and never want any change…’

The politicians who are in power want the human nation to remain as stable and peaceful as possible.

If some major incident happens during their rule, then they will not be elected again.

Currently, the nation is peaceful, and there are no wars or anything; they just want this to continue.

Although this is not a bad idea, this idea can only work in a peaceful world where everyone is an ordinary person.

This world is filled with supernatural powers and beings that can destroy nations at will.

This current peaceful state would have indeed been a very beneficial thing for a nation in Jareth’s previous life, but this world is not the same.

Not to mention that a single grade-1 mage can lay waste to many cities in a single day, and not even nuclear weapons can stop them.

There’s no knowing how many powerful beasts wander in the wilderness outside the range of the human empire.

If the human race never progresses out of this stalemate, they will eventually collapse like every nation in history has.

‘But the prosperity of this nation has nothing to do with me… All I want to do is find answers to my questions…’

Jareth now has a goal in mind; he wants to find out everything about himself.

…

Just when Jareth was busy contemplating in his mind, Thomas suddenly asked in a calm voice,

“Do you think he has any chance of escaping that ‘Death Cage’?”

At Thomas’s question, Jareth just shook his head.

“Unless a power above grade 1 gets involved, I don’t think he can break out of that place… Even I don’t think I will be able to exit that place, much less him…”

The ‘Death Cage’ is made up of the power of souls.

Jareth may have amazing mana control and everything, but he doesn’t have any control over soul power.

The ‘Death Cage’ is a looped space confinement; your mana will spin in loops continuously if you try to embed it in the ‘Death Cage’.

It created a folded space in the space-time fabric, and nothing can get through that looped space-time fabric.

“I think the only way to escape a ‘Death Cage’ is by shattering the space-time fabric itself and creating an alternate exit through the nothingness produced by the shattered space-time fabric…”

Upon hearing Jareth’s words, Thomas chuckled slightly and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

“Haha, shattering the space-time fabric itself? That’s a very bold idea… Not even peak grade 1 mages can do such a thing easily…”

“And you even want to create an alternate way from the ‘nothingness’, that’s such an insane feat…”

Thomas glanced at Jareth and said in a solemn tone,

“If a being who is capable of doing such an insane thing exists in this world, then… they can probably already be considered ‘Demi-Gods’, I think…”

At Thomas’s solemn tone, Jareth nodded his head.

“Yeah, the power to influence the space-time fabric at will, the power to interfere with the laws of the world… that can really be considered the ability of a true ‘Demi-god’…”

The more Jareth spoke, the more solemn Thomas’s expression became.

“So, what you are trying to say is… that the demon god of that False Dome cult might try to lure Nathan into his group in exchange for liberating him from that ‘Death Cage’?”

Jareth and the others don’t know that the demon god of the ‘False Dome’ cult is still recovering due to the last event and can’t do all this yet.

But after considering the situation up to this point, Thomas was already experiencing a sense of ominousness.

Jareth stared into Thomas’s eyes and said,

“I am not sure if it’s possible, but… for now, we have no way out of it…”

Rahnan had accepted that he hated Abella and Nathan; he cursed at them both, and Shin and Thomas had heard him do so with their own ears.

Therefore, it can be assumed that Rahnan will not agree to Nathan’s unsealing, but there is no certainty.

Rahnan has corrupted Abella with miasma before, and he might be able to do the same to Nathan too.

This will undoubtedly enhance the influence of the ‘False Dome’ cult.

Although Jareth and Thomas were already considering this as the worst-case scenario, they were not sure if it would happen or not.

And even if they were hundred-percent sure that this would happen, they have no way of stopping it.

Thomas sighed and said in a solemn voice,

“If such an entity interferes with the Death Cage… we won’t even notice anything before it’s too late… This is a ticking time bomb…”

The death cage is invisible to the naked eye.

People below grade 2 can’t even see or feel it.

Even if they were flying in the sky, they would pass right through the place where the Death Cage is located, because not even a Grade 1 individual can interact with that cage from the outside.

“Well, I am not really worried about his strength or the powers he may have; what I am concerned about is that Nathan knows too much…”
