Morgan continued with a smile on his face, "The passing of the former Grand Worm, Azra, has led to a new round of changes in the hierarchy within the True Worm Sect..." His voice carried a subtle excitement, as if describing the beginning of a great transformation. "And the First Worm, Kukulcan-chiu, will naturally become the next Grand Worm of the True Worm Sect, making the Breeding Palace on his planet, Orlando Star, the next true worm sanctuary..." Morgan's words hinted at deeper meanings, revealing an imminent power shift and status reshaping within the True Worm Sect.
Alex keenly sensed the underlying implications in Morgan's words, and his intuition told him that Morgan's request was anything but simple. So, he cut to the chase, challenging Morgan by saying, "Oh... I see, you want me to kill him... so you can take his place, right?" Alex's tone was filled with distrust and skepticism, and his gaze was sharp as he tried to find confirmation in Morgan's reaction.
This direct questioning not only strikes at the core of Morgan's commission, but also exposes Alex's deep suspicion of Morgan and their motives. If Morgan's plan is indeed as Alex claims, it involves a fierce political struggle for power within the True Worm Sect.
Upon hearing Alex's blunt questioning, Morgan simply smiled lightly, a smile that seemed to carry a hint of tacit approval, or perhaps a mixture of disdain and confidence in response to Alex's direct accusation. Alex, unable to conceal his sarcasm, also smiled, but his laughter was filled with contempt and disdain: "Oh... I never thought the True Worm Sect would be so... filthy, resorting to assassination to seek higher positions... Tsk tsk tsk..."
Morgan responded with a smile, not at all angry, but rather with a relaxed attitude, as if enjoying the intellectual game: "You're wrong, Mr. Alex. You don't understand the factional power in our church..." His voice carried a hint of playfulness, suggesting that the power struggle within the True Worm Sect was far more complex than Alex imagined. Morgan's words not only directly refuted Alex's viewpoint, but also hinted at the intricate political landscape within the True Worm Sect, as well as the possibility that his role in this game may be far more complicated than it seemed on the surface.
Morgan explained with a smile, "In the Great Worm Masters... Kukulcan and I have the highest prestige, and among the five Great Worm Masters, there are three from the same faction as me, so... such actions... at best, can be considered as the will of the people, and the popular choice, right?" His voice revealed a hint of pride, seemingly proud of the advantageous position he held within the True Worm Sect. After speaking, Morgan couldn't help but smile, a laughter filled with anticipation and confidence for the upcoming change.
Alex listened to Morgan's explanation, full of calculation and ambition, and couldn't help but sneer. He quickly evaluated Morgan's strategy and confidence, while feeling disdain for this kind of power play within the religious organization. Alex's sneer was not only a mockery of Morgan's argument of "the will of the people, the expectation of the public," but also a criticism of the internal political struggles within the True Worm Sect.
Alex raised a crucial question, "But you still have a second Great Worm Master ahead of you. Even if I help you kill the first one, he will become the next successor... hasn't your plan failed?" This statement directly pointed out the potential flaw in Morgan's plan, showing that Alex was not an easily persuaded person.
Morgan just smiled at this, as if he had been prepared for it. He explained, "You don't need to worry about this. The second big worm, Santosh Pujari, is a complete... coward. He usually just listens to Kukulcan. As long as Kukulcan is gone, this idiot will feel the biggest power in the faction disappear... and he won't need to do anything, he will naturally leave in a hurry... Although he is a fool... when it comes to danger and escape, he is the first." Morgan's words reveal a deep understanding of Santosh Pujari's character and demonstrate his precise control over the entire situation. His strategy is not only aimed at Kukulcan, but also delves into the dynamics of the internal factions of the True Worm Sect and the psychological states of individual members.
This explanation gave Alex a deeper understanding of Morgan's plan and forced him to acknowledge the depth of Morgan's strategy and his exploitation of human weaknesses. Morgan's confidence and meticulous strategy once again reinforced his position in this power game, while also making Alex realize that the mission involving the power struggle among the high-ranking members of the True Worm Sect is much more complex than it appears on the surface.
Alex nodded slightly, indicating some agreement, and then raised further questions: "Indeed... what you said makes sense, but how can you be sure that Santosh Pujari will proceed as you said? Perhaps Kukulcan's faction will support him instead of allowing you to easily inherit power, right?" Alex's words revealed his deep consideration of Morgan's plan and also showed his understanding of the internal power structure of the True Worm Sect.
Morgan leaned back in his chair, seeming to have his own views and calculations on this issue. He slowly spoke, "In this case... Kukulcan's power mainly comes from the grand palace he is responsible for, the Breeding Palace. You should be aware that the five Grand Wormlords are each in charge of the five palaces representing the insect colonies: Breeding, Gathering, Endless, Selfless, and Altruistic." Morgan's explanation not only revealed the organizational structure of the True Worm Sect, but also hinted at the limitations of Kukulcan's power. His words seemed to imply a certain confidence that, despite Kukulcan's power base, within the overall framework of the True Worm Sect, this power is limited, especially under the power balance and mutual checks among the Grand Wormlords.
