User blog comment:Nekokokokoko/Slane Theocracry's view of Momon/@comment-26952857-20160904010522

here a art of the conversation of the higher ups of the slane theocracy from the intermission of vlume 10    “Let’s consider the Sorcerer King first. To begin with, he should have been the one who destroyed the Sunlight Scripture, some time back.” The air seemed to crackle and freeze. “A magic caster with that name appeared in a nearby village with that name at almost the same time. I don’t think we’re mistaken, are we?” “What about the Vampire that the Black Scripture encountered? A minion of the Sorcerer King?” “It’s very possible, but I think it’s more likely that it was a being on the same level as the Sorcerer King, just like those people. Otherwise there’s no way to explain that power.” “Indeed, so since we’re on the topic of multiple appearances, Jaldabaoth ought to be such a being, right? That would explain the power he wielded in the Kingdom, as well as the reason for a monster with that sort of power appearing all of a sudden.” “Then how about Momon? He seems to have been chasing that Vampire, but if that prediction is correct, he should be a similar entity to the Sorcerer King. That would also explain why he was as strong as Jaldabaoth. The question is whether or not he’s an ally of the Sorcerer King…” “Momon slew the Vampire and stood against Jaldabaoth. Given that they might be the same manner of creature yet opposing each other, it’s possible that they might still have been enemies then? After that, he negotiated a truce with the Sorcerer King and became his ally.” “Then there’s only the question of why he killed the Vampire and opposed the Sorcerer King. Perhaps he killed it because it was controlled by the Supreme Treasure. Still, why would he oppose Jaldabaoth? ...If Momon was a comrade of the Sorcerer King, in what sort of scenario would he be Jaldabaoth’s enemy?” “...Perhaps the Vampire and Jaldabaoth were working together, while the Sorcerer King and Momon were allied. Or there might be one where the Vampire, Jaldabaoth, the Sorcerer King and Momon were all enemies. There are also other possibilities. But there’s too little information to tell.” “The worst-case scenario is all four of them being on the same side, but the likelihood of that is very low. Momon is too humble. Normally, someone with that much strength would flash it around much more. Yes, just like the Eight Greed Kings. Or perhaps, like our Gods.” “I see. So the reason why he did not do that was because he was on the lookout for others. No, perhaps he was being watchful for others on the same level as him.” “Then, since the Sorcerer King has taken the stage and begun building his nation, someone will be taking action to make up for the difference in fighting power. If Momon’s words are to be trusted, Honyopenyoko has a companion. We have to watch out for it, as well as Jaldabaoth.” “This is all just conjecture at the moment. We just need to think about making contact with the Sorcerer King or Momon.” “It’s too risky. It’s far too risky. We should instead go to the Empire and gain information from the people there, and then make contact with the Emperor.” “That would be good, as long as the Emperor doesn’t wag his tail for the Sorcerer-King, that is.”  “It’s a gamble, but it can’t be helped. If we do nothing but cower in a corner, we’ll end up having to play catch-up with others.” “Still, when you say a gamble… how much of a gamble? If we mess it up, it’ll become a casus belli to attack us, no? We should try to understand the Emperor’s stance on the matter before making contact.”
