The Monkey King wanted to have his cake and eat it too. He wanted to use Sylas' intelligence to figure out the last pieces of the puzzle for himself, then kill Sylas and take the solution for himself at the same time.
But even by his estimations of Sylas, Sylas returned to the past far earlier than he expected.
Yet, the Monkey King didn't panic. If he didn't get what he wanted out of the battlefield, that was fine. He would just set that matter aside and focus on killing Sylas. That was his top priority.
Unfortunately, he had just shown Sylas far too much.
It confirmed one very important thing for Sylas. The Monkey King feared those flames as well.
The only question was… why?
The Madness System shouldn't be what was targeting the Monkey King, right? It didn't quite make sense. The Madness System almost seemed built specifically for the Madness Sovereigns.
That was when the Monkey King was so kind to present to him the final piece of the puzzle.
Champion Will.
