There was a reason why Gideon chose a town in the most remote part of the Northern region for the demon sacrifice of all the towns in the five regions, it was because it would be easier for him to erase all the evidence of his deeds without raising the suspicions of the authorities that would come to investigate the disappearance of an entire town full of more than a hundred thousand people.
Of course, the authorities will check if there was any malpractice in the array formation for it to suddenly stop working after working for several decades without any problem. Knowing Gideon, he would have covered his tracks there as well. Bringing all the investigations to the same conclusion, a town full of more than a hundred thousand people tragically froze because of an accident.
Gideon was very good at covering his tracks, even when killing mortals he did not get arrogant and sloppy thinking who would care if a bunch of mortals were dead? Instead, he continued to stick to his overcautious side and planned a perfect coverup. No wonder no one was ever aware of his existence in the Clown Mask's future vision.
Someone so diligent and meticulous made a very dangerous enemy. This was why Wyatt was reluctant to call devil merchant Muth Diya and blackmail him to stop the human sacrifice. If devil merchant Muth Diya were to suddenly call off the human sacrifice Gideon Grim would definitely get suspicious. Not to mention since has mobilized a dozen demigod Incarnations to capture an entire town, even if Muth Diya changes his mind about human sacrifice, Gideon will still kill the entire town to hide his tracks.
So calling devil merchant Muth Diya to call off the human sacrifice was not only of no use but also a destructive move. Until now, nobody from the Seven Princes of Hell faction knows what the Chaos Dwarf Ezra actually wants, calling Muth Diya to spare the humans was like handing Muth Diya a thread to unwind the entire web of mystery surrounding Chaos Dwarf Ezra.
Wyatt had long understood that he could not do anything to stop the death of the town that Gideon had frozen for the human sacrifice. Wyatt could give up on his calamity daughter gem Cuth Diya and kill him but killing Cuth Diya would not stop the demise of the townspeople as Gideon would end up killing them to hide his track anyway. Stopping Muth Diya or Cuth Diya was not going to save the townspeople, only by stopping Gideon Grim could Wyatt truly save the townspeople.
Blackmailing Muth Diya to kill Gideon Grim would also not save the townspeople as Gideon Grim acting as his guide was just one of Gideon's many incarnations. This way Wyatt will not only be not able to save the townspeople but lose a good pawn like Muth Diya.
Regardless of which angle Wyatt looked at this scenario to come up with a solution for the problem, it would always end up with Gideon Grim killing the townspeople to cover his track. It was starting to seem as if this problem was not something even Wyatt could solve. Wyatt was delusional when he thought that he could save more than a hundred thousand townspeople in the remote part of the Northern Region from the Southern region.
