Door of the PastChapter 424: Door of the Past

As the faint gray mist faded away, Alger's will returned to the ghost ship. He closed his eyes and frowned.

He was considering whether to stay away from the Church of Storms. The words that Mr. Fool had just said to him contained too much information, and some of them were actually true... horrifying.

Even though this statement was made by Mr. Fool, he still couldn't believe it:

——"The Lord of Storms is about to fall."

…

Miss Justice watched the gray fog gradually dissipate before her eyes. She stood up nervously and asked the servants to leave the garden. She was waiting for Mr. World to come.

Just now, Mr. Fool announced a piece of news: The World is already one of the angels under the Fool, and handed over a Grade 0 seal representing the Fool to the World.

After making preparations, Audrey began to pray slowly. This time, she chanted the honorific name of Mr. World:

"Key to the Gray Door, Favored One of the Yellow and Black Kings, Star-mover of All Terrors."

"The great 'Angel of Punishment' Gehrman Sparrow."

In order to distinguish his various identities, after much hesitation, Klein decided to give the identity of the "Angel of Punishment" to his clone, Gehrman Sparrow. And in order to make the last sentence of this honorable title valid, Klein also deliberately asked his clone to temporarily move an asteroid to the border of the starry sky with the help of the High-Dimensional Overlooker.

At the same time, under the authority of the "Gate", this asteroid is also a small shelter for Klein. Without positioning, even the Outer Gods would find it difficult to find a star in the vast sea of ​​stars.

God knows why the scriptures submitted by the City of Silver turned out like that after he decided to spread his faith and changed the identity of The Fool in the outside world...

"My Lord's name is 'Secret'. The Lord's name cannot be mentioned, but by the Lord's mercy, I allow mortals to pray with this secret name."

"In the past, in the present, and in the future, he is the great ruler who controls the spiritual world, the yellow and black king who controls good luck, and the beacon for every living being to pursue eternity."

"He is merciful, the King of ancient times; He lets us call him 'He' instead of 'Him'. The Lord does not care what we call Him, but He was born to be the Savior of this world, not a god."

"Beside the Lord, there is..."

Honestly, Klein was unable to read the mysterious canon submitted by Mr. Sun. Apart from changing all the names of "he" in the canon to "he", Klein only carefully checked whether there were any descriptions in the canon that matched Amon. Although there were many angels described in it, all those that had any connection with Amon were rejected by Klein and rewritten.

However, the content of this canon was still difficult for Klein to accept:

It describes eight angels, including "Death," "Mercury," and "Punishment." Klein never found out the prototypes of these angels until the very end. However, adhering to the principle of not competing with the real Creator for angels, Klein still changed several angels with obvious prototypes into his own clones.

For example, the "Mercury Angel" of the City of Silver according to Ouroboros's writing and the "Angel of Punishment" according to Medici's writing… ahem, Klein never figured out why these two angels from the neighboring Church of the Creator were assigned to him. Moreover, Klein didn't think he had many angels with whom he had a close relationship, and he couldn't find all eight.

Those around him are obviously the true gods and the Old Ones.

Of course, Klein also plans to hand over the identities of some of the angels recorded in the scriptures to the angels who are closely related to him after the church is officially established. Some of them need anchors, such as Pales Zoroast; some do not lack anchors, but need to cooperate with the "Mysterious Church" - referring to the original "Mr. Door", Bethel Abraham.

However, there was one thing that puzzled Klein. He didn't know why the name "Klein Moretti" was written on the "Angel of Death" in his own scriptures. However, considering the tolerance of Benson and Melissa in the Silver City, and the part of himself that belonged to Moretti also needed an anchor, Klein gave up.

The high-dimensional observer also said that he did not know why the little "Sun" thought Klein Moretti was the "Angel of Death", which made people laugh. (Note 1)

After Miss Justice Audrey finished her prayer, Klein quickly sensed Audrey's location. Unlike any previous time, the Star Key gave Klein an unprecedented positioning ability, allowing this area to "light up" in front of Klein again.

The scene here, every flower in the garden, every tiny speck of dust in the air, and Miss Justice who was waiting for him to appear—ahem, all these scenes were perfectly reproduced in Klein's mind after his thoughts touched there. (Note 2)

The place that Klein sensed was like an extension of Klein's body.

"Is this the positioning authority of the 'Gate' path? High-sequence 'Gates' are indeed terrifying. Although I have not become a true god of the 'Gate' path, I also have a feeling that I can directly annihilate the space there according to the positioning just now - hiss, what is this, hitting people along the network cable?"

Klein muttered to himself, and the next time his thoughts touched the scene in his mind, without any process or fancy special effects, his body appeared in that place out of thin air. Unlike his previous ability which needed to be activated, this ability has now almost become Klein's instinct.

If he wanted, he could even make himself appear in countless places at the same time.

Audrey, who was originally waiting for the light gate to open - just like the scene when she asked Mr. Fool for a gift, was startled when she saw Mr. World suddenly appear in front of her - she didn't expect that the "world" would appear so quickly and suddenly.

Is this also the reason why Mr. Fool asked the World to respond to us on His behalf? Audrey tapped her chin and greeted Mr. World modestly:

"Good afternoon, Mr. World."

"We are like-minded." Klein maintained the stereotype of Gehrman Sparrow. Although he did not need to play the role of a secret puppet, he still did so out of habit. "Miss Justice, you don't have to be so reserved. We have worked together for a long time, right?"

"That's true… However, when I thought about you coming here on behalf of Mr. Fool, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. In fact, when Mr. Fool told me that my contributions had accumulated enough to be promoted to a demigod, I was actually a little bit incredulous…"

Audrey didn't expect that she could become a demigod so quickly.

"After all, you faced Amon directly." Klein laughed hoarsely, "This is the reward you deserve, isn't it? For Mr. Fool, it's not difficult to obtain the characteristics of a Manipulator. As of now, the Church of the Creator, the Church of Evernight, and the Church of Truth are all our solid allies."

The characteristics of a "manipulator" are not difficult to obtain. Klein asked the High-Dimensional Overlooker for the extraordinary characteristics of "Arrogant" Hvin Rambis from the "Psychological Alchemist Society", and then exchanged them for the auxiliary materials of the "manipulator" from the Church of the Creator.

Audrey hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Then, the ritual of the Manipulator..."

The "manipulator" requires the user to take the potion in a special place with at least 10,000 people, in the midst of their huge emotional resonance. Such a ceremony is obviously difficult for Audrey to prepare - if it were a wild "audience", it might be possible to hypnotize a group of ordinary people and then quietly ascend. But Audrey was unwilling to use such a method.

"Don't worry about that. When Mr. Fool gave the order, I had already arranged for Adolf to prepare a speech in the Republic of Loen. In this speech, I will announce new laws, and those who will participate in the main venue are the beneficiaries of these laws."

This action can attract more anchors for Adolf to help Klein stabilize his own state; at the same time, it can also allow Miss Justice to complete her ritual. With the power of a country, such a ritual is so simple that it cannot be simpler.

Klein seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head slightly and looked into Audrey's gem-like eyes.

"What kind of Beyonders have you released now? These are cross-sequence promotions. These souls may have some additional impact on your promotion."

"One is 'Joy', one is 'Devil', and the other is 'Swindler'. This is an incarnation of Amon, and Mr. 'White Tower' captured it for me... I only herded these three souls."

"Amon's clone... that does require some attention. I will help you pray to Mr. Fool for his power and ask him to examine you to ensure that Amon will not use his clone to find you. There is nothing else to pay attention to. However, when the time comes, the soul you herd may ask you to examine your own heart."

"After all, you are an extraordinary person who jumped from a 'shepherd' to a 'manipulator'. It is hard to imagine what impact the combination of the two will have on your promotion ceremony."

Klein whispered, "But it shouldn't be a problem for you."

The Beyonders that Audrey was herding now were all extremely evil, and would not allow Audrey's ritual to change malignantly due to her imbalanced mentality. After all, Audrey had a bit too much conscience compared to other "shepherds" - of course, compared to those "shepherds" before the real Creator went crazy.

Now, the "shepherds" who are formally organized by the Aurora Society are all moral tyrants. They are extremely paranoid and most of them carry out the contents of the Holy Scriptures of the True Creator in an extreme way.

"Mr. World, when will your speech start?"

Klein's lips curled up into a playful smile: "Two hours later."

He raised his wrist, and as he moved, a mechanical watch that Audrey had never seen before suddenly appeared there: "You still have time to prepare now. When the time comes, I will help you prepare the potion, and you can start trying to complete your promotion ceremony."

"I will assist you in completing your promotion ceremony at that time. You don't have to worry about losing control in a place crowded with ordinary people."

…

Sharon stood quietly at the intersection of a coastal city in the south of the southern continent. She was silent, like an eternal statue.

After a while, a figure holding four golden-haired heads appeared out of thin air. Sharon turned her head and looked at the newcomer with a delicate face that looked like it was carefully carved by a top puppet master.

She spoke slowly:

"Teacher."

"Mr. Fool... will you participate... this time...?"

The four heads of Renette Tinicole spoke one after another. The last head in her hand finally finished speaking the last word of the sentence at once, looking extremely happy.

Sharon turned her eyes away from Renette's last head:

"That's what Mr. World said."

"He represents Mr. Fool's incarnation outside, and represents the incarnation called the Gate of the Old Days to participate in the Rose School's siege of the 'Divine Evil' Sear."

Renette seemed relieved: "That...that's...good."

The head that was held last seemed very unhappy, so after a moment it spoke first:

"The Door of the Old Ones?"

Now there are three unhappy heads.

Sharon said,

"That's what Mr. Fool said."

"Due to the existence of Amon, He changed His honorific name in the outside world."

All four of Reinette's heads looked at Sharon at the same time, and Sharon answered briefly:

"The Old Gate that Solidified Chaos;"

"The great master above the gray fog;"

"The yellow and black king who controls good luck." (Note 3)

After reading the current honorific name of The Fool in a language without supernatural power, Sharon fell silent again, waiting for her teacher's answer. And after a moment of silence, Renette Tinicole spoke again:

"I have talked to... God..."

"God... is willing... to submit to... the Lord of Gray Mist..." (Note 4)

Sharon's pupils contracted slightly, and for a moment she didn't react to her teacher's words.

The "God" that Renette was referring to was obviously the "Bound God", which was also the belief of the entire Highland Kingdom.

And Reinette hadn't finished her words: "As long as... Guimi... is willing... to help Him..."

Sharon took a deep breath:

"I understand. I will communicate with Mr. World and Mr. Fool."

"No need." Just as Sharon said this, a voice came. Klein had appeared in front of the two of them without them knowing when:

"I am here to represent the will of Mr. FoolCooperationChapter 425 Cooperation

Klein stood in front of the two with a serious look. Sharon on the side lifted her skirt with both hands and saluted Klein:

"Dear Mr. World."

A breeze from the southern continental plateau brushed past the two of them, rustling the grass on the ground.

"I bring the will of Mr. Fool," Klein said solemnly. "Mr. Fool is now fighting against Amon. I represent Mr. Fool and cooperate with the Bound One."

He expressed his meaning cryptically - he said that Mr. Fool was willing to support the Bound God in becoming a true god.

As for Mr. Fool's plenipotentiary representative... didn't you see that Mr. Fool was still working diligently here?

"Please... come with me."

Reinette was silent for a moment, and entered the spirit world first. She had just asked the gods who cared for her, and received an unexpected message.

…

On the square of the Loen Republic, a crowd gathered together, crowded in the square and looked at the head of state Adolf Hill, who was standing on the podium with a resolute look on his face.

He stood tall, wearing a plain but perfectly ironed uniform:

"...In summary, our country will begin cooperation with the Intis Empire, which will bring more convenient living conditions and living standards to everyone."

"We will start construction of the Loen-Intis telegraph line in the first week of next month..."

In a corner of the square, Audrey hid in the shadows and quietly watched everyone present. The people here were wearing uniform clothes and listening to the head of state's speech.

Audrey could vaguely sense the enthusiasm among the crowd. They were originally poor people from the East District, and it was the President who gave them the opportunity to have a new life. This group of people was highly compatible with Klein's current policies, so they were arranged here.

This is the leader they support.

——This is their God.

He undoubtedly used their beliefs to provide himself with resources and power, but the benefits they received were practical. Audrey thought to herself:

"Mr. World's approach is not much different from the former Church of Storm and Church of Night. But the changes he brought to these people are huge..."

"They originally couldn't see the future, but now they can see the next few years. With the support of Mr. World, they can gradually see the next few decades. Although it is different from those scholars and Beyonders, it is also good. It is the best development trend now..."

"At least, they are happy in their hearts, and they think that life is getting better and better..."

Audrey held a bottle of prepared potion in her hand, and she put it to her lips and drank it in small sips. Immediately, the liquid in the bottle slid down her throat like a solidified solid, and soaked into Audrey's body.

Under the effect of the "audience" potion, one face after another appeared in front of Audrey. These were the faces of the original East End residents she had seen, and those who died in the war.

She felt hard scales emerging from her body, and shadows flowing between the scales - she immediately realized that this was the form of a mythical creature that resulted from the combination of "The Hanged Man" and "The Audience".

The power of the shadow spread throughout her body, and Audrey suddenly had a premonition: as long as the shadow touched ordinary people in the distance, they would be herded by her in an instant and turned into souls that would wander forever in her body.

Not only that, in the "real illusion" brought by the potion, Audrey saw three figures in her body being "burned" by shadows:

It was the witch of joy with half of her face intact and the other half showing the skeleton; it was the demon whose soul was pierced by shadows and whose eyes showed hatred; it was Amon whose body was twisted and folded and imprisoned by gray fog.

These were the extraordinary people she had herded.

However, Audrey's spirit was quite firm at the moment: she was not ashamed of her own heart. The souls of the first two Beyonders she herded were Beyonders who wanted to kill her during the war between Feysac and Loen, and who knew how many ordinary people they had slaughtered and killed; and the last one she herded was Amon's clone, who was the enemy of Mr. Fool.

If there were innocent Beyonders among the people she was herding, then Audrey, a "manipulator" whose moral standards were higher than those of most "shepherds", would most likely collapse and lose control at this moment because she could not face her own heart. But now Audrey did not have to worry about this. The only obstacle to her promotion was to divide her mind to prevent her uncontrolled power from harming ordinary people.

After experiencing the brutal war, Audrey became more like a bishop with firm beliefs and a strong-willed warrior than the weak noble girl she was before.

She longed for the power that the potion would bring her. Only with power could she exercise the justice she wanted, just like the code name Audrey chose for herself when she joined the Tarot Club.

There is no doubt that "justice" is a difficult path, but Audrey's parents chose to teach her what justice is when she was young; Mr. Fool, the guide who took her into the extraordinary world, chose to protect the lives of ordinary people; her teacher Mr. World also chose this path.

Now, Audrey has also firmly embarked on this path.

"You can rest assured to get promoted."

Just a moment later, a hazy color appeared in front of Audrey. With the combination of the "Fool" and "Door" abilities, Klein created an effect similar to "stealth."

But unlike "secret", Klein "grafted" the inside and outside of this hidden space together. He did this with the help of the seal solidified by the extraordinary characteristics of the "Secret Servant" that he bestowed on himself - at least now he did not have the extra energy to digest the sequence one characteristics of an adjacent path.

Endless shadows surged in this hidden space. After what the "world" did, Audrey gave up controlling the shadows. She believed in Mr. "world". The appearance of Mr. "world" brought her a sense of security, so that Audrey did not have to worry about whether she would hurt the civilians around her during the promotion process.

And at this moment, highly similar wishes arise spontaneously - this is the expectation of more than ten thousand people for the future, and it is the spiritual resonance of more than ten thousand "subconscious islands".

Audrey took a deep breath, and a sense of divinity emerged in her will. The resonance of the ceremony and the most important emotions played by several close people helped her calm her divinity.

That's all. Sequence 4 Beyonders don't need an anchor. Just a little bit of strong emotion is enough to complete the ritual. Otherwise, divinity will completely erase humanity.

After a moment, Audrey took all the shadows around her back into her body.

She spoke softly,

"Mr. 'World'."

"My promotion was successful."

...

Audrey's promotion is complete... I wonder what the mythical creature that combines the "Hanged Man" and the "Audience" looks like?

Klein's body was flashing at a high speed that was invisible to the naked eye. He was now in the spirit world and the real world at the same time. He waved his hand to remove the concealment of the space around Audrey, and followed Renette Tinicole out of the spirit world.

After appearing in the real world, he was a little surprised. This was a valley, a very ordinary valley, and on the coast there was a mountain wall that looked like a tsunami.

Klein sensed a hint of curse from this huge stone that looked like a mountain range. This was part of the authority of the Bound One. As the King of Angels who held the uniqueness of this path, if it weren't for the Mother Tree of Desire, Tolzna wouldn't have fallen into such a situation.

Klein's figure slowly emerged from the spiritual world. He looked at the people working on the coast, who looked like ants when viewed from high above, and sighed slowly.

"These are ordinary people who were originally under the rule of the Indulgence Faction of the Rose School. Most of them were originally residents of several kingdoms in the southern continent. Some of them did not want to change their beliefs and came here from the south, while some of them came here because of the oppression from the original countries such as Loen and Intis and joined the Rose School."

"Among them, there are low-sequence 'prisoners' and 'lunatics', but they have not completely lost their human sanity."

Sharon, who came with Renette, spoke a few more words for the first time.

Klein was speechless - his incarnation was the leader of Loen, and Klein's father died in the war in the southern continent. After merging with Moretti, Klein's feelings for his family became stronger, and after hearing about the plight of these indigenous people in the southern continent, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Are the ordinary people of Loen at fault? Are the residents of the Southern Continent at fault? They are all right. The ones who are at fault are never the civilians, but the conspirators who started the war.

The colonial war was an unjust war, but those who were wrong in the war were always the conspirators who benefited, not the civilians of the two countries.

Even ordinary soldiers were not wrong. They could only move forward, just machines called "human beings" who could not think and had no thoughts - this was war.

The three of them walked forward like ordinary people, and they soon came to a temple built of stones along a winding path. The gaps between the stones were filled with some sticky liquid, which supported this small temple.

Klein remained silent, maintaining the appearance of Gehrman Sparrow as he walked into the temple. He saw Tolzner sitting in the depths of the temple—relatively speaking—and bowed slightly.

"Hello."

Klein maintained the most basic courtesy and spoke to Tolzner. Tolzner looked at Klein in front of him and felt that his status was equal to his own - was this the messenger of The Fool?

An "Angel King" of this path serves as His agent in the real world... or perhaps His vessel?

Tolzner sighed a little first, and let Renette and Sharon leave this small temple. This was a kind of protection for the two of them.

After all, Renette still hadn't fully recovered her angelic power and status, and Sharon was only at Sequence 4. In the absence of protection, neither of them could know too much about what was happening in the starry sky.

"The Gate of the Old Days" - this incarnation name obviously reminded Tolzner of the years when he and the Mother Tree of Desire were entangled, and the bandages on his body were wrapped a little tighter.

Klein explained,

"Mr. Fool sealed the memories of his followers."

"In order to guard against Amon, he decided to change his honorific name outside. For ordinary people, using the old name will not make them associate the starry sky with them - they do not have the conditions to know the starry sky."

So that's what's going on. Tolzner immediately understood. He stood up and said to Klein in a hoarse voice,

"I hope to gain the support of Mr. Fool."

He came straight to the point without any further probing.

This is because Tolzner knows that what exists between gods is more of an exchange of interests. He participated in the Redemption of Rose and witnessed the ancient sun god being torn apart by three true gods. Now, of the three former angel kings, only one is left, and his situation is equally embarrassing.

With hungry tigers surrounding him, if the Lord of Storm wants to cut off his tail and survive, he can only attack the southern continent.

The fate of the Eternal Blazing Sun is a lesson for us. All that is left for Leodro is death or surrender - but before the last step, he dare not bet on the mercy of the true Creator.

Who is the soft persimmon that can be squeezed in the southern continent? Only Him - after waking up, Tolzner carefully investigated the current situation of the southern continent and found that the country to the north of him was established by the true creator, while the faith in the god of death returned to the east of him.

This made Tolzna feel the disparity in the world - when he was the god of spiritual creatures, Salinger was just the god of the dead, Chik and the god of craftsmen, and he was not even a god at that time - but now Salinger has died once, and the other two have become true gods.

The only thing is that because of the Mother Tree of Desire, his status even fell a little, and a part of his "divine evil" was taken away by Sua, so he never had the opportunity to become a god.

The second reason is that Tolzner is in a very bad state now. He has few followers left and has been contaminated by the Outer Gods for a long time. Even though the Mother Tree of Desire has taken back all its power, allowing him and the dark side of the universe to escape from being controlled, this also makes him extremely lack of anchor and on the verge of losing control at any time.

If it weren't for the "Prisoner" path's ability to endure and bear curses, he would have been out of control long ago.

"I am willing to lead the Rose School to become the messenger of Mr. Fool and the angel under his seat. I only hope that Mr. Fool can give me a part of the anchor so that I can bring my people under protection."

Tolzner said in a hoarse voice:

"...They have been waiting for me for a long time. It is time for these people of the Highland Kingdom to go homeThe Old ChurchChapter 426:

Audrey of the Old Church walked out slowly from the shadows. She took a deep breath, and suddenly her "presence" disappeared in the eyes of others.

This is the effect of "psychological invisibility".

Is this the feeling of gaining divinity and stepping into the realm of demigod... Audrey felt that her current emotions were not as excited as she had imagined. She exhaled the air she had just inhaled, and her pupils stood up and turned a light golden color.

She looked at the ordinary people around her and found that although most of them had the same resonant emotions, there were also a few who had strong "degenerate" thoughts.

Just as Audrey was thinking about whether to mark all these people and then hand them over to Mr. World to deal with, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.

Mr. World, you are really scary like this... Audrey muttered to herself, but she saw the World speak:

"Go to the Church of Night."

After saying this, Mr. World disappeared from the spot, but the next moment he seemed to feel something was wrong and opened a light door at the spot.

This made Audrey want to laugh, but she still tiptoed and stepped into the light door. The next moment, her figure reappeared in a room behind the church of the Church of Night.

The first thing that caught Audrey's eyes was the simple wooden structure and the holy emblem of the goddess of night. The metal lamp holders flickered with faint flames, illuminating the entire room.

There were three people standing in this room, two of whom were Beyonders who Audrey knew and held high positions in the Church of Darkness in Backlund. One was Anthony Stevenson, the Archbishop of the Backlund Diocese, and the other was Mr. "World" - strictly speaking, another identity of Mr. "World", Sherlock Moriarty.

The last one was a barefoot lady wearing a simple robe, a bark belt, and long black hair. After seeing Audrey appear in the room, He slowly raised his head and looked at Audrey with deep eyes.

"This is Lady Arianna, the ascetic of the goddess, the goddess's favored one."

Klein introduced the identity of Ms. Arianna to Audrey. When Audrey heard that Ms. Arianna was the follower of the goddess of night whom she had always believed in, she was obviously a little terrified and quickly saluted:

"Hello, Lady Arianna."

"No need to be so polite." Arianna said to Audrey. There was a hint of trance in her tone. Audrey suddenly felt that Arianna in front of her was like an empty shell, as if she had used most of her strength to suppress some kind of trauma.

"…Miss Justice."

Ah?

Audrey was stunned for a moment. Why did Ms. Arianna call herself that? She called herself "Justice"?

Did Ms. Arianna know that I was a member of Mr. Fool's Tarot Club?

This made Audrey feel guilty for a moment. She had not forgotten that she was a bishop of the Church of the Dark Night. Now she was pointed out as a member of the Tarot Club by the goddess's followers. Audrey felt a little embarrassed.

"The goddess knows about your situation, and you don't have to worry about attending Mr. Fool's meeting." Audrey heard the "world" beside her say to her. Then she saw the "world" take out a holy emblem of the night from the inside of his suit and gently placed it on the only table in the room.

Then Klein blinked at Audrey.

"For example, I am the Blessed of the Goddess of Night and also the Blessed of Mr. Fool."

By the way, in addition to this, I am also the follower of the True Creator, the God of Truth, the Fallen Mother Goddess, and the Black Emperor... Klein added in his mind.

For a remnant of the old times like Klein, the status of a follower was not a great honor; even if there were many different identities of a follower, there was nothing particularly commendable about it. But for someone like Audrey who was born and raised in this era, it was different. To her, a follower of a god was equivalent to a representative of the god on earth, and the most devout believer of the god.

As for Mr. World, being accepted as a favored one by multiple gods at the same time... Audrey found it difficult to understand, and she also admired "World" very much.

However, after Klein finished speaking, he continued to explain the real reason why he invited Audrey over:

"Audrey, Ms. Arianna hopes that you can go to the southern continent as a member of the cooperation between the Church of Evernight and the Tarot Club, and establish Mr. Fool's first church there."

This sentence contained a huge amount of information for Audrey - Mr. Fool was going to cooperate with the Church of Night and establish his own church?

But Audrey was not Alger after all, and she did not think so much at the first time. If the political commissar was here, he would probably have to imagine the various impacts of Mr. Fool's actions on the world situation.

"You say."

After a brief shock, Audrey quickly calmed herself down. She calmly examined her inner self and found that her state was not unbalanced. Then she asked Ms. Arianna softly:

Ms. Arianna nodded, and there was still a deep emptiness in her eyes. To Audrey, the tone of his voice was a little floating, like a dream - but Arianna's speed and logic were quite clear and stable:

"My Lord is now in a long dream..."

"His condition is not good..."

"We need to stabilize ourselves and help our Lord wake up from his dream… I hope you can help The World and The Fool go to the southern continent and establish Mr. Fool's first church…"

"The Lord has passed down an oracle. Mr. Fool is my Lord's ally. The stronger he is, the faster my Lord will wake up..."

Audrey listened quietly to Arianna's words. After a while, she spoke with some fear:

"Why did you choose me?"

Arianna smiled. Although the smile was a little hollow, it still looked gentle. "You are the second follower of The Fool in the church…"

After saying this, the body of the ascetic Arianna disappeared quickly from the spot as if it had been erased by an eraser, taking Anthony Stevenson with her.

Audrey opened her mouth, but in the end, she couldn't say anything. She just turned her head and looked up at the "world" on the side, and even the word order was a little messed up:

"When did I become Mr. Fool's, uh, follower?"

"This is a gift from Mr. Fool."

Klein smiled secretly. He suddenly realized the convenience of saying "this is a secret" like Bishop Anthony of the Church of the Evernight Goddess when he encountered something that he couldn't say or he didn't even know whether it was a secret or not.

"Not to mention that after you helped Mr. Fool confront Amon, this is the reward that Mr. Fool will definitely give you—just like the boy codenamed 'K' who confronted Amon with you in the Creator's Church next door, but was not yet a messenger of God. He should have become Mr. K of the Creator's Church now."

Klein kept a smile on his face. "Similarly, everyone who can talk to Mr. Fool face to face at the Tarot Club is, in some sense, Mr. Fool's followers and messengers, especially in the eyes of people from other churches."

"However, Mr. Fool did not tell you these things—the glory of being able to communicate with the gods face to face may be out of reach for ordinary people, but for the gods, hehe."

"Mr. Fool doesn't care. He just hopes that this is a blessing to all of you, not a burden. As for the Church of Night, you are the only one who can go with me as both the bishop of the Church of Night and Mr. Fool's follower. You are the person who can go with me to the southern continent to establish the church for Mr. Fool. It would not be suitable for anyone else to come."

Audrey opened her mouth gently:

"I am a little worried..."

After witnessing the terrifying power of many angel kings and gods, Audrey still had a natural lack of confidence in her own power even after becoming a demigod. Especially since Klein beside her was already a Sequence One, Audrey didn't think an ordinary demigod could play any role in this.

Klein seemed to see what Audrey was thinking. He chuckled and said,

"Don't underestimate yourself."

"Even Sequence One angels are not omniscient and omnipotent—even Mr. Fool would not claim to be omniscient and omnipotent. If we must say, the only one who can be called omniscient and omnipotent is the ancient Sun God of the City of Silver. But even He could not have anticipated that he would be eaten by his three angel kings, right?"

"If possible, you can help me and other members of the Tarot Club examine our inner and psychological conditions as we travel to the southern continent to establish a church for Mr. Fool. When I was still weak and not favored by Mr. Fool, the Night Watcher who guided me into the extraordinary path once said this:"

"We are the guardians, but also a group of poor people who are always fighting against danger and madness."

"Even for an angel, the same is true; madness and danger are always with us."

So that's how it is? Audrey was stunned for a moment. She originally thought that Mr. World, after becoming an angel, was much stronger than other members of the Tarot Club. But until now, after Mr. World confessed his condition to her, she realized that for an angel, danger and madness are also a fatal factor that always accompanies them.

If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

"I see."

Audrey nodded. "I am willing to become Mr. Fool's favorite and share his worries. Although I have always believed in goddesses, Mr. Fool is the most merciful and compassionate god I have ever seen."

"Not to mention that this mission is to awaken the goddess. I am naturally willing to join this mission as a believer of the goddess and a follower of Mr. Fool."

As long as I can do something... Audrey added silently in her heart.

"good."

Klein responded softly, and Audrey felt the scene around her suddenly change. She was back in her room.

"This time, you may not be able to return home until a long time later. We may travel all over the southern and northern continents, and the enemies you encounter will definitely not be the Sequence 5 or Sequence 6 Beyonders you have encountered before."

"Those who will fight us are the evil god's followers, his minions, and even the evil god himself. We will drive them out of the earth and break the prophecy of the end of the world."

Klein asked calmly,

"Are you ready?"

If Audrey showed any hesitation or struggle, Klein was ready to go to the southern continent alone to build his own church. In other words, now that the name "Fool" cannot be used for the church, the church that Klein is planning to build is actually closer to the Holy See.

Although the "Error" and "Fool" paths do not have the characteristic of "whatever is said must be known", if more people praise the Fool, Amon can still use it to infiltrate Klein's authority while holding the uniqueness of the "Fool".

"I know what I've chosen." Audrey said without hesitation,

"I am willing to fight for this world - the people I love and the people I want to protect are all in this world. Even if we can rely on the favor of the gods to survive in the end of the world, is that really what we are pursuing?"

Very good awareness... In fact, Mr. Fool is right in front of you, and Mr. Fool is not sure he can survive the doomsday - your Mr. Fool will definitely be the main target of the Outer Gods at that time.

Klein thought with a smile on his face and nodded:

"Very good, you now have an hour to say goodbye to your parents and family."

"My clone has reached an agreement with the Angel King of the Southern Continent, 'The Bound God' Tolzna. We will establish Mr. 'The Fool's' first church there."

...

"What is the name of Mr. Fool's church?"

Audrey knew that now that Amon had taken away the authority of The Fool, Mr. Fool would have to be on guard against Amon, and even the name of the church could not use "The Fool" as a prefix.

Klein spoke slowly, and Audrey only felt a thin gray mist flash before her, covering up certain memories in her mind.

She only heard two vague words uttered by Klein:

"The Old Church."
