Capturing the "Evil God"Chapter 427: Capturing the "Evil God"
Bethel Abraham stood beside Klein. The two of them were surrounded by darkness, but in this darkness, there were dots of starlight seeping through.
He looked at Klein in astonishment. There weren't many things that could surprise this ancient Angel King.
"You mean, you now have a safe passage in the starry sky?"
A truly safe waterway—one that cannot be discovered, and Klein can reach any point along that waterway in an instant; although this is with the help of the roaming authority of the "Gate," even a real "Gate" cannot accomplish such a feat.
This is a grand route that was explored and recorded with the help of outer gods. It extends into the universe and is about to reach the edge of the universe.
In the vast starry sky, the asteroid moved by Klein has become Klein's reliance for exploration: the asteroid moves at an extremely high speed in the starry sky under the authority of the high-dimensional overlooker. When its position is hidden, this "rock" that will not be discovered by the outer gods is the safest starting point.
"Thanks to the higher dimensions." Klein nodded. "When I was promoted to Sequence One and accepted the uniqueness of the 'Gate', the Higher Dimension Overlooker took me deep into the starry sky. The Outer Gods are fully capable of crossing the entire universe. It was during this process that I 'recorded' these places and was able to reach any place I passed by in an instant."
Bethel smacked his lips, his eyes showing regret or emotion. He sat opposite Klein's clone and couldn't help but sigh:
"If I had the help of the High-Dimensional Overlooker at that time... perhaps I would have been a true god by now."
He seemed to imagine what he would look like after becoming a true God, then shook his head:
"Forget it, it's all in the past, there's no if in these things; what are you planning to do when you come to see me this time? Haha, when you busy people come to see me, you always have something to ask of me."
He added, "And I was playing chess with Huang Tao. I was distracted just now, and this lousy chess player used his authority to cheat again."
You speak Chinese quite well... Klein looked at the original Mr. "Door" with a strange look. He didn't know why, but he felt that after hanging out with the high-dimensional overlords for a long time, this man's style had become strange.
——It is probably the difference between "the white-robed gentleman sword" and "the thunder-blade mad monk wild diamond". (Note 1)
"...You seem to be thinking about something damnable." Bethel looked at Klein who had been staring at him, and sighed again. It was obvious that Bethel also knew that he had been poisoned by the High-Dimensional Overlooker. Now he spent his days in the kingdoms of the gods to kill time.
He could neither go to the starry sky nor advance in the promotion; apart from going to the Kingdom of God to check the quality of the barrier, his only remaining entertainment was to see if there were any problems with the development of his descendants after they were freed from the "Full Moon Curse".
"Ahem." After coughing twice awkwardly, Klein finally told Bethel why he came:
"Mr. Bethel, I am now planning to build my own church starting from the southern continent. But I cannot allow the church to expand too much before resolving the hidden danger of Amon."
"This is a wise choice." Bethel nodded, obviously satisfied with Klein's approach: "Then how do you plan to fill the remaining anchors? After all, you are now directly merging with the will of the Heavenly Lord, so you will need more anchors than an ordinary true god."
"I also have a church in Silver City. I have renamed the church there 'Mysterious'."
Klein smiled. "The mystery can not only refer to the Lord of Mysteries, but also to myself. I am now integrated with the Lord of Mysteries' will. Instead of using these anchors to fight against the Lord of Mysteries, I can use them to influence the Lord of Mysteries. The description of the Lord of Mysteries in the 'Book of Mysteries' is my image in the old days."
"It's better to say that this is also a kind of confrontation, but it's just in a different form."
With the cooperation of Klein and other old survivors and the true time traveler, the High-Dimensional Overlooker, they finally renamed and marked the lost era, and recovered a period of history before the destruction of the spiritual world.
A lot of this historical restoration is also thanks to the fact that the higher-dimensional overwatchers existed before the destruction of the spiritual world.
"This approach is relatively reasonable, but it is far from enough." Bert placed his hands on the table in front of him and raised his eyes:
"Let me guess, in addition to the 'Mysterious Church' in Silver City, the ordinary people in Loen ruled by your clone, and the anchors of the church you are about to establish, you also need some more secret anchors - are you going to come to me now and ask me to lend you the identity of Mr. 'Gate'?"
Bethel had a smile on his face - this was probably the only possibility that could make the Angel King, who was eager to digest the "Star Key", come to find him, a Sequence 2 Angel.
Klein nodded and said frankly, "Yes, at the same time, I also hope that I can fulfill the promise I made to you before. I hope to obtain the Abraham family as an anchor while protecting the Abraham family. I will record your name in the Holy Scripture as the angel of Mr. 'Mystery' and 'Gate', and leave you a sufficient number of anchors."
"I will use Mr. Men's identity to protect the current Abraham family. Although the current Abraham family has the protection of the 'God of Truth' and the 'True Creator', it is still somewhat difficult."
Klein's voice deepened: "Especially in this era."
Bethel was silent, and He took a deep breath:
"I know."
"So, I am very grateful that you can help me protect the Abraham family a little bit - haha, looking at your expression, you might still think that I will hold on to the honorific title of Mr. 'Gate'. But in fact, even if you take it away directly, I will not have any complaints against you."
Bethel laughed and added, "It would be the same even if you didn't choose to protect Abraham."
Klein's eyes widened slightly, and he felt a little confused. But Bethel said casually:
"I'm used to this kind of behavior from a mythical creature. Promises are the most useless things, born only to be broken. How many vows have I seen? But when the sea dries up and the mountains are broken, even the eternal covenant will cease to exist."
"I once thought my promise was eternal, but..." Bethel's eyes showed some nostalgia:
"In the past thousand years, I have brought too much suffering to Abraham. And now I have no way to move up, so how can I protect the family?"
"Don't think that the High-Dimensional Overlooker will really respect my opinion in this regard. He is a natural Outer God, an ancient being who has lived for billions of years. Even if He 'divides' and 'preserves' all of his humanity, He will not have the slightest sympathy for my wishes."
He said slowly: "You are still young now - Zhou Mingrui, your age is not even a fraction of that of any natural mythical creature."
"When you have witnessed the tombstones of civilizations and scattered their heavy embers in your own garden, you will no longer empathize with the joys and sorrows of an ordinary life."
"Once you start sailing towards the stars, you will be able to see a glimpse of what the Outer Gods see."
…
Two figures appeared at the southernmost part of the southern continent. When the two figures, one tall and one short, appeared, the figure of German Sparrow, who was talking to the Bound God Tolzner, also disappeared directly, and then appeared at the back.
Tolzner reacted quickly and raised his head:
"Mr. 'World'?"
"This is my assistant. I picked her up."
Klein spoke to Tolzner in a cold tone. Audrey found that Mr. World beside her changed his appearance in the blink of an eye and turned into Gehrman Sparrow.
Klein did not ask his secret doll to explain why he brought an ordinary demigod here, just as Gehrman Sparrow would not explain to others.
"I understand." Tolzner nodded, not at all like the gods that the people of the Southern Continent Highlands Kingdom believed in. He knew that the Angel King in front of him was also unique like him:
"I don't know when you two will leave. I now suspect that Su'a is planning something terrible. After all, he is the offspring of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'..."
"I will start building Mr. Fool's temple here, and at the same time, I will start tracking down the 'divine evil.'" Klein didn't say much: "Because of Amon's existence, Mr. Fool no longer wants to be called by this name. Now believers have to call him 'The Gate of the Old Days.'"
Klein paused:
"Or call me Mr. 'Door'."
"Mr. 'Door'?"
Tolzner was stunned for a moment, with a look of bewilderment on his face - wasn't that person in a more miserable situation than himself? Wasn't he merely contaminated by the Mother Tree of Desire, while that person was captured by the Mother Goddess?
However, considering that the name of the incarnation of the "Fool", whose identity is now mysterious and who is only known to have a relationship with the Source, contains the word "Old Days", Tolzner kept his thoughts to himself.
Perhaps, it was the "Fool" who defeated the "Gate" and gained everything from the loser...
After a slight hesitation, Tolzner spoke in a hoarse voice:
"So, do you need to start building Mr. Fool's temple now?"
"Not now." Gehrman Sparrow's voice was unusually gentle. He faced the sea and spoke slowly,
"Now, Sear could invade the people of the Highland Kingdom at any time—the followers of Mr. Fool in the future."
Klein endured a little shame and said, "I am Mr. Fool's angel of punishment. I am the Lord's wrath, the Lord's thunder, and the Lord's palm. I am the judge and executioner of all the fallen and unclean."
Audrey on the side looked at Mr. "World" beside her with a little surprise, as if she had not expected him to make such a powerful speech.
"'Divine Evil' is the rebellious son of God, the incarnation of the evil god on earth, and the embodiment of sin that threatens all living things on earth."
"The Lord called me to the earth, not to bring peace, but to bring war."
A few tiny dots of light appeared in Hermann's hands, and a similar color also appeared on the body of "Justice" Audrey on the side.
——However, unlike the "star map" in Gehrman's hand for divination, the starlight beside Audrey was more for protecting this weak dragon. Next, Klein needed to control his secret puppet to deal with the "divine evil" Sua, who was contaminated by the remaining "Mother Tree of Desire".
Tolzna opened his mouth and wanted to remind him, but after thinking it over, he gave up.
Ordinary divination is useless - but thinking of the god behind the "world" in front of him, Tolzner shut up again. He didn't want his behavior to be considered disloyal by Mr. Fool, and he also looked forward to Mr. Fool's mysterious power.
If that "mystery" was really the same as the "sun" at that time... this "god of spiritual creatures" obviously remembered the glory of the ancient sun god at that time.
"The Gate of the Old Days that solidified chaos, the great master above the gray fog, the Yellow and Black King who controls good luck..."
Klein quietly split off a clone and made his clone appear in the original place, turning into the appearance of German. With the combined power of part of the "Miracle Master" and the "Star Key", Klein can make each of his "original bodies" become clones, and can also make the posture of the clone formed by his high-speed flashing undergo substantial changes.
——When Moretti contained the "Secret Servant", he also contained a "Miracle Master", and the characteristics of this Sequence 2 remained in Klein's body. Just like Amon was able to manipulate the secret puppet before he became a "mistake", Klein can now also use the ability of the Sequence 2 "Miracle Master" without the help of Sefirah Castle.
Klein's real body appeared leisurely above the Sefirah Castle. He nodded gently,
"Approved."
A door appeared next to Hermann, and a beam of chaotic starlight seeped out from the door and shone on Hermann.
Suddenly, a faint light and shadow quickly emerged in front of German Sparrow's eyes, and in the light and shadow was a dark sea. The "divine evil" was trudging towards the depths there.
Suddenly, this "evil god" and "son of the foreign god" seemed to realize something and turned his head abruptly - but he could not find anything and could only search in the same place like a headless fly.
Hermann smiled grimly and announced,
"I've got you."
He stretched out his hand and gently clenched it - suddenly, the sky and the earth were covered with a layer of crystal-like faint glowTaking Back AuthorityChapter 428 Taking Back the Authority
Klein "stole" Si'a's current position, "stole" Si'a's consciousness for the next few seconds, and "stole" the distance between Si'a and him!
With the blessing of the "Source Castle", Klein directly combined the authority of the "Gate" and the "Worm of Time" and "captured" Sua directly from an unknown place!
When he is able to use Sefirah Castle to divine and locate the enemy, as long as the enemy's status is not higher than his own, Klein can move the enemy in front of him in an instant.
After losing the support of the Mother Tree of Desire and with only the pollution from the past left on his body, Suea could hardly resist the "theft" of Klein who was merging with the Source Castle.
Not to mention, the power of the "Door" is also contained in this "theft". Although the "Door" does not directly involve the field of "secret" like "error" and "fool", the weirdness of the "Door" lies in its "omnipresence" and "all-encompassingness".
When you think you have successfully escaped, the "door" often appears behind you.
After Klein completed this "steal", the gray mist on his body slowly began to dissipate - instead, the surrounding space began to solidify rapidly as if it was frozen. It was as if it was covered with a layer of crystal, directly separating the surrounding environment from the battlefield here.
After the brief dizziness disappeared, Siea found out where he was. He roared, and without wasting words with Klein and Tolzner, he instantly revealed his mythical creature form.
He knew that after the Angel King transferred him here, he would be greeted with a great battle.
Surrounded by the two angel kings, only a fight to the death can give Him a chance of survival.
He looked at the space below that separated the ordinary people on the ground from their battlefield - he let out a hoarse roar, and thousands of curses burst out from Sua's side. The terrifying and crazy thoughts contained in them seemed to want to destroy the intelligence of all living things on the earth.
However, in this space solidified by the faint pure crystal, these curses disappeared instantly, and then bounced back in the completely opposite direction towards where Suea was.
This was a "grafting" that Klein used with the seal condensed from the characteristics of the "Mysterious Servant" in his hand and the "Source Castle"!
Klein grafted the curse of Sua together end to end, so that the curse would change direction after touching the barrier condensed from the uniqueness of the "door" path, and circulate back and forth in this confined space until the curse weakened and disappeared.
How can a seal be such an inconvenient thing? "Grafting" is also a kind of seal.
The uniqueness of the "door" can also strengthen the seal to a certain extent!
Seeing this scene, Su'a was silent for a moment. This silence was deafening, making Su'a look like a "silent disciple" of the "temperance faction".
This made Suea's teeth chatter. After losing the "Mother Tree of Desire" as his strong backing, although Suea was still contaminated by the "Mother Tree of Desire", with the protection of the Source Castle on German in front of him, He was only equivalent to an ordinary Archangel of the Sequence.
Now standing in front of Suea were the Angel King of the "Gate" Path and the Angel King of the "Bound" Path. Under the gaze of the two Angel Kings, Suea only felt endless pressure -
Not to mention that one of these angel kings is his father and mother, and Suea, the rebellious son of God... obviously will not be let off by his parents Tolzna.
Sua opened his mouth again, as if releasing the curse that had accumulated during his silence. However, this time he did not spread the curse in all directions, because he knew that doing so would not have any effect.
With an Angel King with a "gate" path, Klein is fully capable of using the uniqueness of the "gate" path to strengthen the space seal here by strengthening the seal level. Although it cannot reach the level of a true god, it is more than enough to seal the curse of this angel level.
Therefore, Su'a cursed this space. He showed a mysterious posture, and the sticky black liquid on his body boiled and began to erode the void.
Suea wants to interfere with the connection between the spiritual world and reality, break the wall between reality and the spiritual world, and make this place overlap with the spiritual world briefly!
Even though Klein has now set up a ban in both the real world and the spirit world, if Si'a finds an opportunity, it is possible that He will break through the seal of the two angel kings and escape. After all, He is still contaminated by the "Mother Tree of Desire"!
Any Sequence One angel would not fall easily, let alone an angel with the help of an outer god!
Bright roses grew one after another on Sua's body, and thorny vines entangled his body, giving him a few bright colors in his "divine evil" state.
Suea's body flickered in these brief few seconds, and it seemed that he could break through the barrier between the real world and the spiritual world at any time and disappear into the real world.
When Tolzna saw that Suea was trying to escape, he stretched out his dry arms wrapped in bandages and exerted force with both hands. The frequency of Suea's body flashing suddenly slowed down, and the sticky black liquid on his body boiled and evaporated, as if trying to break free from the restraints.
At the same time, Su'a suddenly raised his head and looked at Tolzna with anger in his eyes - looking at his father and mother, Tolzna felt his body stiffen a little, and a familiar feeling that had accompanied him for thousands of years came from the outside - this was the pollution of the "Mother Tree of Desire".
Siea wanted to turn Tolzna's body into a prison for his soul, so he poured all the remaining pollution in himself into this curse, which gave him some chance to escape.
But the next moment, the seal on him strengthened again, and the flickering of his body stopped completely, and he froze in place.
This is the authority of the "Bound One". After being completely freed from the contamination of the Mother Tree of Desire, Tolzner is fully capable of cutting off the connection between other Beyonders and the spiritual world. Of course, this is also a feat that can only be accomplished when there is a gap in status - after all, He is not yet a true "Bound One" and can only indirectly use the power of uniqueness.
German Staro on the other side was not panicked at all. He raised his hands and a transparent book appeared in front of him:
"I came, I saw, I recorded."
Just now, Gehrman first used the authority of the "Gate" to strengthen Tolzner's ability to cut off the connection between S'ea and the spirit world. The bondage of the "Bound One" is also a powerful seal, and after he mastered the uniqueness of the "Gate" path, Klein could naturally let his clone strengthen the bondage of the "Bound One".
After sealing Sua, the book in Klein's hand was quickly covered with a faint glow, and a symbol was taking shape on it. He began to record the abilities of the "God's Evil" - although he experienced several failures, he eventually recorded the abilities he wanted.
The next time he has to deal with other enemies, Klein can use the ability of "Divine Evil" to bind the body to the mind.
Klein controlled German's clone and used his left hand to stroke the sealed "evil god" in front of him. Suddenly, Suea's body turned into a small rag doll wrapped in bright red and green lines and was held in Klein's hand.
After the breath calmed down, the outside of the rag doll in the hand of German's clone was wrapped with a thick layer of crystal, which completely sealed it up to prevent any pollution and curse from leaking out.
He glanced at Tolzner on the side. The stiff Tolzner was also covered with a thin layer of gray mist. This layer of gray mist quickly expelled the red and green pollution belonging to the Mother Tree of Desire from his body, allowing the Angel King to regain complete autonomy.
Tolzner was still in shock. When he felt the curse and pollution of the Mother Tree of Desire coming upon him again, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He had suffered for so many years, and if he was dragged back to prison again after being freed, it would be hard for even Tolzner, the "bound god", to accept it.
"it's over?"
Tolzner saw the "world" beside him, German Sparrow, slowly falling to the ground, and walked up to him cautiously to ask him. He looked at the small crystal in his hand with a complicated look in his eyes.
This is a child formed from the mysterious extraordinary characteristics that were stripped from Him, but Suea was destined to be a pawn of the Mother Tree of Desire from birth.
There is no self-awareness in Him. His will has been completely erased by the Mother Tree of Desire, leaving only the madness infused in Him by the Mother Tree of Desire.
"It's over." German Sparrow responded in a dull and powerful voice. There was a little gray mist around him. He took out a gold coin from his clothes, threw it up, and then caught it, as if he was fortune-telling.
After a moment, Gehrman casually threw the crystal in his left hand to Tolzner:
"There is no will of his own in his body. It is all pollution and madness instilled into him by the Mother Tree of Desire. Before accepting this extraordinary characteristic, remember to pray to my Lord. My Lord will help you eliminate the possible hidden dangers."
Tolzner nodded, indicating that he understood. He planned to wait until his condition stabilized a little before accommodating this extraordinary characteristic and getting closer to a complete state.
He watched as Hermann's figure reappeared in the air. Hermann raised his hands, and twelve pure white wings appeared behind him. On his head, a pure white crown appeared, floating above his head like an angel's halo or a crown.
As Gehrman stretched out his hand, the crystals covering the ground receded like the tide. The residual light of the mythical era seemed to shine on this land, and the tsunami-like petrified cliff that was previously blocked by Tolzner also collapsed into a mass of sea water and fell back into the sea.
But to ordinary people on earth, this seemed like a miracle.
"——The Angel of Suffering was the king of ancient times."
"He bore the curse and steadfastly stood in the darkness on the face of the abyss; the box that sealed sin and curse was opened by evil, and fire and poison flowed in the land of milk and honey."
"The old door has been opened, and those who hold on have once again taken on the burden of the poison that runs rampant on the land."
"Behind that door is the promised land that all living beings are looking for!"
Hermann's voice seemed to be everywhere, reaching the ears of everyone here. After doing all this, he slowly floated down, and Thorzna, who stood on the ground, followed closely behind him. Wings also appeared behind him, and a slightly dim crown also appeared on his head.
Klein looked at the two figures that were gradually moving away and were beginning to establish Mr. Fool's first faith in the outside world. He slowly said,
"Let's go to the next place. From the next place onwards, you will need to pass on the Fool's faith with me."
"Mr. World, where is our next destination?"
"Let's go to the sea." Klein said slowly, "An unprecedented war is about to break out there."
"war?"
Audrey's ears twitched.
"Yes, a war." Klein patiently explained to Audrey, "A war between gods."
"Although this war is still a long way from breaking out, we must prepare in advance. Unlike here, there we cannot directly use Mr. Fool's power to create miracles."
He adjusted the hat on his head:
"After all, it is still the pasture of the Lord of Storms."
…
"Your Holiness, all our personnel in Intis are in place."
In the darkness, a tall and thin man in black slowly saluted the figure sitting on the withered throne in front of him. The surrounding lights slowly lit up - the surrounding electric lights slowly lit up, and the surrounding cement concrete walls were incompatible with the current architectural style.
In this hall, believers dressed in black looked at the figure sitting on the throne as if they saw the "truth".
"Begin this infiltration."
The figure sitting on the throne slowly stood up, revealing an oriental face with soft lines. He stared at his followers with his blue eyes with fine silk threads, and spoke in a gentle tone:
"This is a war against the 'God of Steam and Machinery'."
"——It is also a war against 'truth'."
——Gao
Wei looked at the figure that disappeared quietly in the empty space and smiled gently.
He stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a tiny, glowing screw.
——On this screw, countless fine silk threads are floating.

"Key to the Gray Door, Favored One of the Yellow and Black Kings, Star Shifter of All Terrors."
"The great 'Angel of Punishment' Gehrman Sparrow."
On the ghost ship of the Tudor Empire, Alger solemnly read out Gehrman's name. He took a step back and quietly waited for the "world" to respond.
A moment later, Alger saw a door made of starlight taking shape in front of him, and the next moment, two figures walked out of it. Alger's pupils shrank slightly.
Mr. World and Miss Justice? Did Miss Justice also participate in Mr. Fool's action? Could it be that Miss Justice has also become Mr. Fool's follower?
Alger carefully looked at the "World" that walked out of the door:
Mr. World is not wearing the appearance of "German Sparrow" now - this looks like a university professor's outfit, is it another identity of "World"?
The identity that Klein is using now is the appearance of "Sherlock Moriarty", a university professor.
However, it was only a brief surprise, and Alger calmed down. Miss Justice and Mr. World had faced Amon together before. Now it seemed that Miss Justice might have become a demigod...
After thinking about this, Alger felt a hint of envy in his heart. He took a deep breath and recalled what he had seen and heard in the last Tarot Club.
As long as I can complete the commission from The Fool and Mr. White Tower, I can become a demigod... Thinking of the commission issued by Mr. White Tower, Alger clenched his fists and cheered up again.
At the Tarot Club, Alger Wilson, a Sequence Five, was overwhelmed with shock when he heard Mr. Fool casually say that the Lord of Storms was about to fall in the upcoming war of gods. This news was like a storm on a violent sea, and it took him a long time to calm down.
I have worked so hard for so long, and I am about to become the cardinal of the Church of the Storm - will the Church of the Storm really cease to exist?
Alger thought with some pain, but he never doubted what Mr. Fool said. Alger subconsciously believed that Mr. Fool would not deceive a Tarot Club member like him.
The words of this ancient and powerful god were never false, and He would not deceive weak extraordinary people like them.
He wanted to become stronger and have a higher status in the secular world... When the Church of Storms could not give him all of this, why should he be bound by the Church of Storms?
He believed in power and strength, but he had never sincerely believed in storms.
The spirit behind the White Tower was willing to use the White Tower's hand to exchange something with Mr. Fool for the identity of a Sequence 3 Saint—and Alger just happened to need the Sequence 3 Saint's identity from the White Tower, and as a member of the Church of Storms, he could complete Mr. Fool's commission and pass on his faith.
Just like many tarot clubs before, Alger and the White Tower completed the transaction under the witness of Mr. Fool.
"Tell me about the current situation in the Southern Islands."
Klein spoke straight to the point. A historical projection of a sofa appeared beside him, and he sat down without hesitation. Alger had already expressed his wishes at the Tarot Club, and now there was naturally no need for him to ask whether Alger's belief was firm.
However, Klein also asked Audrey to observe Alger's micro-expressions - to let this "audience" observe whether The Hanged Man, who is also a veteran of the Tarot Club, has the intention of betraying The Fool.
Although this approach might raise suspicions about Alger, Klein still thought it necessary to confirm it. Moreover, Audrey was the follower of Mr. Fool, so this was also a test for her growth.
Audrey sat quietly beside Klein, watching Alger begin to speak quietly
, "The faith of the Southern Islands came from Bayam. In the current Bayam, the followers of the original 'Sea God' Kalvetuva are now under the command of the 'God of the Abyss', the incarnation of the spirit behind Mr. 'White Tower'." Alger lowered his head and answered in a low voice, "The faith of Storm and Sea God is in great conflict in the Southern Islands now."
"And under the influence of the extraordinary believers who call themselves 'Deep Divers' on Bayam's side, many fishermen in the Southern Islands are secretly believing in the 'God of the Deep'."
Is that so... In the Tarot Club's deal, "The God of the Abyss" is one of the rewards that Gao Wei will pay to Alger in the future - in addition to that, the characteristics of "Storm" seem to be taken from the Church of Storms...
Gao Wei also used this characteristic to guarantee me that He would not trigger a war between gods in the process of acquiring the characteristics of the "God of Steam and Machinery" - haha, as long as Gao Wei still wants to maintain the current situation, He will not trigger a war between gods and break the current situation.
He doesn't need any reassurances about this, but this is His attitude toward me.
Klein pondered,
"What is the Church of Storm's attitude toward this?"
"The Church of the Storm...did not send anyone to deal with the gathering places of these pagans." Alger said in a dull voice:
"Please believe me, Mr. World. For the Church of Storms, being able to maintain such patience is already very abnormal. I am not sure if there is something bigger hidden behind this..."
Alger hesitated for a moment, but still did not say the word "conspiracy". After all, he had believed in the Lord of Storms for so many years, and he still found it difficult to say such blasphemous words.
So he said frankly, "I'm sorry, Mr. World. Although I respect Mr. Fool, I grew up in the Church of Storms. I don't know if the Church of Storms has any hidden secrets in this matter."
The hidden truth is that the Lord of Storms is not willing to actively provoke this unidentified god. Even if he is slow-witted, after destroying the kingdom of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" and not discovering the Dragon of Wisdom Herabergen, the Lord of Storms should have had some basic guesses.
In other words, the identity of the "God of Truth" who now has believers in countries such as Intis, Lenburg, and Feynaport is unknown, and the God of the Abyss, who has a similar name to the "God of Truth", is naturally not an enemy that the Lord of Storms is willing to be hostile to.
But this is only temporary after all. If the "God of the Abyss" continues to corrode the anchor of the Lord of Storms, the Lord of Storms will most likely not sit idly by and wait for death.
Judging from the current situation, Gao Wei wants to force the Lord of Storms and the True Creator into a direct conflict, making the Lord of Storms believe that the God of Truth is a deity who stands with the True Creator... But this method is a bit crude...
Klein closed his eyes and thought for a moment:
"Anyway, Mr. The Hanged Man."
"Mr. Fool hopes that you can spread his faith here. This is also the 'deal' you and Mr. Fool made at the Tarot Club."
"Transaction"… Alger couldn't help but have this thought in his mind: Rather than calling it a transaction, it would be better to say that this was a task assigned to him by Mr. Fool. After establishing Mr. Fool's church, the characteristics that Mr. Fool "traded" with him could be better described as a reward from the gods.
Alger said calmly, "Of course. Moreover, in the past few days, I have organized a small sect with dozens of people."
"Be careful to convey Mr. Fool's honorific name—this is what Mr. Fool ordered me to convey to you." Klein had his clone look at Alger from the corner of his eye. "Similarly, I will first give you the potion material that Mr. Fool promised to give you. Once the faith here is initially established, Mr. Fool will help you complete the promotion ceremony and give you the last material."
Klein took out a wooden box from the void beside him. He slowly opened the box and showed Alger the potion ingredients sealed with the power of the "door".
Alger's breathing became heavier, but he still suppressed the joy in his heart:
"I will definitely not let Mr. Fool down."
"Mr. Fool also believes in you." Klein nodded, confirming Alger's words on his own behalf: "Mr. Fool asked me to come here to prevent Amon from infiltrating Mr. Fool's beliefs."
"Do you need to check on the situation here? If necessary, I can gather the believers now..."
"No need to call them together," Klein said gently, placing his hand on Alger's shoulder.
"Just imagine a family environment of a believer. Oh, Miss Justice, please use Psychological Invisibility to cover it up for us."
Mr. World, do you still need me to cover up? Audrey raised her eyes, but still said nothing. She just silently used the ability of "psychological invisibility" on herself and the two people around her.
Klein smiled and added, "After all, regardless of whether one's faith is devout or not, most people will at least appear to be devout on the surface."
The piety on the surface... Is Mr. World really urging me to decide my own position as soon as possible? Alger's heart sank, and he said respectfully:
"I was negligent."
Mr. Hanged Man seemed very nervous just now... But he seemed to be struggling, not sure what he would do in the future... Audrey looked at Alger who closed his eyes and began to associate, and suddenly felt the "world" on the side gently put its hand on her shoulder.
Before Audrey could be surprised, the scene around her changed - they came to a low house, and Mr. "World" on the side withdrew his hand in time.
"This is from the believer I just thought of..." Alger was a little stunned. He pursed his lips and took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision:
"Please come with me."
Led by Alger, the three of them walked into the low house. The house was quite shabby. If Klein were to describe it, it was like the "six-person room" he had seen in the East District of Backlund - but the slightly better situation was that this room was only occupied by a family of three.
"Jovan Green. He is a fisherman. After his parents died in a shipwreck, he almost stopped believing in storms. This is the believer I recruited three days ago." Alger explained,
"I don't have many followers now. Most of them are 'rebels' who don't believe in storms."
At this point, Alger sighed for a moment: "Most people here, even if the storm has never protected them, they still have faith - apart from faith, they have no other choice."
Klein casually set up the spiritual wall as soon as he came in. He listened to Alger's words in silence. Audrey, who was standing on the side, looked at the tired middle-aged man sitting in the house to rest, and suddenly said,
"Even if many of their family members died in the storm?"
In Audrey's memory, her parents told her that most of the non-noble followers of the Lord of Storms were violent, reckless, and chauvinistic - these people's personalities were unacceptable to the Hall family who believed in the Goddess of Night at the time.
But now after seeing the living environment of these people, Audrey suddenly understood.
Not everyone has the leisure and elegance to choose their own beliefs, and not everyone can think about their own beliefs. She asked this question, actually just wanting to ask Alger's opinion.
Because she heard this believer praying to the "Lord of Storms" and the "Gate of the Old Ones" at the same time.
Alger glanced at Audrey and said,
"That's right."
"What else can they do? Believe in evil gods or become extraordinary people? They have no way to improve their living conditions. Of course, after someone uses magical powers on them, they will be bewitched. Just like me, a bewitched believer now."
"Like right now—does he wonder who he's praying to? Miss Justice, you should be able to read his mind."
Drops of water appeared in front of Jovan Green and quickly formed a water gate - the sea water fluctuated in front of Jovan Green, lasting for a few seconds before disappearing.
Audrey heard that Jovan Green's prayer to the Lord of Storms had stopped. He spoke in a panic, praying in a low voice to the "Gate of the Old Days".
Alger spread his hands and sighed to Audrey,
"What they believe in is nothing more than power. Power, divine power, financial resources, extraordinary power... The faith of ordinary people is the easiest thing to shake."
"Because all they need is faith itself."
"All they need is faith—that's enough to carry them through the most difficult times."
"Whatever they believe inThe next step of investigationChapter 430 The Next Step of Investigation
After listening to Alger's words, Audrey remained silent and nodded slowly.
Klein also nodded slowly. After a while, he turned to Audrey and said,
"Mr. Fool came here to change this situation."
"Mr. The Hanged Man - I also hope you can remember Mr. Fool's advice: 'He once said that he came here not to start a war, but to bring peace to the world.'"
"As long as this can be achieved—" Klein stretched out his tone: "Even if the number of believers you bring to Mr. Fool is less, Mr. Fool will still fulfill his promise."
Klein said word by word:
"What does it matter if I give these people the water of the fountain of wisdom to drink for free if they can have a better life?"
"It doesn't matter if they choose other beliefs after they gain wisdom. God doesn't care."
He looked at Alger who was standing there in a daze and chuckled softly,
"We should go now, Mr. Hanged Man - Praise the Fool, I hope your mission goes well."
Alger looked at the two people who disappeared on the spot, his expression gloomy - fortunately, Jovan was praying devoutly to the "Old Gate" and did not notice that Alger, the missionary of the "Old Gate", had just entered his home quietly.
"'Give them the water of the Fountain of Wisdom for free'...?" Alger chuckled in a low voice:
"This is simply like a replay of the mythical era. Oh, follow your will, Mr. Fool."
After the two disappeared, Klein and Audrey appeared further north, on the coastline of Loen.
"What do you think after seeing this?" Klein asked Audrey. The two of them walked along the coast, watching the surging sea water from afar bringing with it fine sand.
"It's incredible." Audrey answered Klein's question while looking at the scene in the distance. The colors there were even brighter, as if she was still in the spiritual world.
In reality, the two were now caught between the spirit world and reality. With every step they took, the surrounding scenery would be stretched in an instant; the two were rapidly approaching the border of Intis.
This is another manifestation of the authority of the "gate".
There is no belief in the "Gate of the Old Days" in the Feysac Empire for the time being, and Klein is also trekking towards where Gao Wei is now. Distance is meaningless to the "Gate" path. He happened to be going to Intis while investigating how to wake up the Goddess of Night, and this would not affect Klein's plan.
Moreover, the current "Emperor" - Huang Tao would most likely support Klein in establishing faith in Intis. He was almost completely on the same chariot with the High-Dimensional Overlooker and Klein, the two "fellow countrymen" who rescued Him.
After arranging enough faith, it was time for Klein to set sail and prepare to explore the starry sky to gradually digest the characteristics of the "Star Key" - exploring the starry sky far enough would allow Klein to greatly increase the progress of digestion.
"Even though I'm promoting a protective charity policy in Backlund..." Audrey looked at the little crab that crawled past her feet and then turned into a gray straight line and disappeared on the spot as she lifted her foot, "But it seems to have little effect."
"This is normal. It always takes a country to solve the problem of poverty, and the process of testing each other with vested interests often takes a long time." Klein chuckled: "You see, Intis's situation is much better than Loen's."
Audrey looked forward—and saw bright lights in the blurry, colorful place in the distance. Klein's voice came slowly beside her:
"Next to Loen, the situation in the Intis Empire is much better now. The 'Black Emperor', as a god, has issued many decrees from top to bottom to enhance the power of his country. This can give the gods more anchors and also allow the country to have more wisdom - it is better than canceling free schools and economic aid and making the people dull."
"The nobles and merchants of Intis had no objection - ah, sorry, I understand." Audrey was about to speak but nodded again. The nobles and merchants of Intis must have opposed it, but their opposition would have no effect.
Although the status of the nobles was noble, their gods were the most honorable emperors. No matter how honorable the nobles were, could they be more honorable than the emperors? No matter how powerful they were, could they be more powerful than the gods?
When the highest point of power and authority issued an order, their opposition was meaningless.
When their power is weak to a certain extent, their resistance may even seem a little cute - for merchants and nobles, when there is an opportunity for change, they dare to rebel against the emperor who has no extraordinary power, but they would never dare to rebel against the current god.
Because the gods can really destroy them, and the only god who can check and balance a god is another god. In the territory of Intis, besides the "Black Emperor" and the "God of Truth", the only gods who are hostile to the "Black Emperor" are the "God of Steam and Machinery" and the "God of Error".
Although the "God of Error" is openly defined as an evil god, due to the certain connection between the High-Dimensional Overlookers and Amon, Amon did not encounter much resistance when promoting his beliefs.
Not to mention, the High Dimension Overlooker is now trying its best to erode the authority of the "God of Steam and Machinery". He does not intend to cause a war between gods. Before the High Dimension Overlooker became the "Judge" and brought Klein into the starry sky, some of the Outer Gods had already united and were ready to open a small gap in the barrier outside the earth again.
If Amon had not previously blocked the gap with his own kingdom of God, the True Creator would probably have begun trying to contain the Chaos Sea again, otherwise the Outer Gods would have been able to break through some of their power into the barrier.
"Primal Hunger", "Ring of Fate", "Super Star Overlord", "Eternal Whisper" - among these Outer Gods who have left some power and backup plans on Earth, except for the "Super Star Overlord" who has taken back all his source essence, every Outer God has a reason to attack the high-dimensional overlords.
If the reason why they did not take action against Amon was because they were afraid that Amon, a dual-path true god who was suspected to have a highly revived will of "Tianzun", would "self-destruct" and pull out the Lord of Mysteries in advance, and Amon, who inherited most of the characteristics of "Tianzun", would not be so easy to catch and might easily let them slip away, then the second reason came from the high-dimensional overlords.
Although the pressure from the high-dimensional overwatchers was huge, it was far from the point where they needed to bring out the secrets and destroy everyone. After all, the high-dimensional overwatchers were not the mainstay yet.
But it is also because of this that the High Dimension Overlooker cannot attack Amon and let Klein become the Lord of the Mysteries. Once the High Dimension Overlooker does this, the Outer Gods outside the Earth will simultaneously take action to solve the big problem of the High Dimension Overlooker. Even if the "Fallen Mother Goddess" does not stand on the side of the Outer Gods, the High Dimension Overlooker will find it difficult to host the double-digit Outer Gods.
Therefore, in this matter against Amon, the High-Dimensional Overlooker chose to remain neutral; and Amon was also unwilling to have a head-on conflict with the "Black Emperor" and the "God of Truth".
"That's good." Klein smiled and said softly to Audrey, "I am also asking Adolf Hill to promote this set of rules in Loen. However, after all, there is still the Church of the Storm and the remnants of the old times in Loen, so the speed of our reform will inevitably be much slower."
"But I believe that as long as the trade between the two countries lasts longer and longer, until the local business begins to decline - when they know that Loen does not have enough spending power and the local economy will gradually decline in the role of foreign trade, they will feel the pain."
"And by then, whether change will come will not be up to them."
Audrey listened to Klein's words and sighed slowly,
"This will cost a lot."
"Who says it's not?"
Klein shrugged his shoulders and smiled calmly: "But these prices must be paid. Of course, if these nobles and merchants continue to be stubborn, even if it means losing some anchors, I would rather get rid of them."
"Under their threat, humanity may face doom at any time. Under such circumstances, neither I nor Mr. Fool will have the patience to nurture this country."
At this point, Klein changed his tone and said, "Moreover, sometimes, the value cannot be changed by the amount of anchors they can bring."
They... Audrey seemed to have thought of something, but the next moment she seemed to see a vague gray mist, which made her forget the memory she seemed to have just recalled.
"This is…" After "seeing" the gray fog, she spoke in surprise. Klein nodded and said, "This is a gift from Mr. Fool to us."
"As we fight against the evil god and spread Mr. Fool's faith, we will encounter a lot of dangerous knowledge. Especially for you who are not a complete mythical creature, some of this knowledge is deadly."
Klein gently tapped his temple with his index finger: "At times like this, 'ignorance' is the best protection that the gods give to ordinary people."
"I understand." Audrey sighed deeply.
"Praise the Fool."
Klein nodded and continued walking with Audrey. As the two of them were trekking towards Intis, Audrey suddenly spoke to Klein,
"Mr. World."
Klein turned his head slightly and looked at the student beside him whom he had accepted a year and a half ago. He instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"Speaking of which, I met another follower of Mr. Fool before." Audrey hesitated to speak, but after seeing Klein's expression, she continued to speak to him:
"He calls himself 'Klein Moretti', and is Mr. Fool's 'Angel of Death'… Do you know Him?"
Klein's expression suddenly became tense. He turned his head to look at Audrey, with a look of surprise on his face: "He told you?"
Audrey nodded obediently, and Klein felt mixed emotions. The haunting laughter of Tianzun reappeared in his mind, and the next moment, the memory of Moretti's perspective at that time appeared in Klein's eyes:
"Klein Moretti, just call me Moretti, don't call me Klein. Oh, this is just a little habit of mine." Mr. Moretti said casually, his tone calm: "I am the Angel of Death under Mr. Fool."
After Klein recalled all this, he immediately gnashed his teeth - it was obvious that the High-Dimensional Overlooker was behind all this. Klein remembered what the High-Dimensional Overlooker had said to him about Audrey before, and it was hard not to think that this guy had been preparing for this for a long time before he opened his mouth.
"It's true…" Klein sighed slowly, and finally accepted his fate: "I know him."
"Mr. Moretti once said that He might return to Mr. Fool after the God War. Then, Mr. World, as Mr. Fool's favorite, will you return to Mr. Fool?"
Audrey looked a little nervous for a moment.
"Although we are all followers of the Fool, the relationship between me and the Angel of Death, and between the two of us and Mr. Fool is different." Klein shook his head slowly and asked casually, "Why do you think of asking such a question?"
Klein suspected that there was something behind all this. He believed that the High-Dimensional Overlooker would do anything to add an anchor to himself - even if the High-Dimensional Overlooker was once a human, his ideology was now obviously closer to that of the Outer Gods.
He supports himself and will do his best to push factors that are beneficial to suppressing the will of the Heavenly Lord to his side, but beneficial does not mean right, not to mention that the concepts of this foreign god and real humans are ultimately different.
Audrey breathed softly:
"That's what you just said."
"Mr. World, you have never talked to me like this before - ah, you used to be my teacher, but you were also very quiet at that time: you talk so much now that I always have a feeling that, well, you will disappear one day."
If I disappear, then I will most likely become a god or fail. Haha, this can be regarded as "returning to the Fool" for others...
"I hope this won't happen."
Klein raised his head:
"We're here."
"Intis' Trier. I need to investigate what this ally of the God of Truth – Mr. Fool – is doing."
