Arriving on the street of the village, before Klein raised the lantern and looked around, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared above his head.
It passed across the sky silently, and after a long time, the low thunder reached the ears of the two people. Before that, Klein had already used the flash of light to see the surrounding environment clearly, and found that he was on a street composed of houses that were obviously designed and built for giants.
"The wooden doors and windows have long since decayed and disappeared, leaving only the stone frames. The moss has died and has almost become a fossil; there are no Star and Moon above the head, and only lightning can bring short-term light... It is consistent with what I described after Angel 'traveled' and returned last time. This is the Forsaken Land of the Gods where 'Sun' Derrick lives..."
He analyzed it subconsciously in his mind and connected the scene in front of him with the historical knowledge about Forsaken Land of the Gods that he had learned before. The "Scholar of Yore" Potion that had not moved for a long time in his body actually showed a trace of looseness and showed signs of digestion.
It seems that what he is missing is the history of "East Continent", as well as the cause of Forsaken Land of the Gods and his experience over the past millennium... He had a clear understanding, held up the lantern, looked at Angel beside him, and said with a smile:
"I just got something here... Let's go see the Burial Ground you mentioned."
Harvest, does it mean the digestion of Potion?
Angel looked at Klein who was looking around excitedly, and was also happy for him.
The two of them crossed the street that had not been visited for countless years and walked towards the corner of the village.
During the not-so-long journey, Angel discovered that although most of the traces of life in this village had been erased by time, the dense stone pillars on the street were still intact. They were about four meters high, like a row of pillars that had lost their walls.
But Angel keenly discovered that if judged by the height of the giant, they are just lamp posts at best - the bowl-shaped protrusions above are containers carrying liquid fuel.
"There should still be people moving here after 'Great Cataclysm'. It wasn't until the surrounding food was exhausted and the environment was completely destroyed that it gradually withered and eventually died."
She said confirmingly to Klein beside her, who nodded and agreed with her.
When Sun is shining, starlight, and Crimson Moon are dotted, such a small village does not need such intensive lighting. Only when Evernight becomes eternal and dangerous "Forsaken Land of the Gods", the importance of lighting exceeds everything else.
Of course, the artificial light did not allow this village to survive. Even if they avoided the dangers in Evernight and tried to use monster corpses as food to survive, they ended up like the villages of Bansy Harbor and Sona Island. Due to the leakage of the power of "City of Calamity", they were inevitably contaminated, and eventually their heads were separated in some kind of crazy sacrifice and died.
As long as the population of the ethnic group is reduced to a certain level, it will be impossible to reproduce. They will either migrate to other villages or cities, or they will gradually become monsters in the pollution and sink together with the corrupted creatures hidden in Evernight...
Thinking like this, Angel cast her gaze into the endless darkness outside the village. She could barely see the rolling hills in the distance, the endless plains and zero Star man-made buildings.
Wandering in the wilderness are various strange-looking monsters. They are looming in the darkness, like pieces of black mist moving silently. They have been paying attention to the only light in the village, but they seem to sense danger and dare not approach.
It's completely different from the last time I came here. It seems that even if these monsters are crazy and distorted, they can clearly sense that Sequence 5 can be bullied at will, and Sequence 2 must not get close... She smiled secretly, ignoring these monsters who might have been normal humans or giants before, but brought Klein to the "Burial Ground" where countless giant bones were buried.
Next to the large open-air pit that had been exposed by the wind for many years and buried things underneath, Klein finally saw the "aboriginal people" of this village. They had become skeletons that were more than two meters high and missing spines and heads. There was a small open space separated from the skulls piled together, as if they had been carefully placed.
"It looks like a sacrificial venue, like Mountain Top Cave of Bansy Harbor..."
Klein held up the lantern and commented, then fished out a gold coin from the void that had been with him for a while, but now it was in Reinette's mouth or somewhere else. He bounced it up, closed his eyes slightly, and did a quick divination.
Bang - He grabbed the gold coin suddenly, frowned slightly, and muttered:
"The connection with Spirit World is very weak..."
This is bad news for "Seer" who is proficient in divination and can avoid many dangers according to Spirituality's reminders. It means that it is difficult for him to avoid plots in the dark and attacks out of sight, let alone predict dangers in advance and formulate battle plans in advance.
"The 'Mirror World' here is also self-contained and not connected to the outside world. This means that I cannot leave from Forsaken Land of the Gods through Mirror Tunnel and can only return the same way..."
Angel also grabbed a handful in the void, trying to grab the weapon hidden in "Mirror World", but found that this small area opened by Mirror World that belonged to her had also lost contact with her.
It was similar to Trier of Fourth Epoch, but it was jointly sealed by "God of Steam and Machinery" and "Eternal Blazing Sun". Where was "Forsaken Land of the Gods"... Angel looked up at the sky thoughtfully, and happened to see another lightning flash across her eyes, bringing a low roar and a brief light.
This is very similar to the feeling that the "Tyrant" card gives me... If I hadn't been promoted to Angel and had a deeper understanding of divinity and divine power, it would be difficult to discover the connection between the two... Could one of the powers of blocking Forsaken Land of the Gods originate from "Lord of Storms", which was the former "Wind Angel" Leodoro?
With this level of knowledge, she quickly discovered more clues:
The power that makes people disappear without a trace in the darkness, and no clues can be found using various methods, may come from "Evernight Goddess" Amanises, who was once "Misfortune Goddess";
The fallen creatures that wander around and can use shadows to move quickly have similar powers to "Shepherd" and "Black Knight". Angel is guessed to be related to Sequence 0 and "True Creator" of this Pathway.
At least three True God teamed up to seal this land... No, "True Creator" is probably in a passive defensive state. His followers tried to come here to worship God through "God War Ruins", which shows that it is very likely that he will stay in Forsaken Land of the Gods, a land of darkness and rampant degenerate forces...
With Klein observing Burial Ground, Angel quickly figured out the sources of various powers that Forsaken Land of the Gods had escaped.
After listening to her narration, Klein not only had no worries, but answered with an even brighter smile:
"So, the followers of Primordial Moon and Zarathus, the forces I was originally worried about, are unlikely to interfere with me. The former will naturally be blocked by the righteous gods, and the latter was once exiled by Goddess to that Mist Town. They will only suspect that my coming here is a trap, especially after the last temptation was resolutely counterattacked...
"In this way, I only have to face Amon, whose true form is unknown, as well as the followers of 'True Creator' who may react. Although the power I can borrow has also been reduced, the enemy is clearer."
This was the main reason why he came to Forsaken Land of the Gods besides digesting "Scholar of Yore" Potion.
Creating a micro-earthquake, Angel re-buried the open-air Burial Ground with the surrounding floating soil, so that the villagers who died tragically due to the leakage of "City of Calamity" power would no longer be exposed to the wind... Although there was no sunshine, it was still not a good thing to be exposed in the wilderness.
Then, she and Klein returned to the house where Forsaken Land of the Gods entered the basement.
"You really don't need me to stay a few more days?"
Looking at the sky where the lightning frequency dropped significantly, Angel asked.
"Anyway, you will eventually return to a fixed point in time through here. What's the point of a few more days and a few less days? If something unexpected happens during this period, it might cause both of us to lose the chance to leave 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'..."
Klein shook the lantern Historical Image, which was summoned for an unknown number of times, and said calmly.
Of course he hopes that Angel can always be by his side, but Forsaken Land of the Gods's search for "Demonic Wolf" must be arduous and long. Angel, whose time has been "anchored" at the entrance of Sona Island, cannot always accompany him.
"... And, can't I summon you Historical Image at any time?"
As he said that, Klein pulled at his side with his free hand, and a Angel with a dull expression and dull eyes emerged from Historical Void shaking.
From this point of view, I was really stupid when I let my brain go... Looking at Historical Image, whose appearance and dress were exactly the same as mine, Angel muttered a few words and tried to hide into Mirror World. His consciousness immediately awakened in this "clone", and his expression became vivid.
"But you have to remember that when I am in the outside world, 'Mirror World' and Forsaken Land of the Gods are not connected, and Historical Image cannot be transformed into the real me."
This fake Angel said.
Seeing Klein's expression a little sad, she added with a smile:
"... At most, I come here from Sona Island every once in a while, and you can summon my Historical Image anywhere in Forsaken Land of the Gods and have me come directly to you."
After that, she deliberately opened her arms to let Klein take the initiative to embrace her, but at the last moment she gave up on maintaining Historical Image's sanity and became dull, leaving Klein in vain.
Leaving all the "Calamity" and other Charm he carried with him to Klein, Angel returned to the basement, used his blood to reactivate the runes connecting Forsaken Land of the Gods and Sona Island, and returned to the depths of the Berserk Sea in a burst of darkness.
She looked at "Mirror World" with emotion as the dim runes were restored and her body naturally disappeared into the outside world. She was about to return to Backlund when she suddenly felt the world spinning.
Then, she saw deep in the Mirror World, a deep darkness rushed towards her quickly, like a tide, like the rushing "Catastrophe" and "Apocalypse".
