Erosion?
Angel immediately thought of the family that was killed by "Rose Bishop" using Flesh Bomb in Tingen City, the mutated animals in the sewers of Backlund Bridge Borough, and the monsters Forsaken Land of the Gods wandering in the darkness that seemed to be affected by the divine power of "True Creator".
But then she thought that the fact that Klein could maintain his current composure and come here through Mr. Fool's Gray Fog "disinfection" meant that this "erosion" was not serious, so she deliberately asked in a plain tone:
"What erosion?"
Seeing that Angel straightened up even though he didn't seem to care, Klein chuckled secretly, then returned to his normal tone to explain everything that had happened before.
After Angel used "Luck" against "Misfortune" and used the secret power of Mother of the Sky to hunt down Cottar, Klein was planning to take advantage of that Velvet Curtain After E was destroyed by the power of Lord of Storms left behind by Forsaken Land of the Gods, when it was put away in a weak state and initially sealed to avoid more accidents, an evil, dark, and depraved aura suddenly descended on the ruins of the castle.
This real evil god probably paid attention to him because Klein recited his Honorific Name prayer to him when he caught Cottar's attention, and let his power come at the right time.
It got under the "curtain" and used it as a cloak to form the dark Vortex. It seemed that with the support of this Beyonder Characteristic, it formed a specific image with only part of its divine power and aura, and started a brief dialogue with Klein.
"He asked me to go to Giant King’s Court and meet the 'Dark Angel' Sastiel sleeping inside... This is the same request as Amon, but they are obviously hostile. I came into contact with several Amon clones before when I moved eastward Calling True Creator 'Hanged Man', thinking that he is the fallen body that took away some of his power after the death of his father Ancient Sun God, and Adam is looking for an opportunity to resurrect the real Sun God... There should be no common interests between them."
Klein frowned and said, confused by this "contradiction".
"If they all ask you to go to Giant King’s Court, then don't go at all. We will find another way to solve your Promotion Ritual problem." Angel also intuitively felt that there was some kind of God in Giant King’s Court's memory. A problem that neither nor King of Angel wanted to face, he persuaded, "For example, we promote 'Dream City' as the Trensoest Empire legacy of Fourth Epoch, and bring this hidden history back to reality?"
"I had this idea at first, but the return of 'Dream City' Partis is mainly due to you and Anne, even that Amon's clone has done more than me... If he hadn't already infiltrated 'Ghost Empire', I even suspect that Amon's purpose is to prevent me from using this hidden history..."
With a sigh, Klein returned to the previous topic.
"... Furthermore, after making the request, 'True Creator', based on these words, planted some kind of 'seed' of power and aura in my body, allowing it to erode my Spirit Body and body.
"This kind of corrosion will not mutate my body, nor will it affect my Spirit Body, nor will it let 'True Creator' know my location and status. Its only purpose is to continuously guide me in mysticism, allowing me to go to 'Giant King’s Court' and meet Sastiel.
"Because of this, it can protect its existence very well, so that even Mr. 'Fool''s Gray Fog cannot clear the seed unless it destroys my Spirit Body.
"And from this weak connection, I learned that when dealing with 'Demonic Wolf' Cottar, He sent out 'Angel of fate' Ouroboros, which had some influence on the edge of the battlefield and made us more Luck, while Cottar was the opposite... This was the 'reward' He paid in advance."
That "Snake of Mercury" who is in the same Sequence as "Snake of Fate" Will, but has an extra copy of Sequence 1 Characteristic, also came to the battlefield? No wonder Cottar acted exactly according to the script. It turned out that his future fate had been fixed by a King of Angel; no wonder Amon knew clearly that we were dealing with Cottar, still hasn't arrived... Angel Only then did he understand that the unlucky demon wolf had been "entertained" by many True God and King of Angel, and it could be said that he died unjustly.
Of course, the reason why Ouroboros did not appear and was only exerting the influence of fate from afar is because once he appeared on the battlefield, whether it was Cottar or Angel, they would immediately stop fighting and escape as far as they could. Then Klein's plan would be a complete failure.
"So, 'Giant King’s Court' must go there..."
Thinking that Klein had accepted the "gift" and had been eroded by the power of corruption, Angel sighed and said with some worry.
She was originally considering using the power of "City of Calamity" to remove the erosion on Klein's body, but this meant letting Klein die and wasting his Last Time chance of resurrection. It is better to take the risk and go to "Giant King’s Court". The worst result is death once, and there is a chance to take City of Silver away from Forsaken Land of the Gods and complete the ritual of "Miracle Invoker".
Klein, who had the same idea, nodded and said:
"This is also the action we have been planning. Now it is just more attention from 'True Creator'... Anyway, this matter not only involves Amon, Adam The gods of the North Continent seemed to be happy to see it. Maybe 'Lord of Storms' refused to provide help and lent '0-32' just because he wanted me to come to Forsaken Land of the Gods."
So wasn't that why you stuffed the donation box with the money in History Void... Angel muttered and continued to discuss the follow-up plan with Klein, especially how to explore Giant King’s Court and help City of Silver leave.
After confirming that they had to go there, both of them believed that the matter should be done as quickly as possible, because the war between Loen and other countries has entered a white-hot stage, and a trend sweeping the world has taken shape, and Adam may surrender at any time. The next Potion is promoted to "Visionary" of Sequence 0. After that, he will not be afraid of other True God and may intervene in the promotion of Klein at any time.
And Amon also gathered all Sequence 1 Characteristic and Uniqueness. From Pallez, we learned that the ceremony to become "Error" is to replace each other among other Apotheosis Ritual position, and the only one who has the potential to become a god recently is his brother Adam. If Amon wants to be promoted to Sequence 0 as soon as possible, he is most likely eyeing Adam and has no time to care about "Forsaken Land of the Gods".
This means that Amon will only have a small number of low-level clones of Sequence left in Forsaken Land of the Gods, while other beings are happy to see Klein enter "Giant King’s Court". This is the golden time for him to follow the trend and be promoted to "Miracle Invoker".
Of course, Klein has not doubted that the objects of Amon's "replacement ceremony" do not include non-Adjacent Pathways beings. This is also consistent with his efforts to promote his promotion to Sequence 2. Consistent, He hopes to cultivate a "Mystic Seer" who has a chance to become a god, and then waits for an opportunity to replace the other person and become Dual Pathways God of Marauder and Seer.
But even if he has such concerns, Klein will not choose to back down. After all, becoming Sequence 2 is the qualification to become a "chess piece" on the chessboard of the world.
After sending Angel away, the figure of "The World" disappeared in Gray Fog. "Fool" Klein returned to his high-backed chair. He waved to summon "" who was hidden behind the chair. Miracle Invoker" features and appearance are translucent Velvet Curtain's "Mystic Seer" features, making these two parts fit snugly among Gray Fog without any unusual features falling on the table, staring closely at them.
Before "True Creator" left, in addition to the instructions "Go to Giant King’s Court" and the seed that eroded him, he also left a sentence that only he could hear:
"Don't use that ownerless attribute to advance."
Watching Mist Wall, which was directly composed of Gray Fog, spit out the "curtain" that seemed to be a fusion of Sequence 2 and Sequence 1 Characteristic that had been prepared for him, Klein fell into deep thought.
Backlund, the basement of a dilapidated apartment that secretly belongs to MI9.
Xio Derecha, who quickly became a middle-level cadre of MI9 by knowing "Acting Method" and possessing Tarot Club's resources, wore leather boots and a windbreaker with increased height and walked slowly into the interrogation room set up underground.
Two of her subordinates were already waiting here. Bucket in the center of the interrogation room was tied up with a middle-aged man dressed in work clothes. He had a beard, his hands were tied behind his back, and his whole body was soaked in ice-filled water. He had already lost body temperature, and his skin was pale and trembling slightly.
The order above was not to kill the captured "Parade Organizers" to avoid consequences that the royal family and nobles did not want to see, but MI9 had a lot of means to make people speak easily without leaving permanent disabilities.
Seeing the leader arriving, the two interrogators added a few more pieces of ice to the water, and then stood aside.
Xio put his hands behind his back to make himself appear more Intimidation powerful. He stood in front of the man and asked in a deep voice:
"Aren't you still recruiting? Your companions have all surrendered to the Lord's envoy in exchange for their freedom."
As she spoke, she used a bit of the cold breath belonging to "Disciplinary Paladin", mixed with the reduced power of "Mental Piercing", making her face full of beard Affliction, struggling in the ice bucket.
Finally, amidst the temperature that almost froze his blood and the needle-like pain in his brain, he yelled:
"There is no messenger! Each of us acts according to our own will!
"Do those nobles think that throwing out a few merchants can satisfy everyone? What they do will only let everyone know that merchants who hoard food are abandoned sons who can be sacrificed at any time, and the nobles are the masterminds behind the scenes!
"If you want to secretly execute me, just do it. The next me, thousands of me, will appear sooner or later. As long as people in East Borough are starving to death, workers' wives have to trade their bodies for food, and children are still hungry and crying, this powder keg of Backlund will explode at any time!"
His enthusiasm made Xio frown, and he instinctively suspected that the other party was affected by some extraordinary power. Just as he was about to continue asking something, he suddenly heard a low rumbling sound coming from somewhere, the basement also trembled slightly, and a lot of dust was scattered on the ceiling.
After carefully identifying the direction, Xio's expression became a little solemn.
The vibrations and sounds came from the west, from Backlund's last line of defense against the Intis, Feynapotter armies.
Forsaken Land of the Gods, City of Silver.
Lightning in the sky becomes more frequent again, signaling the arrival of a new day.
Although Sun has left this continent for thousands of years, people living here still use the method before Age of Darkness to record the passage of time. When lightning is frequent, it is daytime, when lightning subsides, it is Evernight. One cycle is one day.
City of Silver residents guarding the city gate suddenly discovered that in the light of lightning, two figures were slowly walking towards here.
They were carrying lanterns and bathed in the dim but very safe firelight. They were obviously humans and not monsters in the dark!
