Returning to reality easily from "Mirror World", Angel appeared in the ruins of Uninhabited Village that was Sona Island deep in the Berserk Sea.

Half a year ago, she was attacked here by the Demoness Sect's "Blue Witch". The battle between the two resulted in the complete destruction of the only port on the island. The residents rescued by Angel also settled elsewhere under the arrangement of Church of Storms, making this place a no-man's land.

But Angel discovered that many people have secretly returned to the island recently. They rebuilt a dock near the huge pothole created by Primordial Demoness Cheek's escaped trace of divine power. They brought in more people and seemed to plan to turn this place into a new port city.

She speculated that these people might have returned to this island with a good environment and fresh water to escape the war in the Rhoside Islands.

"Fortunately, they did not come to this abandoned village, otherwise any trace of power from 'City of Calamity' would be enough to make them go crazy or die, or even turn into monsters with their bodies and heads separated..."

Angel murmured, and came to the basement leading to "Forsaken Land of the Gods", and stood on the altar painted with complex patterns and symbols. However, he did not "travel" immediately, but whispered Honorific Name from Mr. Fool.

This is a task that the existence specially ordered after Tarot Club last time, requiring Angel to report the war trends she has grasped in the form of prayer in the near future. And she learned from Klein that the other party also received a similar task.

Could it be that just like when George III was promoted, the resurrected God will intervene in the war between the seven gods again?

She thought about it, summarized the information obtained from Helene and Shermane in her mind and whispered:

"... Bayam Those rebels who believe in 'Sea God' have reached an agreement with the local colonial government and Church of Storms, and peacefully handed over governance rights. The military and church forces rushed back to the North Continent, preparing to support Backlund, and the rebels will form a provisional government to ensure the safety and interests of the Loen people who remain in the local area...

"...Backlund's defense line has retreated to the suburbs. The armies of Feysac and Intis have converged near White Cliff Town. Feynapotter has cut off Tussock River's sea entrance from the south. The war may be over soon, ending with the complete defeat of Loen.

"... The only good news is that Church of Steam did not go deep into this war. They have always maintained neutrality in Backlund's church, but with the fall of Backlund, this neutrality may not last long..."

After reporting the recent news, Angel waited for a moment but did not receive a response from Mr. Fool.

"It feels like a routine prayer. Maybe not just Klein, but all Tarot Club members need to do this... Is it some kind of special ritual?"

She sighed a few words, estimated that time was almost up, used her own blood to activate the runes on the ground, and came to "Forsaken Land of the Gods" in the sudden darkness, appearing in the basement of the abandoned giant village.

After many trips back and forth between the outside world and Forsaken Land of the Gods, the area that Angel must pass through has long been cleaned up by her. Those who are still alive also regard this village as a place of death and dare not approach it at all.

She lit a lantern, left the basement and came to the silent street, waiting for Klein's "call" under the paint Evernight sky that kept flashing lightning.

This time to explore Giant King’s Court, Angel made sufficient preparations. He communicated with the Hella Berg Archbishop of "City of Exile" Molora in advance and obtained permission to borrow the power of "0-01". The other Grade 0 Sealed Artifact "Sword of Glory" was also in Partis's Underground Memorial Hall, surrounded by mirrors and could summon projections at any time.

She simply didn't bring the other Demigod-level Mystical Item, such as "Angelica's Edge", "Rose Necklace", and "Wings of Death". On the one hand, Forsaken Land of the Gods's Mirror World are not connected to the outside world, and Angel needs to bring them here one by one, which is very troublesome; on the other hand, during several battles with Angel, she found that Mystical Item, which is equivalent to a "1" level Sealed Artifact, no longer has much effect.

"If 'Rose Necklace' Grazing kills a certain Traveler, it will still be of some use. Otherwise, all kinds of Prohibition and Execution will not have much effect on Angel. Why don't I just go up and chop it..."

While Angel was sighing at the popularity of Apprentice Pathway, he summoned the hot blue and purple flames of Cursed Black Flame and Hunter belonging to Demoness in his hand, watching them merge with each other to become "Flames of Destruction" which is pure black and seems to contain all different colors.

Then, the flame that could destroy everything condensed and took shape in her hand, turning into a long black sword with a straight blade and Edge burning quietly on both sides.

In the process of constantly acting as the master of "Catastrophe", creating Catastrophe on the battlefield, and calming Catastrophe on the ocean, Angel has digested some of the problems through corresponding feedback. Potion was divided into Sequence 2, and the war that spread around the world started with her preventing the promotion of George III and ending the would-be God, which also allowed her to get more feedback during the development.

This gave her a deeper grasp of the corresponding power of Sequence 2, and she understood the name of Potion, and the meaning of "Catastrophe" was not only to bring Catastrophe and control Catastrophe, but also pointed to the corresponding authority and some abstract concepts.

Adjacent Pathways Hunter's "Weakness Detection" is the embodiment of this authority in terms of ability, and Angel, which incorporates the power of Dual Pathways, can take advantage of the enemy as early as Sequence 3 The "connection" destroys it as a whole. After becoming Angel, it can directly control "Flames of Destruction" and completely kill the enemy from the body, Spirit Body, even if it only attacks the avatar, mirror or Marionette.

No matter how many "1" level Sealed Artifact there are, they can't be compared to such a straightforward "Catastrophe" that targets the enemy's body.

"Unfortunately, I, Sequence 2, cannot yet use the power of 'Chaos' in places other than 'City of Calamity'. That may be an ability that can only be used after mastering the power of Sequence 1 or even Demoness Uniqueness..."

Angel sighed, scattered Black Flame in his hand, and turned to evaluate the strength of "Dark Angel" Sastiel sleeping in Giant King’s Court.

According to Amon, this King of Angel is actually a "doppelgänger" created by his father Ancient Sun God in order to separate his negative personality, and possesses part of his Beyonder Characteristic, authority and consciousness, but after Angel knew "Chaos Sea" Pathway controlled by Sefirah, he felt that such a thing was unlikely.

As God who is not crazy and sane, Ancient Sun God must only have the power of himself and Adjacent Pathways, which means that he can only have "Sun" and "" at most. Storm", "Spectator" is "Visionary", "Secrets Suppliant" is "Hanged Man", and "Reader" is five Pathway.

After Sun God died and his body and characteristics were eaten by several King of Angel, "Sun", "Reader" and "Storm" three Pathway's Sequence 1, Uniqueness is in the hands of three True God, "Hanged Man" obviously belongs to the one "True Creator", and "Visionary" is collected by Sun God's descendant Adam.

This means that the legacy of God, who has probably collected all Adjacent Pathways, has some control over Sefirah and "Chaos Sea", and almost touched Above the Sequence's "Great Old One", has been divided up, and nothing is left.

Then how can "Dark Angel" Sastiel have additional Beyonder Characteristic? Unless he is just a collection of a large number of characteristics of Sequence 2 or Low Sequence, which is equivalent to an evil spirit who combines multiple abilities but falls into madness...

But if it's just Angel, Forsaken Land of the Gods's "True Creator" with multiple abilities, the seven gods outside and Amon, Adam These two King of Angel don't have to wait for Angel and Klein to push open the door of Giant King’s Court. They can solve the problem by just lowering their strength.

"There is only one possibility. Sastiel can master the power of 'Chaos Sea' to some extent, or is contaminated by it, which is equivalent to a Angel 0 who has mastered the power of Sefirah., this makes it difficult for the gods who are Sequence 0 but do not possess the personality of Sefirah... If we judge the power of 'Dark Angel' at this level..."

Angel muttered and suddenly smiled.

Because she herself is now equivalent to "Angel who has mastered the power of Sefirah", even worse than "Dark Angel", because the other party has "Chaos Sea", and is the only Sefirah other than "Sefirah Castle" that has not been sealed in the Western Continent.

At this moment, Angel felt that his Spirituality was touched. A certain "Scholar of Yore" pulled the projection of her past out of History Void, turning her into a physical "Mirror Substitution".

It started... She took a deep breath, disappeared into Mirror World, and then swapped places with her double.

Outside Giant King’s Court, an orange flame suddenly shot up. Klein The figure wearing a black windbreaker flew out of the fire and landed on the ground in a somewhat embarrassed state.

His appearance at this time was as if he had been cut open in the middle, with the two sides showing completely different appearances. The right side of his face, neck and body under the clothes were the same as usual, while the left side was composed of translucent worms entangled with each other, constantly Distortion, as if it wanted to exist independently from the other half of the body.

"Haha, ha," Klein, which is half Gehrman and half a worm's human body, held his stomach and laughed wildly and exaggeratedly, "Marionette has been contaminated by people, and its shadow has been taken away. Now it can't even get to 'Sefirah Castle'..."

Amid the exaggerated laughter, Klein's thoughts remained calm. He did not spend any effort to control his uncontrollable negative emotions, but quickly assessed the current situation.

When exploring "Giant King’s Court" just now, he had already taken adequate protective measures. He first replaced the main body with Historical Projection, and then let the projection pull out a new projection, using his previous one Marionette. "Winner" Enyouni, who died after "Dream City" was separated from Spirit Body Threads for too long, took the huge "Key of Death" to open the door of Giant King’s Court.

But he didn't expect the turbulent force that appeared in the crack of the door. The illusory ocean that was like a mixture of all colors swallowed up Enyouni in an instant, eroding him into a strange appearance with wings on his back and a shadow on his face. He also used the connection between Marionette and the projection, the projection and the body to cut out the shadow of Klein and become an independent existence.

Therefore, part of his power was taken away by the shadow, and he is currently in an incomplete state of Spirit Body. Although he can think normally and use Beyonder Ability normally, the negative emotions in his heart are difficult to suppress, and sometimes he becomes crazy and reckless.

Using the ability of "Joker", Klein turned this crazy emotion that would affect the battle into exaggeration in words and actions to minimize the harm to himself. However, he still found that because of the appearance of "two Klein", he was currently unable to board "Sefirah Castle" and return to Gray Fog to exert his maximum power.

Fortunately, the shadow over there was also blocked by him and could not enter Sefirah Castle. The two sides were on the same level.

I'm afraid I have to completely solve the divided shadow before my Spirituality and power will be complete. Then I couldn't deal with "Dark Angel" before... But that shadow should have my memory, thinking and power. I want to Fighting him was equivalent to fighting himself, plus the eroded Marionette, it was really... Klein kept pouring out all kinds of curse words in his heart, and after a while, reason prevailed and suppressed the crazy emotions.

It was only then that he noticed that he had forgotten something important.

Since Shadow has the same thinking and power as him, he will definitely do one thing now...

Klein Half of the face belonging to Gehrman turned pale, and the other half of the transparent worm began to squirm faster. He stretched out his right hand wearing Black Gloves, tentatively grabbed a handful in the air, and slowly recovered it.

His palms were empty.

Historical Image of Angel did not respond to the call.
