As soon as he entered Grey Fog Space and appeared at the long bronze table, Angel discovered that this Tarot Club was a little different from "before".

Specifically, her vision became clearer, and Gray Fog, which shrouded the other members and blurred their faces, leaving only the outline, hair color, and eye color, seemed to have dissipated.

But when she looked carefully, she found that it was not the gray-white mist that had changed, but herself.

Her sight could penetrate Gray Fog and fall on other Tarot Club members, and she could clearly see all the details of these people.

"Hanged Man" Alger, who has blue hair as messy as seaweed, deep facial features, and a serious expression; gradually begins to grow in height, but his expression looks childish, and he looks at "Sun" Derrick at the top of the long table with a pious look.; "Moon" Emlyn, who has bright red pupils and handsome appearance, always holding his head up with a sense of arrogance; "Star" Leonard, who has a casual hairstyle and a poet-like romantic temperament that is concealed by maturity and restraint...

In order to avoid being noticed by others, Angel only glanced at the row of men opposite her, and easily recognized every Tarot Club member she had come into contact with in real life.

And when she met the other person's eyes, she could also confirm that she was still shrouded in Gray Fog in the other person's eyes, and she could only see the outline. Otherwise, being stared at by a Demoness Angel like this, even a person of the same sex would not be indifferent.

Is this a preferential treatment for me? Highlight my specialness? Angel glanced at Mr. "Fool" and found that he still had a layer of mist in his eyes, and couldn't help but snorted softly in his heart.

And all this fell into the eyes of "Justice" Audrey, who had been secretly looking at her.

Strangely, "Empress" Miss spent a particularly long time looking at other people today. She observed every man across from him from top to bottom, as if he was inspecting and evaluating something, and finally she even looked at Mr. "Fool"... But Mr. "World" was ignored instead. Normally, she would look at the end of the long table immediately... Audrey frowned in confusion. Various speculations emerged in her heart, but she didn't have time to think about it. She stood up first and raised her skirt to pay tribute to Mr. "Fool".

In her eyes, "Empress" Miss stood up with the same graceful posture, faced Mr. "Fool" who was very close to her, bowed slightly, and said in the same elegant voice as usual but with a hint of temptation involuntarily:

"Good afternoon, dear Mr. Fool."

At the same time, Audrey judged from the speed of other members' standing movements and the tone of their greetings that others had not noticed anything unusual about "Empress", even the "World", which had always been relatively indifferent.

Except for me, "Spectator", no one seems to have noticed this abnormality... Is there something wrong with their relationship? About some other man? Is she deliberately not looking at us to avoid suspicion? Audrey's eyes flickered, and he wanted to raise his hand to ask questions to satisfy his curiosity.

"Hanged Man" Alger, who was sitting diagonally across from her, had no room to think about the relationship between members in this way. When he said hello to Mr. "Fool", he was keenly aware that this mysterious existence today was different from the past. Under the gray-white mist, there was an aura that was a thousand times more terrifying than before.

It was as if he felt the absolute oppressive power of superiors over inferiors when he prayed to "Lord of Storms" at the Church of Storms headquarters.

Is Mr. "Fool"'s power further revived? He has once again possessed the person of Sequence 0? Is it because of the world war in the past year that God's relationship has changed, or is it because "The World" and "Empress" went to Forsaken Land of the Gods?

"You can start."

The deep voice of "Fool" came from behind Gray Fog. Alger, who was more sensitive to the levels of high-ranking people because of his promotion to "Cataclysmic Interrer", was trembling in his heart and did not dare to make any sound.

But unlike before, this time no member was eager to ask for a deal. Everyone had a doubt in their hearts, but no one asked first.

Until Angel, who was wearing thick-rimmed glasses and whose appearance was clearly seen, "Hermit" Cattleya looked around and spoke first:

"Just a few days ago, almost the entire world saw Strange Phenomenon of unknown origin but huge scale: Crimson Moon in the sky became like eyes, and Storm Convergence on the sea became a piece, covering the sudden appearance. The sun was scorching, and a mirage-like tower appeared in the sky near Lenburg. During that time, both Spirit World and Astral World were shaken, and all divination and predictions were strongly disturbed.

"And another piece of information I got said that Backlund and Evernight competed with each other at dusk in the sky. Plants in the city grew rapidly, and many areas became like virgin forests."

"Judgment" Xio Derecha, who was sitting next to her, tried hard to prop up his body to make himself look less small, and added:

"That day was the critical moment when Feysac, Intis and Feynapotter Three-Nation Allied Forces besieged Backlund. But as many Strange Phenomenon appeared and disappeared, the coalition forces collapsed as if they had lost their will to fight."

As a middle-level cadre of MI9, "Disciplinary Paladin" Xiu did not go to the frontal battlefield, but guarded Backlund from enemy Beyonder invasions and protected ordinary people. Therefore, she happened to see the trees beside the street growing wildly, becoming taller than the clock tower almost instantly, covering all the buildings. She was deeply impressed by this scene.

Both of them thought about the things discussed on Tarot Club shortly after the war started, and they had some speculations in their hearts.

At this moment, "Star" Leonard tentatively said:

"The abnormal state that occurred over Backlund, and even the entire North Continent, should be a symbol of a divine war. Appearing in the sky above Backlund, there are indeed 'Evernight Goddess', 'Earth Mother' and 'God of Combat'... As for the outcome of the God War, I think everyone should know it."

God war!

Cattleya, Xio, and even other members who were listening to the conversation attentively felt their breathing hitched, and unknowingly they sat up straight and their expressions became serious.

As early as the early days of the war, they learned from Tarot Club that the war sweeping the world was probably related to the conflict between God, and the climax of the entire war might be God personally stepping down and starting Fifth Epoch's first divine war.

But they did not expect that the almost one-sided war would completely reverse after the Divine War. The coalition forces that besieged Backlund were instantly defeated. Loen had already achieved a substantial victory. Whether they would use this to cease the war or counterattack other countries would all depend on the meaning of "Evernight Goddess" who had won the Divine War.

"So, Storm and the blazing sun on the sea, and the tower near Lenburg, are all part of the divine war? Except for 'God of Steam and Machinery' who remained neutral, all the other six righteous gods participated in the war?"

Alger said in a low voice, as if he was worried that his words would be heard by a grumpy God.

"That's how it should be. "Pallez, who had already been in the body for a long time, received the answer and Leonard nodded slightly.

Therefore, the six God should decide between ourselves and the enemy based on the relationship between each country, and start a divine war... No, it should be the other way around. The attitude of God determines the actions of each country, Lord of Storms and God of Wisdom fought together against Eternal Blazing Sun, while above Backlund, God of Combat joined forces with Earth Mother to attack Evernight Goddess...Alger lowered his head and pondered.

"Moses Ascetic Order" had already done some research on Strange Phenomenon during that period, and "Hermit" who had made a guess said doubtfully:

"This is incomprehensible to me. According to our previous inferences, Earth Mother should be Queen of Second Epoch's Giant King. Now God of Combat's mother, their mother and son were defeated by Evernight Goddess..."

"It's not a joint effort."

A soft voice came, and Angel left the back of the chair, turned his head and looked at the respected Mr. "Fool", and then glanced at the hooded "World" with a dull expression under Gray Fog.

All this was discovered by Klein, who was sitting at the head of the long table. He immediately understood what Angel meant, and turned to control the "world" to regain his vivid expression, and took over the conversation:

"The current 'Earth Mother' is not Giant Queen, the former 'Goddess of Harvest' Omebella. The real Omebella has died, and his remains are left in Forsaken Land of the Gods."

What? Is Earth Mother fake?

This breaking news was like a bomb that set off huge waves in everyone's hearts, making them sit motionless as if they were Demoness Petrification.

After a long time, "Hanged Man" Alger slowly asked:

"Really?"

Only then did he react and subconsciously glanced at Mr. "Fool" and found that his figure sitting behind Gray Fog remained motionless and did not refute or stop "The World"'s speech.

It seems that Mr. "World" discovered a lot of secrets during Forsaken Land of the Gods's exploration... With Fool's tacit approval, Alger immediately believed this statement and asked instead:

"But if that's the case, why is there the title 'Earth Mother Omebella' in the complete list of 'Rose Redemption' discovered by Forsaken Land of the Gods? That organization is composed of God and King of Angel. It is impossible not to discover the disguised True God... Even if they ignore this matter, how could God of Combat not know whether his mother is real or fake?"

"Unless the current 'Earth Mother' has been disguising himself as Omebella, just like..." "Magician" Fors used his imagination in writing novels, secretly looked at the "world" and said, "... using the ability of 'Faceless'."

Cattleya, who is rich in occult knowledge, immediately retorted:

"Impossible, that is the real God. Apart from appearance, there are too many ways to identify it."

"Also..." Fors muttered, shrinking his neck and trying his best to lose his sense of existence.

"Justice" Audrey secretly withdrew his gaze from Angel, realizing that the other party was probably already aware of the matter, and his previous action was to give the opportunity to speak to "the world".

After hearing the conversation between the two, she thought for a moment and said:

"It's not impossible. If someone from God helps with this concealment, it might be possible to hide it from other 'Rose Redemption' members."

"But what is the purpose of doing this..." Cattleya frowned, and just as he was about to refute, his eyes suddenly lit up.

A certain God helped "Earth Mother" conceal the truth that he was not Omebella...

This helper was probably also in "Rose Redemption", so that he could hide from "God of Combat" who had become God at that time...

And helping "Earth Mother" must require rewards...

"God of Combat" and "Earth Mother" were defeated by "Evernight Goddess"...

Evernight Goddess Amanises is a member of "Rose Redemption"!

Cattleya looked at the "world" Klein and blurted out:

"Is it 'Evernight Goddess'?"

Klein nodded, satisfied with the thinking speed of other members, and added:

"Perhaps with the help of that Ancient Sun God, 'Earth Mother' succeeded in Stealing the fate of Omebella, hiding it from all God until now."

With the help of Two Gods, one of them is "Rose Redemption", and the other one is actually the target of "Rose Redemption", the fallen Sun God... "Hermit"Cattleya's eyes flickered behind his thick glasses, realizing that if his own "Mysticologist"Potion had not been digested, he would definitely feel strong feedback at this time.

This is the secret knowledge between God!

After a moment, she collected her thoughts and continued to ask:

"Then who is 'Earth Mother' now?"

This is a question common to all Tarot Club members here, even Angel is no exception.

It's a pity that Klein doesn't know about this either. I wonder how he can pretend now... She snickered inwardly and thought about how to help poor Mr. World settle things down later.

"The 'Earth Mother' who has been pretending to be Omebella for thousands of years is the fallen ancient god, the ancestor of Sanguine, Lilith."

"The World"'s low words made her stunned.
