Lilith? The ancestor of Sanguine?
Most people at the long bronze table have heard of this name, but only once. Like "Flegrea", "Aurmir" and other Second Epoch ancient gods, they are just a fragment in their memory.
But I didn't expect that the name Mr. "World" mentioned was actually related to "Earth Mother", one of the seven God.
Among them, "Moon" Emlyn reacted the most intensely. He sat up straight, his bright red eyes as round as Crimson Moon's, his mind was in a mess, and he instinctively retorted:
"How is it possible that the ancestor will still respond to us? He cannot be..."
Halfway through, he froze.
Yes, in the historical records of "Forsaken Land of the Gods" City of Silver, Ancient God Lilith has fallen in the melee between the gods of Second Epoch, and Sanguine can still communicate with it intermittently. Doesn't this mean that the ancestor is still passing on Divine Revelation in some way?
Seeing his dull expression, other Tarot Club members also showed more or less shocked expressions. Klein, who was sitting in the "Fool" high-back chair, felt a little proud in his heart.
After being promoted to Sequence 2, he successfully left Forsaken Land of the Gods and returned to Backlund. He immediately summoned Arrodes, which was still stored underground in Saint Hillan Cathedral, and learned a lot of information from it that he had missed after entering Forsaken Land of the Gods.
Among them is the true identity of "Earth Mother".
According to the mirror that had been flattering and wanted Klein to steal it from Church of Steam, at the critical moment of the divine war, an Affliction, angry voice came from Evernight Goddess's "Darkened Heaven" deep in Astral World, and he called out the name of Sanguine's ancestor.
There is no doubt that it was the roar of the betrayed "God of Combat".
Klein did not tell Angel about this matter in advance. On the one hand, although Earth Mother's true identity was important, it was not urgent. On the other hand, he also wanted to see Angel show the same surprised and confused expressions as other Tarot Club members.
Seeing the thoughtful look on Angel's face that only he could see clearly behind Gray Fog, his little thought was finally satisfied.
This is some kind of humane expression, which is helpful for me to fight against Mental Imprint who belongs to Oldest One and Creator in Beyonder Characteristic... Klein muttered in his heart and did not try to suppress this playful mentality. Instead, he used the "world" tone to continue:
"If you think about it carefully, Church of the Earth likes to develop Sanguine as believers, and even locks them up and forcibly preach; 'Earth Mother' and 'Moon' are two adjacent lines that can interact with each other. Phase jump Pathway; and Second Epoch, Ancient God Lilith fell because of Giant King's betrayal, but He still occasionally answers Sanguine's prayers until now."
With such a reminder, everyone was thoughtful and no longer surprised that "the ancestor of Sanguine became Earth Mother".
Only Angel continued to frown, suspecting that Klein got the answer from Arrodes and deduced these reasons.
He actually hid it from me. I still wanted to see his joke. If I had hurriedly helped cover it up just now, I would have become a joke... She put it on her lap, and the fist blocked by the table became hard!
Sitting next to Angel, who was thinking about Mr. World's prompts, Audrey noticed these detailed body movements from the corner of his eye, and interpreted some kind of "angry" emotion, but it felt impossible.
She couldn't imagine "Empress" Miss being angry.
After a brief silence, "Hermit" Cattleya spoke first and concluded:
"Because Lilith was betrayed by Giant King, with the help of Evernight Goddess and Ancient Sun God, who had not yet taken back all the authority at the time, he killed Lilith. Omebella, who was Giant Queen at the time, died. Stealing took his fate and Beyonder Characteristic and became 'Goddess of Harvest'.
"After that, he was promoted to Sequence 0 as 'Earth Mother' Pathway, continued to hide from all God and King of Angel with the help of Evernight Goddess, joined 'Rose Redemption'... and became one of the righteous gods at Fourth Epoch, until now.
"His purpose was to take revenge on Giant King first. After his death, he then joined forces with Evernight Goddess at a critical moment to severely damage 'God of Combat'?"
In fact, there are still some problems. For example, Omebella actually died in the assassination of City of Silver. The reason why "Earth Mother" Lilith betrayed God of Combat may not be hatred... These thoughts flashed through Klein's mind, but he did not refute, but nodded and said:
"Absolutely."
At the same time, "Star" Leonard also remembered something and said hesitantly:
"After the war is over, Church of Evernight will no longer promote the title 'Lady of Crimson', and is also preparing to reduce the number of times the symbol 'Crimson Moon' appears in masses and sacrifices."
As a newly promoted senior deacon, he can read the corresponding documents.
"This means that Evernight Goddess has lost the corresponding authority... No, he returned the authority to Lilith, who was the ancient god Moon' Pathway, in exchange for the help of this 'Earth Mother'!"
"Hermit", who has the richest knowledge of occult science and knows a lot of taboo knowledge because he often listens to "Hidden Sage"'s knowledge infusion, quickly came to conclusions.
It was really a terrifying conspiracy that lasted for thousands of years. The mother of "God of Combat" had died in Forsaken Land of the Gods, but he never knew it. He thought that the ancestor of Sanguine, who was full of hatred for him, was his mother, and led him to attack the kingdom of God of his savior. The result was the opposite. Being besieged by Two Gods, this divine battle was not unjustly lost...Tarot Club Everyone mourned for God who "lost his mother carelessly", and immediately looked at "Moon" Emlyn.
This Sanguine once complained that he had accidentally become a believer of Earth Mother, and wanted to seek help on Tarot Club to get rid of the involuntary urge to go to church to pray and help. The idea of cleaning, unfortunately failed to come true, and even because Church of the Earth Mother was on duty in Backlund, he was arrested and sent to Chanis Gate together with Father Utravsky.
After going round and round, he finally returned to the ancestor of Sanguine, which can be said to be a firm belief.
Being stared at by everyone, "Moon" Emlyn not only did not feel ashamed, but instead proudly puffed up his chest.
He no longer feels ashamed for going to Harvest Church all day long to pray, worship and clean. Instead, he believes that this is a test for himself by the ancestor Lilith and the only way he must pass as the savior of Sanguine.
Other Sanguine have never had the chance to experience this kind of experience... He muttered, suddenly realizing that since the authority of "Crimson Moon" belongs to Earth Mother, perhaps the prayers of Sanguine members will be answered soon, and the first Divine Revelation of Lilith must be:
Join Church of the Earth Mother!
And he, who had already done so, was responsible for guiding these tribesmen, which even included many Sanguine who had previously laughed at his belief in Earth Mother.
Thinking of this, his chest straightened up even more.
Looking at Emlyn with his head held high like a proud rooster, Angel chuckled secretly, looked around and said:
"There is another matter, which is also closely related to this divine war..."
After everyone's attention was attracted, she continued:
"After the God War ended, I went to the battlefield on the outskirts of Backlund where Loen and Three-Nation Allied Forces faced off. There was a camp there that was damaged by meteorites, which contained the divine power belonging to the 'warrior', that is, 'Twilight Giant' Pathway.
"Given that God of War Church did not die in Angel before Backlund, and the same meteorite struck almost every piece of land in the North Continent, creating many abnormal areas lingering with the power of aging, as well as high-level mutant creatures, I think 'God of Combat' probably fell after this divine war."
Her view is somewhat speculative, but it is supported by a large amount of evidence. After finding out the true identity of "Earth Mother", she still believes that "God of Combat" can escape the siege of Two Gods. That is simply disrespectful to "Evernight Goddess" who has been planning a millennium conspiracy.
As for the other Tarot Club members, except for Leonard who had gotten the exact conclusion from Pallez, they were all a little stunned and frightened.
A real God died like this?
No wonder "Silver Knight" ran away in panic that day. As Saint, who is Sequence 3, he should be aware of the he believes in God has a problem, and the collapse of these high-end forces will lead to the collapse of the entire army... Audrey thought about it, no longer doubting Angel's speculation, and asked instead:
"What about God of War Church? What will happen to them next?"
That is a church that dominates an empire and has a large number of believers. Whether it is forced conversion or brutal suppression, it may cause variables in the war where the situation is already clear.
She looked at "Empress" Miss beside her, and what came to her ears was the somewhat deep and hoarse voice of "The World":
"Church of Evernight should adopt a tolerant policy, accept most Beyonder who are willing to surrender, and only eliminate the die-hards with devout beliefs, while retaining the 'God of Combat' faith for the ordinary people of the Feysac Empire."
"But doesn't that mean nothing has changed? "Fors straightened up and asked doubtfully.
"Because nothing should be changed," Klein smiled and looked at Fors, causing the latter's neck to shrink subconsciously, "After Evernight Goddess gets the powers of 'God of Combat', it will take some time to master them, and Evernight, Church of Storms, and Loen Kingdom all suffered heavy losses in this war, and it is difficult to cope with the increasing number of extraordinary events that Apocalypse will soon have. The original system of God of War Church can be a good supplement."
Apocalypse... Not only Fors, but also Emlyn, Alger and others frowned.
This word is not unfamiliar to them, or they have seen the prophecy about Apocalypse from various channels. However, whether it is in publicly published books or internal church books, the prophecies mentioned are vague. Not to mention the specific time, even the form of presentation is so strange that almost no one wants to believe it.
Only "Hermit" was promoted to "Mysticologist" using the blood of Snake of Fate, and Sequence 3 is "Clairvoyant". He has dreamed of many scenes when Apocalypse is coming, and there have been some speculations about this.
And Audrey, because he had previously cooperated with "The World" to rescue a Church of Knowledge Demigod who was on the verge of losing control, learned the information about "Apocalypse in 1368" from him, and asked thoughtfully:
"Is it the Apocalypse that will be more than ten years later?"
"Yes, by that time, everyone may be destroyed, including God."
Klein nodded firmly to prevent the members who looked half confused and half surprised from taking his words as a joke.
"But why did Apocalypse arrive suddenly? There is no sign at all..."
"Judgment" Xio asked hesitantly.
She had only grown up not long ago, and the same was true for her friend Fors. Even after experiencing the war, her expectations for a better future life had not changed. She never thought that this kind of life could only last for more than ten years and would end abruptly when she was in her prime.
"Why are there no signs?" The tone of "World" was as cold as ever, "Why do the gods want to start a divine war? Why do the hidden King of Angels appear one after another? Why is the King of Loen eager to become a god?"
Seeing that everyone was shocked by his rhetorical question and lost in thought, Klein added with satisfaction:
"You can't know the specific reasons for the time being. It's just knowledge that will bring pollution. Unless you become Angel, you can resist it."
Information that can only be known by becoming Angel... Hey, I always feel like I have forgotten something... Audrey was confused at first, and then surprised, because there is a fact contained in Mr. World's words:
Knowing these things, he has become Angel.
Other members also reacted one after another. Their eyes first focused on "The World" at the end of the long table, and then turned to Angel, wanting to see the reaction of Tarot Club, the first member to become Angel.
"He's right."
Angel nodded slightly and replied softly.
This is equivalent to admitting... Alger felt like his heart was twitching. He passed the test of Church of Storms at the end of the war, received ceremonial help, and officially became "Cataclysmic Interrer". After "Sea King" Yarn Courtman and other high-level officials from the Rhoside Islands returned to support Backlund, he became the parish's Cardinal Bishop. Before he could find a chance to announce it on Tarot Club, he discovered that the "world" that was Sequence 5 like him had become Angel.
Forget about "Empress" who was promoted at a terrifying speed, how could he... Alger's eyes returned to Klein again, which contained complex emotions.
And so do the other members.
Hehe, there are times when you are stared at by everyone, so it's not in vain that I deliberately brought the topic to you... Angel felt a breath of bad breath and snorted softly in his heart.
But then she discovered that Klein faced many gazes calmly, motionless as if he were a Marionette, which was completely different from her reaction of subconsciously avoiding others' gazes.
No, he was originally Marionette. Of course he was not afraid of being stared at. The real Klein was sitting in the seat of "Fool"... She glanced at "Fool" and realized that as long as he was in this place Above Gray Fog, she simply cannot fight with "Fool" Klein. Unless she directly slams the table and shouts "Fool is the world" to make him die socially, otherwise everything will be in vain.
Humph, just save him some face outside... Angel muttered, feeling even more angry.
Being stared at by her, Klein, who was hiding behind Gray Fog, finally couldn't sit still. He moved his body quietly, tapped the table with his knuckles a few times, attracting everyone's attention, and then said:
"After the Forsaken Land of the Gods incident, my condition has recovered a lot. You can exchange some high-level things from me. This will also help you cope with the arrival of the 'Apocalypse'."
The matter of Forsaken Land of the Gods... As expected, "The World" and "Empress" went to that continent this time because of his mission... And even Mr. "Fool" admitted the existence of Apocalypse... The members present were first happy because of the recovery of God, and then they were immersed in the threat of Apocalypse.
"Dear Mr. 'Fool', what can we exchange for from you?"
Angel suppressed a smile and took over the conversation at the right time, so that no one would dare to ask questions and cause an awkward situation.
Gee, I always feel like she is acting strangely... Klein added with a sullen face but a smile in her tone:
"The formula of High Sequence, the scarce Beyonder Characteristic, and... the identity, character and strength of 'Sea God', the Beyonder Characteristic of 'Profane Presbyter'."
Sea God... the Kalvetua whose personality and faith returned to Mr. Fool after his death?
"Hanged Man" His head buzzed and he almost stood up from the high-backed chair.
This is simply my exclusive "reward"! Others are either not on this Pathway, or have the identity of "Sea God" and find it difficult to control the Rhoad Islands, but I am different. I am Cardinal Bishop of the Rhoad Islands on the surface. If I become "Sea God" secretly, then I will be the real Sea King... Alger had his own voice roaring in his heart, but in the next second he realized that it was not "Storm" Pathway that could get these, but also the adjacent "Spectator" and "Sun" Pathway.
He subconsciously glanced at "Sun" next to him and "Justice" opposite him, and asked cautiously:
"Dear Mr. Fool, may I ask what I need to do in exchange for these things?"
"The tasks I issued, my frequent prayers and devout wishes."
Klein, who had been waiting for someone to ask a question, answered.
It doesn't sound difficult, it's almost the same as before... Alger felt a little more at ease, and became more and more convinced that this was an opportunity just for him - in Church of Storms, it was already extremely difficult for a Beyonder with elf blood like him to become Demigod, and it was almost impossible to go further.
Seeing his expression of excitement and silence, "Justice" Audrey also asked in confusion:
"Which Pathway does 'Profane Presbyter' belong to?"
She instinctively thought that the name Potion belonged to "Devil" Pathway, but she was not sure.
"'Hanged Man' Pathway, or Sequence 2 as 'Secrets Suppliant'."
It's Pathway controlled by the evil god "True Creator"... but why does Mr. Fool call it "Hanged Man"? Audrey glanced at Tarot Club's "Hanged Man" and felt a little curious about the vigilant gaze cast by the founding member. He immediately remembered that his "Spectator" was adjacent to the opponent's "Storm" Pathway, and might compete with him for the power of "Sea God".
She imitated the movements of "Empress" beside her and tilted her head, trying to dispel Alger's doubts, but then she remembered that "Spectator" was not only adjacent to "Storm", but also adjacent to "Hanged Man" Pathway.
This means that if she cannot find the Sequence 2 formula and materials for her Pathway after being promoted to Sequence 3, she can jump to Adjacent Pathways and become "Profane Presbyter"!
Thinking of this, with her Spectator Demigod self-control ability, she couldn't help but get a little excited.
After witnessing the chaos of Backlund during the war, his own inability to control the situation, and the anxiety of just hearing about the coming of "Apocalypse", Audrey is no longer satisfied with his own strength.
But now, there is actually a Beyonder Characteristic of Angel in front of him. As long as he completes the tasks of Mr. Fool step by step, he will have a chance to get it!
Even members who were not adjacent to "Hanged Man" Pathway began to have their minds wandering, wondering what other high-level things Mr. Fool had in hand and whether they had a chance to get them.
Seeing everyone's eyes turning fiery, Klein, who had achieved the goal of mobilizing their enthusiasm, smiled with satisfaction.
In the following ten minutes of communication, all the members were not as silent as before, but exchanged information with each other in high spirits, making Tarot Club, which had not traded with each other for a while, become lively again.
If this continues, Tarot Club will soon become a mutual aid organization where you are part of me and you are part of me, with a closer structure instead of the previous "trade fair" format... Angel watched their exchanges and sighed with a sense of ownership.
Until streaks of crimson light flashed through, the palace in Gray Fog became deserted again.
Only "Fool" and "Empress" are left.
PS: 2-in-1, it should be gone at night...
