He, no, He is King of Angel of "Seer" Pathway, Antigonus of "Half Fool"?
How did He find himself here? Do you know that it was me and Klein who stole His "Mystic Seer" Beyonder Characteristic? We obviously didn't use our true colors, but we did Anti-Divination afterwards... Angel Thoughts were racing in his mind, and he held his right hand empty, and a flagpole that turned iron black like blood was looming, making people feel shuddering, and the feeling of wanting to kneel down instantly filled the whole church.
Angel doesn't know how Antigonus escaped Evernight Goddess's "secret", nor does he know if he can use Sequence 2 Her personality can reaccommodate or utilize that "Uniqueness", but this does not prevent her from witnessing the next stick hitting the opponent's dog's head, no, wolf's head, under the Goddess holy emblem hanging high.
Sensing a hint of unfriendliness, Antigonus, who was wearing a thin black trench coat that is common among Nighthawkss, had a young face but half-white hair, and was both youthful and old-fashioned. He showed a warm smile and said in Loenese with a slight accent:
"I'm from Holy Cathedral. Arianna asked me to come to you directly to help you with your Southern Continent mission. You can call me..."
"Antigonus."
Angel took over the conversation, his brows still furrowed, unsure whether what the other party said was true or false.
She is very aware of the acting ability of "Seer". Not only is she always wary of her own Spirit Body Threads being triggered, she is also worried whether the other party will join forces with Amon to launch an attack. After all, judging from the composition of "Great Old One", Amon As Adjacent Pathways of Seer, he only needs one copy of Sequence 1 Characteristic and Uniqueness of Seer. He can completely promise Antigonus to let him continue to do King of Angel in exchange for the other party's cooperation!
Seeing that she was still vigilant, Antigonus made a fist with his right hand and put it on his left chest, bent down and saluted, and continued:
"I come with good intentions and you can confirm this by praying to Goddess."
This is Fourth Epoch's early way of saluting. He should be Antigonus himself, but with good intentions? Angel glanced at Captain Nighthawks, who was still standing by, and found that his eyes were not focused at all and his expression was a bit dull. He had obviously been deceived by the illusion and had no idea that there were two "distinguished guests" in front of him.
She would not just pray stupidly. It would be too easy for the other party to catch the flaw. But facing a "Miracle Invoker", as long as she relaxed for a few seconds, Spirit Body Threads would belong to the other party. In actual combat, Klein used this method to turn defeat into victory!
Thinking of this, she nodded and said:
"I will confirm later, what is your real purpose?"
"You don't trust me, and I don't trust you too much. At the end of my thousand-year-long deep dream, the scene where you and another 'Miracle Invoker' took away my Beyonder Characteristic impressed me deeply." Antigonus straightened up, He straightened the collar of his windbreaker and continued, "You did disguise yourself at the time, but for a Seer who once mastered 'Uniqueness', it is not difficult to recognize you using the 'characteristics' of Spirit Body Threads."
It turns out that Klein can change his Spirit Body Threads, but I can't... Angel suddenly realized it, and was puzzled by Antigonus's indifference after recognizing his enemy.
Under her gaze, Antigonus continued calmly:
"This time I did get Divine Revelation to help you and those 'Nighthawks' eliminate the followers of those evil gods. I have an agreement with...Evernight Goddess, using my allegiance in exchange for a condition. You don't need to worry about me having other purposes."
When he mentioned Evernight Goddess, his expression changed slightly, which was keenly captured by Angel.
It seems that He did not do so voluntarily, but because of that "condition"...Goddess promised to give Him freedom? But at this time, He has already left Hornacis Mountain Range, and he can completely imitate Zarathus and hide in the dark. Without Goddess, almost no one can catch Him... Could it be "Mother of the Sky"?
Angel suddenly thought that Divine Descent Vessel, which Goddess used many times, was the sister of the descendant of the demon wolf in front of him. He guessed that Goddess might use her as a condition in exchange for Antigonus's loyalty for a certain period of time.
After all, the war has just ended, God of War Church is waiting to be incorporated, and now that cult organizations are appearing frequently in various places, the combat effectiveness of each Angel is precious.
After thinking about all this, Angel also lowered his guard a little, stuffed "0-01" back into Mirror World, sent away Nighthawks who was blinded by the illusion and stood there, and then continued to ask in the deserted church:
"How much do you know about the situation of 'Rose School'?"
She didn't ask what kind of help the other party could provide. She knew very well what "Miracle Invoker" was capable of.
Antigonus looked around, found a bench and sat down, unbuttoned the top button of his windbreaker without any image, and said:
"Until I fell into madness, Southern Continent was under the rule of 'Death' Salinger and his Death Church. Only the occupied Star Highland and Paz Valley had sporadic other faiths, among which was the 'Rose School' you mentioned.
"But they didn't call it that name at that time. They just formed some kind of primitive belief because of the worship and restraint of desire. Of course, it can be traced back to the fallen ancient god 'Alien King' Kwashtun... And after the death of the God of Death and the interruption of transportation in the northern and southern continents, resistance to the Church of the Death was launched in various parts of the southern continent, and the Rose School, which believed in the 'Bound God', also officially entered the stage of history.
"They were divided into two groups at first, the 'Indulgence Faction' who advocated desire and embraced madness, and the 'Temperance Faction' who advocated a simple life and fought against desire, but after Chained God gave birth to 'God's Son' After Suah, the former had the upper hand, until in recent years 'Temperance Faction' completely lost ground and was driven out of the Southern Continent. Suah also became 'Abomination'. I think you know what this means."
There are some things about Fifth Epoch, and Antigonus was already asleep at that time. Perhaps he used the internal books of the church to connect with the history he knew well... "Abomination" is Sequence 1 of "Chained" Pathway. I have known this for a long time... Angel thought about it, nodded and said:
"I have been in contact with Suah several times. He should not be my opponent now, but if 'Chained God' is the same as King of Angel from Pathway..."
"Tolzna can no longer move freely. He was corroded by 'Mother Tree of Desire', which made 'Rose School' what it is now."
Antigonus shook his head and said, as if he was feeling sorry for the former.
Tolzna? "God of Spiritual Objects" Tolzna? Isn't He a member of "Rose Redemption"? Unexpectedly, he became "Chained God" and was poisoned by Outer Deity... The appearance of "God's Son" Suah led to Rose School Judging from the internal transformation, there is a high probability that this King of Angel has not completely succumbed to "Mother Tree of Desire"... Angel once again felt like history had entered his life, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
This is undoubtedly good news for her. Regardless of whether Tolzna now has two copies of "Abomination" characteristics or King of Angel with Uniqueness added, in her own unsafe situation Under such circumstances, it should be impossible to participate in the battle. Orthodox Church will face only one or two Angel, one Archangel, and possibly some "0" level Sealed Artifact.
And to deal with "Indulgence Faction", Angel can also find an extra helper.
Thinking of this, she looked at Antigonus and said:
"Before Nighthawks and other Orthodox Church troops come to the Southern Continent, I plan to contact some old friends to see if I can collect more information and even get more Allies help, I need... I hope you can find the stronghold of 'Rose School' in Ancient Forest during this period, and it is best to find the elusive Saint."
"Don't be so polite. I said I'm here to assist you."
Antigonus replied, stood up from the bench, straightened his windbreaker, and seemed to be leaving.
Upon seeing this, Angel quickly added:
"Be careful Outer Deity when doing divination... You should know the existence of 'Great Old One', right?"
She was worried that Seer, who was not protected by "Sefirah Castle", would accidentally kill herself.
"I know more than you do. After we finish solving 'Rose School', maybe we can communicate."
The "Miracle Invoker" who had just fallen down the ranks chuckled lightly and disappeared in the sudden burst of flames.
After leaving the church and returning to his temporary residence, Angel set up a simple altar, recited the summoning spell, and let Reinette Tinekerr, who was wearing a complicated palace dress and holding two heads in each hand, floated out from Spirit World and landed in front of him.
"Ma'am, are you interested in revenge on 'Indulgence Faction' who once hunted you? I think I can provide some help."
Angel packaged his intention to recruit allies to deal with "Rose School" as helping "Temperance Faction" to fight against "Indulgence Faction".
According to Klein, the messenger with his head most of the time on his hands is the teacher of Sharron Miss, and also the former leader of "Temperance Faction", Princess of the Highlands Kingdom, and "Ancient Bane" of Sequence 2.
Of course, He no longer has the strength of Angel. During the civil war that broke out between "Indulgence Faction" and "Temperance Faction" a few years ago, this Angel was besieged by Suah and other Rose School senior officials and fell in order to protect his students from escaping from the Southern Continent.
Although he had a backup plan for resurrection and successfully resurrected in Spirit World in his current state and with a strength roughly equal to Sequence 3, the characteristics of Sequence 2 remained in his body and were divided into multiple parts and hidden away, so he never had the chance to truly return to his original state.
Now, Orthodox Church's campaign to suppress "Rose School" is a great opportunity for him and Temperance Faction. Not only can they take revenge on the members of Indulgence Faction, but they can also have the opportunity to get their bodies back and truly be resurrected in Physical World instead of existing as Spirit Body.
Being able to find a helper who can restore Angel's personality and strength through "Yesterday Once More" when necessary, and also repay the favors owed to him before, is simply the best of both worlds... Thinking of this, the corners of Angel's mouth slightly raised, and a smile appeared on his face that Reinette's eight eyes could not take away.
No, you have to hold back, you can't laugh, otherwise Reinette will think I'm deceiving Him... When will I learn Klein's ability to control facial expressions... Pressing down the corners of his mouth, Angel looked at Messenger Miss floating above, waiting for the other party's response.
In her expectant eyes, Reinette's four heads shook back and forth and nodded.
