Old Man, Sequence 1?

Leonard is a little confused. It's not that he doesn't know what Sequence 1 means, but he subconsciously thinks that the "Parasite" hidden in his body has not reached this level. After all, he always helps himself with words instead of power. He hides when he sees trouble. He was even frightened by Amon's Avatar and became taciturn. He didn't recover until he left Backlund...

I originally thought that he was Angel or Sequence 2 at most, or that he was extremely weak and could only hide Angel in my Mid Sequence body...

But recalling the power that the other party occasionally showed, especially the magical effect of Charm's recent "Luck Stealer" produced with "Worm of Time", and his vision to recognize the identity of Angel, the headless messenger, Leonard felt that Klein's words had some credibility.

"So, what does this have to do with Amon's Avatar?"

He frowned and asked, and then he answered with enlightenment:

"Because of this, Amon's Avatar will be looking for him everywhere, looking for me who is parasitized by him, and want to absorb this important Beyonder Characteristic to split into more Amon. And due to the influence of aggregation, we may meet for various reasons?"

That "Marauder" Angel told him everything about Aggregation Law. It seems that he is essentially different from the mouse Demigod who became Hazel's teacher but concealed a lot of important information... Angel thought about it, nodded slightly and said:

"That's half right. Amon does want to obtain the Beyonder Characteristic of Pallez, but it is not used as raw material for other clones, but has a greater purpose... With the help of this Sequence 1's Beyonder Characteristic, he may be able to ascend to the throne of God and become 'Marauder' Pathway's True God."

This is actually not difficult to guess.

"Angel of Time" Amon is one of the eight "King of Angel" next to Ancient Sun God. It has strength beyond Sequence 1. It is likely that it itself has more than one copy of Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic, has even mastered the "Uniqueness" of this Potion Pathway. However, thousands of years later, the other party still has not gathered all the prerequisites to become True God. It is probably because a certain Sequence 1 Characteristic has been living outside.

Before this, Angel and Klein, based on the information they obtained, concluded that the primary purpose of Amon's Avatar coming to Backlund was to find followers of Mr. "Fool", and the second was to collect Beyonder Characteristic who were the same as Pathway to strengthen themselves.

But these speculations became less reasonable after Arianna came to Backlund in person. After all, Amon's Avatar is not very strong, and he obviously has a way of avoiding conflicts with the Orthodox sect. Even if Goddess receives Angel's prayer, there is no need to send a Grounded Angel within half an hour to help her clean up the Amon clones in the entire Backlund.

Unless... He is also worried that Amon will achieve the purpose of this trip, and that "Blasphemer" will gain new power as a result!

The only thing that can make a "King of Angel" go further is to become Sequence 0, the real God?

All of this can be linked to Leonard, which was parasitized by "Marauder" Angel, hidden inside Goddess Church, and received special care.

That's why the abnormality in Leonard was ignored by the church, so Arianna rushed to Backlund, hiding behind the scenes to provide help at any time, so Angel of the church took the initiative to eliminate all Amon clones...

The answer is ready to come out. The main body of these Amon clones, "Angel of Time" Amon, has probably obtained the "Uniqueness" of this Pathway, and has mastered an additional copy. Sequence 1's Beyonder Characteristic, just like his brother, "Angel of Imagination" Adam, will be qualified to be promoted to Sequence 0 after gathering all the conditions.

And Goddess seems to be unwilling for this to happen.

"Star" Leonard, who had just joined the Tarot Club and attended only one meeting, naturally did not understand this. He listened to the information about Adam and Sequence 0 at the last Tarot Club, and learned about the "King of Angels" and "Uniqueness" and other secret knowledge from the old man who woke up. There is another sequence above it, and the concept of being equivalent to a true god is not unfamiliar, but unlike Angel and Klein, they have not seen the potion formula on the "Card of Blasphemy" and have not clarified the relationship between Sequence 1 and Sequence 0 in their minds. After hearing Angel's explanation, he subconsciously asked:

"Sequence 1's Beyonder Characteristic, doesn't it only allow people to be promoted from Sequence 2 to Sequence 1?"

This is the conclusion he deduced from the pattern of Low Sequence Potion.

"That's it if there is only one copy, but if a Beyonder of Sequence 1 collects the remaining two copies of Beyonder Characteristic of Sequence 1 and obtains 'Uniqueness', they will become Potion promoted to Sequence 0."

It turns out that Sequence 0 is the aggregation of all Sequence 1 Characteristic of this Pathway... No wonder Old Man says "King of Angel" is the name of Beyonder, which is higher than Sequence 1 but has not become a god, because each Pathway has only three copies of Sequence 1's Beyonder Characteristic, and if it takes up 2 or more, it has a crushing advantage over all Beyonder of the same Pathway...

Leonard instantly remembered all the knowledge that Pallez had mentioned when he taught himself in his mind. Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he felt that his head had never turned so fast before.

"If that's the case, then I... I mean, Pales Zoroaster," he said after considering it, as if he was not used to calling "Old Man" directly by his name, "Can I go to other cities to avoid it, just like when I left Backlund last time?, go to the Southern Continent? I think that as long as they don't meet Amon's Avatar in person, it would be difficult for them to locate me, otherwise Old Man would not be able to escape so many times."

Isn't this just an escape? Although it is shameful, it is indeed useful... Angel muttered and was about to say something, but Klein interjected in a low and hoarse tone:

"It might have been possible before, but this time, due to certain circumstances, Amon and his clones may act more unscrupulously than in the past. Even if you hide in Backlund or hide in other cities, you may be discovered by them... Moreover, I suspect that Amon already know that there is a 'Marauder' Angel around North Borough's Böklund Street, and they will wait patiently until you return here."

Böklund Street, which is not far from Pinster Street where I live, is not too far from Saint Samuel Cathedral!

Leonard was startled and looked up at the "world" Klein. Seeing that his figure hidden behind Gray Fog made no movement, he began to think deeply again.

After a moment, he spoke:

"Then what should we do?"

"It depends on what Pales Zoroaster means. Does he have a way to gather all Amon clones of Backlund? Can he destroy all the clones at once?"

Angel asked softly, causing Leonard to turn his attention to Demoness who had personally solved a Amon clone tonight.

"Old Man said that unless there is 'secret' protection, there is no way to prevent Amon's body from knowing everything. This means that everyone who takes action or provides help will be exposed to the eyes of this King of Angel."

He tried to understand Pallez's warning and warned his two former colleagues.

"It doesn't matter, God already has Divine Revelation, we will get 'secret' help."

Hearing that the other party's request was so simple and happened to match the help Arianna said, Angel breathed a sigh of relief and answered immediately.

Divine Revelation...Leonard nodded thoughtfully, his eyes quickly swept over the seat on the long table belonging to Mr. "Fool", and his tone became more relaxed:

"If that's the case, Old Man should be able to help, but I have to go back and ask, well, I'll tell you the answer when Tarot Club..."

Did he misunderstand what I meant? I was referring to Arianna's help, while she represented Goddess... Apparently he regarded God who provided help as "Fool" Mr. Leonard and Angel opened their mouths, but still did not dare to say to the Fool's Kingdom that they were the favored ones of Goddess.

Then, Leonard told Angel and Klein everything he learned about Amon from Pallez, including that Amon liked to use his clones to die., to peek into the changes in fate and find the source of the disturbance. They also like to hide more clones in the dark around this flamboyant clone. They can even use the high-level "Stealing" to steal the target's fate, replace the target, hide themselves in a way that no one can see the abnormality, and play with the opponent.

Amon who was hiding around and watching... When I was fighting Amon who provoked me for no reason and stole my mirror substitute on the banks of the Tasok River, there wouldn't have been a lot of people around me... Angel thought with some fear.

Fortunately, after knowing that I went directly to Saint Samuel Cathedral to report, these Amon should be restrained in the short term. After all, they do not know the situation of Goddess, and they must also guard against steam and Church of Storms takes action against them... The best situation is that they have quietly left Backlund after taking away "Marauder" Demigod Beyonder Characteristic. This is good for both parties...

She calmed down her inner emotional changes and suddenly realized that although she had defeated a Amon's Avatar, her fear of them had only deepened, so she deliberately thought in a direction that could avoid the battle.

"There are eight bottles in total, all with enhanced effects. As agreed last time, the price is 120 pounds."

Emlyn, who had a beard taped on his face and wore tinted spectacles and a peaked cap as a disguise, who looked more like a tourist from Intis than a vampire, handed over an exquisite wooden box, took the few banknotes given by the other party, counted them quickly, and stuffed them into his pocket.

"I will inform you again if necessary."

The man in front of him, who had Balam blood, a darker complexion, and slightly sunken eyes, whispered, put away the wooden box, and left sneakily.

It was easy and simple, and I earned another 120 pounds. Although it is not as eye-catching as the large-scale transactions on Tarot Club, it is better than the stable income. Hehe, after using our Sanguine medicine, which man would still like the fake products sold in pharmacies with the addition of Feynapotter Fly and Mummy Powder...

Emlyn thought with some pride, tore off the beard around his mouth, took off his glasses, avoided the scorching sun at noon in July, got into a hired carriage and left North Borough's Böklund Street.

On the outer wall of a manor behind him, a crow that looked a bit eye-catching during the day landed. It stood on the wall, glanced at the leaving carriage, shook its head, as if laughing at the two people who were buying and selling physical potions, and then turned its attention to this street where many Lawyer, doctors, and Rich Merchant lived.

Its right eye has a faint white ring, like a monocle.
