"Blasphemer" Amon, the legendary "King of Angel" that has existed for several epochs!
Everyone held their breath after hearing Mr. World's words.
Having seen Amon's clone "Sun" and "Derrick" with his own eyes, he had the illusion that the figure wearing a pointed soft hat and a monocle in his right eye was hidden in the surrounding fog. He couldn't help but look back. The large movements made "Hanged Man" and "Moon" on the side feel a little uncomfortable.
After a while, the hesitant words of "Justice" Audrey sounded:
"He, I mean His clone, what is the purpose of coming to this city?"
In her surprise, she even forgot to use words to cover up the fact that she was also in Backlund, although most of the members already knew it.
The same question also lingers in the minds of others, including Alger, Cattleya who are far away overseas, and even Derrick in Forsaken Land of the Gods, all of whom have set their sights on the "world" with astonishing words.
"It's the 'clones'. Amon's ability allows him to create countless clones that are at least Sequence 4 and may even be as high as Sequence 2. Once these clones are obtained, Additional Beyonder Characteristic, Beyonder Characteristic of 'Marauder' can continue to divide and parasitize humans or various animals, so the number may be far beyond your imagination."
"This is really like a plague, a plague called 'Amon'."
"Magician" Fors murmured. Half of his heart was filled with the joy of hearing bizarre events that could be used as writing material, and the other half was the fear of Subordinate Deity from the perspective of occultism.
"As for their purpose of coming to Backlund," Klein continued after Fors sighed, "The main purpose is to look for 'Marauder' Pathway's Beyonder and Mystical Item in order to absorb their Beyonder Characteristic. Secondly, it may be related to the current situation in the world. After all, He is that brother."
He had no intention of telling others about Amon's attempt to find the believers of "Fool". The other party said they were looking for believers, but in fact they were mainly looking for "Fool" who had eliminated the clone of Forsaken Land of the Gods Amon. " himself, in addition, let the Tarot Club members who should not know about this know the traces of Amon, which may lead to a change in fate, and be discovered by this "King of Angel" who can see the fate.
The less we know, the safer it is, except for those of us who have fallen into it a long time ago... Glancing at "Empress" Angel who was thoughtful and "Star" Leonard who was shaking his head and constantly observing other members, Klein said in his heart.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the other members were obviously relieved and their bodies relaxed.
It turns out that the targets are those Mystical Item and Beyonder who are the same as Pathway, not us... Audrey stuck out his tongue in his heart, and then asked in confusion:
"Do we need to do anything? Well, I mean what issues should we pay attention to, such as whether the people they parasitize will behave differently?"
As she said that, she looked at "Hanged Man". After all, generally speaking, similar questions were answered by this kind gentleman.
But it was "Empress" Angel beside her who spoke.
"If you meet Amon's Avatar on the street, the only safe way to prevent him is not to recognize him, otherwise your surprise and fear are likely to attract his attention." Angel glanced at Audrey, A warning was given, "Of course, if a relative, friend or servant at home behaves strangely, such as a change in personality or a monocle in the eye socket, you can try to pray to Orthodox Church for help. This behavior is reasonable and effective."
"They also have the ability to determine the identity and destiny of a Stealing person. Then you will find that your family regards him as a close relative, and your acquaintances regard him as a close friend. Everything about you, including your residence, including your savings, including your interpersonal relationships, belongs to him. You become a 'Unlucky One', losing all connection with reality, and dying in loneliness little by little."
She added some information she heard from Leonard.
There are no servants in my family, and I only have one friend. Well, she is sitting next to me now. We can supervise each other and avoid being parasitized by Amon... Is this really useful? Will they be parasitized together and become a pair of Amon leaning on each other? Or maybe I greeted Xio when she came back in the evening, but she actually became Amon and happily accepted my greetings?
"Magician" Fors muttered, feeling for the first time that the horror stories in the book had come into reality.
Others also had their own reactions, including Audrey who tried his best to hide his movements with the ability of "Spectator". The scene in which he was replaced by Amon and the closest person became a stranger came to mind involuntarily.
If I come home and find that my parents and brother are having dinner with another me, and the guard at the door doesn't know me, my maid doesn't know me, and even Susie rubs that Audrey's legs affectionately, ignoring my existence... Audrey's rich imagination at this time and Beyonder Ability's ability to realize all the fantasies in her mind make her extremely afraid.
"Dong dong——"
A brisk knocking sound awakened everyone, causing them to move their eyes to the top of the long table and look at Mr. "Fool".
"If anything goes wrong, you can pray to me."
His deep voice was like the sound of nature, which made everyone who was frightened by Angel's narration breathe a sigh of relief. The new member "Judgment" Xio Derecha stood up and saluted, and said respectfully:
"Thank you for your generosity and kindness."
She became a member of Tarot Club after she was saved by Mr. "Fool" when she was about to die!
I actually want to say that you'd better not pray to me, otherwise the identity of the believer of "Fool" may be exposed, and you will become the target of Amon instead. However, it is better to remain silent and be parasitized, and not be discovered until the next party, or even with the help of When Gray Fog pulled Spirit Body here, he was invaded by "Blasphemer". Exposing the identity of Fool's believer was nothing... Klein muttered, nodded slightly, and accepted Xio's thanks.
After everyone's excitement calmed down, "Sun" Derrick revealed that he was about to finish digesting "Notary" Potion and started working on his promotion to "Priest of Light". He also hoped that everyone could provide suggestions for his Promotion Ritual.
——After hearing that the Amon clone appeared again, the City of Silver resident who had been parasitized and almost died at the hands of the opponent was extremely eager to be promoted.
It is necessary to bury the body in ice that normally does not melt in pure darkness... This is simply suicide in an environment like Forsaken Land of the Gods where monsters will appear in the darkness and even be swallowed directly... Well, the ceremony to be promoted to "Affliction" is not suicide... Angel muttered, suddenly remembering his own experience of accidentally entering Forsaken Land of the Gods, and said after thinking:
"Perhaps you can change your thinking. There are monsters hidden in the darkness of Forsaken Land of the Gods where 'City of Silver' is located, and there is a danger of people disappearing. But you can avoid such dangers through other methods, such as asking for help from the chief who already knows the existence of Mr. Fool, or praying to God."
Her God here naturally refers to Mr. "Fool", after all, this is His kingdom.
But Angel knows in his heart that God, who is more suitable for Mr. "Sun", is Evernight Goddess.
The darkness of Forsaken Land of the Gods is obviously related to the divine power of Goddess. I can use "Hidden Holy Emblem" to avoid danger, and the same danger appears in Trier's Underground Catacombs. This is because Fourth Epoch's war left behind various dangers, which are also related to Orthodox Church... Angel sighed, sighing because "Sun" could not believe in Evernight Goddess and could not obtain His gift.
After everyone discussed it for a while, they came to a conclusion similar to that of Angel. It would be a good idea to seek help from the chief of "City of Silver".
"To show your value, you don't have to give all the time. Appropriate requests can also deepen the relationship between the two. Your chief must understand this truth, so feel free to ask him."
The spiritual mentor "Hanged Man" made an important summary, which made Derrick full of confidence again.
Appropriate giving and taking, Old Man seems to have taught me this, saying it is the way to survive in the Zhengshen sect. Hey, this "Hanged Man" should be Church of Storms He is an insider, maybe a middle-level member of "Mandated Punishers", similar to me... Leonard muttered a few words and silently changed his position within Tarot Club.
After participating in the plan of "Magician" and "Moon" to punish a Sanguine member, and confirming that Mr. "Moon" was the Emlyn White whom he had met several times and purchased "Tinder" gloves on his own, he spoke in a searching tone:
"Recently, there have been several serial murders involving Extraordinaries in the East District of Backlund. Official Extraordinaries suspect that they were committed by members of the 'Witch Sect'. Do you have any clues?"
He focused on looking at "Justice", "Magician" and others who were in Backlund, as well as "Hanged Man" who was the official Beyonder like himself, and found that none of them had any reaction, which was a bit disappointing.
"'Demoness Sect', are you sure?"
The one who was most interested was Angel, she asked tentatively, recalling the member "Demoness Sect" who was still in Backlund in her mind, and expressed doubts that "White Saint" would do such a thing.
"Not sure, but the high probability is that it was at least 'Witch' who did it, and the method was cruel. The dead were burned by flames and put into religious postures, as if they were sacrificing to the evil god."
Evil God... Demoness Sect won't start preparing for disasters like Great Smog again... Angel thought for a moment, nodded:
"I will use my own channels to investigate."
Leonard nodded. This was his original intention, to use Tarot Club's member connections to provide some help in solving the case to avoid more victims.
As for this being equivalent to revealing his identity as the "Official Beyonder", he didn't really care. Anyway, he had already been exposed at the last party, and weren't there quite a few official Beyonders here...
His eyes swept over "Hanged Man" and "Empress" in turn, and finally stopped at "The World", Leonard sighed.
Suddenly, "The World" said in a hoarse voice:
"Dear Mr. Fool, I request to communicate with 'Empress' and 'Star' individually."
Under the gaze of the other party hidden behind Gray Fog, Leonard suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
If you do this, doesn't it mean telling everyone that there is some kind of secret between the three of us? No, does it count as an open connection?
He muttered, took a deep breath, and after Mr. Fool said yes, he began to tell "Amon" Annihilation Plan provided by Pallez.
