As the ups and downs of the "command" echoed in the wide space of the Underground Memorial Hall, a dark golden, substance-like light appeared all over the new Archon Anne, Angel can feel that the power of "order" that has re-supported this area has returned again, and other authorities suppressed by it have gradually returned to their positions, making Memorial Hall once again unable to be positioned, divined, and entered and exited at will by the outside world.

This should be the common strength of "Planeswalker", "Catastrophe" and "Duke of Entropy"...

They allowed Memorial Hall, which preserved the characteristics of "Hand of Order", to be replaced by Distortion, and its positioning was changed. Even from Mirror World, it was impossible to break through the barrier and step into this area commemorating "Night Emperor" and "Blood Moon Queen"...

Angel guessed. After the dark golden light faded and only the dim light without light source remained in the Memorial Hall, he looked above the two thrones again.

Regular Octahedron, which represents "Hand of Order", no longer emits light at this time, but slowly rotates, showing different triangular surfaces in Angel's sight. Complex symbols and patterns are constantly lit up inside the translucent surface. It seems chaotic, but it seems to fit in with some unique order.

It wasn't until the floating figure of Anne inserted itself between Angel and Regular Octahedron, blocking her view, that she realized that she had been looking at it for a long time without realizing it, and almost fell into it. Even when she woke up, it was as if someone was reciting the new laws that had just been promulgated in her mind:

"It is forbidden to harm others through parasitism, Stealing, Grafting destiny...

"Angelica Zaki has the agency authority in 'Dream City' second only to the Archon...

"'Dream City' is no longer restricted from leaving the country, but it requires the consent of the consul or agent..."

These are all "revisions" to provide convenience to us... No, it should be said to be a brand new law, but most of it is still copied from the version that has been in operation for thousands of years... As soon as Angel realized something, he was grabbed by the wrist by Anne who came in front of him, and then his eyes lit up, and he appeared on the roof of the City Hall.

Standing with them are Klein and Goredolf who have been waiting here.

"Congratulations, you have successfully obtained the power of 'Hand of Order'," Goredolf, a former consul and the clone of Amon, said with a smile, "Of course, this is just a good start. If you want to fully control this city, You have to formulate a complete set of laws as before, and to completely accommodate this Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic, even if your body is the Ghost Ship, you have to perform a Promotion Ritual normally."

"I do not intend to accommodate this Sequence 1's Beyonder Characteristic to become 'Hand of Order'."

Anne shook her head and once again rejected the proposal of Amon's clone, just like she refused to become a "consul" for the first time:

"From the brief contact just now, I found that its desire for order is too strong, and it stubbornly pursues laws that can operate perfectly. This is an advantage, which will allow it to have a certain degree of autonomy without living characteristics, but it is also a disadvantage. Once the rules conflict with itself, it will erase everything and formulate new laws as it did before.

"And once I accommodate this 'Hand of Order', I don't have enough anchors to form a stable cognition, but will be controlled by its persistence. It is not my ability to accommodate Sequence 1, but 'Hand of Order' that dominates me, just like it immediately absorbed and replaced the characteristics of 'Balancer' after being put into this city."

"Oh, I'm afraid this is caused by the residual spirit of 'Night Emperor' left in Beyonder Characteristic, and you were built by that empire and are the same Pathway as Sequence 2. If you use this Beyonder Characteristic promotion without being fully prepared, it is very likely that his spirit will be revived in your body, or at least show certain characteristics."

Amon's Avatar held his chin with interest and commented, as if he had known this "Night Emperor" before.

Well, if every Amon clone has all the memories of the original body, maybe he really knows all the emperors of Fourth Epoch... Angel thought of "Angel of Time " is an ancient existence that became King of Angel in Third Epoch. He must have experienced the complete Fourth Epoch and dealt with all the Angel families at that time.

She immediately remembered another thing, frowned and asked:

"Since you knew this danger, why did you let Anne become the new 'Consul', and even encouraged her to accommodate 'Hand of Order' Beyonder Characteristic?"

The clone of Amon, still wearing the appearance of Goredolf, chuckled, his eyes moved on the three people around him, and finally stopped on the street below which had gradually become quiet, and said:

"Of course it's because this is the optimal solution. From the moment you all came to 'Dream City', I could have predicted this outcome. If this Anne Miss could have accepted my plan at that time, there would be no need to cause trouble like this.

"Of course, now she has mastered part of the power of 'Hand of Order', which has been upgraded from Ghost Ship to 'Ghost Empire'. You have obtained the final secret treasure of Trunsoest. With the characteristics of 'Catastrophe' Demoness, Goredolf has fulfilled their wishes, and these people will also live under more relaxed laws. Everyone is happy and gratifying."

As he spoke, he clapped to himself, but when no one responded, he stopped with a "tsk" sound.

I'm afraid only your other clone brothers will cooperate with you at this time... Angel muttered.

She doesn't have high hopes for the characteristics of "Catastrophe" Demoness. Obviously, the normal operation of "Hope City" requires "Hand of Order" to control the other four copies of Sequence 2 and Beyonder Characteristic to maintain it. Even if there is a slight mistake, the entire city will fall into irreversible Catastrophe like ten minutes ago.

Unless...

As if Stealing had lost her thoughts, Goredolf scratched his chin again and said:

"Are you worried that getting the Beyonder Characteristic you need will collapse the city again?"

Seeing Angel looking over, he shook his head and said:

"This is the limitation of your thinking. The situation just now was sudden. All laws and 'orders' instantly failed, which led to the arrival of Catastrophe. Now that your contractor has become the new governor, he has a much better grasp of 'Hand of Order' than I did at that time. He can slowly peel off this 'Catastrophe' characteristic, and the city will lose only the virtual blue sky, sea and four seasons...

"It's easy to make up for that, just give them a real environment."

The real environment...Angel's thoughts were sluggish for a moment, and then he understood what Amon's Avatar meant:

He wants this "Dream City" to return to reality!

Can this be possible... Her first reaction was to question, followed by "why".

"Don't ask me why, life always needs some excitement, fun and expectations."

Goredolf once again said the words he said when he first met Angel.

From this perspective of "having fun", even if I have Goredolf's memory and part of his personality, Amon's Avatar still can't get rid of the bad taste of the original body... But what he said seems to be the only way, unless I give up the Sequence 2 characteristics that are readily available. And if Anne wants to get rid of the shackles of the "Archon", the best way is to let "Hope City" return to reality instead of continuing to exist in the cracks of Spirit World.

Angel thought about it, looked at Goredolf again, and asked:

"What about you? It seems that you are not included in the 'perfect ending' you just mentioned?"

"Ha," this Amon's Avatar sneered again and replied matter-of-factly, "At this time, will you let me go, let 'Blasphemer' Amon's Avatar go?" Isn't my end already doomed? "

He took two steps and came to the edge of the rooftop. He turned his back to the "Dream City" street, opened his hands to face Angel, Klein and Anne, and said:

"Kill me."

Huh?

Angel was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Klein, confirming that the other party was as surprised as himself, and then realized that he had heard correctly.

"Kill you, then let your 'Worm of Time' and Beyonder Characteristic return to the body of Amon, and take all the information here with you?"

She said with a scoff.

This kind of thing, Angel and others discovered when Backlund was fighting Amon's clone. If it weren't for the help of another friendly Marauder Angel, killing Amon's Avatar would be equivalent to telling this "Angel of Time": Come on, there is a problem here!

"On the contrary, in this 'Dream City', even Beyonder Characteristic that returns to my body will be blocked by the power of 'Hand of Order', otherwise I will be trapped in the first place." God, I can commit suicide and return to my true body, taking the information with me... Well, I guess in order to prevent me from escaping, this Balancer Miss first restricted anyone from leaving the country when he re-enacted the law, right? "

Amon's Avatar glanced at Anne and replied with a smile.

Indeed, when I saw the true appearance of "Hand of Order" just now, I also got a glimpse of several important laws... Angel was thinking about it, and was not sure whether the other party's words were true or false.

But Anne seemed to have made up her mind. The golden color in her eyes became purer after becoming a "Consul". At this time, she was looking directly at Amon unceremoniously and said:

"I won't kill you, but I can't let you go. The new law has put more restrictions on you, including friendly 'parasitism' and 'stealing' behaviors... You must serve as the Archon's assistant and help me formulate perfect laws until the 'Catastrophe' Demoness characteristic is taken out and 'Hope City' returns to reality from Spirit World.

"Only then will you get a fair 'judgment'."

After hearing the arrangements for him, the smile on Amon's Avatar's face that belonged to Goredolf froze.

After a moment, he laughed again, his eyes narrowed and his simple monocle tilted to one side.

"That's it, it sounds interesting."

He said, casually removing the lens from his right eye socket and putting it back in his pocket.
