Going separate ways

Roselle's Historical Projection floated in the air, its invisible, powerful majesty crashing down like a raging tide.

Behind him stood Luther and Klein, and before him were Adam and Amon. Supported by the abilities of the "Scholar of Yore" and the Spirit Body of the same Pathway, he appeared at this moment taller than the mountain that bore the "Giant King’s Court" and deeper than the darkness of the "Forsaken Land of the Gods."

Even when facing the two brothers who were the King of Angel, he did not appear to be intimidated.

"Quick! Make him [Distortion] Adam's will!"

Luther looked at Klein urgently and shouted.

Just a moment, just a moment. If I can break free from Adam's mental control in an instant and successfully summon the tide of the [Chaos Sea], I can create a solid defense, making it difficult for the opponent to affect me again—only after that can the counterattack begin!

"Immediately!"

Klein may not have been aware of Luther's intentions, but at this crucial moment, he chose to trust Luther and immediately guided Roselle in the sky to shift his gaze to Luther, unleashing the power of "chaos".

"!"

Luther suddenly felt a lightness in his body, as if some shackle Imprisonment his mind had suddenly broken. Overjoyed, he immediately closed his eyes without hesitation and tried to summon the Phantom Tide within his mind—

"Bang!"

He didn't hear the sound of the Tide; instead, he heard the sound of something heavy crashing down. Strong wind pressure slapped against his cheeks, and the seal that had just disappeared reappeared.

What happened...?

Luther opened his eyes and saw Klein's bewildered face, and... surrounding the two of them, in the vaulted ceiling, between the walls, and inside the pillars, were countless skulls of different races and sizes. These skulls faced them, silently staring at them with their empty eye sockets.

Corpse Cathedral!

They were locked inside the Church of Adam's Corpse Cathedral!

"Oh no..."

Klein exclaimed in surprise and immediately looked out the church window.

He watched in despair as Roselle's projection was completely shut out, unable to exert any influence on them. Against Amon and Adam, Roselle's projection persisted for a few seconds before vanishing entirely.

Their attempt to resist failed.

Before Luther could react, the church flickered with light and shadow, and Adam and Amon appeared before him.

"That's a real surprise."

Amon surveyed the interior of the church, saying with interest, "You were so decisive, bringing this thing out right away... I wanted to play with them a little longer." He seemed to think Adam was overreacting.

"The situation just now was risky."

Adam calmly explained, "If we delay any longer, Roselle's true form might detect it, triggering God Descent..."

Even if they are the sons of the Creator, the King of Angel, they still fear a True God...

Seeing this, Luther thought to himself.

However, the unique nature of the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" isolates it from the Spirit World and makes it difficult for other gods to reach it. Even if Roselle is True God, it's unlikely that God Descent here... no, wait.

He realized it quickly.

Just like Amon, who was able to enter by exploiting a "bug," the "Black Emperor," as the shadow of Order, might also sneak in by exploiting loopholes.

If they had held out longer, Roselle might have actually noticed the plight of his two fellow countrymen and come down to help... But unfortunately, Adam was very cautious and immediately ruled out that possibility.

"However, this thing is indeed quite useful."

After hearing this, Amon simply smiled, looked around curiously, and then said, "Let me borrow it to play with sometime."

"Help..."

Just then, a weak and pained voice suddenly rang out.

The voice came from Adam's right hand, from the translucent soul of George III. It was thus revealed after Roselle's projection disappeared.

"Help me..."

George III clearly recognized Adam and said to Him with hope, "My tomb still exists... there is still hope for the Ritual to be performed again... when I become the 'Black Emperor'... I will help you become a god..."

But Adam just looked at him calmly.

Suddenly, He raised His hand forward and threw George III's soul directly towards Luther.

No, no, no!

George III screamed in terror, his transparent face contorted in extreme Distortion.

He struggled frantically, trying to get away from Luther.

But a mystical bond had already formed between them. The moment Adam let go, Luther activated "Grazing" to call back the Lamb, forcefully and irrationally pulling back George III's soul, swallowing him whole, and lashing him with an invisible whip, continuing to subject him to endless torment. "You really dare to take him in."

Seeing this, Amon laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid there might be a trap hidden inside?"

Luther was slightly taken aback, but quickly sneered, "George III has long been immersed in the Chaos Sea. If you're not afraid of being tainted by its aura, then do as you please."

"I didn't fall for it... never mind."

Amon shrugged. "We've finished eating, so let's call it a day."

Having Klein his teammates' fate and prevented another act of resistance... He had exhausted all his options, and now he seemed somewhat disheartened.

"You're taking him to see the Hanged Man, right? Then we'll part ways here."

Amon snapped his fingers, and Klein involuntarily began to move, following him toward the gates of the Corpse Cathedral.

The two had barely reunited when they had to part ways again, each going on their own path to their Fate. Having fallen into the hands of these Angel brothers, they didn't know if they would ever live to see each other again.

Damn it...

Luther cursed inwardly, trying to stop Amon, but under Adam's control, he stood futilely in place, unable to move.

Just then, he heard Klein's voice. "They cannot directly seize the Sefirah!"

The latter shouted, "Remember this!"

He reminded Luther Zedao of what he considered most important, but before he could finish speaking, Amon led him out of the church and disappeared into the darkness outside the door.

Unable to directly seize the Sefirah...

Luther narrowed his eyes, a sudden realization seemingly flashing through his mind.

Despite being a top-tier "Marauder," Amon consistently tried to persuade and entice Klein to hand over the Sefirah Castle voluntarily... The games they played afterwards seemed more like a constant weakening of his will, causing him to lose his composure...

Adam, on the other hand, was even more restrained, only saying that he would be taken to see the True Creator... He didn't even mention the Chaos Sea...

Let's go.

The blond priest spoke, interrupting Luther's thoughts.

He reached out and put away the Corpse Cathedral, then led Luther deeper into the "Forsaken Land of the Gods".

Based on previous speculation, the True Creator's Divine Kingdom is located at the northernmost tip of the continent. Therefore, the direction Amon led Klein just now was eastward... Is there anything there?
