An anomaly at the Giant King's Court

Through the external influence of "Black Emperor" Roselle, the internal Corrosion of the Chaos Sea, and the mad self-destruction of Luther himself, the True Creator was forcibly split into three parts, each carrying the Characteristic Sequence 1 and scattering away.

Due to the heavy losses at the time, and the need to guard against Adam, Luther and Roselle failed to stop the three Characteristic from scattering. At the time, he was quite regretful, feeling that after fighting for so long, he hadn't even gotten any spoils. Now, it seems that the most precious Uniqueness had been left at his feet long ago.

Wait... could it be that Lao Huang didn't fail to intercept it for me, but instead intercepted the most valuable "Hanged Man" Pathway's Uniqueness?

Luther wondered to himself.

Looking back now, it seems that the True Creator did not completely perish after this split... What Ouroboros took out back then might have been the body that was demoted to Angel after urgently extracting its Characteristic - this move was already used once when it was devoured by the three Angel, Feng Baizhi.

In short, obtaining Uniqueness is always a good thing.

However, leaving it out like this is too conspicuous; I wonder if it can be put away...

Luther reached out his hand toward his own shadow.

Using his "shadow" abilities, he separated Uniqueness from his shadow and then took it to the Tide, where he temporarily stored it in an empty space in the Tower.

Normally, only after promotion Sequence 1 is there an opportunity to consider the Uniqueness of the corresponding Pathway.

After returning to reality from the Tide, Luther stood still and briefly assessed the current situation.

As for his allies, Klein has most likely escaped their predicament.

On the enemy's side, the True Creator has been demoted to Angel, taking one Sequence 1 Characteristic with him. The other two Sequence 1 traits flew into the depths of the "Forsaken Land of the Gods," with their Uniqueness being obtained by Luther himself. Adam and Ouroboros have already left, and the situation of Amon is currently unknown.

Also, regarding myself...

He closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.

The Spirituality within him was abundant and powerful, and new and strange abilities and knowledge flooded into his mind along with the Potion.

This is... Sequence 2 ability related to "Profane Presbyter"?

Luther was stunned for a moment, then realized that this must have been the sacrifice made by the "Silent Angel" Heliodorus. He used his authority of "Filthy Words" to create a powerful effect to help him merge with the True Creator. But the merging failed, and instead, He himself became Luther's material for advancement.

Moreover, perhaps because he was integrated into the True Creator at that time, there was an extremely unique mystical environment, and Luther did not even go through Advancement Ritual, but perfectly combined with the Beyonder Characteristic of the "Profane Presbyter".

Moreover, in Luther's own perception, more than half of the "Profane Presbyter" Potion within his body had already dissipated.

Change.

Is this because I launched a "Filthy Words" attack on Adam and the True Creator, and due to the extremely high status of the target, I was deemed to have prematurely Acting, leading to the rapid digestion of the Potion...?

Luther thought to himself, and gradually frowned.

His promotions were happening at an increasingly rapid pace, and he couldn't be sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. After all, according to Adam, he was also one of God Almighty's backup plans, and for this reason, God Almighty would guide him to a high position as soon as possible, so that he could be resurrected within him.

No, even so, they should continue to be promoted.

Luther shook his head. The difference was that it had to be done under his own control. He should wait until the Potion was fully digested before considering the subsequent promotion, instead of being pushed to run relentlessly towards the finish line.

With this in mind, his future plans became clear.

Resurrect Cecilia, fight Adam and his enemies, guard against [God Almighty's ] Corrosion, and confront the Apocalypse and the Outer Deity.

Therefore, he needs to be promoted.

Speaking of which, besides the one taken away by the True Creator, there should be two other Sequence 1 "Dark Angel" Beyonder Characteristic that flew into the depths of the continent... It seems he needs to stay in the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" a little longer to collect those two Characteristic...

Alternatively, I could consider exploring the "Giant King’s Court" offline with City of Silver.

"Call!"

Just as he was thinking this, an endless gray mist suddenly appeared before Luther's eyes, Fool's figure appeared in the mist, saying to him, "After a thousand heartbeats, the gathering will officially begin."

Indeed, since he is now in the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" like the [Sun] and lacks the means to perceive time, the Fool gave advance notice in this way.

"Yes, Mr. Fool."

Luther nodded in agreement.

When the Fog dissipated, he almost Consciousness looked behind him, wanting the red-haired, golden-eyed woman to create Virtual Personality for him to ascend Above the Gray Fog. But he quickly realized she was gone; from now on, he would have to rely on himself.

Luther fell silent, his eyes gradually turning golden, and then he extended a finger and plunged it into his temple with a "plop".

Meanwhile, City of Silver.

"After a thousand heartbeats, the party officially begins."

Derrick also saw a thick fog and Fool before his eyes, and upon hearing these words, a joyful smile finally appeared on his face.

"Yes, esteemed Mr. Fool!"

Great, Mr. Fool hasn't abandoned us...

He stood up excitedly and paced around the prayer room several times before forcing himself to sit down.

Calm down, calm down. I'm about to attend Tarot Club. I can't let this cause any accidents... Derrick told himself, trying to take deep breaths to calm himself down and regulate his heart rate.

But just then...

"Look at the sky!"

"Creator above, what is that?!"

"Report to the chief immediately!"

A cacophony of sounds erupted outside, the cacophony revealing a palpable sense of panic and astonishment.

What happens?

Hearing the noise growing louder and louder, Derrick couldn't help but get up, rush to the window of the Tower, and look outside.

He saw many people run out from the base of the Round Tower, gather in the courtyard, and all look at the distant horizon with incredulous expressions.

Derrick followed their gaze and looked into the distance.

"What is that...?"

Soon enough, he, like everyone else, widened his eyes in astonishment.

Beneath the pitch-black sky, amidst the swirling and exploding lightning, a strange object transformed into a streak of light, swiftly flashing past. Due to its astonishing speed and the vast distance, the details of the object were indistinguishable; only the terrifying Spirituality and oppressive power emanating from it could be sensed.

And the direction this beam of light was traveling was none other than "the Giant King’s Court!"

Derrick cried out in disbelief.
