The Sun's Reward

"[Temperance] Mr., so you mean all of this was caused by that being named Ouroboros?"

"[The Sun] "Derrick asked.

As Sequence 5 Shepherd belonging to the Secrets Suppliant Pathway, Luther's words are quite persuasive when it comes to matters related to the True Creator.

"Yes, the power He possesses includes the ability to control the cycle of Fate."

Luther nodded.

"Then how should I solve this?"

"Break the cycle."

Luther said, "The problem lies with that little boy Jack. The fact that he could survive for so long in such a dangerous temple is already very strange."

"But every time we kill him, it sends us back to the beginning, doesn't it?"

"[The Sun] "Derrick asked, puzzled.

"It is because of your kills that this cycle keeps repeating itself."

Luther shook his head. "If you ask me, he might have been tainted by the remnants of Ouroboros's aura within the Temple, gaining corresponding abilities. When he was killed, it instinctively activated, causing the cycle of Fate to repeat until he ended up not dying."

His words left everyone thoughtful.

"Indeed, that makes sense."

After considering Hanged Man, Alger said, "So the key to breaking this deadlock is to eliminate the aura of Ouroboros from that little boy?"

"Um."

Luther agreed, "Your chief of City of Silver should be able to do it, provided you can get him to discover these things. As for how to guide him to do it, that's not my forte."

The Pathway "Spectator" [Justice] and the sinister [Hanged Man] are both experts in this area. Thus, with everyone's collective wisdom, a reasonable process quickly emerged. As long as [The Sun] follows it, he should be able to break free from the cycle.

Thank you very much, everyone.

"[The Sun] Derrick said sincerely, 'If it weren't for these people from the Tarot Club, I don't know how much longer I would have been stuck in this cycle, especially Mr. [Temperance]. As a token of my gratitude, I will inquire with the Chief about the " Black Knight "Potion for you.'"

With your words, I know my favor wasn't in vain.

"Very good."

Luther said calmly.

After the [Sun] Derrick matter was resolved, the Tarot Club finally got back on track. [Justice] Audrey presented several pages of Roselle's diary as compensation for what she had previously owed. The contents included Roselle's early complaints about aristocratic life and his considerations regarding his Sequence 4 Pathway.

The most important page records his conversation with the mysterious Zaratul. Zaratul tells Roselle:

What is a miracle?

"To come back from the dead is a miracle!"

To die and be brought back to life.

Klein couldn't help but think of what had happened to him, and the story of his fellow countryman who had also transmigrated and lived on the other side of the long table. Both of them had been killed, and both had been resurrected after death.

Is this a miracle?

The miracles that happen to us may prove that our existence itself is extremely special.

It took some willpower for Klein to keep his gaze from falling on Luther.

The reason I was resurrected was likely due to this Gray Fog, but what about him? Was it because of the sound of the Tide?

What exactly are these two things? Could they be what is meant by Uniqueness?

The "Black Emperor" card contains the entire Sequence of Potion recipes and Ritual. In Mid-Sequence 0, which is the recipe of the True God, the most important Beyonder Characteristic is not all the Characteristic of Sequence 1, but a special thing called "Uniqueness," which can only be found once per Pathway.

There is only one True God.

No, that sound of the Tide is at least on the same level as my Gray Fog, but the True God of the Secrets Suppliant Pathway already exists. It's impossible to extract it and put it into his hands. I can find an opportunity to tell Luther this information.

Klein pondered for a moment, but didn't think about it for too long, lest [Justice] and the others discover something amiss.

"You may begin."

He wiped the Parchment from his hand and smiled as he addressed the crowd.

Luther immediately looked at [The Hanged Man], who replied without hesitation, "The item made using the 'Psychiatrist' Characteristic is complete; the Judge's item is still under construction."

"How much?"

Audrey asked impatiently.

"£2100, a very reasonable price."

[The Hanged Man] Alger said.

"That's a bit expensive, 2000 pounds."

[Justice] Audrey had been to some extent the Beyonder Gathering, and she tried to appear shrewd.

Alger looked at Luther.

The Characteristic come from the other party; he is only responsible for communicating with the Artisan and giving a suggested selling price. Whether or not to lower the price is up to the other party. Of course, the higher the price, the larger his share will be.

"Can."

Luther didn't mind, then looked at Alger the Hanged Man, "After the party, let's have Mr. Fool trade the money and goods."

"The Artisan's fee is 200 pounds, and I take one-eighth, which is 250 pounds."

[The Hanged Man] Alger added.

"Then I'll transfer 450 pounds to you later."

Luther nodded and added, "Furthermore, as long as you pay, I can give you the recipe for 'Wind-blessed' and the Potion anytime."

That's 4500 pounds!

Alger's lips twitched Hanged Man. "I will."

I spent a lot of time and effort to earn only £250 in commission, while the other party earned ten times that amount.

After speaking with [The Hanged Man], Luther looked at the gloomy man at the end of the long table, [The World]. This member of the Tarot Club was always taciturn and had an inorganic, cold aura about him.

"I've made contact with that extraordinary individual, and we're preparing to explore the noble Mausoleum of the Fourth Epoch soon."

This graveyard contains the [World] required Human Skin Shadow Characteristic.

"OK."

The world spoke calmly.

I already knew that.

Klein added to himself, "I was there when Luther and Sharron were discussing this."

[Temperance] Sir, you've made so much money, I'm so envious.

[The Magician] Fors thought to himself, then looked at Audrey and told her that he had obtained the Mirror Dragon Eyes from his Teacher and was selling them for a high price of 1,000 pounds.

"Okay, deal!"

[Justice] Audrey agreed without hesitation, and Fors was pleased and excited by her quick response.

After the transaction was completed, everyone began to freely exchange ideas.

"Mr. [Sun], could you show us the mural again?"

"[Justice]," Audrey asked, a statement echoed by the others. During the earlier demonstration, their primary focus had been on resolving [the Sun's ] difficulties; while they were curious about the murals, they hadn't really taken a proper look.

"No problem."

[The Sun] Derrick, of course, wouldn't refuse, and brought those murals to life once again. Those mottled and ancient murals thus appeared in the eternal Ancient Castle, adding a great deal of historical weight.

"I care a lot about this mural."

"Justice," Audrey said, pointing to the image of the True Creator supporting the world, "Who are those evil gods surrounding Him?"

"I think I can explain that."

At this moment, the usually silent [World] suddenly spoke.
