Soroa left quite decisively, simply bowing his head before disappearing from his possessed target. Luther had originally wanted to ask him about the special features of his body, but the other party didn't give him the chance at all.

Or, to put it another way, Soroa might have guessed that Luther might ask a question, so he left immediately after achieving his goal.

Who are you? Where is this place?

The bewildered middle-aged gentleman cried out in panic. He became even more uneasy after looking around and realizing he was in a dark tomb.

The powerful being that had been lurking within him had departed; he was merely a Sequence 6 Extraordinary. It was perfectly reasonable for him to feel confused and terrified about his current situation.

"Enough, be quiet."

Luther found him noisy and gave him a direct order.

M's figure appeared behind him, his golden eyes shining brightly, reflected in the middle-aged gentleman's eyes. The gentleman then stood quietly, saying nothing more.

"Take this and leave. Go home."

Luther turned around, picked up a Beyonder Characteristic from the ground, and threw it into his arms. "Forget what we look like, and forget what happened today."

"Good"

The middle-aged man mumbled incoherently, then left the tomb, clutching his Characteristic. When he regained his senses, he would likely be puzzled by his gains, but that would be irrelevant to Luther and the others.

As for the unfortunate Best, he's already dead, so there's no need to share with him.

"I'm telling you, you should choose your teammates more carefully next time."

Watching the other person's figure gradually disappear into the darkness, Luther turned to Sharron and said.

Amon's tomb is indeed dangerous, but to be honest, the most dangerous factor in this exploration was the teammate traveling with them: a Demigod with ill intentions and an even more dangerous and unpredictable High Sequence powerhouse. Their terrifying nature goes without saying.

". Um."

Sharron nodded in agreement.

The two gathered the Beyonder Characteristic scattered on the ground, and also searched the pockets of the dead, piling up the valuables together. Although the exploration process was extremely dangerous, taking stock of the spoils always brought a sense of satisfaction.

In summary, the spoils can be divided into three parts: the Beyonder Characteristic and Beyonder Item extracted by the explorers, three enormous diamond-shaped Human Skin Shadow Characteristic, and a peculiar Picture Frame with a portrait of Amon.

Among them, the explorers' Characteristic Sequence are generally low, with the highest being only Sequence 6, and most of the Beyonder Item are also at this level. Although they do have some effects, they are not very useful to Luther at the moment. Only the Picture Frame has powerful abilities and is the most precious.

How to divide it?

Luther asked Sharron.

"I provided the graveyard location and organized the exploration, but I also picked the Error teammates, so my share should be reduced," Sharron said calmly. "You contributed more than me, so your share should be increased."

"You have 70% of the shares, and you can choose first."

It seems she was not swayed by the large number of valuable items and maintained a restrained attitude.

"Very fair."

Luther didn't stand on ceremony with her and directly reached out and took the Picture Frame.

"That'll be 40%, and the rest we'll split 30/30."

He put the Picture Frame away and said.

"Can."

Sharron had no objection to this.

The two roughly divided the remaining items equally. Luther kept two copies of the Human Skin Shadow's Characteristic and several powerful Beyonder Item. He gave the rest of his share to Sharron, who would exchange them for Pound at various gatherings.

After carefully cleaning up the remaining traces, the two left the tomb.

The Moon was gradually setting in the west, and it was getting late at night. The surface of the Stratford River shimmered with a dim, Red Light, and the water gurgled. The towering white cliffs, bathed in the moonlight, appeared majestic and imposing.

Leaving the dark and terrifying tomb, the beautiful scenery before them made the two feel as if they had returned to the human world.

How can I contact you afterward?

After admiring the natural scenery for a few seconds, Luther came back to his senses and asked a question.

"The Demigod of the 'Rose School of Thought' have returned to Backlund; it's best not to contact them anytime soon," Sharron replied. "If it's really urgent, you can show up at the 'Brave One's' tavern."

Is it enough to just show your face?

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on that place secretly and contact you afterwards."

"Understood."

Luther nodded.

Tonight's haul was indeed plentiful. The Characteristic of the Human Skin Shadow can be sold to [the World] at the Tarot Club, and the Amon Picture Frame is even more powerful and extremely valuable.

The Forsaken Land of the Gods, the City of Silver.

Lightning occasionally ripped through the dark sky, briefly illuminating the landscape. On the dark and endless earth, a city stood silently, radiating its own unique light.

Derrick walked down the city street with his head down.

"Derrick, is the observation period over?"

"Hey, Derrick, I heard about that. You did a great job!"

People on the street greeted him warmly when they saw him.

"Thanks."

Derrick replied somewhat reservedly, seemingly unaccustomed to people's attitude.

His sudden rise to some fame is related to this exploration.

Upon returning to the city-state, the exploration team finally discovered the anomaly in time. Based on the deductions of Chief Colin and other experienced and knowledgeable elders, they roughly guessed that it was related to the "Fate Reversal" ability of "Angel of Fate" Ouroboros.

The squad had endured a great deal of repetition, and had it not been for Derrick's reminder, they might have been trapped in that Temple for a long time, perhaps even wiped out. Derrick's contribution was significant and was unanimously recognized by his teammates afterward.

This exploration itself attracted the attention of the entire city. After the team returned, the events that had occurred were quickly found out by busybodies and gradually spread.

Thanks to them, Derrick, an ordinary team member who was previously ignored, suddenly became known to more people.

Mr. Hanged Man, will this allow me to gradually build connections?

Derrick thought to himself.

He continued onward and arrived at the center of City of Silver, where a Round Tower stood. This Round Tower symbolized the highest power in City of Silver, where the Council of Six worked, and beneath it lay numerous secret facilities and locations.

"I'm here to see the chief."

Upon arriving at the gate of the Round Tower, Derrick spoke directly to the extraordinary one on duty.

"Go up."

The latter, as if expecting this, stepped aside to let the guards through the door, saying, "The Your Excellency is waiting for you upstairs."

Just as Mr. Temperance said, His Your Excellency already knew about my unusual behavior.

Derrick thought to himself as he pushed open the door.
