New Identity: Alexander Gascoigne

Medici was originally Sequence 1 Angel. After his death, his Characteristic were separated and mixed with the souls of the other two Angel to become an evil spirit.

However, due to the principle of Aggregation of Extraordinary Characteristics, over the past thousand years, extraordinary individuals who have passed through the Hunter Pathway have continuously come to the underground ruins and had their Characteristic absorbed by Him. Gradually, He has acquired the power of Sequence 4.

This aligns with his performance on the battlefield; thanks to his rank, which is higher than that of a typical Sequence 4, he was able to hold his own against Sequence 3.

--But this is beyond Luther's capabilities.

With the suppression of the Tide within his body, he could barely manage a draw with Medici. However, once he was in poor condition, this guy would ruthlessly take advantage of his weakness and try to seize control of his body.

Furthermore, because Medici did not become Lamb, Luther did not fix His abilities to three. The good news is that the opponent's abilities below Sequence 4 can be used freely; the bad news is that Medici's cooperation is required to use them.

"If you advance to Sequence 4 Black Knight, you should be able to control Him."

The Queen asked, "So, is there any news about a promotion?"

"I've already obtained the Black Knight's Potion recipe, and the Advancement Ritual has been completed ahead of schedule. All I'm missing is the Main Ingredient the Potion."

Luther replied, looking down and stroking Luna, "And my cat's Divination says that my opportunity to obtain the Main Ingredient the Potion lies in the Sonia Sea."

"Sonia Sea?"

The Queen paused for a moment, then said, "What a coincidence, it aligns with my recent goals."

"Your Queen, are you also going to sea?"

Luther asked.

"Well, rather, I spend most of my time at sea."

This is how the other party replied.

At sea, oh right, she left Backlund because her base at sea was attacked.

Luther's heart stirred as he noticed the giant ship beneath his feet.

Although this ship wasn't as huge as the Pritz, nor was it an ironclad vessel, it was still one of the largest he had ever seen. What was even more peculiar was that the ship seemed to exude a faint Spirituality, evidenced by the fact that even though there were only the two of them and the cat on board, the ship remained stable.

"Your Queen, you must be no ordinary person at sea, right?"

He asked cautiously.

My ship is named "Dawn".

The other person laughed, "At sea, I'm also known as the 'Queen Mystic'."

Queen Mystic!

One of the four Pirate Kings!

Luther recalled Roselle's diary, and realized that Zaratul's Divination was correct; his daughter had indeed become a remarkable figure in the extraordinary world.

As he sighed, the "Queen Mystic" Bernadette was also watching him.

"Do you need me to [Prophecy] the exact location of your Potion's Main Ingredient?"

She asked that question.

"May I?"

Luther said in surprise, "The Queen's kindness came rather suddenly."

The latter nodded, then looked at him, her eyes flashing with an extremely deep light, like the surface of the sea before Storm, or Abyssal Abyss. The Queen's eyes lost focus; she faced Luther, but what she was peering into was the river of Fate behind him, and the secrets within that river.

"Puff"

A moment later, Blood Tears streamed down Bernadette's face as she slowly closed her eyes.

"Your Queen, are you alright?"

Luther said with concern.

Many people seem to inevitably experience some kind of shock when Divination about themselves.

I see a certain potential in you.

The Queen spoke softly, almost in a dream, "In those images, I saw you hanging upside down beneath the black sky, bearing the weight of all the evil in the world."

"."

Luther did not respond; he remained silent.

This might be referring to his state after he took over the role of the True Creator?

"Of course, I've also found hope for your promotion."

A moment later, the Queen reopened her eyes. "There seems to be an opportunity for your advancement within the God War Ruins in the Sonia Sea. If you wish, I can take you there on my ship."

After the [Prophecy], she became even more cautious in her attitude towards Luther.

Luther roughly guessed some of the reasons; it was all perhaps related to his own special characteristics. Of course, even so, he had no reason to refuse the overtures of a High Sequence expert, especially given the high probability of gaining a promotion.

"Then, I'll be relying on you for the next period of time."

He held the black cat and smiled as he spoke to the other person.

"Good."

The Queen nodded, then took out a pale yellow document bag containing a complete set of identity documents.

"This is what you asked me for before, and I've prepared it for you."

To travel by ship at sea, one needs proof of identity. Oldest One, Luther planned to ask the Queen to help him obtain a fake document, but a series of unexpected accidents rendered the document meaningless.

Luther took the document, opened it, and saw that the name of his new design was clearly written on it.

Alexander Gascoigne.

The name came from two eccentric priests, and he felt it suited him quite well.

After putting away the documents, he turned to look out the ship's side and saw stars hanging low over the vast sea, with a crimson Moon floating between the sea and sky, reflecting a shimmering light onto the sea surface.

Luther knew that the new year had arrived and the long Evernight was about to end.

The Sun will eventually rise.

Meanwhile, at the Sodela Palace.

The collapsed building was still burning with bluish-white flames, and the stench of blood was so thick it was hard to dispel. The dead, the ruins, and the terrified survivors—this once magnificent Palace was now completely transformed.

"Your Majesty, Archbishop Radel Valentinus of the Church of Storms, Archbishop Saint Anthony Stevenson of the Church of Evernight, and Archbishop Horamick Hayden of the Church of Steam are all here and waiting outside to see you."

The Earl of the Imperial Palace, sweat beading on his forehead, lowered his head and spoke.

Even without looking up, he could feel the fury of George III on the Throne opposite him.

As far as the Earl could see, crimson stains deeply Corrosion the ground and stained the golden Throne with a dirty color.

What do they want to do?

George III's voice rang out, eerily calm.

"They... they demand an explanation."

"The Earl of the Imperial Palace murmured."

The air was heavy, then after a moment, George III laughed.

"An explanation? Sure, I'll explain it to them then. Lead the way."

He stepped down from the Throne and said to a well-dressed man standing in the palace, "Issue a nationwide warrant for the capture of that [Blood Bishop]."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Chief of MI9, "Celt said, bowing.

"No matter what method you use, no matter how much the reward, you must eliminate this rebel!"

George III's voice resounded throughout the palace. After issuing the order, he turned and strode across the red stain, heading out of the Palace.
