Garden of Eden

Luther's Consciousness split into two parts. One part was manipulating his physical body to confront [Gluttony], while the other part was above his own Mind Island, watching [Gluttony]'s Avatar ascend his island along the stone steps.

"Hehe."

The Dragon with grayish-white scales let out a terrifying laugh, looking at the Black Knight opposite it with satisfaction. Multiple Avatar of the dragon had already landed on the island; even Demigod would only be a matter of time before it gained control!

"Thump thump thump..."

The Avatar of those shadowy herons were covered in scales, and their eyes were golden vertical pupils. They rushed step by step into the depths of the island, trying to invade Luther's mind and control his Consciousness.

"Boom!"

The waves around the island surged up, seemingly in response to their movements.

Just a few more seconds!

[Gluttony] In reality, Luther has stopped moving, seemingly lost in a trance. Meanwhile, in the Mind World, the masks on the faces of several Avatar cruelly gape open, as if ready to devour something...

But just then, the seemingly dazed and confused phantom of Luther above the island suddenly moved.

He lowered his head and looked at the several Avatar who looked surprised.

"I'm sorry, I caught you."

Suddenly, from the center of the island, a Phantom Tide surged forth. The Tide was viscous and black, heavy and chaotic, instantly covering the entire island and easily swallowing the Avatar.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

The Dragon let out a shrill scream, but this time it wasn't a dragon's roar; it was a human voice.

Strange changes began to occur on its body; the mysterious symbols on its scales became Distortion and bizarre, as if they were about to completely cover its body. As the symbols spread, its eyes gradually became crazed, and its body began to swell and bloat, seemingly on the verge of losing control and going mad!

But at that moment, it suddenly turned its head sharply and bit its own back hard.

"Brush!"

An invisible force suddenly cleaved its spirit, forcibly tearing off the corrupted spirit and spitting it onto the ground.

"..."

The dragon scales Corrosion the moment they hit the ground, emitting a strong stench. At that moment, the Dragon's body slowly shrank back, transforming back into a human.

"How is that possible!"

[Gluttony]'s body swayed precariously, his mind seemingly enduring immense pain. His once meticulously groomed hair was now disheveled, and his eyes glared fiercely at Luther. "You're no ordinary Black Knight!"

"Didn't Barros tell you these things?"

Luther looked at him and asked calmly.

The "Queen Mystic" had already told him that Barros Hopkins was not only the King of the Black Throne, but also had many other identities, including the president of the Psychology Alchemists. Considering that [Gluttony] was Demigod, the so-called "Council" should be a core member of this organization.

"Could it be..."

Luther saw that the [Gluttony] opposite him showed a look of fear and realization, as if he had suddenly understood something.

"President... you actually lied to me..."

He shouted venomously.

As soon as he finished speaking, [Gluttony] didn't look at Luther again, but turned around immediately without hesitation and jumped into the empty air.

"Brush!"

His body suddenly vanished.

This time, it's not just "Psychological Invisibility," it's truly vanished!

"Trying to run? Too late!"

Luther sneered.

Because he had mastered the "Spectator" Pathway, he easily saw through the other party's ability, which was "Dream Traversal," the ability to quickly teleport by traversing the Dream of Wisdom beings!

He, also carrying a sword, followed the trail left by [Gluttony] and jumped in.

On the edge of Toscarter Island, a two- or three-year-old baby, unaffected by the island's turmoil, was still fast asleep in his simple bed, leaning against his mother. Suddenly, bizarre and colorful lights burst forth near his head, and from within the colors, two figures rushed out.

"Brush!"

The first to appear was Mr. [Gluttony]. After landing, he didn't stop at all, completely ignoring the screams of the child's mother, he pushed open the window and jumped out.

Following closely behind was Luther, who Greatsword and chased after [Gluttony] as well.

Damn it, damn it!

Sweat beaded on [Gluttony's] face. The situation had completely exceeded his expectations. The [Blood Bishop] that Barros had described at the Council was nothing like the [Blood Bishop] he had actually encountered!

What does it mean to be "nearly insane, going crazy with just a push"? He himself possesses High Sequence abilities through the "Spectator" Pathway!

What do you mean by "[very good material, which can greatly help you digest the Potion]"? It's simply beyond my ability to handle!

Now, [Gluttony] finally realized the problem. His decision this time was too abrupt, as if he had been subtly pushed forward by someone in the shadows... Thinking about it carefully, it was because of this meeting that he formulated the plan and began to act rashly after receiving news of [Blood Bishop]'s arrival on the island.

By this point, he could easily understand that he had been used. Not only had he failed to digest the Potion, but his own situation had also become extremely dangerous.

President Barros!

[Gluttony] was both shocked and angry. He recalled the meaningful look on the other person's face during the meeting.

No, we have to save ourselves!

He quickly stroked the semi-transparent mask on his face, causing the mask, with its gaping mouth devouring everything, to glow. Then, everything around him began to blur, as if the barrier between reality and illusion had been Distortion.

The surrounding scenery stretched rapidly forward, beginning to take on a strange appearance.

The Daytime faded, and what appeared around [Gluttony] was a city shrouded in night. This city was filled with magnificent buildings that exuded an air of mystery, and gentlemen in top Top Hat and trench coats and women in elaborate and somber dresses walked about.

However, these well-dressed gentlemen and ladies were not normal people. Some of them were covered in black hair, with protruding snouts and protruding fangs, resembling werewolves. Others were covered in feathers, with sharp beaks and long necks, and were simply birds dressed in clothes.

Simply put, all the residents of this city are beasts in clothes!

"Huff, huff..."

[Gluttony] ran into the street, panting heavily. His body had also changed, covered with fine, smooth scales, his head had become flat, and his mouth stretched wide to the sides of his head.

He transformed into a snake dressed in a suit.

"Thankfully... Garden of Eden is still safe..."

[Gluttony] he thought to himself.

A moment later, he was filled with intense anger and wanted to run up to Barros and confront him, asking him what he wanted to do!

But just then, the street behind him became illusory again, and someone entered.

"You run very fast."

Luther laughed, holding a mask in his hand; it was a fragment of the [Gluttony] Avatar.

With his other hand, he held Greatsword high in the air.
