Sasrir

"Blood Emperor"?

Alista Tudor, who forcibly became a half- True God by using three Hunter Pathway Angel as materials?

Upon hearing the name, Luther instinctively frowned. Recalling the emperor's mad actions, he felt an increasing sense of foreboding.

"... What materials did you send to that ruin?"

"It contains Mercury, iron ore, building materials, and various Ritual herbs..."

Qonas rambled on about many things, which were mixed together and showed no apparent connection. Perhaps this was intentional, making it difficult to guess what was going on.

What are your Pathway for acquiring population data?

Luther asked again, his eyes turning slightly cold as he brought up the topic.

"There was Capim, a human trafficker from Backlund; followers of the Aurora Order; and people from the Southern Continent and natives of the Sonia Sea abducted by the Demoness Sect..." Qonas searched his memory to answer, "Later, Capim was killed, and the Aurora Order in Backlund was Destruction, leaving only the Demoness Sect at sea to provide a stable population."

Yes, it's my fault for not cleaning it up properly.

Luther calmly pressed on, "Do you know how the Demoness Sect transports people? What are the specific channels and who are involved?"

"Tracy, the Ailment Maiden, Crazy Captain Connors Victor..."

Qonas replied.

Crazy Captain, huh?

Luther memorized another name.

He asked Qonas many questions from various angles, trying to construct a concrete outline of the Royal Family plan, but he was unsuccessful. He only gained more information, learning that Qonas had been promoted to Sequence 4 under the emperor's orders, and that the "Concerto of Light and Shadow" was also a Royal Family gift. In addition to the Demoness Sect and the Aurora Order, the organizations cooperating with the Royal Family also included the Psychology Alchemists.

"That's fine."

The prolonged interrogation had left Qonas somewhat listless, and since nothing new could be extracted from him, Luther opened his palm and once again absorbed him into his body.

"Medici, do you know something?"

He suddenly spoke, asking the evil spirit of the Red Angel.

The latter chuckled softly.

"Want to know? Then beg me."

He said it with a rather wicked sense of humor.

"... I'll throw Sophia Einhorn overboard right now."

"Tch, go ahead and throw it. Don't think I didn't notice, you seem to have some connection with her."

Medici, hearing Luther's direct threat, remained dismissive, but his tone softened somewhat. "Alright, I'll mercifully remind you... Alista has gone mad long ago. He's tried countless times for power, for survival..."

"Try what?"

Luther sensed something was wrong from the meaningful pause in his sleeve.

"Trying to become True God."

Medici laughed. "Of course, in the end, that bastard succeeded."

"Damn Tudor!"

"You insane maggot!"

Sauron and Einhorn, who hadn't appeared for a long time, also began to curse, and the three Hunter Angel were unusually united at this moment.

However, Luther's expression gradually darkened after Medici spoke.

"... You mean, that ruin might be the Blood Emperor's attempt to become a god?"

He asked, his voice dry and cold.

Although Alista did not ultimately achieve Tudor in this way, he left behind related relics. George III, having unearthed these relics, considered using them to become True God.

On the churning sea, Luther felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Such strict secrecy, the alliance of multiple forces... it really could be for the purpose of creating a True God in this Fifth Epoch where mystery has faded! As for the people who died in the Plague, the slaves who were trafficked, they were merely stepping stones for this king to become a god...

Are you alright?

M observed his expression, walked over, and asked softly. She reached out a hand to Luther, as if wanting to touch his forehead.

"Fine."

Luther pushed her arm away, rejecting her offer of kindness.

No, it's too early to make a judgment.

He told himself that the Blood Emperor's relics might have another purpose, and not be a means to become a god... He should remain vigilant for now and wait until he met with Klein to discuss it further.

Luther regained some composure.

"There's one more thing, Medici."

He quickly recalled the other party's promise before the battle, "You promised me you would tell me the secret of this sea."

Now that I've brought Sophia Einhorn aboard, can you keep your promise?

"Can."

Medici laughed, his straightforward attitude even surprising Luther.

"Then you go ahead and tell me."

He composed himself and said.

And so, on this chaotic Tide, Medici spoke softly. With a tone of longing tinged with detachment, He began to recount the legends of Primordial Era: "In the Age of Glory, among the King of Angel surrounding the Creator, there was an Angel of unique authority, whose power was often accompanied by the illusory sound of waves. His name was..."

"Sasrir."

In the basement of a house in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, Afternoon Town, Derrick, the "Sun," explores the area, looking at the inscriptions carved on the altar and struggling to make out a few words that are still legible.

He was cautious and didn't say it aloud, but silently read it in his mind, "Dark Angel," Sasrir;

Ouroboros, the "Angel of Fate";

"Red Angel", Medici...

Ouroboros? I know, he's the King of Angel worships Fallen Creator. Medici, the "Red Angel," is another King of Angel, but who is this "Dark Angel," Sasrir?

Derrick was both excited and terrified. He was about to look up and share his discovery with his teammates when he realized he was all alone!

"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era..."

Fortunately, he remained calm. After confirming that he was being influenced by the Altar's power, he immediately bowed his head and offered a prayer to the respected Mr. Fool.

Maritime.

Sasrir!

When he heard Medici say that name again, Luther was stunned, and then his heart was in turmoil!

This sea, comes from the King of Angel who serves that Creator? Why would something ruled by a King of Angel be bound to me? And what is my relationship with that Angel?

Moreover, it remains to be seen how much of what this eccentric "Red Angel" says is true and how much is false.

"That King of Angel is also known as the Dark Angel."

Medici only said two sentences before abruptly stopping.

"Why did you stop talking?"

"Is this all my payment is worth?" Luther asked.

"The knowledge that follows is not suitable for you to hear now."

Medici smiled and replied, "Of course, if you insist on knowing, I can tell you."

It's the same old rhetoric again: taboo knowledge is harmful...

Luther shook his head.

He decided not to argue with the other person anymore, and instead asked another question, "What is the King of Angel?"

"Those who surpass the ordinary Sequence 1 are the King of Angel. Some of them possess two Sequence 1 Characteristic, while others embody the Uniqueness of this Pathway..."

"That's what Medici said lazily."

Uniqueness?

Luther had heard the name "Card of Blasphemy" before, but he didn't know the specific description.

"You just touched it."
