Backlund Really Was No Place for Children to Grow Up
Will Snake of Mercury, slowly stopped crying.
"The fact that the two of you have come to see me at the same time means there must be no good news."
He wiped away his tears with his fist, behaving childishly, but his words were remarkably firm.
Klein and Luther exchanged a glance.
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke:
"It seems like Amon has appeared at my neighbor's house."
Amon, one of the eight King of Angel, the God of Mischief, the Second Son of the Creator, and the Angel of Time.
The room was deathly quiet.
"..."
Will's eyes widened, then his mouth trembled slightly, as if he was about to cry again.
"Wait, what's coming isn't His true form, it's at most a Sequence 3!"
Klein quickly said. Only then did Will manage to stop crying.
"Damn Backlund, it's absolutely unsuitable for infant development!" He complained with extreme dissatisfaction. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Klein then began to explain the situation.
Next door to the wealthy Dwayne Dantès lived the Councilman Macht family, his neighbors. Their daughter Hazel, was a secret extraordinary being, and Klein's investigation revealed she seemed to have been taken as a disciple by a wounded Demigod as the "Marauder"...
"You call him a disciple, but isn't he really just a backup body?"
Luther sneered from the side.
Given the parasitic Characteristic of this Pathway, this Demigod seems to have ill intentions.
He recalled an event from long ago, when he was at Sequence 5, he had teamed up with "Wraith" Sharron and others to explore the Mausoleum Amon. At that time, Demigod known as the "Marauder" possessed a member of the team and launched a sneak attack. Fortunately, another powerful Beyonder...
Come to think of it, that Old Man back then could very well have been Pallez!
So, does that mean this injured Demigod is the same guy who was injured and ran away back then?
That Demigod is not important.
Klein shook his head and said, "I warned it before and told it to behave... but I didn't expect that recently, it was on the verge of losing control and then it was devoured by Amon..." Because of the Spirituality warning, he sensed the abnormality. So he used the power of the Gray Fog to see the scene at that time through a series of illusions (of course, when Klein said this, he still did not say that he could use the Gray Fog, but only said that he "borrowed the power of Mr. Fool").
He saw a young man with Monocle, black hair, a broad forehead, and a cheerful and energetic demeanor easily control the "Marauder" Demigod, completely stealing his Fate and status.
Amon.
His appearance is exactly the same as the Portrait that Luther once shared.
If Klein hadn't escaped quickly enough, Amon probably would have caught him and taken him into custody long ago.
"... He has already discovered me, but I don't know when he will pinpoint my location and come knocking on my door."
After explaining the situation, Klein concluded.
He had gone to the Southern Continent to avoid Amon. But he didn't expect that the other party would appear beside him as soon as he returned. The only good news was that the guy was currently staying at Councilman Macht's house and seemed to be getting used to the environment. He hadn't found him or appeared in front of him immediately.
Even so, the psychological pressure brought by such a terrible threat lingering around is still extremely frightening.
It was only a matter of time before Amon discovered him.
Will sucked on his thumb, tilted his head, and thought for a moment.
"What do you plan to do?" "If possible, I'd like to get rid of him."
"You've got some nerve... But I have to warn you, Amon is incredibly difficult to deal with. By the time you discover one Amon, he's already created countless Amon —the insects in the air around you, your servants, your friends, your family..."
Will sized up the two men, seemingly assessing their chances of winning. Judging from his shaking head and sighing, their odds didn't seem high.
"There's no need to worry about that. As long as we can defeat one Amon, we'll have a way to wipe out all the Amon in Backlund."
Klein explained.
Will paused in his finger-sucking motion, then laughed.
"Oh, I see. So that old Pallez is also in Backlund..."
He had already guessed Klein's reliance.
Given Klein's cautious nature, he naturally consulted professionals first and only implemented the plan after receiving reliable advice. Pallez was also driven to desperation; if he didn't eliminate Amon from this area sooner or later, he would inevitably be affected as well.
"With Pallez hiding behind us, this operation is relatively reliable."
Will nodded.
Two partially crippled Sequence 1, one Sequence 3, and one Sequence 4 should theoretically be sufficient to deal with Amon's Avatar, which are at most only Sequence 3. Even if this "Angel of Time" is cunning by nature, under the suppression of absolute power, His tricks would be ineffective. "Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a captivating silvery-white light flashed in the eyes of the Chairman of the "Life School of Thought." Upon closer inspection, the light resembled a loop that connected end to end, repeating and cycling continuously, influencing the trajectory of Fate in the void.
"This is a Prophecy."
Will's voice turned indifferent and then rose sharply, "Your Fate will be shaken this Tuesday..."
The Pathway "Fate" itself can also be used for Divination.
"Wow, that's quite convenient."
Luther raised his eyebrows and said, "So, Amon will show up on Tuesday?"
It's not that simple!
Will said irritably, "You should know that Sequence 2 of the Marauder 'Pathway is called the' Trojan Horse of Destiny '! Amon was able to break free from the influence of Fate, so this Prophecy can only be taken as a reference!"
He waved his plump arms, shooing away the two visitors in front of him.
"Alright, I've agreed to your request. Now please leave quickly! I still need to develop and need to get enough sleep!!"
The two of them, of course, wouldn't interfere with a baby's sleep; that would be too cruel. After Klein promised to provide them with high-end ice cream and future assistance, they left Doctor Aaron's house. Please remember the only official website for this novel: www. deqixs. org.

The afternoon Sun was lovely, casting a warm, golden glow on the street.
There weren't many pedestrians in this upscale neighborhood, and everyone's expression was relaxed.
Despite the raging war and the stalemate on the front lines, Backlund, as the capital, managed to maintain a degree of calm. Especially after the completion of the anti-aircraft defenses, it became increasingly difficult for Feysac's Airship to penetrate deep into the heart of the country, giving people the Illusion that they were far removed from the war.
What exactly are your plans?
Luther wasn't in the mood to appreciate the street scenes of Backlund; he simply turned to Klein and asked.
"Pallez means for me to stand in the open and fight that Second Son... Only if I can defeat him will the Old Man be willing to make a move and take the opportunity to eliminate all the Avatar in Backlund."
Klein said.
I see, no wonder you called me here.
Luther thought to himself.
