Luther gazed at the female figure shrouded in Fog on the mural.

The information gathered earlier came together at this moment.

The Ancient God legends of City of Silver mention a Subordinate Deity known as the "Goddess of Misfortune," but without a specific name. It is only known that she is an appendage of the Ancient God "Annihilation Demonic Wolf" Flegrea.

In Groselle's Travels, the Elf Shatas from the Second Epoch said that the "Goddess of Misfortune" was actually named Amanises, and her whereabouts were unknown after the "Annihilation Demonic Wolf" was killed.

And now, here he saw that name again, only now Amanises's title had changed to "Evernight Goddess"...

All the clues connected, and Luther vaguely glimpsed the first half of this True God's life—

His true form was most likely a Demon Wolf. During the Second Epoch, he served as Subordinate Deity, subordinate to the Ancient God "Annihilation Demonic Wolf" Flegrea. After Fregra's fall, he gained authority and Uniqueness related to "Evernight" and ascended to the throne of Sequence 0.

In the Third Epoch, He led the "God of Spirits" on the right side of the long table, and together with the "Dark Angel" Sasrir, founded the Rose Redemption...

In a daze, Luther recalled the words of prayer spoken by the Afternoon Town:

"Almighty Lord, I repent, ███ tempted Sasrir, and the kings frequently conspired in the Palace belonging to Twilight..."

"... I discovered all of this, but it was too late. Degeneration, bloodshed, darkness, decay, slaughter, Filth, and shadows had already flowed and overwhelmed this land."

"A great Catastrophe will begin here!" The being who tempted "Left Hand of God," the Heavenly Deputy, Sasrir —his name cannot be heard. Upon closer examination, isn't it precisely because he encountered [Concealment]?

In other words, the Evernight Goddess secretly established the Rose Redemption with Sasrir. This organization ultimately led to the fall of the Ancient Sun God and Creator of the City of Silver, triggering the Great Cataclysm and plunging the continent into Catastrophe.

Luther's expression was solemn.

He even began to speculate that the various strange phenomena in the Forsaken Land of the Gods might be the residual divine power from the siege against the Sun God years ago.

After the ancient Creator perished, they abandoned this continent and went to another world, continuing to fight each other and continue to Acting the role of gods.

I really don't know what Klein is thinking right now.

Above the Tide, Luther murmured to himself, "He is still the chosen one of the Evernight Goddess."

This goddess, once the Goddess of Misfortune and now the Evernight Goddess, is indeed powerful, with remarkable methods and a decisive and ruthless style. Sure enough, her acceptance of the Uniqueness of the "Death's " Pathway is not so simple; she must have anticipated the God of God of Combat's reaction and prepared countermeasures.

Does he feel a chill run down his spine being chosen as a follower of such a ruthless Goddess...?

Besides the Evernight Goddess, the other figures depicted in the murals are also noteworthy. Leaving aside those who became True God and those who are clearly dead, the most important remaining one is the strongest of the King of Angel, the "Dark Angel," the "Left Hand of God," Heavenly Deputy Sasrir.

Where did He go after the war?

Was he killed by the Ancient Sun God? Or did he transform into an evil god... like that upside-down bastard, the True Creator?

While Luther pondered the matter, the people of City of Silver also discussed the mural. They naively believed that the great Catastrophe was caused by the kings' rebellion, leading to the Lord's abandonment of this land. Therefore, they thought that as long as they understood the truth of the matter and pleased the Creator again, they could make the Lord look upon this land once more.

[The Sun] Derrick listened to his companions' words, a hint of pity and sadness flashing in his eyes.

People who know nothing are truly blessed...

By the way, where's the chief?

He turned and looked around, finally spotting Colin Iliad. The somber old man gazed at the mural, his profile unusually grim and pale, muttering repeatedly:

"This can't be, it can't be..."

I've never seen the Your Excellency so distraught... Could it be that he deduced from the "Rose Redemption" incident that the Dao Lord has fallen...?

Derrick guessed Consciousness.

He didn't notice that Colin's gaze lingered more on the voluptuous and graceful figure, and he showed great shock at the latter's title and name.

The first update is available at suduɡu. cc, with no typos. If you don't see the ". cc" suffix in the address, you'll be taken to the first update site. A few minutes later, the exploration team finally calmed down.

"Get ready, let's continue our exploration."

Colin pulled the two straight swords he had stuck in the ground, his expression as calm as if he hadn't been the one who had just lost his composure. "Hope is within reach, but we must be more cautious now than ever. No need to rush. Even if we can't finish exploring today, we can come back a second time, a third time."

"Yes!"

Everyone's eyes were filled with enthusiasm, and they agreed in unison.

They searched the entire hall, trying to find anything else of value, but found nothing of great importance. After that, the City of Silver group regrouped and left the Palace through the exit at the back of the hall.

And so, the City of Silver exploration team sometimes entered the Palace, sometimes traversed the corridors, and sometimes leaped over the Tower, constantly delving deeper into the Royal City and advancing toward the most magnificent Tower.

Along the way, they constantly encountered dangers: strange scenes formed from remnants of divine power, powerful statues that would actively attack, evil spirits formed from the combination of lingering emotions and the power of Twilight, and deadly Concealment traps...

Nearly an hour later, the exploration team was very close to the tallest tower in the "Giant King’s Court".

The light is most intense around this Tower, as if the magnificent Twilight that envelops the entire Royal City originates from here.

"Beyond this hall lies the residence of the Giant King."

After confirming the location and direction, Colin Iliad said in a deep voice. A stir ran through the crowd, and even Elder Lovia's eyes showed excitement.

They walked through the hall, past the vibrant oil paintings depicting Giant enjoying sumptuous meals and playing music, and pushed open the door at the end, arriving at the side of the Giant King's residence.

As Colin slowly pushed open the door, orange-red light instantly flooded in. The magnificent, towering Palace gradually came into view.

"Whoosh..."

Above the Tide, Luther heard a strange sound of water.

The sound of the Tide beneath my feet?

No, it's from the Real World...

Luther looked down.

Through the mist, he saw the people of City of Silver cautiously emerge from the hall, completely bathing themselves in the Twilight.

Without prior arrangement, they all turned their gaze to the left.

There, there is a row of stone handrails, in front of which is a cliff, surrounded by orange-red clouds, and beyond the clouds is a vast expanse of surging, endless deep blue.

Ocean.
