The gathering

"The Whirlpool Incident..." Mocosidos continued, "God specially Gift me the privilege of staying in Trier, not doing anything else, and not revealing myself."

"Isn't it because you made a special contribution?" Lumian quickly pressed.

When he heard the word "Whirlpool," he thought he had found the key point, but to his surprise, Mocosidos ' answer was completely different from what he had expected.

This is even more suspicious!

"Because I am Devout," Mocosidos declared fervently. "Compared to the ' Society of the End of All Things,' we are the neglected part, doing less. God's special Gift upon me can only be because of my Devout..."

Before he could finish speaking, his remaining soul had already faded to the point where it could no longer sustain the Spiritism.

Lumian and Franca could only watch helplessly as he completely vanished.

Franca took out the "Certain-Hit Gun" and placed it where Yellowish Green spots gathered and floated to the surface.

Because this is an ordinary Mirror World, the return of the Gift Power was only partially affected and settled back down, while the majority of it broke away and disappeared.

As the power of the "Certain-Hit Gun" was replenished and more mutations occurred, Franca said to Lumian, "You received Gift equivalent to Sequence 3 without making any contribution?"

"I thought becoming an ' Witch of Unaging ' was easy enough, but I never imagined it would be even easier."

Lumian chuckled and said, "Didn't you notice this when you were in the Savoie Gang? Suddenly handing you a gun means they want you to do something dangerous, to be cannon fodder."

"Yes, there's no such thing as a free lunch, and the more free it seems, the more expensive it is." Franca understood Lumian's meaning. "The Disease Church That One Mocosidos and the others more Gift, instructing them to lie low in the Trier District so that they would do something crucial in the near future, something they had to do even if it meant their complete sacrifice?"

Lumian nodded:

"Unfortunately, the Disease Church is a fringe Sect. If we had captured Sequence 3 Saint from the ' Society of the End of All Things,' perhaps we would already know the problem."

This can be seen from the names of the first few Gift Sequence in the "Patient" Pathway —the followers of That One Great Ones are certainly naturally inclined to erode the upper and middle levels of Trier, gradually corrupting the entire system.

Disease and Plague are just two of the many Authority that That One possesses.

"Yes," Franca sighed, "No matter what, every nail that's pulled out is a nail that's been removed. For now, we don't have to worry about the Disease Church."

At this moment, her "Certain-Hit Gun" underwent a certain Change, expanding slightly and taking on a faint bluish-green hue.

Franca retrieved the Revolver using Spider Silk, achieving her final "result" through introspection:

The number of shots with either the "Certain Death" or "Certain Hit" effect has been restored to 13, and a new effect has been added that can Intimidation the enemy, Decay their resolve, and greatly affect their thinking and actions.

It doesn't have to hit the target to be effective; as long as you lock onto the target and fire, the opponent will be in a similar situation.

If a bullet with this effect actually hits the target, the target will inevitably Decay and die if a Stand ability is not used beforehand. However, this will not affect the Mirror that the "Witch of Unaging" had Concealment in advance and severed most of her Mysticism connections.

"It can't compare to the original left hand. It won't make the target feel like they're facing Divine Descent, completely unable to move or even think. It can only be used in the blink of an eye, catching the enemy off guard..." Franca casually explained.

She quickly named this effect "God's Gaze," which can only be triggered once.

Franca immediately sighed, "It's a pity we were in such a hurry that we didn't bring Anthony's ' Winter Is Coming,' otherwise his weapon could have been replenished."

Franca and Lumian originally thought that Dalbero's superior was at most a "Inevitable Dead" Sequence 4. Although they had made a contingency plan to encounter Sequence 3 Saint, that was not the main direction after all, and the execution was inevitably somewhat hasty. Many preparations that should have been made were not made, and they could only rely on the "Witch of Unaging's " strange and difficult-to-kill characteristics to force their way through and block their target.

"There's still a chance," Lumian said with a slight smile.

He was referring to the Sequence 4 Half-God currently under the control of Mr. The Fool.

Of course, this is on the premise that Mr. The Fool does not intend to use that Marionette for anything.

Franca hummed in agreement, then said, "The party time is set for Saturday night at 10 PM. You've received the news, haven't you?"

"Received." Lumian nodded.

Saturday night at 10 PM, inside the Ancient Dilapidated Palace of the Night Kingdom.

Lumian's figure appeared quickly.

He dressed as Warlock once again, wearing a Silver-White half-face mask.

After waiting another five minutes, Franca, still dressed in her Assassin's outfit and wielding the Sleeve Sword, walked to the giant stone chair, cleared her throat, and said, "Gentlemen, I have something to announce."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it came through the Mirror Object and Library carried by many members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society," making it clear to everyone.

"That was a brilliant move, the ' Sleeve Sword '!" someone exclaimed immediately.

--The things "Sleeve Sword" did and the image she had established made people not respect and revere her as they did "Hella" Lady "Gandalf," but rather treat her as a close, albeit mischievous, friend.

Franca curled the corners of her lips into a smile:

"You're right, the first thing I want to announce is..."

Lady and gentlemen, I've become Half-God!

As the many members of the Society stared in disbelief, about to express their emotions with profanity, Franca's long Linen-Colored hair, which had been extending from under her Hood, rose to the surface, becoming slightly darker and thicker.

This startled most of the members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society," who instinctively lowered their heads, feeling as if wisps of electricity were running through their bodies.

This wasn't a display of an incomplete Mythical Creature Form, nor would Franca dare to; she merely subtly revealed her Divinity aura to enhance the persuasiveness of her words.

The entire Ancient Palace suddenly fell silent.

After a moment, everyone came to their senses and instinctively wanted to express their opinions and use different tone pronouns, but then they instantly remembered "Sleeve Sword's " performance and shut their mouths again.

That was the aura of Divinity.

The "Sleeve Sword" is already Half-God.

Franca deliberately showed off to enhance the persuasiveness of her subsequent words, and seeing this, she seized the opportunity to say, "We're still brothers and sisters, don't be so reserved."

"After all these years, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"If you guys don't swear a bit, don't marvel at how powerful the ' Sleeve Sword ' is all the rage, and don't express your shock and admiration, then what's the point of me showing off?"

Yes, yes, yes, the aura of "Sleeve Sword" is back! The members of the Society immediately relaxed a lot, and like those in the Telegram group, they each expressed their astonishment and admiration.

Franca immediately felt happy.

She had to admit that a small part of her deliberate showing off was for the sake of showing off itself.

Once the discussion had subsided, Franca said in a low voice, "The second thing I want to announce is that I have received intelligence that the cults on the Southern and Northern Continent and the Five Seas will be up to something big in the next year or two, which could bring about Apocalypse scene."

"If you have the opportunity to advance in Sequence, do so. If not, it's okay. Just enjoy life and when the time comes, hide away in places like Bishop's Cathedral in big cities."

"As long as the True God can hold on, things won't be too Despair. If they can't hold on, everyone should preserve their lives and decide what to do based on the specific situation. Personally, I think there will inevitably be Calamity, but it's possible to get through Past."

The members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" looked at each other, both confused and puzzled.

If "Hidden Blade" hadn't become a demigod witch, they might have thought the other was joking or playing a prank.

How could the Apocalypse have come so suddenly?

Was there no sign, no Prophecy?

Everyone turned their attention to Hella and Gandalf. Compared to the newly Half-God Sleeve Sword, these two were more authoritative and Trust.

Hella walked to Franca's side, looked around, and said, "The members in Trier should try to leave within six months. This city will be one of the key points where the problem will erupt."

Even if you really like life in Trier, go back there after things Past.

This indirectly endorsed Franca's words.

The members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" were immediately in an uproar, asking all at once, "What on earth is going to happen?"

Which places are relatively safe?

Will living in a remote rural area affect people?

"..."

Franca pressed down with one Subordinate, signaling everyone to calm down:

I don't know the specifics.

"Just consider it Prophecy made by Prophet; there might be more than one interpretation."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, she and "Hella" descended the steps.

Gandalf arrived at the spot where they had just stood, showing neither surprise nor astonishment at the Apocalypse.

The president of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" looked at everyone and said, "Let me add one more point:"

"Try to hide in big cities, but not in the capitals of any country."

The successive confirmations made the atmosphere at the gathering heavy, but not to the point of solidification or Despair.

The "Academy" group gathering place is also in this state.

The "Professor," wearing a butterfly scarf, looked at Lumian and said, "' Muggle,' you're quite familiar with ' Sleeve Sword,' have you heard any more details?"

"No," Lumian added. "All I know is that the Church the Eternal Blazing Sun has devoted nearly half of its power to Trier."

After the "Periodic Table," "Isotope," "Associate Professor," and others had discussed it for a while, Lumian said thoughtfully, "I have something to remind you of. After becoming a ' Warlock,' I was instilled with a lot of knowledge by the ' Hidden Sage,' some of which is about summoning special creatures from the Spirit World."

"This was a significant problem, and it took me a long time to solve it, so I have some experience to share."

"Have you been taught about this? What about fragile Orb with interconnected minds?"
