Book of Post-Apocalypse

Hearing Mr. The Fool's words, Lady. Justice suddenly felt a little happy.

She felt that Mr. The Fool was in a slightly better state.

Upon hearing this, the "Magician" Lady said no more, simply nodding and replying, "As you wish."

If she were truly allowed to choose her Spoils of War, she would choose the "Solomon's Mask." The power of this level 0 Sealed Artifact would be a great supplement and enhancement to both her and "Judgement." Moreover, it could serve as Pathway for "Judgement" to become an Angel's option in the future.

As for the Potion Formula for "Duke of Entropy," Sequence 2 of the "Black Emperor" Pathway, Mr. The Fool has it—he possesses the "Black Emperor" card from the Blasphemy Cards.

"The chaos of these past few years, the spread of the belief in Evil God, and the frequent occurrence of various events have allowed Hugh, as the ' Hunter of Chaos,' to digest the Potion very quickly. It's almost finished, and it's time to consider and prepare for his ascension to Angel... Hehe, it seems that those High-Ranking Being reached the ' Black Emperor ' Pathway exhibit signs of physical enlargement. Nast is like that, so it would be very suitable for Hugh to switch over Past..." The thoughts of the "Magician" Lady gradually drifted away.

Mr. The Fool turned to look at the Hanged Man:

What's your choice?

"Dear Mr. The Fool, I desire a Level 1 Sealed Artifact formed from the Beyonder Characteristic of the Mysticism Scholar." The Hanged Man had already decided on his choice when Mr. The Fool presented the Spoils of War.

His abilities and the "Hunter" Pathway Sealed Artifact he obtained from the "Blue Avenger" vault are both overly aggressive and lack the ability to achieve his goals stealthily.

"Alright, ' Mellm's Grimoire ' is yours." The Fool turned his gaze to Justice.

Although "Justice" did not directly participate in the operation, she wove the phone from the Dream for Lumian and was always ready to provide mental and spiritual treatment to those involved in the hunt.

In addition, she has made a great contribution to awakening Mr. The Fool in the Dream City, and so far she has only received inspiration related to the ancient dragon.

"Justice" smiled and said, "' The Fool ' Lady., I need a Level 1 Sealed Artifact formed from the ' Marionettist ' Beyonder Characteristic; I happen to owe someone else one."

"The Fool" nodded slightly and said to Sharon, the "Temperance" lady, "Protecting New Silver City and the Roseside Islands is also a contribution. You, on behalf of the 'Temperance Faction,' will receive a share of the spoils."

Sharon, the "Temperance" lady, wearing a small black soft hat, displays the paper she has materialized.

The inscription reads, "A Level 1 Sealed Artifact formed from the Beyonder Characteristic of a ' Mysticism Scholar '."

Just as I thought... "Chariot," Lumian muttered to himself.

This is based on two reasons:

First, as a representative of the "Temperance Faction," they would certainly believe that their own power has made very little contribution and should not choose Sealed Artifact formed by Sequence 3 Beyonder Characteristic. Second, among the "Mysticism Scholar" and "Alchemist," Beyonder using the "Prisoner" Pathway would most likely choose the former.

Lumian has worked with Sharon, the "Temperance" lady, and Marich, the "Sword Knight," and knows their fighting styles. The "Alchemist," on the "Generalist" path, is known for creating magical items and crafting dolls, which doesn't quite fit with the "Wraiths."

This isn't to say that their abilities don't match; in fact, they're a perfect match. It's just that their art styles don't quite align. Lumian can't imagine the scene where "Temperance" Sharon possesses a giant robot, picks up various postmodern weapons, and smashes enemies with a series of rapid-fire blows.

"Alright, the ' Eye of All Laws ' will belong to the ' Temperance Faction '." Mr. The Fool nodded gently.

The last person to make a choice was Mr. "Stars" Leonard.

He said, lost in thought, "' Alchemist '."

"I want to build a piano that can play by itself..."

"What kind of Wish is this?" asked Mr. "Stars" or "Artsy Youth"? "Chariot" Lumian was somewhat puzzled.

After a few seconds, Mr. The Fool said, "Fine, the ' Creator's Hammer ' is yours."

Seeing that the Major Arcana involved in the hunt had all chosen their Spoils of War, Lumian asked on Jenna's behalf, "' The Fool,' how should the Low-Sequence Beyonder Characteristic and Mystical Item obtained from the ' Seven of Cups ' be distributed?"

The voice of the "The Fool," shrouded in Gray Fog, returned to its previous state:

"The Beyonder Characteristic of the ' Mysticism Scholar ' formed after Ohaiz's death, along with related materials, were given to the three Warlock who ventured into the Depths the Sea of Fog. After being crushed and reassembled, this was just enough to help each of them advance one Sequence."

This decision had been made before the impromptu gathering— the Beyonder Characteristic "Mysticism Scholar" qualities formed by Ohaiz's death were not on the shortlist for selection.

The "Professor" is now the "Astrologer" of Sequence 5, while the "Periodic Table" and "Prototype" are the "Scroll Professor" of Sequence 6.

Mr. The Fool continued, "' The Seven of Cups ' divided the Low-Sequence Beyonder Characteristic and Mystical Item into three parts: one she kept for herself, one for ' The Two of Cups ', and one for the Church."

"If they wish, they can exchange one of the two they keep for a Level 1 Sealed Artifact."

"Yes, Mr. ' The Fool '." "Chariot" Lumian thought the allocation was excellent and had no objections.

This addresses both Jenna's lack of items of the same Sequence and provides the three Witch with room to spread their faith and develop their Subordinate.

Mr. Fool then said to Ms. Temperance, Sharon, "The remaining items shall be given to the church for safekeeping and use."

The Church mentioned in those words refers to the Church of the Fool.

"Yes, Mr. 'Fool'." Ms. Sharon, the "Temperance" lady, held up another sheet of paper with writing on it.

After she finished responding, beams of light flew out from the Grayish-White Fog behind Mr. The Fool and landed in front of each Major Arcana.

The "Magician" Lady wore an extremely asymmetrical black and gold mask that was both unsettling to look at and possessed a strange, dignified air.

The "Hermit" Lady's diamond is the size of a fist, shimmering with a divine and wise light; each facet of the diamond seems to reflect an indifferent and ruthless eye.

The "Justice" Lady's object was covered in gray wrinkles, resembling both a brain and a heart;

The book titled "Mr. The Hanged Man" is a thin book made of Human Skin, with a cover adorned with numerous mysterious patterns and symbols;

The "Temperance" Lady's gemstone is transparent, pure, and each facet sparkles with a different brilliance;

Mr. "Stars" possesses a complex, seemingly multifunctional, Gray-White- white metal hand hammer that exudes mechanical beauty.

Besides the "Weather Warlock" Potion Formula in his mind and the Beyonder Characteristic and related materials of the "Mysticism Scholar" Ohaiz in front of him, "Chariot" Lumian also obtained a yellowish-brown, slightly ancient book.

The book is printed on a stiff, thick Sheepskin. There are no symbols or words on the surface, only a little bit of Mercury-Colored sheen that flickers beneath the Paper's texture, sometimes emerging and sometimes receding.

At the same time, information related to the "Book of Post-Apocalypse" abruptly surfaced in Lumian's mind in a form different from the official Sealed Artifact:

"0: It may be an item formed from the Loss of Control death of a ' Prophet ' Prophecy a certain Future through the ' Destiny ' Pathway, or it may come from an even more ancient era."

"1: The shape is that of an old book made of Sheepskin, with Mercury-Colored spots and a rough texture."

"2: This book contains no words, but it will randomly display some Prophecy. Some of these Prophecy are true, and some are false. If you believe the false Prophecy and prepare to avoid or welcome them, then they will become true."

"You can use your mind to write in this book about how certain people and events will have different outcomes due to misfortune and good fortune. These outcomes have a high probability of coming true, and even if the final result does not conform to the Prophecy, it will be close to it."

"If the situation is chaotic, with many choices and only a few paths leading to a good outcome, then you can open this book. It will offer a revelation that, if interpreted correctly, will guide the inquirer to the best possible end; otherwise, it will be very dangerous."

"3: Those Divinity who possess this book will immediately be plagued by misfortune, dying tragically in a very short time or turning into Monster manipulated by this book;

"A person with Divinity who possesses this book will suffer misfortune for one hour after using it. The degree of misfortune will be determined randomly, but it will not lead to death in a short period of time."

"This book will randomly select some living beings within a 30-kilometer radius and bestow misfortune upon them;"

"This book will intermittently reveal various Prophecy related to the holder, most of which are bad. Some are true, some are false. If you believe the false ones and do something because of them, the false ones will become true."

"4: The method of sealing is to create a space with no living beings and a radius of at least 30 kilometers, place this book in the very center, and press a twenty-sided die on its surface."

Knowing that the information about the "Book of Post-Apocalypse" came from Mr. The Fool Lumian felt reassured and began to consider how to utilize this Level 0 Sealed Artifact:

"The misfortune that follows can be averted through Fortune-Transfer Ritual or by exchanging Fragment of Destiny, 'gifting' the transferred bad luck to the Lucky Pirate..."

"Just ignore intermittent Prophecy, whether they're true or false. We didn't have any Prophecy abilities before, and we still survived, didn't we? The ' Hunter ' and the ' Witch ' should trust their own intellect and abilities more..."

"The problem of widespread, random misfortune requires the help of Mr. ' The Fool ' or Lady. ' Magician.' Well, either we need to deceive the ' Book of Post-Apocalypse ' into believing there are no living beings within a 30-kilometer radius, or we need to expand the ' Traveler's Bag ' to the size of a city. But then, the materials used to make the ' Traveler's Bag ' would have to be very special and high-grade..."

As Lumian pondered, the pages of the "Book of Post-Apocalypse" suddenly began to turn.

With a rustling sound, the book stopped at one of its pages, and a line of Mercury-Colored text quickly appeared on it:

"In the year 1368, at the end of July, Crimson will descend from the sky."

Immediately afterwards, the numbers at the very front Change, and the Mercury began to wriggle and form new shapes:

"In the year 1360, at the end of July, Crimson will descend from the sky."

This... Lumian's gaze sharpened.

It is now spring of 1359!
