An unexpected "helper"
The Gray Fog that shrouded Fourth Epoch Trier had spread slightly into the Wilderness, seemingly intercepting and hindering something.
The powerful figures like Snarner and Dist, caught in the Hurricane, all felt the terrifying aura of superiority and instinctively wanted to bow their heads in submission. It was as if the "Blood Emperor" Alista Tudor, who had fallen Depths of Fourth Epoch Trier, had come back to life, but not as crazy or violent. Instead, he carried a sense of danger and impending Calamity.
As they fought back their urge to submit and retreated, the figure in blood-stained black armor came into view, along with a young man with long red hair and a bright red bloodstain between his brows.
They tensed up, and a name simultaneously flashed through their minds:
"Medici!"
"Red Angel" Medici!
This is a king from ancient times, who was already the Angel King as early as the Fourth Epoch, or even the Third Age that was destroyed by Calamity.
The Angel King is Archangel beyond Sequence 1, but not yet a True God of Sequence 0. They have either consumed multiple doses of Sequence 1 Potion or possessed the key elements to become Deity, but they lack other things and cannot take the crucial step.
The "Red Angel" was one of the eight Angel King who once followed the "Ancient Sun God." He died at the hands of Alista Tudor in the Fourth Epoch Age, making the latter the "Blood Emperor."
But this Angel King did not die completely; He transformed into Evil Spirit in some Concealment place and survived. Several years ago, He suddenly reappeared and became active again.
As Angel of the "Hunter" Pathway, Snarner and Dist were very concerned about this matter, suspecting that Medici might have acquired the "Conqueror" Beyonder Characteristic and become Sequence 1 Archangel once again.
When planning for the Beyonder Characteristic "Conqueror" trait of Vermonda Soren, Snarner and Dist were wary of the ancient king's involvement. After Albus Medici revealed his name, they became even more vigilant, constantly monitoring him. Only when the operation was forced to be brought forward, and the "Red Angel" showed no sign of entering the seal, and Albus Medici did not do anything unusual, did they finally feel relieved.
But at this crucial moment, "Red Angel" Medici appeared!
With a terrifying aura of conquering all, He flew majestically from the Depths of Fourth Epoch Trier, seized the opportunity precisely, and struck Vermonda Soren, severely wounding him in one blow.
Medici glanced contemptuously at Snarner and Dist, then tossed the things in his hands toward the Calamity Giant Vermonda Soren, who was struggling to his feet.
It was a bloodstained umbilical cord.
The umbilical cord Burning flames the moment it was thrown out, emitting Golden light that resembled a Miniature Sun.
Above Trier, the "Sun," surrounded by Hurricane, Lightning, and Torrential Rain, suddenly emitted a blinding light, tearing a gap in the Calamity scene.
A chubby baby, seemingly made of pure Sunlight, flew out of the crack and transformed into a golden Sun, plummeting straight towards the Red Swan Castle in the Erato District.
The Burning Sun ripped across the sky, melting the Ancient Castle's spires, walls, and floors, plunging Depths into the Underground Labyrinth and into the bronze Coffin.
Wherever it passed, all darkness receded, and withered hearts turned to ashes. Alois Einhorn, waiting outside the Underground Palace, instinctively closed her eyes, her body trembling uncontrollably.
The "The Hanged Man" high in the sky did not chase the Sun that was beginning to self-destruct. Instead, it remained above the Storm, gazing at the massive wound left on Red Swan Castle, lost in thought.
Danitz, who was leading his team in the Erato District fighting against the Mutation soldiers and the Monster- like Carbonari army, was blinded by the glaring Sunlight and couldn't help but curse out loud.
Those around him and those who were different from him also had similar reactions.
Within the outer seal of Fourth Epoch Trier, the invisible Flames that Burning silently high in the sky suddenly formed a huge Whirlpool, which turned golden.
The Sun fell from the Whirlpool, illuminating the entire Wilderness and the whole of Fourth Epoch Trier as if it were daytime.
It caught up with the Burning umbilical cord, engulfing the already severely wounded Archangel, Vermonda Soren.
As Sunlight burst forth, darkness vanished completely. The Calamity Giant, a product of the "Conqueror's " Loss of Control actions, screamed in agony and rapidly dissolved, undergoing an extreme purification.
The infant who transformed into the Sun is no more; only the remaining power Burning fiercely, radiating light and warmth.
Snarner, Dist, and other powerful figures turned their bodies to the side, becoming as hard as steel to withstand the Impact of the Sunlight.
The illuminated Fourth Epoch Trier.
During their fierce battle, Vazan Sanson and Madame Pualis simultaneously closed their eyes, seemingly unaccustomed to the direct Sunlight.
When their vision returned, they could no longer see each other and found themselves in different places: one in Square with Stone Pillars, and the other standing on a collapsed Black Building.
"This..." The two Gifted who had come into contact with Divinity power were taken aback at first, but then they realized that this was because Trier in the Fourth Epoch was stimulated by the golden Sunlight, which caused certain Change, including changes in direction and spatial chaos.
Gardner Martin, clad in full Silver-White Full-Body Armor, could already see the thick, wall-like Grayish-White Fog, and a surge of joy welled up within him.
What he craved, what he wanted to obtain, was all there.
Suddenly, Sunlight shone down, illuminating the environment that was about to fall into Evernight.
Gardner Martin instinctively closed his eyes and slowed his pace.
He immediately heard a clicking sound.
That came from his neck.
Gardner Martin looked down in surprise, his gaze adjusting to the Sunlight as he looked down.
With a sharp and strange pain, he saw the distance between his head and chest growing wider and wider, and saw blood gushing from the severed neck, staining the area red.
He also saw his own white, bloody Spine.
How could this be...? This thought flashed through Gardner Martin with a mixture of shock and fear.
He always believed that he was the favored one, the special one, so under the watchful eye of the great will Depths of Fourth Epoch Trier, even after entering the building at No. 13 Market Avenue, he only suffered slight Corruption and could utilize a small amount of some power within Fourth Epoch Trier, instead of turning into a terrifying Monster like Olsen, whose head and body were separated.
But now, his head, dragging his Spine, has left his body, at the very moment he comes closest to that great will!
With Brown Wings and bird-like claws, "Lady Moon" fell to the ground, accompanied by flowing silver lightning.
She first went completely insane, turning into a frozen Monster, from the "Plague Storm" that came from the "Spectator" Pathway, and then encountered nine attacks from nine directions launched by the "Magician".
As the Sunlight shone down, the "Magician" instinctively closed his eyes. With a sweeping motion of his right hand, he caused the void to warp, transforming it into a closed, Gloom Orb. This sphere protected himself, "Justice," and the rapidly dying "Lady Moon" within, allowing them to withstand the subsequent Mutation as a unified whole.
Inside the Orb woven from thick, black hair, Jenna, Franca, and Anthony felt as if a violent Storm was raging outside, with all sorts of Calamity, causing the ground to tremble and the Orb to sway from side to side.
After a slow passage of time measured in seconds, the snake-like black hair that formed the Gloom Orb split open rapidly, and a ray of Sunlight shone through the top.
In this Sunlight, Jenna and Franca seemed to hear a phantom Women voice:
"Reconciling with Self in the Mirror..."
With that sound, the slender, snake-like black hair completely disintegrated, no longer forming Orb, and disappeared back into the void.
Franca and the others saw as if a layer of dark glass had appeared around them, silently shattering and falling in pieces under the Sunlight.
The lights and figures that had appeared in the surrounding buildings vanished, and the place returned to the deathly silence that had greeted Jenna and the others when they first entered the ruins.
After Anthony adjusted to the Sunlight, he immediately looked at Lumian and noticed that the prominent veins on his companion's face had faded, and his Distortion expression was gradually relaxing.
"Are you alright?" Anthony asked while using the "Soothing" skill.
After hearing those roars, Lumian's mind was completely occupied by the sighs of the man in the Gloom room. The feeling of being overwhelmed by too much knowledge, which was also Corruption, was gone, and her head was about to burst, and she was about to lose her Rationality.
He quickly returned to normal, no longer hearing the sighs or seeing the strangely dressed, withered man.
"We made Past," Lumian answered Anthony's question.
At the same time, he muttered to himself, "Is that the ' Celestial Master ' that the Armored Wraith mentioned?"
"Using the ' Eye of Truth ' here is even more dangerous than outside."
Franca picked up the "Torture" gauntlets and other items as she approached, throwing out the "Bloodsucker’s Arrow":
What happened to you just now?
"The aftereffects of using the ' Eye of Truth '." Lumian took the "Bloodsucker’s Arrow," plunged it into his chest, and looked around. "Let's quickly take all our belongings and move somewhere else."
He used the "Torture" gloves in the hope of attracting the attention of the danger when there was no other way, creating chaos to find an opportunity. But now that Gardner in the Mirror has been dealt with, if they don't move, they will face new dangers!
Jenna didn't have time to think about what "reconciling with her Self in the Mirror" meant. She put the "Bone Flute" and "Wooden Box" back into the half of the blood-stained Cloak, and followed Lumian, Franca, and Anthony, bypassing the black pillar and running wildly in a random direction.
In the blazing Sunlight, the Purple Flames that served as the flesh and blood of Vermonda Soren died out one by one, and the Distortion faces representing different members of the Sauron Family disappeared one by one.
The "Red Angel" suddenly grew to enormous size, resembling a small Mountain Peak.
He wielded a giant sword formed from Purple Flames, took a step forward, and slashed at the dying Vermonda Soren.
Having recovered, the powerful figures like Snarner and Dist naturally wouldn't give up and took steps to stop them.
