What followed went exactly as Kronos had imagined.

When Kronos guided the Big Dipper, he actually went to great lengths and spent a considerable amount of time on it.

When Pisces arrived, everything fell into place naturally; Kronos went to guide them, and Pisces followed.

But this Lion Constellation seemed to have squeezed in on its own initiative; as soon as Kronos made the slightest move, everything fell into place naturally.

Watching the Star Sand slowly transform into the shape of Lion, Kronos knew the guidance had been successful; all that remained was to wait patiently.

Before long, a majestic male lion appeared before Kronos.

Once the male lion has reached adulthood, it roars to the sky, as if venting its anger.

The powerful sound waves nearly overturned Kronos, and even the spot on the sea where the lion stood was shaken open, creating a large crater.

Pisces may only have supporting skills, but Lion Constellation looks like someone you shouldn't mess with.

Kronos was overjoyed; besides the Big Dipper Sword, he finally had another attack power derived from the Astrology.

Kronos manipulated the Lion to do many things and ultimately concluded that the Lion's fighting ability seemed to be average.

In terms of strength, it's roughly equivalent to the Evil-Patterned Black Panther that Kronos once faced.

However, it does have one special move: the Lion's Roar.

On the open sea, there are few good landmarks to be found, but according to Kronos's rough estimate, this roar should be able to dazed a Sequence 5 for at least a few seconds.

Although its attack power is average, it's a powerful control skill, so Kronos is quite satisfied.

After studying the abilities of the physical Lion, Kronos prepared to try and transfer the power of Lion Constellation to his own body.

After dispelling the physical Lion, Kronos communicated with Lion Constellation once more, drawing upon its power, only this time directly onto its body.

Kronos clearly felt a swelling in his body, a squeezing sensation in his muscles, skin, and bones.

Although he had this feeling, it was entirely within Kronos's control.

After the power of Lion Constellation entered his body, Kronos could feel the amplification it brought him.

Unlike the power of Pisces, Lion Constellation also brings him a boost to his physical fitness, which is why he feels bloated.

But after a moment's thought, Kronos knew that this wasn't Lion Constellation's most powerful amplification.

The Lion Constellation brought Kronos an emotion—the power of anger.

While this anger won't further boost Kronos's physical attributes, it will grant Kronos a "Berserker" buff.

Once Kronos activates this buff, he can fight tirelessly in peak condition.

During the battle, no matter what happens, even if it results in a fracture or disability, it will not affect Kronos's fighting spirit.

Having understood the abilities that Lion Constellation granted him, Kronos could then understand why the Lion he had encountered earlier, despite its imposing presence, seemed to lack some strength.

When there is no battle, this power of anger cannot demonstrate its greatest value.

Furthermore, Kronos had some speculations.

He had found the afterimage of Lion Constellation a long time ago, but he had never been able to actually complete it.

Instead, it was after one of their own outbursts of anger that Lion Constellation came knocking on their door.

Therefore, the essence of Lion Constellation might be the power of anger, and it is their own anger that attracts it.

Is this a way to attract Constellation?

Once we identify their corresponding emotions, can we find a shortcut to communicating with them?

Kronos had this personality trait: once he discovered something, he wanted to study it thoroughly.

Forgetting all about continuing to study the power of Lion Constellation, Kronos directly released the power of the Astrology and began to study the remnants of the Constellation he had initially found.

In his previous life, Kronos had some knowledge of Constellation, but it didn't quite match the current situation, because in his impression, Lion Constellation wasn't the most short-tempered sign.

Therefore, this superficial knowledge is completely insufficient as a reference.

Looking at the Constellation diagrams he had Record, Kronos was at a loss for what to do.

If knowledge from past lives is of no use here, then one can only rely on guessing and experimenting on one's own.

But emotions can be faked outwardly; how can you fake them in their essence?

If he hadn't been trapped in such an awkward situation, and if the study of Constellation hadn't come to a complete standstill, how could Kronos have accumulated such deep frustration and anger?

How could Kronos be sure his guess was correct if he couldn't accumulate genuine emotions?

But there was no other way; Kronos had no other ideas and could only keep trying this.

Two more weeks passed, and Kronos's research into the relationship between these emotions and the Constellation remained unsuccessful.

However, he has become more and more accustomed to the environment at sea, and he no longer experiences any negative emotions.

But one night, while Kronos was intently observing the Astrology, his Starship Starship something with such force that it nearly capsized.

Kronos was startled, but upon seeing it, he was overjoyed.

In a moment of impulsiveness, I got myself into this situation—wasn't that what I was after?

The Ghost Empire appeared before Kronos.

Kronos looked at the bow of the Ghost Empire Ghost Empire's ship, where the familiar Skeleton General still stood.

Kronos waved excitedly at the general, not knowing his name, and shouted, "General, I want to board the ship!"

The Skeleton General seemed to be drawn by Kronos's voice, so he looked at Kronos.

After watching for a while, a guiding passage appeared before Kronos.

Knowing that the Ghost Empire was constantly moving, Kronos did not hesitate to find a spot on the Above the Ghost Empire Ghost Empire, attach his ship to it, and then stepped into the passage.

The next moment, Kronos appeared beside the Skeleton General.

Kronos could clearly see a Symbol flashing in the eye sockets of the Skeleton General, which had no eyeballs.

Kronos had wanted to examine the Symbol closely, but the Eyes of Mystery Prying caused trouble.

The Eyes of Mystery Prying unleashed its power as he gazed at the Symbol.

Kronos clearly saw a figure appear behind the Symbol. This person was in his early twenties, with brass-colored hair, golden eyes, and a handsome appearance, but with the air of a bookworm.

The man smiled at Kronos, then slowly uttered a single word. "Thank you."

Just then, Kronos snapped back to his senses, not because he was in any danger, but because his Spirituality was completely depleted.

Having merely witnessed this scene and heard a simple "thank you," Kronos lost all his Spirituality.

If it were someone else, they certainly wouldn't know what they were seeing.

But Kronos guessed it: there was only one person in the entire world of Lord of the Mysteries with this image, and that was the master of the Ghost Empire— "Night Emperor" Trunsoest.

The Skeleton General seemed to be merely verifying Kronos's identity. After confirming it, he directly teleported Kronos to the Mausoleum he had visited last time.

Kronos recognized it at a glance; this was the same room where he had obtained the Marionette Illustrated Compendium last time.

As soon as Kronos stood still, a Gate opened in front of him, as if inviting him inside.

Kronos didn't move or speak, because he was a little scared.

Seeing Trunsoest wasn't anything to be afraid of, but that "thank you" really gave Kronos the creeps.

Why would the mighty Night Emperor thank such a nobody?

After a long time, when Kronos still didn't react, a voice came from inside the room, urging Kronos to act.

"Enter the Gate to begin the Mid-Sequence trials and win even greater rewards."

Upon hearing this voice, Kronos snapped out of his daze, but felt that the voice sounded different from the one he had heard before.

The last time I heard it, it sounded like a synthesized mechanical voice, not like it came from a human mouth.

But today's is different. It's clearly spoken by one person, with a very elegant voice and a hint of teasing.

Upon discovering this, Kronos became even more frightened.

Could it be that something was released after I came in last time?

As if sensing Kronos's hesitation, the voice asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why don't you come in?"

Kronos asked tremblingly, "Who are you?"

Kronos's question seemed to pique the voice's interest, so it retorted, "Why do you ask? Who do you think I am?"

Kronos was certain; there was definitely a living being speaking to him, and its words were full of emotion, unlike the coldness of the last time.

Kronos tentatively asked the same question he had asked before, "You're not His Night Emperor, are you?"

Kronos is now terrified that he has become a backup plan for the Night Emperor's Resurrection.

Although he had great confidence in the Time Stone Time Stone, he didn't believe it belonged to him at the moment.

In Kronos's mind, the gem seemed to regard him as a vessel, and those skills as a reward.

Because he was completely unable to use the gem on his own.

Therefore, if Trunsoest really had his eye on him, he didn't think he had any chance of fighting back.

The voice asked in confusion, "Why do you guess that?"

Instead of giving an answer, he asked another question, leaving Kronos unsure whether to continue the conversation.

Seemingly sensing Kronos's thoughts, the voice suddenly became Majesty authoritative. "Tell the truth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kronos felt a force of Rules Descent.

"I just saw the Night Emperor's figure in the Skeleton General's eyes through the Eyes of Mystery Prying. He even thanked me. I've been a little scared since I came in."

"Then, I noticed a change in your voice. The tone and timbre were different from last time, and it was much more emotional. I suspect you are part of the Night Emperor's plan to Resurrection, because my intrusion caused all these changes."

Because of the power of the Rules, Kronos didn't even need to catch his breath before speaking these truths directly.

Having finished speaking, Kronos felt utterly dejected.

He genuinely felt that he might be in deep trouble this time.

Doesn't the power of the Rules perfectly correspond to Trunsoest as the Justiciar?

The voice burst into laughter, then said, "What a thoughtful lad. Let's go outside, lest we frighten him."

Then, in a flash, two figures appeared before Kronos's eyes.

Kronos looked closely and saw a man and a woman before him. The man was dressed in an elegant tailcoat and was extremely handsome, while the woman was none other than his Messenger.

Kronos didn't ask questions immediately because he still didn't understand what was going on and didn't dare to speak rashly.

Given the Messenger Lady's personality, she shouldn't have been very talkative, since speaking wasn't very convenient for her.

But surprisingly, He was the first to speak this time, "Did He... say... thank... you...?"

At first, Kronos didn't understand what this seemingly random sentence meant, but after a moment's thought, he realized what it was about.

Kronos nodded and said, "His Night Emperor spoke to me with a smile, but my Spirituality was insufficient; I only saw this one scene before it was exhausted."

The Messenger Lady said just that one sentence, and then fell silent.

Seeing that the Messenger Lady remained silent, the man spoke up, "Hello, Kronos, my name is Olmer, you can call me Mr. Olmer."

The name only appeared a few times in the original work, but Kronos Consciousness the person in front of him immediately.

So he cautiously asked, "Are you Sanguine?"

Olmer chuckled, "You're pretty good, kid. You actually knew me?"

Kronos revealed a hint of longing, then said, "The Duke of the Full Moon of the Sanguine, that's the great figure I admire most. Leading the Sanguine through countless trials and tribulations, I will naturally remember your name."

As a result, Kronos received a slap on the head.

Olmer looked at him with amusement, while the one who hit him was the Messenger Lady.

"Your Messenger doesn't appreciate this glib talk. Although I enjoy your flattery, I advise you to be more honest."

Kronos, who had been hanging his head and not planning to speak again, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and raised his head, staring at his Messenger with shining eyes.

Duke of the Full Moon Olmer of the Full Moon, the Ghost Empire of Trunsoest— Kronos thought of a possible woman who could be connected to both sides.

Seeing Kronos's actions, Olmer patted his sleeves and said to the Messenger Lady, "Look, this kid's really clever."

Then he turned to Kronos and asked, "Have you thought of something?"

Kronos swallowed hard, then asked, "Is she the Blood Moon Queen of the Sanguine, the wife of the Night Emperor, Princess ' Goddess of Beauty ' Her Highness Olnia?"

Olmer clapped his hands and said, "I really didn't expect you to know so much, but congratulations, you guessed right."

At this moment, Kronos's head was buzzing.

From the very beginning, he knew he had signed on to an extraordinary Messenger.

Because this Messenger is even more prestigious than Klein's.

But he really didn't expect it to be this person.

This is the most senior vampire besides the Sanguine Lilith. During the Dark Epoch, she was Lilith's Subordinate Deity, Sequence One Goddess of Beauty.

During the Fourth Epoch Age, she was revered as the Blood Moon Queen. After forming an alliance with the Trunsoest, she entered into Political Marriage, making the Sanguine an important force in the Trunsoest Empire.

During the War of the Four Emperors, He perished along with Trunsoest, which dealt a huge blow to the Sanguine, forcing them to retreat to the deep mountains.

He had anticipated that signing this Messenger would bring him enormous trouble, but he never imagined it would be this bad.

Just think about it: War of the Four Emperors, several families of the Trunsoest Empire, supported by the True God Churches, divided up the entire Northern Continent.

The reason why Sanguine live such a miserable life is largely because they are hunted down by these Royal Family.

So what will Kronos face next? Will it be these Sequence One of the Royal Family, and the True God behind them?

Let alone facing them, Kronos is terrified just thinking about it.
