A conversation among the gods

Kronos did not answer; instead, he fell silent.

Although Will has been trying to block Kronos's path, He most likely doesn't yet know Kronos's specific situation.

In order to evade Ouroboros, Will is currently in a reboot state, so He can only cause trouble for Kronos by influencing the course of Fate.

But what if one day He successfully restarts and is reborn?

Given his entanglement with Kronos, there's a high chance this undercover mission won't last.

At that point, Knowledge Emperor's Beyonder Characteristic from the Church of Steam and Machinery will become even more difficult.

Although Roselle likely possessed some of the Beyonder Characteristic of Knowledge Emperor, anyone aspiring to godhood cannot avoid the influence of the Church of Steam and Machinery.

If they can't steal it now, they'll have to wait until later to confront it head-on and take it by force.

Therefore, if there is an opportunity, it is necessary to gag Will in advance.

Seeing Kronos's intention, Amanises continued, "Now that you have successfully obtained the Sequence Two Potion, Will's chances of successfully stopping you are dwindling."

"If I propose this bet, there's a high chance He'll agree."

"As for Adam, you don't need to worry about him; that's a game between me and Him."

Kronos looked up at Amanises and said, "This bet is clearly between you and Adam, but what if Will simply doesn't intend to get involved?"

Upon hearing this, Amanises laughed, then said with a confident tone, "He's just a Sequence One Archangel. I personally involved him, so he has no choice but to participate."

That's incredibly assertive, but it's also the truth.

Despite being Sequence One, Will's strength is still far from that of True God.

Ouroboros could hunt Him down to the point of being unable to lift His head, then Amanises could crush Him to death in one fell swoop.

Amanises dared to do this entirely because he was optimistic about Kronos's potential.

This is a young man who wields entirely new power, and one that I've already invested in.

At this moment, Amanises viewed him as if he were a future ally.

Therefore, whenever Kronos needs it, He is truly willing to help Kronos clear away many obstacles.

Hearing Amanises' confident words, Kronos finally made up his mind and said, "Goddess, I am willing to participate in this gamble, but I wonder when it will be held?"

Amanises said nonchalantly, "The timing is up to you. Choose the time when you feel your chances of success are highest."

Amanises wanted to resolve Kronos's troubles and gain some benefits for himself, so he naturally didn't want to force Kronos to act now.

After careful consideration, Kronos said, "Let's wait until Will is reborn before deciding."

Although Kronos was very confident in his own strength, he knew that Baoli was a veteran Sequence 3 powerhouse, so he had to be more cautious in his actions.

My knowledge of the Material Structure hasn't been fully exhausted yet, so the Potion can be further digested.

They could have waited until their skills reached a certain level before considering the bet with Baoli.

Amanises said, "No problem, you can even postpone it a little longer, because there's still time."

"Baoli Dellau has been at Sequence 3 for some time now, and there's unlikely to be any significant improvement in his strength anytime soon."

Kronos nodded and said, "I understand, Goddess."

The conversation between the two ended there, as there was nothing more to discuss.

Kronos was sent back to his original place by Amanises, while he himself went to communicate with the other True God about the matter of his new authority.

The emergence of a new authority in this world is a momentous event.

Amanises, who knew everything, naturally wanted to cover for Kronos.

This concealment was not to protect Kronos, but to maintain the relationship with Kronos.

The Consciousness of the seven gods all arrived in a specific space, a space that existed specifically for them to communicate.

To prevent the invasion of the Outer Deity, the seven gods each guarded their respective Astral World, and could not leave for too long at the same time, so this space came into being.

After Amanises arrived, a loud complaint was heard. "Amanises, you're so slow! We've been waiting for you for ages!"

The voice did not come from the most volatile "Lord of Storms," Leodero, but rather from "God of Combat," Badheil.

The dispute between the two gods over the Pathway of communication had escalated to a life-or-death level; if it weren't for the presence of Outer Deity to guard against, they would have already broken out into battle.

So Badheil was basically looking for every opportunity to "attack" Amanises, even something as trivial as being late.

Amanises showed no intention of retaliating. Instead, he spoke gently to the others, "I apologize. A Devil that emerged from the Abyss just now delayed me, which is why I'm late."

"Lord of Storms" Leodero and "God of Steam and Machinery" Stiano immediately chimed in, "It's alright, everyone knows about this, so your slight delay is within our expectations."

There were no disputes regarding their Pathway, and they were all preaching in the same country, so the relationship between the three was very good.

As for "Eternal Blazing Sun" Aucuses and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" Herabergen, they were complete bystanders, adopting a neutral stance.

The Earth Mother Omebella / Lilith is an "ally" of Badheil, but she completely disregards Badheil's childish attacks.

After Amanises finished explaining, Badheil still wouldn't let it go. "It took you so long to deal with a Archduke of Blood, Amanises, your strength must be starting to decline."

"Since Twilight is already Descent upon you, why not just accept it gracefully?"

Hearing Badheil's provocative words, everyone present shook their heads helplessly.

Badheil always acted this way whenever he encountered Amanises, like an impulsive child, wanting to use every means to force Amanises to turn against him.

Because in Badheil's eyes, Amanises's strength was not that great; as long as he was forced to turn against him, the outcome could be decided in one battle.

But Amanises seemed completely unconcerned, showing no regard for Badheil's provocation.

Amanises then said, "Now that I'm here, let's talk about this new authority."

Amanises's evasive attitude only confirmed Badheil's suspicions. "Amanises is all bark and no bite!"

Badheil was definitely not the only one with this idea.

At least Aucuses and Stiano had this idea in mind, otherwise they wouldn't have joined forces with Badheil to attack Amanises later.

Aucuses is one thing, after all, his relationship with Amanises was only so-so, so it's reasonable for him to act for his own benefit.

However, Stiano and Amanises clearly had a good relationship, otherwise he wouldn't have cooperated with the Church of the Evernight Goddess to encourage women to go out and work.

However, in the end, He firmly stood on the opposite side of Amanises, causing the Church of Steam and Machinery's foundation in the Loen Kingdom to completely dissipate.

After Amanises proposed the new authority, all the gods focused their attention on Herabergen.

In terms of combat prowess, Herabergen is by no means outstanding among the gods; he would be quite good if he could defeat Stiano.

However, when it comes to understanding this world, the White Tower Pathway is absolutely top-notch.

Unlike the Pathway of Hermit and Paragon in the pursuit of knowledge, the White Tower Pathway emphasizes acquiring more knowledge and then transforming that knowledge into one's own power.

Therefore, if anything changes in this world, Herabergen, the Traitor Dragon, will definitely be the first to know.

Herabergen stroked his beard and said, "This new authority has been around for some time now, about three years ago."

This very opening line surprised the gods present.

It should be noted that barbarians like Leodero and Badheil had no sense of this until today.

Even Aucuses only sensed some changes, but didn't know what those changes were.

As a result, Herabergen told everyone today that the new authority has been in place for more than three years.

Ignoring everyone's surprise, Herabergen continued, "This authority was quite powerful from its inception, and it is intertwined with the Authority of Fate."

"I have tried many times to see the true nature of this power, but due to the influence of the Authority of Fate, I have basically failed each time."

"Only today do I fully understand what this authority truly is; it is the Power of Time."

After listening, Aucuses asked, "Does this new authority being intertwined with Fate mean that it is Pathway adjacent to the Wheel of Fortune Pathway?"

Herabergen chuckled and said, "I don't know. I only learned today that it's time. How could I possibly know what you're talking about?"

"If you want to know the answer to this question, you should find the person who has gained new power, or ask Ouroboros and Will."

Aucuses's eyes darted around, as if he had an idea in mind.

The person who will assume new power has not yet been found, but Ouroboros and Will are certainly worth considering.

Of course, we can forget about Ouroboros; if He were to question Ouroboros, a fight would be inevitable. But Will is fine.

Aucuses refused to believe that Will, this little Little Snake, would dare to hide anything from Him.

After this conversation, the Consciousness of the seven gods departed, as they had not obtained any reliable answers and each had their own matters to attend to.

After emerging from the Darkened Heaven, Kronos went directly back to the location where the battle had taken place.

Because of the recent battle, this place has become the focus of many people's attention, so the Iron Anchor wisely left.

Kronos didn't waste much effort searching for the Iron Anchor; he simply activated the Worm of Star on the Iron Anchor and then teleported directly onto Iron Anchor.

At this moment, the Iron Anchor was heading towards the Naga Tribe.

Although everything before was just acting, one thing is certain: the Iron Anchor needs to go to the Naga Tribe.

Hal is missing one key ingredient for his Potion to ascend to Demigod, and the Naga Tribe possesses this key ingredient.

So even without the fishing incident, the Iron Anchor would still have gone there.

Not only for the main materials, the Naga Tribe can also provide Hal with a perfect Advancement Ritual.

This is the essence of the Naga Tribe.

The Worm of Time inside Hal hadn't caused any problems, so the people on the Iron Anchor knew that nothing serious had happened to Kronos, but they still breathed a sigh of relief after Kronos reappeared.

Despite Todd's status as Demigod, their leader is still Kronos.

The Iron Anchor was heading towards the Naga Tribe, and Kronos began crafting yet another of his Fallen Servant aboard.

When facing the Archduke of Blood in the Abyss, Kronos didn't have much energy to fully corrupt Agalito, so he used the Fallen Domain to control him and didn't take any further action.

Now that Kronos has nothing else to do, he can focus on turning Agalito into Fallen Servant.

Agalito's other abilities are average, but his Demigod- level Malice Perception is very strong.

Kronos possesses a pocket watch crafted with the Beyonder Characteristic of Desire Apostle, enabling him to sense malice from others.

However, Kronos had already stored the pocket watch in his Mask Space, because it was indeed excessively hot when facing malice from Demigod or higher.

Each time, Kronos feared that the pocket watch would burst into flames right inside his pocket.

Now that Agalito possesses his abilities, this Beyonder Item no longer needs to withstand temperatures it shouldn't have to endure.

For Kronos, corrupting a Sequence 4 is a very fast process, so in just a few minutes, Agalito, the Fallen Servant, was fully formed.

Kronos now has four Fallen Servant: Churls, Panatiya, the Sea Monster, and Agalito.

After completely turning Agalito into Fallen Servant, Kronos relayed the Message to Nast that Agalito had been dealt with.

Who knows if Nast has the ability to monitor Agalito's vital signs, so the Message was only sent after he was completely dealt with.

After this Message was sent out, Nast officially announced the establishment of its nation to the entire World of Mysteries.
