Ouroboros

While Kronos was studying the First Blasphemy Slate, outside the space he Imagination, Klein and the others were discussing something.

Having already reached this crucial position, and perhaps with one more step forward they would be able to see the world outside the Forsaken Land of the Gods, the people of City of Silver were quite excited.

As Colin and Lovia gradually recovered, they themselves could no longer contain their eagerness.

Even if Sasrir hasn't been dealt with yet, it shouldn't matter, right?

Even if this "Mr. Hermes" who interfered midway was no match for Sasrir, it wasn't a big deal for them to secretly peek at what the outside world was like, was it?

Derrick understood their feelings perfectly, because he felt the same way himself.

Therefore, he looked at Klein.

Klein had spent his entire life basking in the sunlight, so he wasn't particularly concerned about what was happening outside.

What he was more concerned about was whether Hermes could defeat the Evil Spirit of Sasrir.

If that doesn't work, will he need to resort to desperate measures?

Therefore, Klein's focus remained on the location where Kronos and Sasrir had disappeared.

Only after Derrick spoke to Klein did Klein notice the feelings of the people of City of Silver.

Klein pondered for a moment, then said, "If you want to give it a try, then go ahead and try it."

"Although I don't know what's behind that Gate, it's very likely the outside world."

After receiving Mr. World's approval, Derrick looked at Chief Colin.

Suppressing his excitement, Colin said to Derrick, "The future of City of Silver is in your hands. It's because of you that we've gotten this far. Go, Derrick, push open that door."

"Hmm!" Derrick's eyes reddened, and he pursed his lips tightly.

He put down the giant hammer in his hand, and with Klein's encouraging gaze, he steadily walked around the iron-black throne and came to the gray-blue Gate depicting a scene at Twilight.

Derrick stared for a second, then bent down, stretched out his hands, and placed them on either side of the door crack.

Derrick was still very uneasy; he was afraid that darkness lay behind that door.

City of Silver has been disappointed for far too long; it's unclear whether continued disappointment will break them.

Finally, he flexed his muscles and pushed hard.

At that moment, he seemed to see his father and mother, and his dead comrades Joshua, Antilna, and others.

They stood beside him, placing their hands on the door, and together they pushed open the grey-blue Gate.

Drops of water slid down Derrick's face, the heavy pattering sound echoing in his ears.

A crack appeared, letting in the golden sunlight.

The gap widened, and a vast, golden sea gradually appeared before Derrick's eyes, as well as before those of Colin Iliad and the others.

This scene, which is commonplace to outsiders, captivated everyone present at once.

City of Silver's millennia-long perseverance has finally yielded a perfect result today.

Congratulations on arriving in this new world!

The voice came from Kronos's mouth.

After Record everything on the Blasphemy Slate, Kronos immediately left that space.

Without Sasrir's control, the Blasphemy Slate could no longer continuously mobilize the power of the Chaos Sea.

If this situation continues for too long, people outside will eventually notice.

At this moment, Kronos lacked confidence in facing Amon or the True Creator, so he might as well reveal himself quickly and hand over the Blasphemy Slate voluntarily.

After carrying the stone slab out of the space, he saw everyone reveling in the golden sunlight, and so he casually said this.

Before Colin and the others could react, the surrounding space rippled, and then a figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

That was Amon, the "Angel of Time," wearing a Glasses and a pointed soft hat.

Amon smiled at Klein first, but made no move.

Intimidation, absolutely intimidation.

With Amon's current abilities, he cannot steal Klein's Sefirah Castle without any side effects.

Amon was very Greed; he wanted to enjoy all the benefits for himself and make Klein bear all the drawbacks.

Since he can't do it yet, he won't act rashly.

Therefore, this laugh was meant to frighten Klein.

If Klein hadn't been relatively calm at the moment, he would have actually escaped back to Sefirah Castle.

After frightening Klein with a smile, Amon then looked at Kronos.

"What did Adam send you here for? To steal the Blasphemy Slate from me?"

Amon's voice was filled with arrogance and disdain.

He had definitely heard of Hermes; he was indeed a prominent figure.

However, in Amon's eyes, this person was far inferior to him.

If Adam really sends him to compete with him, he wouldn't mind letting Adam experience the feeling of losing both his wife and his army.

Kronos, however, was quite sensible.

Without saying a word of unnecessary words, he directly presented the Blasphemy Slate with both hands.

"Mr. Amon, you misunderstand. I only wanted to spar with Sasrir; I had no intention of taking the Blasphemy Slate."

Hermes ' words made Amon feel very comfortable.

After all, he's one of Adam's people, so unless he has some ulterior motives, Amon won't take the initiative to act.

Amon reached out and took the Blasphemy Slate offered by Hermes, examined it briefly, and then nodded in satisfaction.

Just after the Blasphemy Slate fell into Amon's hands, a huge, black, quagmire-like domain appeared directly beneath Amon's feet and swallowed the God of Mischief whole.

Kronos saw it clearly: this was the power of Corruption.

Clearly, this surpasses even the Evil Spirit of Sasrir, so there's only one possibility for who made the move— the True Creator.

The black swamp flashed by, swallowed Amon, and then vanished.

Kronos retreated hastily, originally intending to leave a battlefield for Amon and True Creator, but unexpectedly, the two did not intend to fight here.

What happens after that is none of Kronos's business.

Klein quietly approached Kronos and asked, "Mr. Hermes, what brings you here?"

Kronos laughed and said, "You don't need to worry so much about my presence. I'm here to help you; otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten myself into this mess."

"Why?" Klein wasn't so easily dispelled by his wariness, mainly because Adam and the Twilight Hermit Order too mysterious.

Kronos said in a subtle tone, "Someone sent me to help you; his codename is Fate."

These words were not only heard by Kronos, but also by the people of City of Silver behind him.

"You're a friend of Mr. Fate? No wonder you've come to help us!" Derrick said with delight.

To be honest, Little Sun's trust in Mr. Fate far exceeds that in Mr. World; they're not even on the same level.

Kronos nodded slightly.

This way, he would reveal his true identity, and even if the people of these Forsaken Land of the Gods later worshipped the Fool, they would not forget Mr. Fate.

Kronos continued, "You can start preparing to move. The ship he's prepared will arrive here soon, and it will bring everyone in City of Silver into the new world."

The ship they referred to was, of course, the Ghost Empire.

The moment that Gate opened, Kronos, as the master of the Ghost Empire Ghost Empire, could sense its presence and naturally summoned it immediately.

Compared to ordinary Pirate Ship, the Ghost Empire is definitely more powerful.

If they can gather everyone together, the Ghost Empire can take everyone from the Forsaken Land of the Gods away from here all at once.

After consulting with those present, they finally decided to go to all the cities in the Forsaken Land of the Gods now and take everyone away at once.

Klein was happy to have this arrangement. He had already spread the name of Mr. Fool, so these people were his natural followers. The sooner he took them away, the stronger their faith would become.

Since that's the case, then Klein will go to each city to inform them, and City of Silver will be responsible for receiving them. Everyone will leave together then.

Watching these people work so enthusiastically, Kronos felt very happy. He could consider this a good deed, at least he had saved Colin and Lovia's lives and given them the opportunity to enter the new world.

Just as Kronos was happily watching these people, something seemed to suddenly Distortion around him, and then a powerful force of Corruption swept Kronos away.

He had thought the True Creator wouldn't attack him, but it seems he was too careless.

With the power of Corruption, Kronos went directly to the Holy Mountain in the Forsaken Land of the Gods.

This place is like the Divine Kingdom of the True Creator, and the True Sanctum that the Aurora Order yearns for.

As soon as he regained his footing, Kronos saw a very impactful scene.

A Giant, hanging upside down, floated in mid-air, spewing incoherent babbling.

At this point, the True Creator has almost no rationality left, and does everything based on instinct.

These drifting murmurs were highly disruptive; even Kronos himself found them giving him a headache, let alone others.

A person stood in front of the upside-down Giant.

This person is beautiful with gentle features and a tender yet slightly indifferent expression. She is tall and slender with long, silver hair that reaches her back. She wears a simple and plain Linen Robe, with layers upon layers of radiant wings on her back.

He stood devoutly before Giant Giant, as if asking for some answer.

This person is undoubtedly Ouroboros, the "Ouroboros" and the "Angel of Fate".

Just when Kronos thought that the True Creator had found him based on his own whims, Ouroboros actually spoke up.

"It was I who asked my Lord to bring you to me."

"I just want to see what the person who ultimately severed my connection with Will Uncrestin looks like."

Upon hearing this, Kronos immediately tensed up.

Since Ouroboros said those words, it means he must have recognized him.

This makes perfect sense; Ouroboros must have known of his existence from Fate long ago.

Now that he was in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, Ouroboros could naturally sense his presence.

The reason Will has been bothering him for so long is because he himself has cut off Will's path to godhood, isn't it?

Although Kronos still doesn't know how he made the decision, since this story exists, it must be true.

Will's path is blocked, and isn't the same true for Ouroboros?

Will has been bothering him for so long, but what about Ouroboros?

Just as Kronos was on guard against Ouroboros, Ouroboros raised his head and looked at Kronos.

Ouroboros's eyes truly astonished Kronos.

It's not because it's good-looking, or for any other external reason.

The main reason was that Kronos couldn't see a single emotion in those eyes; they were completely indifferent.

Ouroboros has gone so far that he has lost all humanity.

After exchanging glances, Ouroboros said, "You don't need to be too nervous. I have no intention of attacking you."

"Since Fate has made its decision, I shall accept it."

"If the Lord commands me to act, I might defy the guidance of Fate, but I have prayed to my Lord many times without receiving any response, so I will let nature take its course."

Kronos glanced at the upside-down Giant with a strange look, thinking rather rudely, "Can he really give a response?"

But Ouroboros seemed to see through Kronos's thoughts and said, "Although the Lord is somewhat confused, he is able to make his own judgments on important matters."

"So his lack of response means that the matter is not important to him at all."

Uh... Kronos didn't know whether this was true or whether Ouroboros was just trying to force an explanation for his god.

But no matter what, as long as Ouroboros doesn't attack me, that's fine.

Ouroboros continued, "You still don't understand why you've severed my path with Will."

"But it won't be long before you become Archangel, and then you'll understand why."

"I'm waiting for you to come and make a deal with me then. I hope you can be of help."

Ouroboros is much better than Will; at least he's more straightforward.

You've blocked my path, and I don't really care, but you'll need my help, so we can make a proper deal then.

This personality trait truly delighted Kronos.

One advantage of divinity being in control is this:

Reason reigns supreme; regardless of other circumstances, his primary goal is always to achieve his own objective.

Nothing else could sway Ouroboros's decision, unless the True Creator suddenly awoke and said, "Ouroboros, defy Fate!"
