Gift of Fate
By the time he finished his twentieth Figurines, the Potion in Kronos's body had been completely digested.
However, in order to finish what he started and to stay home a few more days, Kronos did not choose to fuse with the other Beyonder Characteristic.
This kind of thing can't be done casually; you need to make some preparations in advance.
Whether one is promoted to Archangel or King of Angel, there will always be some fluctuations.
The strongest within the same Sequence and the strongest in adjacent Sequence are the easiest to perceive.
And Kronos's same- Sequence and adjacent -Sequence are two formidable enemies.
When he advanced to Sequence One, it was thanks to the light of the True Creator, using his territory as cover, that no Message was revealed.
Now that we're going to take it a step further, we naturally need to choose a good location.
Kronos could no longer enter the Forsaken Land of the Gods, because after they left, the True Creator sealed off this area once again.
Therefore, Kronos had no choice but to go to Adam.
Whether it's the Twilight Hermit Order or the Forsaken Land of the Gods, both are good choices for Kronos.
After listening to Kronos's request, Adam pondered for a moment, then said, "The Twilight Hermit Order not suitable for you, because his secrecy is insufficient to conceal the power of the King of Angel."
Ultimately, the Twilight Hermit Order were established by Adam before he became a god, and he didn't reinforce them after becoming a god.
However, Adam offered a new option. "Perhaps you can ascend to my Divine Kingdom."
Adam's Divine Kingdom was that Corpse Cathedral, in Church Adam could rule everything, and naturally he could easily cover up for Kronos.
Kronos ultimately agreed to this option.
He had some concerns, because once they were inside the Corpse Cathedral, he would have almost no power to resist Adam's actions, given Adam's immense strength.
But upon further reflection, Kronos realized that if Adam harbored any ill intentions, even now, he seemed powerless to resist.
Ultimately, Kronos still needed a True God to shield him from the fluctuations of his ascension; it was either Adam or Amanises, since he only knew these two.
These two happen to be the strongest among all the True God, and Kronos was indeed no match for them.
Therefore, no matter what choice he makes, Kronos faces this problem, so he might as well just let it go.
Seeing that Kronos had agreed, Adam didn't hesitate, and the Divine Kingdom Descent directly upon him.
A stone plaza floating in the void appeared before my eyes, surrounded by towering black stone pillars that supported a magnificent and enormous Church.
Every black pillar, every arch, and every dome of the Church is inlaid with the white bones of different races. They are densely packed together in an extremely chaotic manner, surrounding a cross that is hundreds of meters long, staring with empty eyes at the slightly tiny target in the center of the hall, as if conducting Judgment.
Although it looks rather eerie, it doesn't appear sinister at all; instead, it's filled with a sense of holiness.
Adam led Kronos into the Corpse Cathedral.
On the walls and windows of the Corpse Cathedral, transparent and Distortion faces appear, seemingly sealing away countless souls, thus isolating the Corpse Cathedral from interaction with reality.
Those Beyonder will be unable to sense the existence of the Spirit World and the Astral World within themselves, and will be excluded from the environment and creatures outside their target; at the same time, they can also block all prying eyes, and even block the perception of God, delaying the Descent of God.
With this Corpse Cathedral as a cover, all the fluctuations in Kronos's ascension will certainly not leak out.
Adam led Kronos to the very center of the Corpse Cathedral and said, "You can advance without worry; there will be absolutely no leak of your aura."
"If it really leaks and attracts anyone's attention, even Stiano, I'll take responsibility for dealing with it."
Adam's words were quite domineering; in his words, Stiano was like a little Calami.
Hearing Adam's words, Kronos felt much more at ease.
He took out the materials he had prepared in advance from the Mask Space and began to mix the Potion.
Each Sequence One must be administered to the body in the form of Potion to facilitate the fusion of this Potion with the previous Potion.
However, unlike the first Potion, this one does not require the user to prepare for Advancement Ritual, and after taking the potion, there is no need to rack one's brains to figure out how to digest it.
The second and third portions of the Potion do not need to be digested, because the Beyonder have already digested the same Potion. They will soon be able to fully integrate with the first portion of the Potion, and then further enhance the power of authority belonging to Sequence One.
Kronos quickly prepared the Potion and, without any hesitation, drank it all in one gulp.
As soon as the Potion entered his stomach, the torrent of knowledge that had appeared during his previous advancement immediately appeared before Kronos's eyes.
Kronos knew what he should do, so he willingly stepped into the Knowledge Torrent.
As the torrent of Knowledge Torrent washed over his body, Kronos gradually felt the cool, refreshing sensation of the Potion he had just drunk.
Not only that, he could also feel the warm current flowing through his body, which must have been the previous Sequence One Potion.
Kronos deliberately controlled the warm current, gently touching the new Potion.
The warm current gently enveloped the icy Potion, and then began to fuse.
This was the experience Adam taught him before Kronos began.
In the entire world, there are only a handful of people with experience in ascending to the King of Angel, so having such experience would be a great help.
This simple action won't allow the second Potion to be fused instantly, but it certainly speeds up the process considerably.
If Kronos does nothing, the powers of the two Potion will eventually merge, but when they will meet is unpredictable.
With Kronos giving them that push, the two of them have now begun to merge.
After Kronos completed this action, he waited quietly.
This promotion won't last long. Since no problems have arisen, he'll be able to leave soon.
At this point, it's clear that Kronos's strength is on a completely different level than before.
In the state that comes with promotion, he can now freely control his own behavior, unlike before when he was completely driven by the promotion and had no ability to make decisions.
Not long after, the Knowledge Torrent vanished into thin air, and Kronos's Consciousness returned to the Corpse Cathedral.
Seeing that Kronos had come to his senses, Adam said with a smile, "Congratulations, the new King of Angel in this world."
Kronos did not reply, but quietly savored his own power.
The Beyonder Characteristic of the two Knowledge Emperor did not lead to any qualitative change; they merely made Kronos's power slightly stronger.
In this respect, Kronos is inferior to the Hidden Sage, after all, the Hidden Sage is composed of a Knowledge Emperor and a Uniqueness, possessing some of the characteristics of Hermit.
Kronos said in a low voice, "Mr. Adam, I feel that I may not be a match for the Hidden Sage right now."
That statement is not wrong.
Although Kronos wielded the Authority of Time, the Power of Time never granted him any powerful offensive abilities.
Perhaps the Hidden Sage Hidden Sage n't defeat him who controlled time, but neither could Kronos.
Adam, as if he had expected this, showed no doubt whatsoever about Kronos's question.
He said, "Indeed, your current strength is still inferior to that of the Hidden Sage, but you still have the opportunity to improve yourself, while the Hidden Sage does not."
Kronos looked at Adam with a puzzled expression, then asked, "What opportunity to improve myself? The remaining Beyonder Characteristic and Uniqueness are all in the Hidden Sage, how can I improve myself?"
Adam spoke up, "Have you forgotten your bet with Will Unsett?"
A bet? Kronos's mind went blank for a moment. Hadn't their relationship simply ended their feud?
Therefore, Kronos began to recall the contents of the wager.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something; Will had said he would grant his wish.
At the time, Kronos didn't understand the meaning behind it. He just thought that Will was saying that in the matter of hindering him, he was choosing to give up and not mess around anymore.
But now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be the case at all.
Moreover, Ouroboros also said that there would be a deal to be made with him, and that he would understand when the time came.
Adam's voice came again. "The authority of Fate and the Authority of Time that you wield are both extremely powerful authorities, yet neither has been able to demonstrate their corresponding power."
"The main reason is that none of them are entirely complete."
"If Will and Ouroboros are willing to grant your wish, you will be the first person to demonstrate the full power of both Pathway."
Only then did Kronos truly understand why Will had been so hostile towards him back then.
After the Authority of Time appeared, Fate believed its opportunity had arrived, so it directly instructed Will and Ouroboros to relinquish it.
Kronos himself could not imagine what the two of them were feeling at that time.
Furthermore, since Fate favored Kronos, the followers of Fate could not harm him. Therefore, Will chose to exploit this loophole and hinder Kronos's growth.
Ouroboros, on the other hand, prayed before the True Creator for a full six months before finally finding peace.
Now that Kronos has fully matured and is ready to accept the gifts of Fate, the deal between him and Will and Ouroboros should officially begin.
Seeing that Kronos understood, Adam nodded and said, "Since you understand, then go ahead. Will should be in Backlund. If you need to go to the Forsaken Land of the Gods, I can take you there."
After considering it for a moment, Kronos finally decided to go to Backlund first.
At this point, Kronos was already the King of Angel with dual attributes, so Will was no match for him, making this place relatively safe.
But the Forsaken Land of the Gods is different. Ouroboros's strength may be similar to mine, but he has a True Creator by his side, so we must be wary.
If we improve our strength with Will first, we can face Ouroboros with more ease.
After being sent away from the Corpse Cathedral by Adam, Ouroboros, who was in the Forsaken Land of the Gods Holy Mountain, and Will, who was in Backlund, both sensed something at the same time.
Ouroboros opened his eyes slightly, then closed them again as if he had lost interest, and continued to pray to his Lord.
As for Will, although he was still an Infant, he genuinely sighed and murmured, "This day has finally come. Although I seem to have come to terms with it and let go, I still feel a sense of resentment."
It didn't take Kronos long to reach Backlund.
Upon arriving in Backlund, he made no attempt to conceal his search of the entire city.
Although Backlund shouldn't be behaving so blatantly, the fact that Backlund's forces are all on their own now means that this is no big deal.
However, after searching the entire city of Kronos, they ultimately found nothing.
Will might not be a match for him, but it wouldn't be too difficult for him to avoid him.
Just as Kronos stood in the air pondering, two figures appeared beside Kronos.
Kronos turned his head and saw that it was Mr. Trunsoest Couple.
This couple was truly remarkable; after Kronos's successful coup, they moved into the Royal Palace and lived on the land William had established.
There was no one stronger than them in the entire Kingdom, so naturally no one noticed.
Olnia spoke first, "Kronos, what are you looking for?"
As both being Sequence One, Olnia and Trunsoest could naturally sense what Kronos was doing.
Kronos began, "Will Unsetin, he promised to help me out, but when it came down to it, that old bastard hid away."
Upon hearing this, Olnia actually giggled. If Kronos hadn't already become the King of Angel, he would have been completely captivated.
"Now that Will has made his decision, and with Fate as his witness," Trunsoest said.
"Right now, he's more likely hiding his tracks, waiting for you to find him, just to torment you and let you vent your anger."
