Two Sequence 3 Demigod guarded the main gate... No wonder it's called the " Giant King's Court," the divine kingdom of the ancient gods... The members of the Tarot Club felt a similar sentiment, while " The Sun " Derrick continued his narration without pausing.
He was initially quite shocked to discover that the two " Silver Knight " were guarding the main gate of the " Giant King's Court," but the series of events that followed made it seem extremely ordinary and no longer stirred his emotions.
"... Based on what Mr. 'World' shared, we took a more secluded route to the rear of the ' Giant King's Court '... The Monster we encountered along the way were mainly Wraith, which were countered by the ' Unshadowed Crucifix '..."
"Upon arriving at the ' Forest of Decay,' I attempted to explore it and discovered that Evil Spirit, formed by the lingering will of the Giant King combined with the power of the divine realm, was guarding my parents' tomb..." " The Sun " Derrick skillfully recounted his experiences along the way, while " Justice " Audrey, " The Hanged Man " Alger, and other members of the Tarot Club quickly pulled their thoughts back from the " Silver Knight " guardian and listened attentively.
They were all very interested in the secrets hidden in the " Forest of Decay," wanting to know what the ancient god, the Giant King, had to keep from the Queen and the children.
Recalling what he witnessed, " The Sun " Derrick paused for a moment before speaking:
"After Purification the Evil Spirit, we arrived at the tomb of the Giant King's parents. There stood a stone tablet indicating the identity of the tomb's occupants. The tomb and coffin had long been opened by someone, revealing the remains inside—those were the remains of two humans..."
Human remains? Human remains are buried in the tomb of the Giant King's parents? Godfather and Godmother? No, there was no religion back then... As a Demigod with extensive knowledge of mysticism, " The Hermit " Cattleya's first reaction was that the two remains had another identity.
Then, she recalled some of the Queen's words, questions that Emperor Roselle had posed before his death, seemingly as a prompting remark, yet also as a soliloquy:
Why are Giant, Elf, and Vampire referred to as humanoid or humanoid beings even in ancient texts and historical records?
Why not call humans Giant- like, Elf -like, or Vampire- like creatures?
Could it be that all humanoid beings originated from humans? Are Giant, Elf, and Vampire Beyonder Characteristic that can be inherited? The Hermit Cattleya, instantly calmed her emotions and began to seriously consider the possible reasons.
At that moment, she felt that once she returned to the real world, the Potion would definitely be digested to some extent.
Because Sequence 4 of the " Mystery Pryer " pathway is called " Mystic," and the Progenitor of Giant and the origin of humanoid beings is undoubtedly of great value, containing mystical knowledge that normal Demigod cannot know!
The Giant King's parents were human? That can't be true... Alger, the " The Hanged Man," immediately suspected that someone had staged the scene.
But then he realized that it wasn't just a matter of taking away real bones and getting human corpses; he also had to prepare a suitable coffin to make the tomb look like it wasn't for Giant. And this kind of forgery had no practical significance and wouldn't have much impact on reality. Alger thought that no one would do something so pointless.
Those who could enter the " Giant King's Court " and suppress a powerful Evil Spirit, and who were close to those two tombs, were at least Saint, well past the age of playing pranks!
Could it be true... that the Progenitor of humanoid beings were all humans? Including Elf? Having witnessed too many shocking things at the Tarot Club, and having experienced a collapse of faith on that primitive island due to the content of the murals, " The Hanged Man " Alger did not show any particularly strong emotions at this moment. He simply couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his dark blue hair.
Mr. The Hanged Man made connections to himself in this matter? The Giant King's parents were actually human... It seems that most of the creation myths circulating today are false, intentionally fabricated by later generations. However, they also contain some hidden metaphors... Mr. The Moon seems unable to accept this matter... Mr. World seems to have known all along... Audrey " Justice," using her psychological abilities and techniques such as " Placate," quickly regained control of her state and instinctively observed the reactions of the other members.
At this moment, Emlyn " The Moon " is the most unsettled, his mind filled with thoughts of "impossible" and "this is impossible."
If the Progenitor of Giant was human, then what about Sanguine? Are we merely Monster created by mutations of Beyonder Characteristic? Impossible! We were clearly created by our Progenitor, who possessed the authority of "life" and "creation," completely unlike barbaric gods like the Giant King and the Elf King who only knew how to fight! As Emlyn's thoughts surged, he inexplicably felt a crack in his own pride.
His intuition, his reason, and his brain all told him that " The Sun " Derrick had no motive to lie about this matter, and the possibility of other fabricated scenes was extremely low. So, he subconsciously excluded Giant and Elf from the ranks of humanoid beings, regarding them as a branch of humanity.
" The Star " Leonard, " Magician " Fors, and " Judgement " Hugh quickly accepted the possibility revealed in " The Sun " Derrick's words. To them, whether the Progenitor the Giant was Giant, a human, or even a curly-haired baboon, it didn't really matter. At most, it showed that many extraordinary beings originated from the accumulation of Beyonder Characteristic in ordinary organisms, which had little practical significance.
" The Sun," Derrick, calmed himself and continued in the strange silence:
After leaving the ' Forest of Decay ', we entered the ' Giant King's Court ' through the ' Desolate Tunnel '...
"... The path is tainted with ' Depravity ' and ' Concealment ' forces; the right approach is necessary to proceed..."
"... The palace contains murals imbued with the power of ' the Fate Loop,' which influenced us, transforming us into participants in the gathering, repeating a very short process—the establishment of the ' Rose Redemption '..."
At this point, Derrick looked around and saw that all the members had temporarily shaken off their previous state and were showing great interest in the " Rose Redemption " organization.
They all knew that this was an extremely Concealment and ancient organization that followed and believed in the " True Creator," and was the origin of the Aurora Order. Its members included great figures such as the Angel King Ouroboros, Medici, and Sasrir.
Derrick withdrew his gaze and silently exhaled, saying:
"The two conveners of the ' Rose Redemption ' are ' Dark Angel ' Sasrir and ' Evernight Goddess ' Amanises..."
"Huh?" Audrey " Justice," Leonard " The Star," and Hugh " Judgement " were momentarily disbelieving their ears.
They were all believers in the Evernight, and never imagined that the goddess would be a member and organizer of the " Rose Redemption ".
This is like saying that the " Evernight Goddess " is a member of Tarot Club!
If they didn't know what kind of person "Little the Sun " was, they would have known long ago that he wouldn't lie and would definitely have doubted the truth of the matter. But now, they were speechless for a moment, and didn't even dare to think about it too deeply.
" The Hanged Man " Alger unconsciously turned his body to look at " The Sun " Derrick, listening to him speak slowly and heavily:
"Participants include: ' Angel of Pure White ' Aucuses, ' Angel of Wind ' Leodero..."
Alger's eyelids twitched, but he didn't dare to let any thoughts run through his mind.
"...' God of Combat ' Badhair, ' Earth Mother ' Omebella..."
Emlyn, the Moon had been leaning back in her chair, unconsciously sat up straight, only one thought echoing in her mind, " Goddess of Harvest," Giant Queen, Omebella...
"' God of the Undead ' Salinger, ' God of Spirits ' Tolzna..."
The voice of " The Sun," Derrick, echoed repeatedly within the ancient and magnificent palace. " The Hermit," Cattleya, " The Magician," Fors, and the other members looked at each other, none daring to speak, as if delving any deeper would invite divine retribution.
After Derrick finished speaking, they remained silent, the silence almost eerily quiet.
Finally, " The Hermit " Cattleya sighed and said:
"' Rose Redemption ' is terrifyingly powerful. Before this, I couldn't have imagined that those beings could be its members..."
As soon as she finished speaking, "World" Gehrman Sparrow said in a deep, hoarse voice:
"That was an organization formed to fight against the Ancient The Sun God; later, only a few Angel King remained."
Upon hearing their conversation, Audrey and the other members of " Justice " seemed to have just woken from a dream, and all of them subconsciously turned their gazes to the head of the mottled long table, to the figure shrouded in Gray Fog, as if awaiting the judgment of the Authority.
" The Fool " Klein had already anticipated a similar scenario. Instead of giving a direct response, he nodded slightly and sighed:
"Thus, the ' Fallen Creator ' was born."
It's true... it's really true... Mr. The Fool's initial hint about the " Rose Redemption " had such a profound meaning... What was His identity in ancient times, and what position did He hold in these events...? These thoughts instantly formed Storm, sweeping through the minds of all the members of the Tarot Club.
" The Sun " Derrick looked at everyone, and seeing that no one spoke, he had no choice but to begin talking about the subsequent exploration:
"... Outside the Giant King's palace, we encountered Myrgongen, the leader of Light Slayer ' Court Pursuers,' who said that the ' Dark Angel ' Sasrir slumbers within that palace..."
Compared to the " Rose Redemption " incident, the news that the mysterious " Dark Angel " is now sleeping in the Giant King's palace no longer caused much emotional fluctuation for the Tarot Club members, including " The Star " Leonard and " The Moon " Emlyn; it merely satisfied a certain curiosity.
Of course, as a " Mystic ", Cattleya only hoped that the " The Sun " could say a little more.
"Then we returned, and Mr. ' The Fool ' bestowed upon us the recipe for the ' Silver Knight ' Potion." " The Sun," Derrick, concluded the story with utmost honesty.
" Justice " Audrey and the others were still reeling from what had just happened, lingering fear akin to blasphemy, and no one responded for a moment. Only " The Hanged Man " Alger thought for a moment and said:
"Since the birth of the ' True Creator ' originated from the ' Rose Redemption,' He must be familiar with what happened in the ' Giant King's Court.' Why was Elder Lovia, the ' Shepherd,' completely unprepared for this?"
