Kingdom of Loen, Backlund.
Fors, who was still fast asleep, was suddenly awakened from her dream and subconsciously turned her gaze to the window.
She had similar experiences before; before becoming a member of the Tarot Club, she had woken up in the middle of the night several times due to the Full Moon Curse. But today, she did not feel the familiar pain; instead, she felt a strange tremor in her heart.
Because the curtains blocked the window, Fors couldn't tell what time it was from the dim light. She subconsciously got out of bed, walked to the window, and quickly pulled open the two layers of curtains, one thick and one thin.
Sunlight pierced through the thin mist and streamed into the room, dispelling the lingering darkness. Fors stood at the window, gazing at the sky, a clear look of bewilderment on his face.
The Sun has already risen, and the crimson moon has long since set, so why do I still have that feeling of impending Full Moon Curse?
Moreover, there are still quite a few days until the Full Moon!
The Republic of Intis, with its capital in Trier.
Early Astronomer, occult enthusiasts, and Beyonder hidden among ordinary people all turned their gaze to the high heavens.
The night clouds had completely dissipated, and the huge, bright the Moon had obscured the light of the stars.
The Moon's color was no longer the usual crimson; it was pure white and exceptionally bright.
All the witnesses were stunned; this was the Moon they had never seen before.
Neither normal textbooks about human society nor books related to occultism have recorded any similar phenomena!
Apart from the common crescent moon, Full Moon, and the occasional " Blood Moon," The Moon has never exhibited such changes, at least not in the more than 1,300 years since the Fifth Age!
At this moment, the witnesses realized that in addition to crimson and blood red, the Moon also had other colors.
The Forsaken Land of the Gods, the City of Silver.
Because it was an afternoon with a high frequency of lightning, Derrick and his colleagues noticed the anomaly at high altitude.
The lightning and darkness they were used to and familiar with vanished completely in those few seconds, leaving no trace. The blood-red halo that occupied half the sky was so obvious and so huge that it illuminated everything with unparalleled clarity.
The quick-witted residents of City of Silver immediately connected the description and illustrations of the Moon in their general education textbooks, and a series of bewildered and confused thoughts flashed through their minds:
"Is this the Moon?"
" Crimson Moon?"
"We actually saw a red moon..."
Soon, the crimson moon before them gradually lost its blood-red hue, revealing its bright and serene form.
The residents of City of Silver were increasingly confused, not knowing what had happened.
Derrick Berg, who had heard about the external situation from members of the Tarot Club such as " The Hanged Man " and " Justice," was even more astonished and surprised than they were, because this was a natural phenomenon that did not exist outside of the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
A few seconds later, the Moon disappeared, and deep darkness once again engulfed everything, with frequent lightning becoming the main source of light.
What just happened?
Did you see that red blob?
" The Moon! That's the Moon!"
"That's the Crimson Moon!"
"Is this a sign that we're about to escape our current predicament?"
"Will our second exploration of the ' Giant King's Court ' go smoothly and open the door to the outside world?"
Amidst confusion and bewilderment, most residents of City of Silver subconsciously regarded this phenomenon as a good thing, a favorable omen in the mystical realm Colin Iliad, Elder Lovia of the Council of Six, and others wore solemn expressions with furrowed brows.
Above the gray-white mist, inside the ancient palace.
Having roughly figured out Amon's Deceit methods, Klein instinctively turned his attention back to the " Concealment " of this gain.
He had some guesses about the relevant content, but when it was actually revealed, he found it to be more terrifying, more exaggerated, and more despairing than he had imagined:
"The fact that I was able to get ' Starry Sky ' to notice me means that at least most of the Concealment Amon revealed are true..."
"Above Sequence 0, there really is another level. This should be the rank of the Ancient The Sun God, but his state seems to be not quite right. He was betrayed and fell into disintegration."
"... According to Amon, describing this level as ' Creator ' is not accurate enough; He is named ' Above the Sequence '... There are also those who use ' Beyond the Sequence ' to describe that rank, indicating liberation from the limitations of Beyonder Pathway?"
"... The gods refer to this rank as ' Great Old One,' ' Outer Deity,' ' Starry Sky '... From this, we can see two things: First, in the vast universe outside this world, in that boundless Starry Sky, there exist ' Great Old One,' ' Outer Deity,' that is, beings at the level of ' Creator,' such as the one who encompasses the Moon..."
"... The brown and orange stars appear to be the original planets, but they have changed so much that even Emperor Roselle could not recognize them... Is this because ' the Great Old One ' or ' Outer Deity ' reside on them, watching over our world?"
"... The ' Great Old One ' in ' The Box of the Great Old One ' comes from the mutation caused by the ' Starry Sky ' being corrupted..."
"... Hmm, there's probably more than one ' Great Old One ' or ' Outer Deity '... Why are they all around this planet? What are they spying on?"
"... They didn't directly invade because they had a power that temporarily isolated the inside from the outside?"
"... This comes from the Seven Gods?"
"... Considering the prophecy of the end of the Apocalypse 1368, the Seven Gods may not have played the most crucial role; they had not yet Beyond the Sequence... When the true barrier disappears in 1368, the ' Great Old One ' or ' Outer Deity ' will no longer be obstructed, and then, the Apocalypse will arrive?"
Thinking about this, some questions that had been accumulating in Klein's mind suddenly flashed through his mind:
Why would the " Evernight Goddess " risk instigating a divine war to seize the " Uniqueness " of the " Death's " path?
Why would the Seven Gods tacitly allow the emergence of a " Black Emperor "?
Why have the Angel King like Adam and Amon emerged from behind the scenes and taken center stage in this era after countless years of silence?
Why are the remnants of the ancient gods from the Second Age appearing one after another?
Why were there only one "time traveler" sent down from " Sefirah Castle " in the first four eras, but two in the fifth era, which is only a little over a thousand years old?
Sigh, whether it's good or bad, everyone's striving to improve themselves in preparation for the Apocalypse... Is the goddess, such a master strategist, choosing such a risky method to Beyond the Sequence and become one of the " Great Old One "? There are only a dozen years left; time waits for no one... Is Her secret support for me also driven by similar expectations? Adam could have easily defeated me at least twice, but he didn't. Besides the fact that I don't really have any major grudges against Him, is that also a factor? Klein lightly tapped the edge of the weathered long table and muttered to himself:
"Is the key to becoming an ' Great Old One ' or an ' Outer Deity ' one of the nine Sefirah?"
Looking around the empty " Sefirah Castle," Klein sighed and muttered to himself:
"We'll have to see the second ' Blasphemy Slate ' to find out the specifics, but unfortunately, we don't know when that opportunity will come..."
He quickly turned his attention to other things:
I wonder if the Ancient The Sun God ever fully Beyond the Sequence... If a native " Great Old One " truly was born, Apocalypse comes, humanity will at least have a sliver of hope... His fall is more complex than I imagined...
No wonder Emperor Roselle said that only Sequence 0 could preserve himself and protect those he cared about...
Have those " Great Old One " or " Outer Deity " infiltrated our ranks with their power?
Well, considering that the seven righteous gods and evil gods such as the " True Creator " are hostile to the " The Moon Primordial " and the " Mother Tree of Desire," their true forms might be the " Great Old One " or " Outer Deity "...
No wonder the " Mother Tree of Desire " could directly mislead my Divination above the Gray Fog; it is the most dangerous existence in my understanding!
I understand what those " Great Old One " and " Outer Deity " are trying to gain by gathering around this world...
They probably want to obtain the nine " Sefirah," and destroying the world is just a side effect...
Thinking of this, Klein suddenly remembered a line spoken by the " Mother Tree of Desire " through Cynthia:
"General, I want to have a child with you."
Klein couldn't help but shudder, seriously considering his safety upon returning to the real world.
He already had some understanding of the " Starry Sky," and as long as he subconsciously turned to the corresponding thoughts, he would directly establish a connection with those " Great Old One " and " Outer Deity," and be brutally corrupted!
If " Sefirah Castle " hadn't severed the previous connection, I wouldn't have dared to return to reality... Klein thought for a moment and decided to ask his Psychiatrist, " Justice," to help him Hypnosis himself, sealing the relevant information deep in his subconscious, so that he could only remember it when he saw the pre-set prompts.
He originally intended to directly summon the projection of " Justice " within the Historical Void to do this, but considering that this was a delicate task, if the Manipulator did not have a deep understanding of the mental realm, there was a high possibility of some oversights, and once there were oversights, the eyes of the " Great Old One " and the " Outer Deity " would be cast upon him.
Phew, remember to have Miss " Justice " Hypnosis herself to forget this matter as well... Klein considered it for a while, then transformed the corresponding request into a stream of light and cast it into the crimson star representing " Justice ".
Not long after finishing breakfast, Audrey, the " Justice," who hadn't yet left home, arrived above the Gray Fog.
The bronze table has disappeared; instead, a desk and two chairs have been placed inside the ancient palace.
"Mr. 'World,' what is it that you want to forget this time?" Audrey asked the most crucial question, looking at Gehrman Sparrow sitting opposite her.
Klein rubbed his temples and, in a deep voice, recited the Concealment " Starry Sky," " the Great Old One," and " Outer Deity."
Upon hearing this, " Justice " Audrey's eyes widened little by little, as if she had been invaded by an evil god.
After Klein finished speaking, she remained silent for several seconds, then said in the same low voice, slightly bewildered:
Is this the truth about the Apocalypse?
"Even the Seven Gods can't save us?"
Before Klein could respond, Audrey gave a self-deprecating laugh:
I thought everything I've been doing lately was meaningful...
"I thought the worst news I could imagine was the defeat of Loen and the destruction of the Church..."
"But compared to the Concealment you told me, all of this is so insignificant."
