The Apocalypse... Although " Justice " Audrey had long known about the prophecy of the Apocalypse from the Demigod of the Church of Knowledge, she had never truly grasped its meaning and always felt it was propaganda used to deceive the public.
Even though she had experienced a war in which she was extremely insignificant, she did not believe that the world was only a dozen years away from the Apocalypse.
There wasn't even a hint!
However, the one who is now making the Apocalypse prophecy is Mr. The Fool's Blessed, the ever-trustworthy Mr. World, who dares to plot against Angel, and his tone is so certain, as if he has truly seen what will happen more than a decade from now.
This made Audrey instinctively choose to believe, her heart suddenly sinking, feeling both nervous and flustered.
Besides these, she also felt her confusion subside considerably— the Apocalypse was only a little over a decade away, and even a drowning person would struggle, let alone a Sequence 4 Demigod in perfect condition.
The Apocalypse... As a cardinal of the Church of Storms, " The Hanged Man " Alger has recently seen many Apocalypse prophecies, but those unverifiable things are nothing compared to the unusually solemn reminder from "The World" Gehrman Sparrow. The impact of the two is simply not on the same level.
At the same time, he also keenly noticed a detail: the "world" said that even gods would be destroyed.
Alger's first reaction was that Gehrman Sparrow was disrespectful to Mr. The Fool, since Mr. The Fool was also a deity.
But he quickly dismissed the idea. After all, "The World" Gehrman Sparrow was Blessed of " The Fool " and his most devout believer. While other members of the Tarot Club might have a chance of inadvertently blaspheming " The Fool " in their words, it was absolutely impossible for "The World" Gehrman Sparrow to do so.
Based on the premises that " Gehrman Sparrow would not disrespect Mr. The Fool " and "he said that even gods would perish," Alger the Hanged Man, quickly arrived at another conclusion:
In the mind of "World" Gehrman Sparrow, Mr. " The Fool " is superior to the true God!
This... Alger never doubted the insight of "The World" Gehrman Sparrow, after all, he was a powerful figure who frequently dealt with Angel.
This realization both surprised and puzzled him, and he couldn't find a more reasonable explanation for the time being.
Having ascended to Demigod with the blood of the " Snake of Fate," the " The Hermit " Cattleya, whose corresponding Sequence 3 title is " Prophet," occasionally dreams of Apocalypse scenes. Coupled with the occasional reminders from the " Mystery Queen " Bernadette, she did not feel surprised or shocked by Mr. World's words, but rather felt as if the dust that had been raised had finally settled on the ground.
This " Mystic " is equally confused about the future, unsure of which direction to focus his efforts on besides improving himself.
The Apocalypse... " Judgement " Hugh and " Magician " Fors exchanged a glance across the " The Hermit " lady, sensing the turbulent waves surging in each other's hearts.
They never considered that their seemingly wonderful life, barring any unforeseen circumstances, could only last for a decade or so at most.
At that time, they were in the prime of their lives, and even if they had not yet become Demigod, they did not need to worry too much about the tendency to lose control due to physical Aging.
Because the speaker was "The World" Gehrman Sparrow, neither of the two ladies doubted the truth of the Apocalypse prophecy; they were both filled with fear and unease.
At first, " The Sun " Derrick was somewhat frustrated, because City of Silver had just left the Apocalypse Forsaken Land of the Gods and come to the world of light, only to face a new Apocalypse soon.
He quickly adjusted his mindset and chose to believe in Mr. The Fool.
If this great being could save City of Silver from the Forsaken Land of the Gods, then he can also prevent the Apocalypse of the world.
Although I am the savior of the Sanguine during the Apocalypse, I never imagined that the Apocalypse would come so soon... I am only an earl... " The Moon " Emlyn couldn't help but frown slightly, like a student who had only been in class for a few days and was suddenly about to take an exam.
Of course, this also excited him a bit, after all, he would soon be fulfilling his mission and showing his greatness to his people.
Leonard, nicknamed " The Star," had heard about the Apocalypse prophecy from the Old Man Pallez Zoroast. Although he didn't know why things were developing this way, he was somewhat prepared. He was the first to come to his senses and asked:
Why would the Apocalypse suddenly come? There haven't been any signs at all...
Klein responded by Manipulation the dummy "World":
"You just didn't notice the signs."
"Do you really think a war of gods would break out without any reason?"
Seeing that all the members of the Tarot Club were stunned and deep in thought, "The World" Gehrman Sparrow added:
"You are not qualified to know the specific reasons for now. Even just knowing about them will bring about irresistible pollution. Only beings of Angel and above can possibly resist it."
This is similar to what that Demigod from the Church of Knowledge said... and it's close to the pollution of the Starry Sky... I seem to have forgotten something... Mr. "World" seems to have understood the whole story... He's not afraid of being polluted? He, he's already Angel? Is it Him? " Justice " Audrey's mind flashed through one thought after another, keenly sensing that "World" Gehrman Sparrow may have completed his ascension and become a true Mythical Creature.
In ancient times, this could even be described as coming from the gods, being a member of the divine!
Immediately afterwards, members of the Tarot Club, including " The Hanged Man " Alger and " The Hermit " Cattleya, deciphered the truth, realizing that "The World" Gehrman Sparrow had reached the pinnacle of the real world and become Angel walking on earth.
Some speculated that this was related to Gehrman Sparrow's previous plot against a Mythical Creature, while others believed it was a further benefit brought to the Blessed by Mr. The Fool's resurrection.
But regardless, for the first time, Tarot Club have members with Angel status, excluding the host and convener!
Of course, they weren't too surprised by "World" Gehrman Sparrow's advancement to Sequence 2; they had long since become numb to it.
Klein Manipulation the "world," making him look around and say:
"You can think carefully about what you plan to do next and how you intend to do it."
" Judgement " Hugh and " Magician " Fors, along with other members of the Tarot Club, nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.
After another ten minutes or so of free discussion, the Tarot Gathering gradually came to an end.
Back in the real world, Hugh looked around his bedroom, his expression gradually hardening.
She felt that urgency again.
As Hugh stepped out of the room, he saw Fors arrive in the hallway at the same time, no longer lingering for a while as usual before coming out.
"Where are you planning to go?" they both asked at the same time, then fell silent.
A few seconds later, a handsome young man emerged from another guest room. He wore narrow-rimmed glasses, had slightly tousled hair, and was carrying several thick books in his arms.
"Oh no, I forgot I have class this afternoon!" the boy muttered to himself as he rushed towards the stairwell, completely ignoring the two ladies.
He is Hugh's younger brother, Law Derecha, who has just started attending a school for the Lawyer exam.
--In Backlund, one must first pass a preparatory exam before becoming a trainee Lawyer. Trainee Lawyer then need to study and work under a senior Lawyer for at least five years before being allowed to take the qualifying exam and obtain Lawyer's license.
If you want to go further and become a top Lawyer, you must attend Backlund Lawyer School for a university education.
Hugh watched his younger brother run down the stairs, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.
She immediately looked up and said to Fors:
"I'm going back to Military Intelligence Section 9 and working hard."
"I plan to go see the teacher," Fors replied to the question from earlier.
Immediately afterwards, the " Traveler's" figure became transparent and disappeared from the spot.
In a matter of seconds, Fors appeared in the reconstructed Pritz Harbor and arrived in front of a house that was still relatively intact.
Then, she took out paper and pen from her hidden pocket, wrote a note, and planned to tell the teacher that she had finished digesting the " Traveler " Potion.
She put away the fountain pen and stuffed the paper into the mailbox by the door.
This was not Dorian Gray Abraham's residence, but the place where Fors and this gentleman had previously agreed to exchange messages.
When Fors returns the next day, he will see the meeting place and time given by Dorian.
Emlyn opened his eyes in his room, changed into his high-collared overcoat, and prepared to visit Marquis Nibes.
As he rode through Rose Street in his carriage, he glanced out the window and was somewhat surprised, yet not entirely unexpected, to find the doors of the Harvest Church open.
After a brief hesitation, he asked the driver to pull over and paid the fare.
Donning a top hat and taking his cane, the Sanguine Count ascended the steps and entered the Harvest Church, where he saw Father Utravsky, who seemed to have grown even taller, bending over as he swept the prayer hall.
They've already been released... It really is protective custody... Emlyn shook his head inwardly.
At this moment, Father Utravsky raised his head, glanced at him, and said:
Wipe the candlestick clean.
"... I'm trying to please the Mother Goddess," Emlyn muttered, then went to the back room, changed into the brown priest's robe of the Church of Earth, and began to work.
Neither he nor Father Utravsky spoke again, each doing their own thing, trying to restore the Harvest Church to its former purity and tranquility.
After an unknown amount of time, a group of people suddenly entered through the door.
Emlyn glanced over instinctively and saw Baron Kasimi Odora, Viscount Ernes Boyar had once "worked" at the Harvest Church, and a host of familiar faces.
Emlyn's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.
