Klein sat leisurely in the " The Fool's " seat, looked around, and said:
"This is Miss ' Magician,' our newest member."
Then, he looked at Fors and introduced them one by one:
"This is Miss ' Justice,' and this is Mr. ' The Hanged Man '..."
Fors matched the code names with the characters and nodded in greeting, while observing the members:
Miss Justice is a blonde woman who seems quite young, with a very elegant posture; Mr. The Hanged Man has dark blue, messy hair like seaweed, and is not particularly muscular. Although he doesn't talk much, you feel uneasy when he looks at you. He must be the leader of some force... Mr. The Sun seems to be just a teenager, very silent and reserved. Other than that, you can't tell anything else about him. Perhaps he is as weak as I am; Mr. World has a cold, rather gloomy gaze, and he doesn't look like someone to be trifled with... The bestselling Author is making full use of her talents.
As she looked at the other members, they were looking at her in return, with " Justice " Audrey looking the most closely.
"Judging from the figure, it's Miss Hugh. Brown hair, slightly curly, that's Ms. Fors, right? We can't rule out the possibility that Mr. ' The Fool ' pulled someone else. Hmm, the pronunciation and lip movements match, Backlund accent, and the details of the aura and emotional expression are also very similar... Mr. ' The Fool ' wouldn't specifically create an image for his members, would he? He has no need to hide anything..." In just a few seconds of observation, Audrey almost superimposed the blurry figure with the image of Fors in her mind.
Finding another point of leverage would basically confirm it... She waited with great interest to see if her extraordinary abilities could be proven.
At the same time, she felt there was no need for her to reveal her identity to Fors.
"It's better to keep it a secret, hmm... let's see when she finds out!" " Justice " Audrey withdrew her gaze, a faint smile playing on her lips, and quietly observed.
At this moment, since there were no new entries in Roselle's Diary, Klein, Manipulation "the world," spoke:
"I want to know information about the ' Devil ' and ' Guardian ' Sequence."
He was certain that " The Sun " knew the details of Sequence 6 " Devil " because the other party had mentioned " Devil " last time. In order not to expose his investigation of the serial murder case, he deliberately added the Sequence 5 " Guardian " pathway of the " God of Combat " path, which is also known as the " Giant " pathway. This is the mainstream path for Beyonder in City of Silver, and " The Sun " could not possibly be unaware of it.
Klein already knew the detailed characteristics of Sequence 9 " Warrior ", Sequence 8 " Pugilist ", and Sequence 7 " Weapon Master " from the Nighthawks ' internal data. As for Sequence 6 " Dawn Paladin ", he had just learned about it from Father Utravsky. Therefore, the only one he could ask about, who he could afford the price for, and who wouldn't waste his money, was Sequence 5 " Guardian ".
Furthermore, instead of directly asking " The Sun," he issued the request to everyone because, according to the "setting," it was impossible for "The World," who had only recently Tarot Club, to know that City of Silver possessed the " Giant " pathway.
"If it's just the ' Devil ' Sequence, I know a bit about it," Alger the Hanged Man held a certain position in the Church of Storms, interjected.
" The Sun " Derrick Berg glanced at him, stopped thinking, straightened his back, and said:
"I am very familiar with both Sequence."
"My reward is information related to the ' Fallen Creator '."
Whether the two pieces of information are equivalent is for Mr. ' The Fool ' to determine.
At this point, he realized that he had not asked Mr. The Fool for permission, so he quickly turned to look at the person above him and respectfully made a request.
" The Sun," Klein said with a slight chuckle, "This isn't my fault, you asked for it yourself..."
"Can."
Moreover, when it comes to understanding the " True Creator," none of the ladies and gentlemen present are as knowledgeable as I am... He added confidently to himself.
While they were discussing this matter, " Magician " Fors listened in stunned silence:
"Is the ' Devil ' Sequence a ' Devil ' pathway? What Sequence number is it?"
"What path does the ' Guardian ' take? What Sequence number is it?"
"I've never heard of this before..."
"God, they actually want to exchange information about the ' True Creator '!"
"That being is said to be the oldest and most powerful being among the gods."
What kind of organization have I joined?
Having received an affirmative answer from the " The Fool," the "World" said without hesitation:
"Make a deal!"
"I request a private conversation."
I really want to hear it... but I have to be frugal lately. There are still more than two months until the New Year. Hold on, Audrey! " Justice!" Audrey blinked, reluctantly turning her gaze away from the " The Sun."
They were immediately deprived of their sight, hearing, and Spirituality intuition by Klein.
"The World" quickly buried itself in writing down its understanding of the " True Creator " on the materialized paper, including orthodox images such as the "Hanging Giant " and the "Eyes Behind the Curtain of Shadows," as well as information that members of the Aurora Order believed this evil god was the Lord Who Created Everything.
At the end, Klein added his firsthand impressions after coming into contact with the offspring of the evil god, sensing the aura of the gods, and hearing the voice of the " True Creator ":
" Depravity, Distortion, bloody, insane, and evil."
Then, as "Mr. The Fool," he gave his judgment:
"This intelligence is slightly more valuable than the information on the ' Devil ' and ' Guardian ' Sequence, but the difference is not significant."
"Thank you, Mr. ' The Fool,' The Sun." Derrick sincerely accepted the parchment and carefully read it several times from beginning to end.
One of the things he was most concerned about was that the " True Creator " claimed to be the Lord Who Created Everything in the beginning!
Distortion, Depravity, insane... Derrick murmured these words, vaguely seeing the dark tragedy that had shrouded everyone in City of Silver for over two thousand years.
Has the Lord not abandoned us? Perhaps He has gone mad...? " The Sun " Derrick finds himself able to unreservedly examine the " Lord Who Created Everything, the Omniscient and Omnipotent God " worshipped in the City of Silver with blasphemous thoughts.
"You should answer my question now, world," he urged hoarsely.
Derrick suppressed his turbulent and sorrowful thoughts, remained silent for two seconds, and then said:
"Different races of creatures will experience different mutations after consuming the ' Devil ' potion, each with its own characteristics. Which Devil would you like to know about?"
There's actually such a difference? Klein was slightly taken aback.
He immediately realized that his previous thinking had a blind spot!
What if the serial killer wasn't human, but an animal?
Animals that have ingested the Potion will mutate into " Devil " forms!
Step by step, Sequence by Sequence, it transformed into a " Devil "!
Although the probability is very low, and the risk of animals going out of control is far higher than that of humans, there's always the possibility of something "what if"... This must be investigated... But that would create even more problems. Where did the mutated " Devil " obtain the potion and extraordinary materials? It shouldn't be possible for it to have joined the circle of Beyonder humans... Klein remained silent, Manipulation the "world" to say:
"What I want to know is the common characteristic of all kinds of Devil."
" The Sun " Derrick recalled and organized the following knowledge:
"The most terrifying thing about Devil is that if you can inflict fatal harm on him in a very short time and take action, he can sense it, perceive it, and grasp where and from whom the danger comes, so he can target and eliminate or retaliate accordingly."
"This timeframe can range from a few minutes to a day; different Devil have different intuitions."
This ability is a bit scary... but it's not the same as the " Clown's" intuition. It doesn't seem to be used for combat, but rather for detecting the source of danger in advance and taking timely action. It's more like, well, the "whim" ability from the fantasy novels I read in my past life... I wonder if I, with this mysterious space above the Gray Fog, could interfere with or even block this kind of "intuition"? Would Stuart be in some danger...? Klein leaned back in his chair, seemingly uninterested in the topic of the " The Sun " and the "world" being discussed.
Seeing that "the world" showed no surprise, Derrick continued:
"They all possess the ability to grow to enormous sizes, thus breaking free from restraints and temporarily increasing their strength and speed; their skin has mutated, essentially becoming a layer of hard armor, and their blood and flesh can also impede objects, reducing damage; they are immune to most toxins and are not afraid of curses and fire to a certain extent; they are gifted in fire and corruption magic; they are cold-blooded, unperturbed, fearless, possess strong melee combat abilities, and are adept at using various objects to inflict damage."
"Their greatest weakness is their tendency to lose control. Even if they don't, they often exhibit a cold-blooded and cruel madness, easily controlled by desires such as bloodlust and killing."
"Truly powerful, worthy of being called Sequence 6' Devil.' Could it be that among the twenty-two Beyonder Pathway, below the High-Sequence, Sequence 6 or Sequence 7 represents a qualitative leap? Different Sequence differ in this respect, thus becoming the dividing line between the ancient and modern Mid-Sequence respectively... "Klein Manipulation the "world," saying:
"I am very satisfied with your intelligence."
Derrick didn't feign modesty; he nodded and then said:
" Guardian are rarely harmed. Once they enter a guardian state and cease attacking, few below the High-Sequence can break their defenses, regardless of the type of damage. When they attack, their defense is reduced considerably, but it is still far stronger than refined full-body armor."
"Their ' Sword of Dawn,' their ' Storm of Light,' and other extraordinary abilities allow them to inflict damage on any type of Monster."
"They are not deceived by illusions; they can help their companions within a certain range absorb harm and protect them."
As " The Sun " Derrick described it, Klein couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
Compared to the Guardian, the Dawn Paladin's defense is like a child comparing physique and strength to an adult. The Guardian could probably withstand bullets from Steam rifle... In the wars of this era, unless he is targeted by large-caliber artillery, he most likely won't die.
