Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 170 The Madness of the Curtain Call

412
Thunder exploded in the sky, and the almost suffocating aura of the demigod weighed heavily on everyone's mind. Even the naval battle came to a brief halt.

"The important item of the sea snake has been obtained by the Storm Church..."

"Just now it seems that 'Jarn Kautman' went to the spirit world and was blocked by Kalvetuwa, and then he fought back..."

Agaritu was slightly startled. The action of Bayam's local forces was faster than he thought. According to his own calculations, this critical node should occur at least 12 hours later, and the tsunami would have enough time to cleanse the entire Bayam.

The "likelihood" prediction was wrong? I didn't see that branch at the time!

Is there something beyond my expectation happening on Bayam? A sealed object that holds the will of a true god?
Now we have reached a critical point, and the only outcome after this is that Kalvetuva will die completely today.

"It's no use." Agaritu said disappointedly, "Die soon."

Thunder and lightning rumbled in response, and Kalvetuwa's desperate howl appeared in his ears.

He saw blue sea snakes falling from the clouds into the sea. The death of the demigod caused the entire sea to go into a frenzy. Even if Yann Kautman took action to suppress it in time, the huge tsunami would hit the surrounding islands and cause at least 100,000 casualties.

It was just right to use this "ending" to determine whether Bayam really had a Level 0 Sealed Artifact, or whether there were any God-favored Ones secretly operating.

He turned his gaze back to Bernadette. After a moment of silence, the naval battle began again, with the sound of swords clashing incessantly.

The sailors from the Devil's Path rushed into the team, which was mainly composed of "Secret Peeps" and mixed with other routes, like a meat grinder rushing into the crowd. The "Death Announcer" cooperated with his superior to continuously use his whispering ability to hinder Bernadette, making it impossible for her to return to defense.

However, the subordinates of the "Mysterious Queen" were also well-trained. After suffering heavy losses in the first wave of attacks, they quickly divided into several small teams, simulated the ability of close combat, and cooperated with the magic of the Secret Peepers to deal with the sailors. Soon, both sides suffered casualties.

There is nothing to gain from this ship, and it is not the "Dawn". Even if they are defeated, no substantial benefits or fame can be obtained unless the "Mysterious Queen" is killed here.

The sailors of the Undead King charged in mainly out of their bloodthirsty instincts. When they realized that this attack would not yield much, they began to become lazy. Therefore, Bernadette still chose to defend with defensive magic.

"Killing you right here is a good option."

Agaritu said thoughtfully: "I like to see the separation of life and death. Your heartless father may mourn for you."

"Do you know where He is going?"

Bernadette continued to use mysterious magic to confuse the "Death Announcement" and its crew while gritting her teeth and yelling at Agaritu.

Is He really not dead? Is He still alive somewhere in the world, hidden away?
"Where on earth did you get the method to decipher the Roselle language?!"

She even felt jealous because of this. The Immortal King could read Roselle's diary skillfully, so he should at least be proficient in the interpretation of this kind of Chinese characters! Why didn't she, Roselle's eldest daughter, know so much about this? !
Agaritu caught this trace of jealousy and resentment, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a happy but sinister smile:
"I can tell you how to decipher it, Your Highness."

"When it's just me and your grave."

……

"'Sea King' has taken action!"

Klein, who was already standing on top of Bayam, felt awe in his heart.

After taking in the entire thunderstorm, the people around them had already knelt on the ground spontaneously, silently chanting the honorific name of the Lord of Storms. This shock did not belong to humans, but could only be the power of gods. Some extraordinary people also gained a fragile faith at this moment, and spontaneously prayed to the Lord of Storms or Cardinal Yann Cotman.

It looks like Aquaman will win... but I'm still worried...

Klein looked around. In the pouring rain, the empty high ground was already full of people. Half of Bayam had been submerged by the sea, and the sea level was still rising. In the cave in the distance, he vaguely saw the local rebels trying to sell him the holy sword for the "Sea God" to take over the body, Edmonton in a wheelchair, and the fierce-looking Karat.

Standing in the cave with them were bronze-skinned natives wearing tabara shirts. They also had their eyes closed and were praying, but it was hard to say who they were praying to.

Klein thought that the object of their prayers should be the Sea God Kalvetuwa. However, he felt that after seeing with his own eyes how Kalvetuwa tortured Bayam, it would be somewhat irrational to continue to believe in him.

He took out a coin, paused for two seconds, and then put it away.

Danitz was in a daze when he suddenly felt a cold gaze falling on his back. He turned his head sweating profusely, only to see Gehrman Sparrow looking at him with a knife-like gaze.

The big pirate, worth more than 4,000 pounds, smiled apologetically:
"What do you need me to do?"

Seeing that he had lowered his posture so quickly, Klein was deeply relieved. This expression of anger but not words also made him want to laugh.

Using his Joker ability to control his expression, Hermann gave the order expressionlessly:
"Step aside."

Danitz moved quickly and gave up his position to German.

They stood by the wall, with the eaves above their heads to keep out the rain, and Danitz happened to have his back against the wall.

Hermann was very frugal with his words: "Turn around."

Danitz didn't dare to ask any more questions and turned around quickly.

Klein quickly took four steps backwards and reached the position vacated by Nitz. He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, seemingly resting his eyes, but in fact he rushed to the Sefirah Castle.

Danitz waited for a while, and when he saw that Hermann didn't say anything, he mustered up the courage to turn around and take a look. He saw Hermann leaning against the wall with his arms folded to rest. Of course, he didn't dare to disturb him, nor did he dare to approach him. He just stood quietly beside him.

On another high ground a few streets away, a blue-haired man suddenly turned his head.

The "faceless puppet" with Alger's appearance noticed the fleeting breath and realized that it was the breath of the high-ranking person that had attracted it before. It walked nervously and carefully among the crowded crowd and began to approach the location of the breath.

413
Above the gray fog, in the mysterious Sefirah Castle, Klein sat in the main seat, interlaced his fingers, and held his chin.
After pondering for a moment, he took out the topaz pendulum.

How should I phrase the divination question this time… “When will the disaster end?” No, “disaster” is not clear enough. If it only refers to the natural disasters that occurred in Bayam, I would probably get a rather vague answer, or even fail the divination. The question I want to know most is “What is Kalvetuva’s current state?” It looks like it can still hold on for a while, but it will fall sooner or later. And after failing to possess me, it seems to have given up, not caring about even its own believers, and may make a move to perish together at any time.

Then, should I try to divine "what can I do in this disaster"? Haha, the answer to this divination involves myself and Sefirah Castle, so it's probably hard to get an effective answer...

Klein sat in silence for a while, then he materialized a pen and a piece of paper and quickly wrote a line of words.

"The state of the resistance in the next few hours".

He didn't even dare to write about Bayam, because Bayam currently had at least three demigods. If one of them could use extraordinary items to sense his divination, then he would be doomed.

The rebels were very close to them. If anything happened to the crowd, they would not be able to escape either. They could be considered a microcosm of the people of Bayam.

After confirming that there were no mistakes in the divination, he closed his eyes and fell into a dream.

The world of dreams was gray and his spirit was traveling, carried by instinct and spirituality to fly in front of a series of broken pictures.

He saw Kalvetuwa appear in the real world, just above Bayam.

The camera switched to show the rebels praying frantically, and then they quickly went mad and died.

He saw the sea serpent rushing towards the church in the storm, and its huge body razed the buildings within a radius of several kilometers to the ground in an instant.

He saw the sea serpent finally fall into the sea, stirring up huge waves tens of meters high.

…After seeing so many negative images, Klein opened his eyes and stared at the high dome of Sefirah Castle in silence.

"Is there no way to stop it?" he said to himself.

Among so many scenes, what made him feel more difficult was that these things seemed to happen in the near future. A clock tower appeared in his dream, and he vaguely saw the hour hand pointing to twelve o'clock.

It's almost ten o'clock now...

In two hours, Kalvetuwa will be dead, and Bayam will be destroyed in the disaster.

Relax a bit, there are still at least two hours left...

Suddenly, his spirituality was slightly touched, and he felt a chill somewhere in his heart. Klein realized something and immediately returned to reality.

As expected, when he opened his eyes, he saw the demigod with a snake tail looking at him. Danitz stood beside him, not daring to breathe.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but this time he seemed to feel a strange "awe" from the snake-tailed demigod.

He looked around and saw that no one around him was paying attention to him, and some of them dispersed because of the inexplicable coldness. He maintained Gehrman's serious and cold expression and asked the snake-tailed demigod in a low voice:
"Any news?"

The snake-tailed demigod nodded, then stretched out his hand and touched Klein's forehead.

Klein immediately heard the gentle voice of Azik Eggers:

"...Based on the knowledge I can recall, I can provide two methods. The first method requires sufficient prerequisites, that is, the item that belongs to you or someone else is with the 'Sea God' Kalvetuwa. This can be easily located with the help of divination... The other prerequisite is that you can enter the spirit world. I have enough skills in this regard. The following are three commonly used methods...

"The second method is to use the 'Secret Ceremony' to pray to the 'Red Light' El Moria. He represents power and will, and to some extent, he possesses knowledge related to spiritual creatures and places in the spiritual world..."

After a few paragraphs were played, the snake-tailed demigod withdrew his bony hand and stood there, waiting for his answer.

Mystic recorder… Klein couldn’t help but think.

It turns out that the "red light" of the seven pure lights is called El Moria... The principle of the secret ceremony is to adjust one's own state, let go of the body and mind, and let oneself be in harmony with the target of prayer little by little, and finally overlap partially to gain corresponding knowledge. And this harmony and overlap are relative. While I gain knowledge, my own secrets are also open to the target of prayer... I can't trust the "red light" now... I have too many secrets... Klein's first reaction was to rule out the second method.

As for the first option, there was also no possibility of success. Klein did not have any unique items in the hiding place of "Sea God" Kalvetuwa.

“Unless I can use the resistance to send something to Kalvetua, or find the original owner of the items that the Poseidon believers once sacrificed, and it must be exclusive... send something to Kalvetua..." As he thought about it, Klein suddenly had an idea.

He suddenly became alert and thought about it over and over again, and thought that there was a certain probability of success.

The expression on Hermann's face relaxed a little. He nodded towards the Serpent Tailed Demigod and said from the bottom of his heart:
"Thank you for the timely intelligence."

"Please also thank Mr. Azik for me." He quickly added: "Maybe I will need your help later."

I'm not so arrogant as to deal with Kalvetuva alone! Klein secretly complained to himself, it would be a waste not to summon a ready-made demigod!
The snake-tailed demigod nodded as if in return, and when he saw that Klein had nothing else to say, he disappeared from the spot.

He looked at Danitz, who stood up straight in an instant: "What's the matter?"

"Do you know the corresponding prayer for 'Sea God'?" Klein asked without any fluctuation in his tone.

He scratched his hair, wrung the water out of his clothes, and smiled, "Yes, I have seen the resistance perform ceremonies several times. Uh... specifically, 'The Blessed One of the Sea and the Spirit World, the Protector of the Rorsted Archipelago, the Ruler of Undersea Creatures, the Master of Tsunamis and Storms, the Great Kalvetuwa'. Oh, and the two times that it worked were when I chanted it in Elvish."

The favored one of the sea and the spirit world... you are very humble... it is fundamentally different from my honorable name... yes, I made it up by imitating the seven true gods... Klein nodded lightly and said:
"Do you know where there are unoccupied warehouses or abandoned houses?"

"Of course! Every big pirate has some of them." Danitz responded without hesitation.

Klein immediately replied:
"take me."

What to do? Although Danitz was puzzled, he did not dare to ask.

Danitz walked in front, and they gradually moved away from the crowd and headed towards the dock area which was partially submerged by the sea.

At this moment, Klein's eyes widened slightly. He saw a familiar figure—blue hair, rugged face, it was none other than Mr. "The Hanged Man" with whom he had worked once before.

How did the "Hanged Man" appear here? The Church of Storms should have sent a team to actively search for Kalvetuwa. Perhaps because his sequence was too low, they were responsible for protecting and evacuating people...

Klein thought about it and walked past The Hanged Man without changing his expression. As he passed by him, he asked:
"Has the Storm Church made any progress?"

The Hanged Man followed Klein's gaze. After being questioned, he paused for a second and then made a "contemplative" expression:

"I don't know..."

For some reason, Klein felt that Mr. Hanged Man was not as smooth and at ease as before. However, Bayam was in danger, so it was normal for him to have some abnormalities. And since he was here, it proved that he was not selected into the Storm Church's Mandated Punisher Operations Team. It was normal for him not to know... German said calmly:
"See you later, at the old place."

He wanted to know more about these things.

Upon hearing this, the "Hanged Man" immediately raised his head in "doubt and surprise", then nodded: "Okay."

At this time, Danitz had already walked five or six meters away and did not notice that German had not caught up. Klein said goodbye to the Hanged Man with his eyes, then quickly flashed behind Danitz, and the two of them walked away quickly.

The "Hanged Man" stared in the direction they were leaving until their backs disappeared.

It murmured:
"He didn't see through me..."

A smile appeared on the face of the "Hanged Man" and it happily turned around on the spot. Its expression became visibly lively.

——Just like the Beyonder’s “performance”, as long as his disguise is not discovered, the “faceless puppet” will become more like a human.

To use the words of the foreign gods, it is just like the "asking for a title" in the legends of the old days.

Animals that have cultivated into spirits will pretend to be human-like, approach humans in dark environments, and ask others: "Do I look like a human?"

If the human answers, "You look like a human," then the spirit will succeed in getting the title and will smoothly transform into a human form.

It said happily: "He didn't see through me! I look like a human!"

The next second, the smile on its face disappeared again: "I don't know where the old place is. I can't go there."

After feeling regretful for a moment, it turned around and walked towards the crowd in the distance with smooth movements but a slight pause.

In the process, its appearance began to change and it became an unattractive local.

414
In a ruin that existed in both the spirit world and reality, Kalvetuwa screamed and slammed his body into the surrounding buildings.

The priests had been turned into pulp in the indiscriminate attack, and their extraordinary characteristics flew up and merged into its body, accelerating its collapse.

Failed!
Failed!
Abandoned!

It was injured by Yann Kautman's thunderstorm and begged for help, but the only answer it received was "Go to hell soon."

This sentence echoed repeatedly in its brain, which was no longer able to think. Although it could not understand the meaning of it at all and its self-awareness had long since weakened to the point of non-existence, there were still some residual instincts in this huge body. These instincts made it furious because of its own failure, and took its anger out on everything around it.

boom! boom!
The ruins kept shaking and the stone pillars collapsed one after another.

The prayers echoing in its mind made its anger and irritability even worse. It didn't understand what these little ants were chirping about. It just wanted to destroy, destroy, destroy everything, destroy the demigod that was blocking it, and then destroy itself!
At this moment, a prayer voice kept echoing and amplifying. Close at hand, a small ant was chanting his own name and wanted to offer a sacrifice.

At this point, no sacrifice could please the frantic god of death, not even living sacrifices.

It wanted to ignore it, but it couldn't bear the prayers one after another. Then, it felt a distant breath, ethereal and powerful - the spirit world! It was the breath of the spirit world!

Survival was the top priority now. As it was about his own safety, Kalvetuwa's mushy brain suddenly started to think again. He responded to the prayer without hesitation, eager to enjoy the offerings from the spirit world. A few drops of spiritual blood flew up, but they were not enough to moisten his throat.

More, more! Under the threat of death, it controlled its huge body to try to pass through the narrow sacrifice entrance. The scene was very ridiculous, just like a person trying his best to stretch his arm forward to get something that fell under the sofa.

But it couldn't reach the man no matter what, so it enlarged the entrance to the spirit world and tried to stick its head through.

……

The huge gasps and roars were getting closer and closer, and the water flow that appeared out of nowhere instantly turned the abandoned warehouse into the center of a whirlpool, and everything was swept up and thrown towards Kalvetuwa's open mouth.

At the same time, silver-white lightning had already filled the entire warehouse along the water flow. The appearances of Danitz and German were similar to that of Ellan who was struck by lightning. They looked embarrassed but funny, and funny but scary.

In order to maintain his image, Klein tried his best to control his flesh and blood and to straighten his hair, which had been blown into a sea urchin shape.

Little did he know that Danitz had seen this scene. He was greatly shocked by the fact that Hermann did not forget to personally prepare his remains even before his death.

Klein, who had only wanted to sacrifice his cigarette box to test the waters, was also frightened by the scene, but as a crazy adventurer, he couldn't show his weakness, so he had to bite the bullet and go ahead! Under Danitz's awed and terrified gaze, Gehrman was sucked into the air by the huge suction force, and flew towards the huge mouth involuntarily. His figure flashed repeatedly in the air, turning into a paper figure, but he could never escape the terrifying suction force.

Finally, Klein made up his mind, stomped his feet heavily into the ground, and took out the whistle from his pocket with difficulty and blew it hard!
The snake-tailed demigod came upon summons, and when he arrived he flew straight towards Kalvetua's mouth, hovering in confusion for half a second before he began to resist.

Klein waved his hand, grabbed the snake-tailed demigod's tailbone, and shouted, "Go in!"

The demigod looked at Kalvetua, then at Klein, and flapped his wings. A large number of feathers covered with yellow oil were shaken off and rolled into Kalvetua's mouth. Having used up a lot of the spiritual power of the God of Death at once, it suddenly became weaker, and its suction power weakened a lot.

The colors around began to become bright, and a cold white flame ignited on the body of the snake-tailed demigod, rushing directly into the bloody mouth of the sea snake like a cannonball!

The sacrificial door closed instantly.

Danitz, who was sucked into the air and clung to the door frame, suddenly fell to the ground. He stared blankly at the place where German disappeared, and the last scene echoed in his mind. He couldn't help but shouting: "Madman! Madman!!!"

"Now there is no place to collect the bodies!!"

After saying that, he jumped up and ran out of the warehouse quickly. Not long after, he ran back at an even faster speed, collected the candles and materials used in the sacrificial ceremony and burned them, then ran away from the half-sunken dock area.

Ten minutes after he left the warehouse, a huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky and smashed the warehouse into pieces.

……

In the underwater ruins.

Kalvetua's huge body froze, its mouth open, its eyes dull, and its scales rapidly losing their luster.

Its throat began to swell, stretching to the point where a large ball of flame could be vaguely seen under its almost transparent skin. After expanding to its limit, its throat exploded with a bang, and pale flames swept across everything in the ruins, causing all once living objects to quickly shrivel and age.

Kalvetua's body exploded into two pieces, and the snake-tailed demigod walked out with Klein.

This is the lair of the "Sea God"... Klein saw the remains of the stone pillars at a glance and felt a little emotional.

There were no living creatures around. This adventure was very fruitful. He began to wait for the extraordinary characteristics of "Poseidon" to emerge.

But he didn't know that, unlike the calm seabed, the rainstorm and tide outside suddenly stopped at the same time at this moment.

Starting from directly above the ruins, earthquake waves spread at an alarming speed, the ripples continued to expand, spreading in circles, and the tides accumulated wave by wave, becoming larger and larger, and more and more terrifying. After the sudden silence, the sea surface fluctuated violently, presenting waves as big as mountain peaks.

The Sea King responded in time and suppressed the riots in the sea areas within reach, so they swept all areas except Bayam at an extremely fast speed.

The ships on the sea bore the brunt of the attack. The pirate kings once again stopped fighting. Bernadette's spirit, which was being slowly devoured, suddenly rioted, stabbing her temple painfully.

The Deathly Hallows could not fly after all, and when the two ships were pushed apart by the waves, many people on both sides were swept away. These excellent sailors disappeared in the dark sea without a single bubble.

The battle could not continue, but Agaritu was in a good mood. He ordered the "Death Announcement" to retreat to the spirit world for refuge, and sneered at Bernadette:
"Bernadette Gustave, behold the disaster you are chasing."

"This is my reward to you."

Hearing this, Bernadette's pupils shrank suddenly.

In recent days, it seems that there is only one update, but in fact there are two updates.

Tsunami is so well written.

False causality: Wherever there is trouble, there is the world. True causality: Wherever there is decline, there is a big event.
