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

Chapter 236: Collapse and Escape

495
Just by looking directly at the two drops of blood, Colin Iliad and the other two people's bodies began to mutate immediately. Their bodies swelled rapidly, their expressions distorted, and their muscles and swollen limbs began to tear their clothes.

The chief in particular began to uncontrollably reveal the form of a giant mythical creature, his skin turned blue, and his two eyes began to move towards the center, as if they were about to turn into a vertical eye emitting the light of morning.

At this moment, the silver ring once again enveloped the small basement.

After the light disappeared, everything returned to normal. The warrior was still a warrior, he did not mutate into a giant, and there was no sign of damage to his clothes.

The silver-gray-haired baby rubbed his eyes and fell back asleep peacefully. The bloodstains on the swaddling clothes also disappeared.

Derrick held him in his arms in a daze, feeling the cold and terrifying snake transform back into a soft and harmless child.

He was sure that he had indeed received a call from Mr. Fool. He even saw a picture of the sky with seven bright rays of light and towering, unchanging buildings in his spiritual world. The Angel of Destiny transformed into a giant silver snake that coiled around him, looking up as if it was also looking there. Its lower jaw was just above Derrick's head, reminding Derrick of the twisted Amon.

Then, he saw a silvery-white halo appear, and felt something sticky and heavy around him shatter.

As his consciousness returned to his body, Derrick's senses of his surroundings quickly recovered.

He opened his eyes and saw in front of him a candle that was almost burned to the bottom. The wick was holding up a small flame that was swaying in the wind.

Then, he found that the "Chief" had stood beside him at some point, and the tall Haim and Joshua wearing red gloves were two steps behind him with a wary look on their faces.

How long have they been looking at me like this... Derrick found an excuse in an instant, but he still felt guilty and nervous.

Although the miracle of the "Angel of Destiny"'s arrival had benefited all of Silver City, and the Chief's physical condition had returned to the state it was about thirty years ago, Colin was still an old man over a hundred years old.

There was no expression on his heavily wrinkled face. He looked at Derrick Berg and asked in a normal voice:
"What happened to you just now?"

Derrick didn't answer immediately, as that would have made it seem like he had already prepared a story. He followed the trick taught by The Hanged Man and paused for a few seconds, then spoke incoherently as if recalling and describing the story:

"After entering the basement, I saw the altar. I suspected it was an altar. I tried to distinguish the words and symbols left on it and recognized three names, including the 'Angel of Destiny' (considering that the Angel of Destiny was right next to him, Derrick did not say His name)... At this time, the light of the lantern went out. When I looked back, Haim and Joshua were gone. I created a light source and walked out of the basement to check. I found that it was still Afternoon Town outside, but there were still candles lit in many houses there, as if, as if there were still humans living there..."

"I didn't dare to leave the house. I went back to the basement and tried to do what I had done before. Uh, Chief, the text on the altar in the town that afternoon was very complete. There were three types of text. One was Giant language, one was Dragon language, and the other one I didn't recognize. But the first two expressed the same meaning. They were the titles and names of the three angels, as well as 'Redemption Rose'..."

"Then I saw the silver ring, and I came back here."

Everything he said was true, complete even, except for the detail about praying to Mr. Fool.

When they heard the word "silver ring", Haim and Joshua subconsciously looked at the child in Derrick's arms. Colin nodded slightly, walked to the altar, and tried everything Derrick had described, but he did not disappear out of thin air and remained standing there.

"It seems that the remaining power has completed its mission." The "Demon Hunter" whispered to himself.

I don't even need to make up excuses... Derrick thought with some shame.

Colin thought for a moment and turned his head to look at Derrick:
"What are the titles of Medici and Sasriel?"

“The Red Angel and the Dark Angel.” Derrick did not hide it.

Colin nodded slightly as if he was thinking:
"In those few books, there is a mention of the 'Red Angel', but there is no specific name. As for the 'Dark Angel' Sasriel, he has completely disappeared in the long history."

Derrick was just about to ask about the remaining Angel Kings when he suddenly saw the candlelight at the entrance to the basement dim, as if shadows were pouring in from outside.

"Let's leave here first." Demon Hunter Colin also noticed something and said cautiously.

……

After exchanging glances with the Angel of Destiny at Sefirah Castle, Klein miraculously did not feel any nervousness or anxiety.

"Maybe it's because of the real Creator. When I think about the fact that I'm about to meet the Creator, I subconsciously feel that His angels are nothing to be afraid of... He seems to be persistent in wanting to talk to me, but my only value to a god is Sefirah Castle, and I am just an accessory..."

"I don't know what happened to the little 'Sun', but at the next Tarot meeting, he will definitely share the details of this exploration with everyone."

He sighed, leaned back in his high-backed chair, and tapped his fingers on the edge of the long bronze table.

"I had originally decided to postpone this matter as much as possible, at least until I had my revenge on Ince Zangwill."

"A few years should be a short time for a god. Why is He so anxious? Is it always like this?"

"Well, anyway, now that it's over... I really should think about what happens after my revenge is over. Just think of it as giving myself something to look forward to."

Klein smiled bitterly. The part of him that belonged to Zhou Mingrui was aching slightly, but he had long since recognized the reality that the passage of time and the operation of the world would not be affected by his personal will.

If it is gone, it is gone. If it does not exist, it does not exist.

I've cried enough, and I have to accept it even if I don't want to. What's more, there are still too many things I haven't done.

When he first came to this world, he naively thought, "Although it was a little sudden, I am also a chosen one who traveled through time." But until he saw the map and heard those words and the truth, Klein realized that he was indeed the chosen one, who was chosen and thrown into this strange world. The real creator was also a chosen one, but he was just one with worse luck.

“Looking back now, the ‘Ashes of Saint Selina’ at that time was the legacy of Saint Selina’s Beyonder characteristic, which means that ‘Corpse Collector’ and ‘Sleepless One’ are adjacent pathways. It’s been so long, Ince Zangwill must have already become a demigod…”

Klein laughed at himself, then comforted himself.

"I am now at Sequence 5. All I need to cross the threshold of being a demigod is digestion and potion formula. I can definitely catch up with Ince Zangwill. As long as I become a demigod, with the help of Sefirah Castle and the items in my hand, I will definitely be able to kill him!"

"By then, after my long-cherished wish for revenge is fulfilled, I will also be a saint, hehe."

"If I become a saint, I will have a long life and enough power to protect myself. Well, I will no longer be troubled by money. If the true creator wants Sefirah Castle, I can give it to Him at that time. I can find a reason to end the Tarot Club, or I can continue to play the role of The Fool and communicate with them. I can use my long life to accompany Melissa and Benson. Not only can I choose to protect them and their descendants, but I can also travel to other parts of the world after they pass away... There are too many things to do, although..."

He shook his head and said no more.

We still don't know the names of the Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 potions of "Fortune Teller", we only know that Sequence 2 is called "Miracle Master". Klein let his imagination run wild for a while, then left Sefirah Castle.

Cattleya would definitely be paying attention to me silently, so it was a bit strange for her to stay in the bathroom all the time.

He was just wondering if it was time for dinner and was about to take out his gold-cased pocket watch to take a look when his vision suddenly went dark and he could hardly see his fingers.

It's night again... The intervals are so irregular... What if we encounter a monster and the two sides are fighting fiercely, and it suddenly gets dark? What should we do? Monsters are also living beings, and they should also sleep, otherwise they will most likely disappear at night... Haha, both sides lie down at the same time while fighting, take a nap, and continue when they wake up? Klein, who was in a more relaxed mood after his successful promotion, complained a few words and walked quickly to the bed.

As soon as he lay down, he suddenly thought of a question:
"The night here is very dangerous. If living beings don't fall asleep, they will disappear and be lost forever."

"The darkness in the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods', including the City of Silver, is also very dangerous. If humans don't have light to dispel the darkness, they may disappear and be lost forever after more than five seconds." "It's very similar... Is there a certain connection?"

Klein shook his head and entered a dream through meditation.

In his dream, he once again came to the living room filled with dusk light. The Bible and many other books were still prominently placed on the huge bookshelf.

This time, Klein did not touch the Bible, but picked out a few other travel notes and miscellaneous notes to read.

Not long after, Leo Master arrived as promised and sat in the same seat as last time.

"I have left the pilgrimage road and saw the ship you were on. There was a 'Rose Bishop' on it," he said. "I found that he did not seem to have been baptized by the Word of the Lord, which is not a good thing in these waters."

“Although the Lord is much more merciful now and no longer uses the nearly deadly Word to screen believers, this is also the reason why many new believers are not spiritually strong enough.”

What does this sentence mean... Klein thought for a moment and said, "This sea area is filled with the whispers of the true Creator?"

"Yeah." Leo Master nodded, "So, I chose to give him some help."

The seal that Cattleya used to isolate the whispers was not as effective as she imagined? Klein's pupils shrank slightly. If this sea area has always been hiding the whispers of the real Creator, then after such a long time, if Heath Doyle has not gone crazy and turned into a monster, then he has completely become a madman who madly believes in the real Creator like the people of the Aurora Society!

The so-called "providing some help" was nothing more than allowing Heath Doyle to endure these whispers and become a believer of the true Creator... Klein felt complicated, but he had no reason to blame the other party.

Because for the "Black Saint", it is natural for the "Secret Prayers" to become believers of the true Creator. For himself, if it weren't for Leo Master's help, Heath Doyle's silent mutation and madness, combined with the strange and terrifying flesh magic of the Rose Bishop, the entire "Future" might have been quietly wiped out one day!
It seems that the Aurora Society’s team is very close to us... Tell this matter to the Admiral of the Stars, and let her decide for herself how to deal with it... Klein sighed and looked at Leo Master again.

The other party's pair of black eyes stared at Klein, as if he was ready to answer the question.

Klein pondered for a moment and asked:

"Why did the ancient sun god become the current 'true creator'?"

Leo Master's expression changed slightly. He couldn't lie in his dream, but he could choose whether to answer the question. He was silent for a long time. Just when Klein thought that the other party was going to skip this question, the "Black Saint" slowly answered:
"The kings have betrayed the Lord."

……

"The kings have betrayed the Lord..."

In the town in the afternoon, the same words were spoken by a clergyman who was kneeling on the ground, and they exploded like thunder in the ears of Colin Iliad and Derrick Berg.

"Almighty God, I repent that I tempted Sasriel, and the kings often came to the palace of dusk to plot."

"The people of this town have changed at some point. They set up secret altars, hold strange rituals, and do all kinds of things that you don't allow."

"I discovered all this, but it was too late. Corruption, blood, darkness, decay, killing, filth and shadows had already flowed and flooded this land."

"A huge disaster will begin here!"

Outside the ruins of the War of Gods.

The "Death Announcement", as black as a tombstone, was still stationed here. Edward strolled back to the southern continent again, apparently going to do a small business with the "Pale Queen" involving the smooth implementation of the "Wishing Lamp" and the Genie plan.

Therefore, he was left outside, still shouldering the responsibility of waiting, sailing back and forth at several exits of the ruins of the War of Gods, robbing passing ships, capturing some new sailors and materials, and waiting for the "Future" to leave the ruins of the War of Gods.

The weather was clear and the sea was calm. Suddenly, a voice appeared in the minds of Agaritu and the Death Announcer at the same time.

"The ship carrying the Aurora Society members brought by the Black Saint is not far away. As long as I am still the messenger of the True Creator, Leo Master will not watch me get into danger. There is no need to hide this time... If he is willing to help, together with me, Admiral Star, Anderson Hood and the people of the Future, we have a chance to wipe out the fleet of the Undead King! We have found the food for the Creeping Hunger! We have found the candidate for the secret doll!"

Agaritu:?
"Death call":!

Someone's malicious intent was too obvious, and he even listed a highly feasible plan, so his idea was completely discovered by the malicious perception of the two demons.

"The 'Black Saint' has come out?"

Agaritu knew without thinking who the malice came from, so he was a little surprised: "Has he completed the 'trial' he mentioned? And he is not far from the 'Future'?"

Such a coincidental time and such a coincidental place, he didn't believe that there was no "bad luck" at work.

Going a step further, he would start to suspect that some writer was secretly making things difficult for him.

"Is there really an Adam on the ship..." he thought silently.

I took a trip on the Pilgrimage Road before and took a look at the murals of Ouroboros. Since then, I have been troubled by bad luck. No matter what I do, something unexpected will happen. Klein can see him but cannot touch him. The first time, Bernadette intervened and let him escape. Now that Bernadette is gone, the "Black Saint" who had been out of contact on the Pilgrimage Road for several months just happened to show up again. Klein still can see him but cannot touch him. What's more, this kid has even begun to boldly want to hunt him in reverse!

A Saint, an Aurora Society team, and three Sequence Fives could really cause him a lot of trouble.

The "Death Report" asked cautiously, "Do you want to fight?"

Agaritu replied: "He has a Sequence 3 Seal in his hand. The negative effect is that it can drain the blood of surrounding creatures. I can hold back the Saint and the others. Are you sure you can defeat a 'Sea King' at sea?"

After hearing this side effect, the "faceless puppet" who was originally eager to try also lowered his head.

The "Death Report" answered honestly: "No."

"That's it. If we can't win, we won't waste time." Agaritu said, "I'm unlucky. Let's retreat and let Him worry about it."

Upon receiving the order, the "Death Signal" immediately turned around and moved away from this side at an unprecedented speed.

Run, run... On the Future, Klein was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.

Soon, the "Death Announcement" disappeared from his sight.

This is running too fast... I just had an idea... Klein looked at the surging sea and was unable to come back to his senses for a moment.

Agaritu: I can't win. I'm not sure. Escape.

Edward: Huh?
