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

Chapter 526: Surprise Attack in Progress

805
"You can't go." Bethel said coldly, "I don't want to die for this reason."

When the western sky exploded with daylight, Bethel realized what was happening with his "astrologer's" spiritual intuition.

After taking a few seconds to digest what was happening, Klein immediately decided to go to Feynaport to rescue people.

"When others rush over, everything might be over. The speed of the 'Door' is indeed fast, but it is not to let you die."

Bethel didn't want to hear the Demon of Knowledge say, "The ancestor of Abraham's family went to rescue people in person when the God of Thunder attacked Feynapotter because of his sense of justice when he was asked about his death. As a result, he was killed by the God of Thunder's targeted attack." No matter what the other party answered, whether it was praise "The ancestor of Abraham's family was so kind" or thought "Such a being actually has mercy on the people? Could it be that he wanted to do something but failed and died?", Bethel could not accept it.

When Bethel thought of this scene, he felt a black screen before his eyes.

Compared to this answer, even "killed by little Zaratul" and "eaten by Paulis Zoroaster" seem to be better.

"But……!"

"Use the flashing power of the gate to avoid the lightning and take as many people as possible away, Klein, do you know what you are thinking?" Bethel raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Let's not talk about whether you can do this with your control over my power. Just this idea of ​​yours is enough to make you die countless times in that thunderstorm."

Suddenly, a door opened in front of Bethel, and then His feet took one step forward uncontrollably, and then another, leaving a striking trail on the snow. He frowned, controlled his strength, and resisted entering the "door" in front of him.

"You want to die, I have to stop you."

Bethel felt that he could understand this feeling, but He did not have such a boring - or to put it bluntly - meaningless sense of justice, and He did not agree with Klein's ideas rationally or emotionally.

To be fair, Bethel never thought of himself as a good person. Maybe when he was a minor noble or a demigod, he did favor his territory and believers and wanted to help them live a better life, but these emotions did not last long.

The past few eras have been filled with disputes and deaths without exception. Even Bethel cannot really protect the people it knows.

This month, this family is still alive, and they will happily call out your name, salute you, and smile at you when your carriage passes by. Next month, they may die in the attack of some Beyonder, or become part of someone's ritual. The little child who was held in their arms and smiled at you at that time will never greet you in a childish voice again, and there is nothing you can do but find the murderer.

Even if it is protected, it seems to be of no use.

Friends you get along well with seem to have grown white hair and wrinkles on their faces without you noticing. Soon their bodies become hunched and they grow old... Finally they die, and then their sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren appear in front of you... Some of these younger generations are not your friends, and before long you will feel that getting along with them is an embarrassing and stressful thing for both you and yourself.

In this unequal situation, the more emotions you share, the more sadness you get.

Later, apart from his own descendants, Bethel was reluctant to share his emotions with other strangers.

"Even if it's just one person, Mr. Bethel, even if I can only go to the very edge to save one person!"

"I'm too lazy to criticize your naive idea. Putting aside whether you can do it or not, are you really going to come back just to save one person?"

Klein was silent for a moment after hearing this question.

Bethel then took advantage of the situation and continued, "Does Feynaporte have anyone you care about? Didn't you want to go there purely out of a sense of justice? But a sense of justice can't save your life. If you enter the attack range of the God of Thunder, it's not up to you to decide how many thunders you'll take."

"But...but I can't just sit there and do nothing!"

Klein still didn't give up. He actually knew that once Bethel saw his behavior, it would be directly replaced by "young", "naive", "immature", "hot-blooded"... But Bethel would not lecture him, so he pretended not to see it.

Indeed, if Klein lived as long as Bethel, witnessed two eras and the rise and fall of three dynasties like Bethel, and had been at the highest position of both the extraordinary and the secular for more than a thousand years, Klein would not dare to guarantee what he would become.

But now, he is not yet like Bethel!
Sitting back and watching the tragedy happen without being able to do anything about it made Klein think of his past self again. It seemed like it was like this every time, whether it was the smog, the war, the tsunami in Intis, or even the current fight for colonies that hadn't yet completely ended - he always seemed to be like this, unable to do much.

In the past, it was because he had no power. When he realized the truth about the Great Smog, he was not even a demigod and did not dare to be afraid in his heart;

When the war started, he was just a demigod. He couldn't stop the airships in the sky, nor could he drive away the Feysac army at the border. He was even trembling with fear when delivering something. He could only watch the bodies of the victims gradually cooling down in the bombed ruins.

The tsunami that occurred in Intis was more like a surprise to him than a sadness.

He could not imagine that kind of tsunami and divine punishment, until he saw it with his own eyes, and then he was hurt by the sadness and the empty city.

but……

But hasn’t he become the “door” now?
At least it’s half a “door”!

He dared to face God, and he was not afraid of beings at God's level, so why was he unable to stop it? Why could he only watch this tragedy happen?
Although he did not see what was happening there with his own eyes, his spiritual intuition also gave him a clear feedback of the situation there. Klein could not find any accurate words to describe his feelings at this moment. This had nothing to do with any personal feelings. It was the fear and desire to help that humans instinctively felt when facing natural disasters and the mass death of their own kind.

strength……

"I still... I still don't have enough strength!"

"From the time I made that decision until now, I haven't stopped even a step, but I still haven't done enough, and I still haven't done it fast enough. Even if I work harder to advance, I still can't keep up with the speed of those top masters..."

Klein's mind was filled with extremely painful emotions, so much so that Bethel was a little surprised for a moment. Although He had long known that Klein's personality was like this, He did not expect that this young man who was already an angel could have such rich emotions.

"If I were a dual-path true God, I wouldn't have to worry about not being able to save people from the Thunder God's attack... I could just stop Him!"

"After becoming the 'Gate', I realized that the power of the True God is so great that even the God of Thunder cannot catch me. I may have become lazy and complacent, but I cannot be complacent and stop here."

"The opportunity to become a god, the opportunity to become stronger..."

Klein frowned and muttered to himself. He thought of his own apotheosis ritual, "Fooling time or fate once." Whether it was "playing the fool" or "appearing in front of the people and the gods as Bethel Abraham," the apotheosis ritual could be completed, but it did not mean that he could be promoted directly from a "miracle worker" to a god. After all, the Sequence 1 promotion consciousness "Secret City" that he guessed had not been completed yet.

No, even if you complete it, you can't really go 2 jump 0. Don't be selfish, right?

More importantly, the true god-level power of the "Gate" path he was using now also belonged to Bethel, and he had not merged with the spiritual imprint and power of the "Gate". Although the other party did not say it, it can be seen from the fact that the other party also had control over this body that the Demon of Knowledge also acquiesced to Bethel's competitive actions. In Klein's imagination, perhaps, they would have to fight again in an upright manner and give a real account.

Although Bethel no longer mocked his desire to become the Lord of Mysteries, it did not mean that Bethel had completely given up the opportunity to compete for the title of Lord of Mysteries.

A more appropriate battle would be the explanation for Bethel.

“To become a god, I should use my own body… But now I don’t have all three copies of Sequence One and Uniqueness. I can use Mr. Bethel’s body to become a dual-path true god through Antigonus, but that’s equivalent to me giving up the competition…”

Klein thought quickly.

It is not impossible to take a shortcut. All you have to do is ask for the help of the Demon of Knowledge, completely drive out Bethel's spirit, merge yourself with the spiritual imprint of this body, and assume the mystical connection with Bethel Abraham, which is equivalent to exchanging fate with Bethel... The biggest disadvantage of this shortcut is that it directly and passively makes you become another person, which has an immeasurable negative impact on maintaining your self and anchor.

"Only after I become a god can I seek power from other sources."

"Perhaps I should change my thinking. For me now, the biggest difficulty is the Sequence 1 that was taken away by Edward Vaughn. It is difficult for me to become a God in this path, and it is also difficult for me to become a God in a short period of time... After all, I should have just become a Miracle Master the day before yesterday, right?"

Klein was in a dilemma for a moment.

Because the two of them were connected spiritually, Bethel didn't know what the boy was thinking when he suddenly became quiet, but he could guess that Klein must have accepted reality and given up the idea of ​​going to the thunderstorm to take a shower for free. However, through the "entanglement", "pain" and "hesitation" transmitted from the emotions, Bethel suspected that Klein was still thinking about something else, something more far-reaching.

"How can we get at least one copy of 'Secret Servant'? This is the basis of all plans."

Klein felt like his head was on fire. This was not the first time he had racked his brains to find a way to gain power, but it was definitely the most urgent and anxious time.

“Source Essence, relying on the power of source essence aggregation, can we force the Sequence One characteristic to come?”

Although Half the Fool was no longer there, he still reflexively looked toward the horizon, toward the direction of Honachis. It was at this time that Klein noticed that there was no more white light in the southwest sky, and the world darkened again, returning to the deep night.

It’s over... Klein slowly lowered his head, pursed his lips, and suppressed the emotions that were about to burst out of his heart.

In a flash of inspiration, Klein's mind suddenly emerged with the terrifying aggregation ability displayed by the "Half Fool" Antigonus. According to Klein's current perception at the True God level, before Antigonus's aggregation power reached its peak, the seals of the major organizations had already produced obvious "pilgrimage" behavior and began to frantically impact the seals under the influence of the aggregation power, including level 0.

——Since the three copies of the "Mysterious Attendants" can now be traced, and Antigonus's cohesion has not yet reached its peak but can still affect those Sequence 2 seals, it means that the "Half Fool" can definitely attract Sequence 1 as well!
So the "curtain" might have appeared with Cottard!

Klein's eyes suddenly lit up, but then dimmed again immediately.

The "curtain" was supposed to be a sealed object that appeared with him, containing a complete set of 9-1 potions. They came from Sefirah Castle, so it can be understood that they all contained the spiritual imprint of the Lord of Mysteries. This was obviously a trap, and he was directly hit by one of them. Not to mention the Sequence , even if he had to take all the first seven sequences again, the added burden would be enough to confuse Klein's self-cognition.

"My first target is still Zaratul's mysterious servant... The second is Antigonus's... The godhood ritual I have completed can help me successfully accommodate the uniqueness, and I need to fight against the madness brought by the mental imprint."

What should I do now?

"If we go to Sefirah Castle, it will be the same as letting Mr. Bethel go up there."

Recalling that Mr. Fool would give tarot cards as names to new members, Klein thought of the "apprentice" that Fors had obtained, and thought of Bethel sitting expressionlessly in the empty seat, and couldn't help but smile.

"Well, losing the advantage is not that important. After all, I handed Sefirah Castle to Amon a long time ago. It is no longer my advantage."

"If you must say that I have an advantage over the Essence, then that should be my 'destiny'."

It is the destiny that symbolizes the return of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, the destiny acknowledged by God himself, “the enemy sleeping in the weak body.”

"Use this fate to gain as much benefit as possible for myself and find an opportunity to become a god. This is what I should do."

So, my next step should be...

Bethel felt his body suddenly move again. This time, Bethel saw himself turning directly in another direction. Klein began to conceive of a landmark in his mind that was clear enough and real. This landmark was—

"Calderon?"

Bethel was obviously stunned for a moment, and expressed confusion about Klein's behavior:
"Are you planning to fish in troubled waters and obtain Antigonus' uniqueness and sequence one?"

If they are really obtained, these two things will definitely be integrated into their bodies according to the principle of aggregation at the first time, and no one will be able to take them out again. It is equivalent to directly being promoted to a dual-path true god.

At this time, Amon was still the Angel King who had not yet completed the godhood ritual, and Klein was still connected to his spirit. This power gap undoubtedly put Bethel back in the position of the top competitor. Could it be that Klein was planning to drive out his consciousness after becoming a dual-path true god, completely occupy his body, and drive Bethel away to become Klein Moretti? But would the Demon of Knowledge allow him to do so?
But judging from the current results, this is completely beneficial to Bethel. He could have kept silent, but he couldn't help but speak:

"Your idea is correct, but Antigonus has probably gone completely crazy now. If you want to enter the arena to compete for his extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness, you should wait until the God of War kills Antigonus."

Just like how the God of War treated the God of Death and Mother of Sky who were both injured.

"No, that's not what I want to do." Klein said, "I want to ask Antigonus to do me a favor."

"what are you up to?"

Klein didn't answer. He opened the door and flipped through Bethel's records. He quickly found a page that recorded the extraordinary skill of "Historical Mist".

Then, Klein connected this page of extraordinary abilities to the door in front of him. The colorful spiritual light behind the door suddenly began to fade, gradually transforming into the dark and black color seen before entering the mist of history every time. Faint mist floated around.

Klein entered without thinking.

……

Calderon.

As the battle progressed, the God of War inevitably felt that his reactions became slow from time to time, and his originally perfect attack movements would go wrong in unexpected places. The attacks of "Half Fool" seemed to have some strange negative effects, just like His title, which would reduce His IQ and reaction speed.

However, after fighting with Antigonus, Badhair was convinced that the other party had not completely lost himself, and he still retained at least some of the simplest strategies and tactics, or instincts.

Although it was limited to "hiding his own historical projection of the Angel King in the army of secret puppets to launch a sneak attack", "using simple illusions and changes to simulate the breath of the Lord of Mystery and the illusion that he had gone completely crazy", "hiding in the dark to grab the thread of His spirit body". Badhair killed Antigonus one after another, but the opponent always turned into mist and dissipated. These moves were not difficult to see through, but it was always like this. Even with the mentality of the God of War, he couldn't help but feel impatient - but he couldn't enter the fog of history and couldn't accurately find the opponent's position.

The longer you delay, the more problems will arise. It is clear that something has already happened with Mother Earth.

The God of War was in an impatient mood. What He wanted to do most now was not to fight with this mad wolf, but to quickly return to Feysac with his spoils to enjoy his own victory.

In order to induce Antigonus to attack, He removed the shield on his other arm, leaving only the exaggerated giant sword in his hand, the surface of which was covered with orange-red light, exuding the breath of dusk and the decay of all things.

This is the symbol of the "Twilight Giant".

The God of War stared closely at a certain direction. He could feel that Antigonus' next attack would probably come from this direction, and he was ready to strangle the opponent's throat.

And in the mist of history.

Antigonus, with confused eyes and blurred consciousness, was wandering in the dark fog. Broken fragments of history were constantly being pulled by him, appearing and disappearing around him.

At this moment, Antigonus suddenly turned around, looked in one direction, took two steps back vigilantly, lowered his body, bared his fangs, and made a warning and prepared for battle gesture.

A door opened from that direction, and then a figure that was very familiar to Him, yet somewhat unfamiliar, came in front of Him through the door.

"I'm here to help you."

The familiar yet unfamiliar person said straight to the point:

"Can we have another gathering like we just had?"

------

I looked at the controversy in the previous chapter. There are too many comments from Naya, so it’s hard to reply, so I’ll just say it here.

Mr. Naya's attitude is "Since it's already like this, why not just kill the people of Loen and Leodro to see who goes crazy first?" He then cited the example of launching nuclear bombs at each other, and "At worst, I'll ask the Mother Goddess to possess me." I have no comment on this view, but this view is based on the premise that "Lilith and Leodro have similar large-scale killing and attack speed." It's like the original war god was on guard when he was not sure about the state of the night, but immediately attacked and started the war after discovering that the night (pretending) was not in a good state.

However, it does not occupy too much of the paid content, please see what the author says.

Discuss rationally, don't argue or be sarcastic.

Finally, regarding Mr. Naya’s point of view that “there shouldn’t be such a big gap between the dual-path true God and the single-path true God”, let’s look back at the original work.

Case 1: Yuan Tai, who had just come out of the Chaos Sea, was recognized as a dual-path warrior. His record was to have killed multiple ancient gods.

Case 2: The mad god of death who housed the Red Priest, the Pale Disaster swept across the northern continent, and the gods avoided its edge and waited for it to go crazy and die.

Case 3: Amon at the end of the original work. When Klein became a god, the only person who confronted Amon directly was Night, who controlled the uniqueness of the adjacent paths. Note that at this time, Night was waiting to contain the source substance and take the best multi-path true god route, so it was control rather than containment. In the battle, the seal and secret means were used together, but Amon still opened the door. He also did not defeat Amon, but kept delaying the opponent until Klein became a god. After Klein became a god, Amon still easily entered the source castle.

From this we can see that the dual-path\multi-path true god can completely suppress the single-path true god, even if it is not a dimensionality reduction attack.

It can be seen that nuclear deterrence is meaningful only in an environment of equal strength. Rather than saying that there are two nuclear bombs, it is better to say that you have nuclear bombs, while the other side has nuclear bombs with faster launch speed, greater lethality and wider killing range.

In other words, it was a fight between knives and pistols.

As for asking the Mother Goddess to possess me - since you are the Mother Goddess, am I not God?
