Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 158 I Saw a Snake

According to the records of the City of Silver, the Goddess of Harvest is the Queen of Giants.

And 'Sun' remembered that Ember said that the real name of the Goddess of Harvest was Omibella, which was not recorded in the City of Silver.

Judging from the history of both sides, the Harvest Goddess and the Earth Mother Goddess should have no connection at all. After all, one was the queen of the Giant King in the Second Age, and the other was one of the seven great gods of the Northern Continent.

Even Derrick himself would not confuse the two, but now Yu Jin clearly confused the two, which can only mean one thing -

Whether it was Alger the Hanged Man, Audrey the Justice, Fors and Hugh, or even Klein the Fool, at this moment, they all had only one thought in their minds:
"In the eyes of Ember, the Goddess of Harvest is equivalent to the Mother Goddess of Earth!"

"The Mother Earth Goddess, one of the Seven Gods, is Omibella, the former Giant Queen of the Second Age!"

The information that the ember accidentally revealed stirred up waves in the hearts of many members of the Tarot Club, making them feel restless for a long time. A god who had lived from the Second Age to the present, a god who had gone from an angel to a true god, was like ancient history walking into reality, making them feel that history and the present, reality and illusion were blurred.

We can even draw inferences from this. If the Earth Mother Goddess is the Queen of Giants in the Second Age, then are the seven gods, or the six gods except the Lord of Steam and Machinery, all gods that survived from the Second Age?

At the moment this thought came up, everyone felt that their thoughts were somewhat blasphemous, and they trembled in their hearts because of the fear of the power of the gods. But in addition to the trembling, the thoughts in their brains became more blasphemous, and they began to compare the images of the six gods with the ancient gods one by one, trying to find the correspondence.

"No wonder."

Alger murmured to himself, "No wonder the Feysac Empire stood on the side of the Feynaport Kingdom in the war of oath-breaking more than six hundred years ago. Is it because the gods believed in by both sides are giants?"

Audrey immediately realized that the giant queen was undoubtedly a giant. In the mural, the only normal image of the "God of War" was also a giant! As gods of the same giant clan, it is no wonder that the countries that believed in them in history often maintained a high degree of consistency.

Audrey felt that her thoughts were becoming more and more blasphemous, but her mood changed from trembling and fear at the beginning to becoming more and more bold. She knew that such blasphemous thoughts were not advisable, but the secret knowledge she had accessed made it impossible for her to stop thinking about it.

What's more, she is not the only one who holds the same blasphemous idea. What she can think of can be thought of by others as well. When it comes to blasphemy against God, no one here can escape!
Klein took a deep breath and analyzed calmly in his heart:

"There shouldn't be any ancient gods left among the six gods. After all, according to the records of the City of Silver, the ancient gods have all had their authority taken back by the 'Creator', and they are undoubtedly dead. The six gods that are still alive should all be subordinate gods from the Second Epoch. Although they are not ancient gods, this is still surprising enough."

Audrey also frowned and thought:

"But the question is, why would the six gods unite to fight against the 'Creator'? Could it be..."

Audrey was shocked, because according to the records of the City of Silver, the Creator had taken back all the authority, that is, the 'Extraordinary Characteristics'. And if the Second Epoch's Subordinate Gods wanted to become Sequence 0 Gods, they must have the corresponding 'authority'! In other words, the six gods joined forces to deal with the Creator, most likely to plunder the authority from the Creator!
Audrey was startled by her own guess and looked at the others with a guilty conscience. Then she found that Mr. Hanged Man also looked at the others, as if they both had the same guess and felt guilty.

"No, that shouldn't be the case."

Audrey took a deep breath and quickly refuted her own guess, not only because the idea was too blasphemous, but also because of strength. The Creator had all the authority, and the six gods, who were only gods at the time, were not enough to kill the Creator. There must be a deeper reason.

"Mr. Sun."

Alger, the Hanged Man, suddenly said, "That mural may be the key to breaking the impasse. You can try to destroy it, but don't let your chief suspect you."

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man' seems to be feeling guilty. He is changing the subject because he doesn't want others to continue thinking along this line of thought, right? So it seems that even Mr. 'The Hanged Man's' faith is more devout than mine?"

Audrey was keenly aware of the abruptness of the Hanged Man's change of subject, and immediately guessed the reason for his doing so. But at the same time, the girl felt a little sad. She had been so devout in her belief in the goddess before, but now whenever she thought of the goddess, her mind was filled with blasphemous thoughts related to her!

Why, why did it turn out like this!
"Okay, thank you for your reminder, Mr. Hanged Man, you are always so kind and enthusiastic. Also, Mr. Lover, Miss Justice, Miss Magician, Miss Judgement, Mr. World, you are all equally kind."

Kindness? Enthusiasm?
The naivety of the Sun made the Hanged Man at a loss for how to react for a moment, because he was just trying to change the subject.

Klein was eager to change the topic at this time. He was also afraid of attracting the attention of those people. After all, it was not the first time that the Gray Mist was invaded. First it was invaded by the Goddess, then by the Eternal Blazing Sun, and some time ago there was also Amon.

This means that the gray fog is not as indestructible as he thought, but there is a possibility of invasion by gods! Although their conversation here should not be eavesdropped, it is better to be safe than sorry! His mind was full of blasphemous thoughts related to the goddess. If the goddess knew about this, wouldn’t he be killed without a complete body?
Klein thought guiltily, and felt that he should do something to end this topic once and for all.

Then, The Fool, who was sitting upright in a high-back chair, leisurely adjusted his sitting posture, tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers, chuckled and said:

"Redemption Rose."

"Redemption Rose?"

What is this key point to get out of trouble? Oh, right, there is this name in the corner of a mural above the temple! Derrick the Sun seemed to understand something, and the Hanged Man immediately began to discuss enthusiastically with the Sun how to solve his current dilemma.

The topic was successfully diverted from the original blasphemy against the gods to a discussion on how to help Derrick escape. Well, although this was the real business, the blasphemy against the gods was off topic.

Soon, after this matter came to an end, the Tarot Club began to proceed as usual. After Audrey and several others contributed several pages of Russell's diary to The Fool, the Tarot Club tacitly chose to remain silent and give the time to The Fool.

In the diary contributed by Miss Audrey, The Fool saw Russell, who was about to become a demigod, and his obsession with building Gundams. He also saw his miraculous experience of hunting for beauties and almost getting anally raped. This made Klein's mouth curl up slightly - this was definitely not because of gloating!

Then, he calmly looked at the last entry on the last page:
"On April 26, Zaratul came to visit me, and I deliberately found an opportunity to ask him, what is a miracle?" He asked me in return, what do you think?

"I think there is only one kind of miracle in my heart, and that is the wonders of civilization, such as the Dusk Palace of the Feysac Empire, the former residence of the Giant King Olmir.

"Zaratul finally gave a positive answer.

“He said: What is a miracle?

"Resurrection from the dead is a miracle!"

Klein was silent for a long time, and murmured to himself in his heart:
"What a miracle."

Zaratul is undoubtedly a fortune teller, and at least a high-ranking angel of Sequence 2. The fortune teller's Sequence 2 is a miracle worker! Zaratul clearly said that "resurrection from the dead is a miracle", which means that "resurrection from the dead" is probably a high-sequence ability of the fortune teller, and it is even possible that it is the extraordinary ability of the Sequence 2 "Miracle Worker".

The reason why he was able to possess such a miracle before becoming a Beyonder was probably related to the mysterious space above the gray fog. These were not surprising discoveries, after all, Klein had guessed it a long time ago. After all, he did not think he had the ability to "resurrect from the dead", and this ability could only be brought by the gray fog.

"But it's a miracle."

Klein glanced at the embers and twitched his lips slightly. "Zaratul probably never imagined that miracles can actually be wholesaled at a low price."

Klein knew very well that the 'miracles' he possessed were by no means infinite, and there was definitely a limit to the number of times he could use them. But for Yu Jin, the miracles he had were almost infinite! For example, Yu Jin's Sacrifice Ring itself was a miracle, and the similar miracles he had in his hand were also a miracle.
There are many more traces. For example, the "Farewell Tears" has a similar effect, and you can use it as long as you have enough mana bars.

However, in addition to the miracle of resurrection, the gray fog has a more important meaning to Klein.

Clay turned his eyes away from Russell's diary, looking forward to what he would find in that obscured place after he became a High-Sequence Expert and completed the Glorious Staircase in the depths of the gray fog. Perhaps he could find the reason for his time travel there and find a way home!
Klein suppressed his inner excitement and continued to read the next page of Roselle's diary:
"On April 21, I saw the abyss."

Klein became excited again. He had seen similar sentences in Roselle's diary a few times before! However, the diary ended abruptly at this sentence, but this page started from this sentence!
Perhaps it was because later generations copied the contents of the two pages together. But in any case, this meant that Klein had a chance to find out the truth of history! With excitement, Klein continued to read:
"I saw the abyss and the fall of the gods."

Klein's expression changed slightly. What on earth did Emperor Roselle experience?! Klein didn't dare to imagine, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity and couldn't help but continue reading.

"On April 22, we are going to go in there and explore the abyss."

"On April 23, we followed the dark ocean, penetrated the liquid-like fog, and arrived at the monster-like mountain. Behind it was endless black fog that seemed to cover a continent.

However, if you look down at the bottom of the mountain, you will feel that there is no end and no limit. I jokingly told Edwards that if I jump off the cliff to commit suicide here, I may never reach the ground, but will always fall. "

Seeing this, Klein almost raised his eyebrows. He couldn't believe that after seeing the abyss, Roselle dared to organize his knights and sailors to explore the border area. However, it was just a normal exploration until here. Although it was a suicidal act, it was still normal.

"On April 24, we descended along the mountain and tried to go deeper. The thick black fog was cold and slippery, as if it could penetrate the flesh and soul. Haha, fortunately, some items on the Black Throne can effectively resist this corrosion, otherwise I suspect that my Apocalypse Knights and I would have become members of the Franca Dance Troupe.

"It's very quiet here, we didn't find anything."

"On April 25, we saw demons, but only their rotting corpses remained. Behind the jagged black rocks, under the mud that could hardly be called a road, in various normal and unimaginable places, there were different demon corpses. It was as if they had suffered the same death at the same moment."

"April 26th, either corpses or silence, there is no end in sight.

“Those items on the Black Throne are beginning to show signs of corrosion.

“I have rarely felt scared in recent years, but here, the fear of the unknown is like an invisible hand, tightly squeezing my heart.

"We must leave! We must return! We cannot stay any longer!"

"I saw a serpent, a serpent from outer space! He descended into the abyss and ate up God, the god of the abyss!"

Klein's pupils shrank sharply. A snake ate a god?! What kind of snake could eat a god? No! That was definitely not an ordinary snake. It was most likely another true god, but in the form of a snake. Just like the eight ancient gods of the Second Epoch, weren't there any humans?

But the problem is that no matter in the Northern Continent or the Forsaken Land, the classics seem to have never recorded a god in the form of a snake, not even a god. Snakes can't be degenerate dragons, right?

Moreover, in Emperor Roselle's diary, it was clearly written that this snake came from outer space! This means that he probably saw with his own eyes a giant snake fighting a battle with the god of the abyss in front of him, and finally swallowed it.

From the Emperor Roselle's diary, the last few sentences are somewhat inconsistent, which shows that Roselle must have been very panicked at the time. The handwriting is also very sloppy, and some of the traces show that his hands were shaking when he wrote.

This page of Roselle's diary is probably not a copied copy, but a part of the real diary!

"It looks like the starry sky is dangerous!"

Klein's eyelids twitched. Mr. Men was also out in space and couldn't find his way back. The members of the Abraham family were also tortured by his delirium. But logically speaking, Mr. Men, who was close to the power of a god, couldn't possibly not find his way back. It was probably because he was entangled by something.

And now a snake from outer space came and ate the gods without saying a word! Although we don’t know who the god of the abyss is, it is a real god after all, and it is definitely not much worse than the seven great gods believed in by the northern continent! Even gods can be eaten, which means that the dangers hidden in the starry sky are probably no less than reality!
