Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 645 As It Should Be

Esther came out more smoothly. She sat happily among the fine silk threads, allowing the ball of light that seemed to be emitting a faint glow to carry her reshaped body through the unstable chaotic turbulence.

She suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion - the original one was still the most suitable, and the updated power source was also very stable.

Then this time it won't be so bad...

Esther quickly kicked the words out of her mind.

She spread out her palm and looked at the spirit that was "decomposed" from the Beyonder characteristic. It still retained the original appearance of the "spider", but was only the size of a fingernail.

The original body had been swallowed up by the power of dissolving into the essence, and Esther and the Beyonder characteristics merged due to the stronger attraction.

The little guy had completely forgotten his original appearance before he became a complete follower.

So now all that's left is a clean-eaten fruit core.

Of course, the core could be eaten, but Esther resisted. She didn't like doing that - to her right now, the taste of French fries or carrot cake was more appealing than this.

The chaotic shadow was delayed due to its restraints and was soon left behind by the light that shuttled through it. When the gold color reappeared before her eyes, the silk threads beside Esther broke into pieces, turning into flying points of light that disappeared in her hair.

In fact, there is no need for this anymore. She can capture the scattered spirituality from the spiritual world at any time and blend the weak consciousness with the power of fate, but Esther has become accustomed to keeping them by her side.

After breaking away from the "thief", Esther knew that she had to retrain her abilities, but because her nature was in harmony, she was now in a more comfortable state than before.

The torrent of the long river of destiny almost pressed against her open fingertips, the leaping waves no longer showed any rejection or resistance, and the fragmented past and future were clearly visible.

Esther just sighed softly, and as she flew out of the golden sea, she showed a worry-free smile - at least at this moment, she was not thinking about anything and put aside anything that was entangled with her.

She simply felt everything, from the fate rooted in her soul, to the false sunshine, and the swirling sea breeze...

The force of rushing out from the deep sea was still acting on Esther, so her body jumped high from the sea surface and fell towards the "only" landing point nearby, as if she had decided on her goal long ago.

Amon looked at the joyful light, heard her cheerful laughter, and subconsciously reached out to the rapidly approaching figure.

Then his hat jerked back and nearly flew off his head.

Yun Que lowered his head and glanced at Amon's outstretched arm: "Where is the Beyonder characteristic of 'Deceiving Mentor'? I gave it to you specially at that time!"

Amon took back his hands and said confidently, "No more, I ate it."

Skylark was screaming and stomping on the soft-crowned hat, but Amon just straightened the brim of his hat, with a sly smile on his face that showed a hint of helplessness.

"I can't keep it for you. That's the extraordinary characteristic of the 'Thief'."

And Amon didn't think there was anything inappropriate. After all, Esther gave it to him, so it was a voluntary gift. He almost never returned anything that fell into his hands.

"I get along well with it, and we have developed feelings for it, isn't that okay?" Skylark's claws tore at the edge of the pointed hat, "It would be great if I could make an extraordinary weapon out of it!"

Amon endured the skylark's jumping for a while, then reached out to grab the noisy bird, but his action failed. A ball of light flew down and stretched directly into Esther's figure.

The anger in Esther's heart finally subsided. Her original goal was not to obtain the extraordinary characteristics, but judging from Amon's performance, she probably wouldn't be able to get her bag back.

There are still many things she cherishes in it - but even if they are useless to Amon, Amon will never return them to her.

Amon stared at Esther carefully, and soon revealed a little disappointment: "You look... no different."

Still nothing resembling Zoya.

Esther instantly understood what Amon was thinking and nodded naturally: "Do you think I look too human? Then I can only say that this is a unique good luck. Hehe, when it comes to good luck——"

Amon interrupted before Esther finished boasting, "You are even still sober."

Esther was stunned for a moment, then she tilted her head to look at the sea below her feet: "Yes, I am still very sober, not destroyed or crazy, and even my Beyonder characteristics do not have any residual consciousness..."

Then she raised her head and said with a smile: "That's because I have things to do. He still needs me to be the stone that holds the two worlds together. They also need a stable anchor to maintain their self-awareness."

Amon stopped talking about this matter, and stopped thinking about what the original state was, and what impact it had on Esther. Even the strongest curiosity needs to be restrained, and He needs to divide the parts that He should not know.

Because the second half of Esther's sentence was also a small warning. She had no confidence in defeating Amon, but Amon could not really "tear her apart".

Esther flexed her five fingers, and a bright light flashed in and out of sight: "Have I been away for a long time?"

"Not that long, just a week. There's one more thing that Adam and I couldn't agree on. Anyway, I'm more used to calling Him that now."

A week is not a long time, but it seems too long to Esther. She doesn’t know what the situation is like with Klein. She can only hope that Norns can use the remaining power of the gray fog to help him and avoid conflict with the “Old Mystery”...

Amon will not give up this shortcut.

Esther's eyes turned and she asked, "Which part didn't you agree on? The part about names?"

Amon looked at Esther expressionlessly.

Until Esther cleared her throat again, she took the initiative to break the silence: "I just said it casually, don't take it to heart..."

"I don't like your choice of 'secrets'. Moreover, it is precisely because I know the result of the old world," Amon's eyes became more and more indifferent, "that I am more determined to do this."

Amon did not mention the existence of another "Amon". There was no need to tell Esther about the consensus reached between the Amons.

This decision was not unexpected, but Amon's unwavering and uncompromising attitude made Esther stare at Him in a daze for a few seconds.

Esther realized that Amon was hiding something, and she looked confused at the right moment: "This is really a reason that I didn't expect."

This decision was not in line with Amon's character. The conflict with "Adam" was only one aspect. Facing the secrets of the old world was full of more unpredictable dangers, including those old days that were still entrenched outside the earth. Since Amon knew these inside stories, there was no need to take risks. He could have stayed away, even away from the fight for the "secrets", to preserve his own power.

"Will you help me?"

Hearing these words again, Esther no longer retreated. She just looked at Amon, who had no smile on his face, and shook her head gently.

"That's right. I'm tired of hearing the same answer every time." Amon smiled again. "It doesn't matter. Let's go."

Esther hesitated for a moment: "You..."

Amon quickly interrupted Esther, not seeming to care about her hesitation: "You promised me before that you could help me with other things. At least according to the development process of the 'Old World', we have to bring Him back to the real world."

So Amon stretched out his hand, and Esther did not hesitate. The moment she touched Amon's wrist, the two figures disappeared together on the golden sea.

The night came slowly, filling the dreamland of the remains of the war of gods. It seemed to come back to its senses now, covering the gap between heaven and earth.

A little turbid wave spewed out from the water, as if groping for the sounds that remained there, but it did not linger for long, and in the comfort of the night, it sank deeper without leaving a trace.

-

The atmosphere in Backlund is changing.

Anyone who lives in this city, whether walking in the magnificent halls or huddled in the shadows behind a garbage dump, will inexplicably have this feeling.

In fact, such subtle changes are permeating various cities, and Backlund is not an exception.

The relief operation led by the church was carried out in an orderly manner. The Storm Church, which had rarely participated in similar activities, also set up more and more stalls with a stern face and a sense of impatience, preaching the doctrine while stuffing bread and fish soup into the hands of people with sad faces.

Also conveyed to people are related propaganda such as "Beware of cults" and "Beware of abnormal people or abnormal objects."

In comparison, the Church of Night appears to be more "people-friendly". They simply opened up churches or church annexes in various places, willing to accept uneasy believers under their protection, and slowly teach people about safety awareness.

This is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time, and their actions seem hasty.

The real support behind the church also depends on the decisions of those people far away in Queens. They received certain news as fast as the church, and what happened in Bayam had already spread.

Maintaining stability, delaying the war, and appeasing the people, the newly appointed king quickly pushed aside the aftermath of the war and began to face the troubles brought by the extraordinary world. It is very important to note that when the church first sent people, it was not intended to "discuss", but a simple notification - or even a warning.

There was no room for negotiation on this matter, and such a tough attitude also caused a backlash from the aristocratic forces.

Soon, the House of Lords, which had been arguing about these "nonsense", received an urgent message from the border. A group of fully armed "warriors" appeared on the northern front. If they had not encountered direct obstruction from the Church of Evernight, they might have advanced all the way to the heart of Loen.

And everyone - everyone who saw the group of "warriors" with their own eyes, witnessed the ferocity and brutality of the leading Cyclops, as well as his inhuman features.

A corner of the curtain has been torn.

As if to further stimulate the fig leaf of this prosperous era, extraordinary accidents occur one after another within the country, and they are all openly seen by ordinary people, and then present their terrifying appearances: sometimes they are monsters that look like humans, sometimes they are illusions, and sometimes they are crazy beasts.

The only thing they have in common is that they all go against common sense, which is another shock to Rune at the moment.

Things that would not be published in newspapers spread quickly from word of mouth.

The stalemate was soon broken, and bloody sacrifices occurred in the West District. In view of the fact that members of the House of Lords had been killed, no one could sit still.

After a one-sided vote, some nobles, some willing and some unwilling, donated their property to help the masses and agreed to help the two ancient Orthodox churches in Loen to stabilize the current extraordinary events in Backlund and even the entire country.

Correspondingly, the church will also protect their property and life safety. This is an agreement witnessed by the gods. Since they failed to successfully create the royal family of the new god, they remained silent on the matter and tacitly agreed to the unilateral planning of the church.

As for what the Aurora Society did behind the scenes - this time they did not publish a statement stating that they did it, and no one came forward with evidence.
