Chapter 1264: Coincidence?
"Restart!"
With a child’s voice ringing out, the divine power of the True Creator on the Secret Saint Botis was continuously extracted. The "Degeneration" authority he had recorded vanished without a trace, and his entire state rapidly reverted to that of a few minutes earlier.
Although Amon had said that a "mad" Secret Saint would be easier to capture, Ebner at this mont had only transford into Alvin’s appearance. The body of the Miracle Invoker was not here, so rather than directly confronting the divine power of a true god, he preferred to engage in a battle of wits with a Spell Master who excelled at escaping.
Sure enough, after losing the power of the True Creator, Botis instantly regained clarity. Without hesitation, he used "Teleportation." His figure rapidly turned transparent and disappeared.
At the sa ti, he took out a crystal ball from the hidden pocket of his black robe, causing it to glow before it quickly shattered and rged into the void.
He was preventing mystical tracking.
He truly did not dare remain any longer. Regardless of whether the "Alvin" before him was real or fake, the fact that he could pull out a historical projection at the angel level ant that as a re Sequence 4, Botis should not confront him head-on.
However, what surprised him was that "Alvin" rely watched this Saint of the Aurora Order leave, with no intention of intercepting him at all.
Ebner indeed was not in a hurry. He smiled inexplicably, then crouched down and dipped his finger into the blood on the ground. After that, he took out Groselle’s Travels and sared the blood onto the book’s cover.
As for why there was Botis’s blood on the ground? Naturally, it was required for the earlier "sacrifice" ritual. And as a Beyonder of the Apprentice pathway, the Secret Saint did not possess Mr. A’s ability to "lick" himself clean.
...
After entering the spirit world, the Secret Saint Botis imdiately began traversing it, heading straight toward the ruins of the God of War battlefield at the easternmost edge of the Sonia Sea.
But at that mont, his thoughts suddenly blurred, and his body involuntarily changed direction. He exited the spirit world from another location and entered a strange "world."
Before he could understand what was happening, he felt himself drawn by an inexplicable force, plunging into the sea of collective subconsciousness, and then landing in a city the size of an island.
The city’s foundation was gray-white, with colossal stone pillars dozens to hundreds of ters tall rising from it. So stood alone, while others jointly supported majestic, ancient palaces. The overall scene was both bizarre and magnificent, not sothing ordinary beings could have constructed.
It was the City of Miracles, Liveseyd!
Amid his shock, Botis finally saw clearly the enemy who had brought him here—the true Miracle Invoker, Alvin Abraham.
—Since he knew that the Secret Saint possessed the "Old Days Box," a dangerous item involving Outer Deities, it was naturally safest to deal with him near the entrance to the Chaos Sea.
As for monitoring Amon and the situation at the ball, Yarolan and Alvin had switched shifts—how could Ebner truly trust Amon completely? Naturally, he had left behind sufficient forces to restrain Him... Not only was Yarolan present openly, but a Spiritual Creature Angel was hidden in the shadows as well.
The subsequent events needed no elaboration. Within an enclosed space, an angel dealing with an ordinary demigod of the sa—forrly the sa—pathway was like a father beating his son. Even though Botis held a Grade "0" Sealed Artifact, he still had no chance to turn the tables and was easily turned into a Marionette.
Next, after having the Marionette Botis present his own Traveler’s Bag with both hands, Alvin began inventorying the spoils of this battle:
"Grade ’0’ Sealed Artifact, ’Old Days Box’... This thing is quite dangerous. Better return it to the Abraham family and have them seal it using their old thod. In exchange, I can borrow the ’God’s Painting’ or the ’Star Staff’ in Ebner’s na... Mm, let’s choose the ’God’s Painting.’ It seems to have certain functions that historical projections can’t replicate. Perfect for so research.
"No need to take out the ’Spell Master’ Beyonder characteristic yet. Fors is only Sequence 6—still far from becoming a demigod... As for the Abraham family, just displaying Botis’s corpse will be enough... Mm, perhaps this Marionette can be ’rented’ to Klein. What price should I set?
"Nine Worms of Star can be used to create so demigod-level charms for Fanny, Helene, and the others—or sold to mbers of the Tarot Club for self-defense;
"Traveler’s Bag is basically a spatial pouch from fantasy novels. A very practical item—I bet many people would scramble to buy it, especially Miss Justice... Mm, those Worms of Star could also be made into similar items;
"Lastly, there’s a large quantity of gemstones and materials... This counts as quite a harvest. As expected of the sincerity Amon provided..."
Alvin nodded in satisfaction and imdiately returned to the real world, completing the handover with Yarolan, who had been secretly monitoring the developnts within the estate.
...
On the outskirts of Backlund, as space rippled like the surface of water, two figures gradually erged.
They were the Red Angel dici and the "Prophet" who had assisted Amon in searching for traces of Sefirah Castle—both had been forced to teleport away under the joint suppression of Sauron and Einhorn when the True Creator’s curtain enveloped the estate.
"Pray to the Lord for
right now!" As soon as dici stabilized himself, he imdiately ordered the Prophet.
The reason he had endured the pressure from Sauron and Einhorn to bring out this Monster pathway angel was to establish contact with the Lord. He was already close to losing control over the other two within his soul.
However, the Prophet suddenly smiled strangely, then took out a crystal monocle and placed it over his right eye.
Seeing this, dici unconsciously stepped back. But perhaps because he had suffered too many setbacks today, he quickly recovered and greeted,
"Well, well, little crow.
"So, what do you want with ? Or are you looking to cooperate?
"To be honest, I don’t hate you that much. After all, what happened back then was entirely orchestrated by that madman. The main instigator was Alista Tudor—you could only be considered an accomplice."
The Amon avatar parasitizing the Prophet shook his head with a smile.
"Just hearing your voice makes
a bit unwilling to cooperate. How about this—you let Sauron and Einhorn co out. I have sothing I want to ask them."
"Tsk tsk, after all these years, still as childish and willful as ever. Do you rember who held you when you were still a baby? And who burned your hair?" the Red Angel evil spirit mocked without yielding an inch.
Amon rely replied calmly,
"Childish."
Then, without waiting for dici’s response, He continued, "I do have sothing to ask Sauron or Einhorn. If they can give
a satisfactory answer, I can tell you the whereabouts of a Conqueror characteristic."
dici fell silent for a few seconds before asking, "What do you want to know?"
"I want to know the background of Ebner Bryan, the one who spoke with you earlier." Amon adjusted his monocle and said with a smile.
"To be honest, I actually once thought he was you... After all, you two are similar in certain ways..." dici grumbled, preparing to release Sauron to accept the little crow’s "theft" in revenge for earlier cooperating with Ebner in reading his thoughts.
But at that mont, the Prophet’s expression suddenly changed. The monocle over his right eye abruptly vanished, and before dici could react, he disappeared.
This sudden turn of events left dici stunned for quite a while, vaguely guessing at sothing.
...
At the sa ti, in the garden, Miss Angie Amon Lavran suddenly frowned, and a monocle appeared over Her right eye.
A mont later, the corners of Her lips gradually lifted as She murmured silently,
"How interesting!
"Every ti I get close to Alvin’s secrets, I inexplicably fail...
"And receive no feedback whatsoever...
"Is Alvin’s thod simply too formidable...
"Or is it... a ’coincidence’ manufactured by soone?"
