Chapter 1301: Gift
Dignified Sequence 1s arguing endlessly over such trivial things—don’t you find it embarrassing?
Looking at the Archangels who had fallen into a quarrel, Ebner clapped his hands speechlessly and said, "Gentlen, I have a proposal that can solve your problem."
Sauron, dici, and Einhorn all looked at him at the sa ti and asked in unison, "What proposal?"
Ebner glanced at them and curled his lips. "Very simple. Whether it’s the ’Gatekeeper’ body or that set of armor which reveals the might of a ’War Bishop’ when combined, they will all belong to ...
"In that way, you won’t need to fight over them anymore... How about it? A great solution, right?"
You... Hearing Ebner’s "suggestion," dici and Einhorn imdiately wanted to curse, but upon seeing the "Goddess of Beauty" and "Goddess of Life" beside him, they swallowed the words that were about to co out.
Those two projections were genuine Sequence 1s, and together with the "scalpel" ford from the "Pale Emperor" characteristic, they were extrely suppressive against undead like them who had lost their characteristics.
Moreover, within this "domain of the bizarre," whose level was astonishingly high and seed to be blessed with the power of Sefirah Castle, escape wasn’t even an option.
This situation—wanting to object but not daring to—lasted for a few seconds before Sauron’s evil spirit spoke first: "No problem, I’ll follow your arrangent..."
As soon as he said that, dici inwardly cursed. If the three of them stood united, they might still be able to negotiate conditions with this unknown old monster, but if Sauron sided with the other party, they could only let themselves be handled at his rcy.
Einhorn clearly realized this as well and imdiately switched sides. "You helped
get rid of those two fellows. I have no objections to your proposal."
Seeing this, dici could only bow his head. In any case, he didn’t care much about those items; he just didn’t want Sauron and Einhorn to benefit.
"Very good!" Ebner clapped his hands again. In truth, he didn’t absolutely need that body or the armor—he only wanted to seize the initiative in the conversation and carry out his subsequent arrangents.
Next, imitating Mr. Fool’s thods, he first "blocked" the senses of dici and Einhorn before saying to Sauron:
"According to our previous agreent, I will send you back to the Sauron family in Intis and prepare a Sequence 2 characteristic for you.
"However, angel-level characteristics are hard to find, so it may take so ti."
When he had t the "Red Angel" for the second ti, he had secretly established contact with Sauron... No, to be precise, Sauron had recognized him as "Rhine," so he took the initiative to contact him.
"Rhine, the Sequence 2 can wait, but I need a Sequence 3 characteristic right now... Otherwise, after returning to the family, how would I suppress those juniors?" Sauron’s evil spirit seed very familiar with Rhine, speaking quite casually.
"I’m not Rhine yet..." Ebner first emphasized, then said, "There’s no problem with a Sequence 3 characteristic. I’ve already prepared a ’Unaging Demoness’ Beyonder characteristic."
This characteristic ca from the "Saintess of Blue," Veronica. Her body was currently occupied by the "Demoness Progenitor," Monica, serving as a vessel for moving about, but her Beyonder characteristic had already been separated at the ti of death.
As for Monica’s own downgraded "Demoness of Catastrophe" characteristic, although it was one of the main materials forming the "Ghost Empire," it still maintained a connection with her, so she didn’t urgently need a characteristic to stabilize herself like Aglaea did.
"Even if you’re not now, you will be sooner or later!" After saying this firmly, Sauron looked at Ebner with a half-smile and said teasingly, "Instead of giving
that ’War Bishop’ armor, you’re giving
a ’Unaging Demoness’ characteristic?"
"I have other uses for that ’War Bishop’ armor," Ebner replied calmly, then skipped over the topic and added, "Don’t forget what you promised ."
"Don’t worry. Once I take control of the current Sauron family, I’ll push it forward," Sauron’s evil spirit nodded, then silently added in his heart, I’m looking forward to the day you rember my na, Teacher Rhine.
After reaching an agreent with Sauron, Ebner blocked his senses and then turned to have a private conversation with Einhorn.
"After giving you that armor, when you return to Feysac, you should be able to gain so say, right?" Ebner asked after packing the entire set of armor into a "spatial pocket."
"Of course. With the ’War Bishop’ characteristic, my strength won’t be weaker than an ordinary Sequence 2. Naturally, I’ll have influence," Einhorn’s evil spirit replied matter-of-factly.
"Very good!" Ebner nodded in satisfaction. "I’ll lend you this armor temporarily. My only requirent is that in the upcoming war, Feysac’s advance route must bypass Berdan City."
Hearing this, Einhorn’s evil spirit hesitated briefly before agreeing. After all, if he returned to Feysac without a Sequence 3 characteristic, he couldn’t guarantee how his descendants would treat him...
However, he asked one final question: "Does this count as the request you ntioned as part of the ’surgery’ paynt?"
"Of course not!" Ebner said as if it were obvious. "This is a separate deal...
"As for the request from the ’surgery’ paynt, I’ll inform you when I’ve decided later."
"Alright." Einhorn didn’t bargain further. Mainly because he didn’t know that Sauron’s side had already been settled so easily—otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed so readily.
After finishing his conversation with him, Ebner finally turned to dici and said with a smile, "What’s the point of fighting them over these things?
"Without their burden, once you leave here, you can pray to the True Creator. The support you receive then will definitely be stronger than these items."
The True Creator certainly wouldn’t lack high-sequence characteristics of the Hunter pathway.
As for that "Gatekeeper," Ebner planned to keep it.
Because although it was called a "Gatekeeper," that was rely a functional designation—the body actually belonged to a forr "Undying" of the Numinous Episcopate. But the previous Sauron-Einhorn-dici had only needed his "Gatekeeper" ability.
"That makes sense..." dici put on an enlightened expression and glanced at the two Archangels in the distance before saying, "As the Lord’s ’Angel of War,’ I have no need to fight wild dogs for scraps."
"Your sarcasm, like you, is still stuck in the last epoch," Ebner retorted. Then he saw the "Undying" in the black robe suddenly lose all signs of life, its skin and flesh rapidly decaying into yellow-green pus.
In just a few seconds, only a white skeleton and the separated Beyonder characteristic remained.
Clearly, dici had already severed his connection with it.
dici didn’t look at his forr "body" and instead asked, "You can tell
the task you need
to do now, right?"
"We’ll have to wait a bit longer... When I need it, I’ll naturally inform you." Ebner hadn’t yet decided what to have him do.
"That’s fine... When you’ve decided, recite my honorific na. I’m really looking forward to seeing you co begging
when you’re at your wit’s end," dici chuckled.
Don’t worry, you’ll never see that... If I’m ever at my wit’s end, wouldn’t it be better to go ask the Goddess and Lilith?
After grumbling inwardly for a while, Ebner removed the sensory "block" and, without giving the three angels a chance to communicate, sent them to three different countries.
...
In Berdan City, inside a castle that looked extrely gloomy.
Fors glanced at the surrounding "ghosts" and couldn’t help but tightly grab Xio’s hand with one hand and Ebner’s with the other. Then, forcing herself to remain calm, she complained:
"You’ve moved the ’haunted castle’ I described in my novel into reality...
"This is the gift you prepared for my advancent to ’Traveler’?
"And aren’t those ’ghosts’ a bit too powerful... My spirituality is already warning !
"You’re even planning to open a place like this to tourists? Aren’t you afraid of scaring people to death?"
