Mystery: Start with the Reader

Although the gear book was just an image, Abner felt vaguely familiar when looking at it...

This feeling is similar to when I saw the photo of Lamia and Giuseppe...

It should be something that belongs to the "traveler", because it is likely that the "pure white eye" has left a mark on it, so I can feel it?

And this also explains why the gear book can resist the "cycle of fate" of "Tail Eater" Ouroleus... because it is likely to have the atmosphere of "unknown land", and its "destiny" is not in " Within the control of the "Snake of Mercury".

While thinking in his mind, Abner heard the question of "The Hanged Man". He thought about it, organized his words and answered: "In fact, it was because I made a 'prophecy' before, and the revelation I received hinted An item I need may be obtained by the Sun.

“It should be referring to this gear book.

"However, it should have nothing to do with the 'cycle of fate' left by the King of Angels... Didn't the little boy also say that he picked it up on the road?"

It turns out that "prophecy" can also be used to find what you need... I wonder if "divination" can be used... "World" Klein showed no reaction on the surface, but he was thoughtful on the inside.

"Sun" Derrick was happy when he heard this, because he finally lived up to Mr. "Tower"'s trust...

But then he said hesitantly: "Mr. Tower, the structure of this gear book is very complicated. I can't open it to show you... And it's not convenient for me to perform a 'sacrifice' with the chief now..." "

Abner responded with a smile: "It doesn't matter, just give it to me when it's convenient for you... In addition, I will pay accordingly."

For example, the main material needed by the "Sun Priest" is the "Red Crown of the Dawn Rooster". This thing can still be purchased in the Northern Continent, and the extraordinary gathering of the "Thinking Leaves Bar" once received one. Retained by Abner.

But in the land abandoned by the gods, it may be very difficult to find a dawn rooster for a long time.

"No... I volunteered to help you find your morning meal, and I can't ask you for payment..." Derrick "The Sun" waved his hands repeatedly.

Seeing that the topic was about to go off the rails, Klein, who was distressed about spirituality, had no choice but to manipulate "The World" to draw "The Sun"'s attention back to the picture he embodied, and asked him to focus on displaying a mural depicting the "True Creator" come out.

In this painting, a white cross stands in the center, surrounded by sea-like blackness, drowning many human beings struggling to stretch out their arms.

On the cross is the "Fallen Creator" hanging upside down. The rusty iron nails and bloody stains are no different from the idols of the outside world.

But in this mural, the "Fallen Creator" is suffering from the erosion of black, so that the whiteness of the cross has become dark in some places.

Beyond that, the cross supports a hazy patch of earth, where countless humans kneel in prayer to the "fallen Creator."

Around the picture, in the deepest darkness, there are figures like six evil gods hiding.

In the upper left corner is a girl wearing a black classic dress. Her clothes are layered but not complicated, and are inlaid with many stars-like rays of light. Her body is relatively blurred, with signs of ripples emanating from the outside, and her face is blurred. , seems to be wearing a mask without facial features.

Around her, darkness surged, and strange eyes loomed.

Directly above was a young man wearing a pure white robe. His face was painted pure gold, and radiant tentacles grew out.

His hands were holding a rotten green book and a spear condensed with light, and his chest and vest were in reverse positions.

In the upper right corner is a monster holding a trident. It has an octopus-like head, wide eyes, and is wrapped in lightning.

The feathers of countless birds formed its cloak, and the darkness turned into waves to support its feet.

On the lower right is a plump and soft lady, with her chest bulging high and naked outside her clothes. In her arms is a baby with a rotten face. Under her feet are black wheat ears with squirming pieces of flesh. Spring water, pus-oozing herbs and wildly mating animals.

Directly below is an old man wearing a hood, revealing his mouth, wrinkles and white beard.

The old man is holding an open book, with an eye symbolizing omniscience above it.

At first glance, this old man seemed the most normal, but there was something indescribably evil about the smile on his lips.

In the lower left corner is a giant warrior wearing tattered armor, wielding a long sword, sitting on a throne, with the desolate dusk in the background.

Does it mean that the "true Creator" is sacrificing himself, bearing darkness and corruption, fighting against evil gods, and saving the world? Everyone in the Tarot congregation, except for "The Sun" and "Tower", who carefully read this painting, frowned because it broke their inherent impression of the "true Creator".

Abner, on the other hand, felt inexplicable disgust towards Ourolyus after seeing the twisted image of the Earth Mother being slandered.

He examined his heart and secretly guessed: "Is it because Lilith has always taken good care of me, so I don't want to see others deliberately slander her?"

"What kind of evil gods are these?" Alger looked at the octopus-headed monster wrapped in lightning, walking on black waves, wearing a bird feather cloak on its back, and holding a trident halberd, and he also had some associations in his mind.

Derrick "The Sun" shook his head honestly:

"I don't know, I thought you would know each other."

"Justice" Audrey. "Magician" Forsi and "Judgment" Xio cast their gazes over at the same time, carefully observing several times, but there was still no one to guess.

This... Mr. "Fool" was now controlling "The World" to look at Miss "Temperance", and found that the other party also turned her head to look at him.

The two looked at each other and confirmed their suspicions.

After all, the pictures of these evil gods are quite close to the statues of the six gods they saw in the underground ruins of the Tudor family! It's just that one is the normal version and the other is the blackened and corrupted version...

It’s really hard to look directly at, especially the Mother Goddess of Earth, the Lord of Storms and the Eternal Sun. They have not only been transformed into evil gods, but are closer to ugly monsters...

Klein had some doubts in his heart. Although it was expected that the King of Angels on the side of the "True Creator" would slander the Six Gods and distort their image... But why would he treat the Mother Goddess of the Earth, the Lord of Storms, and the Eternal Blazing Sun differently?

Logically speaking, shouldn’t the treatment given to the Earth Mother God be given to the God of Knowledge and Wisdom? After all, He and the other two who belong to the category of "omniscience and omnipotence" are the real "enemies" of the "True Creator"!

Miss Justice, who was in the "spectator" state, discovered the interaction between "World" and "Temperance", and for the first time "read" the other party's emotional fluctuations. She couldn't help but curiously asked: "Mr. 'World', 'Temperance' 'Miss, have you seen similar portraits?"

Because it involves whether "The Sun" can get rid of the strange dilemma that repeats a short period of life, Klein decided to tell what he knew about the situation. When he heard the question of "Justice", he looked at Miss Temperance again. , after all, this is a secret belonging to the two of them, and they must obtain permission before telling it.

Miss Temperance understood what Klein meant and nodded invisibly.

Klein then made "The World" speak hoarsely:

"I've definitely seen similar statues."

After attracting everyone's attention, he paused and added:

"On an adventure to explore the ruins of the Quaternary Age."

"Justice" Audrey was very interested in this, but she maintained a basic reserve on the surface:

"Mr. World, what kind of statue is that? Can you show it to us? Of course, if you are unwilling or need payment, we can discuss it again."

"No need, because this can also solve some doubts for me." "The World" wanted to laugh gloomily, but considering that Sharon was watching there, after doing this, he would face the world as Sherlock in the future. She would probably be embarrassed, so she would give up immediately.

He pretended to make a request to Mr. Fool, and after receiving permission, he revealed the statues of the six gods and the corresponding holy emblems he saw one by one.

The lady with her pillow on the full moon and her layered and uncomplicated skirts looks hazy, but gives people an unusually beautiful feeling. On her black dress, there are also dots of stars, like the late night sky, plus the The iconic Dark Holy Emblem, "Justice" Audrey immediately recognized it as the goddess of the night that she believed in.

This statue is 70% similar to the evil god in the upper left corner of the mural, except that the face is closer to a human being, and there are no weird eyes hidden in the surrounding environment!

Blasphemy! This is blasphemy to the goddess! Audrey suddenly felt a little angry, but quickly calmed down. After all, it is to be expected that the "True Creator" would allow believers to vilify the goddess...

But why is there a humanoid statue of a goddess in the underground ruins... Doesn't it mean that the true god only has symbols? Audrey frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"The Hanged Man" Alger confirmed his previous guess and said with a sigh:

“It turns out that there are distorted images of the six gods on the mural.

"They once really had human form..."

Derrick "The Sun" was first shocked that the evil gods in the picture were the six gods in the normal world, but he soon stopped paying attention to these things because it was not helpful to his current situation...

He thought for a while and asked again:

“Is this mural a key point?”

It's a pity that no one can give a definite answer, not even Abner. After all, these concrete pictures are not the original ones. They just come from Derrick's memory and cannot be "analyzed".

Although in the original work, it is indeed the key point.

"At this time, we have to see whether the 'Beacon of Destiny' will be as 'reliable' as the original work!" Abner muttered secretly in his heart.

Just when he was thinking this, "The Fool" who was sitting in the high-backed chair leisurely adjusted his sitting posture, tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers, and chuckled at the members who looked over excitedly:

"Redemption Rose."
