Chapter 172 Summary After the Incident

416

——Inside the Decline King——

Agaritu: Can you hear me?

Agaritu-sent "Intelligence.rar".

Agaritu: The sea is strange. Take a look.

Edward Vaughan - Received "intelligence.rar".

Edward Vaughn: Got it, let me see.

——Exit internal chat——

Edward put down the newspapers that Backlund's followers had sacrificed, decompressed the intelligence files, obtained all the memories and insights shared by Agaritu for more than half a month, and began to analyze and study them one by one.

This is much more interesting than exchanging insults with Farbuti.

"I feel like the plan went pretty well. I got the ship and got my identity. I'm just waiting to go to the Eastern Continent for inspection."

He clicked his tongue a few times and observed the doubtful points in the information:

"The contaminated Poseidon characteristics are missing? Is there suspected interference at the true god level? There is no doubt that the Lord of Storms will not care about such a trivial matter. What else can it be besides Origin Castle! Did this kid Klein run to the sea?"

"I thought he would go directly to the Southern Continent through Azik Eggers to seek asylum from the Spiritual Religion!"

In Edward's mind, Azik's face appeared, with an expression of tangled and suppressed anger. He was looking forward to what kind of choices the resurrected Death God would make and what surprises it would bring to Night and Adam.

"After all, Azik Eggers is the son of the God of Death and the designated heir of the God of Death. He can be considered a favored one after all."

Then, He responded to Agaritu’s doubts:

"It is unlikely to be the work of the 'Hanged Man'. According to previous speculations, the 'Hanged Man' should be a mid-level sailor or a sailor preparing to be promoted to mid-level. He may be a pirate or a member of the Church of Storms. This level The only limit for extraordinary people to survive in a tsunami is to survive, and there is no way they can still have the energy to respond internally and sacrifice their remaining characteristics to Klein."

"I am more inclined to think that this is the work of Klein himself, perhaps with the protection of Azik Eggers. Because 'Aquaman' is very angry now. He spent a lot of effort but the fruits of victory were picked up by unknown people. .”

"I'm sure you know what to look out for."

The message was sent, and He got the answer "I will pay attention to the relevant information."

It has been a bad year recently. After being promoted, I suffered a dark night. I killed someone and was resurrected by the Source Castle. Now I have fallen to the point where even grabbing a sailor's extraordinary characteristics will be interfered with.

Edward felt lost and began to miss the Devil's Path Sequence 1, which he had only owned for less than a month.

This characteristic was shattered once after being obtained by the goddess of the night, and the residue of the spiritual imprint in it was cleared away. However, the trace of pollution hidden in it is not so easy to remove. It is currently stored in the Quiet Church in Winter County, somewhere on the fourth underground floor. In a corner, it is classified as a level 0 sealed object.

Although he is half a world away from me, this characteristic still keeps in touch with him.

Therefore, judging from the intense heat and irritability that he felt from time to time, he should have been placed near a sealed object of the "sun" path.

It was not collected in Backlund. It seems that I was worried that my characteristics and some existing mystical connections with 0-17 would cause bad changes in my divine descending container... Fortunately, I left a little contamination in the characteristics in advance. On, the positioning function works very well.

If this characteristic was collected in Backlund, then the next day you would see newspaper headlines "Gas leak in Samuel Cathedral, huge explosion, no survivors!" 》Big news, it can also pollute 0-17. You can let 0-17 run away by yourself, or use pollution to make the consciousness of "Mother of Heaven" resurface.

Edward had already experienced "secretness" personally, and it was different from what he imagined.

"Darkness" and "Death" are adjacent paths, so he originally thought that secretion was another meaning of "death", that is, completely eliminated and ceased to exist. Unexpectedly, he was sent to a specific place and cut off from the outside world. contact.

Also, for living creatures, if they cut off all ties with the world, it is equivalent to being secretive.

But since it is "hidden" rather than eliminated, and the body of "Mother of Heaven" is still alive, it is not impossible to strengthen this almost non-existent consciousness again.

Likewise, perhaps Antigonus could be reawakened in this way.

If all the remnants of the demon wolf wake up, Kurony must have a headache, right? "Mother of Heaven" also follows the forward-acting route of "sleep, sleep, and requiem". If she comes to life, some of the faith guidance given to the goddess of night will be diverted... But judging from the size of the diocese of night , it’s just that the angel’s “Mother of Heaven” can only be separated very limitedly, maybe we should consider letting Antigonus come back to life...

"If Antigonus awakens, then the goddess of night will be in the same situation as the storm, the sun and wisdom."

"The most powerful competitor for the Lord of Mysteries is his own mortal enemy!"

I really don't understand how they did this.

Under the premise that the Lord of Mysteries is required to open the seal, he actually has a grudge against the existing high-sequences of the three mysterious paths.

And now that everyone has their revenge, they still don’t want to forcefully open the seal with the thought of giving birth to God.

It is not a good idea to expect Antigonus and Amon to fight among themselves. They know who their enemies are, and since they are equally powerful, they will become friends and make becoming gods their first priority.

In the last 18 years of the end, the spirit of "Tianzun" has been quite weak.

Having failed before, as well as enemies who have become gods and relatives who have become vessels for the gods to descend, Antigonus should be more motivated than Amon to become a god.

This is where the Goddess of Night is smart. After she discovered Klein, an old remnant who could communicate with Source Castle, she did not tell anyone else. Instead, she let him go wild and deliberately ignored him. Otherwise, Klein would have been killed by Adam first. Let Amon obtain the Source Castle.

A young man with basic morals is much easier to control than Amon.

"The two of them will definitely not accept the overtures and investments from the Seven Gods. Even if they die, they will let themselves die in the hands of another person... No matter who becomes a god in the end, the choice of the Lord of Mysteries has been decided, and the Seven Gods cannot help it. Let’s fight among ourselves to choose someone.”

Edward was looking forward to this scene and was already thinking about when to go into hiding again.

He touched his chin and muttered to himself: "Pales Zoroastrian has been neglected for so long. If the situation becomes complicated, he may be chased away and put on the shelf for investment, or Zarathustra may become a success. The biggest winner.”

"Although the Night Goddess still has the option of Klein, but... in front of the King of Angels in this path, what does Klein mean? If Antigonus is willing, seizing Source Castle is just a 'fooling' matter. Besides, Klein may not be willing to sacrifice himself for the current world."

Playing the "fool" and being the "fool" are two different things.

According to Edward's calculation of Klein, the other person is just an ordinary person who has not yet left the human category. He is not attractive to people like Russell who ignores the hatred that will destroy the world. Even if Klein becomes a god, he will probably be active. Find a way home.

Of course, Klein should have learned information about the "Outer God" during his angel stage, and then obtained information about "This is the Earth."

If his obsession collapses, will he lose control and go crazy...

Anyway, Russell probably collapsed for a short while, but by then he had already become famous and had a sense of belonging and attachment in this world, and he lived longer than in his previous life.

He didn't lose control, and the Fallen Mother Goddess quickly made him happy.

Edward walked out of the house, took a walk in his newly built small garden, and looked at the looming active volcano in the distance for a while.

From here, you can reach the edge of the abyss.

He took out a map from his arms. The map was a square cut out, which was part of the western sea. He could see the corners of the southern continent and small western countries such as Feneport and Lemberg in the northern continent.

Jumping from here, there is still a long way to the west of the archipelago that Richard mentioned... The abyss is a place where the real world exists, and that part of the spiritual world has been closed due to pollution. I can't dive there. .

Agaritu's activity range is mainly in the east, and the distance from him is the entire sea.

Moreover, his identity makes it inconvenient to go to the abyss. Alas, it would be great if there was a skill like the Secret Puppet Master that allows the body and the Secret Puppet to be interchanged at any time!

"Zarath..."

Zaratul seems to have no possibility of becoming a god... There is no rootless flower sea, and he is deliberately hidden, so I can't see clearly... But it seems that Zaratul doesn't need to worry too much, even if his order is very... Come forward...

Edward murmured to himself, using a small flower shovel to loosen the soil in the garden, just practicing his crafts when he was bored.

"well!"

"I spent a lot of money to make the goddess of the night lower her vigilance towards me to the limit, but a big smog made her vigilant again."

"Repent for the past, regret for the past!"

"At that time, the choice of 'losing both sides and fleeing to the end of the world' would be a better world line."

"At this point, we have no choice but to imitate the great 0-08 and find a way to let the characteristics come out on their own."

Last week, He built a small garden for himself, burned some bricks and surrounded a small flower bed. Then He felt that the garden was too empty, so he built a small kennel in it and raised a demon dog that only had a spirit body. He also made two fences and put some ivy and morning glories on them, but now in winter, the flowers are not blooming, so he built himself another swing.

In this way, He, one of the two demon kings, lived a stable retirement life with all kinds of flowers and plants and dogs.

Because he was really bored, he also carved a pendant statue of the True Creator out of wood and found an opportunity to offer it as a sacrifice.

The True Creator did not reject it. and gave a newspaper in return.

"The consciousness that constitutes Agaritu is still too little. He has not established his own character image, and is still subconsciously imitating me... He actually calls Her Royal Highness Princess Bernadette, which is very wise."

"It feels like Bernadette feels that these two identities are connected to a certain extent..."

Edward muttered, still planning an escape route.

Of course, he couldn't be monitored by the goddess of the night all the time. Edward looked at the date in the newspaper - today is January 17th.

You have already voluntarily been in jail for half a month. Isn't that a great honor? If you don't walk in the dark, you will have to wonder if you have a conspiracy.

Pack up your things and run away as soon as possible!

417

Daniz tried his best to avoid the members of the Church of Storms and the military who were patrolling the streets, and spent a lot of time returning to the hotel through the path.

He had just run back to the hotel where he and Hermann lived, and as soon as he closed the door, he heard the sound of the door opening from behind!

Daniz was horrified, and looked back as if he was dead. He saw the neatly dressed Gehrman opening the door and giving him a cold glance.

The big pirate suddenly fell into chaos. He looked out the window, at himself, and then at the crazy adventurer who had just flashed by but was obviously real. His mouth slowly opened, and he felt that his world view collapsed.

I was scared to death. I thought it was an illegal intrusion, but it turned out to be Daniz...

Behind the door, Klein breathed a sigh of relief. He locked the door, walked four steps backwards, then lay down on the bed and pretended to rest, resuming the interrupted ritual.

When the familiar majestic palace came into view, his heart calmed down, and then excitement continued to surge.

Klein sat on the high-backed chair that belonged to the Fool, raised his right palm, and examined the short staff inlaid with blue "gems" and dyed with a bit of darkness and morning light.

Countless light points floated around this sealed object, and each point seemed to correspond to a praying believer. This made the scepter's milky white body glow, which was both psychedelic and sacred.

At this moment, Klein felt that the scepter was the "Poseidon" himself!

So, he took advantage of the situation and named it "Poseidon's Scepter".

Due to the spiritual warning, he did not touch it rashly with his hands. The short staff was wrapped in gray mist and floated in the air, looking very harmless.

After a while of fiddling, Klein initially figured out the ability of the "Poseidon Scepter":

It can create tsunamis, blow hurricanes, produce heavy rains, bring lightning strikes, and allow people to fly in the sky and walk on the bottom of the sea, with almost no restrictions.

It is nearly indestructible and can directly smash the enemy's head. It allows the holder to never get lost without the superposition of other powerful factors. It can provide unimaginable balance capabilities, drive many underwater creatures, and respond to believers. Prayers give people the power of a sea monster, becoming the master of a sea area.

Is this what Kavitua is capable of? Indeed enough to call himself "Poseidon"!

No wonder he has been called a demigod since Sequence 4. This is really more like a god than a human... Klein sighed silently, and then laughed at himself:

"If I could use the 'Poseidon Scepter' normally, I could already serve as the senior deacon of the Nighthawks and become one of the twenty most powerful people in the church... If Ince Zangwill didn't have '0-08', Being at sea again, I can take revenge on him immediately, and even have a good hope of success.

"But can I use the 'Poseidon Scepter' normally?"

"cannot……"

Klein has just discovered that the negative effects of the "Poseidon Scepter" are astonishing. Within the Church of the Night, it is absolutely easy to obtain the evaluation of a "1" level sealed object, and it is unknown how many researchers have to die to figure out the best seal. and usage.

There are four negative effects of "Poseidon Scepter":

First, it makes the holder become irritable, easily angry, and easily overheated;

The second is to periodically solidify the minds of all creatures within a certain range and drain their blood, including the holder. As for how large the range is and what the specific value of the cycle is, Klein, who is not a professional researcher, cannot give an accurate estimate. The description can only be a rough estimate. It is believed that the range is 600 meters to 1 kilometers, and the cycle is 20 minutes to 35 minutes;

The third is to gather and present the prayers of believers, with both sounds and images, which can easily cause non-demigod holders whose spirits are not strong enough to directly collapse and lose control.

Fourth, from the moment it touches the scepter, the user's body will begin to collapse rapidly. Once the physical body collapses, the spiritual body will also perish at the same time. Judging from the previous spiritual scenes, the Sequence 6 self couldn't even touch it. If he wanted to reach out and hold it, he would have to be at least a Sequence 5 person.

"The first one is okay. If it is only used in a short period of time, anger and irritability are acceptable. To put it simply, with such a powerful sealed object, it will be done with recklessness..."

"Third, there is actually a way to avoid it. Well... if it is kept above the gray fog, it seems that it can break the distance limit. However, the sound or picture of prayer will be blocked and reduced to light spots, which will not have the slightest impact on me. I can freely choose whether to respond, who to respond to, and how to respond..."

"The biggest problem is the second one. I'm fine myself. When I transformed into the Black Emperor, I was a resentful soul with no blood and was not afraid of being drained. But the surrounding creatures were miserable. They didn't distinguish between friend and foe at all, and they cycled It’s hard to be sure... You can’t encounter a dangerous situation. Let’s discuss it with the enemy first. Can we change the date and place again?”

Klein thought carefully and conceived several scenarios for using the "Poseidon Scepter", but these all depended on the environment and accurate judgment beforehand, and were hardly feasible.

"Huh... Could it be that its destiny is to stay above the gray mist, and when people like Amon try to 'touch' it, give them a shuttle, no, a lightning..."

"The fourth negative effect is a bit strange. It actually causes the physical and spiritual bodies to collapse at the same time. To encounter it, you need at least Sequence 5. If you want to use it for a long time, you must be at least a demigod, but it itself is just one Sealed objects produced by Sequence 3 extraordinary characteristics...if they require the same level or even higher level to be able to use them freely, wouldn't this become useless?"

Knowing that collapse would also affect the spirit body, Klein didn't want to touch it even in Source Castle.

The gray mist wrapped the scepter and floated around him, arriving at a moment's notice. Klein had to admit that this was really impressive.

"It feels like this negative effect is too strong. It doesn't seem to be the power of Kavitua itself. Could it be that Kavitua itself suffered some pollution or curse and was preserved?"

After thinking about it for a while, Klein thought of another important thing.

"Poseidon" is dead, should I care about the resistance and Poseidon believers?

In fact, there is no need. This kind of local belief has long been outdated and very ignorant. But after Kavitua no longer responds to believers, these desperate believers are likely to increase the number and number of living sacrifices, just like the death of their gods. The madness before... Without years or even decades of propaganda and crackdowns, they would not be willing to accept the reality that "Poseidon is dead".

When the resistance does not have the support of the indigenous god Kavitua, they may have no choice but to turn to Fusac or Intis. At that time, with their extreme beliefs, they may be driven to do inhumane things, such as, Attacking places where civilians gather, for example, asking those children with innocent eyes to stand in front...

This is of great benefit to myself. Having obtained the scepter, I can now directly play the role of "god"!

"I need to give them some guidance, I need to tell them what the correct way of belief is, but I can't burden myself. I just need to give them some help within my ability... I am not responsible for saving their fate..."

This is a rare opportunity to perform. All "Poseidon" believers are their own audience. Responding to prayers is acting. They can get a lot of feedback and help themselves make rapid progress in digesting the "Faceless Man" potion.

…………

In a hidden cave in the jungle of Lanshan Island.

The bald rebel Karat fell off his wheelchair, his eyes desperate and confused as he crawled towards the Kavitua statue that broke by itself in front of him.

He vaguely sensed something, but was unwilling to believe it, because it meant that all persistence, all sacrifices, and all pain would be meaningless.

No... He screamed silently, constantly whispering the honorable name of "Sea God" Kavitua, trying to get a response from the god.

He propped his elbows on the ground and dug his fingers into the mud. He moved inch by inch to the front of the broken statue. He picked up the head of the sea snake carved from stone and found that the eyes were strangely sunken into black holes and the teeth were all gone. fall.

Karat was almost frozen, and his eyes seemed to have lost the light.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a blurry figure, and behind him was a dark blue tsunami pouring into the sky and silvery white lightning branching like tree branches.

In shock, Karat lowered his head instinctively, and unbelievable joy suddenly emerged in his heart.

He saw that the soles of the figure's feet were surrounded by waves and surrounded by hurricane winds. The whole figure was majestic, sacred, lofty and broad.

Then, he heard an indifferent and majestic voice:

"I'm back."

As the voice echoed, Karat shed tears for no apparent reason.
